DERRICK UP fIrAOY
TO START DRILLING
SOUTHEAST OF TOWN

Nothing new has developed in the
oil line. The derrick for the McGee
well was finished this week and il is
so large it can be seen for many miles
any direction. II makes everybody feel
hopeful that those back of il will be
successful in striking oil. The drilling
will begin within a few days and the
developments will be watched with
great eagerness, especially by those
who own land and leases in close prox-
unity to the we'll Some of the leases
are selling from $25 up on land within
two miles Of the well, while a number
of deals have been made whereby $40
has been paid for an acre, or $40O for
40 acres for leases on land six miles
from the well.
Teams have been busy the past week
hauling lumber and cement to the new
Rama well site. Three carload of
material have been unloaded at En-
dee for the Rama well. II looks like
business. There is no stock for sale
by the companies putting down these
wells. The hackers believe they are
going to find oil. They have had COM
petent geoioglStS look over the ground
many times, and they have always
made favorable reports.
The other projects in other parts of
the county have made little advance
ment but some of them hope to report
ready for work shortly. With good
crops and plenty of grass together
with oil development it looks like a
banner year for Tucumcari and Quay
county. Many are contemplating the
erection Of houses but there are bat
few carpenters here competent to do
contracting. Keep your eyes open
and watch New Mexico this year.

CHAUTAUQUA A SUCCESS
SIGNED FOR ONE NEXT YEAR

| The Chautauqua closed Saturday
night with the best program of the
week, the Premier Artists, a company
composed of six vocalists Of rare merit
pianist, flute and violinist, nine In
all. The company gave short prelude
to the interesting lecture by Bob Finch
and at night the program seemed but
few minutes when in fact il had ex.
tended two hours. The company was
heartily encored and the big audience
was sorry to have them close the pro-
gram. The singing was as good as
was ever heard in this city, each men,
ber being a real artist.
The lecture Friday afternoon by
DR.. Loveland was said to be the best
of the week, although the house was
composed mostly of ladies and children
when his lecture would have been much
more beneficial to t. men. The lee
ture at night by DR.. Barker on the
subject of "How to Live to be 100
Years Old" was interesting from start
to finish and the strictest attention
was given the speaker. Not single
person in the house who did not want
to learn how to live TO ripe old age,
but DR.. Barker's methods means work
every day and right living all the
time. These few thing signify that
but few people win follow his advice
although all of thew will admit he is
right.
Harold Proctor Thursday night de-
lighted the audience with his excellent
tenor voice, as prelude to DR.. Bar
ker's lecture.
Taken as whole this Chautauqua
program was the best Tucumcari has
ever had. II gave satisfaction as was
proven by the splendid manner in
which the large audience Friday night
responded to the question put by Mr..
Muirhead, "How many want a Chau-
tauqua next year," Nearly everyone
in the audience arose and when cards
were passed in the audience more than
400 tickets were engaged for next
year. A number of the business men
met Saturday and signed the contract
for next year, thus making it possi-
BILE to have another splendid enter
tainment next year.

ON PREPARATIONS
MADE PUBLIC IN PARIS

Paris, May 2l.--The peace confer
ence has made public the text of tn,
German note regarding reparation,
and the reply made by Premier Clem
enceau as president of the confer
ence.
| The German note says in part:
"The obligation to make reparatior
has been accepted by Germany vir,
tue of the note from Secretary Lans
ing, of November 5, 1918, independent
emily Of the question of responsibility
for the war. The German delegation
cannot admit that there could arise
out of "A responsibility incurred by tn,
former German government in regard
to the origin of the world war any
right for the allied and associated
powers to be indemnifed by Germany
for Losses suffered during the war.
THE representatives of the allied
and associated states. have moreover
declared several times that tha Ger
man people should not be held re-
sponsible for the faults committed by
their governments. The German peo
pie have always remained convinced
that this war was for them a defens-
i've war.
"The German delegates also do not
share the views of the allied and as
sociated governments in regard to the
origin Of the war. They cannot con-
slider the former German government
as the party which was solely or
chiefly to blame for the war. The
draft of the treaty contains no facts
N support of this view; no proof on
the subject is furnished therein. The
German delegates therefore beg you to
be so good as to communicate to them
the. report of the commission set up
by the allied and associated govern
ments for the people establishing the
responsibility of the authors of the
war"
The reply of premier Clemenceau
says:
"1n your note you state that Ger
many while accepting in November,
1918, the obligation to make repara-
tion,' did not understand such an ac-
ceptance of mean acceptance of her
responsibility was involved either for
the war or for the acts of the former
German government and that it is
only possible to conceive of such an
obligation if its origin and cause is
the responsibility of the author of the
damage. You add that the German
people would never have undertaken
a war Of aggression.
"Yet in the note from Secretary Of
~. y a
which you approve of and advise in
favor If your contention. it is stated
that the obligation to make reparation
arises out Of Germany's aggression by
land, sea and air."

THEY WANT 1T TO RAIN

Have you heard anybody say they
wished it would rain? Sure they are
saying it every day. They have for
gotten this is a dry climate since so
much rain this spring. The grass is
fine and crops are looking mighty
good and little rain just now would
help things although not entierly nee
essary to keep things growing. This
week Mr.. Flemister brought in sam
pie from his rye field. The stalks were
more than five feet tall with good
heads of grain. He said he had four
acre just like II on his farm east of
town, and could have had more bat
- not plant more.

PRESIDENT INVITES CAPITAL
AND LABOR TO COOPERATE

Significant stress upon labor ques-
tions is laid in President Wilson's mes
sage to congress. The president fvi-
IDENTIFY realizes, as do the rest of rs
that new day is dawning for the
toilers of the world.
What kind of day shall it be ?
Shall it be day of blood and ter
rorism and license? Or shall it be
an orderly day, with justice to all?
The answer is with the people of
the nations speaking through their
lawful representatives in congress,
parliament or whatever they may call
their Legislative bodies.
Here in America, where workers
have a better chance than anywhere
on the globe, we have tasted slightly
of the horrors of Bolshevism. Merely
tasted; but whether or not we must
drain the chalice depends upon our
lawmakers wisdom and foresighted-
ness, as well as upon the good sense
and self-control of American labor.
Not food, but fair dealing, will
forestall Bolshevism, whether here or
abroad. Russian bolshevism was the
IedClion against CLuIiSiH, lcI uS Set
to it that we give our workers no
just cause for such reaction here.
America has already made great
strides in solving her industrial prob
lens. American labor, AS a whole, is
treated well, and, being sane, it does
not incline favorably toward the idea
of Rolshevism.
But there is still room for improve
ment. There remains with many en-
ployers the conception Of labor as a
chattel to be exploited for profit. Cap
ital has not yet fully learned the lesson
that labor is its partner not its slave.
Labor, too, has some lessons to
learn. In its ranks there are still to
be found men who measure the limit
of their demands by what they think
they think is just. The notion of vio-
lence must hc more thoroughly eradi-
Gated. though it has already lost n
great deal of its popularity in this
country.
President Wilson's invitation to
labor and capital to work in closer
cooperation is in reality challenge
a challenge TO their American man.

SEA PLANES MAKING FLIGHT

POnta Del Gada, May ZO.-ileuten-
ant Commander A. c. Read, in COM
mand of the American seaplane NC-4
expects to start for Lisbon at 6 o'clock
tomorrow morning. He hopes to reach
there before dark.
If all is well with The flight, an
overnight stop will be made at Lis
bon and the NC-4 will proceed on the
last lap of the transatlantic journey
for Plymouth, weather permitting.
The NC-4 was overhauled here to-
day and took on full supply of fuel
The NC-l, which was in command
Of Lieutenant Commander Bellinger
sank Off Corvo this afternoon after
the United States destroyer Fairfax
was unable to salvage her. The heavy
seas made towing impossible, and the
destroyer stood by waiting for the
weather to moderate. But the body
of the machine filled with water and
the wings were broken off. This
combined with the weight of the en-
gine caused the plane to settle many
fathoms deep.

TO THOSE WHO DESIRE TO
JOIN THE u. s. ARMY

According to the records of this
Office, you were to report for transpor.
tation to ElPaso some few days ago
and since you have not yet done so,
wish to advise you that tie same op.
portunities are now open to you as
they were at that time.
A drive is now on to secure $4,000
volunteers for service with the Amer
lean Expeditionary Forces in Fra ce
and Germany. Up to date, several
thousand of this number has been Sc
cured, but there is still an opening
for many more. Wouldn't you like to
he in on it? Just think Of the splen-
did opportunities you would have to
see these fore'G1 countries, see how
the people live, work and how their
customs differ from those of our own
country. How about the battle fields
Of France and Belgium, the destroyed
towns, and the ruined churches and
cathedrals? Don't you think that it
all would be worth seeing?
Besides men being wanted for SER
vice with the A. +. f., many others are
wanted for serylce in Panama. Alaska,
Hawaii, and the PHILIPPINES. The op-
portuity 70 visit our foreign posses
sons is now open to everyone, previous
service men and recruits. Is this q
chance to be passed by lightly?
You know what it is at Panama, the
big canal. and the monstrous artillery
that defends it. Thru it pass ships
from all countries of the world. Be-
sides the sights to be seen, the nice,
balmy summerlike climate is not to
be forgotten.

WOULD REPEAL
SODA WATER TAX, ETC

Washington, May 20.-Among spe-
cial war taxes which the president in
his message to congress suggested
should be eliminated are those on soda
water and so-called luxuries,, such as
expensive articles of clothing and per-
sonal equipment; on proprietary me-
dicinal and toilet preparations, and on
such manufacturers products as au-
tomobile trucks and accessories, pianos
sporting goods, candy, cameras, elec-
trio fans, thermos bottles and motor
boats.
Taxes on most of these articles went
into effect May J., and the collection
of them, involving innumerable cases
of making small change, has caused
much complaint from retailers and the
purchasers.

REAL SPORTSM ANSHIP

British praise for the American
achievement of flying to the Azores
and American sympathy for the ILL
luck of the British contestants for the
honor of making the first trans-At-
lantic trip by air are typical Of An
glo-Saxon sportsmanship.
Both nations want the honor of set
ting this milestone in aeronautic his
tory. Both nations are ready to put
forth mighty effort to win the
honors.
But when one rival scores a point,
the other is prompt to give just
praise. On the other hand, when the
contestant for one country suffers
misfortune, the other nation is quick
with its sympathy.
II Is this sportsmanlike attitude
toward life that forms one of the
closest bonds between the two great
Anglo-Saxon countries.
