In spite Of rain and mud and
darkness the Harper Recital at
the hall Saturday Night was we'll
attended. Some of the talent
failed to arrive, stuck in the mud
enroute, but those who did come
did their best, spurred on by in
sistent encore by the audience,
to make up for their absence.
A good crowd was present and
thoroly enjoyed the program
which was most of it impromptu
The receipts, $16.50 were be-
low the amount hoped for but
we think pretty good for such a
bad night.
The program will be repeated
at the Weatherill Hall, Mills,
Saturday evening, Sept. 10Th.
when it is hoped conditions will
be better and a better crowd
present.

About Wheat

The farmers of this mesa have
taken a decided stand against
the situation created by the ma
chine methods of the Food Dicta-
tor plan of setting the price on
wheat. The flat rate named at
Kansas City or Galveston, when
the freight and export duty are
deducted, leaves the best possible
price in Roy $1.85 against the
guaranty of $40 per bushel by
the dictator.
AS has been shown, this makes
wheat the cheapest commodity
on the mesa and, as a conse-
quence thousands of acres Of
seeding has been abandoned and
the wheat now stored by the
farmers is being used as feed
for their teams and to fatten
hogs and other uses for which it
will not sell for enough to re-
place it with any other grain.
A quantity of colored posters
have been sent here by the Dept.
urging the planting of wheat un-
der the Government Guarantee
} of $500 per bushel for next yeai
These posters in the hands Of &
! conscientious and honest mar
! are being held, as such a mar
cannot post them with the evi
dence we have, that the promise
will not be fulfilled and that the
promise of $500 wheat will NEAR

be charged against it before

New Postoffice

The Roy Postofice is at last
moved to the new quarters where
a 10 year lease will keep it for a
time. The new fixtures were set
up Sunday and the P. 0. moved
in for the noon mail.
1t is a fine outfit, fully as good
as Ration or Tucumcari has with
all the modern convenience in
equipment as we'll as'a a strictly
modern building with electric
light, steam heat and proper ven
tilation, also a safe and roomy
vault.
Postmaster Johnson will now
entertain visitors in his tidy pri-
vate office at the front instead OF
out in the lobby and we will all
experience a feeling of self re-
spect on entering for our mai

perienced.

by the general public Saturday
Sept. 22d from 2.30 to $50 Pm

Mrs. Justice conducted the farm

of wheat including cooking for

Personal Notice
To My Friends and Patrons:

10 MY rrlenuS anu IdIIOiiS'
Just one year ago ! opened
an office in a little four room
adobe building. In less than
three months realized that |
needed more room and added
five rooms, a kitchen. bath and
linen closet. Since then the
rooms have been full practically
all the time and many times we
were in need of more room,
have spent every dollar ! could
get in improving and equipping
the hospital so that | as well as
the people could feel that we had
as good and we'll equipped a hos
pital as any town our size and
that patients here could feel that
they could have as good care and
treatment as in the larger insti-
tutions in the east.
The great majority of the
people here have shown great
: interest in our. hospital, have
0 taken great pride in it and have
encouraged with kind words and
their patronage, each giving a
4 boost and a cheerful word and
$ seeming to feel that he had a
S personal interest in it.
e For this am very thankful
e and would like to express my
thanks personally to each indi-
vidual, and want every one to
II feel that he has lent a helping
IS hand and that we have built up a
e nice home and retreat for our
n sick and injured, without asking
t. one dollar donation from any one
e as so many towns are compelled
is to do.
Ny idea in writing this letter
is to express my thanks to the
"a people and let them know that
Re we intend to continue to build
n and add to our hospital until Roy
W can boast of the finest and best
20 equipped private hospital in New
le Mexico.
All that we ask Of you isyoui
patronage, good word and
rs this
70 Will each and every one who
10 is indebted to US make a special
ID effort, even if it does pinch you
y just little, to pay US what you
u owe US.
We are struggling mighty
hard to raise the money to en-
le large to a twenty bed hospital
is this winter and if you will each
n make it a point to settle your
d own bill we can reach it.
d Now let each one appoint
n himself a committee of one to
t. see that his account due the hos
IS pital is paid before Dec. 1st, and
n in doing this remember you are
IS probably preparing place where
e yourself or wife, mother, father
e or some other dear one, when
misfortune befalls in the form of
serious illness or injury, may
have the best of care and atten-
n tion that medical science can
n give and the benefit of all the
v new and scientific inventions
: without the necessity of risking
= their lives with the few precious
a hours spent on jolting railway
g train, trying to reach a hospital
! several miles away.
Thanking you again and ask
% ing you to help US in the way just
4 proposed,
Il Adv. | am sincerely yours,
