HOMESTEADERS

On Wednesday of this week
Lordsburg became the mecca of
the Animas valley homesteader.
The office of the local United
States commissioner has certainly
been doing a "land office" business
together with serving as a bureau
of information. Special articles
we're sent out this week by the
Western Liberal to the largest
newspapers in the southwest tell
ng of the opening of the townships
in southern Grant county; as a re-
suit every mail contains communi-
cations from all parts of the coun-
try.
Beginning Wednesday those de-
string to file homestead or desert
and entries have been before the
Commissioner. The applications
re sent to the Las Cruces land Of
ice and none will be considered as
lied until the morning of December
Z at 8 o'clock. At that time the
)lats will be marked up as the fill
ngs are allowed.

lection. The University of Florida
Experiment Station offers the follow
ing suggestions for pruning:
Dead wood, diseased wood and
dropped fruit are the sources of in
lection for many of the worst fungus
diseases. The removal of these from
the grove is the best measure OF
prevention for many diseases. and
in stem-end rot and withertip it is
necessary measure. The best time
to prune is during the dormant sea
son, in December and January. The
next best time is in the summer ar
ter the first flush of growth has
thoroughly hardened, in June and
July
Growers are cautioned that prun'
| ing for withcrtip when oft wood is
present is apt to result i'll injury
rather than benefit. Remove as
many dead twigs and branches as
possible Prune back into the live
healthy wood Make smooth cuts at
the base of branch so that no pro
| iectinr stubs will be left These are
very susceptible to withertip infec
ton and such stubs will die ant

faces should be painted with some
substance which will keep out in

Legion of France.
He had been sleeping on sentry
duty a crime for which the military
codes of all nations prescribe only one
penalty. 1t is a just penalty, for the
sentry has the lives of innumerable
men dependent upon his vigilance.
Yet there was conformation for SEQ
veil. A malignant sergeant, two days
and nights spent on ceaseless trench
work, and then, without the rest that
should have been his, post in this ad-
vanced position among the bush be-
tween the hostile lines. Human nature
could not have endured it; it was no
wonder that the boy had slept.
Scovell opened his eyes with a start.
Before him stood major general of
the French army. accompanied by two
officers from headquarters.

One of the officers took the rifle

They led him along the edge of the

In MEMORY.

On the 4th of May 1915 the
white winged messenger visited
The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Thom-
as Williamson and carried to
heaven with him, their oldest
daughter, Miss Jennie William
son, who was born Sept 23rd
1878 aud died May 4th 1915.
She united with the M. Z.
church in August 1907 and lived
true to her church and her God
until she died. She was loved
by all who knew her. Her death
was not unexpected to herself
She knew that she could not get
well as she had the dreaded dis
ease, consumption. She suffered
through her sickness but bore it
with patience until Jesus said
for her to come home and her
body let 90 her soul, the angels
conducting her home. She was
laid to rest in old Spring Hill
graveyard to await the resurrect-
ion morning.
Weep no more for her dear
ones, look not for her in the
grave, but in heaven. Prepare
to meet her ON that day when
the scattered ashes of all the re
deemed in Christ shall be gather
ed into the bridal halls of glory
to celebrate with untold JOY the
marriage supper Of the Lamb
Let Us all tvke new courage,
for soon the toll of life will soon
be over and we shall leave this
world OF sorrow, pain sickness
and death.
We extend to the family our
heartfelt sympathy, may our
Father in Heaven help us to be-
reconciled to his will.
