NEXT BIG OIL FIELD

II there is no oil In New Mexico, a
lot Of money is going to be lost In try
ing for IL. However, 1t seems that geo
ologists and practical oil developers
are pretty well satisfied that the oil
is here and that IL is just a matter Of
locating the Dig pools. News OF the
strike at Tucumcari has increased ac-
tivity in leases and drilling Is going on
with renewed hope and vigor. New
Mexico as the next big oil field seems
TO have gotten a big hold on public
imagination.
Meanwhile there Is lots OF talk but
very little In the way Of actual devel-
opment In Deming. Frank w. Taylor
u the Deming Bisbee Company is
working through L. A. Holmes In the
financing Of his project and has made
some Roadway. but results are, natu-
rally, slow. The citizens of the city
ought to organize for development or

BACK TO WORK FOR THIS BOY.

Asserting that the war n over. 50
far as he II concerned. and that he r.
no longer ON parade. Jim Finch. on
his return here Monday after four and
a half years In the army. turned over
to his mother his badge with four
stars OH Il and went TO work with the
Foxworth-Galbraith company Tues
day.
He enlisted In the army In March,
1915, nj Douglas, Ariz. and after n
term Of service 10 this country was
sent abroad with the 18th infantry,
serving with the A. r. y. from June
IA, 1917, till July z, 1919. During his
foreign service he was In four major
ngagements,. In the Luneville sector,
the Toul sector, 81. Mihiel and the
Meuse. Argonne battles. for each Of
which he was given the right TO wear
a star ON his breast. Besides his four
service stripes he has two wound
stripes. having been gassed and
wounded by machine gun bullets In
the fighting in which he took part.
His discharge papers state that his
character was excellent and that his
record Is without black mark
against II.
The story OF Jim Finch's enlist
ment In the United States army goes
back to a time before this country
ever became embroiled In the Euro
pean fuss. He and his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Nathan s. Finch, at one
time lived In Mexico, but the troubles
there forced them TO leave that coun-
try with little more than the Globes
they stood up In. They had to leave
their cattle In Mexico, and when they
bought a little ranch near Lake Val
ley after leaving Mexico the father
told Jim that he would give him the
stock that had been left south Of the
line OF he could get them out Of there.
Jim took the contract and started
back to his former stamping ground,
hut he was intercepted by some brig
ands who robbed him, shot his mule
and barely let him off with his life.
At that time the relations between
the United States and Mexico were
somewhat strained, and the young
man thought that his bes chance to
re back at the men who had robbed
and maltreated him, or Mt some OF
their friends, was to offer his SER
vies to Uucle Sam and get In the
game right ut the start, II anything
ever did break south Of the line. But
he was disappointed in this ambition
and. instead, was sent across TO fight
the Hun, where he had as much ex-
citement as he ever could have had In
chasing bandits. His regiment, the
18th infantry. was decorated by the
French government for its fine work
as shock troops In the big offensives
In which Il participated, and Jim
Finch has the right to wear hand
some honor cord across his heart, II
he wants to do 10. but his modesty
forbids and he has turned that over
also, to his mother, who IL producer OF
IL than II she had worn II herself

A HOT AIR CAMPAIGN

The sensational disclosures promis-
ed by Attorney General Palmer and his
conferees have failed to produce the
near-revolution he predicted. Most
people are inclined In view OF his

him In the class OF hot air merchants
with which we can easily dispense
without further raising the price Of

GLOVER LOSES TWO
BUILDINGS IN BLAZE.
Drew Store Building and Stock and
Wesley Sherburne House Total
Loss. Cause Unknown.

Fire broke out in the partition of
the Noah Drew store, in Glover vii
lage, just before two o'clock Tuesday
morning, burning that building with
its stock of goods, and the Wesley
Sherburne house just south of the
store. The origin of the fire is un-
known.
The entire stock of goods of Mr..
Drew was total loss as well as his
j. o. II. A. M, of which Mr.. Drew
was state counsellor. In the second
story of the store building was the
barber shop, pool room, and lunch
counter of Wesley Drew, which was
also 8 complete loss. The building
was owned by Mrs. Betsey Salmon.
Two families, that of Mr.. Drew
and Mr.. Buel, lived in the Sherburne
house, and in the basement was a
station of the Hardwick creamery
where 200 cream cans were lost.
Fire caught on the band stand
Immediately front of the Drew store,
but this was put out. Sparks also
ignited the roof of r. P. Webster's
feed store and the R. II. Johnson
barn, but all these blaZes were luck
| ily eXtinguished.
The hand pump owned for the pur-
pose of fighting fire had not been
1sed since July 4, and was some time
! in getting into working order but
did good work finally. Had the fire
gained headway on the Drew house
the loss would have been much
heavier as other building would pro-
badly have been burned
Much credit Is due the men OF
| Glover for the work they did under
the marshalling of Nj. W. Johnson
| Albert Tyler was nozzle man and
deserves mention for his work Many
from Barton went to the scene of the
fire in time TO assist to some extent
/ The loss is estimated to be fully

Newport Wants Motor Route.
(The Newport News)

A motor route known as the
ethan Allen Trail is being estab-
hshed from Burlington to Breton
Woods in the White Mountains, via
Morrisville, Hardwick and st. Johns
bury. Now Barre and some other
Central Vermont places propose to
have q route through that section of
the state. Burlington to Breton
Woods, via Eden, Newport and VIII
loughby lake offers route unequaled
for fine roads or beauty of lake and
mountain scenery. 1t is few miles
further this way but the Ethan Allen
route or route through Barre offers
nothing so charming as a route
through the lake region of north
eastern Vermont, of which Newport
is the center Newport should lead the
way in mapping and naming auto
mobile routes leading through this
city. The News would be glad to
receive suggestions for routes and
names of tours which would lead
through Newport.
