Holder Bros. set up last week
and they struck water at a depth
Of los feet. They drilled on the

luck" and he has put in a good
pump and windmill to run it and
will get dobies for his building
at home hereafter,

Is Cars of Beans

C.L, Wensell, Of the Roy Trad
ing Co. secured a contract last
week which enabled him to buy
up fifteen ear loads Of beans at
9 1-2 and 10 cents per pound.
This chance opportunity was
eagerly grabbed by the bean
raisers of this vicinity who ex-
pect the Hoover price to be be-
low that figure when it is estab-
lished. 1t is conservatively esti-
that this mesa will have
so car loads of beans to spare
this fall.

Fine Showing

/ A perusal Of the report Of the
IL0.O,F. Grand Lodge held at
albuquerque Oct. 2-S, which is
already lrinted and in the hands
Hof the lodges, in the quickest
time ever known, shows that
Homestead Lodge, of Roy is well
up among the best lodges of the
state, in membership, finance
and fraternal efficiency. Post
master VIM. G. Johnson, who
was our representative this year
made a record worth while.
He fellin for appointment as
chairman Of the Finance Commit
tee, a place including more hard
work and requiring mere ability
as auditor and accountant than
any other in the grand lodge and
filled the place so acceptably that
he was awarden the appointment
Of Grand Conductor, for the en-
suing term.
The report shows that Roy in
itiated more new members than
any other lodge in the state, with
Roswell and Clayton as close
seconds, and y in point of mem
bership; this in competition with
all the cities of the state is not
a bad showing for a Rural Will
age". DR.. M. D. Gibbs is D. D.
G. M. for the coming year.

DIR. C, PIumlee was called to
Mora Monday on some business
connected with the exemption
Board. 1t is certainly patriotic
duty in his case to have to leave
his hospital and make these aw-
full trips Of 1876 miles to the county
seat every week for nothing and
even his actual expense account
haggled over.
However it is a satisfaction to
know that if anything irregular
gets by this county's board it
will have to be done without the
Dr's. knowledge or consent.

Sam Strong hands us a paper
containing a letter from Mrs.
Strong's cousin in the U, S. En-
cheering Corps at Van Couver
Washington,
He seems up to date and shows
a lively interest and understand
ing Of all that pertains to the
war and when common prose
failed to express his sentiments
he branched out in verse as
follows
"No more ham and eggs for
breakfast.
When the bugle calls for Chow"
No more apple pie or dumplins'
For we're in the army now.
They feed US beans for breakfast
And at noon we have them too,
And at night they fill our tum-
mics
With good old army stew.
No, more izzes, beer or high-
balls,
When we have an awful thirst,
If you're thinking Of enlisting
Better get used to water first.
For the lids on tight all over,
And drilling makes us warm,
But we can't cool off with liquor
Cause we wear the uniform.
No more shirts of silk and linen
We all wear the 20. D." stuff
No more nightshirts or pajamas,
For our pants are good enough.
No more feather ticks or pillows
But we're glad to thank the Lord
That we've got a cot and blankets
When we might have just a beard
For they feed us beans for break
fast,
And at noon we have them too.
And at night they fill our tum-
mics
With good old army stew.
But by jingoes, We'll lick the
kaiser
When the sergeants teach us how
For hang him, he's thereason why
We're in the army now!

Buy Elevator

The Floersheim Mercantile Co.
closed a deal with the Wilson Co.
of Mills, by which they gain pos
session of the new grain elevator
in Roy This wilI'be a wonder
full improvement in handling the
balance of the wheat crop. Many
cars have been loaded already
with scoop shovels, a hard and
wasteful method, Hereafter the
dump at the elevator will be used
for handling Wheat and beans,
1t is a very satisfactory arrange
ment al around.

Mr.. ]. w. Snyder, who came
last week to take charge Of the
Wilson Co. Elevator here. seems
to have been invoiced with the
rest of the machinery in the sale
and remains in charge since the
FIoersheim Co. has purchased it.
It certainly is more practical
than the grim joke of shoveling
wheat into the cars with scoop
shovels with a new and modern
elevator standing by idle.
