September 27, 1918.
Sergeant Frank Haley was born in
America. The Sergeant has a broyue
that came from "Ould Ireland" and
he is proud of it; as proud as he is OF
his six wounds. The Germans ripped
up his back leaving a scar nine inches
long, they shot away his spleen, they
broke his arm and his leg. and they
forced him to undergo four operations
in order to get Strengthened out, nut
the last thing he said to the writer
was, Il will be back here next Spring
and will get n dozen more of these
-Germans."
For eight months in 1917. Haley
fought on the Flanders Front and then
ut the Somme. His regiment, the
Eleventh Engineers was qliartered
with British, Canadian, and Irish
Guards. He loves them all, and says
that these nationalities together with
the Americans, can lick the whole
world, let alone the Germans, and said
he, they can do it in spite of the
presence of the Irish" The Sergeant
tells two good stories. One of how he
was shot mt when he was going back
in an ambulance, and n German flyer
swooped down and riddled it with ma
chine gun. Another of boy who
fought with him, young Edwards. of
Brooklyn, New York, who, surrounded
by Germans lost his gun, but found
spade-with this he killed three Ger
mans, took the gun of one of the dead
men and shot three more Germans.
Haley found the seven bodies the next
morning, bearing tribute to the mag
nifcent bravery of this Yankee boy.
Don't miss seeing and hearing these
American heroes with the Relic train
Friday evening. There will be other
speakers present. Come out.

CONCERT POSTPONED

Uncomfortable circumstances have
made it necessary to postpone the first
Philharmonic concert until Wednes-
day, October 10th, but the second con-
cert will come off according to schedule
on Thursday, October 18th. The kind
ness of Mr.. Hurley has made it pos
sible to use the H-H Treatre Wednes-
day and Thursday of next week. The
well-known publishers, Otto thinner
man q Son of Cincinnati have prom
ised to deliver one thousand copies of
Mr.. Ioering's latest musical compo-
sition. "Liberty's Lullaby" by Monday
and this will be sung by Miss Dillon
Cobb Brown and the chorus, accom-
panied by Mr.. James's Saxophone
Quartet. All the profits from the sale
of this song during next week will be
given to the local Red Cross Society.
Space does not permit of giving all
the names of those taking part in the
two best musical programs ever given
in Tucumcari, hut complete programs
will he on display soon. The musical
director, Rev. Hoering, states that he
has put more real effort into this un-
dertaking than he has ever before put
forth, either in the United States or
Europe. Many think that the combi-
nation ticket for the two concerts
should be at least three dollars. but
the Chamber of Commerce. who with
the Masons, form the ticket selling
committee, has decided to keep the
price down to one dollar, in order that
every patriotic citizen may have an
opportunity to take in the h,g concerts.
Arrangements have been completed to
bring in Viola Wilson Wilson and Chas
Andrews, who will both lpoear on both
nights.

LETTER FROM HENRY HATCHER
France. Aug. 4, 1918

fTHnce, aug. y, lSlo
Dear Sister,
] will try and write you few lines
after 80 long time. Would have
written sooner, but haven't been where
! could write handy, and knew moth
cr would let you know that | was get
ting along all right, and that is about
all we can write. There is lots to
write if we could write it, but fell
low never knows where letter will
wind up. Therefore, we are not per-
mitted to write very much, which is
a good idea.
This is sure one pretty country. hut
everything is pretty badly out OF date;
in fact, they are still using the old
two wheel carts, that you see in pic
lures of things, and places that are
hundred and fifty years old. Stone
houses without any nails in the wool
work. Things look about like I mag
inc they did in the year of one. al
ways thought the u. S. being now
country would be away behind the
times on every thing, but it is just
the other way. We are up-to date, and
every day live | get prouder of the
dear old u. S. A. and also of our boys.
Say, you don't know how to apple
ciate Il true American until you see
them in action and then you will COM
mence to see why America is the coun-
try she is, and never knew what de-
feat was.
Gee! but am proud to be an Amer
lean not hut what other nations are
fine and dandy and doing their bit like
men. Still | don't want to trade our
country for no other and after this
var is over the old u. 3. \. for me.
AS ] have seen all the other countrys
that | care to SEQ. Just one small
bit of the u. s. will be large enough
to see all ] care to see. haven't got
n letter from nobody. so far, so don't
know whether you are well, dead, sick
or what, but well | hope. Guess
viii get some mail before long, hope
so anyway. AS | want to know how
you are getting along. As for me
am doing everything | can which is
not much. and still everything is so
different from what we are used to
that it is quite interesting and | am
glad that | got to come across. as
am trying to do my small bit for our
country and of course want to see ev-
crything that | can for my own per-
sonal amusement.

LETTER FROM FOOD
ADMINISTRATOR
My Dear Mr.. Goldenberg:

My Dear Mr.. Goldenberg:
just in receipt of your letter OF
October Bird, relative to the cash and
carry methods in your town.
In reply beg to state that the Food
Administration at Washington has i'm.
pressed this upon US for many months
past and have been very insistent on
our complying. This system of cash
and carry enables the merchant to sell
the necessities of life at cheaper
price, and in these times of great need
of conservation if citizen is so over
burdened with cash he may hire his
goods delivered. II is a patriotic duty
for any man in these trying times to
take his basket and go to market and
carry his provisions home, unless his
load is so heavy that he needs dray,
and if he needs dray it is his patrl-
otic duty towards conservation to pay
it from his own pocket.
The Food Administration has been
very lenient with the public, and now
that it is in good working order and
has made a success, we see that the
War Industries Board has taken IN
hand the regulation of the price of
shoes and will take in hand the regula-
ton of the price of dry goods, thus en-
abling the poor people to live at the
tremendously increased cost of living
The Government in every line of busi-
ness has advocated the cash and carry
system, even down to Ice.
The people of New Mexico, accord
ing to population, have responded more
To the cause of saving than any state
in the Union and particularly with re-
gard to the amount of flour actually
saved per capita and the amount of
sugar. Our Spanish American friends
have responded nobly and have given
US every assistance that American
people could give. The housewife
realizes that when she does her own
delivering she is releasing some able
bodied boy or man for service either
in the War Industries or in the battle
line, and she can be no greater patriot
in any other line.
The many good things that have
been said by the Food Administration
of the people of New Mexico are GER
tainly gratifying to US all, and thed
Food Administration through Mr..
Hoover personally, at Washington, has
requested this office to thank individual
ly each county food administrator IN
New Mexico, for the great work they
have accomplished. We feel sure that
when the public in general realizes
what great help they are to our Gov
ernment inco nserving labor at this
time, they will gladly increase their
Yours very truly,
II. G. BUSH,
Acting Federal Food Administrator.

This is one of the most important
things we want our children taught in
the rural schools and that is the real
importance of the value of an educa-
ton. Never in the history of the world
has the value of education been so
keenly appreciated as it is today. New
er before has so high premium been
placed upon skill, insight and intel
ligence. Never before has the dyna-
mic force of great ideals been so con-
demonstrated. The large
recognition given by the government
to the educational factor in the war
problem, should be an inspiration to
every teacher in the land. Literally
hundreds of thousands of soldiers and
civilians are today enrolled in special
types Of schools organized by the Gov
ernment. The students army training
corps has brought thousands of young
men under the stimulUuJ of high ed
ucation in preparation for their work
rs soldiers. The boys and girls in
he lower schools may well find in these
facts powerful motive for attacking
and aggressively the work
Of the year. They should see clearly
that il is not courage alone that is go-
ing to save democracy; it is not ma
lerial resources alone. In addition,
here must be knowledge, skill and
light ideals. Every gain that a pupil
makes in these, is gain for the ma
ion. Every good lesson learned, every
fundamental truth mastered, every
needed skill brought closer TO perfec-
ion, every clear insight won by hard,
persistent systematic thinking, is a
itep toward making the world safe
or democracy. The "school Stacker"
$ no patriot.

There have been several deaths re-
ported from influenza, but the under
taker has no knowledge of these deaths
Those knowing Of deaths should re-
port same as it is hard for the county
health authorities to keep track OF
them unless they are informed. One
man who is reported to have died ev-
cry day this week, is still alive. He
has typhoid and has been sick for sew
eral weeks, 1t is thought now he will
recover. There are perhaps one hun
dred cases Of cold, grip and influenza
in Tucumcari, but few of the patients
are down in bed. Reports without any
foundation injure the business of any
town and should not be repeated.

MAYOR JAMES ASKS CITIZENS
no BE CAREFUL AND CLEAN
To the Citizens of Tucumcari:-.

Il
Inc influenza situation in Tucumcari
on this date is in "a way very crafty.
ing, we have something like seventy
cases now with no deaths reported Ia
date. Several new cases are showing
up daily which goes TO show that the
people are not living strictly up to the
rules OF the quarantine. have been
IN communication with the Federal
health officer of this district and he
advises that personal preventation
consists in avoiding of close personal
contact with other persons and avoid
oil the common use of drinking or eat
ing utensils, towels, etc. That the peo-
pie should not be permitted to loiter
IN stores pool hall and other places
reputable or otherwise.
The cases reported in Tucumcari
are all of a light nature owing take
1t to the fact that those who have il
are taking care of themselves by call
ing doctor and staying in bed un-
til the danger is past. The disease to
start with is nothing more than Sc
we're case of what we call the grin.
II II is allowed to run its course il is
likely To develop into influenza and
this in many cases is fatal. All the
advice ! am able to give you aa "A pre-
ventative is that you do not come into
close personal contact with other per-
sons. Do not use public drinking cups
nor towels. See that glasses that you
use at fountains etc, are sterilized
before you use them.
we have a few cases of typhoid fe-
yer in town. These cases as far as |
can learn have been brought in from
outlying districts for treatment. The
typhoid germ originates from filth,
such as open toilets, stagnant water
or rotted offage Of all kinds. Citizens
using open toilets should at once see
that they are put into sanitary con-
dition by the use of unslacked lime.
Yards and alleys should be cleaned of
empty cans and trash of all kinds.
Waste water should not be emptied in
to the back yards. This will breed
flies and flies will transport the germ
of disease to your food and eventually
to your family, and from one house to
Let us all have our back yards clean
ed and burn the trash that will burn
and have all empty cans etc, that will
not burn hauled out of the city limits. |
This may be the means of avoiding u
great deal of sickness in the city.
| hope that the citizens will issist
the authorities in handling the pres
ent situation so that there will be no
deaths in Tucumcari from influenza.
Other towns smaller than Tucumcarl
have had many deaths and cannot
help but think that in many cases it Is
do not believe that
the disease is fatal in this country
e the case is taken care of as it should |
De. II you have a cold and think you
nave the influenza, call a doctor at
lnce, go to bed and do as he tells you.
This may seem unnecessary advice, but
We have families who allow their chill
iren to die without ever calling a doc
