s26O, ,0OO, 900 WAGE INCREASE is
ASKED FOR RAILROAD MEN

Washington, May director Cen
eral McAdoo will announce soon his
decision on recommendation of the
railroad wage commission, which was
said in we'll informed quarters today
to propose an average of 20 per cent
advance in pay for all classes of rail-
road employees. If Mr.. McAdoo follows
the suggestion of the commission, ap-
proximately $26O, ,OOO,O 900 will be added
to the payrolls of the nations rail-
roads.
Strong pressure is said to have been
brought to bear on the director general
to modify some of the commission s
recommendations especially affecting
the four great brotherhoods. Mr.. Nc
Adoo is not bound to follow the ad-
vice of the commission and can in
crease or reduce their recommenda-
tions as he sees fit. The commission
has followed its announced policy of
giving the highest paid unions the low
est rate of advance, holding relief is
needed most by the men who have been
barely making ends meet or perhaps
going in debt on the wages they re-
ceived.

Last Saturday evening at ten O'Clock
there occurred very pretty wedding
of more than usual interest, when Jno.
Edward Wesson and Miss Juanta Fern

of matrimony.

years labor among US as an instructor

Shaft, delighted the guests US he sang
30, Promise Me-" Mrs. Brown then
played Lohengrin's wedding march as
the contracting parties, with measured
tread, were escorted to their station
by the officiating minister. Here the
vows were taken, the ring placed upon
the brides finger, and the words pro-
nCunced that changed the relation of
each to the other, after which the
groom publicly placed his own pecu-
liar seal of approval upon the new COW
enant, and congratulations became the
order.
The groom was arrayed after the
usual manner of grooms, while the
bride wore wedding gown of white
satin covered with white net of sheer
silk. She carried beautiful hoquet
of brides roses and with the bridal
veil framing her countenance-a trif!e
pale, set with lustrous black eyes and
crowned with ebon hair-she made a
picture good to look upon. The guests
were: DR.. and Mrs. Brown and daugh-
ter, Miss Dillon, DR.. and Mrs. j. NJ.

| wick and daughter, Virginia, Mr.. and

"lnasmuch as the war fund of 1917
so generously contributed by the Amer

fare of the men in our military and
naval forces, and for those dependent
upon them, and for the yet more ur-
gent necessities of our allies, military
and civilian, who have long borne the
brunt of war.
And inasmuch as the American Red
Cross has been recognized by law and
international convention as the public
instrumentality for war relief.
And inasmuch as the year of our
I own participation in the war has brot
unprecedented demands upon the pa
triotism and liberalty of our people
and made evident the necessity of con-
centrating the work of relief in one
main organization which can respond
effectively and universally to the needs
of humanity under stress of war.
And, inasmuch as the duration of
the war and the closer and closer CO.
operation of the American Red Cross
with our own army and navy, with the
governments of our allies and with
foreign relief organizations. has re-
suited in the discovery of new oppor-
tunities of helpfulness under conditions
which translate opportunity into duty.
And inasmuch as the American Red
Cross war council and its commission
ers in Europe have faithfully and eco
nomically administered the peoples
trust
Now, therefore, by virtue of my
authority as president of the United
States and president of the United
States and president of the American
Red Cross, /, Woodrow Wilson, do
hereby proclaim the week beginning
May 20, 1918, as Red Cross Week"
during which the people Of the United
States will be called upon again to

County organizer, +. c. Beebe has
worked faithfully for the rast month
in the Liberty Bond campaign and de-
serves much credit fer the successful
showing made by Quay county. Tu-
cumcari subscribed nearly $80,000.00,
her quota being only $72,l50. The
total amount subscribed for Quay coun
ty was $135,5O0, the quota being but
$109,550. This entitled Quay county
and Tucumcari to honor flags which
arrived last week and were put up
with fitting ceremonies Saturday af-
ternoon. Mr.. James and his band have
always been present ready to do their
part without charge other than their
expenses. The best talent of the coun-
ty have given their services free to
speak wherever and whenever possible.
In fact Quay county has done herself
proud. 1t took hundreds of $4,000 sub
scriptions to put the proposition over
and those who helped accomplish tins
seemingly impossible task are proud
of the success.
The several banks of the county did
all they could. The First National of
Nara Visa through the efforts Of the
cashier, Miss Ruth Burns, made most
splendid showing, $l4,250 being sub
scribed through that bank.
The new bank at San Jon is given
credit with more than $500 which
proves that there are few slackers in
that part of the county.
