AMERICA HAS NO PLACE
IN THE EUROPEAN SoUABBLE

1t seems that the European nations
are endeavoring to draw America in
to another war, and at this time the
outlook is very bright for their sue
cess.
American warships have been sent
to European waters to protect
American interesta" and but a
slight pretext is needed to drag us
into a political war.
Right now the American people
should be up on their hind legs fight
ing another siege Of war. We have
just finished one expensive and dew
astating war "for humanity" and so
far as we can see humanity hasn't
been benefited to any appreciable
extent.
The powers that be at Washing
ton were terribly afraid to "mix in
European affairs" when the move
ment was to try to establish peace,
but we notice that it took but few
weeks to enable them to mix in Eur
opean affairs when the mixture
threatened to bring another war.
Frankly we are sick of war and we
can see no earthly reason for taking
a chance Of getting into the fray
again. However, sthe propaganda is
already working. Just few days
ago we met man who was terribly
wrought up because the Turks had
killed off some Christians. We admit
it is terrible, yet we cannot see the
benefit in sending a lot more Chris
tians and others over to be dealt with
similarly. Look out for this propa-
ganda stuff, for if the political in
terests of the country deem it expedi-
ent, we will be dragged in and the
cause attributed to some charitable
or christian motive.
Everyone should talk against an
other way. Do your bit to create
sentiment adverse to war and you
will see results.

BOSS JACKSON GETS LIFE TERM

A murder trial that held the at
tention of the people of Quay county
and Tucumcari for week to the ex-
clusion of almost everything else go
ing on was that of the state VS.. Boss
Jackson, Brent Cosner and Texas
Jack, charged with the murder of
Royal Lackey, longtime resident,
and highly esteemed citizen of east
ern New Mexico and for many years
a ranchman Of this county. Boss
jackson is brother of Sam jackson
of Vega, Texas, and a member OF
the firm of Jackson brothers, Panhan-
die land owners and stockmen.
Boss Jackson confessed the killing
and entered a plea of self-defense.
The plea reduced to few words was
that Lackey was attempting to shoot
Brent Cosner, Jackson's nephew, and
he BOSS Jackson) caught Lackey's
gun with his left hand and pushed it
aside and reached with his right hand
and drew his gun and shot Lackey.
Lackey was a strong man and used
in the many years spent in west and
as an officer to handle men, and the
jury in summing up all the testimony
both in the preliminary and this trial
didn't believe Jackson's last minute
story and rendered verdict of sec
ond degree murder.
Judge Ryan of Silver City, trying
the case, sentenced Jackson to the
penitentiary for a term of not less
than ninety and not more than nine
ty-nine years. Motion for new trial
and bond was denied by the COURT
Tucumcari America.

GARDEN CITY
EXPERIMENT STATION

The Garden City Experiment Sta.
ton is place well worthy of visit,
not only by the farmers of western
Kansas, but by all who like to see a
model farm, crops which are the best,
and to study the methods employed,
both by irrigation and dry farming,
and see for themselves the results
obtained under each method.
There is large acreage planted
to the various sorghum crops, and
grasses, and acres upon acres of al
falfa, together with, corn and the
smaller crops and visit to the sta
ton would be a revelation not only
to the farmers, but anyone else.
The station is maintained by the
state in connection with the State
Agricultural College, and hundreds
of experiments are carried on and
have been for years, thus enabling
farmers to determine exactly the
best crops to plant, the methods of
cultivation to be pursued to get best
results, and every fact farmer
needs.
Not near enough farmers are TAX
ing advantage of the information the
station can furnish. Mr.. Wagner, the
superintendent, is ready at all times
to give information and show farm
ers over the station grounds.-Gar-
den City Telegram.
