NEW SILVER MONEY.

1t is hoped to have the new coins re-
Gently authorized by the treasury de-
partment ready for circulation by
Christmas. So do not be surprised if
you are given bit Of strange coin
around the Yuletide that looks strange
to you 1t is said some little trouble
is being experienced in getting the
new money mechanically perfect, but
this will soon be overcome, and as soon
as it is thes Inning new half dollars,
quarters and dimes will be sent out
through the banks to the public.
The design of the new half dollar
Eears full length figure of Liberty,
the folds of the stars and stripes fly
ing the breezes as a background, pro-
crossing in full stride toward the
dawn of a new day and carrying
branches of laurel and oak, which are
symbolic of civic and military glory.
The hand of the figure is outstretched
in bestowal of the spirit of liberty. The
reserve side shows an eagle perched on
a mountain crag, wings unfolded. From
a rift in the rock is a sappling of
mountain pine, symbolical of Amer
lea.
The design of the twenty-fve-centI
piece is intended to signify prepared
ness. There is a new figure of Liberty,
full length front view, head to the left,
stepping forward to the waterway of the
country, and on the wall are the words
In God We Trust" The left arm Of
Liberty is raised bearing a shield in |
the attitude of protection. The right
hand carries the olive branch of peace.
Above the head is the word Liberty"
and on the step under her feet 1916"
The reverse shows an American eagle
With wings extended.
The design of the new dime is more
simple, necessarily, because X is
mailer. The diverse shows a head of
liberty with winged cap. The reverse
hows a bundle of rods with battle ak,
iymbolical of unity. About this is a
I'll foliaged branch of olive, to typify
oeace.
The designs for the half dollar and
lime were executed by Adolph A.
yeinman, and for the quarter dollar,
herman A. Macneil, both of whom are
of prominence.-Say

THE CATTLE TICK.

Not many people are aware of the
striking handicap which hangs over
Sumter county in the cattle business,
but the pointed fact was brought home
sometime ago in an announcement, al
most unnoticed. that one thing which
caused the postponement OF the Third
Agricultural District Fair was that no
cattle could be brought in this county
because of the quarantine against a
tick-infested area. Sumter county is
enc of the dark spots on the cattle map.
Along with many other counties in
Georgia she has not taken up the work
of graduating the Texas fever cattle
tick and for that reason the strong
arm of the state and federal govern
ments forbid the importation and ex-
portation of cattle to and from this
county, as in every county where the
work has not been completed and the
quarantine lifted.
The tick situation has been given
more or less attention by people OF
this county, but no concerted action
has been taken looking towards the CO.
operation of state, county and federal
government for the beginning of the
work. The board of Sumter county
commissioners are progressive and
to the needs of the people.
They have had the matter under adj
visement, and the Times Recorder
hopes that they will soon announce
ready to begin the work in Sumter
county.
Every movement begun which has
the boil weevil as it's enemy is good |
Tor this county and section. The syrup
plant was a ten-strike. The extensive
raising of velvet beans is a blessing.
And so, with the destruction of the
cattle tick the progress of this county

No Wonder

Is there any wonder that the
old regime in the administration
of city affairs is satisfactory to
the Journal, when DR.. Dillon,
owner OF the paper is city pny-
sician and Jack Hull, editor, is
city councilman and also city
printer. When the nominee on
the Citizens ticket for city treas.
urer was not satisfactory to the
banks. they did not hesitate to
speak out in meeting. Of course
no one spoke about the CITY print
ing or the position of city physi
cis ! and health officer. No one
save perhaps the News man 81 {
the doctors wei ir,ers. ted in tht
other matters al d it wouldn't
have been ethical to have men
toned it. Are the people any
more interested in the city depos.
its than thev are in the Other
matters? Perhaps not. After
all it generally depends upor
whose OK is gored.

Main street Saturday March 25.

remodeled to suit the needs of
an institution of this kind and it
is a model of beauty and con.

thing in New Mexico can excel
the interior finishing and deco
rating. The new fixtures which
arrived this week and have been
put into place. are of oak and
white Italian marble. They
represent quite an investment.
s. A. Jones. who was for a
time connected with the First
National Bank, is cashier and
Petree is assistant cashier.
Their policy will be strictly
banking. extending to the public
every courtesy consistent with
conservative banking methods.

The heads of the Democratic.
Republican and Socialist parties
in Clovis are supporters of the
Independent ticket. because they
are tired of this two men rule
the town" system. The men
nominated for aldermen are all
prominent business men who
own property and have been
closely identified with the best
interests of the city for years.
Mr.. Curless of the first ward has
never been too busy with his
own affairs, but that he had
time to put in some effective
work for the city. Any chair
man of the Chamber of Com
merce will verify the statement
that Mr.. Curless was one of the
mainstays in the organization
and one who could be called upon
and depended upon at all times,
to do all he could for the upbuild-
ing Of the community. The
same might be said of the other
nominees, though they have not
been so intimately associated
with the booster" organiza.
tions.
" H. Duckworth was selected
as chairman of the meeting and
Fritz B. Herod as Secretary.
The following aldermen we're
nominated:
1st ward. Bert Curless
End ward, Joe Sellers
3rd ward, J. A. McFarlin
4th ward. A. l.. Gurley.
RESOLUTIONS
Resolutions offered by A. E.
Curren were freely discussed and
unanimously adopted. Those in
terested in the proposed increase
in the water and light charges
and the $35, 900 bond issue real
lied that now is the time and
that that was the place to dis.
cuss the matter. 1t is needless
to state that the people of Clo-
Wis own the $125. 600 water and

taxes upon that issue. To issue

CONDITIONS in MEXICO
ARE MORE SERIOUS
Two Thousand Carranza Soldiers Join Villa Forces, and
Cut Wires Behind American Commander Fear that
Other Mexicans will Join Outlaw and that General
War will Result. Sherman Wants $4,000 Volunteers.

Press dispatches today tell of
the joining of the forces Of Gen.
eral Herrera, military Governor
of Chihuahua, with those of the
bandit Villa and that more are
on the verge of a mutiny against
the Carranza government.
The telegraph wires behind
General Pershing have been cut
in many places and the wireless
out of order, making eommuni-
cation with the front impossible.
Senator Sherman Of Illinois has
introduced a resolution in con-
gress asking for 50,0 volun-
teers as he anticipates more
trouble. Troops are being rush.
ed from all parts of the country
to the border as the situation is
assuming serious propo rtions.
The advance guard of the Ameri-
can troops are close on the heels
of the Villa forces near tine
Sierra Madre mountains and
clashes are believed to have al
ready occurred. A captured
Villa bandit reports that Villa
promised each of his bandits an
American woman f enough
could be taken in Columbus to
20 around.
General Sherman in discussing
the purpose of his resolution
said:
II wish now to warn those in
authority in the executive de-
partment that we are trifling
with the lives of men. with the
safety of our border states and
with our national honor more
than some seem to appreciate.
IF it be neglected, the delay
then in a crisis will be a blunder
and the kind of a blunder that
is worse than a crime. The best
method of redeeming ourselves
from disaster is to be prepared
before tn disaster arrives.
That is the purpose of this
resolution.

Dissatisfaction among the ma
jority of business men and tax
payers of Clovis. in the selection
Of some aldermen on the citizens
ticket and the endorsement of
some II am running the town"
supporters of that ticket. were
the chief facto.s that led to the
nomination of an INDEPEN,
DANT PEOPLES TICKET at a
mass meeting of citizens and
tax payers held at the Elks lodge
hall last night. The statement
Of those who for personal or
selfish motives dubbed the move
ment that of "disgruntled vets
and socialists" is not one of
facts. If the News thought that
prohibition had anything to do
with the matter, We would re.
fuse to be a party to it, but it
DOES NOT and CANNOT, be-
cause the prohibition question
was settled last month for a
period of FOUR YEARS and
there will be at least another
city election and possibly two
before it could be revived in any
instance.
K. C. Childers was endorsed
or in other words nominated on
the Independent ticket for
mayor because he was thought
to be we'll qualified for the place
and no opposition ever developed
against his nomination. The
same is true of the city clerk
and city treasurer, though some
dissatisfaction by the other
hanks against the treasurer was
an evidence.
