FOR SELF
PROTECTION

Mountainair, N. NJ, January 5,
1914. -Mountainair Lodge No. 27,
A. H. I. A., was organized Sat
urday afternoon with a member
ship of twenty-five, with officers
as follows:
Isaac Fulton, president; M. B.
Fuller, vice president; John w,
Horbett, secretary; DR.. T. w.
Chadwick, treasurer; D. L. Mich
ell, marshal; M. A. Burlington,
guide; ]. H. Rhoades, ]. M. Cumi-
ford, w. c. Delozier, Ralph A.
Marble and G. G. Wimsatt, inves-
tigating committee.
John w. Corbett, who insti-
tuted the first subordinate lodge
of this organization in New Mex
leo at Eastview in 1901, was the
instituting officer.
The Importance and value of
this organization is enhanced by
the death of the mounted police,
and in some localities some or
ganization of this kind is neces-
sary for the protection of prop
erty. The order is semi fraternal
and its protection extends to all
kinds of property owned by the
members. In the central west,
where the order is strongest, il
has become a very rare thing for
any member to lose property Of
any kind by theft, for thieves
have learned that it does not pay
to steal from them. The idea anC
practice is to recover the property
if possible, but get the thief, re.
gardless of expense or trouble
and the thief is usually caught
The value of the organization
however, is measured largely b!
the extent of its membership AM
it is hoped that every desirable
citizen in the county will becom'
a member.

something new.
The growing of honey, which
is as yet in its infancy, but which
promises to be an industry of no
mean Importance, also attracted
the attention of the visitors.
With several tons of honey hav-
ing been shipped out during the
past season, and milk being fed
to horses, they were impressed
that this was "a country flowing
with milk and honey"
A suggestion by John Becker,
which proved attractive to MIR.
FARRELL, was that literature and
information concerning farming
in this section, ought be sent out
in the Spanish language for the
benefto of the Spanish Americans,
will no doubt be acted upon by
that officer through his depart
ment. Mr.. Becker's suggestion,
not only included the railroad
bulletins regarding farming, but
also the government bulletins and
those issued by the Agricultural
college of the state.
The meeting proved interesting
to both the officials and our peo.
pie, and no doubt will show bene.
fetal results.
