CLAUDE, N. M,
Editor Eagle:
I have been here moat a month
and have not yet received a copy of
the Groat Religious Weekly. I think
you must be sending it to the wrong
address, Claude is in Curry county,
New Mexico, I. want to know who
has moved, died, married or goine-
erazy. Send me especially that copy
which enumerate® the) -successful can-
didates in the primary.
It is rather dry her: now, though
this- is not very unusual here,
We have exlhif elating breezes
every day on these wind-swept plains
They change to mountain time at
Clovis. Our meals are two hours
late- here, I have not been used to
this procrastination and I aim always
hungry when the dinner belli rings-
I lhavo been steering a barge for
the last three days—not a barge
trimmed wiith purple and gold, with
silver tipped oars, like the one Cleo-
patra commanded Mien she captur-
ed Mark Anthony, hut a prairie barge
u-S“d to cafech the wheat after a head-
er. The binder is taken off of the
ordinary s'elf-binder, an elevator chut
with -slatted canvas on rollers raises
■the Ihead-s high enough to fall into
•the -barge. An ordinary wagon .is
coupled out long. Two great beams
are -chained under the axels and the
targe is constructed on these beams-
Thp e’nd-s are made solid and inclin-
ed, tih-e sides are slatted or poultry
netting is tacked cm, the floor -is
solid. Wheat is too short to cut-with
a binder. “Necesisi-t-y is the mother
of invention. ’ They raise a hard
wheat here. Last year many farm-
ers made 40 bushels to the acre. I:t
is estimated at 10 bushels this year
iSend my paper to Claude, N. M,
And in conclusion let me say to
th-e successful and defeated candi-
date's: ‘‘And finally brethren, what-
soever things are true, whatsoever
things are honest, whatsoever things
are just, whatsoever things a,re pure,
whatsoever things are lovely, what-
soever things are of good report, if
there be virtue or praise, think on
these things. ’ Respectfully,
W, H, WOOD
