\ OF MERIT
Meeting With Great Success,
As it Fills a Long Felt
Want

There are many new articles
being put on the market each
year, but seldom has any new
medicine gained the praise of the
public as Lemolac has. This is
due to the fact that Lemolac is q
substitute for calomel that really
does the work in such a pleasant
n. amer. It does not gripe, sicken
or salivate you and cause you to
lose time from your work. The
name, Lemolac, is very easy to
remember, as it is calomel spelled
backward We don't mind adj
vertisinq an article of merit and
we believe anyone will praise
Lemolac who gives it q trial.
We are advised that druggists
everywhere sell los of Lemolac.

SPRING IRRIGATION
And "The Home Garden" Will be
Topics for Discussion at Meeting
Agricultural Association

A meeting of the Otero County
Agricultural association was held
Saturday and two very interesting
hours were spent in the discussion
of several matters that will later
come before the association.
The question Of subjects for
future meetings was discussed and
several which cannot fail to inter-
est every good farmer were pro-
posed and referred to the subject
committee which has been ap-
yointed by President j. A. Spren-
gle and which is made up Of o. j.
Baxter, CLARK Kitchen and Glenn
Ryan, and the committee requests
that if there is any subject that
any of the farmers wish taken up
they will make it known in writing
to any member of the committee
or send it to the secretary of the
association.
The subjects to be discussed at
the next meeting, to be held Sat
urday. March 4, will be "The
Home Garden" and "Spring Irri-
CATION" and both are subjects that
should interest not only the farm
er but everyone who has few
square feet of land that can be
watered either from the city ditch
es or by hose, as every foot of land
is valuable.
There are plenty of subjects in
which you are interested if you
will let the committee know.
There was an interesting dis
cussion on several of the phases
of the cantaloupe question and
several of those present expressed
themselves as in favor of growing
cantaloupes and shipping them
Independent of any of the distrib-
utors. Another meeting of the
federation will be held next Sat-
urday.

"Dear Sirs:-The country is rapidly
approaching critical situation in the
merchandising of all textile materials.
because of the dyestuff situation. The
dyes are rapidly becoming exhausted, and
it is possible that the textile mills of the
country will soon be confronted with a
great scarcity of colors; the result must
inevitably be the loss of business for re-
tailers as we'll as manufacturers. If they
cannot get colored materials people will
not buy white. but will use, as long as
possible. their old materials. and do with
] much smaller number o! articles.
The stoppage of mills will mean not
simply the loss of goods to the retail trade.
but the loss of employment to everybody
in any way affected by the textile business
from the hands in cotton fields to the
man who buys necktie.
Capital hesitates to enter this field be-
cause of Insufficient protection against
German competition when the war is
over. and there cannot be dyestuff in
dustry on commercial scale created in
the United States unless capital is assured
OF reasonable return.
Moreover, ne country can be prepared
for war without a dyestuff industry in
time of peace. the plants being practical
ly interchangeable and no powder fac
tory can in time of peace be kept up for
war footing.
