pie OF Oppressed Country.

London. June 1G.-Arthur !. galfour
foreign secretary, TODAY signalizea his
first public appearance since he re-
turned from the United States bv a
speech at the second annual meeting
OF the national committee for relief In

IN his address, Mr. Balfour advised
every one to read President Wilson's

and at the same time to bear in mind
Germany's actions and policy in Bel.
GUM. In it yon will find justification
OF this great alliance among all ma
tons who love liberty against the
monstrous tyranny and coercion with
which the civilized world Is threatened
If we submit to an inconclusive and
ineffective peace"
The action of the United States in
taking over the whole cost of the relief
In Belgium was greeted with loud ap-
planse
In connection with The statement
that the United states has taken the
entire costs of the relief in Belgium
announcement was made some time

OF the relief commission. that through
sympathetic arrangements made by
President Wilson and Secretary of the

Belgium and northern France. so far

the next six months by the American

Age Of
Normal University
Graduate Is Is

East Las Vegas, N. M, Aug. 2S.--
The average age Of the graduates of
the high school department OF the
New Mexico Normal University this
year was 25 years. This is an indica-
ton that teachers of the country
schools of the state who have not had
the opportunity Of taking high school
work are availing themselves Of the
course offered by the Normal Univer.
sity. Were they compelled to attend
regular city high schools, where the
average attendance age is Is or 49,
years, in order to get the desired work
these teachers often would allow
pride to interfere with their education.
At the state school, however, they find
SO many other workers Of their own
age taking the same kind Of courses
that they are encouraged to continue.
The advantage OF being able to get
high school work in the summer sea-
son and In the spring after country
schools have closed enables the teach
ers to utilize their vacation time to
advantage. Many have completed
the course of the high school In this
way and are now working on regular
normal courses. The Normal high
school department in no way conflicts
with the public school high schools. It
has been found much more satisfac-
tory than the academy, which is sup
planted. A pupil who completes its
course has credits which will admit
him to college or university work.

able force is now at work making the
necessary preparations for the open

3. The fact that the new high school
building will not be ready for occu-
pancy before the middle of the school
year. together with the increases in
teaching force necessary to take care
of the growth Of the city, has made it
imperative to equip a number of adj
ditional school rooms.
A year ago Clovis opened its schools
with nineteen teachers, increasing the
number to twenty-one during the year.
This year twenty-eight regular teach.
ers will take UP the work-an increase
of 33 1-3 percent. A share Of this in
crease is due to the fact that this
year teachers have been secured to
devote full time to domestic science,
manual training and music, whereas
last year only art time wa devoted
to the subject. The rest Of the in
rease is attributable to the growth
of the city.
In order to accommodate the pupils

LAS VEGAN GETS
BROKEN LEG IN
AUTO ACCIDENT

Las Vegas, N. M, Aug. 2S.-An auto
mobile accident near here injured

not killed. His left leg was broken,
and he suffered a number of bruises.
The accident occurred in the Gallinas
canyon between ice houses No. 8 and
8, on the point in the road leading
to ice house No. 9. Three men,
Wright, Battle and McGregor, all Of

out to crank the machine. Wright
released the foot-brake and the car
backed down the hill several yards,
then, after Battle had jumped to save
himself, 1t turned suddenly to the
left, crashing down the hill to the
railroad track, carrying Wright with
1t.
I About half way down the hill, the
real axle struck a stump, telescop-
ing the car, and throwing Wright
clear. Then 1t rolled down to the
railroad track. Wright vas picked
up from between the rails, while the
car had only reached the first rail.

(By A. M. tiove.)

Amarillo, Tex, Aug. 2S.-Crop con-
ditions have improved wonderfully.
A tour over the Santa Fe lines in
northwest Texas and New Mexico the
last few days shows a remarkable
change since the last of June. The
bean crop in New Mexico promises a
heavy yield and the acreage Is un-
usually large. At several points the
crop is so extensively planted that
elevators are being built to handle
the crop.
The feed crops promise we'll es-
pecially on the plains in eastern New
Mexico and northwest Texas. In
places milo is heading and short sea-
son kaffir is ready to head. Indian
r is already making in many To-
calities.
Winter wheat will be grown gener-
ally over New Mexico and the acre
age in Texas and ON the plains of
New Mexico will be much greater
than ever before. The county agents
are taking a very keen interest in
wheat growing and are urging the
farmers to prepare the land well and
use only pure seed. In many places
tractors are being bought for use in
preparing land for wheat.
The livestock growers are hopeful
Of plenty Of grass for winter pasture.
During the early summer the stock
men were compelled to feed to es-
cape serious loss. At the present
time the whole country is covered
with a mat of green grass.
The feeders of cattle and lambs for
market are taking heart and are now
figuring on filling their feed lots to
find the best market for the forage
that is 10 coming n.

State School Superintendent j. H.
Wagner is now on his way back from
Washington where he attended a con-
ference Of state school superintend-
ents with u. 8. Commissioner P. p.

plans to be followed in handling the
money for vocational education the

Smith Hughes bill.
Mr. Wagner submitted the plans
drawn up by Mrs. Ruth G. Miller,
state industrial supervisor, and It
was not only accepted at the confer
ence for use in New Mexico, but Mr..
Claxton ordered copies of it printed
to be sem to every state in the union.
The conference pronounced it the
best plan submitted.
That New Mexico, so far from
Washington, should set the pace for
the nation in plans for spending fed
eral money on vocational education
is a source of much qualification to
officials Of the state department of
education and undoubtedly will
please the school patrons Of New

This is the question likely to be

Adjutant General Harrison at Fort

horses and IS mules. The order to
get these animals ready for shipment
to the environments seems to indicate
that the New Mexico guard may.
after all, go to Linda Vista, which is
the site of the cantonment originally
designated as the training place for
New Mexico's soldiers. Had the sec
of war decided to send the
New Mexico guard to the border it is
pointed out that he would scarcely
have sent the message about the
mules and horses to the adjutant gen.

hand, the secretary makes it plain
that the animals are to be taken to
the cantonments to which the guards
have been ordered and the order
