1t has been definitely decided tc
have a dry farming convention in
Roswell this spring. The commercial
club is back of the movement and ma
ny prominent citizens and farmers are
interested. In order to take advantage
of the cheap rates on all roads leading
to this city at that time, the last
day of the Panhandle Cattlemen's
Convention, April Is, has been decid
ed upon as the day for the dry farm.
ing assembly. The place of meeting
has not yet been decided upon.
Several days ago Prof. J.. J. Vernon
n Prof. ]. D. Tinsley, of the Agri.
cultural College at Mesilla Park con
scented to come to the meeting and
address the farmers, and now word
has been received that H. w. Campbell
Father of the dry farming system,
Twill be here to deliver a talk on his
experience in this great work. Mr..
Campbell is now in the employ of the
Santa Fe railroad, distributing the
valuable information he has secured
in actual experience.
Every farmer in the Pecos Valley
should attend this meeting. The low
rates will give the farmers an oppOr-
tunity to come to Roswell at low cost,
as well as the cattlemen. There can
be two big conventions, as well as
one.

SPORTING GOSSIP


FROM NEW YORK.
New York, March Manager Clark
Griffith of the New York Leaguers,
accompanied by the eastern memb.
ers of the Highlanders' squad, left to
day for the training camp at Atlanta
Ga. Those who left here with Crit
fifth were George Moriarity. Willie
Keller, Happy jack C~hresbro. Wal.
ter Clarkson, Danny Hoffman. Ira
Thomas, Jack KIeinon and trainer
Jack Martin. Wild Coaroy will Join
the part at Philly, Jimmy Williams at
Washington and AL Orth at Lynch
burg, Va. Other members of the team
parts of the country, Hogg and Hugh
es from Pueblo, Colorado, Kid Elber-
field from Hot Springs, Arkansas;
Chase and Keefe from California;
Yeager from Delray, Michigan, Doyle
from Clay Center, Kansas; Laporte
from Ohio, Brockett from Norris City,
Illinois, Mcclure from Albion, Michi-
Castelton from Salt Lake City.
The Highlanders will arrive in the
camp at Atlanta tomorrow and will
remain there until April 6. Exhibit
ton games ave been arranged with
the Atlanta team of the Southern
league for March Is, Is, 20, 81, 30, 80
and April 5 and 6. The second team
will meet the Macon, Ga, team on
March % and %, the Richmond team
of Virginia league on April 5 and 6
and the Roanoke team On April s.
On the latter date the regulars will
play the Lynchburg, Virginia leagu-
ers. The closing games of the exhi-
bition season will be played on April
8 and 10, when the H~ighlanders will
meet Jack Dunn's Eastern league club
at Baltimore. The new pitchers, Hogg
Brockett, GARRISON and Doyle. will
DO most of the work during the ante
season, as both Orth and Chresbro
are warm weather twirlers and will
not be asked to let themselves out I'M
til the real American league battle
begins on April IL.
1t is a noteworthy fact hat among
the eight pitchers of the Highlanders
there is lot a single southpaw. 1t is
likely that Griffith will attempt to Sc
cure a left-handed twirler before the
season opens. An effort was made TO
buy Cast Patten, the famous southpaw
of the Washington Americans, but
the deal fell through.
Taken by and large. the Highlanders
are a nifty looking bunch and to a
man up a tree would appear to be like
ly c~ontenders for the rag. This state
ment is made with due regard to the
fact that doping baseball futures is a
risky business at best, and that the
victorious clubs are likely to put up
a stiff fight against all contenders.

THE COUNTY SCHOOL
SUPERINTENDENT

The objection that has been made
in some quarters to the placing of
the power to appoint county school
superintendent in the hands of the
Territorial Board of Education is
purely political. There isn't a man in
New Mexico of average intelligence
who doesn't realize the folly of pay
ing about $20.000 a year for county
school superintendent who are Who'll
ly incompetent to superiltend. True
we sometimes elect good superiltend-
ents. but there are three unqualified
men to every one qualified. Neither
does any one doubt if the appoint.
ments are left to the Territorial Board
that men who have la actual exper-
fence in school work will be appoint
ed and that much good will result.

istic doctrine of unanimous damna-

the true journalist should strive to
please the masses. This requires a
man of course, with similar charac-
