IN AMERICA MADE
THE WONDER MAN

The wonder man of the world is the
American soldier. Everywhere he goes
he is looked on with wondrous admira-
ton. The most impressive thing about
HMM the eyes of the European-is
his physique. Europe never saw such
splendid specimens of manhood. Tall
clean of limb, of cut, of chin, he walks
through France toward Berlin in i'm
pressive majcsty-outclassing the SOL
diers of other lands in every physical
way.
The reason?
You might have guessed it-ath-
letics!
The American soldier owes his su-
perior manhood to the sports and the
games of America. Base ball, football,
tennis, golf, boxing, and all the other
mind and muscle builders, both in and
out of doors, deserve their share of
credit in the production of the ideal.
Didn't the American athletics sur
pass the world in each Olympiad in
which they competed? War is an
organized form of athletics; and, as
the American athletes proved their
class in the past, is it any wonder
that the American soldier is wondered
at today?

SOLDIERS REST ROOM TO BE
OPENED IN CURREN BUILDING

Rooms have been secured in the
Curren building, next door east of the
American Furniture Co., and within
the next few days the Rest Room for

that the men passing through may
have place to rest and enjoy taste
of near home life.
The committee in charge of these
rooms is asking for donations of GER
tain articles to be used in furnishing
these rooms. Tables and chairs, cur
tains, shades, towels. heating stove,
u coffee urn, musical instrument,
either piano or Victrola will be ac-
ceptable. Anyone having anything to
offer will please phone Mrs. Kirby
(Phone 205) during the morning hours
and she will make note of the fact
that you desire to help.
Tucumcari has been n little slow in
regard to this move so those who de-
sire to help should not put the matter
off. 1t is the duty of everyone to do
something to make the boys happy.
If you can't give something there is
something else you can do.

MAN SAVES NO. l
FROM BEING WRECKED

The rain Sunday evening washed
out string of track near the Finegan
ranch about ten miles west of Tucum-
carl which came near causing a bad
wreck. II must have been caused by
n cloud-burst as the track has never
been damaged at this particular place
before, but the section foreman sent
n track walker out ever the track and
he had just reached this place few
minutes before No. /, the west-bound
passenger train, was due. The en-
ployee started east past the washout
when he sighted No. coming at a
high rate of speed. His lantern made
one turn and the light went out, but
Engineer Gibson was on the lookout
and seeing the signal, put on the brake
and stopped his engine within forty
feet of the washout.
Passengers were thrown from their
seats so sudden was the stop but they
gladly forgave the engineer when they
learned the cause.
Traffic was delayed about twelve
hours but the track has been repaired
and is perfectly safe until another big
rain puts it out of commission.

BIG RAIN BREAKS DROUTH

The copious rains of the past few
days have broken the drought, which
threatened to be serious in all sections
of Quay county this winter. The wa
ter supply in most of the county was
low. Farmers on the plains are now
planning wheat crop for next year.
The ground is moist down about one
foot and still going down. This prac-
tically insures a good season for next
years wheat crop and the farmers are
jubilant over prospects.
Another good effect the rains are
hoped to bring is the aid they will
render In checking the influenza epi-
demic. Doctors state that the change
will aid materially in stopping the
ravages of this disease.

TO CONTINUE AGRC. AGENT


A committee from the Chamber of
Commerce appeared before the Board
of County Commissioners at their
meeting last Saturday and presented
reasons and arguments why the office
of county agricultural agent should be
retained. The commissioners, at a
previous meeting, had voted to dis
continue the Office after January 1st.
Certain facts and figures with ref
ereHce to the work of that office dur
ing the past year were presented by
Secretary Clayton. w. A. Foyil show
ed the amount that had been saved
to the farmers on wheat seed, and the
government seed loans during the pres
ent season, by the employment of a
county agricultural agent. S. M.
Wharton, secretary of the county coun-
Gil of defense, spoke on the work be-
ing done by county agricultural agent
in connection with United States Bio
logical Survey, regarding the destruc-
ton and eradication Of prairie dogs
and other animals detrimental to the
farm and live stock interests in this
section. Herman Gerhardt and j. +.
Whitmore also made short talks re-
garding benefits to be derived by hav-
ing an agricultural agent in the coun-
ty, who may advise at all times on
matters affecting the rural interests.
The personel of the Chamber Of
Commerce committee having the mat
ter in charge were j. f. Clayton, s.
M. Wharton, w. A. Foyil, J. +. Whit
more and Herman Gerhardt.
A telegram and letter were filed by
Secretary Clayton with the Commits
sioner from State Council of Defense
urging the continuance Of the Office
as a war measure. A telegram along
the same lines was also received by
the Chamber Of Commerce from U. s.
Secretary of Agriculture, d. T. Hou.-
ton, but the later telegram was receiv-
ed too late to file.
After taking the matter under ad-
visement and giving the matter care
full consideration, the commissioners
voted to continue the county agricul-
tural agent for another year and made
n levy therefor accordingly.
