Large Crowd Enjoyed tho Game,

The football game between the
"old grads" and the high school
eleven resulted in tie, the score
being 0 to 0. In spite Of the pre-.
dic,ion that the old boys would not

that there would not be enough sub

the young fellows bit of real foot.

Yes. there were lot of sore legs
and n lot of "charlie her-es" the
next day, still the old hoys were in
the game every minute and there was
never u tine when their goal was in

make consistent gains through the

The high school team were unable

There were few minor injuries
but no one on either side was badly

gains were made through his side

For the "has beens,' they were

Unexpected Profits From the Sale
Of Oils Raises Questions as TO
Where Surplus will 90.

Wade llerren. A. Wilsey, Harry
thrisman, u. II. Jacobs, and John
Humid were elected directors for tn,
ensuing year for the Mimbres Valley
Farmers Association ut II meeting
held Wednesday afternoon ut the
courthouse. The balloting came at
the end Of II lengthy session and was
characterized by II spirited contest
for the honors of directing the af-
fairs Of the organization during the
course of its third year of useful
existence. The court room was filed
with farmers from every part of the
valley and those not present were
largely represented by proxies. The
Stockholders will meet again in two
weeks to outline policies for the year.
DID $4,000 BUSINESS
The report of the secretary of the
organization showed that almost
$50, 1000 worth Of business was trans
acted during 1914, $l9.3lS.70, to be
exact. The association has on hand
stock paid for and cash in bank ,o
the amount of $2.06l.95, and its
equipment and real estate fire. of in
cumbrance ir worth Sj.156.19. All
ihia besides the saving in the price
of oil to the farmer who are mem
bers. Since the oil j. sold only ut
u cent profit on the gallon and that
the price Is about half that charged
by the oil companies, it will be seen
that the saving is almost $4,000 To
the stockholders in this necessary
commodity alone. The work of or.
ganizing and acquiring the property
has taken only three years,
PROFITS ROLLING Up
The fact that the stock is earnin"
a dividend has brought the associa
ton face to face with the problem
of how to dispose of the accumulat
ing profits. II was thought in the he
ginning that there never would BE-
profits to any considerable amount.
considering the narrow margin of n
cent gallon, Some of the members
wish to cut this margin down that
all may enjoy cheaper oil while 9th
ers propose paying the Stockholders
their pro rata in dividends. Still
Others propose that the money be
used To enlage the activities of the
plant,
WILL ENLARGE
At the present time the association
handles little besides the crude oil
and first tops" which is the fuel
oils most in demand. Small amounts :
of lubricating oils were kept in stock
as well as some seeds and supplies
for the bean growers. In addition
the beans raised in the valley were
cleaned for all the farmers free of
charge and markets for them found.
The advisability of creating n mark %
citing bureau and of handling kcro-
sene and gasoline will be discussed.

THE AMERICAN ISSUE

we are opposed to any return to the domination of
toNicating liquors and that proposition looking
a resubmission Of the prohibitory amendment, and
that law which has for its object the re-establish
ment of places for the sale of liquor anywhere in
Kansas will be given serious consideration, either by
the legislature or by any of its committees.
Resolved, That copy of these resolutions be
spread upon the Journals of the house and senate and
that the chief clerk Of the house. and the secretary Of
the senate directed send certified copies of this
resolution to all states of the Union which have
legislatures convened in session for the enactment of
laws.
No acquainted with the tactics of the vets
will conclude for moment that even this solemn
statement from such high official will stop
the mouth of wet liars but ought at least to con-
vince any reasonable person that statements from wet
sources regarding the failure of Prohibition in Kan
sas are utterly Enthusiastically.
Commenting upon this fact the Kankakee Ga
zette says, editorally
There is great deal of dispute about how Pro-
mbtion, works in Kansas. The people of Kansas, the
politicians Of Kansas the big employers of labor, the
farmers and the people generally of Kansas say the
outlawing of liquor in Kansas has been fine thing
tor the state The testimony the other side comes
from people who to be interested in the sale of
liquor, and generally those who live outside of
Kansas. In any court, which would prove the most
competent testimony"

Kansas Legislature Brands Liquor
Statements as Libels


The effectiveness of Prohibition in Kansas is a
constant challenge the liquor interests They are
kept busy issuing distorted statements in vain effort
to prove that Prohibition in Kansas is failure.
Some time ago half page ad. appeared in of
the Chicago daily papers to the effect that there
larger percentage of arrests for drunkenness in To-
peka, Kansas, than in many wet cities This state
ment has been refuted time and again by official
statements from Kansas. No sooner, however, is
lbelous statement disproved than another is issued
from wet Realizing this the Kansas legisla
ture has been moved to take action and last week
passed the following resolutions:
Text of Resolutions
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 80 by Senator
Kinkel-Concernng the welfare of Kansas under Pro-
hibition.
Whereas, The liquor interests throughout the
country and those allied with them in their nearious
business, publishing abroad in form of paid adver
tsements in the newspapers certain false and defam
atory statements to the effect that Prohibition in
Kansas has caused increase in crime, death rate, hom
cdes, suicides, divorces and juvenile denquents; and
Whereas, The saloon trust in making of Jug
gled statistics, fasehoods manufactured by criminal
interests, allied to the alcohol venders and derogatoy
statements made by few unreliable and irrespon-
sble citizens of Kansas all with the intention of ere
ating prejudice in the minds of the legislators of 9th
er states, and thus influencing proposed antiquor
legislation; and,
Whereas, There is lobby, the members of which
profess to Kansas operating in the legislature of
the state of Utah. and alleging that evil follows in the
train of Prohibition and that the enforcement of the
prohbitory law in Kansas has resulted in multiplying
crime and deterioratng all the mental and moral fac
ulties of the people of Kansas; therefore, be it
Resolved, By the senate the house of represen-
tatves concurrng therein That all of such charges
beous and false and do but represent the senti-
ments of men who, when this state exied the saloon,
compelled to leave Kansas for her good.
Resolved that the of these statements is
true; that the state of Kansas is cleaner better
advanced in mental culture and stronger in moral fiber
and conviction; that her homes are happier and more
comfortable, her children better educated than
before in her history that crime is less prevalent and
poverty less general and that all this due largely to
the fact that the saloon is such outlaw that
of her school children have saloon and
unacquainted with the appearance of saloonkeeper
