THREE BUSINESS
MEN ANNOUNCE
FOR DIRECTORS

After being solicited, urged and fl
nally drafted, Messrs. VIM. Troup, Ell
mer Edwards and w. l.. Kirkpatrick,
three well-known business men of this
city, have consented to allow their
names placed before the voters next
Tuesday at the annual school election.
Neither of these gentlemen seek the
office of school director, but through
patriotism and their desire to see the
public schools continue in progress,
they will give their time to the public
without pay for their services.
The Office of school director is a
thank!ess job in many respects but
the majority of our best citizenship
will stand by any board that will do
its best when matters of grave i'm
portance threatens to destroy the USE
fulnt SIS of this worthy body. There
is no community where the board has
pleased each individual. The matter
Of choosing teachers is not love or
family affair if the good of our schools
are taken into consideration. Merit
first, beauty is only skin deep. The
work in the Tucumcari schools requires
the best teachers available. The first
asset is a first-grade certificate, the
next is the holders ability to explain
their knowledge so others may learn
and another is whether the teacher
expects to give full value for that
which she receives.
Two old members, Messrs. Stark
and Putnam, hold over and with the
three men selected, or rather drafted,
by the citizenship after much consul
tation, Tucumcari will have a toard
of directors with the ability to ac-
complish much and attend to the busi-
ness in business-like manner.
With no other ticket in the field
these men are practically elected. hut
there is no telling what will happen
before next Tuesday. Every man and
woman in School district No. |, is ap-
pointed as committee of one to see
that every vote is registered in the
election Tuesday. Vote for Troup,
Edwards and Kirkpatrick and there
by show them you are interested il,
electing good men for this important
position. They are not tied to any
man = set Of men, they have no die
tator, they will have free arm and
knowing their responsibility as they
do, the people of Tucumcari will make
no mistake in making them the unan-
imous choice for school directors.
Don't forget, its your duty to vote
and vote for men who stand for some-
thing, morally. educationally and fully
possessed of business ability.

IMPORTANT RULING ON BUY.
ING RELINQUISHMENT

Mr.. J. D. Cutlip, Tucumcari, N. NJ.
My dear Sir:
In reply to your letter of March 6,
1917, you are advised that while there
is no objection offered to the purchase
of a REIMBURSEMENT, no preference
right Of entry is acquired under such
a purchase, as relinquishments run TO
the United States alone. 1t would be
well, before purchasing u relinquish-
ment with the intention of applying
for the land under the stock-raising
act, to ascertain whether any adjoin-
ing entryman is entitled to prefer
ence right under said act, as explained
in paragraph l3 of the inclosed Cir
cular 523. However, a successful con-
testant of homestead entry would be
accorded a preference right to enter
the land, Notwithstanding the fact that
an adjoining homesteader may be quail
flied to make entry therefor. Where
an additional entry under the GAO acre
act is made for land within twenty
miles of that embraced in an original.
perfected entry, it is immaterial wheth
er the entryman resides upon or owns
the land first entered, but he would he
required to reside upon the additional
entry for three years.
Very respectfully,
c. M. BRUCE,
Assistant Commissioner.
