standing that anti-Catholic bigotry is
rampant in several of the Southern

where real true Southern chivalry
stands as shield of respect and pro-

greater when it is founded on years
of devoted service to the orphan, the

o wonderful mystery of the Real
Presence of Our Lord, body and blood,
soul and divinity, in the Sacrament of
His Love! Do we fully appreciate so
great a gift? Are we truly hungry
for this Heavenly Mamma? Let us re-
new our faith in the Real Presence of
Our Lord in Holy Communion, and
give some practical evidence of our
faith by going to Holy Communion,
not only when obliged to do so, under
pain of mortal sin, but frequently, at
least once a month, out of pure love
for Our Lord in the Sacrament of His
Love.

VILLA READY TO LINE UP
WITH U. S. OR GERMANY

FL Paso, Tex, April 23.-Althougf
Villa has two Germans in his army
both of whom are officers, he is quite
as ready to consider an alliance with
the United States as with Germany
according to a report received tonight
by United States agents from Villa
sources.
An unofficial report in circulation
here tonight was that Villa had es-
capped from the Carranza forces and
leaving Salazar in command of his
forces in western Chihuahua, had re-
tired to Satevo with the purpose of
reorganizing his forces for an attack
on Chihuahua City while Murguia was
in the field. A large force of Car
rama troops was reported to have
reached Jimenez Sunday from the
south.
One object of sending troops to
Moctezuma, it was learned from an
authoritative source. was to forestall
any attempt on Villas part to cut
through to Ojinaga and raid the
American border at that point. Gen
eral Murguia learned that a large
part. at least, of Villas band was
moving through the Santa Clara can
yon eastward, which might indicate
such an objective.

Santa Fe, April 22.-The first to re-
spond formally to Governor Lindsey's
proclamation urging greater food
production and food preservation
were the state land office and the
Santa Fe Womans Board of Trade.
The Woman's Board of Trade
pledged itself individually and col
lectively, and urged upon all Santa
Fe women the greatest economy in
the use of food products, especially
such as flour and sugar, which are
likely to be exhausted first.
No More Refreshments.
There is to he a decided reduction
of the consumption of fancy cakes and
candies. There are to be only three
meals a day in each household, and
the serving of refreshments at social
affairs is to cease altogether.
The state land office, through
Commissioner r. F. Ervien, this af-
ternoon mailed to every holder of A
lease of state lands for grazing pur-
poses letter granting a permit to
use such lands for agricultural pur-
poses without any increase of rental
paid to the state. The permit is for
the period of the present war and dur
ing the life of the existing leases. 1t

of state land grazing leases and in

My Fellow Citizens:

My Fellow Citizens:
| Efficiency experts assert that vic
| tory in the war with Germany de-
lpends upon the American farmer,
upon q more intensified and extended
cultivation of our farm lands. Even
! though all the available farm lands
! in the eastern portion of our nation
were utilized to the best advantage In
the production of crops, sufficient
| food could not be produced thereon
! to supply the home consumption. In
the uncultivated and unoccupied areas
| of the western and southwestern
states lies the potential base for the
greater and necessary production over
local consumption. New Mexico en-
traces vast areas of these unCultivat-
ed and unoccupied lands
In this, and in the emergency and
Necessity of this world war lies a sig
nal opportunity for our people to
serve efficiently the cause of freedom
and democracy.
The food situation in the world Is
such that unless its supply can be
greatly augmented in America during
the present crop season. civilization
may be stripped of its dearest blood
bought rights, and autocratic govern
ment established in the world, having
its foundation upon the principle that
might makes right, and established
upon the theory renounced by our
fathers that earthly kings can do no
wrong.
We of New Mexico must not only
supply ourselves with food and cloth
ing, but we are charged with the high
and solemn duty of adding to the sup
ply required by our allies in this war
if we would successfully prosecute il
to the perpetuation Of the principles
of democracy.
We, therefore, should utilize our
lands to the utmost of our ability in
the production of food. We shall have
only ourselves to blame if want should
come upon us and our allies in this
war, and if we shall be stripped of
our liberties so dearly bought by the
blood of our fathers.
A new day has dawned in warfare.
Service on the battle front is no long
er held TO be the only proof of loyalty.
Each citizen may submit that proof
in any avenue of service. In this war
the army of farmers may contest for
glory with the fighters in the trench
es or in the air or under the seas; and
II victory come, lhe greater glory
shall be theirs, when victory in the
end is dependent upon what they pro-
duce. In many feasible ways the
food products of our state may be
greatly increased.
The farmer now on the land, if he
be alert and supplied with seed and
means, may labor longer hours for
love of his country, and through the
operation of the principle of the
selective draft rightfully proposed
for adoption in the enlistment to
arms, he should pursue the avocation
he has learned.
Many men and many women of our
state exempted from service in battle,
possessed of means, may we'll go upon
our lands or their own and become
producers. Hundreds of men under
age of solective draft residing in towns
and cities and unplaced in necessary
may better be selectively
drafted for work upon our lands
Younger children of urban dwellers
should be employed in the growing OF

| garden products on adjacent lots.
| am moved with pride at the man
| Hesitation of our rich. The merchant
and bankers of our state have already
answered the call for credit to our
farmers for seed and maintenance
pending the harvest.
Plans are rapidly maturing to
| throw all the forces and agencies OF
our agricultural college into the field
to aid and direct the energies of the
farmers and livestock growers. The
energies and facilities of all depart
ments of the state government are at
the command of the citizens.
What we harvest depends upon
what we plant All the food now in
the United States cannot sustain our
own people beyond the end of sum-
mer Our survival as a nation and ms
people depends upon what we har-
vest this year.
| therefore most earnestly urge
upon all our farmers that they in
crease as much as they are able the
production of foodstuffs.
That all our livestock growers and
owners confer and increase their
herds.
That men and women ot means go
upon the lands and plant and culti-
vate crops,
That the young and unemployed
men be listed and called for work
upon the land.
That parents In towns and cities
busy their children in the growing Of
gardens.
That each county of the state en-
DIov a county farm agent
That each and every citizen con-
tribute his or her utmost by word ana
deed to the production of food and
more food against the probable day
when otherwise civilization shall be
both hungry and enslaved.
I earnestly urge that each of us
avoid waste which under our custom
ary habits of living has become as
a scandal upon us.
Joy rides" should not be further
INDUCED to save gas for useful ends
Costly dinners should be abandoned,
frivolous games forgotten, grains

deed the manufacture of intoxicating

nation and we should return to live
the simple life of our fathers, who
subdued tyrants and who established
for us "this land of the free and the
home Of the brave"
AS the servant of the people of this
state let me suggest that this procla-
nation be widely circulated in Span

ENGLAND To GET
. FIRST j. {. LOAN
MADE To ALLIES
The Amount and Other De-
tails Will Be Made Public
by Secretary MCAdOO With
in Next Few Days,


Washington, April 23.-The first
American loan to the allied nations
viii so TO Great Britain.
The amount and other details prob
ably will be made public by Secretary
McAdoo within few days
Whatever the sum- the amount will
be available out of the proceeds of the
$4,000, 100000 bond issue soon to be
offered to the public, of which $1,000
100000 will be lent to the allies.
Announcement to this effect was
made tonight at the treasury depart
ment after day crowded with con-
ferences between Secretary McAdoo
and federal reserve board officials and
American bankers and bond dealers
and official representatives of Great
Britain and France.
Another development was the an
nouncement that the size of the first
issue OF bonds authorized under the
$1,000. 100000 war finance measure
will depend largely upon the immedi-
ate needs of the allies. Reports as to
this have yet to be received in detail.
p The entire s5,000.00O,O00 Of au-
thorized bonds will not be offered in
one lump sum, according to present
tentative plans, but probably will be
Cdiltu Ill several lIlStdllIIlcUIS.
In reaching the decision to make
the first loan to Great Britain officials
have been influenced by the fact that
Great Britain, as banker for the allies
prior to Americas entrance into the
war, has met the heaviest financial
strain imposed upon any of the en-
tente governments.
To Accept British Bonds.
In making the loan the United
States will accept British bonds bear
ing az per cent interest as security.
The interest payments upon them--at
a rate considerably lower than that
which Great Britain has had to pay
for recent borrowings-will balance
the payments to holders of the Ameri-
can bonds.
A similar course will be followed in
making loans to other allied nations.
Domestic phases of the forthcoming
issue were discussed by Secretary Nc
Adoo with delegation from the
Bankers Investment association,
headed by Henry l.. Stewart of Chi
cago.
Belated subscriptions to the $780,
100000 issue of treasury certificates,
the first issue under the war finance
measure, continue to swell the already
large over-subscription. 1t is likely
that the original $500, 100000 issue
will be extended to cover the full
amount of subscriptions offered by the
bankers.
