FIRST NATIONAL BANK
PRESIDENT IS DEAD
Col. Anderson Succumbs After
Two Weeks of Illness
WAS FORMERLY NATION
AL BANK RECEIVER

Col. Henry j. Anderson, presi-
dent of the First National Bank.
died Wednesday morning at
| 20, of complication of ills.
Death occurred at the Anderson
home on Tenth street at Virgin
ia avenue, after an Illness Of a
little more than two weeks.
Col. Anderson was sixty-six
years of age, and his age, to-
gether with his impaired
strength, made it impossible for
him to struggle against and over
come acute illness. On Tuesday,
April eleventh. his condition
was regarded as so critical that
an Alamogordo physician was
called in consultation, and that
evening physician from Ell
Paso was summoned for consul
tation. The following day he
took turn for the better and
appeared 10 be improving stead
lily. His condition was SO much
improved that it was hoped that
his recovery would be complete.
Almost without warning the
death was announced Wednes-
day morning, and the whole COM
munlty was shocked and grieved. =.
Col. and Mrs. Anderson came
to Alamogordo in Decem ber.
1909, when he organized the
First National Bank. He was
its first and only president. He
served for some years as a Ma
tional Bank Receiver, and was
one of the best informed bank
ers in the Southwest. A wife
and daughter, Mrs. A. L. Hunt
ingtOn, of Scranton, Pa, survive.
The remains will be carried
back to New York. The funeral
service will be conducted from
the Fifth Ave. Brick Church, 4"
and the interment will be made
in the Anderson plot in Green
wood cemetery.

Entertained Thursday

Mrs. j. 5. Baker entertained
last Thursday evening at her
home on New York avenue in
honor of Messrs. l.. A. White
and X. q. james, the hours be-
ing from 3 to IL.
The house was prettily decorat-
ed with flowers, beautiful roses
being banked about the mantel.
During the evening games and
music were enjoyed. Dainty re-
freshments consisting Of sherbert
and waters were served. There
were five couples present.
Messrs. White and James left
Monday morning for Aguilar,
Colo, where the former has been
rendered a position by the Du-
pont Powder Co. The gentle
men were very popular and will
be missed very much in church
and social circles. Their many
friends wish them health aud
prosperity in their new location.

FLAMING ARC LAMP
GIVES MELLOW LIGHT
Early Light Gave 1000 Candle
Poweri Flaming Arc 10000
TURN THE DARKEST
NIGHT INTO DAYLIGHT

The first electric arc was little
more than a laboratory expert
ment. Fifty years elapsed be-
tween Davy's wonderful dis
covery and the first arc lamp
which tiickered from high pole
and gave a sickly blue light over
the public square at Cleveland,
Ohio.
Another era in arc lighting was
reached only a few years ago
when the flaming arc lamp was
produced. The early lamps gave
but 1000 candle-power each,
while the new flaming arc will
give as high as $1,000 candle
power for the same amount of
electrical energy.
In nearly all the large cities
huge flaming arc lamps cast their
flood of mellow light over the
busy streets turning night into
day. Thousands and thousands
of people hourly pass these
wonderful lamps but few ever
stop to inquire whence comes
this strange light which illumin-
ates the streets on the darkest
nights like a glorious summer
sunset.
As most people know, the cleo
trio light, whether of the arc or
incandescent type, owes its
brightness to heated carbon rods
or tilaments. The flaming arc is
simply a carbon arc with the ex-
ception that the carbon rods have
soft core in their center, like
the lead in a lead pencil, and
this core is impregnated with
such color-yielding salts as
chromium and calcium oxides.
The ordinary carbon light comes
from the ends of the carbons and
the are or space between the
carbon points gives only a faint
violet color, but is extremely hot.
This heat is sufficient in the fam
ing arc lamps to volatilize the
metallic salts, decompose them
and also make the metal incan-
descent. In this way the vapor,
passing through the arc, lights
up the space and thus adds great
ly to the light, which otherwise
would only come from the ends
of the carbons. These lights are
really not much more "flamingn
than the common light, but the
arc, being Illuminated, gives the
appearance of flame. The ordi-
nary arc lamp gives about 200O
candle-power, while by thus ad-
ding little lime, etc, the can
dle-power is increased to over
10000.

ArteSia InSurrecto

WILDER Warnock, son of Q. ID.
Warnock, the architect, who left
Artesia few days ago for FL
Paso, has joined the Mexican in
surrectos and is now in camp
with them. Young Warnock did
not intimate to his friends that
he expected to join the forces of
Madero, and it was through let
ters home that the news of
his enlistment reached Artesia.
WILDER crossed the river at
night, and apparently had no
difficulty in locating the camp
of the insurrecto general. He
is to receive $40 per day for his
services, this being the usual
price paid to Americans who en-

separated for the hot summer
months and we trust that the
coming vacation may be the most
enjoyable Of all.
| AS announced in The News
last week, the exhibit Of work
done by pupils from primary de-
partment to the high school is in
place on the second floor of the
high school building and is being
inspected by many peopls. The
exhibit will remain in place un-
til tomorrow evening.
The writer spent about an hour
yesterday forenoon most enjoy
ably and also proftably in view
ing the large collection of work.
1t contained a great variety of
subjects and every exhibit show
ed unusual skill and neatness.
We have seen a number of school
exhibits, but this one is about
the best yet, when it is taken
into consideration that every bit
of the work has been done by
the pupils since Christmas.
The black boards contain draw
ings and sketches by pupils of
the fourth grade that would be
a credit to much older children.
The designs are all original and
show most excellent taste.
Then there is writing by Mex
lean boy in the first grade. The
slants and curves are almost
perfect and far out shines the
efforts Of his American compan-
ions. Map drawings by the fifth
grade is another interesting ex.
hibit that shows considera BILE
skill.
Original designs and panels in
black and white by members of
the sixth grade discloses very
good work. The water color and
ink sketches are very good and
some of the little artists will no
doubt be heard from in after
years.
The plate rail work by the
primary department and the col
ored cut-out leaves by the second
grade are attractive indeed. The
Japanese lanterns by the third
grade lend much to the display
and show some good ideas in the
decorating line.
Drawings by the Mexican first
and second graders. along with
general work, is an important
part of the large display. There
were two tables OF written work,
drawings, ETC., by the 4th and
9TH grade. Then there was board
work by the high school, and
work also from the sixth grade
up. 1t has been impossible to
mention every feature of this
work, but we trust that every
one who possibly can, will in
spect this display and be sure to
register your name.
We were told by Prof. George
that this display showed better
work than was exhibited at the
FL Paso fair the past two years,
and that nothing equalled it at
Las Vegas last Christmas during
the institute. The work on dis
play now will be taken to Las
Vegas next year and without a
doubt will carry off a majority
of the honors. 1t is . fine one.
Don't fail to see it.
The blackboards in the sever
al grade rooms Of both buildings
are covered with special work
and is also very interesting. It

Mr.. Steve G.. Maddox, OF

man, he as an enthusiastic and
extensive grower of peanuts. A
few of our leading men are well
acquainted with him and some
have bought seed peanuts from
him as he has advertised his seed
peanut for sale extensively. He
grows his peanuts without irriga-
tion. While here he was asked
for information about growing
these COOLERS, the way of harvest
ing them and the profits to be de.
rived therefrom. and an inter.
view with him was copied as
follows:
Question. What was your ex-
perience with raising Spanish
peanuts last year!
Answer. | planted ten acres
which yielded me forty bushels
per acre and have just finished
selling the crop which brought
me 81. 30 a bushel. The hay from
these peanuts amounted to about
ten tons. | sold five tons at $li
per ton and was offered 500 for
the remaining five tons but kept
it for my own use.
Q. What was the net profit
oil of the ten acres?
A. | should say the profit,
after paying for labor and seed,
was $45 per acre, net.
q. Do you let the nut stay on
the vine?
A. | thresh the nuts from the
vine.
q. What was the manner of
cultivating the peanuts?
a. About the same way you
would cultivate cotton, and |
would advise anyone who culti-
Yates peanuts to cultivate them
as level as possible, from the fact
that when the spikes come out
from the ground, if it comes in
contact with the air it withers,
