ORGANIZING HOME GUARDS

A company of home guards" is in
the course of formation H. G. Coleman
being the instigator of the move. Last
evening forty-eight had signed their
names to the muster roll and in a few
days the stalwarts will meet and form
an organization, elect officers, etc. Fol-
lowing is the preamble, below which
the m are being affixed:
I'VE, the undersigned, subscribe u
I'M hereto for the purpose of form
ing a local military organization in
Dalhart, Dallam county, Texas, to be
known as Dallam county Home Guards
and agree that after fifty names of ell
igible persons have been signed here
to, that we will have a meeting in
body of all persons whose names are
hereto subscribed, for the purpose of
perfecting an organization and for the
election Of officers consisting of cap
tain. first lieutenant, second lieuten-
ant and subordinate officers."-Dal-
hart Texan.
The above item shows what other
towns are doing. Dalhart is ne eX-
ception. Tucumcari is slow to act or
this proposition because the citizens
believe the war is a matter of only n
few months, but there is no telling
the tide of battle may turn and as the
German armies become more desperate
it may give them strength and vigor
to push the allies back. Since the U.
S. and other countries have broken re-
lations with Germany and the allies
have been so successful in their drive
on the western front, a reverse would
be intolerable, so if necessary the U.
s. should mobilize a vast army and
train them for action whether they
be called upon or not. Don't be a
Stacker" don't expect to let the other
fellow do your fighting and then en-
pect him to honor your ability.
In Tucumcari families Of German
parentage have proven themselves to
be even more patriotic than some of
those who have no German ancestry.
Look v e the town and you will find
the American flag flying in profusion
from the stores and residences and
only one or two German homes are
not carrying the colors.
In a meeting at Albuquerque this
week the German Lutheran church
declared its allegiance to this govern
ment. What more could we ask?

Harris Race for Senate.

w j. Harris hasn't had much to
say within the past few days. He is
probably letting Christmas have full
sway before the Introduction of poll
tees. Another thing to his credit
Thomasyille Times Enterprise.
Well, there is little more, if any
thing, left for Mr, Harris to say at this
time. The fact has already been an
nounced that he is a candidate for
the senate to succeed Senator Hard
wick, and that it is his purpose to
resign from the Commerce Commits
sion and enter actively upon his cam
paign early in the new year He has
been hearing from the people through
out the state. too, and that he has
been hearing is not only encouraging,
but entirely satisfactory, need not be
doubted, for never has has "a candi-
date for any office in Georgia had
more reason to feel comfortable over
his prospect Of success. Public senti-
ment has become so well focused up
on William ]. Harris as the man for
this particular political emergency
that there is no occasion for any
Christmas pyrotechnics over it.-Al-

4 MERRY CHRISTMAS.

An English rhyme, nearly four humid
red years old, goes like this;
'At Christmas play and make good
cheer,
For Christmas comes but once a
year"
This year Christmas comes at the
end of the most prosperous, the most
momentous. and in some respects the
most terrible year this country has
ever known.
1t affords an excellent occasion for
throwing OF the depression which
many naturally feel on account of the
critical condition Of the times. It gives
opportunity to turn the mind to more
engaging sentiments. For at Christ
mas, as OF no other time, We should
make merry and be light of heart and
Of good cheer. It is due ourselves,
our friends, and the world generally.
The Times-Recorder expresses the
htartiest Christmas greeting to its
friends, patrons and subscribers. 1t
has enjoyed a bountiful year-the
best, perhaps, it has ever had. And
ia its period Of good cheer it wishes
as much for those whose goodwill
has made it entirely possible
Our hope is that everybody will have
merry Christmas, that there will
be turkey on every table, and not
al empty stocking anywhere!
