POSTOFFICE FORCE IS
SORRY TO LOSE HIM
PASSES RESOLUTIONS REGARD.
ING THE DEPARTURE OF
SHOWALTER

In connection with the transfer of
E. s. Showalter from the postoffice
here to the service at South Bend,
Ind, the postoffice officials and en-
ployes at the East Las Vegas post
Office, adopted set of resolutions at
their meeting on September express
sive of the high regard in which Mr..
Showalter was held by his associates
and the regret they felt at his depart
ture. The resolution follows:
Whereas it has occurred that Earl
s. Showalter after five years of serv-
i've as clerk in the postoffice at
East Las Vegas, New Mexico, is about
to exchange his position to take serv-
i've in the postoffice at South Bend,
Indiana; Therefore we the undersign-
ed officials at the East Las Vegas
postoff1ce as some evidence of our ap-
probation desire to state.
"First-That Mr.. Showalter during
a residence of seven years in Las We
gas has proven himself to be Chris
ton gentleman of high character and
moral worth. By an upright life and
close attention to business he has won
fer himself the universal respect and
confidence of the people of the city.
"Second-As an employe in the post
ogffce he has been uniformly courte-
oous and attentive to the patrons of
the office. prompt attention and eff
cient in the discharge of all his duties.
"Third-We' assure him of our
friendship and high regard. And re-
gret that he must leave us, we ex-
tend to him our best wishes for his
success and commend him to the peo-
PIE wherever he may go as a man full
ly entitled to their fullest confidence"

MEYER SAW finer
CORN anywhere
THIS is THE OPINION OF EXCuR-
SION VISITORS TO THE MESA
YESTERDAY

The Commercial clubs excursion TO
the mesa yesterday afternoon was an
eye-opener TO numbers of Las Vegans
who had not visited the dry farming
district for some time. The visitors
saw the farmers harvesting crops OF
corn that will run from 25 to 40 bush
els to the acre They saw wheat and
oats that would do credit to Kansas
or Illinois farm. The excursionists
say they never saw finer farm pro-
ducts raised on any other than irrigat-
ed lands.
Many of the farmers were engaged
yesterday in cutting their corn for en-
silage. 1t was interesting for the
townspeople to see this work done
and it was more interesting to hear
what can be accomplished with the
use of silos. Not the least important
of these accomplishments is the main
terance of large dairy herds, with a
consequent assured income for the
farmer all winter.
Some samples of mesa corn were
brought to town by the excursionists.
One ear seen by a representative of
The Optic this morning measured 12
inches in length and was about as
big around as one of Jim Flynn's arms.
Among the farmers visited by the ex-
cursion were Jacob Regehr, N. s. Bel
den, L. G. Calhoun, c. c. Bigler, c. D.
Black, David Newcomer and F. D.
Howe Nearly all of these men have

MANUEL SILVA PLEADS
GUILTY TO A CRIME
ADMITS SECURING MERCHANDISE
UNDER FALSE PRE-
TENSES

Manuel Silva, a longtime resident
of the West side, pleaded guilty to
charge of obtaining goods under false
pretenses in the court of Justice Felix
Garcia y Gutierrez this morning, and
was bound over to the grand jury un-
der $500 bonds, which he had been un-
able to furnish at late hour today.
Silva, who up to short time ago
is said to have been an energetic and
capable man, having, at various times.
been court interpreter, school teacher
and clerk, wrote an order on M. Dam
ziger for merchandise in the amount
Iof slips, signing the name of Jose e.
Sandoval to the paper. He cashed the
order yesterday afternoon. The forg-
cry was soon discovered and Silvas
arrest followed.
When the case came up for hear
ing, the defendant presented pitt
able sight. Silva, who is said to owe
his downfall to liquor; trembled liz
every limb not so much, apparently.
at the possible consequences of the
crime he had committed as because Of
the whiskey He is thought to have
become morally and mentally irres-
possible as result of his inordinate
habit.

STORM PERIOD PREDICTED
FROM OCT. t3 TO NOV

L. Howell Lewis, local astronomer,
predicts that weather conditions from
October j. to November 6 will be
as follows:
az regular storm period will oc-
cur letwee 4 October 13 and Octo-
Der 90. The moon will be new and
90, 900 miles nearer the earth than
it has been during the lunar month,
on October 10. During this period
storms Hill come one after another
in different parts OF the United
States.
The Venus period ends on Octo-
Ter 19, and the Mercury period be-
gins on the same date. During this
epoch, storm changes will be rapid
in Oklahoma, and intensified in
states further north, especially in
the Great Lake states.
Another storm period will begin
on the heels of the goth and end
about the 25th or the 26th.
"It is an established fact that
when the Mercury period begins
about the middle of October, that
ice and sleet occur in the states
north of Oklahima. Another storm
period begins with the 9th and
ends with the 30th. Warm rains and
electrical storms may be looked for
during this period, caused by the
moon being on the celestial equator
on the 30th
zone may expect to read reports
of earthquakes in different parts of
the earth between October 26 and
November 6, and volcanic action may
be looked for in craters in different
parts of the world that are not eX-
tinct. Such condition will be
brought to a elimination by three
of the outside planets arriving at
their quadrants about that time The
quadrant of Neptune will occur on
October q and that of Uranus on
the 31st and of Jupiter on Noyem
Der 6.
"The combination of the increased
electromagnetic forces coming from
these three great planets ex-rayed
upon our diminutive earth, will GER
tainly cause unusually heavy strains
upon the earth's crust, which will
end in seismic and volcanic action
where the earth's crust is the thin
nest or weakest Oklahoman.
