 The Easter services at the M. F.. Sunday school was better than usual and the songs by the children were enjoyed by all present. Mrs. s. T. Elliott and Miss Deming. teachers of the primary classes, made the hearts of the little ones glad by presenting them with toy baskets of eggs. bun nies and chickens.

 M G. Wagner made the return trip from Albuquerque A Thursday last, hav- ing had but little trouble on the round trip. He had to go by way of Spring erville, Magdalena. Socorro and up the river to Albuquerque, returning the same way, because of the failure of the New Mexican people to bridge two small streams east of Gal lup. With bridges over the Pner- co and another very small stream the distance between Holbrook and Albu- querque would be lessened 200 miles. A bridge over the Rio Grande farther up the river cuts about so miles from the travelling distance between Mazda lena and Socorro. Mr. Wagner be- lieves that with a small amount of work the road along the Santa Fe from Kingman to Albuquerque could be made one of the best In the country During the trip he met many cars covering this route ana is of the opinion that as soon as the roads have been put in better condition hun dreds of motorists will travel this way.
