For Prohibition

The New Mexico Legislature
has fulfilled the Platform Pledge
of Republican and Democratic
Platforms in the last campaign
by voting to submit the question
of Prohibitation to a vote of the
People. The measure carried l6
to 4 In the Senate and there were
butt votes against it in the
House. The measure is a modi-
ficatiOn of the 'Bone-D Dry" bills
that were introduced and major
ity believed to be as strict a law
as could be sure Of the support
of the people. which it doubtless
is.
Senator Barth. who has cham
pioned the prohibition cause did
not vote for this as he believed
it to be inadequate and not up to
his ideal of a prohibitory law.
Rev. r. E. Farley, Sec. of the
Submission Federation prenouces
it the best they can get at pre-
sent.

About Eggs

Close to four million dollars
spent annunaly in New Mexico
for poultry product, and millions
ofacres just itching to be scratch
ed by chickens,
New Mexico should be the
greatest poultry producing state
in the United States; instead of
buying four million dollars worth
of poultry products, we should
be selling twenty-five million
dollars worth. Let us organize
our community poultry business
so that we can raise the feed
right here in the state.
Community poultry busineas;
that is the idea and that is just
what is going to be done by the
boys and girls poultry clubs.
These clubs areprganized by the
State College and the United
States Government cooperating.
They sse not only money making
clubs. bat character building

A Warning

We are in receipt of a very
lengthy communication from the
Department Of the Interior,
Washington, the gist of which is
that any person having Govern
ment land enclosed with state
leases on private lands are doing
an unlawful act and asking that
any one knowing of such enclo-
sure of public land report it to
the Department. 1t also stated
that persons who have cattle on
the range and who have provided
water for themunder the Statutes
127 and 128 is not entitled to
keep other peoples cattle off from
range on Government land, and
advises that any water holes on
Government land will be set a.
side for the use of the public up
on proper application. The state
ment is over the signature of
Clay Tallman, Commissioner,
We have it on file for the benefit
Of our friends whoare interested.

New Mexico labels rarely ap.
pear on the articles on sale by
the grocer, the butcher, the ha-
berdasher, the dealer in hard
ware, dry goods and wet goods:
In other words what the people
of New Mexico eat, wear, and
drink, is very largely imported
from other states.
The income of the mines, live
stock, hay. fruit, etc. is sent a.
way to build up industries in
other communities. Such q con-
dition is no longer defensible ir
a state that has 30 many and
varied resources as New Mexico.

FulsOm Flattery

The following letter received
this week puts it rather stronger
than we deserve. We publish it
for its literary merits rather than
because we expect you to believe
it. The writer was once a home
steader at Solano, sasure-enough
newspaper man and is now pro-
minently connected with Frater-
nal Insurance business
Irwin Ogden, Editor,
Spanish American,
Roy, New Mexico,
Dear Friend Ogden:-
Permit me to compliment you
on the very excellent weekly pa
per you are giving the citizens on
the Mesa and to congratulate
your community on the cosmopol-
itan appearance and actual eff
fective service the Spanish-Amer.
lean is giving the community.
For more than twenty years, |
have been connected with promi-
nent daily publications. l know
a good newspaper when l see it
and l unqualifiedly endorse your
work as being the most important
in that section in building up the
commercial and social life Of the
community.
/ have read with interest the
civic pride of the citizens of Roy,
the church and ledge activityand
have marveled at the devotion of
the Spanish American to every
movement of the citizenry toward
civic growth. Brother Ogden,
yours is a gracious opportunity
to serve the people and you are
doing it in Knightly measures,
The weekly paper is the mirror
rejecting the interest and civic
pride of any community. You
see the opportunity and the
Spanish-American is doing a SER
vice that will bear rich results in
money and community welfare.
This letter is written to give
honor where honor is due and to
express my appreciation of your
very valuable service in your
community. ~
Trusting that this year will be
one of great prosperity for the
whole mesa and for you, | am,
Very truly,
James E. Fischer.

Basket Ball

but let the Tucumcari paper tell
it as follows which is very nice of
them
Bewildered in a maze of clever
teamwork, fast basket caging,
and playing against one of the
fastest teams in the state, the
girls from Roy were unable to
cope with Tucumcari FIVE in their
game last night. The local girls
are improving every day and al
though Roy girls fought them
hard during the entire game they
were unable to stop the relentless
scoring machine of the Tucum-
earl High and lost by a score of
forty-four to one. This was
Roy's first appearance against an
outside team and despite their
overwhelming defeat here, are
determined to put their town on
the map in basket ball, and with,
the proper coaching will undoubt-
edly be able in the future to en-
ter the lists with other high
schools of the state. With the
time drawing near for the
championship tournament, Coach
Wesson has been working his
team overtime and local fans feel
confident that the Tucumcari
girls will capture the high honors
this year,
