 Satisfied by the returns, MT.

CHUMS CLUB GIVES DANCE
Dance Held in Hail Saturday a
Great Success.

The Chum's Club is to be con-
graduated on the success of
their dance held in the Hall Sat
urday night, November 25th.
The hall was well decorated, the
floor in excellent shape, and the
music was fine. The dance Sc
lections were well programmed
and assorted, so that it would
have been impossible for one to
say, 81 can't dance that dance to
all the numbers"
While all the enjoyable feat
ures of a dance were much in
evidence at this affair, even to
the rafI ashments, the manage
ment is to be congratulated
more heartily for the moral of
The dance than for the condi-
tion of the floor, the tastiness
of the coffee and sandwiches, or
the fineness of the music.
There are very few people that
do not dance, and fewer still who
do not care to dance. Columbus
is sufficiently large to have reg
ular dances. 1t is believed that
| there will be a good attendance
at any dance, if it is known that
nothing but the highest grade
of entertainment will be tole-
rated.
The Chum's Club has endeav-
ored and succeeded in giving a
dance that will meet the pop
ular approval of the dance-goera
of Columbus, and it is to be
hoped that they will continue
their efforts.
The plan they have adopted
seems to be the best to be had
for it reserves to them the right
to refuse admittance to the hal
of any one that they have rea
son to believe undesirable.

PERSHING'S TROOPS
FEAST ON TURKEY

Sixteen thousand poands OF
dressed turkeys, 1000 pounds OF
cranberries, 100 boxes of apples
and oranges, 1000 pounds OF
plum pudding, and 1000 pounds
of candy and other dainties were
shipped south Tuesday for
Thanksgiving dinners for the
troops for the punitive expedi.
tiOn.
Thirty-three motor trucks, in
command of Captain w. f. Her
ringshaw, conveyed the cargo.
The lead trucks carried muslin
streamers bearing in red letters
the words THE Turkey Train. "
Extra guards boarded the cara
van as it departed for field
headquarters.
The train had a 500 bet with
another truck train that they
would reach Colonial Dublan in
twelve hours from the time they
left Columbus. The trip was
made in thirteen hours and the
Turkey Special lost the bet.

three friends believed in his
principles, but not in his integ-
rity. So they smirch his char
acter Job knows his own past
life; that he is no double-faced
hypocrite; that he has lived on
the square; and that he has been
upright His friends doubt him
and insist he needs the punish
ment. Blame the wise men not
too much for their idea of pun
ishment was that of the popular
theory, suffering is a punish
ment for sins. Even in the days
of Christ it was common, as seen
in the story of the blind man.
Then Christ said the Creator did
not give out full measure for
good and evil. Job still adheres
to faith in the Almighty. He
knows that my Creator liveth.
He knows all will be explained
when he meets the Creator face
to face. Now he becomes ag-
gressive and sweeps aside all
their arguments, accusing them
of disappearing. He draws on
facts of human life to show they
are wrong and that God does not
reward here people according to
whether they are good or bad.
He grows more wrathy at them
for their magligning God. as Job
sees it. He insists it is better
to serve God and suffer than
have great riches. Elihu speaks,
Gods scourges in two
ways, as tests, by suffering, or
by visions in the night at His
appearing to them. Why does
God permit man to suffer? Have
you ever thought of how we diff
fer from the lower animals.
Man remembers zad luck or suf-
fering. God leads man to truth
through this means.
After job had spurned what
friends said, God returns every
thing double fold. Job prays for
friends, forgiving them.
A good God may permit a
good man to suffer, if it leads
to the heights. The chisel Of
suffering may be the instrument
in the hands Of the Master
Sculptor.

sons and daughters had blessed
him. He was religious, famous,

philanthrophy. This was the

LUNA BANNER
SCHOOL COUNTY

While four counties are still
to report on their school census
for 1916, there are sufficient re-
turns to indicate that the total
number of school pupils in New
Mexico this year will more than
fulfill the prediction of $4,000
made some time ago by educa-
tional officials. I'VE have 49,
963 from % counties, and in
cluding the 1915 census of San
doval, Santa Fe, Sierra and Nc
Kinley,' said School Superin-
tendent White. These four
counties mentioned are included
in the total because we have not
yet received their new census.
Therefore, if these four coun-
ties show not a single gain, we
shall still be we'll above the 49,
| 600 mark
In 1915 New Mexico had no.
900 pupils. Already, therefore,
| there is a gain of about 5000.
| But it is believed that Sandoval.
Santa Fe, Sierra and Mckinley
will show fairly good increases.
So far. Luna county is easily
at the top of the school increase
column. Last year it had but
12O7 pupils; this year there -

NEWTON BILLED
FOR COLUMBUS


Much concern is being mani
Tested in the forthcoming star

contenders, Johnny Newton,
army welterweight champion,
and Floyd Johnson, popularly
known as the "Hachita Slug

nized Importance.
Newton is by far the best
known of the two men. His rec
ord is chalked up in bright let
ters of the fistic centers over
the east and southwest country
and covers a wonderfully sue
cessful harvest in the short time
he has been in the art. Newton
is popular, too, because he be-
haves like a little gentleman. To
see him in the corridors of our
large hotels, the average obser-
yer would point him out as
well groomed actor, or a success
full business man. Always quiet
and unobserving, Newton i'm
presses one as what is known in
these days-"A Regular Eel
low"
In the canvas square Newton
is the boxer, and the fighter,
too In the business because he
feels it is his business in life.
He gives everything he has in
his knowledge of the business
to an opponent. He matches
wits, gives and takes, just like
captains of commercial industry,
and from what he has displayed
since his arrival in the south
west, Newton is a coming cap
tain in his particular industry.
Men like Newton are a credit to
boxing and a credit to the boys
who wear the khaki. Newton is
a conscientious worker. a stu
dent, a close observer and an
all around good fellow. For pos

in that most of the men he has
met in the past have been army
boxers. OF course, in the army
there are lots of excellent men
. who shove a padded nit, but
they confine themselves mostly
to meeting their companions in
uniform. Then, again, they are
handicapped for proper training
apparatus and, in some cases,
their superiors are opposed to
boxing.
