There are two young sons Of New
Mexico, one in the army and one in
the navy of the United States, Of whom

be proud. The parents of the two
young men are Colonel William A.
Glassford of the Signal Corps OF the
United States Army aud Mrs. Alice
Glassford nee Alice Davis, formerly OF
this city and later OF Las
Vegas. If occasion ever arises,
the New Mexican is SURG that
these young officers will ac-
quit themselves with the greatest OF
gallantry and act in true soidierly
spirit and with genuine American man
hood. Their parents are too well and IA
vorably known in New Mexico and spe-
cially in the Capital and in the Mea.
dow City to be. given extended notice
here. Colonel Glassford is one Of the
most accomplished, energetic and eff.
cient officers in the army Ee has
seen much active service, has served
not only in many parts OF the United
States but also in Porto Rico ard In
the Philippine Islands. He was sta

Good Wagon Road is Being
Built From Alamogordo
to Jarilla.

John r. DeMier, prominent citizen
OF Alamogordo, arrived in the city last
evening on visit to Judge and Mrs.
John R. McFie. To a representative
Of the New Mexican, Mr.. DeMier stated
that many settlers and homesteaders
were arriving in Alamogordo and that
many homestead entries in the vicinity
of that beautiful little town have been
made Of late. Water is found at a
depth, say from 20 to 100 feet, and
there is no difficulty in raising a sufii'
cient water supply for the irrigation OF
farms, by pumping with wind-mills,
both the wind and water supply there
being constant and reliable. 1t has
been demonstrated that the soil is very
fertile and that large crops OF the
cereals and fruits of the temperate
Zone can be raised in the country about
Alamogordo successfully and profit
ably. In fact, the fruit Of that Sec
| ton cannot be excelled anywhere in
New Mexico and it is we'll known that
New Mexico fruit is the best on the
American continent, in flavor, in ap-
lpearance and in size.
There is no boom in Alamogordo, but

traffic in Nebraska is somewhat de.

Christiana, Norway, March 3.-Sev-
eral steamers which were dispatched
to Jaesl and Ingerna Islands from
Trondhjem to the assistance OF the
fishing fleet which met with disaster
in violent storm have returned and
report that large numbers of the feet

President w.
S. Hopewen Says
Report Untrue.
TO COMPLETE LINE SOON
Negotiations Under Way to
Extend Road to Albu-
querque and Roswell.

"The statement in the press dispat-
ehes this morning to the effect that
the Goulds or the Tallmadges had
bought the Santa Fe Central Railway,
is without foundation"
This statement was made at noon
today by Colonel w. s. Hopewell who
arrived from Albuquerque. In addi-
-tion, Colonel Hopewell said that the
sale of the railway was not under con-
sideration.
General Torrance and Senator Ken
nedy have negotiations under way at
present for the completion Of the line
to Albuquerque and the coal fields In
Sandoval County," he said. "The road
will also be extended to Roswell"
Employees Of the railway company
in the Offices in this city, said that they
had received no information regarding
the reported sale of the line. They
were disposed to doubt the authentic
ity OF the report.
Following is the associate Press dis

IN THE FESTIVE SEASON..
Many Things One Can Do to Make
Others Glad.

There is something radically wrong
the spirit of the times when the as
sertion is made: 81 don't care about
Christmas and / wish the fuss was
all over" 1t always hurts me to
hear such a statement and | wish
had the power to restore the true
meaning of this blessed festival. If
we could or would only get away from
the give and take" theory with which
nearly every one seems imbued and
remember that Luther said even in
his remote day that the heart of
the giver makes the gift dear and
precious" II we could only learn to
be satisfied with doing within our
means, so that the joys of Christmas
would not be clouded by the dread of
those fast approaching January bills"
The Christmas post card has be-
come most helpful factor in spread
ing 1.-The glad tidings of great joy"
and this seasons productions are
delight. The ones specially for chill
dren with Santa Claus descending
the chimney and speeding over snow
clad hills with his eight tiny rein
deer are really fascinating.
A young woman who has a desire
to do far more than her purse will
permit confided to me this scheme for
remembering large number OF indi-
viduals who are obliged to live in
Homes" and other institutions. She
said she thought 1t must be most dis
heartening to have the postman pass
by with no mail for them on Christ
mas day so she has obtained the
names of the very friendless ones and
addressed souvenir card to be de-
livered on the 25th. This is sure
ly delightful thing to do, and hope
many who read this will avail them
selves of the suggestion.
Let us endeavor to make this holi-
day season more of a real pleasure
and less of what Hopkinson Smith
says it has become. "a social clear
ing house for the swapping of gifts"

Training in Citizenship.

II you intend to be q politician OF
the right kind, you must begin to pre-
pare yourself now by reading the
newspapers. No future citizen will
ever amount to much who pores over
dime novels and sensational stories.
and lets newspapers pass him by.
The daily press gives us the story of
the great world in which we live. A
good newspaper is worth as much IN
the education you are getting as your
lexicon, your algebra or your Latin
text book. The world is closely knit
together, and the politics and finance
deal to do with what may be going on
thousands of miles away in another
part of the globe.
Unless you are contented to be lg-
norant and narrow and prejudiced, you
will listen to the talk that goes on
about you, and you will sometimes go
with your father or uncle to a polit-
ical meeting.
The future citizen should, on the
whole, be party man, for the reason
that parties stand for principles. In
country like ours, there are always
two great patriotic parties with good
men on both sides, and sometimes one
holds the balance Of power and some
times the other
Does it not seem pity that Ameri.
tages and who look up with so much
admiration at our glorious flag when
1t floats from the roof of the church
or the schoolhouse, should grow up
to take very little personal interest in
the government of which that flag is
the symbol.
Study your United States history
Study it with care. See how it strikes
deep roots into the soil. Look how 1t
reaches back into the history OF ma
tons that have gone before it. In
days to come, there are many prob
lens that this land of ours will have to
face. There are difficulties in front of
us that will call for the greatest wis.
dom. You boys are preparing your
selves now for the contests that will
be carried on to successful issue,
and will be settled, not by your ia
theirs and grandfathers, but by your
selves.
Every boy should have his ideal
hero, whom he should initiate and fol.
low. Remember that the heroes are
not all dead. A good many of them
are alive. They are in the van fight
ing for freedom as strongly and in
tensely as those did who are peace.
! fully lying in hallowed graves to-day.
Have your heroes. Shout for them
when the time comes. Wear their
names on badges and treasure them in
your hearts. No boy will be worth
much to his country who is not a hero
worshiper, who does not value free
dom and who is not looking forward
with eager anticipation to the day
when he, too, with other men, shall
have vote.
