ADyERTISES THE ROUNDUP

c. s. Shaw knows how to buy ad-
vertising and it does not cost much
time nor money, although it is the
best kind of advertising on the mar
ket today. Here is his scheme:
He purchased a number Of Roundup
remnants and sent them to friends in
the southeastern part of Texas. One
of these friends chanced to be news
paper editor, and the following clip
ping fully explains itself:
"The Record is in receipt of a hand
some pennant from c. S. Shaw, a
brother of city marshal H. W. Shaw,
who was formerly engaged in the bak-
cry business here. The pennant car
ries a picture of hard bucking broncho
and bears the date Of the Cowboys
General Roundup" to be held at Tu-
cumcari, Aug. 2s, 20, and 80. 1t reads
like it will he almost as good as
Turkey Trot."
Mr.. Shaw also enclosed clippings OF
a Chautauqua held at Tucumcari the
past week, that was proving a great
success. The big day of the Chautau-
qua was designated as Bryan day, on
Saturday, May 26, on which day, the
Commoner himself was to have beer
present to get his share of the receipts
of the day-Cuero (Texas) Weekly
Record.

OZARK TRAIL OFFICIALS
CHOOSE ROUTE THRU HERE

The officials of the Ozark Trails ar
rived Tuesday noon from Amarillo.
They were met about fourteen miles
east of Tucumcari by large number
of cars which gradually increased to
sixty-eight before reaching town. The
procession was over three miles long
and shows the interest taken in this
big cross-continent road which is des-
tined to be the most popular of any
from east TO west.
The officials were satisfied that Tu-
cumcari was the city the route must
touch. They already knew about Las
Vegas and that is one of the main
points of interest. They remained in
this city Tuesday night and returned
to Amarillo Wednesday satisfied with
the route il the necessary work is
guaranteed to make it up TO the re-
quirements as set forth by Col. Harvey
and his assistants. All the towns on
the route are glad to help and Tucum-
carl will do her best so there is little
doubt now about the Ozark Trail pass
ing through this city.
Now if the taxpayers will vote the
road bonds Saturday to build county
roads leading to all parts of the county
we will be able to show the Easterner
tourists a good place to locate. The
valuations of land should double with
in a few years and Tucumcari would
become thriving city with more pros
perity, better streets and larger stores
and the railroad company would be
glad to leave it's shops and division
headquarters where they are.
Remember, not one cent of the road
bond money will be spent on the Ozark
Trail from Glenrio to Montoya, but
the commissioners have given their
word and honor that they will spend
it on country roads in all parts Of the
county.
1t has been estimated that about 100
cars will make the trip to Amarillo
to attend the Ozark Trails convention,
and Amarillo is renting tents to care
for the thousands who will be in at
tendance. Those desiring to go from
here are requested to get in touch
with the secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce at Tucumcari so that res
ervations may be made for them in the
tented city. Those desiring to attend
the secretary and engage seats in cars
scheduled to go to Amarillo. This in
formation must be in hands Of Secre-
tary Case before Monday night, June
III.

CITIZENS OF TUCUMCARI THE
RED CROSS NEEDS YOU!

In time of war everyone, who thru
accident Of birth, or thru voluntary
choice, is part of the Nation, must
work, directly or indirectly for the
Country or admit himself a parasite.
We all feel this, and each one is ask
ing himself or herself what sort of
help will the Nation need? What
would ] be able to do? Not every
one can be a soldier or a sailor, and
it is generally recognized that the
work done behind the fighting line al
though less dramatic, is no less es-
sential than that done at the front,
The RED CROSS is the only volun-
teer society authorized by the gov
ernment to render aid, in relief to the

dent of the United States is the head

It is not to be confused with enrolled
for special service, such as nursing
service or Hospital Units which have
special requirements. Comparative
ly few persons can serve the Red
Cross in the field, but all can serve
at home by becoming a member, by
getting his or her friends to join, by
spreading a knowledge of the work
and participating in the local Chapter.
Therefore, the membership committee

last night and it was pointed out to-
day that even the sum Of unofficial
reports of trouble indicate that the
day was more peaceful than most Of
the general elections.
Registration in most of the states
far exceeded all expectations. Re-
turns from the registration Of New
Mexico so far indicates the total will
be about 10000. Aside from the ar
rest of George Lawrence, Socialist,
at Pennington, early Tuesday for his
speaking dsrespectfully of the flag,
and few minor disturbances at other
points, the day apparently was an or
derly and patriotic one.
At Alamogordo the registration was
heavy according to the population, 2l9
names being recorded. About 80 au-
tomobiles took part in the parade,
which was held in the afternoon.

NAVAJO COSTS MAN $50

1t cost II. d. Mallory of Tulia, Tex,
about $50 to take away from the Cen
tral hotel as souvenir" a Navajo
rug. Mallory, who was a guest Of the
hotel last week, left for Texas with
party of men from the Lone Star
State sometime Friday. 1t was no.
ticed shortly afterwards that an Indian
rug had disappeared, and it was sus-
pected some of the Texans had taken
it. Chief of Police Ben Coles was
notified, and got in touch with santa
Rosa officers, who stopped the party
and found the rug. Richard Smith,
who is a deputy sheriff, brought the
Texans back to Las Vegas, and, this
morning in Justice Stewards court,
Mallory pleaded guilty to taking the
rug. He was fined $50 and costs
Judge Stewart told the party it would
have been much cheaper to have pur'
chased a rug and they agreed with his
belief.-Monday's Las Vegas Optic.

another aft She flew no flag.
"Upon sight of the submarine the
steamer hoisted the American flag and
waited for about ten minutes. As the
submarine approached the steamer

The steamer kept a speed that would
permit the submarine to come within
range. Then followed a fight lasting
for an hour and half. The sub
marine came to a distance of about
23OO yards. BY that time the sub
marine had fired 35 shots and the
