TIE Silver City Independent gave
the Lordsburg schools a hard jolt last
week when it told that Mrs. Kinnon
was going to move to FL Paso, to put
her children In school. They are In
about the fourth or fifth grade, and
the LordsbuTg schools ought to be
good enough for them. They probably
would be II the school board would
hire experienced teachers instead Of
those just out Of school with a three
weeks finishing touch at a summer
normal. There Is money enough In
the school treasury, but 1t is being
used for school buildings and the
economy is being practiced by hiring
cheap teachers. In the opinion Of
many, but not a majority, Of the vot-
ers Of LordsbuTg, 1t is poor economy.
The school is just the kind Of school
a majority Of voters want, and the
rest of them who cannot escape as has
Mrs. Kinnon, a take their medicine.

THE Chamber Of Commerce Of Santa
Re is preparing an unusual stunt In
advertising. 1t thinks the peculiar
style Of architecture adopted by the
original adobe builders Of that town
can be modified and made beautiful
and become recognized as "New-Old
Santa Fe" style Of architecture. 1t
has invited people who think they
know what is right in that line to
present plans for Eve room residences,
following the old style as to the ex-
terror Of the building and modern
plumbing and electric light arrange
ments for the interior. The best plan
will receive an award Of 800, and the
second best will receive $50. The In
dustrial Workers Of the World are
Directing to the whole scheme and
may order a strike to kill It. They
argue that the new buildings will be
built Of adobe, which will throw all
the bricklayers out Of work.

THE president has accepted the re-
signation Of Henry Lane Wilson, the
ambassador to Mexico. Mr.. Wilson
was a holdover from the Taft admin
istration, and resigned when Pres
ldent Wilson took ONCE. Owing to
the fact that the Huerta administers
ton was not recognizable q successor
TO Minister Wilson could not be APP
pointed, and 30 his resignation was
not accepted. His conduct In Mexico
was far from satisfactory, and re-
Gently he was called to Washington
to consult with the president. Min
lister Wilson wanted Huerta recognize
ed, which the president considered
impossible. AS he was not In SYM
pathy with the administration the
president accepted his resignation, to
take place In October, and gave him
a leave Of absence till then, which
gives him the customary sixty days
vacation. In the mean time the en-
bassy In Mexico is in charge Of the
clerk, a man who bears the good
American name Of O'Shaughnessy,
and former Governor John Lind, Of
Minnesota has been sent 10 Mexico as
an advisor TO the secretary. II Is
understood that when there Is a re-
c~oRnizablO government In Mexico
Governor Lind will be appointed am

VOL estRard, who Is the of8clal

the continent six times, In automo-
biles, logging the different routes. Is
At it again this year. He was the
pilot Of the company Of car manufac-
turers who left indianapolis July 9TH
and drove through Illinois, Missouri,
Kansas, Colorado, Utah and Nevada
to California, calling ct San Francisco
and finishing their isunt at Los An
geles, He started from Los Angeles
this week for the east, with instruc-
lions to follow the Borderland route,
which he is doing. According to his
present plan he will leave Douglas
Monday morning, and make the run
to Lordsburg that day, leaving here
for Deming Tuesday morning. Ar
engagements have been made for =
Lordsburg motor car to meet him In
Douglas and escort him to LordsbuTg,
and 1t would be well II several cars
could meet him there. Amy person
driving a car is invited to go TO Doug
las, and return with the party Mon
day. In order to make a better show
ing for the road 1t is desirable that
some work be done on the road across
the Animas, and a subscription paper
was passed around town this week,
money raised to do some work, which
is now being done. The logging done
by Mr.. Westgard will become the Of
fetal log Of the American Automobile
Association, and will be adopted by
the Blue Book as official, and the
Borderland will be on the map, which
is the reason that Lordsburg should
exert itself to make Mr.. Westgard
welcome.

1t was as far q head of the old sys-
tenn as the telephone Is head of the
courier in the transmission Of news.
Not only will the new system wash
the clothes better, is more sanitary,
but it is also a great improvement in
its effects upon the fabrics. The
process positively does no harm to
the fabrics that are cleaned. Mr..

similar system installed He is en-
thusiastic over what he saw.
