Advertising Will Do II.

The billions of dollars that our
government and foreign nations
are borrowing from our people
will be spent rightin this country
for food stuffs and war supplies
Of all kinds. The bulk of this
money will find its way into the
hands of the millions of wage
earners, and they in turn will
spend most of it for the necessi-
ties of life. This community
will get its share of those billions.
The shrewd home merchant
knows this, and is already map
ping out an extensive advertising
campaign to Offset the tremend.
GUS efforts of mail order houses
and large city merchants. He
will get this, for advertising will
bring it to him.
The local merchants who for
gets to advertise, who expects to
increase his business without a
proportionate increase in legiti-
mate publicity expense, may dis
cover to his cost that he is de-
creasing it instead.
The public takes every mans
number.

22,44l Acres
Grazing Lands S
Planted to Crops
Expected Large AcresgeWill
be Broken in Fall to be
Seeded to Wheat.

State Land Commissioner r.
P. Ervein Thursday made public
what are regarded as final figures
for this season on the acreage of
the states leased grazing lands
planted to crops by the lease
holders, under the permit of the
state land Office to plant crops on
such lands during the period of
the war without additional rent
al. A total of 22,441 acres are
shown as in crops on grazing
leases, the figures including re-
turns up to July 1st. 1t is not
expected that any material addi.
tions to the acreage will be made
this season altho assurances re-
ceived from several hundred
holders of grazing leases indi-
cate that a large acreage will be
broken during the autumn, eth.
er for planting to winter wheat,
or in preparation for cropping in
the season of 1918.
The land commissioners per-
NIT to farm grazing leases did
not issue until April, when the
movement for increasing food
production in New Mexico began.
While the land Office was ready
with the permit early in the
movement, it was still too late
for many leaseholders to change
their plans for the season., or to
secure equipment and labor for
breaking raw land. Because of
the short notice the result OBJ
tanned is regarded as satisfactory
for a first season, and informa-
ton reaching the land Office from
all over the state is that prob
ably double the leased acreage
now in crops will be broken this
fall for planting in 1918.
With the permit to farm, the
land commissioner issued to all
lease-holders an urgent appeal to
adhere as closely as possible to
the recommendation of the state
agricultural college experts and
plant only corn, beans, sorghum
and other forage crops; and po-
tatoes where climate and soil
conditions were suitable. How
closely the grazing lease farmers
have followed this advice is
shown by the fact that of the
22, AL acres actually in crops,
more than half are planted to
the Big Four corn, beans, for
age crops and potatoes.
Every county in the state. ex-
cept Bernalillo, is represented in
the returns on planting done by
grazing lease holders. The re-
turns show 4, ,426 acres in beans,
chiefly New Mexico Pintos; 3433
acres in corn; 3777 acres in sor-
ghum; l146 acres in Kafir; 1878
acres in milomaize; 2291 acres in
wheat; 1861 acres in Irish pota-
toes. The remainder of the
acreage is divided among barley,
oats, millet, cowpeas, feterita,
Sudan grass, broom corn and
truck.

TENER'S PREDICTION
HOLDS GOOD OF MATTY
National League President Said He
Would Be Heard From.

New York, May 19.--When the National
League season opened President John X.
Tener predicted that Christy Mathewson
was due to spring a surprise with the
Cincinnati Reds.
''Mathewson is an old head and a
smart baseball man. said Gov. Tener,
''and he is bound to bring the cincln-
natl club to the fore"
So far this season Gov Tener's pre-
diction is holding good, for the Reds
have been playing regular baseball, and
/ before the end OF the long race is reached
the Reds, as they stand today, are prac-
tieally sure TO make themselves felt.
New hitting strength Is the secret of
the fne showing OF the Reds in many
games this year Their pitching staff is
the same as that OF last year, only that
the pitchers are going better. But some
changes in the makeup Of the team have
added both offensive and defensive
strength to the club. The addition of
Billy Kopf and Dave Shean to the infeld
has worked wonderful change in the
Reds, while Cueto and Thorpe, Rousch,
Neale and Griffith comprise a corps OF
outfielders who can slug the bali and
who, as a whole, are capable enough in
the fielding line to hold their own.
Just why Matty leans so strongly to-
ward Catcher Huhn, who has been doing
most of the receiving this season, has
puzzled many Daseball critics. Matty has
Tom Clark and Ivy wingo on his catch
ing corps, and in the opinion of most
writers both are better all-around play
ers than HUM. But Matty knows his
own business.
Perhaps Huhn's work in handling the
pitchers is the real secret of his being
chosen as first catcher The fact that
the Reds hurlers have been showing bet
ter control and have been working on
the batters with better results than they
did in 1916 may be partially due to HUM S
presence behind the bat.
Old Fred Toney. discarded by the Cubs
several years ago, Is the pitching sensa-
ton Of the Reds this year He hurled
two croking shut-out games before the
season was well under way, and he
helped to make baseball history by pitch
ing no-hit shut-out against the Cubs In
ten innings the third game of the kind
in big league records. That game must
have been a tough one for Cub fans, as
Toney Iis a former Cub. And Big Jim
Vaughn held the Reds hitless for nine
rounds in the same game, which is the
legal distance of a game of ball.
Yes, the Reds look good They look
so good that several widely-known writ
ers have come out with belated yarns
picking them to finish as good as third.
They have something out-of the ordinary
down in Cincy this year. More power to
Matty.
