Mrs. Sharp has worked out her own in

that the chief medium for this upiiit
comes through the home. She has de-

ITO train boys and girls to a similar

men and women continues throughout
their whole lives and I am convinced
that as builder Of character it Is UNI

applicable to life at large. No matter
how far one wanders one continues to
retain and abide by these lessons. The
wholesomeness Of the home as a foun-
dalton for future prosperity is not to be
denied. OF course, conditions or cir

Individual homes. but the fundamentals
of this training as preparation for life

never be underestimate.

active member of the Fortnightly and
both was purely educative. In the
Fortnightly, which rangs high among
the study clubs of the country. litera-
ture was given close but not exclusive
interest. The Political Club followed
politics and economics, as its name
suggests, with chief stress upon these
subjects in relation to the municipality.
In addition. Mrs Sharp Is member OF

AS far as outdoor sports go. Mrs. Sharp
is not fond Of those requiring active
muscular play. But she is especially fond
of horses and always has her own driv-

sacrifices her love for the noble steed and
depends upon the more rapid motor car.
Her plans for going to France are fairly
well shaped. She does not anticipate join

GOOD WINNINGS IN COMPETITION
WITH IRRIGATED SECTIONS

AS usual, Torrance county wa;
awarded the first premium at the
state fair for the best county ex

tural products grown under dry
farming. Mountainair got the
second community premium in
the same classification, and Es
tancia community was given
fourth place,
Torrance county was also
awarded first premium for the
best exhibit of forage crops
The rules this year put the in
dividual exhibits from this coun-
ty at great disadvantage. Ex-
cept on county and community
exhibits no distinction was made
between irrigated and non-irri-
gated products. Therefore the
individual exhibits were judged
in competition with irrigated
products from all over the state.
Under such circumstances the
record is a remarkable one and

the county to all the glory they
want to ask for.

In the matter of the payment
OF prisoners board bill heretofore
made out of the sheriffs fee
Mnd, comes C. R., Ea9ley repre-
senting Julius Meyer, and calls
the attention of the board to the
fact that the payment of the
said bill out Of the sheriff's fee
fund is illega! and that the funds
SO paid out of the sheriff fee
fund must be reimbursed in a
like sum out of the general coun-
ty fund. The board after due
consideration and seeing that
there is no money in the general
county fund, resolves to pass a
resolution for the transfer Of
surplus moneys in other funds to
the general county fund upon a
duly authorized order from the
district judge, and accordingly
order the clerk to write said res
olution and mail same to the dis
trict judge and request the grant
ing of said order.
Resolution.
The board Of county commits
sioners of Torrance county in
regular term assembled, find
that they have in the past paid
prisoners board bill out of the
sheriff's fee fund and that said
bills so paid out of the sheriff's
fee fund have been enormously
paid out of said fund; therefore
the board re solves that the said
bills so paid out Of the sheriff's s
fee fund should be paid out of
the general county fund and that
such funds so paid out of the
sheriff's fee fund be replaced in
to the said fund out of the gen
eral county fund.
The board also finds that there
are number of old bills due the
sheriff which have been previous
ly approved and are still unpaid,
said bills being for actual ex-
penses as follows, to-wit:
Actual expenses for quar-
ter ending Sept. 80,
1912, approved Jan. 7,
1918, $305 60
Actual expenses for quar-
ter ending Dec. 81,
1912, approved Jan. 7,
1918, 238.2
Actual expenses for quar-
ter ending March 81,

ular April meeting, 433.08
Actual expenses for the
adjourned term of the
District Court April 30,
1913, 381.00
Actual expenses for the
adjourned Sept. term
of the District Court,
1918, 206 90
Total, $1563. 93
That there isa surplus in the
following funds that will not be
used for anything in the way of
paying bills and cannot be so
used without being transferred
to the general county fund and
that it is necessary that the dis
trict judge issue the order for
the said transfer.
Surplus in county special

Surplus in court house
and Jail repair fund 2150,00
