Have a Hobby
and Cultivate 1t
BY EBERT HUBBARD.

Every man and woman should have
a vocation and an avocation.
Your vocation is the thing YOU de-
pend upon for your bread and butter
and clothes and house rent.
Your avocation is your plaything,
your rest, your recreation, your
emergency brake, your psychic gov
ernor, your electric fuse that takes
care of your when there is danger Of
short circuit.
Your avocation brings into play
another set of mental muscles and
gives you fit preparation for the bat
tie of life.
1t supplies resiliency of resisting
power, lands endurance, courage faith
and self-reliance.
The farmers wives who 60 insane
do so for lack Of fad, a hobby. a
play-spell.
The business men who slip their
trolleys and the specialists who go bug
wouldn't if they had a hobby and gall
loped it hard and fast an hour a day.
If your work is indoors get a hobby
that takes you out. If your work is
head-wOrk get q fad that makes you
use your hands and feet.
If nothing else, be a fight fan or a
baseball fiend.
These things will inspire you to get
a medicine ball ana use 1T, or an in
door baseball and pull the household
including your wife, the children,
grandpa and the hired girl-into the

complained but little Of being sick.

work in the usual manner. Sometime
during the night she became sick and
her daughter attended her twice but
thought II only temporary, Shortly
after the second time the mother fell
into sleep from which she never
awoke.
The neighbors and family could not
believe she was dead, but such was the
case and the grief-stricken children
were forced to part with their dearest
earthly friend.

LANDS OF OPPORTUNITY

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Dec. 9.-That
twenty lands of opportunity below the
Rio Grande are opened by the new
courses in Latin American training
now being offered 10y the University Of
New Mexico, was shown by Prof. Ros-
coe X. Hill, professor of history and
Latin-American training, in his OPEN
ing series of addresses to the new
classes which promise to assume a
large proportion with the opening Of
the second semester at the University
January 4th. Prof. Hill showed that
during the past summer 81 American
Universities and colleges added these
Latin-American courses, in response
to the imperative demand from COM
mercial interests for young men who
are trained in the language, social and
economic conditions. geography, re-
sources and history of the Latln-Amer
lean Republics. In addition he show
ed that many large financial and COM
mercial institutions, like the National
City Bank in New York City are train
ing their own young men in the de-
tails necessary to successful work
south of the Rio Grande.
Because Spanish is spoken generally
in New Mexico and because the Anglo
Saxon and Latin Americans are in
closer touch here than elsewhere in
the United States. Mr.. Hill consid-
ers New Mexico an ideal field for the
new work. Educators all over the
state are ahowing the keenest inter-
est in the new department, which IL
is believed offers special inducement
to young men Of Spanish parentage TO
enter fields Of higher education.
The enrolment in the Latin Ameri-
can courses is already large but prom
ises to be much larger with the OPEN
ing of the second half term at the
University the first of the year.

Won Papen, respectively naval and mil
itary attaches Of the German embassy
here, in accordance with Secretary
Lansing's request.

Objectionable by the United States.

BASKET BALL GAMES
BECOME INTERESTING
HIGH SCHOOL BOYS PUT UP AN
EXTRA FINE DEFENSE AND
WIN FROM TOWN TEAM
XXX. WINS IT'S GAME
FROM THE CLOS

The basket ball games at the opera
house last Friday night were full Of
life and the spectators were well paid
for their attendance.
The X. KS and Clos played the
preliminary and after the first few
minutes things livened up and both
teams put up an excellent game. The
iirst haif ended with the Clos In
the lead by about four points. The
second half was n waik-away for the
X. KS and the fast forwards threw
basket after basket from the field
while the Clos were unable to make
but two more scores. The game ended
with the X. KS winning out by big
majority.
The boys game between the II. s.
and town team was fast and furious
from start to finish. The first half
ended with score of l3 to 6 in favor
Of the II. s. The second more scoring
was done by both teams and the game
was won by the II. s. by a score Of a.
to 81.
A number of new players were tried
out and IL was found that there are
number of good players who will
make good when given a regular berth.
Better team work is what both need
and 1t takes practical experience TO
get it. We understand these two ri
walls will meet again this week and
next in order to put the IL. S. team in
shape to play the strong Las Vegas
team who will be here on the 18th.
The Las Vegas team had the reputa-
tion last year of being the best in the
State. We hope Tucumcari will show
them few things when they meet
here in the first real game of the
league season.
Season tickets are being sold for
these games and everybody who be-
lieves in backing the home town and
placing it upon the map, should buy
one or more tickets. They are trans
ferable and may be given TO friend
any night you are not able to attend.
Our citizens will see such teams as
Albuquerque, Ration, Santa Fe, Santa
Rosa and Las Vegas will send out to
bring home the bacon" A special
price is being charged for the season
tickets which we understand will be
put on sale at $500. This will include
the Clovis games, and each night the
boys and girls will both play, making
twelve games for $500, or fraction
over Ice game.
