class arrived at an early hour with an
expression indicative of having a good
time written on their faces. A num-
ber of contests and fun producing
games were participated in by all. At
ten o'clock amid a joyful confusion the
entire class began a search each for
position at refreshments. the num-
bers being hung on a Christmas tree,
to which was attached a pretty rhyme
descriptive Of the owners disposition.
After this the watch upon the last
flecting moments Of the old year, 1918,
was started, and while the house was
filled with vocal music several of the
boys slipped quietly out and lighted
their explosives to welcome 1919. All
went away saying in their hearts.

RECOMMENDS CANNERY

j. M. Bond of Quay was in town
this week on business. He has been
reading much lately about foreign
countries prefering horse meat to that
of cattle. He thinks Tucumcari would
do itself favor if a canpery could be
established where horse meat and that
of jackrabbits could be canned ready
to ship to those countries that use
this product. Having never tasted or
heard very much about the use Of
horse meat this matter is left to those
who are better posted. Quay county
has plenty of jack-rabbits and there
are number of horses unfit for work
so the supply is practically assured.

DEATH TO CAUSE RADICAL
CHANGE IN PARTY SLATE

Washington, Jan. Gwen mem.
bers OF congress and other political
leaders who were most distressed over
Colonel Roosevelt's death could no,
help being drawn into the inevitable
discussion Of its effect upon American
political life, and particularly the pres.
idential campaign of 1920. Every.
one agreed that the effect would be
tremendous.
There had been reports that Col.
onel Roosevelt would issue a state.
ment soon formally announcing his
intention not to seek the nomination
for president next year. Nevertheless
democratic leaders and many repub-
licans still regarded him us the pros
pective republican nominee for presi-
dent in 1920. His death, it is conceded
must cause radical change in cam
paign plans of both parties.
Republicans in congress, said the
effect upon the party as "a whole
would be varied. Some expressed the
belief that one result would be to uni
~ the party by healing factional diff
ferences.
Democratic leaders took the view
that Colonel Roosevelt's loss left the
republican party without a leader or
potential presidential candidate.
In the capitol lobby discussions, the
name of General Pershing was men,
TONED frequently as a possible repub-
lican standard bearer in 1920. Some
republican leaders, however, declared
that General Pershing
could not be seriously considered. The
republican opinion generally seemed
to be that there was plenty of time
m which to select candidate and
plenty of material.

WILL NOT NEED IRRIGATION

Carlos Afford was in today from his
farm southwest of town. The roads
are in bad shape but he is pleased at
the prospect for big crop next year.
During the past summer when every
body gave up that nothing could be
produced, he was delivering vegetables
of all kinds to our merchants at good
price. 1t took work and energy but
he accomplished much. Next year he
expects to grow good crop without
irrigation.

A. b. Carman came down town Tues
day for the first time since he was
taken sick fifty-four days ago, most
of the time having been spent in bed.
Part of the time il was feared he was
doomed but his physical nature was
too strong and he finally pulled thru.
His face was covered with whiskers
tvarigated in color) and they made
him look like a man up in forty years
old. Even some of the postofiice men
whom he had worked with, did not rec
ognize him for several minutes. He
is minus forty or fifty pounds of flesh
and his former acquaintances could
hardly believe it was him. 1t is hoped
that he will quickly round into form
and be back on the job at the post
Office.

HINDENBURG LINE SKATER
ED FIRST BY AMERICANS

London, Eng, Jan. S.-Field mar.
shal Sir Douglas Haig, whole report OF
operations from the end of April until
the end of hostilities was made pub
lic here today, pays a high tribute to
Marshal Foch commanderinchief of the
allied armies, and alludcs to the splen-
did fighting qualities of the American
forces"
AT the moment when the final tri-
umph of the allied cause is assured,
we and all other of the allied and as
sociated armies can look back on the
years that have gone with satisfac>
tion undimmed by any hint of discord
or conflict of interest and ideals"
The report takes up in detail the
iight:ng OH various parts Of the Brit.
ish fronts, which the field marsha.
commanded.
At the close Of operations the re-
port declares:
lin the decisive contests in the Pc
riod covered by the report, the strong
est and most vital parts of the en-
emy's front were attacked, his lateral
communications were cut and his best
divisions were fought to standstill.
On the different battle fronts, the
British took 1877 900 prisoners and 1850
guns, bringing the total number of
prisoners captured during the war to
over POI 900 These results were
achieved by 50 fighting British divis-
ions, which, in the course of three
months battle, endangered and defeat
ed 90 separate German divisions. When
the armistice was signed by the en-
emy, his defensive powers had already
been definitely destroyed ContinL-
ance of hostilties would have meant
only disaster to the German armies
and an armed invasion of Germany"
American troops were the first to
break the Hindenburg line, accord
ing to the Daily News, in Its comment
today on the report of field marshal
Sir Douglas Haig on the operations
from the end of last April up to the
close of hostilities.
In September he wrote:
North of Bellenglise, the 30th di-
vision, American, Maj. Gen. L. NJ. Lew
is, having broken through the deep
defenses of the Hindenbure line, storm
ed Bellincourt and seized Nourroy. On
their left, the 9th American division,
Maj. Gen. Organ, met with very hea-
Wy enfilading machine gun fire, but
pressed on with great gallantry as
far as Jouy, where bitter struggle
took place for possession of the vii
lage. The fighting on the whole front
Of the second American corps was
severe, and in Be!lingcourt, Nourroy
Gillemont farm and a number of 9TH
err er points, amid the intricate de-
fences of the Hindenburg line, strong
bodies of the enemy held out with
with great obstinacy for many hours.
These points of resistance were
overcome, either by the sup
port troops of the American divisions
DR. by the fifth and third Australian
divisions"

there were numerous projects to han

for any live citizen to boost and help

The members are highly pleased at
the successful outcome of the first
"get-to-gether" meeting of the year,
