80 BOYS OF COUNTY
WILL Be HERE NEXT
WEEK TO JOIN ARMY

Our soldier boys will be here neN
Tuesday and a reception worth while
should be given them. They are go
ing TO Camp Funston where the gov
eminent will send them perhaps to
F'rance and perhaps somewhere else.
lt may be the last time we will see
them and they are going forth to de-
fend our country while we remain at
home and enjoy peace and prosperity.
Perhaps later on some of US will be
called and then we would enjoy know
ing that our services and sacrifices are
appreciated by those who will derive
the benefits of our labors. II would
not cost much to entertain the boys
and give them reception where we
can shake their hands and wish them
good luck and a safe return home af-
ter an honorable career.
Mr.. John Grayson and Mr.. Jim Wise
are asking the citizens of Tucumcari
and Quay county what they intend to
do next Tuesday when we bid farewell
to thirty-eight boys. Arrangements
have not yet been made but as the
time draws near every patriotic citizen
will volunteer to do his or her part.
