THE CHAU.
TAUQUA FAVOR|TE, TO
Be HERE THURSDAY

Thos. Brookes Fletcher, the Star at
traction on the High School Lyceum
Course will lecture in the High School
Gymnasium on Thursday evening,
April Is. This number is conceded to
be by far the strongest on the entire
course, and is anticipated with more
than the usual amount of interest.
Fletcher is well and favorably known
to the people of Tucumcari and vi
cinity having appeared here on two
previous occasions, last summer on the
Chautauqua program and four years
ago on the High School Lyceum
Course. He numbers among his ad-
mirers every man and woman who has
ever heard him speak, and these are
the people who most want to hear
him again.
To those who have never heard
Fletcher speak. you will miss mes
sage of uncommon common sense de-
livered as only u real orator can de-
liver it if you not hear him here.
We know this lecturer and have abso
lutte faith in Fletchers ability to please
every person in his audience. In fact,
it would be mere waste of words to
say that we will refund the price of
admission to anyone who does not get
a dollars worth of wholesome good
from his address. However, if you are
not satisfied we will cheerfully refund
the price of admission.
We want you to plan now, put away
the price of admission today as re-
minder, to hear him. We want you to
think and talk Fletcher-expect some
thing out of the ordinary and then
come up Thursday evening prepared TO
, receive it. Set your mark at your own
heighth and he will more than attain
| it,
The price of admission is the most
reasonable we can possibly offer for
an attraction costing so much, single
admission tickets will be on sale for
only one dollar and every seat in the
house is good one. There will be
fifty seats at seventy-five cents each
but these will be fair seats only and
will be sold at the door. BE safe, and
buy your ticket early.

Tucumcari News,
Dear Sirs:
After negotiations covering u per-
iod Of some six months we have been
able to arrange through the courtesy
of the National Anti-Saloon League
for the coming of Captain Richmond
r. Hobson, to New Mexico, for SER
les of addresses for the purpose of
crystalizing interest in favor of ma
tional ratification of our prohibition
amendment and the centering of the
interest Of our people in the election
of such Legislators this fall, as will
give US strong laws for the enforce
ment of our state wide amendment.
Captain Hobson comes to your city
for the night of Friday. April 26. All
expenses connected with the rally will
be paid for through this office by the
Treas irer of the National Anti-Sa-
loon League, so that your local com
mittee will not be called in any way
to incur any financial responsibility.
The only mention of finance made in
this whole campaign will be the oppor-
Nti'Ns 'NNtilhlllE AT Nllt NlONt VI lHc
meeting through the passing of cards
that the people may make voluntary
subscription for the purpose of sup
porting the national campaign.
Captain Hobson's tour of the prin-
cipal cities will be Immediately follow
ed by other speakers covering every
town in the state. Captain Hobson
only speaks in eleven cities, so you
will see that we have paid your COM
munity great compliment in sending
him to you. We urge IN appreciation
of the fact that this is the greatest
public speaker that has ever toured
our state in the interest of this great
cause, that our friends see to it that
no other meetings conflict with this
date and that every possible local re-
source be used to give Captain Hob
son the largest hearing that any pub
lie speaker has ever had in your city.

gether with the local band and about
fifty enthusiasts opened the county
campaign at Quay Tuesday night in
the interest Of the Third Liberty Loan.
T. A. Muirhead was the speaker of
the evening and he did himself proud.
He does not claim to be Il speaker but
the spirit seems to move Mr.. Muirhead
at the right time. He says the right
thing at the right time. lie is an
earnest supporter of the government,
100 per cent American and will do
anything any time of the day or night
to further the cause of Democracy and
help stamp kaiserism from the face
of the earth. His address was heartily
applauded.

and if they had their new uniforms
you wouldn't know that they had only
been practicing few months. They
are not stingy with their music. Mr.
James enjoys playing and more es-
pecially when il is for a good cause
like the Third Liberty Loan campaign
About the first question he will ask
a new applicant to join the band is if
he is 100 per cent American?
There were number of men and
women in the delegation to Quay, and
they were greeted by large crowd
from the Quay neighborhood who ex-
pressed its appreciation and enthus-
iasm by its hearty applause of the
band numbers and the remarks made
by Mr.. Muirhead.

LIBERTY LOAN RALLY
FRIDAY BRINGS OUT
A PATRIOTIC CROWD

The Liberty Loan Rally and band
concert given down town corner Main
and Second SITS. last Friday night, was
attended by II large crowd of patriotic
citizens. The band played number
of interesting selections after which
Mr.. Muirhead, chairman of the speak
ers committee, introduced Myron Il.
keator as the first speaker of the ev
ening. Mr.. Keator made an eloquent
and earnest talk using plain language
to drive home the reason why every
man, woman or child that can possibly
afford bond, should own one. He had
not been given sufficient time to pre-
pare u lengthy speech, but his efforts
were appreciated.
The Girls Glee Club of the High
School gave few pleasing selections
and the band again livened up the
crowd with IA few new numbers. Then
Harry II. McElroy spoke in his usual
convincing manner putting the ques-
tion up to the people whether they
would rather pay willingly to Uncle
Sam or pay unwillingly to the Kaiser
and his gang of baby killers, virtue
destroyers, and war-mad murderers.
Its either one or the other we must
pay so Mr.. McElroy put the question
so plainly it went deep into the hearts
of his hearers and they will double
their subscriptions to the third Lib
erty Bond if possible to do so. He al
so spoke along the food conservation
line and told the people why the should
eat more substitutes and less flour,
so that the boys in the trenches should
not g hungry while fighting our bat
ties in the front-line trenches in Il far
of country in France. He told about
the safe investment for any person
having money to loan, combining duty
with good business.
When the people get tired Of Lib
erty bonds the government will have
to take our money by taxation. We
are in the war to win. II takes money
men and ammunition. II takes brains
energy and patriotism. That is why
the citizens of this great country are
bound to win in the end. There is ne
country on earth that can come sc
near supporting itself. We have al
kinds of attitudes, climates and oul
fertile soil will grow anything. There
is one thing we must stand united up
on now and that is to help our boys
win the war. We must save, produce
and see that our boys are fed thu
best it is possible to give them.
Lieutenant Gregory who is mem
ber of the State Board who will con
