THE WORK OF THE

During its little less than twenty
six years of successful work in the
United States The Salvation Army
has clearly demonstrated the fact
that it mas a specific and very impor-
tant mission to fulfill in reclaiming
the lost, rescuing the outcast. lifting
the fallen and ministerilg to the bod
les as well as to the souls of men.
In fact, The Army seems to have a
sphere of usefulness and philanthropy
peculiarly its own in that its emf

ter Commander Eva Booth leader of
The Army's operations in this coun-

Practicing daily self-denial, these

Manurinq the Orchard.

The production of heavy crops of
apples, peaches or other fruit is a Sc
we're draft on the vigor of the trees
and they need a richness of soil to
help them TO respond to the de-
mands that the growers put on them.
Sowing. crimson clover. alfalfa, COW
pears or other plants that will come
up quickly and be ready to turn under
in early fall is one way of putting
hUmus in the soil. Maluring is an
otner way. The last way may be done
any time during the winter. Plenty
of stable or feeding yard manure will
help the trees to do their fruiting and
keep the soil full of tree food. Do
not throw manure close up to the
trees. Scatter it evenly with a
spreader or fork over the orchard be-
tween the trees and the cultivator and
rain will help get it into the soil. Go
over the orchard two or three times
if the work is done in the spring or
in summer. in preference to giving a
neavy dressing once. More benefit
will be had from the manure by this
method.-EX.

Arrangements for public decoration
for the big cattlemen's convention,
April 16 II, and 18 are going ahead
rapidly under the supervision of the
committee that is now in charge, com
posed of S. P. Denni1g, Oliver Nelson
and David Shapiro. There are to be
five big arches and definite plans have
been made for three of them
The first arch to be passed under
by all the comers will be at Fifth st.
crossing. This will be in the form of
a triple arch, large opening in the
center, f1anked on either side by a
smaller one. At the top will be an
immense camp kettle, with living fire
under 1t. On each side and above
the smaller arches will be two i'm
me1se Chuck wagons, filled with
''chuck box, rolls of bedding and other
articles Indicative of a round up"
THESE wagons will advertise also the
Roswell Hardware Company and w.
P. Lewis Hardware Company. On
each side of the kettle will be a sad
die, advertising the two saddle and
harness houses of Roswell. The rest
of the arch will be devoted to adver-
tisi1g the three lumber yards of Ros-
we'll. These ads make the arch pos
sible.
An arch of freshly baled hay will
span one of the crossings
The Carpenters union will build one
arch.
The other arches are yet to be plan
ned, or given out to persons that may
desire to take them.

Mrs, Wilkins Not Jealous.

Mrs. Maggie Wilkins, who has had
Dennis Burnett arrested as told in
the Record yesterday, for obtaining
and keeping a ring under false preten-
ses, called at the Record office this
morning to make a statement for pub
lication. In yesterdays Record it was
stated that Burnett claims the ar
rest is the result of jealousy. Mrs.
Wilkins stated this morning that the
ring over which the trouble arose
was loaned to Burnett for a certain
length of time and when she, Mrs.
wilkins went to get the ring it was
gone and that she did not know it
had been given to another young wo-
man. Therefore, she reasons, it was
not a case of jealousy.
