Perfecting the Submarine.
u the Philadelphia Press


While Germany continues her amb-
tous program of naval construction the
admiralty authorities of the empire con-
tnue to discuss the practical value of
the subma rine torpedo boat in time of
war These authorities are a house di-
vided, and such a condition is not likely
to permit the best even a commen-
surate development of the submarine
branch of the German navy. Little is
heard in the United States of late con-
cerning the submarine arm of the serv-
ice but our naval authorities are known
to be vigilant in watching what the other
nations are doing. Evidence accumulates
that England has probably gone ahead of
all other governments in bringing the
submarine type of torpedo boat to a high
er degree of perfection than has been at
tanned elsewhere. II is understood that a
fiotilla of submarines constructed as part
of the British naval program Is the most
powerful and best equipped in the world.
evolved type of boat having high speed
both on the surface and under the water.
If reports are true the drawbacks OF
earlier types of submarines have been
overcome. The machinery works perfect
w. and explosions which We're formerly
frequent i'm this craft have been elimi-
mated Its destructive properties in dis
charging torpedoes from distance and
depth are understood to have been in
creased far beyond what formerly seem
ed POSSIBLE This however deplorable
from the humanitarian standpoint, Is
after all the great test OF efficiency.

Where Teaching Is Strenuous.

said of the life Of real colonial adventure

schoolma ster-can pack up and step
forthwith into life which for excite
ment and robust activity would win the
hearty respect of swashbuckling Jack
London. This may sound incredible to
those who regard school teaching as d
mildly remunerative form of life imprison-
ment. but it is true. The man who passes
Uncle Sans examinations next Decem-

accepted as teacher in the Philippine

will be on horseback most of the time

Some Wool.

On Wednesday, August I'd,
there was brought to the big
railroad warehouse in Roy, "a
wagon loads of wool, averaging
from 5000 to 1000 pounds to the
load, which was all purchased by
the Floersheim Mercantile Co. at
an average price of 13c per pound.
The amount paid out for wool in
this one day exceeded $l0,000.O0,
and this is but a fraction of the
wool that has already been pur-
chased and stored in the big
warehouse. A conservative es-
innate on this years clip is $175,-
100000 worth of wool at present
prices.
The average amount of wool
delivered at Roy during past
years has been about $50,000.00
per year. S. F'loersheim, presi-
dent of the Floersheim Mercan.
tile Co., is down from Springer
experimenting the delivery of
wool from the focks owned by his
company, which will be at least
one fourth of the entire receipts.
We should like for some of our
Eastern friends to get these fig
ures rightly in their heads. 1t
would make some difference in
their opinion of New Mexico.

A Pleasant Time.

The Sunday schools of this vi
cinity met with the Pleasant
View school at their school house,
seven miles east of town, last
Sunday in their regular Fifth
Sunday convention. A large
audience was present and listened
attentively to the program. The
forenoon was occupied with a
short but interesting prelude,
and dinner was called at noon.
Such a spread as was produced
from the many baskets and
placed upon the improvised
tables would be a credit to any
community, and the appetites
with which it was attacked at
tested the robust health of the
banqueters. When all were sa-
tiated there was enough fried
chicken, cake, pie, salads, ETC., to
have properly fed as many more.
The afternoon program was IN
charge of the vice president, as
the president had succumbed to
the effects of the good dinner.
Addresses, papers, etc, by
members'of the different schools
and on various timely and inter-
esting topics were read and dis
cussed, and recitations and songs
interspersed. The convention
closed with a very interesting ad-
dress bv Rev. j. S. Russell on the
subject of "'rhe Bible in Lltera-
