Audience Sunday Evening. Rev. J. S. Russel addressed a large audience on the subject "Public School System", last Sunday even ing at 8:150 P. M. Rev. Russells ser mons are logical and philosophical, clear in their views, ar d impress the audience and 1 ee,)s their attention throughout his discourse. He may be termed the ''Silver Tongue Orator"; we have heard many speakers but know of none who can surpass Rev. Russell. He is a person of great in intelligence, - telligence, intelligence, thoroughly posted on all matters both local and foreign, and able to quote good authorities in sub substantiating - stantiating substantiating his points of argument. It is a pleasure to hear him speak on any subject and Roy should be proud of being able to listen to an '.'up-to-date" orator. The Flag Law . Last Sunday evening, Rev. J. S. Russell in an address to a crowded house, brought out the necessity and importance of displaying the United States flag upon the school building of our town during school hours. We agree with Rev.' Russell we will say further that we have a law to that effect, which really makes it compul sory for the school board to procure a flag for that purpose. We below quote an extract 6f the said hiwwhich is from Session Laws of 1!KV, Section 2 of Chapter 48. - "The school directors or' hoard of education in the various districts, cities and towns in the territory shall cause the United States flag tobedis played upon the public school build buildings - ings buildings or premises therein during school hours and such boards of school di directors - rectors directors or boards of education shall also establish - rules and regula tions for the proper care, custody and display of the flag; and when, for any cause it is not displayed it 'shall be placed conspiciously in the principal room of the school building. Roy Needs A High School The Board of School Directors should take! steps to build a new two story four room school building to be used by the grades and convert the present school building into a high school. This can easily 1e done by voting $7500.00 worth of new bonds; $5000.00. of it to be used for the new building and $2500.00 to be used in improving the old building and beautifying the grounds. The total bond indebtiness would then be $10,000.00. which could be easily paid in ten years, as the Railway Co., will add greatly toward the payment of these bonds; in fact they will pay three-fourths of the total indebtedness.Preparations should -hei e fore be made to vote this bond issue at the next election of the school board Bishop Pitavaul Will Be In Roy, On September 25th.

Andrews called on the Secretary of Agriculture and requested that some seed wheat be furnished to those farmers in Roosevelt county who have suffered from the drouth. The secre secretary - tary secretary stated that upon the recomenda recomenda-tion - tion recomenda-tion of Governor Curry and Delegate Andrews he hoped he would be able to furnish 5,000 bushels of seed wheat to farners in need. We believe that if some of our farm farmers - ers farmers who lost their seed in the drouth during April, May, June and July would write to the Governor and Del Delegate - egate Delegate Andrews, they would probably get some of that wheat for iliis sec tion of the country.

ROY DESTINED TO BECOME THE BEST TOWN ON THE DAW DAWSON - SON DAWSON RAILWAY Roy is on the verge of a great boom it is destined to become one of the most prosperous towns in northeast northeastern - ern northeastern New Mexico, it has a splendid future in the store of great things. The town of Roy did not spring up with the income of immigration of last year like other towns did along the main line of the Rock Island Rail way, it was established fiveyears prior to the coming of the present immigra immigration - tion immigration movement and managed to pad paddle - dle paddle its way through the path of growth und development. The town and its people prospered and now that the tiller of the soil has come and shown us that we can raise as good crops as are raised in the states of fanning .reputation, something grander and more surprising stares us in the face of our future. The time is not very distant when we shall see the prairies which were heretofore covered with large herds of buffalo, cattle, sheep, and horses, owned by eastern capitalists, con verted into a garden spot made beau beautiful - tiful beautiful bv the hands and skillful brains . of the tillers of the soil. Over one thousand of homeseekers from all parts of this great country of ours have come here and established their :. future homes with hopes and promis promises - es promises of a great reward, during the past year. We want a class of farmers that have the necessary qualifications to make out of New Mexico a country as. great if not greater than Kansas. There has never been a new country ,' that has not experienced its ups and downs, the beginning is always a hard one. Roy today has a bright outlook for a complete water works system which is now in the course of construction, lacking only the laying of a pipe line in the streets and alleys of town. It is an assured fact' that a broom fac factory - tory factory will bebúilded here in the spring to consume the broom corn raised here. Concrete block works will be nut up by several of the leading busi ness men of the town, early nextspring if financial conditions are better by that time; as well as a local telephone which will connect with the long dis distant - tant distant lines. ' The prospects of making Roy the county seat of a new county are very srood. which will make it the business center in a thirty mile radius. Also another school building will soon be constructed which very likely will be on the west side. All these things are points of evidence which lead an faith in the future and ,J All v of greater Roy. No one will make a mistake by in vesting in town lots in Roy, as the town is built on a solid foundation; Ihe surrounding country is made up of a ...lass'of energetic, hustling people who rfi here to make this their-home; thus with its well established business firms and with its good educational facili facilities - ties facilities and well founded business houses it is bound to become the best town on the Dawson Railway.

First Andrews is well known in the Capitol and has all kinds of friends. Larrazola, has none, the first mention of his name would be hard to grasp by any of the members of the house C'f representatives, it would require time and study to get that right. Second Andrews is now well known all over the territory, the people know his ability and qualification to do things. Larrazola is a perfect failure he never has done any good for him himself - self himself much less for his own people. . Third Andrews election' will get us statehood; Larazolas election will set us back ten years which means that we will remain helpless that much longer, with no voice in Presidential election and territorial matters. Fourth Andrews today is the strongest man in the territory, this reputation he has won by getting things for the people of New Mexico. He obtained for old veterans $400,000 annual pensions and $200,000 for pub lie buildings, he obtained $.'10,000 for Irri yation congress, he obtained for the public schools of this territory over $10,000,000 worth of land, by the Land Lieu Bill. Mr. Larrazola, does not tell of all these things in his campaign. Fifth Andrews lost Bernalillo coun county - ty county about 1000 votes two years ago, now he will carry it almost solid, as even those who supported Larra.ola are now for Andrews.' The Albuquer que Sun, one Of the largest Democratic dailies published in the largest cities in New Mexico,' is supporting Andrews re-election. Larra.ola for the third time will sro down into defeat with the Presidential candidate Wm, J Brvan. . Larrazola is like a dish o. food warmed over once too often. . Sixth Andrews, is bound to be the next Delegate to Congress because the new ctmers wai.t MaUl.ctd ate the only way to get it .is to sena Andrews back to Washington. The are very much disgusted with fawe promises of the Democrats and tired, of the territorial form of government in its present conditions. Two' years ago these people had no voice in An Andrews - drews Andrews election and there are over 10,000 more new votes this election than that of the past. Andrews will win by the greatest majority ever given a delegate to congress in New Mexico and he will not only get the solid vote of the entire Republican party, he will be supported by one one-forth - forth one-forth of the democrats. Two years ago Larazola created quite a sympathy among his native voters ana manag ed to get thousand of votes from native Republicans who did not. vote for Andrews because he was a "Gringo". Larrazola managed to get that vote because he was a Mexican a-d today there are few who will vote for him, simply because he is a Mexican. . Farmer Attenton Prospects for a splendid crop of win winter - ter winter wheat was never better. With the soil in good shape and our Turkey Red seed wheat, (raised in dry Kansas) drilled in deep results are postive. We rent our Kentucky Press Wheel Drills at nominal charge. Floersheim Merc- Co. .
