Our Sunday school has special
announcement for next Sunday. in
the fact that the new tent will be- in
order for the use of the primary de-
partment. This work. with Mrs. Pet
erson, has grown so that there were
80 in attendance two weeks ago, and
the official board felt that special
quarters should be provided for the
little fellows. The cradle roll, with
Mrs. Mandelbaum. has contributed to
this increase aud the crowded state
of the school needs this relief. Two
classes, Messrs Hollis and Doderer's
meet now at the parsonage. Nothing
but individual class rooms will meet
the need Of a modern Sunday school,
and We must do the nearest we can.
The tent is 29x22 feet. floored, and
will be attractive quarters for our
coming militia-"a really soldiers
tent" they call it.

READY MARKET

"The farmers the first year on the
tract will make n profit Of from fif-
teen to twenty dollars an acre and
they have had their land farmed for
them. The feeding company and the
development organization will require
everything grown on the tract this
year and will pay a good price for
the products. About 5000 acres are
in cultivation this year. The won-
derful success Of this years crop
was due to the good work of the H.
linois Development Association, a
company organized by absentee land
holders for the farming Of their
lands. II has proven an exceedingly
economical way of farming on very
large scale"
Mr.. Miesse will be in the city for
several days engaged in the launch
ing Of his newest project. The new
company has received the hearty
support Of local capitalists.

LUNA COUNTY ROAD BOARD GOES
TO NATIONAL HIGHWAYS MEET


Charles II. Heath and DR.. X. &.
Hoffman, members of the Luna
County Road board, County Commits
sioners John Humid and e. l.. Hub.
bard aud Sam 7. Clark left Tuesday
evening over the Santa Fe railroad to
attend the annual meetin" of the New
Mexico division of the National High
ways association which is being held
at Santa Fe.
q. NJ. Sadler, member of the Luna
County Road board and secretary
and treasurer Of the board has re-
signed from the board, which was ac-
cepted and Charles II. Heath has
been elected TO fill the position Of
secretary and treasurer. DIR. X. c.
Hoffman has also rendered his res
ignation as II member of the board
which has not as yet been acted up
on. A petition is being circulated to
be sent to Governor Mcdonald for
the appointment of John Humid as
member of the board to succeed Sad
Ter.
In an interview with Secretary
Charles Heath he said, "While motor
lists, especially, have come to real
ize the importance Of giving consid-
Grafton to the wise application of
the funds available for good roads.
Few have appreciated the magnitude
of the subject and the time is fast
a""roaching when the general ublic
will become actively interested in the
matter. Here in Luna county We have
made every dollar of the money in
our hands count.
"There will be about $4,000 in the
state fund for use in this county
which will be snent under the iirec-
tion of State Enoineer James A.
French, who has an assistant here
now. The state will be assisted by
County Surveyor Morgan and work
will commence next week on the state
road between Columbus and Deming.
"Whether the national government
shall or shall not help in the con-
struction of the highways of the ma
ton is of vital and pressing impor-
tance to all our people. France,
Germany, England, and, in fact, most
European countries, have great high
ways. In the United States no such
roads exist to any relative extent.
We grew as a nation with the indus
trial growth of the warld. About
1881, when we were young. railroads
and street railroads were first built.
A little later came the telegraph. and
then the telephone. We likewise had
great rivers, such as did not exist m
many other industrial nations. These
five means of TRANSFORMATION had u
tendency to confine our road build-
ig TO local centers. In Europe, the
need of intercommunicntion came be-
fore the use Of steam or electricity.
Hence the earlier growth of road
building on that continent.
ave have over 100000 miles oi
highways in the United States. The
excess over 10000 miles is. APP
proximately, the only part Of this
vast system Of roads which can be
considered as improved-and these
are not permanently improved. The
cost Of improving this 100000 miles
can be estimated as somewhere be.
tween a minimum Of $6.00O,0OO and
100000 900 or more.
"The Improvement of these high
wavs will not come at once, either in

time or, on first building. in perma-
ncnce. Their history will be that Of
railroads--constant rebuilding and
improvement. Add TO either figure
of cost what the Imagination may
choose to add and we have a future
expenditure ON the highways Of the
nation greater than the present in
vestment in all other means of inter-
communication-railroads trolleys.
telegraph, telephone, horse and power
vehicles, and the postal service. This
expenditure will cover many years
IL accomplished within the same per-
iod us our railroad development, then
about 80 years. The wise planning
and building Of these highways is an
important public duty"

MEN AND BAILEY WILL BUILD
aANT 1G AND FEED CATTLE


e.. +. Miesse arrived in the city
city Saturday with purity OF pros
pcctive buyers TO whom $4,000
worth Of land on the Southwestern
Alfalfa Farms Company tract Of
1000 acres was sold. Those who
purchased are: A. r. Basinger, Le-
banon county, Ohio, eighty acres; C.
+. l.eason, Gary, Indiana, eighty ac-
res; Edgar McCaffery, San Francis
co, California, forty acres; g. A..
Carr. Ambridge, Pennsylvania, eighty
acres /; H. B. Lee, Defiance county,
Ohio, eighty acres. With them were
Mr.. aud Mrs. j. A. Nauss Of Green
vile, Ohio, who were previous pur-
chasers and who are here now to
make their home.
CROPS ARE BEST EVER
Mr.. Miesse was exceedingly well
pleased with the progress being made
on the 10,000-acre Mimbres Valley
Alfalfa Farms tract, the Develop
ment Of which is under the efficient
management Of o. E. Bailey. "The
rains have done thousands Of dollars
worth Of good tc the crop on the
tract" said Mr.. Miesse. "The beans,
milo maize, and alfalfa are looking
fine. and the farmers on the tract are
well pleased with the promise Of
profits for their first years work.
FATTEN RANGE CATTLE
Speaking Of future operations, Mr..
Miesse continued: 1--WE expect to
shortly incorporate new company
for the purpose of fattening range
cattle on a large scale. To begin
with. u section of land will be de-
veloped for feeding pens, silos, barns,
etc. This winter. fifteen 20O-ton
concrete silos will be built by j. r.
Charters Of Gary, Indiana, an expert
concrete contractor who handles
such work for the Gary Steel CON-
pany. They will be Of the under
ground and overhead combination
type which has proven so successful
in this country.
UNIQUE METHOD
"The company will be composed,
to begin with, with Mr.. Bailey, my
self, and as many Of the farmers now
resident on the tract who care to be
included. The company will be capi-
talixed at $3.50, 900, and will have
ample resources to carry out the
project fully. We expe ct to buy just
the ordinary range stock and fatten
il ON the tract for the Kansas City
and Chicago markets. We will have
ample supply of forage this year to
take care Of a considerable number.
Ultimately the company will maintain
central feeding stations at various
points ON the tract and the buyers
of the lands will have the opportunity
to feed their stock profitably and
economically in this way. This will
call for the construction Of large
number Of silos.
"The opportunities for cattle feed
ing here exceed that in any other Sec
tion, because Of the fact that the val
ley is surrounded by the largest
ranges Of New Mexico which produce
the best grade Of white-faee stock.
and because the valley soil and eli
mate are conducive to raising an
amazing tonnage Of forage and grain
to the acre. Preserved in silo and
conserved by right methods Of feed
ing under supervision Of experts the
crops will yield q much larger profit
