LADIES CONTINUE
WORK AT CEMETERY

The ladies of the Alamogordo
Cemetery association inform us
that they feel that the Arbor
day program at the cemetery
was a decided success. A great
many children brought trees
which were planted and which
will in time help wonderfully in
the appearance of the cemetery.
They issued a general invitation
for the men to come out and
assist in cleaning the grounds
and the ladies did their part for
they took ample dinner. to serve
fifty but a lone little half-dozen
responded. Just think how well
was that half-dozen repaid for
their labors. Judge Mann de-
livered an address in the after
noon and Col. Edison responded
The ladies have set April II, as
the date of the next work day
and they urgently urge those

THE TOWN BOYS
PLAYED BALL

Sunday last the town team
and the Mexican boys played a
very interesting game of base
ball at the grounds northeast of
town. While the town boys had
decidedly the best of it from the
start the other fellows never lost
heart and really played a snap
pier game the last few innings
than at any other time. They
expect to have another game to-
morrow and as the Mexican boys
will have a new battery the
tables may turn. Last Sunday S
game ended with the score s to
3 in favor of the town team.

MANY IMPROVEMENTS
Town and Country Vie with Each Other
In the Good Work.
SEVERAL GOOD ORCHARDS PLANTED

This week we have taken a
little trouble to hunt up what
some of the local farmers and
towns men are doing in the way
of improving their places. Here
is a list of men who have order
ed trees from one nursery alone,
many of them have the trees
already planted and growing:
Guy Wadsworth, 300 trees,pears,
plums and Elberta peaches. He
also planted a nice assortment
of shrubs and ornamental trees
around the house. D. Burney,
25O peaches. S. Prather put out
13O mixed trees on his lots in
town. J. n. McFate has set his
back lots in fruit trees as has
also Lee Jones and Emery JOY.
Tom Murphrey and Jess Myers
have just finished planting ten
acres in pears, apples and peach
es, have also set out 1000 grapes
and 1000 strawberries. Eli Wine
sett has received his first ship
ment of 300 pear trees and will
in a few days receive the re-
mainder of an order for 1000
trees. Judge Wharton has set
out a number of young trees in
his lots, while Tommie Forester
is setting a big strawberry bed
and Manuel Najera has put 100
trees out in his yard. These are
only a few of the many and its
only about ) per cent Of the
mum Der that will be planted
next spring. What are you do
ing in the good work, lifting or
leaning?
The Alamogordo news. (Alamogordo, N.M.) 1899-1912, 1908-04-04

When setting trees, trim off
all bruised roots with a sharp
knife, leaving a smooth, clean
edge which will heal rapidly
and send out new feeding roots
in Il short time. A broken or
bruised root will decay and be a
damage to the tree. When a
tree has lost a portion of its
roots, a like proportion of the
top should be removed. If but
few of the roots have been re-
moved in being transplanted, it
will not be necessary to do more
than thin out the top and bal
ance the symmetry of the tree =

eY THEIR WORKS.

What man docs is the true test
OF his worth. In this connection we
uesire to say that the friends of the
State Normal Schools and the West
Virginia University have reason to feel
~ery grateful to the West Virginia
Legislators for their consideration for
the State schools. While in a way it
is hard to single out the men who did
the most in the matter of pushing the
bills giving recognition to Normal
School and University diplomas, we
think 1t Is due Senators Ashburn and
Kidd and Delegates Hartman. Jacobs
and Suthpin to say that they took ex-
traordinary interest in the bills.
Senator Ashburn introduced both bills
in the Senate and kept faithful watch
over them and pushed them just as
fast as he could ard Senator Kidd aid
ell the matter by vote and voice when
ever possible. In the House of Dele
sates Hartman "fathered" the Normal
School bill and Delegate Jacobs and
Delegate Suthpin stood by him 10y
ally. The friends of these schools GER
tainly do appreciate the work of these
men in pushing the bills which will
give the graduates of the State
schools immediate recognition. 1t is
firmly believed ny the educators of
the State that no ether one thing is
more important Just now in supplying
the State with competent teachers
than the passage of these bills. The
lay will give immediate value to the
diplomas and be much stronger In
centive to young mon and women to
stay in school and complete the
course Of study. In that way It will
not be many years until much great
or percentage of West Virginia teach
crT will be graduates of high grade
schools and thus he better equipped
for the duties OF their important work.

A GOOD OMEN.

The Charleston Mail makes the fol,
lowing very interesting observation:
"The united stand taken by the Re,
publican members of the house of
delegates yesterday, when House Bill
No. II. the bill to limit levies, was
open for amendments, predicts the
success OF the Republican party again
this fall and the welfare OF the State.
The party stood together on this i'm.
portant question better than they have
on any vote on the tax laws since the
sytem was adopted.
"It was because OF an oversight on
the part OF the last regular session in
falling to limit the levies that the
present session was made necessary,
and the passage of this law alone re-
pays many times the cost OF the ses-
sion, without counting the saving by
the county salary bill. which will be
shown later. This bill has been care
fully prepared, and will likely go
through the Senate with very few, II
any, changes"
