Save by Burning Wood.

As an instance Of how coal can be
saved by the burning OF wood, the
United States department of ngrlcul-
ture has cited figures for II northern
and eastern states with a rural popu-
latton of about 20,0O0,O00 VIII m, It is
estimated, uses annually about 49,
100000 tons OF coal. II Is figured that
the substitution Of wood for one
fourth Of the coal burned by farmers
and for one-tenth OF the coal burned
In villages would result In n saving OF
nearly 100000 tons, or between 85.-
900 and 10000 carloads.
Il Is where t%eam-hauled wood can be
used instead OF rnllroad-hauled coal
that the change of fuel should be
made. while It is not expected that

OFFICERS ARE INSTRUt TED TO
SHOOT TIRES OFF CARS

Chief of Police Taylor got the
disgust this week over the way which
otherwise law-ahiding citizens appear
to laugh at repeated statements about
enforcing ordinances against speed
ing. and gave all his men the follow
ing instructions:
From this time out. when speed
er drives away from you. draw out
your pistol and shoot the tires off the
car: ! am tired of these speed de
mons overrunning the city. and
mean business. The law gives you
the right to stop autos when they are
speeding. and If the driver will not
heed your command to halt. shoot the
tires; that will teach them lesson.
Yesterday some reckless drivers al
most killed several children. and
am getting tired of the lives of our
citizens being endangered by this
reckless driving. 1t must he stop
ped"
1t appears that secvral people ar"
flagrantly guilty of violating every
traffic ordinance on the books. and
when accosted by Officers have laugh
ed at them and specded mp and gon"

The Forward Tucumcari" move
ment is becoming contagious. A few
weeks ago Mr.. Kirkpatrick, a repre-
sentative of the Town Development Co.
with headquarters in New York, came
to Tucumcari at the request Of the To-
cal Chamber of Commerce. He said
nothing but began studying the needs
and the possibilities of Tucumcari. 1t
did not take him long to see the ad-
vantages Of this thriving little city
and began work putting out letters
and literature in order to educate us
to the fact that if we would work and
work together much good would be
accomplished.

was served at the+ Vorenberg Hotel to

ness men of the city. After the inner
man was filled with a most excellent
repast Mr.. Kirkpatrick was introduc-
ed by President Muirhead and for more
than an hour he told facts and figures
which were new to many. He told of
possibilities we had hardly dreamed OF
and his address went deep into the
heart Of Tucumcari. Nearly all who
heard him were impressed as never
before and signed up to do personal
service next Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday.
Tucumcari should profit by towns in
the eastern states. Some Of them have
practically been dead for many years
until the younger generations instilI
new life and vigor into public affair:
by means Of establishing real live com
mercial clubs. They do not figure tn,
outlay of money as a gift to anyone
but as an investment pure and simple

Secretary McAdoo seems to be anx-
ious to let it be known that the rail
road organizations did all possible to
expect Of them before being taken
over by the government, which is very
probably true, because the first thing
the government did was to get rid
of all the laws complained of by the
railroads as hampering their general
efficiency. 1t is a pleasure to note
that the western railroads, although
taken over with the others, had no
freight congestions 70 explain, but
were getting their business over their
lines. The Tucumcari road, the 4. p.

never delaying Il pound of freight in
any direction, having prepared for the
expected demands of the government,
and having efficient men in all de-
partments.
