Will Not SupportFe

Tho Santa Fe New Mexican callsupon all good Republicans in NewMexico, who-- have any regard for thofuture of their party to join in thework of defeating decisively and overwhelmingly the ticketdictated to them at the state con-

vention in Albuquerque by A. B.Foil, H. O. Bursum, W. A. Hawkins,J. M. Sully, Secundino Romero, EdOtero and Jesus Romero.

The New Mexican will fight thisticket from now until election daywith all its energy and all its resources.

Thia ticket is unrepresentative oftho Republican party of New Mexico.

It was forced upon the Republicanparty against its will.

It was forced upon the Republicanparty by

politically indecent methods.It was the result of ono of the raw-

est deals ever put by the oldterritorial bosses and the speciul in-

terests with which they are so closelyand permanently affiliated.

The head of the ticket has been formany years a protege of H. O. Bur-su-

Ho is not the choice of the Re-

publican convention.Ho l.i unacceptable to the rank and

file of the party.He was handpicked by the bosses,

substituted by coercion for the plainand unmistakable choice of the indi-vidual delegates.

Attend Bankers, State Convention

L. B. Gregg, G. W. Singleton, S.

Jones, C. W. Harrison and AlexShipley attended the State Bankets'Convention at Albuquerque lastweek. It was an interesting meet-ing and Clovis bankers received quite

bit of recognition at the meeting.Alex Shipley served the convention

the nominating committee and C.

Harrison was elected vice-pre-

dent of tho association. This meansthut Mr. Harrison will lutcr be presi-

dent of the organization. S. A.Jones was named as a member of

executive committee for a termthree years and he was also eloctcdthe s(ate delegate to the American

Bankers Association which meets atWashington, D. C, in October. Mr.Jones goes as the only delegate from

state to this important meeting.

SCHOOL OUTLOOK BRIGHT

With an adequate teaching forcetuke care of the additional enroll-

ment, the outlcok for a successfulyear for the Clovis schools is verybright, according to Superintendent

W. Bowyer. Although the delay intho new Eugene Field School build-

ing is causing half day sessions insome of the grades, and some incon-

venience in the class arrangement atthe high school building, prospects forthe year are better than ever before.

GET READY FOR COUNTY FAIR

The Curry County Farm Bureau

News gives the following boost to the

County Fair:"Now is the time to begin prepara-

tion for your exhibit at the CountyPair. The grain exhibits should becollected as rapidly as they are ma-

ture enough to cut. They should becured in tho shade with the headsdown so that they will retain theirgreen color and shapliness.

"The live stock should be given alittle extra grain and brushing upfor tho next thirty days in order forthem to make the best showing at theCounty Fair.

"The Fair Association is doing all

its power to provide for theseexhibits, and farmers should thereforedo their part in putting their produceand live stock in tho best possiblecondition. The Fair will be held atClovis, October 14th, 15th and 16th.So let everybody do thoir part andwe will have a fair that will do creditto any county."

the State Ticket

ronage there was to promise, deliver-

ed their delegations like peons underorders.

He waa ineligible, nominated in di-

rect contravention of the constitutionof Mexico and the laws of the'state as established by decisions ofits supreme court.

If there is ever to be a real Repub-

lican party in this state this machinemust be smashed now, lock stock andbarrel.

Until this oligarchy is put abso-

lutely out of business; until the timearrives when it is not tolerated in Re-

publican councils, Republican organi-

zations and Republican conventions,there is no hope of getting the partyback to the people. While the ele-

ment which put this job over is stillin control, Republicans need expectnothing fair, squure or honorable inparty affairs and majority rule willremain a myth.

The defeut of the ticket is alreadyasured. Republican after Republicanhas stated publicly and with no reser-vations that he will either "quit" orget out and fight the ticket But thisdefeat must be the most monumentaland crushing in the history of New

Mexico elections. We urge everyRepublican to get into

the game and show Mr. Fall and Mr.

Bursum and Mr. Hawkins and Mr.Secundino Romero and Mr. Otero andMr. Sully and Mr. Jesus Romero thatthere are still party men in the statewho will not be herded; that there la

One thing thnt is being noted withinterest by American employer class-es is that the tide of immigration isapain running strongly.

of industrial readjustment in thecountry thnt cannot be overlooked. Itmeans , of course, the graduul in-

crease in the available supply of la-

How Much Life Insurance

Should I Carry?The above question is hard for some men to ans-

wer, ami yet every man with a family should proper-- ,

ly answer the question ami act accordingly. Theproper development and wholesome existence of thefamily may he determined by the answer to thoquestion.

The Department of Labor has been making anexhaustive study of this question and has fully an-

swered it in a recommendation to the CongressionalCommittee as follows:

"Family Budget determines necessary

amount of Life Insurance. The minimum

to be carried by the 'father' $7,500."

The lJurcau of Labor statistics of the UnitedStates Department of Labor recently prepared forthe Congressional Committee a tentative quantityand cost budget necessary to maintain a family of,five in health and decency. These figures have beenlargely used by Labor Unions in urging increasesin wages, as they are made on an elaborate basis,providing high standards for food, clothing, housing,etc. On the subject of Life Insurance it recommendsthat at least $7,500 be earned on the head of the fam-ily with adequate insurance on the dwelling andproperty. On this subject the report said:

"In the first standard budget prepared by theBureau of Labor Statistics, provision was made" for alife insurance nreniiiim sufficient to nne for n ."Wmn

K " ' - " " ' '(Vf'Wpolicy for the head of the family. This was consider- -fill flwi nltjf1lifs tttlTliktll tvt rtttofruilLt. a w1 r..kfniHwii, wMwiuit uiiiiiMiuui u'i i wm i;immi aim naiLije,since in the event of the husband's death it wouldfurnish an income to the wife and ehildren of notover $:;( a year or $i.00 a week. Wit h the increasedcost of living, this amount, is clearly insufficient.To give tie same degree of protection as xvm in cord-ed in 1014 by a $"),0)0 policy, it would now be neces-sary for the husband carry tlO.OtX). ( 'flutingthat, in order to help carry the burdens of the war,the working man and his family must make somesacrifices in their standards of living, it would cer-tainly be inadvisable at this time to advocate a policyof less than $7,500 for tho head of the family."

The Labor lJureau at Washington completed asurvey last year of 12,102 families located in 92 in-

dustrial .mictions of the country, and found that theaverage family is composed of five people, and theaverage income $1,514. Tho average income per fam-ily has increased during the past year approximate-ly 25, making the present average income per fam-ily about $1,900 per year. The recommendationsmade by the Labor Bureau as to the minimumamount of Life Insurance that should be carried arebased upon the above' increase. If your Life Insur-ance account does not equal the minimum familyrequirement, as recommended by the Labor Depart-ment, then you should arrange to increase thoamount at once.

LET'S BOOST FORDIRECT PRIMARIES

(Albuquerque Journal)

Thei primary is not a cure-al- l, butit is a great aid in preventing an un-

due seizure of power. It does give thepeople a real choice as to whom they

shall vote for. Otherwise an autocracy gives us two candidates, whomwe had no voico In choosing, fromwhom we may solcct one. Which onethe autocrat cares little.

A primary will minimize county

bossism, and county bossism is thecurse of New Mexico. There arecounties where the will of one man is

supreme as was that of the czar ofRuttsia. This accounts for the notoriously low character of the legis

lature. The low character of the leg-

islature accounts for the bad and inequitable laws. Control by a fewmen is easy under such condition.

Freed from the despotism of pettybosses, the air of freedom of actionwill expand the lungs of our peopleIn Spanish-America- n counties untitastonishing progress in all lines willresult, almost at once.

County tickets and state ticketswill cease to be made in back rooms,to a large degree. Officials, responsive to the will of the people, insteadof responsive to the will of the boss,will result.

Women can participate in a1 primary with digniiied self respect. Theold caucus system is an affront tothem.

The argument of the expense of theprimaries ta not made in good faith.The state can wall afford the smellexpense. It will be saved in more in

telligent government. The expenseof individual candidates is contributions made toward public enlighten-

ment and education upon issues. As

well argue to shut down our schoolsin the interest of economy.

We wi'l gladlv give space to areaments against our primary or otherproposals Tt ua determine partypolicies in the open, with the publkparticipating, instead of a committeeroom.

vie are wrong, te'l the public about it.

On the opening day of the Bell- -

view jchaol the mutter of a commun-

ity fair was taken up. It was de-

cided to hold their Community Fairand the Boys' and Girls' Club ex-

hibit at Bellvio'v on the 24th of

September.

Keen interest is being: shown in

this matter. Several of the leading

citizens made liberal contributionsfor prizjs and general expenses ofthis fair. We anticipate a treat be-

cause the people are very enthusiasticand are going to do everything pos-

sible to in ke a creditable showing.

WHITEWASH RECIPES

The following whitewash formulashave been suggested:

1. Tak a half bushel of unslack-e- d

lime and slake i with boiling wa-

ter, covering during the process tokeep in steam. Strain the liquidthrough a fine stive or strainer, andadd to it a peck of salt previously dis-

solved in warm water, three poundsof ground rice bailed to a thin pasteand stirred in while hot, one-hal- f

pound of Spanish whiting and onepound of clean glue previously dis-

solved by soaking in cold water, andthen hung over's slow fire in a smallpot hung in a larger one filled withwater. Add five gallons of hot wa-

ter to the mixture, stir well; let itstand a few ?ays covered from dirt.It should be applied hot, for whichpurpose it con bs kept in a kettle or

portable furnace. Coloring matterway be added as desired. When a lessdurable wliitowash will answer, theabove may be modified by leaving outthe whiting and glup and omitting thehailing. It need not be applied hotana may oe applied with a sprayjmrap.

2. Slake 25 pounds of fresh limein sufficient water to make a paste,sprinkle in 15 pounds of flowers ofsulphur, add 30 gallons of water, andboil for an hour. Then add enoughwater to. make 50 gallons and applyWith a spray pump, using a Bordeauxnozzie. mis is in some favor as aHislnfectant,

8. Take 20 pounds of unslakedlime, 3 pounds of common salt and 1

pound of alum. Slake the lime withtoiling water until of the consistency

f thin cream. To increase the antiseptic properties of the wash, add 1

pint of crude carbolic acid to each

bucketful.4 To half a bucketful of unslaked

lime add two handfuls of comon salt,and soft sonp at the rate of 1 poundto 15 gallons of the wash. Slake slow-ly, stirring all the time. This quan-

tity makes two bucketfuls of very ad-

hesive wash, which is not affected byrain.

5. Slake lime with water and addsufficient skimmilk to bring it to theconsistency of thin cream. To eachgallon add 1 ounce of salt and 2 ozs.of brown sugar dissolved in water.The germacidal values of Nos. 4 and5 may be increased by adding one-four- th

pound of chloride of lime toevery 30 gallons of the wash.

I. Slake quick lime with enoughwater to make a thick paste. Whileit is slaking add a pint of melted lardor other grease and a cupful of saltto a bushel of lime. Add enough wa-

ter to bring the solution to the con-

sistency of thin cream and strainthrough a piece of burlnp. Forchicken house or barn where milk isnot made it is advisable to add fomounces of some, coal tar disinfectanto every gallon of the mixture.

COULD SHOUT FOR

JOY, SHE. SAYS

ILLINOIS WOMAN IS HAPPYOVER HER RESTORATION

TO HEALTH

"I am so happy, I feel like shout-

ing for joy and I simply have to telleverybody I meet what Tanlae has

done for me," said Mrs. W. Knebell,

of 019 Matthew St., Peoria, 111. "Justa short time ago I was such a perfectwreck that I saw no hope of enjoy-

ment in life," ahe continued, "and to-

day I haven't a trouble of any kind.

'Even as a girl I was never strong

and healthy and as time passed new

troubles set in. Every bite I ate hurtme and I would have severe cramps,gas formed and presed around myheart so bad I had to fight for breath.My kidneys caused me to huve back-acl- u'

until I thought it would drive me

distracted nnd if I tried to stoop over' my back felt like it would break in

two, and even the weight of my

clothes hurt me so much I had to huvethem made so their weight was nil onmy shoulders. When I tried to sweepthe floor or cnok a menl 1 became so

weak and dizzy I had to lie down,and my nerves were so shuttered I

could hardly sleep al night. This wag

my condition for twenty long yuarsnot one day, hut every day, nnd Icnuld never get any pleasure out of

' life."When you go this way yenr in nnd

year out and then find a medicinelike Tanlac it just seems too good tobe true. My appetite is now splendidand I eat heartily three times a daywithout a bit of trouble afterwards.My kidneys never bother me anymore und the pain in my back has dis-

appeared entirely. I never have diz-

zy spells now and my nerves are so

steady I sleep all night long like achold. I am so strong that I do all my

housework and never get tired, and I

8m so happy over my splendid healththat I can hardly contain myself andI will never beable to praise Tanlacenough."

Tanlac is sold In Clovis by CityDrug Co., in Texica by Red Crossrhnrmacy, and in Melrose by Irwin& Tool. (Advertisement)

THAT BAD BACKDo you have a dull, steady ache in

the small of the bock sharp, stab-

bing twinges when stooping or liftingdistressing urinary disorders? For

bad back and weakened kidneys Clo

vis residents recommend Doan's Kid-

ney Pills. Ask your neighbor. Readthis Clovis statement.

Mrs. O. L Love, 205 S. WallaceSt., says: "A few years ago I hadan attack of kidney complaint andfor a whole winter my back was solame and weak, I could hardly getabout. I hope I never get to feelinglike that again. I often got so dizzyI nearly fell over and my kidneyswere in a bad way, too, being weakand inactive. Specks floated beforemy eyes and blurred my sight Ibought Doan's Kidney Pills from theSouthwestern Drug Co., and threeboxes cured me of the trouble. Any-one suffering from disordered kid-

neys should try Doan's Kidney Pillsfor they are a great medicine."

Anyone with a smattering of mechanical knowledge knows that to reducethe weight of a car is to reduce the cost of maintenance.

Hut, ordinarily, to reduce the weight of a car is to sacrifice the comfort ofriding in it; and comfort weighs just as much as economy on a motor ride.

The problem was to combine light-weig- ht economy with heavyweight com-

fort.K.xpert engineering knowledge said it couldn't be done.That was the tradition that a generation of automobile designers had

set up.And that is tradition that the Overland designers have upset.After four years of unrelenting effort, involving millions of dollars in ex-

perimentation, and millions niore in readjusting the Ihouandfold activitiesof the Overland plants the fundamental change in Overland plans, the mostperplexing of automobile problems is solved.

The Overland is literally a revelation in comfort and a revolution in econ-omy!

You don't know what either comfort or economy is in a light-weig- ht car,till you have ridden in the new suspension Triplex Spring Overland.

For this is the first time in the'history of motoring that economy andcomfort have taken the road together. . .

Here is one of serge, there another of trieotine, andduvetyn repents itself in many of the models. No need to attemptto describe thorn all one could not do justice to their originalityand the many charming ways in which rich embroidery and furtrimming have been brought into play.

With Such Distinctive Wraps Chilly Days

Are WelcomeThey arc interesting to see, but you will long for the moment

when you can afford to wrap yourself in one of these modes. Beingmade of soft fabrics, they drape remarkably well. Large collarsseem to be the rule, and in very many instances they are of fur. Thedesigners not only have originated new style lines, but have evolv-ed many new ways of using embroidery to lend smartness anddistinction to the most important garment which a woman is towear this fall.

Dashing Autumn Frocks for Every Hourof the Day

There are frocks of wool and frocks of silk. Chemise frocksand frocks that take no coat lines. Frocks with floating panels,others, with tunics and surplice bodices almost no end to thestyle variation, fabrics and modes of trimming. They are re-freshing to see. They show the cleverness and originality offashion designers. And how refreshing one will appear whenclothed in their charming lines.

Smart Separate Skirts belong inEvery Wardrobe

In this day every woman simply must have several separateSkirts for wear with sweaters, sport coats and blouses of all sorts.There are handsome checked, plaid and striped models abundantlyknife plaited in a surprising variety of ways. You will find themjust the thing for Autumn's "bright blue weather." Then for thecostume blouse are lovely silken models of great beauty as well aspracticability. An Autumn wardrobe is incomplete without itsfull quota of smart Skirts.

New Sweaters for theOutdoor Days of

AutumnThe genuine sweater days arc

here likewise the sweaters. One.glimpse of the. new models will boenough for any woman to decidewisely that she needs one or per-haps more for Autumn wear. Tux-edo, surplice and slipover stylescontinue in popularity, while newblouse, styles with fashionablybraided girdles and odd weaves areamong the latest arrivals. Navy,blue and black arc smart shadeswhile for those preferring moredecorative hues are the gayer andmore colorful ones in silk, wool andchiffon wool.

The world loves a champion. People today are no different than they were at thotime of John L. Sullivan. Most of U3 have closed our desks to watch Ty Cobb or HansWagner, and we are doing it now for Babe Ruth. It is human nature to take pride inaccomplishments

t

Hudson and Essex are champions. They hold all the worthi-whil- e records in theautomobile world, and when an automobile does something worth-whil- e over 8,000,000owners are interested, and particularly if a man owns or hopes to some day own a carof that make.

There was a thrill that went over the entire country when an Essex crossed thocontinent in 4 days, 14 hours and 43 minutes. Many motor car owners refused to be-

lieve it, and but for the fact that the car carried mail and' was virtually checked outof San Francisco and in to New York by Uncle Sam some never would have thoughtthe run possible. ...

.Now over 45,000 Essex owners enjoy a greater pride of ownership because their car

is a champion. The Cincinnati 50-ho- run, the hundreds of local records of EssexWeek all helped to stimulate this pride of ownership, but the transcontinental run wasthe crowning, achievement. N

Hudson, with its round-tri- p transcontinental record, its years of victories un-touched, and the prestige it has earned as a fine car, enjoys all this championshippride-o- f owner feeling.

Smut in the wheat crop this yearhns been the cause of thousanJ of dol-

lars being lost to the furmers of Cur-

been avoided by using the simple for-

maldehyde treatment. There are

several methods of treating with the

formaldehyde but they all give about

ping, which is about as follows:Put 40 gallons of water in a 60

sible. It is well to open the drillabout one notch more for plantingtreated seed than for ordinary seedto allow for swelling due to soaking.By this method It is well to fix a drainboard so that the solution can drainbacli into the barrel and be usod overand; over again. It is advisable, however, not to use the solution afterit has stood for twelve hours or more,so after that all the solution that isleft in the barrel should be drainedout nnd a fresh soultion put in be-

fore treating any more grain.The sprinkling method is also sat-

isfactory, if sufficient pains are takento see that every particle of graingets treated. By this method the grainis put in a tight bin or box and a solu-

tion of one pint of formaldehyde toforty gallons of water is sprinkledon it, and while the solution is beingsprinkled on the grain it should beshoveled over nnd over after the nmn-n- er

of mixing cement, then it is heap-

ed in a nice pile and covcrad with can-

vas or burlap and left o''er nichtwhen it is spread out and dried asquickly as possible and made readyfor planting.

Special care should be taken afterthe grain is treated not to allow itto become exposed to smut by puttingin untreated bags, bins or boxes. Eventhe grain drill should be cleaned witha strong solution of formaldehydebefore it is used for planting wheat.

FORD sonTRADEMARK

.Farm TractorWlu-i- i Henry Ford set about building the Fordson tractor he

had a thorough understanding of just what it should he and justwhat it should do. His early life on the farm gave him a deep in-

sight into Hie daily life of a fanner; his nieehanieal genius sawthe type of tractor needed. He hegan work on a farm tractorthirty-fiv-e years ago, and for more than twelve years he experi-mented over more than 7,000 acres of land in different kinds ofsoil, with different crops.

So he built the Fordson. It is so simple that a school hoy canoperate it. It is low in first cost. It is lowest in operating costand Fordsou parts and Fordson service are always to be hadpromptly from the dealer.

The Fordson is a profitable investment. It can be usedevery working day'in the year. It is an inexpensive power plantthat will lighten mr farm work. It has proven its worth oil morothan one hundred thousand farms not only in operating imple-ments in the fields but in belt and pulley work. And it doesn'teat when idle.

Don't delay ordering your Fordson tractor. The demand isgreater than the supply. '
