BIG CHANCE FOR
FUTURE DRAFTED MEN.

Many young men who are called
by the government for service have
the idea that this service is going
to interfere with their future life
and prevent them from learning a
trade or profession, thus being a big
drawback to their chances in life aft
er the war.
The government and the agricul-
tural college are going TO show them
that the reverse is the case.
Wireless operators are in big de-
mand and will be more so in the fu-
ture than at the present. You now
have an opportunity to learn wire
less at no cost to yourself for tut
tion, if you are included in the sec
ond or any following draft.
It is a splendid opportunity for
young man, and if you want to
have more particulars, read the ar
ticle in this issue on the subject and
then write the N. M. College of Ag-
ricultural & Mechanic Arts, at Mesilla

Cattle Movement
Active This Week
Joe 0lney Ships To Mexico
Steers Leave From Local
Yards--Cattle Sold

Joe Olney of this city has reasoned
the cattle situation at the present
time that stock is better alive and
running a chance of living in Mexico
than dying on the range in the United
States" and acting upon this hypothe-
sis statrted his cattle the first of the
week trailing to Mexico, about ten
miles east of Douglas, Ariz., where he
has leased a tract of land containing
10000 acres of excellent grazing land.
The cattle moved from the AnimRs
Valley belong to Mr. Olney and Chas.
G. Tyson. Bond was given by the
Mexican government that the cattle
could be moved back into the United
States after the drouth, without duty.
Several New Mexico cattlemen On
the Arizona border have moved their
stock into the neighboring state but
Mr. Olnev's is the first shipment into
Mexico.

was the owner of much residen-
tial and mining property here
and built the Brown Block own
ed by G. w. Marsahs. He was
one of Lordsburg's most pro-
gressive citizens contributing
literally to every cause for the
advancement of the community
He was a big-hearted man in
every way and his friends are
numbered by the hundreds.
He is survived by a wife and
six children the oldest being a.
bout fourteen years. His wife's
mother Mrs. Jernigan Of Hachi-
ia came here Immediately after
word of Mr.. Browns death was
received and Mr.. Jernigan ar
rived Thursday morning going
direct to Silver City to take
charge of the remains.
To the bereft the sympathy of
the community is extended.
Their loss is felt by every per-
son in Lordsburg. The deceased
was a loving husband and father
his biggest interest being in his
family. In this hour of their
berievment words are inadequate
to express the deep sorrow felt
by all and relieve the burden
from the loved ones who mourn
the loss of one so dear to them.
While no announcements have
yet been made it is likely that
the funeral services will be held
Saturday from the Brown resi-
dence here.

LOrdsburg Does Well
For War Y. M. C. A.
Good Subscription Taken Here
= And More Yet To Be
Heard From

Up to the present time Lordsburg
has contributed S36250 toward the
War Y. M. c. A. Fund and a number
of persons are yet to be heard from.
The contributions from the mines
have also been delayed and are not
included in the above amount.
The subscriptions Of $362.5O was
taken by a committee appointed
through the Chamber of Commerce
and a general canvass was made of
both the business and residential Sec
ton of town on Saturday and Monday.
The largest individual contribution
made was $4,000. From that they
went as low as so cents. The average
donation from Lordsburg would be
about $500.
Practically every person approach
ed contributed something to the War
Y. M. c. A. Fund and Lordsburg
should feel proud at raising this
amount, considering the large number
of other causes for which this city
has been called upon to do its bit
coming so close upon the Y. M. C. A.
drive. 1t is believed that when the
total amount from this community is
turned in it will be about $4,000.

J. S. Brown Killed
In Auto Accident
Prominent LOrdsburg Citizen
Pinned Under Auto And
Killed

Lordsburg was greatly shock
ed Thursday morning when news
was received here of the death
of one of the towns pioneer
business men, John S. Brown, the
friend of hundreds of people
throughout this section of Grant
county and who for 25 years has
been active in every movement
to promote the welfare of this
community. Mr.. Brown was
killed early Wednesday evening
when an automobile in which he
and several men were returning
from Mogollon turned over while
going over a three foot embank-
ment in the Mangas valley be-
tween Cliff and Silver City. Mr..
Brown was pinned beneath the
car sustaining internal injuries
from which he died within a
few minutes. His body was
brought to Silver City and was
sent to Lordsburg Thursday
night.
Mr.. Brown and son Frank,
VIM. McSwain and Walter Ches-
ser all left Lordsburg on the 9Th
of the month for a hunting trip
in the Mogollons. Mr.. Browns
car broke down and he told the
other members of the party to
go on into Lordsburg and he
would come in a service car or
as soon as he could get his ma
chine repaired. His car was
then at Glenwood and he went
back to Mogollon for repair
parts. His young son and Mes
sers McSwain and Chesser ar
rived home Wednesday evening
but no word of the accident was
received until early Thursday
morning.
The version of the accident OBJ
tanned today is to the effect that
Mr.. Brown was riding into
Silver City with man named
Barber, who was looking over
some ranch property near Mogo-
lion. Mr.. Barber was driving
the car. While in the Mangas
draw the lights on the car went
out, evidently by a short circuit.
In the darkness the machine ran
into a three foot embankment
and turned over bearing all the
occupants beneath it. Trucks
to Mogollon passing by discover
ed the car and turned it over
.rescuing the two men. Mr..
Brown was dead when they
reached him. Messrs Barber and
Alamerez sustained serious inju-
ries which, it is believed, will not
prove fatal. The two men and
the body of Mr.. Brown were
taken to Silver City late We'd
nesday night.
j. S. Brown was aged about
AZ years. He has conducted the
Clifton Bar in this city for "a
years. He was former Ford
agent in Lordsburg and with
Blaine Philips was a distributor
