mittee on public lands. Word of
this innovation comes welcomed
by the persons in New Mexico
making entries under the new
640-acre homestead law. The
geological survey, which has the
power to designate the lands as
to entry as section homesteads,
is handicapped by the lack of
funds to expeditely carry on the
work and it will likely be many
months before the designations
will finally be made.
Senator Fall no doubt will re.
ceive the support Of Senator A.
A. Jones and Congressman w.
b. Walton, of New Mexico.
Following is the full text of
the bill:
BE it enacted by the Senate
and House of Representatives of
the United States, That the Act
approved December 20, 1916,
known as the 640-Acre Home
stead Act, be, and the same is
hereby, amended by adding
thereto the following sections:
Section IL. That all public
surveyed unreserved lands with
in the State of New Mexico are
hereby designated, without fur
ther classification or action under
section 2 hereof, as subject tc
the provisions of this Act.
Section 13. That all applica,
tions for entry under the provis
ions of this act heretofore made
4, in the State of New Mexico, anc
all such entries that may bt
made in such State within siS
months after the passage of thi!
Act, are hereby directed to bt

Q: Why do they call it a
Liberty" bond?
A: Because the money you
lend the government will be US
ed to make this world a safe
place to live in, and to fight the
Germans in Europe right now
instead of having to do it in
New Mexico a few years hence.
@: Then we have to fight the
Germans anyway?
A: Yes. They will crush us
without mercy, if we ever give
them a chance.
q: Why should | lend the
government this money?
A: Because money is more
important than men. To send
our boys to the front, without
money to keep the big artillery
going, is murder.
Q: Is my money safe if | lend
it?
A: Uncle Sans word and all
his wealth is back of his bond.
A: How much does Uncle Sam
want me to lend him?
A: What you can afford, even
if it's only $4,000
@: Will | be paid any inter-
est?
A: Sure. $3.50 a year for
every 500 you lend.
@: Will | have to pay taxes
on the amount | lend?
A: No. And by escaping tax
es the bond is as good as a s per
cent investment.
@: Suppose | need money
later?
A; Take your bond to the
bank and borrow money on it.
1t will be the best security in the
world.
@: Must | pay all of the mon.
ey at once?
A: No. Only $500 on every
500 you decide to lend, and
the balance on easy terms be-
tween now and August Both.
@: Where do / apply for {
bond?

Says its Officials Stood by
State and Nation-Assist-
ance Valuable.

Three great railroads of the
southwest stand in the forefront
in the effort that New Mexico is
making to do its share in this
terrific struggle to make the
world safe for Democracy"
They are the I'll Paso & South
western system; The Rock Island
lines; the Southern Pacific com
pany. Their officers and en-
ployes have helped with suggest
ion and counsel. and through
personal endeavor.
Passes have been given by the
three lines to the members of
the New Mexico Council of De-
fense, its employees who have to
travel and the travelling agents
of the Agricultural college.
The Rock Island and the South
ern Pacific do not have very ex-
tensive mileage within the state
and have no general office in the
state, nor do they have a general
officer of the operating depart
ment in Ell Paso, which is so
nearby that it would serve al
most the same purpose. The FL
Paso & Southwestern has no gen
eral office in the state, but its
mileage in New Mexico is great,
and it does maintain its general
offices in Ell Paso. AS a con-
sequence, the officers of this
company keep closer in touch
with affairs and have a more
thorough understanding of con-
ditions in and affecting New
Mexico.

Senator Fall Introduces Bill
to Hasten Designation
Formalities.

News of great interest to per-
sons in New Mexico making
homestead entries under t h e
stockraising homestead act of
last December has been received
here in letters from Senator AL.
bert b. Fall.
On May 25, Senator Fall in
troduced a bill in the senate for
the purpose of eliminating the
red tape" which obstructs and
delays the entryman from Sc
curing possession of the lands
filed upon under the provisions
of the stockraising homestead
act. The bill is numbered S2357
and asks for an amendment to
the 640-acre homestead law by
adding the sections that all sur
veyed, unreserved lands within
the State of New Mexico, be
designated without further clas-
sification or action under the
homestead law subject to the
provisions of that act. The Sec
ond section of the bill provides
that within six months after the
passage of the act, all entries
are to be received by the respect
i've land officials and approved
by the proper officers of the land
department, subject to individual
contest.

Local Bankers
Doing Their Bit
forBig War Loan
Liberty B or d Campaign
Results in FL Applications
up to Tuesday.

Upon the shoulders of the
bankers or every city and rural
section of the United States rests
the responsibility of interesting
the people to the extent of in
vesting in Liberty Loan bonds.
Carrizozo bankers are all alive
to this responsibility and doing
their utmost to induce everyone
to do his bit by buying a war
bond.
The first war loan of the Uni
ted States has not been over
subscribed in fact, it has not
yet been subscribed in full. Ger
many has floated five successive
loans, each almost as large as
that being floated in this country.
Men and women are needed in
large quantities if the United
States would emerge victorious
from its fight with Germany.
Men will be forthcoming through
a process of conscription; but If
the same plan was used to secure
money, it would be confiscation
of property. 1t is therefore a
matter of individual patriotism.
The people must bring forth their
wealth to the government.
In urging Carrizozo to do their
share in taking up the Liberty
Loan bond issue, the local bank
ers want them to understand
distinctly that buying a bond is
not giving money to the govern
ment, but investing in the best
kind of security at 3 1-2 per cent
interest. Further, the bonds are
convertible into any subsequent
bonds bearing interest at a great
er rate.
Investing money in govern
ment paper may be done by al
most every one, for even the
smallest denominations may be
purchased almost without sacri-
flee, but every man who goes to
the front to fight is making the
greatest possible sacrifice.
The windows of every bank in
the city contain posters urging
the citizenry to invest in the
bond issue, and Che banks ex-
press the hope that these urgings
will continue TO bear fruit.
Twenty-one applications foi
bonds had been received by the
Lincoln county banks up to Mon
day night, Liberty bonds may
be secured at any of the -four
banks in Lincoln county Ex.
change Bank, First National
Bank, Lincoln State Bank, CARR.

We attach a few questions and
answers below by way of making
the Liberty bond proposition en-
tirely clear.

A pound Of potatoes yields hardly
one-fifth as much body energy as a

This is partly because they are much

large proportion is discarded with the
skins. Part Of this loss Is inevitable

How Germans Attack.

It has frequently been stated Of late
hat the German troops attack in mass
formation even ip the face Of machine
Jun and shell fire, a policy little short
If suicidal under conditions Of modern
warfare. A Dutch army officer who
has BEEN an observer on the front
rays that this IL not strictly SO. He
states that the attack has the appear
ance Of q mass attack because II is
composed Of successive waves Of in
fantry. The rear waves are kept In
close formation to heighten the morale
Of the troops, but the attack is not
mass attack, strictly speaking. The
Germans charge in close order when
they have located what they consider
the weak spot in the line Of defense.
