ABO ROAD IS
State HIGHWAY

Rev. r. e. Farley, cf Noun.
tainair, brought the news from
Santa Fe last night that both
houses of the legislature yester,
day had declared the Abo high
way a state road. Mr.. Farley is
secretary Of the Abo highway
association which was organized
a short time ago at Vaughn.
Col. D. X. B. Sellers is a vice
president.
The Abo highway runs from
Albuquerque through Abo pass
in the Manzano mountain8 south
of here to Nountainair. 1t runs
from Mountainair east to Clovis,
through every town on the Santa
Fe railways Belen cutoff, ="
parallel to the line. 1t is said
very little work will have to be
done to put the route in good
condition.
A strong argument advanced
by the association in favor Of
the states declaring the Abo
highway a state road was the
fact that it was the only trans
state route entering Albuquerque
from the east that has been open
all winter. The National Old
Trails route, coming from the
northeast, was blocked by snow
and travel over the Panhandle
Pacific was cut of oy deep snow
in Tijera5 Canyon for a time, ne
cessit&ting a dotour by incoming
tourists through Abo pass.
Mr.. Farley was in Santa Fe a
week ia the interest Of the asso-
citation. He was on his way
home last night. While here he
learned from the president Of
the association that arrange
ments were being made to ex-
tend the road from Clovis to
Amarillo, Tex, thence to Kansas
City and through st Louis to In
dianapoIis - Albuquerque Jour
nal.

GOOD WORK

H. T. Brehmer, an expert
typewriter machinist and adjust
er, has been working in Estan,
cia this week. He has overhaul
ed practically every machine in
town, and in several cases has
forestalled the purchase Of new
machines by making the old
Iones as good as new, thus saving
the owners almost tie price of
new machines. Those who have
been grumbling about gummed
up, dirty typewriters. are now
smiling over machines that work
like new. Where tits so much
trouble and inconvenience to send
typewriters away for overhaul.
! ing, it is a real boon TO have q
man like Mr.. Brehmer happen
along.

A FARMERS
INSTITUTE

Letters have been received
here from Hon. Ralph C. Ely
which read as follows:
Arrangements have been made
with A. G. Cooley director, OF
Agricultural Extension work for
New Mexico, connected with the
department of Agriculture at
Washington and working in con-
junction with the New Mexico
College Of Agriculture, to give a
three days institu 9 to the farm
ers of Torrance comfy at Willard
March 18th, Estan ia on the l6lh
and at Moriarty - the 17th.
There will be several lr..ncu men
present to le2ture on themes that
are of vital interest to the people
Of Torrance county.
| hope that the state may make
provision for more farm demon
strators by making an appropria-
ton during this legislature and
that one Of these may be located
in Torrance county.
The farm demonstrator has
been found to be more efficient in
getting results than the model
farm or experimental station"
Estancia people have taken
hold of the matter and arrange
ments have already been made
for the meeting here. No doubt
Willard ard Moriarty people
have been equally prompt.
1t now remains only for the
farmers and their wives-the
people most vitally interested
to attend and hear what the mes
sage Of the experts is.

COLLEGE SPEAKERS
TO Be HERE.

In regard to the farmers in.
stitutes to be held in this county, al
Willard next Monday, at Estan.
cia next Tuesday, and at Mortar.
ty next Wednesday. a letter
from Hon. Ralph c. Ely says:
L am just in receipt of let
ter from Mr.. A. C. Cooley which
contains the following:
AS to the people who are 60
ing from the College, will say
that DR.. Humbert will discuss
crops; Professor Latta, dairying;
Miss Ross will take up various
lines of home economics; and
personally, l will explain the ex-
tension work and will lay special
stress on the values of the coun-
ty agent. We should like to
have separate meetings for the
ladies in the afternoon, and the
evening session has been held
conformity. In some places we
have held what we call a farm,
ers' round table, at 10 A. NJ, at
which there were no lectures de-
livered, but every farmer was
given an opportunity to ask any
questions that he might have. "
AS heretofore mentioned, full
arrangements have been made
for these meetings in Estancia,
and of course arrangements will
be made at Willard and Mori-
arty.
We hope some member of the
family from every household in
the county will attend these
meetings.
Without the slightest doubt, !
all can derive some benefit from
them.
Make your plans an ID on the
spot without fail.

SOME MORE WEATHER

We have about decided to keeL
the story about the weather
standing, as for the past few
weeks it would not have required
much change.
During the past week we have
had another snow of three inches
which made .18 of an inch of
moisture. This came on Monday
and Monday night.
Monday and Tuesday night
made the same mark for cold
above zero.
1t was 45 above on Saturday,
DO above on Sunday, % above
Monday, AZ above Tuesday, 46
above Wednesday. Today it is
threatening storm again.
The roads have been the worst
yet, and by far the worst ever
known in the valley.
Farmers from the foothills
country say there is still about
four inches of snow on the ground
there, and of course it is all sorts
of depths in the mountains.
The ground is the wettest ever
known. To illustrate, it is told
as a fact that Will Sutton in driv-
ing post, found that it kept 60
ing easily, and just by way of
experiment continued to drive it
until he had it down six feet.
Conservative farmers tell US
there can be no doubt about a
good crop this year for those who
farm right.

France does not solicit our aid, makes
no appeal or petition to our sympat hies,
but we do not forget how much we are
indebted to France In the days of our
struggle for independence. Washington
wrote from Valley Forge, France by her
supplies has saved us the yoke so far"
and Lafayette, whose memorial statue oc-
cupies the place OF honor on the campus
of the University of Vermont, obtained n
personal credit OF $1,000 sterling to pnr-
chase shirts and shoes and other neces-
saries for the colonial troops.
We are proud now II we can offer some
slight recognition to France when she is
lighting for her life.
The following quotations from private
letters from France tell their own tale:
1--WE must appeal to private charity. In
the beginning little money would have
saved many lives of young men. 1t ia
between the ages of Is and % most of
them die. The mortality is fearful"
ITO continue our work we must have
money, bedding, washing and disinfcct-
ing apparatus and food
I'VE have absolutely nothing here. Our
men have no socks--they wear their dirty
uniforms In bed. We have no clean
shirts. no bed Jackets. no slippers. There
are $50 wounded. sometimes 800 Most of
the men are terribly injured. I helm with
the dressings and see some awful sights.
Would he grateful for anything you might
send. You have no idea how badly things
are needed, practically everything"
The supplies will he sent through the
| French Wounded Emergency Fund ISL
Boyston street, Boston, as tho quickest
and easiest way to ensure proper packing
and sterilization. This emergency fund
receives and forwards every week to over
200 small hospitals In Normandy and Brit
tany. Later they will hope to extend the
service through Bordeaux to the southern
and western provinces, where the hospi-
tails arc especially In need of help.
A room has been offered In the m risi,
