BRITISH AND GERMAN
ARMIES OEAOLOCKEO
ON WESTERN FRONT

British headquarters in France, Nov.
29-Little infantry action was appar-
ent today in the vicinity Of the village
of Fontaine where the two contesting
forces are nearly deadlocked with the
advantage slightly on the side of the
British.
Fontaine is town Of dead. Corpses
are piled everywhere. 1t was the
scene Of the most sanguinary fighting
of the war as waves of British and
Germans ebbed and flowed through it..
British forces, facing intrenched ma
chine gun fire, fought their way thru
the town yesterday and took possess
sion only to be driven out later by
German divisions arriving in over-pow-
ering strength. These were later driv-
en- out. There are now in the town
only concealed British and German pa
trol. The British are not in possession
of the town but neither are the Ger
mans. To the north the British have
made some progress.

DUKE CITY VICTOR
OVER TUCUMCAR| BY
VOTE OF 55| TO 1872

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Nov. 2S.-Albu-
querque today was chosen a. the place
for holding the 1918 convention of the
New Mexico Educational Association.
Yesterday afternoon it looked like
Tucumcari was leading by a good
margin. This spurred the Duke City
adherents to action. This morning
they got busy among the teachers
and when the ballots were counted
following the closing of the boxes at
noon, Albuquerque was found TO have
55l votes to Tucumcari's 1892.
Miss Isabel Eckies of Silver City,
was unanimously elected to the office
Of president, receiving 937 votes; two
were cast for Mrs. Josie Lockard. of
Ration and two for DR.. David X. Boyd.
c. f. Grover of Alamogordo was
elected vice president without opposi-
ton.
John Milne, superintendent of the
Albuquerque schools, was elected sec
retary. He received 943 votes. j. T.
Conway of Ration received one vote.
Charles l.. Burt of Mountainair,
superintendent Of the Torrance county
schools, was elected treasurer, re-
ceiving GAL votes.
Mrs. Nina Otero Warren Of Santa
Fe, was elected railroad secretary.
She polled GAL votes, while r. l..
Larkin of Ration polled 3.
w. A. Poore Of Carlsbad was elect
ed member of the executive COM
mittee for a period of three years, his
vote being 943. w. B. Mcfarland
was chosen for a one-year term, re
ceiving 944 votes.
AS there were about 1900 teachers
registered, it will be seen that only
about two-thirds of them voted.
The largest banquet in the history
Of the N. NJ. E. A., was the one held
last night in the Scottisch Rite Cathe-
dral.
Tucumcari had a large delegation
present as well as nearly every teach
er of Quay county was in attendance
and had it not been for outside influ-
ences this city would have won the
1918 convention.

ONE KILLED. TWO INJURED
IN WRECK NEAR AMARILLO

Amarillo, Texas, Nov. 27.-In a rear
end collision of two freight trains on
the Santa Fe, near Amarillo, Monday
morning, one man was killed, one SER
iously injured and one fireman pain
fully injured. The wreck occurred at
$3.50 Monday morning when n local
ran into the rear end of a stock train
standing on the track near the st.
Francis station.
The man killed was a stockman,
who had several cars of cattle in the
train. His name was not learned, but
his home is reported as Wichita, Kas.,
John Woods, jr., another stockman on
the train, had one leg cut off and sus-
tanned other serious injuries. Both
men were riding in the caboose when
the local crashed into the standing
train.
A. d. Curtis, fireman on the local
suffered fractured ankle and other
bruises. He fired his train into Am
arillo after the accident.
The body Of the dead man and the
injured men were brought TO Amarillo
Immediately. The injured men were
rushed to the st. Anthony sanitarium.
The body Of the man killed is being
held for identification and advices. The
trains were eastbound. 1t is believed
that heavy fog was the cause of the
collision.

NEW MEXICO FINAL COUNT
SHOWS DRYS WIN BY l6.5S5

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Nov. 26-Final re-
suits of the election held November 6
were compiled today, following the re-
ceipts by the state canvassing board
of the last official county returns. The
prohibition amendment carried by a
majority of 1855, the tax amendment
was defeated by majority of 10,971,
and the judicial district amendment
lost by a majority of 555S.
This leaves Quay county in the Sth
judicial district and the school will
have plenty of money to work on if
the several districts want it. The big
majority for the drys will evidently
make the state about as bone dry as
il is possible to be, as the officers of
the counties ard state will know the
people or the majority of them are be-
hind them.

j. NJ. Putnam, the grocer, has enter
ed the pay as you go" class and his
store will sell for cash only after the
first of December. In his ad. he fig
ures that he will save his customers
from 20 to 40 per cent on each pur-
chase by dealing in pennies. Not long
ago the banks of several cities were
paying sl.00 for 81 pennies and by so
doing put millions of pennies in cir
culation. The honest customer figures
that he must pay his bill at the end of
each month. If you can loan your
money for ten to twenty per cent each
month it would be good business to
do it, Read the half page ad in an
other column and see what Putnam
has to say. He has made the threat
that if prices will do the trick he will
cut the mail order houses out of any
more orders from Tucumcari. Watch
for additional barrage in the form Of
advertising bombs and here's hoping
he will route the enemy of the local
merchant-the mail order house.

COUNTY AGENT NOTES

II Is very evident to the majority
of farmers and stockmen of Quay
county that the loss caused from the
present existence of predatory ami
mails in this state is very great; and
by the proper methods of attacking
them, and the cooperation of all con-
cerned, such problem can be mas
tered. Now is the time to start this
work.
Allow me to call your attention to
the following editorial clipped from
the "New Mexico Farm Courier"
ut may be surprise to many of
diate loss of meat to the consuming
public because of cattle and sheep
killed by predatory animals amounts
approximately to 100000 pounds an
nually in New Mexico; that if this
annual killing were stopped and the
animals now lost were to mature and
produce, and had the grass to eat that
the prairie dog and rabbit consume,
it would mean 50,000,000 pounds a
year of mutton and beef, in these hard
times. Is not this enough to attract
the attention of all the persons en-
gagged in the conservation of food
stutfs ?"
Lets wake up from this expensive
slumber and create a campaign thru
out the entire state, and once forever
stop feeding lamb chops and veal cut
lets to coyotes, wildcats, and wolves.
All livestock men and farmers who
are now confronted with the present
problems of feeding will be interested
am sure, in the series of experiments
that the State Experiment Station and
College of Agriculture are are now
planning.
There will be an experiment run on
a maintenance ration for range cows
fed on sotol, along with some tumble
weed siage; and another conducted on
lines of Sudan grass, some silage;
silage and cottonseed; cowpeas and fod
der the object of this experiment be-
ing to see how cheaply it is possible
for dry farmer to grow crops and
maintain IA range cow during the win
ter months.
Watch for results, and keep in touch
with your County Agricultural Agents
on the subject.
