SCHOOL BOARD ENJOINED

BY a temporary injunction issued
by Judge Lieb, the 18th inst, on
prayer of II. b. Woodward, repre-
senting a number of citizens Of this
school district, the school board Of
School District No. One is enjoined
from selling the recent issue Of
bonds on the date set for sale, al
though they may receive bids.
Judge Lieb, in granting the in
junction. has for the time being
settled the matter of a suitable site
for the new school house, for the
simple reason that no school house
can be built until the bonds are sold.
On the Path inst. at Ration, Judge
Lieb will decide whether the re-
straining order will be dissolved or
made perpetual.
This injunction is the outgrOwth
Of some bitterness which has arisen
in connection with the location Of
the school.
II seems that the school board has
contracted TO purchase what they
believe 10 be a suitable site from the
townsite company, and that this site
is not to the liking OF many Of the
residents Of this district.
Those in opposition claim that
there are more suitable locations 10
be bad for nothing, two Offering o
$500 bonus, and that The school
board was hasty in their action,
which should now be rescinded and
a considerable sum saved the dis
trict by taking advantage Of the Of
fers Of free land and bonus.

DAVIS GREENHOUSE ADDS
new INDUSTRY TO LIST

With the addition OF we'll equip
ped greenhouse to the list of Clay
toms industries, the metropolis Of
North Eastern New Mexico is rap
idly coming to the front as a place
where all the needs OF the agricul-
turalists of the surrounding coun-
try can be supplied without send
ing out of town.
j. NJ. Davis is the man behind the
gun of the propogating industry, and
will soon be ready to furnish plants
of the tomato, pepper, cabbage and
celery to all who desire them. v
His propagating pit is full OF
plants ready for transplanting TO
the open and while his endeavor has
been mostly restricted to the prop
agation of vegetable plants he will
also have a quantity OF potted pan
seys and Violets, as we'll as other
house plants. No bulb culture was
attempted this year but another
year will see Mr.. Davis in a posi-
ton to furnish all OF the popular
bulbulous plants such as crocus,
gladoli, hyacinth and tulips.
With the completion of green
house about the middle of August
Davis will Immediately enlarge his
scale of operations ana will be able
to furnish cut flowers for all occa-
sions, The new green house is to
be twenty-eight by fifty feet and
will be enlarged as the business de-
mands. \ special effort will be
made to keep on hands at all times
a sufficient supply or roses, carna-
! tions, pansys, geraniums and vio-
lets, not only for the cut flower
trade, but potted for winter bloom
ing house plants.
/ Whether an effort will be made 10
raise winter vegetables, or not, is
yet a matter for conjecture. Lack
lof room, with only the one house,
will probably forbid such work this
coming winter, but as the business
is enlarged it is the idea of the pro-
prietor to raise every flower and
vegetable that it is practical TO
daise in a propagating pit or a green
house.
This is the first season that Union
County farmers have had the op-
portunity TO purchase home grown
plants for transplanting into their
gardens and fields, having hither-
to been compelled TO order from out
of town propagators or nurseries.
Many advantages are secured in the
home grown plants in that they are
acclimated and are of variety
known TO do we'll in this altitude
and soil.

.RIEGELMAN CONCERT A
TREAT FOR MUSIC LOVERS

Music lovers of Clayton and the
surrounding country were given a
real treat last Monday evening when
Miss Mabel Riegelman appeared in
concert before an appreciative aud
iencc at the Mission theatre.
The program consisted of eighteen
numbers, selections from the opera
of the day and the simpler songs
which relieve the tension incident
to the rendition of the more class
ical VMis Riegelman sings with the
least possible exertion, naturally as
bird. Every number was heartily
encored and the prima donna re-
sponded graciOusly with simple and
difficult selections not on her usual
repertoire.
While not the most difficult selec-
ton on her program the aria De
puis lie Jour from Carpenters
Louise was perhaps the most
beautiful and most artistically rem
dered number, and Miss Riegelman
sang it in a manner to justify the
reputation she has won in the Eu-
ropean opera.
"Gretchel," her favorite part, and
one of the songs in which she scor-
ed such a success during her tour
in Germany, was rendered with a
charm of manner and in dulcet tones
that Immediately won her auditors
to the German opera and One Fine
Day from Puccini's Madam But
terlly'' was especially fine.
Her hearers were impressed with
the technique and rythm Of Caro-
Nome, from Nerdi's "Rigoletto," and
the eXquisitness with which Miss
Riegelman closed her recital by rem
dering The Year IS at The Spring.
surpassed, if possible, her former
numbers.
Immediately after the concert Miss

and for the past eight years a well
known and respected resident of the

home of A. 4. B. Miller, near Thom-
as, Monday April tenth. Death was
due TO a complication of diseases
which the worn out body of the
good man was unable TO resist. The

great kindness Of Mrs. Miller who
had the deceased removed from his
lonely homestead 70 her home few
days prior TO his death and cared
for him with all the solicitude of
one OF his own daughters.
The body was laid at rest in the
Thomas burying ground Tuesday,
the eleventh.
Mr.. Anderson came 10 Thomas
-4EBm the east in 1908 and was one of
the first homesteaders in that sec
ton. He had made his home there
ever since. He is survived by rela-
tives in the east and by a sister, Mrs.
Nevada Dixon, at Yale, Oklahoma.
His will names Mr. Miller as ad-
ministrator.

the United States, and with the for
eign markets opening up beans from
Union Couny will feed the world. /
