quakeS, Socorro continues Ia
show the grit and ambition of IT'S
citizens IN improvements in the
way of putting her streets aud
school houses i'll firSt-class coudi-

that 1t is all right, and that
there never has been anything
the matter with it and is among

The Roswell Commercial club
is taking up the matter of inter
esting the farmers of the Pecos
Valley in making denaturized
alcohol. This fluid can be made
very cheaply out of the wasted
apples, potatoes or vegetables of
any kind. Enough apples are
going to waste in the Pecos Val
ley this summer to make alcohol
sufficient to run ali the gasoline
engines in the valley. Denatured
alcohol is more deadly poison
than any other kind, and is used
only for fuel.
