Ladies and gentlemen, we are as
sembled here today to do honor to
the flag of our country, the stars and
stripes, we'll known to all the peoples
of the world as being the emblem OF
freedom and the champion Of hu-
man rights, the flag of all fagp that
never was unfurled in war except In
the cause of freedom, and never was
unfurled except in victory.
And as We dedicate this emblem
Of our national government to the
cause of right and justice it is with
fervent patriotic pride that we car
say
At thy mandate, heroes assemble,
While liberty's form stands in view
And thy banner makes tyranny trem-
BILE,
The flag of the red, white and blue.
The red being emblematic of cour-
age and resolution, the white of pur-
ity and truth, and the blue Of stead
fast honor and justice, all of which is
an inspiration to the soldier on the
field of battle and terror to the foe.
Nor has it, and all that it implies,
love for any land that knows not to
be free. Ladies and gentlemen it is
our earnest hope, wish and prayer
that in the present world war it will
exemplify the truth of the statement
that right is mighty and will prevail,
and that it will triumphantly wave
over the lands where the tyrants'
voice now rings.
at is with keen pleasure and pa
triotic pride that we unfurl to the
breeze this representative flag Of our
land, it being delight to the eye
and an honor to Ohio City-long, long
may it wave as the cherished symbol
of freedom, and as we enter into this
colossal war by the side of the cntente
allies, we pledge to the world that we
do so with willing hands, stout hearts,
strong resolutions and bulldog ten
acity, knowing no such word as fail,
all of which will ring down the ages
emblaZoned upon the annals of time.
Let US rally round the flag boys. rally
once again, and | suggest that we
form living circle around the flag
staff and sing THE Star Spangled
Banner.
(which was then done as the
red, white and blue fioated from the
top of the high flag pole. After Civ

where they consider the petition de-
fectve or insufficient, they will mail

HEREFORDS BRING IN
THE "KALE" At THE
YEAKLEY SALE MAR. "a

J. b. Yeakley and son were in from
McAlister Wednesday Of this week on
business. Mr.. Yeakley reports good
attendance and most Of those present
were there to buy cattle.
Messrs. Lancaster and Snelson, who
have a nice herd near Plain were in
attendance at the sale and paid top
prices for cows and heifers. The high
est price paid for COW was paid by
them which was $500. They paid
S207.50 for fine yearling heifer. II
is their intention to build up herd
second to none in the county.
r. b. Rogers of Toler, n. NJ, paid
s400 for bull and the next highest
was paid by w. G. Harris Of Texico,
1910 being the price.
The average price paid for the reg
istered bulls was $242. Most of them
were yearings, only two or three be-
ing more than three years old. The
grade bulls averaged 500 each.
Mr.. Yeakley is planning to hold an
other sale sometime during the sum-
mer and will have large list of reg
istered cows and heifers. He esti-
mated the crowd last Wednesday at
the sale at 500 to 600 and he was well
pleased with the work of the auction
GERS. A splendid lunch was served
and those who attended were well
pleased with the treatment received
at the sale.

PLAINS LAND SELLS AT S12.55
AN ACRE AT AUCTION SALE

c. ID. Wright was in from Bard yes
terday and bought 200 acres of land
at auction which was put on the block
by Robt. p. Ervien. Commissioner of
Public Lands, at the Court house. He
paid $3.50 per acre for this land and
there are no improvements upon it.
The highest priced land was bought
by w. II. Williams of near Murdock.
There were $40 acres in this tract and
a syndicate from Colfax county had
a representative bidder here for this
tract of land. 1t lies near the home
of Mr. Williams. between Kirk and
Murdock and is nice piece of ground.
Mr.. Williams was determined to buy
it, even if it had gone higher, but as
it was he paid the top price for land
sold in Quay county during this sale.
He paid s12.55 per acre, which amount
ed to SS,032.0
There were number Of other tracts
sold during the day and those in
charge Of the sale were well pleased
with the results. Land values are
gradually increasing in Quay county
providing the land has road some
where near it. This proves the need
Of roads in this county. There are
farmers arriving every day from the
east who stop off in Tucumcari and
inquire about our land and thn prices
Of same. As most Of the free land
has been filed there is nothing left to
do but buy and some of them would
rather buy than homestead, although
they expect to farm and reside upon
their land.
II has often been said that money
expended for good roads is the best
investment man could make. II
makes his road to market easier to
pull large loads over, it saves horse
flesh, it saves gasoline and tire bills,
it saves time, therefore it is an in
vestment and not luxury or dona-
tion. Make your land more valuable
by building good roads.

SCHOOL ELECTION ON
TUESDAY WAS HOTLY
CONTESTED ALL DAY

The Tucumcari school election was
held Tuesday as per schedule and the
day was one of the wors, ever wit
messed here. The wind started early
in the morning and kept up until late
in the evening. First it came from
the southwest and then a norther was
indulged in.
Six candidates were in the field,
three coming out too late to announce
in the News. There were three to
elect and the last ticket to announce
had splendid organization behind it,
in fact the morning seemingly was
in their favor as cars were hurrying
to and fro. The other side saw its
finish and after dinner few loyal
supporters rallied to the colors and
things commenced to pick up for true.
At six o'clock when the polls closed
there had been about $50 votes cast
and although the result was doubtful
it was not supposed that it would be
so close. Mrs. w. F. Kirby, received
437 votes while Mr.. Kirkpatrick re-
ceived 399, only 38 less than Mrs. Kir-
by. The other four candidate received
totals ranging between Mrs. Kirby and
Mr.. kirkpatrick, so it is easily shown
that the election Of either of the sue
cessful candidates was no walk-away
Mrs. Kirby, c. s. Shaw and VIM.
Troup were elected by small plurali-
ties, the vote being as follows:

SUPT. WAGNER ASKS JUDGES
TO CHOOSE GOOD BOARDS
March 26 1917
MY Dear Judge: :

MY Dear Judge:
"For taxation purposes in school
matters the county has been the unit
in New Mexico since 1915. The Rein
berg bill, known as Senate Bill No.
1853, which unanimously passed both
branches of the last legislature with
the emergency clause, has teen ap-
proved by the governor. 1t is the COM
plement of the county unit law and
makes the county the unit also for ad-
ministration purposes.
"The law provides for the creation
Of county board Of education in each
county Of the state, consisting Of five
members, four of whom shall be ap-
pointed by the district Judge; the fifth
member shall be the county superin-
tendent of schools who shall be ex-
officio president of the board. No
more than two of these appointive
members shall belong to the same pol
itical party, at least one of whom shall
be appointed from each county COM
missioner's district and not more than
one of whom shall be resident OF an
incorporated city, town, or village in
shall be designated by said Judge to
hold Office for term of four years
and two for term Of two years from
and after their appointment and quail
fication. Every two years thereafter
each Of such judges shall appoint two
members to each of said boards to
hold Office for term of four years
and until their successors are appoint
ed and qualified; but in no event shall
more than two members of said board
be appointed from among the residents
Of any one county commissioner dis
trict nor more than one from among
the residents Of an Incorporated city,
town or village.
"This county board Of education will
have general administration. Of the
RURAL schools of the county and in
the school system of the state will
form the link in the organization be-
tween the state board of education and
the school directors. They do not dis
place the district directors, nor do
they perform their functions. These
directors still ok after the details Of
administration, make up the estimates
or budgets for the district contract
with the teacher, subject to the ap-
proval of the county board, and in
other matters act as agents for the
district and the county board of edu-
cation. The county board has no jur-
isdiction over the boards of education
Of municipal school districts.
I'VE believe the Reinberg law to be
good piece of constructive school
legislation, but very much depends on
the personnel of the proposed boards.
We do not presume to advise you in
these premises but we most respect
fully request that you give your best
thought and judgment to the creation
Of these county boards Of education.
Conditions are not identical in the diff
fnrent counties Of our state, and they
may vary considerably in the counties
composing your judicial district. We
expect to have this law printed for
pleased to send you a copy. With the
with your local conditions in mind it
will be our pleasure to be advised Of
your appointments.
with highest regards, am,
