COUNTY AGENT To
Be CONT UED IN
ESTANC|A VALLEY
Farmers Enthusiastic Over
Results and florence
County Commissioners Find
Money to Keep Up Work.

Estancia, \. NJ, Feb 20.-Torrance
county is to continue its county agent
for another year. This was decided
at largely attended meeting held in
Estanca Friday The county commits
sloners. after a careful survey Of the
finances of the county had reached
the conclusion that it would be i'm
possible for them to appropriate the
full amount needed to continue the
work. The law covering an over-eX-
pendture of funds is very emphatic,
and the commissioners. while they
were anxious to have the work con-
tinued, didn't deem it wise To pledge
money that they were unlikely to pos
scss when it came time to pay. They
felt, however that the county could
spare $500 from its treasury for the
amount required if the balance could
be raised in some other manner.
About six hundred farmers in the
valley, who had benefited last year

the work continued and after it was
found that it was only a matter Of
money which stood in the way, every
community in the county got busy on

which was within ninety-three dollars
of the amount needed to make up the
sum required TO retain the county
agent, the balance was raised in three
minutes, each of the county commits
sioners, Mr.. Juan Sanchez, Mr. Laba-
RADIO Valencia and Mr.. Lorenzo IA
mora, personally contributing to make
up the balance. The Ladies Aid of
Mcintosh, wired a contribution but the
amount needed was subscribed before
their generous offer arrived.
County Is Prosperous.
Torrance county had the best year
in its history last year and many men
are planning to put in silOs this year,
among the number being Allan Nc
GilVery. one of the largest sheep
growers of the valley, who will put IN
several sios and who Will, for the first
time, plant two hundred acres in for
age crops to fill them for feed next
winter. The bean crop was such a
success, and the prices received
through the efforts Of Mr.. Harwell,
county agent were so satisfactory, that
there will be large increase in acre
age in that crop this year.
Seventy-five farmers from all over
the county attended the meeting Fri
day and all felt that the valley was
coming into its OWE New settlers are
coming in constantly and the valley

rector James of the association and
Chief Clerk Rupert f. Asplund of the
department have drawn up an eN-
tremcly interesting and significant
tabulation of average school costs and
total expenditures that is guide for
legislative action as well as action by

into the cost problem. but on the
whole it is apparent that some iuris-
dictions are not getting their money
worth and it is not always the dis
trcts that spend most that are the
most eXtrayagant but that the greatest
extravaganza is found in counties that
spend least for their schools.
Last year. there were IN action IN
New Mexico 1886 public schoorooms.
1t cost an average of $659.57 per
schoolroom to pay for the teacher, the
fuel the janitor's services and mainte-
nance in general To this should be
added about $50 per room for state
and county supervisors without su-
pervision. the total spent for the pub
lie schools last year in this state was
as against $2,295,923
spent by the county of Los Angeles,
for instance, in the same period. OF
the million ANA a half dollars in
round numbers, 500 .07O.G4 was spent
for new buildings $63,539.60 for in

All Funds Raised
To Go to BroWnell
Hall Buildings

That every cent raised in the
Brownell Hall building fund campaign
will be applied to construction was
stated by trustees of the hall Mon
day in response to numerous inquiries
on this point
No part of the fund, they said,
would be used for the purchase of real
estate or to meet the expense of cam
paign direction. Nor will it be neces-
sary, they declared further, to apply
subscriptions to the payment Of back
debts. During recent years, in spite
OF the greatly increased cost of opera
ton, the school has been run without
a deficit.
Through the generosity of the
George brothers." said Bishop Will
liams, president Of the Brownell Hall
board of trustees, I'VE are provided
with the land necessary to the cree
ton Of our new buildings, Special
gifts from the trustees will cover all
the expense of campaign direction. So
every subscriber to the fund will know
that his contribution is responsible for

expect to construct on the Fairacres
property"
IN statement issued few days
ago. said w. Farnam Smith, Barton
Willard, secretary of the Brownell
Hall board OF trustees, showed that
during its period of existence in
Omaha the operating expenses OF this
school, together with the amounts
spent by the faculty and students,
were in excess Of $6,000,000. The sum

WELFARE BOARD Is
Big HELP TO MANY
Mcclure of Legal Aid Bureau
Tells of Some Cases Which
Board Has Aided.
WINS SUITS FOR THE POOR

T. J. Mcclure, attorney OF the lc-
gal aid bureau maintained by the
Board of Public Welfare, reviewed
for the information of the board some
of his recent experiences in extend
ing the services of the bureau to
applicants for aid.
Il find questionable methods en-
ployed by certain concerns opcrat-
ing under misleading names, have
in mind one concern said Mr.. Nc
CURE, which works under name
which suggests that it is a retail
is in reality collection agency. A
woman brought me paper she re-
ceivcd from this concern, the blank
having the appearance OF regular
court summons and attached was a
copy OF newspaper item relating
how small debt grew to $50
through accumulation of justice court
costs. The way some of these col
lection agencies harass unfortunate
people would surprise you.
Only yesterday small woman
with a j-year old girl came into my
Office and related her story. She told
me she was on the verge of suicide
and that only the thought of leaving
her children kept her from self-de-
| struction. ~
Methods Barbaric.
81 believe people should pay their
honest debts, but some dealers are
anxious to sell goods to patrons on
credit and then when misfortune
comes and the payments cease the
accounts are placed in the hands Of
collection agencies, whose methods
sometimes are almost barbaric."
During the last few days three
young women without means were
given legal aid and Mr.. MCGUIRE won
the three cases in municipal court.
One case was for $l4.46, due woman
who worked as insurance agent and
who needed the money. When the
case was reviewed in the muny court
she was given judgment.
The second case was against q shoe
repair man, who refused to give a
pair of Sc shoes for which the check
had been lost. The woman offered
to identify the shoes by another party.
In court the shoe man was ordered
to return the shoes and he had to
pay the costs as well.
A young woman from Geneva. Neb,
agreed TO work for boarding house
keeper at 81 per week. She worked
four weeks and a half and was nm
able to collect $1l.50 due her. Mr..
Mcclure took the case into municipal
court and the plaintiff was given
judgment.
