TO Appear Soon

W. F. Castle, of Stanley passed
through Estancia on last nights train
and made pleasant call at the News
Office. Mr.. Castle is making a trip
looking for material with which to be-
gin the publication of the Stanley Index
In the near future, He was on his way
to Alamogordo and Ell Paso. The Index
will be four page five column sheet,
allhome print. Mr.. Castle realizes that
he will have uphill work at the beginning,
but is willing to give the paper hard
work, for the sake of getting in on
the ground floor. He is an experienced
printer and will make good. The peo-
pie in the immediate vicinity of Stanley
should and no doubt will, give the Index
the deserved support, as nothing can
help the growth and assure the future
Of Stanley more than wide-awake
and literally patronized newspaper.

Commencement
in their ruin

The annual play Shakespeare's "Love's
Labor Lost", entirely by the students of
the University under the direction of
John H. Crum, Professor Of Eloeution and
Oratory, took place Tuesday evening,
April % at the Elks' Opera House. An
audience filling the theatre was evidence
Of the popularity of these performances
by the young men and young women.
This years effort was in no wise inferior
to those of previous years. Good scenery
and costumes from abroad lent dignity
and tone. The speeches and bearing Of
the performers showed thorough study
and careful training. Harriet K. Davis as
Princess of France and Beatrice Tascher,
Lady attending played their parts especi-
ally well, while Ralph Tasehsr and Kirk
Bryan as King Of Navarro and Gentleman
attending did exceptionally good work.
The proceeds of that play will be applied
to paving of the deficit Of the athletic
season,

Santa f6 Boosters
are 6OIning

General Manager S. B. Grimshaw of
the Santa Fe Central Railway is ar
ranging for business mems excursion
to be run from Santa Fe to Willard
some time in the early part of May,
says the New Mexican. A very low
rate will be made in order to induce
every business establishment of this
city TO take advantage of the trip. Re-
garding the excursion Mr.. Grimshaw
today said:
1--WE intend to stop at every station
along the route long enough to visit
and shake hands with all the business
men in each of the towns along the line.
! believe the excursion will prove to be
of benefit to the business interests of
Santa Fe as well as those in the Val
ley. Very few of Santa Fe's business
men have been in the valley since it be-
come settled and therefore they have
no idea what is there. The business
interests of this city and those of the
Estancia Valley along the Santa Fe
Central are mutual and the sooner we
get acquainted with each other the bet.
ter"
Mr.. Grimshaw addressed a letter to |
the Board of Trade of this city asking |
their cooperation in order to make the |
excursion success. Without any
doubts the organization will very likely
take action at their next meeting. A
long with the excursion there will very |
likely be one or more bands of music
and other amusements.

will take this opportunity of visiting

To Make tf6 Homes MOPe Bedutl1u|

tChas. De Bremond in Farm and Ranch
The growing of plants and flowers,
shrubs and trees, the play of selection,
combination and application, form one
of the most pleasurable of occupations,
rich in resulting beauty, happiness and
healthfulness. The dominant object of
our work should be to enhance home
surroundings, and this object is attrac-
lively accomplished by composing into
apleasing effect, lawns, flowers, shrubs,
and trees of all kinds. Each man has an
ideal of home and it is rarely that one
is entirely satisfied with what neigh
Dor has done in such matters.
The cost of these luxuries is matter
of forethoIght on the part of the indi-
vidual at the beginning, in the planning
of the work and the actual material to
be used in Identifying the grounds al
most always can be had for the gather
ing. A few packages Of flower seeds,
selecting mostly among perennials,
few bulbs and 900 good Seeding shade
trees will cost only four to FIVE dollars.
Planted in nursery on the farm and from
there two years later transplanted into
their final position, the trees will add
hundreds of dollars to the value of a
farm and to the owners comfort. 1t is
not question of money nor can it be
done in a day-it is question of thou

there is not quorum at any such regular
meeting when vote is to be had upon
the admission of any new member or
members, then said election shall be de-
ferred until the next regular meeting Of
the Board, or until such time as Quorum
can be secured; that any such applicants
shall be declared elected and become
member Of the Estancia Board Of Trade
if majority Of the members present at
any such regular meetings Of the Board
shall vote for the admission of such ap-
plicant or applicants, provided, such ap-
plicant or applicants have accompanied
their application for membership with the
initiation fee of $500.
The time for the next regular meeting
of the Board of Trade is next Tuesday
night, but on account of that being the
regular meeting night of the Republican
Club, it has been decided to hold the
meeting on Wednesday night instead.
The members of the Board are supplied
with application blanks and are at work
securing the applications and initiation
fees of all who are interested in seeing
Estancia keep her place as the leading
city of the valley.
That there should have been any disa-
greement is to be regretted, but the peo-
pie of Estancia realized atonce that there
must be no factions, but that all must
pull together for a greater Estancia, and
each was willing and ready to meet the
other half way. Everybody is satisfied
with the present arrangement and will
work for Estancia first, last and always.

The home should form jewel of which
the scenery in the immediate surround

it is drapery. Do not make the farm
house merely permanent camp where
convenience will be only grade better
than at the round up or sheep camp.
The barns should be quite distant from
the house. 1t will require more steps to
reach them, but there will be less dust,
less danger from fire and fever flies for
the home. Trees between the house and
che barn make the distance look shorter
Have the barns of a uniform aspect. Do
not mix adobe, board and batten, rock
and cement. Keep them nicely painted
If placed near the middle of the farm it
will save considerable time.
Plant trees around the barn and sta

A few trees planted close together will
also come into good service to hide un-
slightly objects. In a new country like

the adornment of farm has naturally
received very little attention. But the
time has come now when we should give
