Tram Wreck

A coal train from Dawson ran
into 'Sun-kink" in the track
at milepost 144 near Dawson

it was derailed by a similar place
and ran on the ties for four tele-
graph poles before it could stop
The track was frightened up when
the road was ballasted last win
ter and not enough allowance
was made for the expansion
which the hot sun of Saturday
caused. The Sunday mail from
and North was delayed till 7:3O
in the evening.

week from a months visit in Iowa
She saw very few days without
rain while there and is glad to
get back to New Mexico. She
has interested many friends
there in the better country and

it up soon. The swollen streams

Eighth Graders

Santa Fe, N. M, July 5th:- An
increase of forty percent over
the previous year in the number
of graduates from the eighth
grade in the rural schools of New
Mexico was achieved during the
past school year according, to a
compilation just completed by
the department of Education.
Reports from all rural schools
show a total Of 1862 boys and
girls who completed the eighth
grade work successfully. If the
eighth grade graduates of the in
corporated cities and towns be
added the grand total Of those
now ready to enter New Mexico
high schools in September is
well over 1890.
State School Superinten dent
J. H. Wagner attaches great I'M
portance to completion Of the
eighth grade work in the county
schools and to a proper recogni-
ton of the work accomplished.
In discussing the great in
crease in number Of eighth grade
graduates today Superintendent
Wagner said no regarded this in
crease as the most convincing
evidence Of the rapid advance
ment Of the states entire school
system. He anticipates a still
heavier increase for the coming
school year.

then take the necessary steps to
meet all TIE demands of the gov

Of the government in the time of

The agitators now trying to
start strikes in New Mexico will
meet with mighty little epcour-

as to arouse the suspicious Of the

What A Government Bond Is

The Government of the United
States has two methods of raising
money. One is by taxation. The other
is by sale of bonds, which is a method
of borrowing money.
The Government bond is the print
ed promise of the Government to pay
back the borrowed sum Of money at =
certain time, and to pay interest on
it at regular intervals until it is re-
paid.
The Government borrows money in
this way only after it has been given
the right to do SO by act of Congress
approved by the President, and the
terms Of the loan are set out in the
act.
Back OF the promise of the Govern
ment stands the honor of the Govern
ment and all it's taxing resources.
Really the whole wealth of the Nation
stands behind the solemn promise Of
the Government to pay.
This makes the United States Gov
eminent bond the safest investment
in the world. If the bond Of the
United States Government is not safe,
no property in the United States is
safe. Ii the United States can not
pay it's bonds, it is hardly probable
that it will be able to protect the
citizens in their other rights.
The Liberty Loan Bonds Of 1917 are
especially attractive investments. Not
only have they this absolute safety
characteristic of all United States
bonds but they are tax free not only
from all existing taxes but from any
war tax that may subsequently be
levied. No State, city, nor county
may tax them. The inheritance tax
Of the United States and Of some
States may affect them, or, rather,
affect their transfer after death of the
owner by will or by Inheritance.
Another advantage these Liberty
Loan Bonds possess is that if the
Government issues bonds later on dur
ing this war at higher rate Of inter-
est the holders of Liberty Loan Bonds
will be allowed to exchange at par
their bonds for bonds bearing the
higher rate Of interest.

RaybuTn-W iekiund Al MarIneite

Miss Bessie Rounsevelle of this
city, who teaches in the Marinette
high school, writes as follows con-
corning the recent evangelistic cam
paign in which that city united with
Menomonee, Mich:
There is a wall Of indifference
here that is hard to overcome. How
ever, there were about 1880 con-
verts, among them Mr.. prin-
cipal Of the Marinette high school,
and about $50 students
"Mr. Wicklund captivated h e
high school and has been up three
times to sing for US.
There was some vigorous oppo-
sition to Mr.. Rayburn. The taber-
nacle was set on fire one night, and
some flags used for decoration, a
bible that Mr.. Rayburn priced very
highly, and an historic pulpit be-
longing to the Baptists, were burn
ed before the fire was discovered.
Policemen had to guard the au-
tos every night, and prevent dis
turbance of the meetings. The ff-
teen churches uniting in the cam
paign have worked together very
tremendously.
The Rayburns and the Wicklunds
go from here to Columbus, Neb."

Unique Class Play

The Spring Valley h i G h school
staged a unique substitute for the
usual class play Tuesday evening,
putting on a Pageant Of Spring
Valley" written and staged by Prin
cipal of schools M. J. Quinn and
Village Supervisor j. A. Martin.
The pageant was in the nature Of a
dramatization of the actual history
of that city, from 1852 to recent
date.
Students took parts representing
characters prominent in local activi-
ties Of former days. Opening the
play with the setting, "Gilmore's
Shack" and Elwyn Peake taking
the part Of Spring Valleys earliest
settler, Gilmore, hunter and trap
per. the first act depicts scenes and
incidents from 1852 to 1872-the
Wilcoxes buying out Gilmore in
1856; the coming of the Francisco
family in 1861; IN 1852 Harvey and
Horace Preston and Henry Lamb go
to war; VIM. d. Akers comes in
1868. and Ephriam Moore in 1866.
"Aker's Postofice" is the setting
for Act 2, and among the characters
brought forth are S. Brown, Elias
Weldon, Jasper Lawrence, John A.
Martin, the teacher, (and with his
appearance is read an actual dupli-
cate of his school roll,) Chambers,
the mail carrier on the Spring Val

The Railroad Situation

The Interstate Commerce G o M
mission, now in session at Washing
ton, D. c., are hearing arguments
which are being presented by the
railrc ads in substantiationo of their re-
quests for a general increase of fif-
teen per cent in freight rates.
The general public are not possess
ed Of sufficient facts or information
upon which to express definite
opinion upon the merits of the ap-
pication in question, but do APP
preciate the fact that with the large
advance in the cost Of labor and ma
terial the expense of railroad opera
ton must necessarily be substan-
TALLY increased.
There are two great fundamentals
upon which rests the prosperity of
the United States, namely, agricul-
ture and transportation. These two
cardinal elements of the nations
welfare are so closely allied they
may be likened to two halves Of a
complete whole, neither possessing
the fullness Of it's strength without
the co operation of the other.
Farm products, t he foundation
for all national wealth, would be
worthless without the aid of the gi-
gantic superstsucture, the railroads
in transporting it to market. The
farmer might produce tn most
bountiful crops, but if he was with
out railroad facilities to ship the
products to market it would be
worthless to him and the nation,
and eventually would rot on his
hands, thus reducing him and the
nation to poverty amid an ocean of
plenty.
Looking at the question Of in
creased rates from h e business
standpoint we feel that the applica-
ton should be given careful and
prompt consideration and that what
ever decision is arrived at be put in
to effect with as little delay as pos
sible.

Many Trout ''Planted"

The River Falls Rod & Gun Club
has received, during the past week,
a couple of large consignments Of
trout fry to place in t h e local
streams. Thirty-two thousand Ger
man Browns arrived the latter part
of last week and were placed in a
convenient spring tributary to the
Kinnickinnic about three miles up
stream, and $4,000 Rainbow trout
arrived the first of the week and
were planted in a spring just above
the old Dayton mills, down stream.
A consignment of peck ed, or
brook trout, arrived today and were
placed in the South Fork.
The above mentioned shipments
have been secured by the Rod &
Gun Club from the state hatchery
at Bayfield,. Besides these the Club
earlier in the Spring, purchased 20,
900 German Brown "fingerlings,"
which were placed in the upper Kin
nickinnic.
The placing of these fish has been
performed with great care, h e
places chosen being sheltered from
freshets and screend off to prevent
larger fish from coming in to de-
stroy the fry.
