IN MEMORY OF LIEUTENANT
ISAAC Il. KIRkPATRICk

Like the lightning shot from the clear
est sky;
Like the storm to darken the bright
est weather
Came the message: Isaac Kirkpatrick
killed in France"
And we bowed our heads in grief
together.
Just at the close of the cruel war,
Just when his home coming seemed
so near,
To hear this message from afar
Seemed more than the human heart
could bear.
We were so proud of him in his
strength,
Proud of the uniform he wore;
Proud of his going in our stead,
To fight for the right on a foreign
shore.
Not heart in this little home town Of
his
But loved him as friend or as a
brother;
ANA the message, Ike kirkpatrick
killed in France"
Was tearful.y whispered one to the
other.
His is a memory we'll ever cherish,
His is name we'll speak often and
low;
His was a sacrifice Supremely given,
And to him all honor and praise we
will show.
Take the sting from the message, like
Kirkpatrick is dead'
Cherish it deeply, and when over
head
The Stars and Stripes of Old Glory,
you see,
Remember, he died to save them for
you and for me.

TO RED CROSS WORK KERS

A letter from john w. Morey Di-
vision Manager, Mountain Division, is
in part as follows:
"There appears to be general
tendency on the part of Red Cross
Workers to feel that Red Cross Chap
ter production is practically ended
Perhaps this feeling is a natural one
on account of the many changes in
Red Cross work and the cessation of
certain activities, particularly the
cessation of surgical dressings. Which
has been so prominent and important
a part of Chapter activities.
"At present, however the Red Cross
has before it great task which must
be completed Immediately. 1t is the
production of vast number of re-
fugee garments as quickly as possible.
National headquarters advises US that
II these garments are to be of prac-
tical value in foreign relief this winter,
it is imperative that they be shipped
not later than February lst. This or
der definitely and forcibly confronts
any impression that Red Cross Chap
ter work is ended.
I'VE urge Chapter Officials to check
up Immediately, the present status of
their production organizations, and, if
necessary, to enlist an emergency
force Of workers TO complete not later
than February lst all production or
ders now on hand. In enisting work
ers for this purpose t should be with
the understanding that the call is not
for an activity to extend all winter,
but that it is in reality for sewing
or production campaign or drive for n
short period and that it probably will
be either materially curtailed or en-
tirely discontinued as soon as the pres
ent allotments are completed.
This should not be construed to
mean that there may not be future
allotments and other activities which
will require the services Of many chap
ter workers, but only that an emer-
gency now exists, that relief supplies
must be produced now and that unless
the emergency is met and these orders
comepleted by February lst, the great
est good will not be accomplished, and
first time local chapters, divisional
headquarters and the American Red
Cross as "A whole will have failed to
meet an emergency.
The war is ended; suffering is not.
Fifty workers engaged in an inten-
sive campaign for four weeks may
meet the emergency, whereas, ten
workers for twenty weeks will not"
The women of Quay county Red
Cross have never failed Ito go over
the top" We know you will not fail
in this. Let every woman who has
promised to help with the 800 gar
ments allotted to Quay county chapter,
finish her work, and turn it in so it
can be shipped to Denver before Feb
ruary LIST.

MERCURY MAKE GOOD AN
ATTEMPT TO GO OUT OF SIGHT

Ewly Wednesday morning, Jan. l.,
the thermometer registered 18 below
zero at the Experiment Farm east Of
town, and II to lS below zero at va
rious places in Tucumcari. Thursday
morning it was only one degree warm
er, and it remained cold all day. The
snow fall in the government tester at
the Experiment farm shows 1888 inches
OF precipitation or twenty-four inches
of snow on the level. The snow melt
ed some the first few days as the
ground was warm underneath, so pri-
vate measurements would not show
that much. Water pipes are frozen
and the plumbers will have quite a
time when the weather warns up. The
best part of this cold spell is that
there has been hut little wind and cat
tie are standing the storm much bet
ter than was expected, but should the
cold spell continue much loss is bound
to result.
This cold spell is said to be the
coolest recorded for this part of the
state. The lowest recorded in the last
seven years was four below zero, and
that is cold enough for most anyone.

T. A. MUIRHEAD TO LEAVE

T. A. Muirhead. one of Tucumcari's
most prominent business men, man
who has helped put Tucumcari on the
map in more ways than one. a man
whom the people had the utmost con
fidence in, has decided to leave Tucum-
carl on account of a more lucrative po-
sition. He has been interested in a
business away from here that has
grown to such dimensions that it is
necessary for him to go to it. He has
been making good here and says his
business during 1918 outdid that of
1917, although war prices prevailed
He was very much surprised as well
as gratified at the result Of business
during the year just passed and had
not fully made up his mind to leave
here until an urgent message was re-
ceived Thursday from his partners.
On another page appears the adver-
tisement that tells the rest. Now is
a good time for some man or woman
to buy a good established business,
and an excellent residence well 10.

LEWIS CHARGES
CONSPIRACY OF SENATORS

Washington, -. c., Jan. 2.-Sena-
tor Lewis, Democrat, of Illinois, speak
ing today in the senate, charged Re-
publican leaders with conspiring for
political purposes to discredit Presi-
dent Wilson abroad; to thwart his pur-
poses by giving European negotiators
the impression that the senate opposed
his plan, and by deceiving the Amer
ican public.
The speech was in reply to recent
utterances of Senator's Lodge, of Mas
sachusetts, and Knox, of Pennsylvania
both Republicans, criticizing certain
of the presidents Ia principles of the
peace and urging that consideration
of league of nations, freedom of the
seas and other questions be deferred
until after the peace conference.
Senator Lewis declared the senate
had nothing whatever to do with what
the president is now doing "in present
ing the protocol for peace and the ad-
justment of the disposition of the ar
miles,"
81 inform the European negotiators
and the world" he said, that there is
no law of America, under constitution,
statute or custom, by which the pres
ident is under any obligation to sub
NIT what he is now doing to the SEN
ate, or to any other branch of the leg
islative or executive body.
~ inform the negotiators, as / do
all those interested, that the present
undertakings of the president of the
United States are as commanderinchief
of the armies. He remains such, with
full power as commanderinchief, until
the full treaty or compact of peace
has been finally accepted and peace de-
clared and the armies Withdrawn as
a result of that acceptance"
The senator said the postponement
of the proposals for league of ma
tions and freedom OF the seas would
mean that the war had been fought in
vain and would bring about repeti-
tion of the struggle.
Each nation with claims and prin,
ciples at stake, as it believes them,"
he continued, "seeing no method exist
ing through which it can secure peace
and obtain its rights, will turn to the
only method left and which has just
been adopted-war."
In closing, Senator Lewis urged the
united support for the president while
he is on foreign soil, "contesting for
the supremacy of the United States."
In referring to the Presidents crit
les on the Republican side, Senator
Lewis deviated from his prepared man.
uscript to say that they had never ut
tered one word of satisfaction at the
presidents safe arrival abroad or the
great honors conferred on him.
He added that it was not too much
to believe that they would not have
been displeased to find the presidents
name in the casualty lists.

FL NSTON-FT. BLISS HIGHWAY
CONVENTION JANUARY 20, 'I9

The first annual convention of the
Funston-Fort Bliss Military Highway
Association, which is promoting "a high
way from Camp Funston, Kansas, to
Fort Bliss, at FL Paso, Texas, will be
held at Hutchinson, Kansas, on Janu-
airy goth. This should be one of the
most effective highway meetings that
have been held in the southwest and it
is believed that large attendance Of
interested parties will be noted.
Highway construction activity has
fallen far behind during the period of
the war, and not altogether because of
the war conditions. The federal road
aid funds promised to the various
states have not been forthcoming as
had been expected, and the great cost
Of preparation for federal aid high
way, chiefly in the detailed surveys
required, has tended to delay the avail
ability Of these funds in many states.
We now have it upon the high au-
thority Of the Secretary of Agriculture
to whose department the expenditure
Of the federal aid funds is entrusted,
that a national and very active pro-
gram of highway building is impera-
tive during the coming year, both be-
cause the country needs the roads and
because we need that kind of activity
to supply employment He indicated,
in recent conference with editors of
agricultural journals, in Washington,
that approximately S75,0OO,OOO will be
available for the coming year in un-
expended balances in the federal road
aid fund. This should make it possible
for practically every western state to
proceed actively with highway con-
struction, provided some of the red
tape and unnecessary detail of pre-
paration can be removed from the use
of the funds so that they may become
available for practical purposes.
These matters and many others Of
equal importance will be taken up at
the meeting at Hutchinson and a sys-
tematic and active method of securing
federal aid for the Funston ort
Bliss Highway will be undertaken. Be
to attend the meeting on Jan.
uary goth at Hutchinson.
