As ugly as sin. and as black as the Pit,
few do not At,
A goat skin or two. and a rag on his
back -
He bears on his shoulders a dream
crowded pack.
He comes like a shadow far over the
hills.
He comes with his burden of sOrrOws
and thrills.
OF Love and of laughter; as light as the
foam
He springs down the trail with-the let
tiers from Home!
And here's one for You and another
for me
To bring US a glimpse Of the whispering
sea,
The tang Of the salt and the touch OF
the brine.
And a dream that was yours, and a
dream that was mine.
And this gives US spring in the far, far
away,
The perfume of thyme. and the scent of
the hay.
And the husk of a memory broken and
pale
These. these are the letters that come by
the Mail
And what would ye have but the trust
OF friend.
A letter to read. and a day dream to
spend.
A heat that can smile through the mist
OF the years.
And the dear written word that would
Danish the tears?
Though ugly he be and as black a. the
Pit.
With clothes nothing much and those
few do not At,
He might be an angel with wings white
as foam
For he brings to US Wanderers. letters
from Home!

EXTRA SESSION OF
LEGISLATURE NOW
SEEMS PROBABLE

AS Governor Lindsey expects
action by Congress on the army
bill this week which may change
to some extent the provisions of
the national defense act, says a
dispatch from Santa Fe, he will
wait for such action before issu-
ing his call for an extra session
of the state legislature to act on
state defense. His idea is to be
able to present an exact pro-
gram to the legislature so there
may be no excuse for delay. At
the conference last week Major
Llewellyn, speaker OF the house,
and Republican Floor Leader
Barnes, urged immediate action,
President Clark and Floor Lead
er Kaseman of the senate, coun-
selling delay until Congress has a
chance TO act. 1t was determin-
ed at this conference that the
state could at once secure $40, .
900 by the sale of certificates Of
Indebtedness and $50, 900 more
by June lst when outstanding
certificates to that amount would
be paid.

members of the Patrons Club
upon t he question, Resolved
That Latin Should be Discontin-
ued as a High School Study"
proved very interesting as well
as instructive. II took the third
set of judges to break the tie in
the decision as to winning side,
the affirmative being given the
victory. This side seemed to
have the best of the argument
all the way thru as there are re-
ally few things that can be said
in favor of occupying the pupils
mind with the study of a dead
language and one that can be
put to no practical use when
there are so many useful studies
to which the time of the student
can be devoted. The fact was
cited that DIR. Elliott of Harvard
and DIR. Abbott of Yale, two of
the most prominent educators of
the United States, had denounc-
ed Latin and went on record as
opposing the teaching of it in
the public schools. The fact was
also disclosed that practically all
the important colleges in the
country now require no know
ledge of Latin before admission
nor even in college work.
Among those requiring little or
no Latin might be mentioned,
Columbia, Cornell, Johns Hop
kins, Harvard, Oberlin, Yale,
Wellesley and others. While in
losing fight, it might b e stated
that the negative side debaters
acquitted themselves we'll not,
withstanding the fact that they
were unable TO make the judges
feel the force of their arguments

COMPANY
Meeting at Courthouse Was
Very Enthusiastic and Foun-

Protective Measures.

Pursuant to call of Mayor
Lutz a large crowd of Carrizozo
citizens assembled at the court
house Wednesday night for the
purpose of discussing plans and
organizing a home guard or com.
pany of minute men" who may
be called upon for immediate ac-
ton in suppressing possible dis
turbances. One purpose of the
organization may be to look after
the munition equipment of the
town and any necessary precau-
tions resorted to in order to pre-
vent its improvident sale, etc.
H. S. Campbell acted as chair
man and H. b. Dawson secre-
tary. The general plan agreed
upon was to organize into home
guard company in military fash
ion and as early as practicable
begin drilling practice. j. b.
French was chosen captain and
empowered TO select a first and
second lieutenant.
The organization is to be known
as the Patriotic League of Car

of Captain French. The secre-
tary was instructed to order at
once a quantity of manuals of
arms for use in drill practice.
The meeting was full of patriotic
sentiment.

Manganese Dis
covery May Mark
Beginning Of New
Industry in State
Writer in Mining Magazine
Optimistic Over Opportu-
mites Presented in Lincoln
County Field.

"The discovery of high-grade
manganese ores IN the Gallinas
mountains in Lincoln county
may mark the beginning of an
important industry for New
Mexico, the production of man
ganese." This is one of the state
ments made in the current issue
of the Western Mining Review
in lengthy write-up of the New
Mexico mining section.
Other excerpts from the ar
ticle follow:
THE parties developing the
properties are quoted as believ.
ing the work to be in the upper
zones, mineralized by fumes,
and while high-grade rock is
found, the average value is not
believed to be sufficient to ship
the product without sorting, but
depth will probably bring in a
more even ore, also silver. 1t
has been known for some time
that the district was very strong
| ly mineralized with manganese
in a form not usually found, but
generally indicating heavier ores
with depth and silver values in
addition. Sometimes d e p h
brings in gold values, and il
probably will in that camp, be-
cause there is always some gold
in the ores produced from the
different properties of the dis
trict. "
1T is understood that hun.
dreds of locations are being
made in the iron deposits OF
Lincoln and Socorro counties.
This iron is known to be in great
quantities and of an unusually
good commercial grade, but &
distance from a railroad "
"The recent organization of &
company with a capitalization OF
$3.50, 900 to take over the Corona
Queen properties near Corona
is expected to result in early op
erations. It is understood thai
the owners have sent out fol
| miners and will soon be at work
This property has produced some
very rich ore and development
will probably make it a groa
producer. "
Il. & o. Iron Co., operating
the Jones iron properties neal
Teeolote, is shipping about fifty
tons Of ore daily to the G. +. &
lG. at Pueblo. This is said u
be the best iron produced in tn,
west and is in demand. Mucl
heavier shipping could be made
but it is understood that the en-
ergies Of the owners are beinl
directed to the erection of al
iron furnace at that point.
