ROY. NEW MEXICO-
PURE BRED SIRES NEEDED
TO IMPROVE RANGE HQRSE;
In travelling thru , New Mexr
ico, one cannot neip out De im
pressed by the number of light
horses to be found! on the ranges
and on the farms, says Professor
Burns of the New Mexico Agri
cultural College. The light horse
is common thruout the west and
has served its purpose admirably
in the past an d will undoubtedly
continue to do so for general
ranch work. The number o de
sirable saddle horses, however,
is decreasing yearly, this being
due to a lack of interest in the
constructive breeding of this ty
pe of horse.
Twenty years ago a great
many men, many oí them 01
English descent, came into the
western Btates to engage in the
cattle business, and many of
them did much to improve the
native saddle horses by introduc
ing thorobred and standard bred
blood. This interest in the breed
ing of saddle horses had declin
ed in recent years, but ranchmen
might well again take greater
interest in this line of work, for
the day of the ranch horse is not
yet gone.
The horses generally used for
ranch work usually weigh from
ten to twelve hundred pounds
and this type is usually found to
be better suited for general work
than the heaviér draft type, that
weigh from 15 to 17 hundred lbs
All horses on the range, however
are not of a desirable type but
much can be done by the com
paratively easy process of grad
ing up the herd with a purebred
sire of medium weight. A med
ium weight stallion may be ob
tained at a very moderate price
from middle western breeders
who do not desire a light horse,
their need being for a stallion
weighing at least 1800 pounds,
and preferably more. If a ranch
man has over 50 head of horses,
the purchase of a purebred stall
ion should be a highly paying in
vestment as a decided improve
ment in the colt crop should be
evident, even after the first gen
eration. While horses have been
selling at very low prices the
past few years, there is little
doubt that they will again soon
advance to a price where they
can again be raised at a profit,
and the well bred horse will be
at a better price. The colt crop
will also be materially higher
when a stallion is available to
run with the herd during the en
tire breeding period.

Plainview, Texas, Sept., 1st,
Big crowds of deleates from all '
towns on the Texas-New Mexico
Highway are expected to attend
the second annual convention of
the highway at Roy, New Mex
ico, September 25 and 26. One
of the largest crowds ever in
eastern New Mexico attended
! the first annual convention at
I Legan and the attendance at Roy
is expected to greatly exceed
1 that at Locan. In addition, to a
business program of much im
portance, there will be speaking
by men of state and national im
portance. The citizens ' of the
live-wire town of Roy are also
planning some good entertain
ment for the delegates.
It is certain that the attend
ance from the New Mexico towns
on the route will be heavy and
Texas towns will likewise be
well represented. Hereford, Di
mmitte, and Plainview are all
making plans to help represent
the Lone Star State. Many out-of-state
visitors will go from
Roy to Taos to attend the Indian
celebrations. The resort areas
of New Mexico are finding much
favor among the people of Texas
and the new Texas-New Mexico
Highway is providing them the
shortest route to the resort 'area
This new highway t.. tends from
Plainview, 'lexas, to Taos, New
''ladeo. - At Plainview it con
nects with the F. F. F. and the
Puget Sound to Gulf highways,
which lead into the editors of
rxipulaticn in the Southwest.
The northwestern end at Taos is
in the center of one of the most
scenic parts of the nation. Tra
vel over the route has been limit
ed this year because some short
stretches were in very bad con
dition. By next summer, the
entire route will be in good con
dition and ready for tourist tra
vel. Plans for extensively ad
vertising the highway will be
made at the convention st Rov.
It is expected that there will
be a spirited fight at Rcy for the
1923 convention of the associa
tion.

To ThQ Republican Voters
of Harding County
We invite you to join' us1 In seeking from the coming state convention of our par
ty the nomination of Stephen B. Davis as Republican candidate, for United States
senator. " '
' We respectfully submit to you the following practical consideration which con
vince us that Judge Davis is the strongest candidate our party can choose:
For nearly twenty-five years' Judge Davis ha3 lived in Las Vegas?, San Miguel
county, which is also the home of Senator A. A. Jones, who will be the democratic
nominee. As' against a republican candidate from another county and another sec
tion of the state Senator Jones, by reason of his long residence and personal acquain
tance, will inevitably make some inroads into Republican majorities in this faction
of New Mexico and will command a substantial portion of the independent vote of
the district. 'v" ; .
Judge Davis will receive not only the full republican vote of hto home . county,
the largest in our state, out of which he will come with the largest majority ever
given a Republican candidate, but he will also receive similar majorities in the Repu
blican counties of Mora, Guadalupe, Colfax, Rio Arriba and Taos, and, by reason of
his acquaintance and personal popularity with the people he will carry by substantial
majorities' such counties as Union, San Juan, and others which in recent elections
have been fighting ground. .
Wé submit that this support, which he will unquestionably receive, is sufficient
to insure his election, even should he receive no more than normal republican majori
ties in other sections of New Mexico.
Although an active and useful member of the Republican pai ty throughout his
twenty-four years of residence in New Mexico, Judge Davis has never been involved
in any factional differences in or out of his1 home county which could militate against
his success as a candidate. Without wavering in his party loyalty he has maintained
a liberality of view and an independence of action that mark him as a man of coura
geous character.
Judge Davis came to New Mexico twenty-four years ago with a degree from the
Yale law school--and nothing else but a determination to make his way. By sheer
ability and unwavering integrity he has won his way to the top of hisi profession, and
has left a record on the way of steadily increasing usefulness both as private citizen
and public officer. His record and his qualifications will command him to the whole
people of New Mexico.
These are practical reasons which prove the wisdom of nominating Judge Davis
for the senate. Without reflection upon the qualifications or trespassing upon the
claims of any other candidate for the nomination, we repeat our conviction that Judge
Davis is the strongest candidate for senator our party can nominate, that his nomina
tion will mean at once his election and increased majorities for our entire state and
congressional ticket, and that when elected his service to our state will be of the
highest order and greatest usefulness
In choosing a senatorial candidate the purpose of our party is to elect a republi
can senator from New Mexico. Judge Davis can and will be elected. We ask your co
operation in enlisting the support of your county convention and of the delegates it
will choose to our state convention, for the nomination of Judge Davis. '

No other word in any langu

"Mother" has such a grip on the
human heart as the word 'Home'
It is a symbol that should bring
to mind a pirture of the dearest,
sweetest, most sacred spot on
earth. At the bottom of all a
man's hopes, is his dream of wife
and children and home. The
ideal home comes nearest of any
thing else to his idea of heaven,
a place where the mind finds
peace, serenity, calmness, quiet,
joy, recuperation, refreshment,
renewal. The ideal home Í3
where ideal living, or that which
comes nearest ideal living, is
found on earth. It is a place for
renewing our youth, renewing
our strength, renewing our cour
age, renewing our faith, our af
1 fections. It is where the Christ
spirit dwells the spirit of the
Golden Rule.
