NEW MEXICO.
Chicago, Sept. 9: New Mexico can
be counted safely in the Republican
column for national, congressional
and state candidates—but that isn’t
going to prevent us from working our
hardest to get out every possible Re
publican vote.
This appraisal of the situation was
made today by Praeger Miller, Re
publican State Commiteeman there,
when he visited National head
quarters.
“Bankers, business men, investors,
taxpayers and farmers in my state,”
said Mr. Miller, have hardly regained
their equilibrium since the disastrous
deflation of the last administration.
They have not forgotten the Wilson
vetoes of the emergency tariff bill and
the bill to revive thp War Finance
Corporation in 1920.
“Had these measures been speedily
enacted when the emergency of 1920
arose thousands of farmers and
bankers throughout the west would
have been saved from financial dis
aster. Put the bills were rejected and
the financial disaster came in the
liquidation that followed in the wake.
“The liquidation of the farms and
ranches of the west destroyed the
collateral of the banks and brought
unprecedented poverty and suffering
or. the people. Since the Republican
Administration came into power in
1921 prices on all products of New
Mexico have been gradually increas
ing. Businessmen and fanners
t .oughout the state, in many in
stances regardless of party affiliation,
feel that the country will be safely
and sanely managed by Coolidge and
Dawes. To replace President Coolidge
with either of the other presidential
candidates would be the most colossal
blunder ever made by the producers
of the nation. Things are good. They
are getting better. A change could
not help but make a disturbance. Why
change?”
Mr. Miller who is a dirt farmer was
or.e of a committee dispatched by the
farmers and business men of the west
to Washington in 1920 to urge on the
Democratic president the prompt sig
nature of the emergency tariff law and
the War Finance board revival. The
committee tailed in its effort.
UNCLE EZRA SAYS:
Coolidge was nominated by the
people—not by the politicians—let’s
have the election the same way.
* * *
Every mother admires the rugged
honesty of Coolidge—his life always
has been and is today an inspiration
to the youth of the land.
* * *
The welfare of the nation needs
'•lean and clear thinking—don't Rus
sianize our country.

EMMET INVINCIBLES
DEFEAT SHAMROCKSj
The Emmet Invincibles came down
from the west last Sunday and gave
the Shamrocks a “trimming” 7 to 4

shynski and Ford.
Two sons of Bob Ford, the O'Neill
catcher, were playing on the Emmet
team and considerable rivalry was
apparent between father and sons. The
sons, however, had the laugh on “dad”
this time.

CELEBRATE GOLDEN
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
Just fifty years ago last Sunday Mr.
and Mrs. John Moler, of this city, were
united in marriage. That the occasion
might be appropriately observed their
children arranged a celebration in
honor of the event which was held at
the old home place sixteen miles north
Nebraska—
The Conquered Desert
Napoleon of France needed some ready
cash in 1804, and thinking that this part of
the country would never amount to much,
•old the territory containing Nebraska to
Uncle Sam.
A* late as 1858, the North American
Review spoke of the territory west of
Omaha as a “vast desert which can be
crossed, if at all, with camels.”
But as a desert, Nebraska has not been
much of a success. Today the average
annual value of the crops from the state’s
fertile fields, exceeds $400,000,000, not to
mention the state’s factory output of more
than $600,000,000.
Nebraska is growing steadily and re
requires more and more local and long
distance telephone service. At the present
rate of Nebraska’s growth, we must spend
about three-fourths of a million dollars
annually for new telephone facilities in
this state.
In' order to provide for the growing
demands for telephone service, vast sums
of money must be constantly obtained from
investors. Nearly half a million people
already own Bell System stock or bonds.
We shall be pleased to have you, also, as an
Investor in the business. Any telephone
employee will gladly give you full infor
mation about Bell stock or bonds, or call
our Manager.
A* Nebraska prospers, the telephone is
successful. Therefore, we constantly strive
to provide reliable telephone service at the
lowest possible chargee consistent with reason
able wages to employees and a fair return on
the money Invested In the business.

page of the announcement appeared
the following poetry written with a
typewriter:
Home was never home before
’Till the baby came.
Love no golden jewels wore,
’Till the baby came.
There was joy, but now' it seems
Dreams were not such roasy dreams,
’Till the baby came.
Home was never really gay,
’Till the baby came.
I’d forgotten how to play,
’Till the baby came.
Smiles were never half so bright,
Troubles never half so light,
Worry never took to flight,
’Till the baby came.
Home was never half so blest,
’Till the baby came.
Lacking something that was best,
’Till the baby came.
Kisses were not half so sweet,
Love not nearly so complete,
Joy had never found our street,
’Till tihe baby came.
