Editor Journal:
l. Perhaps you will be kind enough
to afford me sufficient space in your
excellent paper for this letter, in view
of the fact that grew up in Pen
sacola and am therefore addressing
my neighbors and friends.
Dear old Florida! How often the
old associations, friends and haunts
of my boyhood come thronging back
as I keep a lonely vigil while on guard
in this border country. Not that I am
homesick-but it is both natural and
fitting that a son of '"The Land of
Flowers" should ever regard it as the
one place on earth, no matter where
he may roam.
AS member of the Houston Light
Guards, on May 10th, of this year,
along about eleven o'clock, we boarded
the train for San Antonio.
Many of the boys lacked hats, leg
gins, ETC., and many more had no guns,
but all were eager for any adventure
which war with Mexico might bring,
and there was no grumbling. We ar
rived in San Antonio the next morn
| ing early and were marched to Fort
Sam Houston, where we began pitch
ing large square and conicle tents.
Drilling began at once, and we had
plenty of it. Little by little we were
fitted out with clothing, guns, hats,
shoes, -kits-in fact the full
equipment of soldiers.
The work was hard and the hours
were long but the men were all tough
ened in time and so suffered no great
inconvenience.
! Then, one morning we broke camp,
climbed into huge army motor trucks
and whirled away to station, where
we entrained for Harrington, Tex.
our present camp, which is located
eight miles from the border at its
nearest point. Right in this connec-
ton, wish to state, that the full
equipment of the u. S. soldier In
'heavy marching ORDER" these days
weighs about sixty-five pounds; but
the day we left San Antonio, we each
carried fully one hundred pounds as
our haversacks and blanket rolls con-
tanned extra baggage not usually car
ried while on march.
This country, here around Harlin'
gen, is a rich section, the soil being 9
reddish to dark loan, dusty in dry
weather and a sea of sticky mud wher
wet. Rains come in torrents at this
season of the year, but the annua
rainfall is so light that irrigation il
necessary. The country is covered
with stunted mesquite trees, brus!
and cactus and there are plenty 0.
Mexicans, centipedes, tarantulas ant
rattlesnakes.
We have the headquarters of tn
First Battalion and Field Hospita
with US and our company is admitted
ly the largest and best drilled in tn
battalion.
As to danger, I can't say there j
a great deal, yet owing to the grca
number of Mexicans here and on
nearness to the border, there is Away
: the chance of a raid. Not long ag
. the outpost guarding the flume fou
miles from town, was fired on aboU
eleven o'clock at night.
Next week we begin work upon on
new camp, south of town, which wi
mean work for us all.
Just how long we will be out, nov
that we are mustered into fedora
: service, no one knows, but the boy
, all think this trouble will end by on
going into Mexico.
Well, / viii say good-by, for thi
time, and will RossibIY write anothe

New Mexico State Fair.

The poultry show at the state
fair this fall not only is going to
be the largest ever held at the
exposition, though the one last
year had nearly 1000 birds in il,
but it is going to cover the broad.
est area Of territory Of any poult
ry show ever held IN the south
west.
Previous shows have called in
birds from Indiana, Michigan,
California and the southwest, but
for some reason difficulty has
been experienced in getting poul
try from southern New Mexico
and western Texas. This din.
Guilty, it has been announced by
Superintendent j. d. Notgrass,
now has been zone away with.
Thanks to the efforts of Dr..
Holman, president of the FL Paso
poultry association, a number of
owners OF that section have prom
ised to enter birds in the contest
here. This means an addition of
several hundred fine fowls to the
show, which always has been a
good one and one of the sterling
features of the fair.
Many fine cups and trophies
have been donated for the show,
including the Cove nor'S cup for
the largest and best display by a
single entrant. This Is a massive
silver affair, standing nearly two
feet high.
One of the distinct features of
the state lair will be- the annual
state rifle tournament, in which
teams from rifle clubs all over
the state compete for substantial
prizes. The tournament a ;
held for the first time last year
and vas arranged upon compare

much work was done on il early

There has never been any complaint to the
citizens from the military in regard to the
water supply. Deming, no viewer, has registered
a complaint. Demine has claimed that there
was no water in Columbus, disreeardine the
fact that all the large wells in the Mimbres
Valley are in and around Columbus. Wells
with capacities as high as $500 gallons per
minute would be furnished upon request. Yet,
according to an authority at Deming, we have
no water.
What is the idea of having soldiers on the
border anyway? The intentions Of the govern
ment undoubtedly must be for protection.
Then why bring troops to the border, and then
move them in forty miles? If trouble should
arise it would take two days for infantry to get
to the border from Demine if they went over.
land. BY rail it would take as long. or even
longer, to get cars and transport the men to the
border, a distance of not less than $50 miles.
Information has been received from Deming
sources that some of the officers high up in
military circles are recommending that the base
be moved from here to Deming. This We can
not believe. The reasons given for the recon.
mendations we have not learned, Probably to
get free water. But there surely must be some.
thing more behind the move than water. 1t
does not seem to us that the administration
would sanction the adding of 35 to 40 miles to
the distance of transportation at the expense of
hundreds of thousands of dollars in order to
save a small sum on the water expense.

KIDNEY DISORDERS
QUICKLY RELIEVED

Leading druggists everywhere are
establishing new records in the sale of
medicine. Believing that no medicine
ought to be paid for unless it does the
user some good they have adopted the
plan of selling Solvax, the standard
kidney remedy, under a positive guar
antee of quick relief from all kidney or
bladder misery, or money back without
a question. This speaks eloquently for
the virtues of the remedy and already
has created a widespread demand for
it here in Salem Hundreds of people
in every walk Of life have been re-
lieved of the agonies attendant on
weak, disarranged or clogged-up kid
neys and bladder by this remarkable
remedy. 1t is not Just merely a kidney
treatment, it is medicine tnat aims to
put the entire, palnracked body into
normal condition and give vigorous
health after the many painful disorders
caused directly or indirectly by sick
kidneys. A change for the better will
be seen after the first few doses of
SolvaX and its continued use should
tone up the entire system of improp-
.erly working organs and give the de-
sire to live and enjoy life to its full
est.
Solvax is considered by many the
best kidney remedy on the market to-
day because it aims to cure by striking
directly at the cause Of all the trouble
The many pains and aches caused by
Improperly working kidneys cannot be
permanently cured unless the cause is
removed.
SOlvax is sold under positive guar.
antee to refund the money if it does
not cure. This is the strongest proof
that can be offered as to the merit of
the medicine. You are cheating your
self out of your slice of life if you do
not give SOlvax a chance Get it today
from Daniel j. Fry or any leading
druggist in this vicinity.
