THE OTHER FELLOW SAYS

The County Commits sioners in ses-
sion today created a Hall of Fame"
to be maintained in the halls of the
county court house. The purpose of
this Hall of Fame" is to perpetuate
in the memory of the people, depart
ed citizens who have given distinc-
tive public. service to our county.
This in our opinion, is a progressive
move in the right direction and is
worthy of commentator. Senator
Calisch of Montoya was appointed
custodian and he will quickly ar
range to put the Hall in ~presentable
condition.-Tucumcari Sun.
Deming's chances of getting a gen.
erous apportionment of the $4.OOO,-
900 to be raised all over the country
for community recreational work
among soldiers and sailors who are
training in thirty-two camps in the
United States are extremely bright.

The Grant county Jail at Silver
City is in a deplorable condition and
has been for some time past. This
is nothing new and everyone knows
about it. Every grand jury for three
years back has recommended that
a new Jail be built or the old one
be put in a condition fit for a human
being to be confined in. Maybe it
is because it is 50 we'll known and
generally established that nothing
has been done. This county is not
broke. Whv all the delay1-Lords-

Almost simultaneously with the
closing of more than. a thousand
saloons in New York the new water
supply of 300 million gallons a day
from the Catskill Mountains becomes
available, Which is lucky. 1t would
have been unfortunate if the s%aloone
had remained open and the New
Workers had gone on for five years
without ever knowing a new and at
tractive beverages had appeared in
their midst.-kansas City Times.
The banks and the people are pleas
ed with the response of Tucumcari
to the Liberty Loan appeal of the
government The subscriptions to
both loans ran better than $1,000 per
capita which the American believes
is stronger than any other city of
the Southwest and as much as was
expected of us by Uncle Sam. The
people of Tucumcari are loyal in
everything and there is no differen-
tiation in their patriotism.-Tucum-
carl American.
The number of cattle and sheep
increase in New Mexico as the land

that in 1912 there were in these coun-
ties 1926 head of cattle; in 1916
there we're I'll AS head. Sheep in
creased from 374,387 head in 1912 to
head in 1916. For the state,
according to figures of the state tax
Dmmission, cattle increased from
3S6, sos head in 1912 to 1,O39,3O8 head
in l9l6.-The Earth.
The Pecos river turtle has been
