SOME MORE SMALL FARMS
The Demand For Small Places Requires
Additional Subdivision.
EIGHTY ACRES WILL Be LAID OUT

The demand for small farms
Of from three to ten acres seems
to be unabated and recent arriv-
ais and numerous inquiries indi-
cate an increased demand for
these small farms. To meet
this demand several owners
have already subdivided tracts
of from 10 to 100 acres and as
the majority of these have been
disposed of, new tracts will be
opened up. The latest addition
to AlamogOrdo's small farm col
onies will be the subdivision of
eighty acres of the Thomas For
roster place, situated on the
county road and just north of
the city limits of Alamogordo.
This land is without doubt the
very best in the entire Alamo
gordo valley, being on the be-
| ginning Of the gentle slope ap-
preaching the mountain and also
directly on the irrigation ditch
that brings the water from La
Luz to Alamogordo.
The soil on the Forester place
possesses that able quality
Of sandy loan that produces
such wonderful crops and never
has the tendency to "dobe" OF
bake that is common to other
less favorable locations. AS a
location for fruit, berries and
/ melons the Forester place has
no equal and the chances are
that the 80 acres that Mr.. For.
roster will place on the market
will not remain unsold very
long.
In addition to the irrigation
ditch the plans for subdivision
will ably include the sink,
ling of drilled we'll and install.
ing complete irrigation pump.
ing plant for the tract. All Of
which is only helping to prove
the assertion that ten acres thor,
oughly and intelligently farmeG
is better by far that the average
effort upon the 160-acre claim.

State Enrolled.
NEXT MEETING TO Be APRIL FOURTH

In spite of threatening sky,
Washington's birthday, noon,
found a goodly number of loyal
sons and daughters Of the Buck
eye state in the park, where all
old-fashioned picnic dinner con-
tributed to day of sociability
and friendship.
After dinner thirty names
we're enrolled and an organiza-
ton effected by the election of
W. G. Rickets as president, and
DIR. lone Hulett as secretary
treasurer. The following work
ing committee was appointed:

Messrs. C.S. Foust and A. B.
Ollie.
The speakers of the day were
W. G. Ricketts,, George b. Da-
Wis and Rev. H. Z. Mann. 1t
was generally agreed that next
to New Mexico, no state or ter
ritory is quite so good as Ohio, a
recent discovery proving the
Garden of Eden to have been To-
Gated in that commonwealth.
But Ohio has not the climate
Alamogordo has, and if the Ala
mogordo Ohioans do their duty,
in few years half Of Ohio will
want to come to AlamogOrdo.

hold the next meeting in the

PLANS OF GREAT SHIPS.
Two Of Ponderosity Type Will Soon
Be Started.

Designs for the two new battleships
authorized at the last session Of Con-
gress probably will be completed and ap-
proved by September 10. The plans for
the vessels are now being completed in
the light OF the developments Of the re-
cent conference OF naval officers at New
port. Some suggestions Of changes were
made at that conference and the changes
now are being incorporated in the de-
signs. 1t is said that the changes are
not radical, but. in the view Of the naval
constructors, are material to the new
ships.
Upon completion of the plans they will
be submitted to President Roosevelt for
approval. and it Is expected that by the
middle Of September proposals for the
construction of one of the ships will be
advertised for. The other ship is to be
constructed at the Brooklyn navy yard
by the government. Pending completion
and approval Of designs for the ships,
which will be Identical. no work will be
done at the Brooklyn navy yard in
preparation for the construction Of the
vessel which Is to be built there This
ship will be the Florida. Her sister ship.
the Utah. will be constructed at some
private yard.
The main battery Of the new ships Is
giving the Navy Department concern. A
strong effort il being made to induce the
authorities to equip the vessels. in their
1t is not improbable that this caliber of
gun will be selected. although it - urged
that the life OF guns of that caliber is
comparatively SO brief as to render the
adoption of SO heavy a gun as unWar-
ranted by all experience.

Plain Of Marathon.

From the London Chronicle.
Since Lord Byron was offered the plain
of Marathon for E9O0 an extravagan
price except to all antiquary-it has done
nothing to redeem it's character for dreari-
ness and desolation. According to a re-
cent traveller. even the children and the
beggars with coins and pieces Of pottery
are absent. eve asked the herdsman.
he says, FOR remnants of arms or pieces
of money: he had seen such things picked
up, but knew nothing OF their value. "
Probably he knew less of the decisive
battle. the scene Of which was year OF
two ago definitely located by group OF
Prussian officers. One remembers with
an uneasy feeling that there were only l92
heroes disposed Of at this great battle
but the Athenians had the literary gift
and knew how to take care OF the repu.
tation Of their race. It is curious to re.
elapsed since Greece took the trouble to
explore Soros-the mound beneath which
lie the bones Of the slain-and thus place
beyond the reach Of doubt the fact that
the victors Of Marathon found sepulture
on the plain where they vanauished the
Persian hordes.

YELLOW JOURNAL DENOUNCED
EDITOR SLEICHER DISCUSSES
NEWSPAPER DELUsIONs.
Assails Sensationalism and Perver.
sion Of Public Opinion That
Injuries individuals.

ST. PAUL. August 2o.-At the session
terday John A. sleicher. editor Of Les
lies Weekly. spoke on "Delusions."
Sleicher severely arraigned the less con-
sentative newspapers Of the country for
inaccuracy and catering to partisanship.
He said. in part:
Lord Cromer, in his recent book on
Modern Egyp,,' attributed to an English
daily paper that outburst OF hero worship
in 1885 which compelled Gladstone,
against his judgment, to send Gen. Cor
don to his tragic death in the Soudan.
How many men eminent in public and
private life in the United States have
been bounded into retirement, disgrace
and in some instances to death by the in
Justice of a thoughtess and sensational
press?
But Get circulation is the motto
Get 1t, for it means money and power:
Assail the rich. print the sanguinary de-
tails Of every horrible crime and disaster
varnish vice, appeal to the passions. dis
tort the truth. divide the people into
masses and classes and pit them like
wild beasts against one another. shock
the sensitive, mock the reformer. show
the people how they are deceived and op'
pressed. and never fail to impress upon
the maddened mob you are creating that
you alone are the friend Of long-suf.
fering people.
The urgent need OF every great Amer.
lean city Is a daily newspaper that shall
print less and better news: that shall ex-
ercise such censorship over it's coiulnnt
that no ones character shall be assailed
no institutions standing be dtscredited
no vested right be jeopardized. and nc
man or woman's motives tmpugned unit
the editor has justified his statements
PETER less news and real news; better
news a day late and right than day
earlier and wrong.
