Cream Station


Mr.. w. j. McPhoeters, field
Supt. of the Nissley Creamery al
Amarillo Texas, was in Roy We'd
nesday and established a cream
station with the Florsheim Co.
store with Tom Strong as mana
ger. The advantage Of this sta
tion over shipping to creameries
is that you see the cream tested
and get your check and take
home yonr can instead of ship
ping it yourself, getting the test
at the Creamery and yoar check
semi-occasionally.
Tom Strong is an experienced
creamery mrn having held a pos
ition as buyer before enlisting in
the Army.
We anticipate a good business
from the start.

Mrs. w. H. Wilcox. Chm

The Red Cross Ladies packed
and shipped a large order of gar
ments for the suffering children
in and war-stricken countries Of
Earope Tuesday. The workers
are few but they are strenous
and are getting large part Of
the allotment finished on time.
Those who have the vision and
the spirit of the cause in their
minds to see the need for work
now are really lucky ones. 1t is
better to toll onNand even be un-
appreciated, than to lack the
quality of mind that can see
the need even tho the war and
excitement is over. She who
merely exists does not really live
as does she who knows and un-
derstands and knowing labors for
the coming of the high ideals of
nations espoused by the Red
Cross.

The Village trustees applied
$4,000 of village funds to the
cause of building a cinder path
to the schoolhouse from up town
at their meeting Saturday night.
This with the sum donated and
secured by the Benefit Picture
Shows, which were we'll attended
despite the bad weather, will
build a path that will make it
possible for the teachers and
children to get to school dry shod
and is a commendable enterprise.

High Taxes.

There are a few residents Of
Roy who do not feel the pinch
of the doubling of the taxes on
all property inside the village cor
poration We are getting more
for our money however and the
necessity for donating to many
things is done away with, by
having the money raised by tax
alton. We can save enough if we
break ourselves Of the subacript-
ion paper nabit, to cover the tax
es and it does distribute the bur-
den equally instead Of leaving
it all to be paid by the generous
ones.

School Sense

Holding that it is the Amer
icanization and not the Latinizat-
ion Of New Mexico for which the
citizenship Of the state Should
strive, Democratic members Of
both houses Of the fourth leglsla-
ture will no doubt oppose strong
Iy the governors plan Of compul-
sorry teaching Of Spanish in al I
the schools Of the state. Grant
ing that the communities
where Spanish is spoken largely
shonld have teachers OF dual
linguaf attainments, which is all
ready the contemplation Of the
law. 1t is not felt by the Demo-
cratic Legislators that Spanish
should be placed on an equal foot
ing with the English language
in the states schools, were the
objective it would seem from all
educational points Of view is a
higher degree Of development Of
English as a commercial and ed
ucational factor. tits not through
the Spanish but through the
English language that the state
may hope to hold its place among
the other states of the union, ac-
cording TO Democratic legisla-
tors. at the state capital.

expert who prepared the plans for the
reservoir, advising the board to have
the working drawings prepared as
soon as possible in order that work

To Push Bond Issue
The board tried last year to get the
permission of the Capital Issues Com
mission to float bond issue of about

sary permission can be obtained.
