RAIN AND SNOW
81. OVER THE SOUTHWEST
Generous Fall of Moisture Is Great
For the Late Sown
Wheat.

Western Kansas never had better
prospects for a bumper wheat crop at
this time of year. The early sown
wheat has looked fine all along, but
that which was sdwn late was the
subject of much discussion. Only a
wet season in the fall or early winter
will make the late crop and moisture
was anxiously awaited.
The first came last Thursday night
"a little shower which helped lit
tie. Then Tuesday night there was
a fall of six or eight inches of the
wettest snow imaginable. And to
make the measure full snow fell most
of Wednesday night, turning to rain
before morning which lasted all day
Thursday and is still falling as the
paper. goes to press. & ~
The streets and roads are a sight
to behold, and business has slowed
down something awful, but the mer-
chants are smiling almost as broadly
as the farmers for unless history fails
to repeat, this section will be rolling
in wealth next harvest when the train
loads of two-dollar wheat start for
the markets.

CECIL c. GRIFFITH
DIED AT ATCHISON
Brother of w. v. Griffith a Victim of
Pneumonia.-Interm at
Coldwater, Kansas.

A message was received here Tues
day morning bearing the sad intelli-
gence of the death of Cecil G. Griffith,
a brother of W. V. Griffith, at Atchi-
son, Kansas.
Mr.. Griffith was for six years
resident of Plains, Kansas, where he
was manager of the Nicholson drug
store, going from there to Great Bend
and lateg to Atchison.
During his residence at Plains he
made frequent visits here and made
many warm friends who will be
grieved to learn of his death.
He suffered an attack of influenza
but it was thought that he had re-
covered, and had returned to his
work when he suffered relapse from
which he could not rally. His broth
er, W. V. Griffith, was called to his
bedside about ten days ago and he
has been in a critical condition ever
since, and he passed away Tuesday
morning, December II.
Cecil C. Griffith was 26 years of
age, and was born and reared at Cold
water, Kansas, where his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. ]. M. Griffith still reside.
He was a congenial, likeable gen.
tleman, honest and upright, faithful
friend and kind and indulgent hus-
band and father. He was a member
of the Masonic fraternity.
The remains were taken to the old
home at Coldwater, where interment
was made.
He leaves to mourn his passing
wife and little daughter, his parents,
two sisters, Miss Marie Griffith and
Mrs. Clayton Malone, of Coldwater,
and two brothers, W. V. Griffith of
Liberal and Lewis Griffith of Cold
water.

FOR HIGHWAY
FROM FUNSTON TO Ell PASO
Convention Being Held at Tucumcari
to Formulate Plans.-Liberal
Represented.

The Liberal Chamber of Commerce
has received telegram from the
Chamber of Commerce at Tucumcari,
New Mexico, asking that representa-
tives be sent to a Good Roads Con-
ference to be held at that place on
December 20 at which time plans
will be formulated for securing the
Funston National Highway, running
from Camp Funston, Kansas, to Ell
Paso, Texas.
President H. w. Magruder of the
Liberal Chamber of Commerce will
attend the conference.
So far as plans have gone it is ex-
pected to have the highway follow
the Rock Island railroad and if this
plan is followed Liberal is going to
be greatly benefited.
1t is more than likely that the en-
tire distance will be paved, especial
ly if the Government gets back of the
project which the conference will en-
deavOr to have come to pass.
Mr.. Magruder is well informed on
the good roads situation, having at
tended all the principal road meetings
held in this part of the country, and
when he returns he will no doubt
have a fund of information on the
subject.
While there is chance of getting
this road we should be alive to the
opportunity and work it for all it is
worth.

FLU is INCREASING;
QUARANTINE RESUMED
All Public Gatherings Called Off,
Schools, Churches, Shows Will
lt.. . - Be Closed.

The flu situation is far from salts
factory, according to DR.. Geo. S.
Smith of the County Board of Health.
Mr.. Smith says more cases were re-
ported Wednesday and today than
for over a week past, and in the face
of the increase it was deemed ad-
visable to again put the closing or
der into effect.
The new order goes into effect Sat
urday evening at 6o'clock, andre
mains in force two weeks, by which
time it is hoped the disease will have
abated sufficiently to allow things to
proceed along normal lines.
The order relates to the schools,
churches, pool halls, public and pri-
vate dances, lodges and all public
gatherings of any nature. .-.
The picture shows will run Satur-
day night until midnight, but children
under sixteen years old will be
barred. After the Saturday night
show there will be no more until the
order express ....... .-t.
An order not heretofore in, effect
but which has been observed in other
towns, is the closing of the postoffice
lobby during the time the mail is, be-
ing distributed. As a usual thing a
large crowd congregates during this
time and offers a good opportunity of
spreading contagiop. Therefore. the
door will be locked until all mail is
distributed when it will be opened
and only limited number will be
allowed to enter at one time. If
necessary, a special officer will be
placed at the door to enforce this
regulation. Persons who go to the
office for their mail should wait a
sufficient time after the office closes
before going.
The Health Board asks the hearty
cooperation of the public in the OBJ
servance of the closing order.

The Red Cross Christmas seals are
not being sold this year, but with
every membership ten seals are Civ
en-.
At last reports there had only been
a little over $400 taken in, so there
are lot who have not yet taken

Don't wait-call on Millman today
and get in on this great Roll Call.

goodwill and don't wait for some
busy man or woman to "talk you out"

CHRISTMAS ROLL CALL
NOT MEETING RESPONSE
Sickness and Bad Weather Make Can.
vass For Members Out of
The Question

The Christmas Roll Call, the Red
Cross membership campaign, is not
progressing satisfactory.
The unusual amount of sickness,
together with the bad weather, has
made a house to house canvass i'm
possible, so about all that has come in
has been voluntary memberships and
what were secured at the booth in the
postoffice.
1t is simply going to be up to every
person to appoint himself or herself
a committee of one to get members
and start in his or her own family.
Surely there should be no need of
urging or arguing in this matter
The work which has been done by the
Red Cross has been of such charac-
ter as to merit the hearty support of
everyone, and just because someone
does not come and ask you for your
dollar you have no valid license for
not getting in on this Roll Call. 1t is
as much your duty to join voluntarily
as it is the duty of someone else to
hunt you up and ask you, so we trust
that by the time the next paper comes
out all will have availed themselves
of this opportunity to help the Red
Cross.
All yearly memberships expire at
Christmas time and unless you take
out a new membership you are not
entitled to a Red Cross button.
This is probably the last call the
organization will make for funds, so
everyone should dig up that dollar
and join.
Leave your dollar with Ray Mill

CURTIS AGAIN ENGAGES
IN UNDERTAKING BUSINESS
Buys Interest of V. A. Clark in Lib
eral Undertaking Company.

David Curtis this week purchased
the interest of V. A. Clark in the Lib
eral Undertaking Company and will
have part in the management of the
business. ....
Guy P. Belford the other member
of the firm will remain with Mr..
Curtis.
Mr.. Clark has not made known his
plans for the future, but we hope he
decides to remain here.
Mr.. Curtis is an old-timer in the
business here and Mr.. Belford has
been here couple of years, so there
is no need for introductions on be-
half of either.
The business of the firm will be
conducted on the highest possible
plane, and Belford and Curtis are
fully competent to do so.

for the offices in New Mexico, &C
cording to indications
The young Republicans are said to
have plans already laid for getting
into the saddle over the heads Of the
old time bosses at the summer con-
vention and putting out a ticket Of
youthful material for the approval
Of the voters.
The young Democrats, too, are
planning to put out ticket Of young
men. it is said, so the battle may be
between the youthful element in each
party.
Rumor has it that Tom Hughes, at
present warden Of the state peniuen-
tiary, viii be the gubernatiOnal nOmi-
nee Of the Republicans if the youthful
element can control, although there is
talk Of Ed Otero, a nephew Of the
late Solomon Luna, for the governor
ship and also for congress
The present governor, ". T. Lind
sey, is looked upon by many as g
candidate to succeed himself and may,
with the support of some OF the
younger element backed by the old
heads, land the nomination If he goes
after it

cludes besides Hughes for governor,
a lot Of other youngsters Of influence.
Lorenzo Delgado, Of San Miguel. is
mentioned on the slate for lieutenant
governor: Ed COard. present secre-
Cary of the corporation commission,
for corporation cmmissiner, and
Theodore Rouault. jr- present game
ard fish warden, for state land COM
missioner. Rouault, being a Las
Cruces man. would give the southern
part Of the state representation and
he has made a splendid record in the
office Of fish and game warden
If senator a. 3. Fail is not a candi-
date for reelection, ii is said that
judge Hallett Reynolds Of Santa Fe,
son OF Joshua Reynolds, and brother
Of Mrs. James G. McNary. Of FL Paso,
viii be the unanimous choice Of the
Republicans. Some do not believe
judge FAN will run again: some have
brought back reports from Washing

receive neaFy vote even IN those
counties which have hitherto been
considered as Hudspeth strongholds.
These messages Of announcement
are not coming from one, two or three
voters but actually from scores Of
men and women who say that Cobb
stands for those principles for which
the people Of Texas have been fight
ing for years and they add that the
time has come when the western cOun-
ties Of the state should be represented
in congress by a man who is known to
be right upon those principles.

Is STRONG FOR COBB.

Rankin, Texas, April S.
Editor FL PasO Herald:
I wish to say that am acutely
interested in the success OF Mr.. Cobb
in the race for congress and have
been writing many letters to friends
in various parts OF the big district.
I have the honor Of a personal ac-
workmanship with both the candi-
dates for congress and know whereof
I speak when I say Cobb should be
elected by a large majority.
/ have been confident all along that
Mr. Cobb would accept the nomina-
ton or rather the call Of the voters
to become a candidate, but I was
much gratified when he formally &C
cepted-
would suggest a very free distri-
button OF judge Isaacks letter to Jack
Love. Of PecOs; II is absolutely con-
elusive and unanswerable and at the
same time very courteous to Nj.
Hudspeth. Then let Cobb thrill his
audiences with patriotic illusions to
president Wilson and the great OBJ
jects Of the war.
I viii write Mr.. Cobb and viii try
to meet him at some Of his speaking
points.
I have the women all interested in
the wOmen's candidate, and have re-
quested them TO be guided by the
advice and action Of the wOmen's
clubs and societies in FL Paso who
are qualified TO advise them on &C
count Of their intimate Acquaintance
ship with the candidates.
I VIII take occasion to thank you
for the courtesy to me. it was a great
service. I refer to a time two years
ago when I was a victim Of the Bo-
QuiIles raid and you put my son, who
was a student at the New Mexico A
& ". college, in direct communication
with your office and thereby gave
him the first news OF my safety when
members Of my family all over Texas
and New Mexico were in a perfect
panic on account OF exaggerated ac-
counts Of the seriousness OF my
danger.
Yours truly,
