Motor Minute Men

]. E. Gilstrap has been appoint
ed by Governor Lindsey, as
Captain of the New Mexico
Motor Minute Men" for Mora
County.
The notice of appointment re-
minds the recipient that it was
Automobiles that saved Paris
from Destruction by the Germans
when General Jouffre comman-
thousands of automobiles to take
his army to meet and turn back
the German Horde. The Auto
mobile is one of the great me-
chanical triumverate in this war,
with the Aeroplane and the Sub
marine none of which had been
even dreamed Of in any previous
war IN history.
Fifteen of our citizens respond
ed some time ago to a call for
volunteers with cars in case of
emergency and it is proposed
that these and others be organic
ed and ready in case of emergency
to act quickly and effectively for
public safety in our own com
munity.
Mr.. Gilstrap is especially fitted
for this service having spent
several years in the Regular Army
and knowing what organization
and discipline is. He is taking
the matter up with the other
towns and directing local organi-
cations of Auto owners in all
towns in the county.
A meeting for that purpose is
called for Saturday evening, Sept
18th. at the community Hall, Roy
at which all patriotic citizens are
requested to be present.
In the meantime Mr.. Gilstrap,
will interview those interested
and we believe the movement
may be combined with the
Home Guards if needed in practi
cal home protection and valuable
assistance to the State and ma
ton. No one need close his eyes
to the dangers that may any day
beset Us. Hiding your head like
an ostrich will not lessen the
danger.

to give up the opportunity to

The appointment carries with it
a lot of thankless tasks and much
inconvenience not the least of
which is a monthly. trip to Mora
which costs more than the job
pays.

Gasoline Thieves

Gasoline stealing is the latest
in sneak k-thievery on this mesa
Some one has been stealing the
gasoline from the tanks on the
tractors left in the fields over
night. F. M. Hughes tank WAS
drained last week and G. r.
Alternately found three gallons
stolen from his tank one morning
Plainly someone is joy riding in
a car they can't afford to run and
is cutting down their gasoline
bills. Plans are being laid tn
catch the thief and the first
thing he will get will be a charge
of birdshot in the legs.

Herman Wendland,
Jacobo Rodriguez,
Eulogio Esquibel,
The next 40 percent wiil go
Sept. 10Th. and the balance Oct.
9th.
1t is distressing to see these
boys go but it is a plain duty and
their going means honorable
peace sooner.
1t is desirable that all who re-
main at home see that they are
speeded at parting.
Drs, Brady and Evans, of
Dawson, were on the Polly"

where they will become members
of the medical corps with rank

Frank Lukasek left Tuesday
for Reeding, Oklahoma to visit
his father before his turn comes
to go to the army. He left his
address with the board here SO
they can notify him. Frank is a
naturalized Americon citizen and
we remember one of his reasons
given in his last papers was THAI
he could fight for his country II
necessary. He was born so close
to the line between Bohemia and
Austro-Hungary that he is nut
sure whether he was a Bohemian
or Hungarian.

Postofice Inspector Hood, was
here two days the first of the
week checking up the Roy Office
and seeing why it is not moved
to the new building. He is pro-
testing vigorously against the
delay in getting moved which is
really caused By delay of the
swell new fixtures, We suppose
we will all appreciate it more
when we do get modern accom-
modations. The old axiom :
Mankind is more disposed to
to suffer, while evils are suffer-
able, than to right themselves by
abolishing forms to which they
have been accustomed" never
had better illustration.

Tractor Farmers

The new 1920 Case tractor
for cashier C. L. Justice, of the
Roy Bank arrived Tuesday, was
fitted up at the Anderson shop
and is running in Mr.. Justices
big wheat field getting ready for
a bigger crop next year. 1t is a
dandy little machine and is espec-
tally convenient for belt work
but it will pull a plow too.
We shall see if Mrs. Justice
was only blufing about going
into the field in overalls and driv
ing it.
Fred Meffert's new Avery
Tractor arrived Monday and was
unloaded and set to work Wednes-
day under the direction of
an expert. 1t is just like the
Baum tractor only larger and is a
fine looking outfit and will get a

The boisterous friends of
Postmaster Wm, G. Johnson and
bride met at their home Friday
night and indulged in a loud and
protracted Charivari of the old
fashioned rough-neck kind.
They kept the town awake for
two hours and finally succeeded
in getting their victim out and
sacking him for the price of re-
freshments. Bill has always been
in on such events and he was
only getting what was coming to
him but we hope the practice
will die out as it isn't really re-
fined, dont-ch-know. The pa
tients in the Hospital across the
street consented to stand for the
racket before it started.
