trees set out in the cemetery this week
which will add greatly to the ornamen-
tation to that place. There is plenty
Of water accessible now since the city
water is piped to the cemetery and

Cards were received in Tucumcari
this week from Leroy o. Moore, done
at the request of Governor Lindsey,
to ascertain the names Of the automo-
bile owners of New Mexico who will
volunteer their services and the use Of
their car for protection of our State.
Many have answered this question and
declared their willingness to cooper
ate with the Governor or the L. S.
O. c. Goodloe, who has charge Of
the clothing department in the VI. B.
~Goldenberg store, reports the sale Of
an extra large Styleplus suit to an
extra large man this week. The coat
vas No. 80; the pants were 80 inches
around the waist. The queer part #
the story vas that the charges were
just l7.00-the same price charged
for Styleplus Suits not specially or
dered. High cost Of living cuts no ice
with Styleplus.
Messrs. Stark, Case. Will Dodson
and Muirhead left Wednesday for the
State capital where they will try to
convince State Engineer French that
immediate road work must be com
menced in this county. Promptness in
action means much to this county and
these gentlemen will work diligently
to show the state department that
Quay county is in the State of New
Mexico and is inhabited by a live wire
bunch that believes in good schools
and good roads.
f. NJ. Higday, the local buyer for
the Light Grain Co., was offering the
big sum Of $500 per bushel for wheat
delivered to the elevator. There is
considerable wheat in this part of the
state but the farmer is like the other
fellow he is holding his grain for top
prices. Flour is going out of sight
and the natives around here may be
glad they are allowed free grazing
privileges in parts of the state. II
is thought the &c eminent will take
charge of the market and regulate all
prices of food stuffs if the situation
becomes any worse.
