Strikes A Rich Find.

chronic indigestion and de-.
bility," writes Il. j. Green of Lancas-

l began using Electric Bitters, which
did me more good than all the medi-
cines l ever used. They have also kept
my wife III excellent health for years.
She says Electric Bitters are justsplen-
did for female troubles; that they are
a grand tonic and invigorator for weak,
run down women. No other medicine
can take its place in our family" Try
them. Only SOC. Satisfaction guaran-

new PRESIDENT OF
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
Professor Clinton D. Smith, Director of the
Michigan Agricultural Experiment
Station is Chosen by the Regents.
RENOWNED SPECIALIST And EDUCATOR
Special to the New Mexican.

Special to the New Mexican.
Las Cruces, July 10.-The board O.
regents of the New Mexico College O.
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts las
evening elected Clinton D. Smith, the
present director of the Michigan expe
riment station, as president of the col
lege and director of the agricultural ex
pertinent station. Professor Smith is an
international authority on sugar beet
culture, and his work the past severa
years In Michigan has resulted in the
establishment OF number n beet sugar
factories. He Is also we'll known as q
lecturer. Professor Smith is however
first of all, man of scholarly attain.
ments, and seems to be just the right
man to be at the head of New Mexico's
! leading college.
Professor Smith was present in Las
Cruces yesterday and preceding days and
was interviewed by the members OF the
board. He is man with reputation.
Born and raised on farm, and educated
in one of the leading institutions of agri-
cultural training in the country-Cor-
nell University, his early training pre-
pared him for the responsible positions
he has filed. Graduating from Cornell
in 1873 he assisted the director of that
institution in his work for some years.
Later he was elected director of the
Minnesota experiment station, professor
of dairy husbandry in the University of
Minnesota, director of the Arkansas
experiment station, and director OF the
Michigan experiment station In success
sion, in all Of which positions his work
has been eminently successful and char
acterized by striking results. He is we'll
known throughout the. country for his
numerous addresses to farmers insti-
tutes and similar gatherings, in which
line of work he is particularly strong.
As man he is energetic, enthusiastic
and o tireless worker. His election as
president of New Mexico's leading edu-
cational institution means much to the
college and to the territory, for 1T can
not but result in bringing the work of
the college and station more closely in
touch with the people of the territory
and gaining their sympathy and inter-
ests.
Besides transacting regular routine
business the board provided for the pur-
chase of some rare and valuable books
relating to New Mexico and its history,
to be placed in the library Of the institu-
tion. 1t is rapidly coming to be recog-
nized as fact that the library of the
college at MesilIa park is growing to be-
come one of the largest and best in the
southwest. Numerous and material ad-
ditions are being made to 1t this year.
Major Wilson, of the Roswell Military
Institute, paid the college visit on
Monday last going through the various
departments. He was accompanied by
two of the cadets from his institution,
and was much interested in the growth
and work of the college.
