Carlsbad Girls
Plan Campaign
WILL WAGE LIVELY WAT
AGAINST BAcHELoRHooD
DURING LEAP YEAR.

Young married men of Carlsbad,
New Mexico. have been marked for
the slaughter. The young women Of
that town do not take Leap Year as
a joke and are seriously preparing for
campaign against single-blessed.
ness among the men friends which
will be actively carried out during
1904.
Filled with the single purpose OF
discouraging old-maiiism and encour-
aging h0me-making, these enterprising
young women have organized the
Carlsbad Leap Year Association"
adopted a constitution and bylaws
and set forth with the ayowed purpose
Of landing at least a part of the ELI
gible male population of Carlsbad be-
fore the years end. The Carlsbad
Argus, which is authority for the
facts above mentioned, says:
Leap year has always been the occa-
sion Of much jesting in regard to the
campaign of the young ladies upon
the eligible bachelors, but It will come
as something of a surprise to know
that the young men Of Carlsbad and
vicinity have been marked for the
slaughter and a systematic campaign
arranged for 1904.
An attache of the Argus yesterday
found a DAINTY little minute book con-
tanning the records of the last meet
ing of the carlsbad Leap Year Asso-
~ciation.' It seems that the young la
dies composing the club were of the
mind that there should be a concerted
action in favor of fewer old maids and
accordingly compared notes and drew
up a list of subjects, with guiding
notes for those who have not lived
here long enough to know the parties.
While, as found property, It would
not be right to disclose all OF the con-
tents of the minute book, 1t is a great
temptation, and the Argus hopes that
the young lady who has charge OF the
book will hurry up and call for it.
IA list of the young men is appended
In the Argus article, with the follow
ing key. AS the names OF leading
young men OF Carlsbad are published,
the article doubtless made a hit:

INSTRUMENTATION shown in recent
speech at Montreal. saturday, in Il
statement given to the press, hits back
ut his critics.
He claims that the militia has been
grossly interfered with by party poll
ticians. He alleges that important
parts of his reports for 1902 and 1903
were wrongfully suppressed by the
minister of militia, contrary to his
wishes; he indeed charges Sir Freder-
lex Borden with falsehood in the House
OF Commons.
He shows that the militia has been
greatly neglectcd-that it lacks all that
l.; necessary to make it efficient. The
great Northwest. he POINTS out. is left
dcfcnceless, without even n gun. AS
regards preparation for war and readi-
ness to resist aggression, the people of
Canada are living in a fools paradise.
