Major McLaren is here this week
from Camp Grace, at Rockford, ILL.,,
where he has been located recently.
He is visiting his parents and children
who are making their home in Tucum-
carl. Major McLaren expects to re-
ceive orders to go to France soon. He
is ready to go and there is no doubt
Of him being able TO handle all the gov

II. s. Chiffon is about the happiest
man in town. He didn't know what
real joy was until the first Of the week
when his wife presented him with n
real live Christmas gift-a little girl.
Jean Marie was born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Chiffon Dec. 90. She weighed eight
pounds and promises TO be a vocalist
of rare talent. She's a mighty fine
little girl and we a prove it by Mr..
Chiffon. Mother and babe are getting
along fine.
The citizens Of Tucumcari enjoyed
many nice Christmas dinners at home
and with friends. They seemed to
forget Hoover for one day at least and
enjoyed real old-fashioned Christmas
chicken and turkey dinners. Now we
are satisfied to fast another 800 days
and hope for the end of war so we
can hasten our death by over-eating.
That's n way of dying that is a real
pleasure-to some. Excuse the edi-
tors; they'll never die that way.
The Christmas holidays have put n
damper on the athletic work Tuesday
and Thursday nights at the High Gym,
but il is expect the usual large turn
out will be had after next Tuesday.
The gym is equipped with more ap-
paratus than most Y. NJ. c. AS and
there are "A number of young men in
Tucumcari that need this exercise. II
will make n real mar out of most OF
you. If you have not yet joined, do
so ut once and have a good time be-
sides it will make you healthier.
The Quay Valley National Farm
Loan Association will extend its linn
its and take in all territory between
there and the county line north Of Tu-
cumcari provided the farmers will do
their part. A number have already
made known their desire to borrow
government money and it seemed that
they were unable to form a district of
themselves. Mr.. McL.aren of Quay
has application blanks and will assist
those desiring to take advantage of
cheap interest on farm loans. If you
are interested address him I. McLaren,
Quay n. NJ.
The Bowen-Boyer Agency has form
ed IA new resolution that should prove
profitable to themselves and those who
take advantage of their special offer,
They propose to take exclusive option
for a limited time to sell your farm,
or your real estate, and promise to
advertise it free to the owner. They
guarantee to sell your property or
they expect no commission. That's
fair enough. Now they have contract
ed for a considerable amount Of space
in the News which has Il wide circula-
ton. Go down and list your property,
The more you list the larger their ad,
That's where we come in, see!
