D Carson Limping
Ipped-
On An Alarm Clock

If you have noticed David Arthur
Carson, of Palisade, limping around
town for several days past, it wasn't
because he has suddenly grown ole
and decrepid.
Last Sunday night, he explains, hi
saw two mosquitoes on the wall OF
his bedroom. "I'l just get those two,'
he said out loud to himself. He forth
with procured a. bath towel and pro-
ceeded to leap up in the air anG
thresh the ceiling after the two
skeets. He landed on one, and hac
jumped an awful distance high ur
after the other when
"Ouch!" he exclaimed. He had
come down on an alarm in the hol-
low of his foot.
"Did you land on the mantel piece p
one of his neighbors asked.
"No, l keep the alarmer on the
floor at the foot of the bed. l nearly
dislocated the arch of my foot, too. >
"Did you get the mosquito?"

.S54. 600 School Is
Voted By Fairuiew
On Tuesday Last

The special school election for an
appropriation for the new Fairview
school, which was held in the Bor-
ough hall last Tuesday evening, was
carried by vote of 118 in favor of
the proposition while only thirteen
voted against it.
Up until last Monday night it was
expected that the election would meet
with serious objections, owing to the
fact that the Taxpayers Association
had made it known in every possible
way that the members of that or
ganization would work against it.
This state of affairs was turned
about at an informal meeting of the
school trustees and a delegation from
the association which was held last
Monday evening in Lincoln school.
John Alderman did the talking for
the delegation representing the asso-
citation and it was evident that the
members of the organization were not
very well versed On the doings of the
towns officials. Until matters were
explained thoroughly Monday even
ing, Mr.. Alderman stated that it was
the belief of the association that the
proposed new building was to be nut
a small affair with only four rooms.
They did not know that the building
is to be one OF the modern school
buildings in the vicinity and that it
will have a spacious auditorium on
the second floor that can be convert
ed into class rooms at any time.
1t is believed that the work of get
ting the new building under way of
construction, will be started immedi-
ately. William Mayer, Of West New
York, is the architect and the plans
for the new building have been APP
proved by the State authorities.

MANY MEX|CANS WITH OUR ARMY
 0N THE BORDER
Military Officials Proud of Loyalty of Spanish Amer
 ican Legion.

Columbus, N. M., Sept. Military
 men here express themselves as en- thusiastic over the spirit and loyalty of the SpanishAmerican "lesion" that Is helping the American army guard it's Mexican boundary.
 One third of the men of the First New Mexico infantry, on station here as incorporated into the United States service, are of Mexican origin ,G some of them are of Mexican birth. Three companies of the regiment, A, E and L, are composed entirely of Latin Americans. The men, all res:- dents of the New Mexico, are mechan 1cs, clerks, vaqueros and farmers. a few also being college graduates in civil life. They speak, read ll,. write the English language, but Span ish being their mother tongue, they usually speak it when among them selves. It is not unusual to hear voices engaged in spirited argu- ment in Spanish arising from the tents of the New Mexico regiment. James Baca, of B company Santa Fe, him. self 8 Spanish says:
 There are sixty-eight Spanish Americans in my company. Give me siXty-eight plugs of chewing tobacco and sixty-eight canteens of water; leave out the grub and, together, we'll march one hundred miles with out a whimper.''
 Practically every company in the First New Meixco contains few men of Mexican descent and at least sevsn> tenths of the members of the regi me1t speak the Spanish language, it being pointed out that in the state there arc communities where English is never spoken except before strans,- CTS. Yet the enlisted men coming from these district are just as proud of their American citizenship as a'e the members of the Second Massachu- setts infantry, encamped at their side.
 Col D. c. Abbott, commanding tns New Mexicans, is especially enthusl- astic in praise of his Spanish-Ame"- can men.
 "When President Wilson called the state troops to the border our re3l- ment, the first to mobolize, was on it's way to Columbus within twenty four hours," he said. And, in my opinion, the most pleasing factor in the mobilization was the way our members respond ed. It mad been said that it the event of any impending trouble with Melxco, our Spanish Americans would be slow in coming forward. The reverse was true. They were among the first t' fall into the ranks and shoulder rifles"

Need More Training.

This is what one college president says in an address: with the Mul- tiplicity of subjects it is only to be expected that some anxiety may be felt as to the results from present-day methods of teaching. must confess there is some need for this sugges- ton of anxiety. Perhaps the pendulum has swung too far, or we may have discovered the correct scientific meth od of dealing with the subjects taught in tl.e elementary school. I feel con- that training is not receiving its fair share of attention. There was much wastage of time in the past, but the old-fashioned grinding was not without its good points, one of which was the cultivation of the faculty of sticking to q task until it was known."

Story of Atlantis Island.

Plato tells the story of the great island of Atlantis and puts its eXis- tence 5000 years before his time. His location of 1t is about huff way be- tween the western projection of Africa and the Gulf of Mexico. Its civiliza- tion was supposed to be very advanced and its powerful armies were said to have penetrated Africa as far as Egypt. The whole island, according to this legend, was engulfed by the sea in day and a night. Another story says that great earthquake destroyed the island. The legend was ascribed to Egyptian priests, and on some old Italian maps Atlantis is placed to the westward of the Azores. Among some tribes of South and Central Amerie;l tAcre.is the ieeehd nf vastFcataclysm which engulfed great extent of'land. Eminent scientists have found noth- ing impossible in the existence at some time of n great Atlantic island. but the story of Atlantis Is generally regarded as myth.

Misgiviugs of hitch in congress had virtually disappeared and there was a noticeable consequent lesscnng Of pressure to sell.
