it Is not in many cases, but it is a
test of usefulness, and desirability
and those who came over here by the
millions before the war stopped them,
have not proven to be either desirable
or useful citizens as they will not
till the soil, but hover around the big
cities and push banana carts, or sim
liar work, and many Of them push a
street organ and beg for n living. The
larger states r spending over 20
million dollars each year on insane
asylums and poor houses in which to
care for these ignorant immigrants.
Let some other country act as their
dumping ground, we have had enough
of it. The kind of men America needs
most are those who can read and look
after business for themselves. men
who will know what our government
to them and their families, men
who will till the soil and make this
country bigger and better in every
way possible, good loyal Americans
whether they were born in Japan or
Hong Kong.
South America. Australia, and the
new fields in South Africa, offer many
opportunities for ~homeseekers, and the
worthy illiterate need not despair be-
cause we have shut the door against
him. When we shall have thoroughly
A~mericanized and assimilated those
we now have, we can again open the

LEGITIMATE MINING

There are mining experts and geol-

Some have come and gone unannounc.

Tucumcari and vicinity. The big oil
companies have had men exploring
u county, most of whom have gotten
by without letting themselves be sus.
picioned of securing data and other
necessary logs" of our country.
One of the Standard oil company's
biologists passed through here some.
time ago and took special notice to
the lay of the land about the hills and
small mountains a few miles from or!
city. He had dealing with a special
friend in Amarillo shortly after his
visit here and his report was mos,
favorable to the point of looking like
flattery. He said some day Quay
county would have the largest and
best producing oil well in the world.
Judge Hardwood of Amarillo was
the man who was informed of this
great wealth and while enjoying a nice
law practice in Amarillo he felt that
earning money in that manner was
too slow for a man Of his age and ey.
