COMMENCEMENT WEEK
IN ALAMOCORDO SCHOOL
Class of 1911 Has One Member--Miss
Hazel Shelton
BaccaIaureate Sermon was Fine. Commence
ment Friday Night. School Display On.

This is the last week of school
and no doubt pupils and teachers
alike are ready for the summers
rest.
The baccalaureate sermon last
Sunday morning ut the Christian
church by Rev. G.. H. Givan,
pastor of the South NJ. K. church,
was the initial event of com
mencement week. The church
looked very pretty with many
beautiful roses we'll arranged in
vases about the rostrum. The
church was completely filled by
the large congregation. The
Glass of 1911, all young ladies,
had seats to the fore part OF the
church.
Rev. Givan took for his text,
"Ye shall know the truth and
the truth shall make you free"
found IN St John S:32. His
address was mastery and con-
tanned many words of advice and
encouragement to the class. He
showed how that all the present
great forces such as steam, elec-
tricity, water power, lie dormant
and useless until developed and
utilized. Just so with educa-
tion. 1t has wonderful possibil-
titles if only cultivated and put
to use. His address was just one
good thing after another and to
do it full justice should be pub
lished in full. During the 40
minutes Rev. Givan was speak
ing, perfect quietness reigned
throughout the church and he
was accorded the closest atten-
tion from start to finish.
The singing, which was unusual
| ly good, was furnished by a mix
ed union choir from the several
churches with Miss Nicholas at
the organ.
The services were opened with
scripture reading by Rev. A. G.
Miller, pastor of the Baptist
church and closed with the bene-
diction by Rev. Ed. lie Breton.
pastor of the Grace NJ. f. church.
Friday morning at the Au-
ditorium, commencing at ten
O'clock, will occur the eighth
grade graduating exercises. The
class numbers up around 10 and
contains some very bright and
capable students. The exercises,
no doubt, will be very interest
ing.
In the evening at I 30 the
same day and at the same place,
will occur the first commence
ment exercises Alamogordo
has ever had. There is only one
member in the class, Miss Hazel
Shelton, and she will have the
honor of being Alamogordo's
first graduate as a member of
and at the same time the
entire Glass of 1911. She has
labored faithfully IN the high
school four years and the honors
were honestly gained. The
News wishes her a successful aud
prosperous career.
Rev. Ed lie Breton will deliver
the commencement address.
The public is cordially invited to
attend these exercises.
The schools Of Alamogordo are
in excellent condition and are
closing a very successful and pro-
fitable term. The crops of teach
ors has proven efficient and the
pupils haveco-operated with them
for the greatest good. Soon

SPRAYING ~ FOR
THE CODl,hd MOTH
Now Considered as Necessary
to Good Crop as Pruning
FIRST SPRAYING AS
THE BLOSSOMS FALL

1t is a recognized fact that if
the grower expects to get a good
crop Of apples he must prune,
cultivate, irrigate, and fertilize
the orchard at the proper time.
Yet, very frequently afterwe have
COVE 70 the trouble and expense
of performing all of these orchard
operations we fall down at the
last moment, and permit from
one half to two-thirds of the cror
to be destroyed right before oul
very eyes by insect pests. Spray,
ing is now considered as neces.
sary in orchard operation to pro.
duce crop of sound apples as
pruning or irrigating. There is
no longer any doubt as to the
good that spraying does. Just
consider the vast sums of money
that are being expended every
year on the spraying of trees
throughout the United States.
Why do fruit growers do this:
If the results at the end of the
year did not show up favorably,
can we believe that such large
expenditures for fighting insect
pests would be continued? Stop
and think of it. Aside from
this, it has been shown time and
time again by numerous expert.
ments conducted at the different
experiment stations that spray
ing, properly done, is about the
best way to keep under control
our worst orchard pests. 1t is
true, however, that the same
number of sprayings will not give
equally satisfactory results in all
sections of the county. In the
Eastern States two sprayIngs
seem to be necessary, but in the
Central States two to'four spray
ings are recommended: while
farther west more sprayings are
necessary to get satisfactory re-
suits. In New Mexico, due to
the great difference in attitudes
and climatic conditions, it is
probable that the number of
sprayings for best results will
vary according to the locality.
In the lower and warmer valleys
where the seasons are the longest

LORD BACON INVENTOR OF
CIPHERS.

With the revival of current news
paper gossip about the Baconian
theory Of the authorship of Shakes
peare's plays. ii is interesting to note
in the New York Post the story of
how an American woman has been
credited with having originated the
controversy. This somewhat doubtful
praise is. however. not hers by right.
since 125 years ago one Edmund Ma
lone created a furore in London by
his Shakespeare researches. Shakes
peare was the fad of all the tables
and society was divided into parties
those who believed that Shakespeare
wrote many more plays than are
credited to him and those who belived
that he wrote none at all.
Miss Della Bacon. New England
school teacher, is shown to have got
her first notion on the subject from a
lecture by Emerson in 1885. appearing
now in his Representative Men,"
where after sketching the scanty in

Thereupon Miss Bacon evolved the
notion. stimulated by pride in her
family name, that Bacon wrote the
plays. and il Is said that, even the
first cipher theory was worked out
by her. She sent to Emerson her
first article on the subject. He com

ended by saying with his unusual
common sense that she would have

tions. the poet and the statesman

author of the book, The Shakes

to the curious fact that of the two
principal ciphers used by practical
men today Lord Bacon was the in,

for telegraphy and the combination
lock for safes. The basis of the
Morse code is a series of dots and
dashes combined differently for each
letter Bacon's cipher was n cOmbi-

wheel cipher was also invented by
Bacon. 1t consisted of a circle with
the letters of the alphabet written

a disc with the alphabet on it's rim.
