Editor of The Republican, Sir:
 I desire to make a correction of a correction. After investigation thor ough and complete I find that Major Linton is stin on the payroll of the state of Arizona and that his office is that of inspector of normal and high school cadets. The statement made by Rev. Bob Shuler lon Sunday after noon was absolutely correct. Mir. Shuler did not say that he was em- ployed by the high school board but he stated positively that he was a state inspector of cadets, employed by the state authorities.
 Yours truly,
 II. 4. Hughes.

 There are various kinds Of critics There is the competent and honest critic, cold judge of art neither friendly nor unfriendly to the artist There Is the critic to whom criticism is only denunciation and never praise who looks only for flaws and never for beauty Then there is the critic who believes that he cannot function without the discovery of flaws

 N#e Miracle Man

There was desert of alkan Till the Miracle Man came round And cast sort of nasty eye On barren and parching ground Then he made some lines and some figures stranl And summoned his slaves-and, To, The waters came down from the mountain range And the desert began to grow!
 He plants the sod
 With his magic rod
 Which he squints through a tube tl an With gleaming chain
 over hill and plain Goes the modern Miracle Man There was river that rose in flood With terrible rage each Spring, Drowning its hundreds and spreading mud And ruin on everything, Till the Miracle Man with his pencil made Some figurings hierogyphic, And now the river is calm and staid A pattern of streams pacific!
 For the floods that rave
 Must all behave
 And peacefully their gyves.
 They must cease to rage
 And their wage When the Miracle Man arrives! There was a pass too steep to scale. An Isthmus too tough to cut, A swamp too boggy to hold a rail; Said the Miracle Man, Tut! Tut" He made some jottings he called his crew There's a highway through the pass, And ships sailing the Isthfnus through And trains ride the soft morass!
 Through the wizard art
 Of pale blue chart
 These miracles did appear

making a big success of his WHY'S
Light and controls the sale of this
marvellous light and power plant for
all the territory in Kansas west of
Russell to the Colorado line. Tt would
take several columns to tell the full
story of this wonderful system, the
best by far of all light and power
plants, but space will not permit so
we must confine ourselves to a few
remarks only. 1t is the quickest and
largest seller in this territory
buyer is a booster and no other can
compare with it, Every farm needs
one and broadly speaking it has all
the worth while features any other
plant has and many that none of them
have. It is, marketed by the most ex-
tensive organization of its kind in
the wide, wide world, the Electric
Auto-lite Corporation, and their pro-
ducts are sold all over the earth. They
are used in hotels, garages, summer
cottages, churches, schools, theatres,
etc, etc, etc, in fact wherever central
station current is not available and
everywhere with the greatest salts
faction. 1t is equipped with the WHY'S
Knight engine, with the quiet sliding

is perfectly cooled with air and oiled

J. L. LOGUE, PROPRIETOR
Bean Studio, Kodak Finishing

Mr.. Logue should be given a prom
inent place in these "Who's Who in
WaKeeney and Trego County" arti-
cles for he has a large trade and is
first class artist well as keen bui-
ness man. Here at his up-to-date stu
do everything in the way of photog-
raphy is done and his lenses are the
latest and best. The lighting ar
engagements are just right and his
work compares favorably with any
done in the state. There is no more
acceptable gift than a picture; it is
the only thing your friends cannot
buy and it suggests only the friend
ship of the giver, never the price,
fleeing fashion or anything ephmer-
al or material and such a gift is, at
all times seasonabIe and in good taste.
Mr.. Logues mountings are attractive
and his studio is a great credit to
our community. Our friend does a
large business in kodak finishing; his
mail order patronage being heavy
and only the best finishing is turned
out. The Bean studio is a fourishing
institution and Mr.. Logue puts heart
and soul in his efforts to satisfy pa
irons. His charge we would empha-
size are reasonable and we have no
hesitancy in recommending strongly
this Photographic gallery and Mr.
Logue personally. He is a courteous
pleasant, capable gentleman and mer-
its the success he has achieved.

He does work that would please the

are well cleaned in every respect
Nothing is used that would harm the
daintiest fabric and the price is al
ways right There is never any

service that is tip top in every way
His place is equipped with the best
machinery money can buy and Mr.
Cortright does a large out OF town
trade. His establishment is strictly
sanitary and the pressing he does is
also high cass. All business is done
on Golden Rule and Square Deal lines
and Mr.. Cortright has made a mark
ed success of his efforts. He takes
measures for nade-to-order suit and
fit, style and fabrics are fully guar
anteed. Taking everything into con-
sideration, they cost no more than
hand-me-downs but, oh, my, there is
a big difference in the durability and
style. You appear at your best in a

TAUTOMOTIVE EXHIBITION WILL OPEN HERE NEXT SAT

Too few motorists are far-sighted
enough to appreciate that the win
ter is the time TO have their cars
put in condition for the succeeding
driving season. according to the
service department Of the National
Automobile Chamber Of Commerce.
There are two reasons why this
is 30. One II that they can spare
their cars better when the weather
Is least inviting to riding and the
other is that repair shops are less
rushed in the winter and can give
most careful and thorough attention
to q Job.
What is equally attractive is that
quite often special rates are made
for repair work done in this more
or less "off" season In other years
repair shops have been quite busy
In the winter because more car
owners did recognize the advantage
OF getting their cars repaired De-
fore they entered another driving
season. But this year on account
OF the open winter there is not
the usual amount OF overhauling
going on.
Shows ThosghtIessness.
Perhaps this thouEhtIessness Of
the average motorist Is comparable
to that Of the man who did not re-
pair his roof in fair weather be-
cause It didn't need it then. and in
rainy weather he couldn't, hence his
roof continued to leak.
The consequence will be that a
great many motorists this spring
will awaken to the fact that they
have too long neglected the over
hauling needed. When they go to
shops they are likely to ind them
full OF work and be unable to get
accommodated until the driving
season has begun. Then the regu-
lar volume. OF work going through
the shop will make II hard for them
TO receive proper attention, and as
result many will have TO drive
their cars in unsatisfactory condi-
ton and to the disadvantage Of the
cars. In other words. the stitch
in time" having been neglected,
heavy and excessive repair bills
VIII follow. Certain It is that IL all
wait until spring to get their ears
overhauled the work will be onIy
half done.
Another objection to delay not &c
De overlooked Is that in the SPRING
there will be a great many new carr
coming through from the factorie.
and the service stations OF the deal.
ers handling these are going to bt
very busy putting these new cars IN

ally this work will cake precedenc,
over all other work. as the dealer.
will be anxious to turn the car,

Possible Shortage Of Mechanics.
Moreover. IL car owners would Ee'
