SOME GOOD ADVICE

"Don't think too much of your own
methods. Watch other peoples ways
and learn from them" This is good
advice, especially when bilious or
constipated. You will find many peo-
pie who use Chamberlain's Tablets
for these ailments with the best re-
suits, and will do well to follow their
example. Obtainable everywhere.

All you have longed for, all you have seemed;
All you have worshiped, all you have wrought;
All you have tried for all you have sought
That's what Liberty Bond will buy!
Smiles for face that has ceased to smile;
Light for eyes grown tired with tears;
Laughs for lips that have sighed all the while,
And Peace for the world through the coming years
That's what a Liberty Bond will buy!
All you have toiled for all that is yours;
All you have faith in, all that endures;
All you have honored, all you hold dear;
All you should die for, all you
That's what a Liberty Bond will buy!

Justice and Right in lands DER the sea;
Rest for the whe-crossed silent mounds
Flowers for trenches-and a flag for the free

RuWOrs of Political War

From all appearances there is
going to be a battle royal in San
Miguel county this fall. Don
Eugenio Romero, who has held
the position of treasurer for the
past twenty years or more, can
hold on no longer, because under
our constitution all Office holders
are limited to two terms. To
keep the office in the family, and
as one of the sons, Don Sec
undino, wants to be sheriff, Don
CIeofes, another son, who for
some years has been living at
Estancia, Torrance county and
as that county is sure to go
Democratic this fall, has decided
to move here and he will be the
candidate TO succeed his father
as county treasurer. According
to the plan Secundino is to run
for sheriff, Cleofes for treasurer
and Lorenzo for secretary of
state. The Romero family have
held the important offices of the
county for so long that they
have become an institution. Don

HEAVY FIRE LOSS
BY N. M. c.

The N. M. C. store house
which contained also the shol
Offices and books, and the watel
tank at this place were destroyed
by fire Sunday afternoon.
The fire started in the waste ir
the store room and gained head
way with such a rush that only
a desk and table and some pa
pers were saved from the offices
E. l.. Cox and General Man.
ager Ten Eyck were in the
offices when the fire started.
| When they became aware that
something was happening in the
store room and opened the door,
the waste was filling the whole
room with blaze and the whole
interior was burning in an in
credibly short time.
There was quite a strong
breeze from the south which
veered at times to the west, and
the tank being so close was soon
on fire.
For the first time in several
months the fire had been drawn
from the shop furnace for clean
ing the boiler and so there was
no steam. A tank car was
placed and filled with water and
a hose attachment made with |
pipe near the shop, but by that
time the tank had burned |
through in holes and the water
was practically all gone. All
that could be done was to keep
the shop walls and roof wet by
means of ladders and a bucket
brigade. There was some
danger to this building and prob
ably the wetting saved it.
The loss is quite heavy, es-
timated at $1,000. Two cars of
cement had been recently put in
the store house.
There Will be some salvage.
There is insurance to cover
about half the loss.
Before the tank had fallen the
heads of the departments were
0usy getting ready to rebuild it.
There happened to be bridge tim
)ers in the yard that will answer
he purpose, and work on the
;ank is going forward rapidly.
The road will get water from
he Southwestern at Torrance,
md here shift can be made to fill
anks by direct pressure until
he new tank is completed.
The store house and offices
will be rebuilt after the tank is
