COUNTY SUPT. URGES
THAT INSTRUCTORS
ATTEND NORMALS

County Superintendent J. E.
Koonce is mailing out this week
letters TO the various teachers in
the county urging t h e m to
lay their plans early to
attend some state normal instead
of the regular county Institutes,
the latter he states being of little
practical value since their work
is materially the same from year
to year. A copy of Mr.. Koonce's
letter follows:
AT a meeting of the County
Superintendents of the State held
last January, it was decided that
all teachers and prospective
teachers should be encouraged to
attend one of the State normals
instead of the county institutes.
since the institutes do practically
the same work from year TO year
which does not lead to anything
much more definite than COM
pliance with the law requiring
institute attendance, and also a
review of subjects for examina-
ton to obtaincertificates for the
first time.
1t will be considered a special
favor If all persons who are
teachers and those who are con-
templating teaching during the
next school year, and not now
exempt from institute attendance
will notify the County Superin-
tendent of their intention con-

GOVERNOR OUTLINES
PLAN TO PREVENT
WORLD STARVATION

Following is the proclamation
issued this week TO the citizens
of New Mexico by Governor w.
E. Lindsey, in which he urges
conservation and increased pro-
duction:
my Fellow Citizens:
Efficiency experts assert that
victory in the war with Germany
depends upon h e American
farmer; upon a more intensified
and extended cultivation of our
farm lands. Even tho all the
available farm lands in the east
ern fraction of our nation were
utilized to the best possible ad-
vantage in the production of
crops, sufficient food could not
be produced thereon to supply
their home consumption. In the
uncultivated and unoccupied
areas of the western and south
western states, lies the potential
base for the greater and neces-
sary production over local con-
sumption. New Mexico embrac. b.
es vast areas of these uncultiva-
ted and unoccupied lands.
I'm this and in the emergency
and necessity of this world war
lies signal opportunity for our
people to serve efficiently the
cause of freedom and democracy.
''The food situation in the
world is such tnat unless its sup
ply can be greatly augmented in
America during the present crop
season, civilization may be strip
ped 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
denounced by our fathers, that
earthly kings can do no wrong.
I'VE of New Mexico must not
only supply ourselves with food
and clothing, but we are charged
with the high and solemn duty
of adding to the supply required
by orr allies in the war, if we
will successfully prosecute ii to
the perpetuation of the princi-
Piles of democracy.
1--WE therefore should utilize
our lands to the utmost of ouI
ability in the production of food.
We shall have only ourselves tc
blame if want shall come upon
us and upon our allies in this
war and if we shall be stripped
of our liberties so dearly bought
Ivy the blood of our fathers.
A new day has dawned in war
fare. Service ON the battle from
is no longer hell to be the only
proof Of loyalty. Each either
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
trenches, or in the air or under
the sea; and If victory come, the
the greater glory shall be theirs
since victory in the end is de-
pendent upon what they produce.
In many feasible ways, the fooC
product of our state may be
greatly increased.
The farmer now on the lane
if he be alerted and supplied with
seed and means, may labor long

PINAFORE PLEASES
LARGE AUDIENCE AT
new OPERA HOUSE

AVA w Va 6ANAh hAVO
Gilbert and Sullivan's classic
comic opera, presented at the
new Wetmore opera house Sun
day afternoon and Monday even
ing by the Pinafore light opera
company, held the attention of
the audience every minute thru
the two acts. At the close there
was an outburst of pent-up en-
thusiasm and the curtain rose
again long enough for his SIS
ters and his aunts and his cous-
ins, to say nothing of jack tars,
encore with a REPETITION of the
closing stanza. If H. M. S.
Pinafore" ever grows old and
tiresome it will be when troops
like the New York Light Opera
company cease to carry it around
the country in their repertoire,
if one may take the effect pro-
duced at the opera house during
their engagement here as a cri-
terian. The scenery was good
and the singers, including the
chorus, possessed good voices
and put a delightful interpreta-
ton upon the lines.
Marjorie Pringle, in the role of
Josephine, made friends with
the audience from the start.
Alice McComb, as Hebe, was
also good, while Marie Horgan!
-(Her humor was infectious)-
as Little Buttercup, was just
simply too charming a'tall. She
delivered her lines with unction-
and that rich contralto voice Used
with such splendid skill complete
ly captivated her hearers. Ar
thur Pacie Pipple, as Sir Joseph,
was a typical Englishman. Two
particularly strong a nd we'll
trained voices were those of Har-
ry Luckstone, who sang the lines
of Captain Corcoran and j. SPIN
bird Duffy, who sang those of
Ralph Rackstraw. William Sell
lery. as Dick Deadeye, put a
breeze of the genuine sea salt in
to the atmosphere and all but
rocked the ship as he rolled,
slilor.like, about the rigging.
II. Nj. S. Pinafore was un-
doubtedly one of the highest
class companies ever coming to
Carrizozo and Manager Ira o.
Wetmore of the opera house is
to be congratulated upon his
successful efforts and good judg-
ment in booking such excellent
talent. The show Monday night
enjoyed a liberal patronage and
a few more such excellent shows
is bound to widely advertise the
Wetmore opera house as very
popular place o amusement.
This was the first attraction
booked by Mr. Wetmore, the
building only being made ready
for temporary accommodation
Saturday, The FL Paso Times
said in a recent issue that when
the Wetmore building is com
pleted it will be one of the clas-
siest and most up-to-date opera
houses in this section of the state.

to pursue the avocation he has
learned.
Many men and many women
of our state, exempted from SER
vice in battle, possessed of

lands or their own and become
producers. Hundreds of men
under age of selective draft,
residing in towns and cities un-
placed in necessary employment,
may better be selectively draft
ed for work upon our lands.
Younger children of urban dwell
lors should be employed in the

manifestation of the loyalty of

bankers of our state have al.

What we harvest depends
upon what we plant. All the
food now in the United States
cannot sustain our own people

survival as a nation and as a

upon what we harvest this year.
Il therefore most earnestly
urge upon all our farmers that
they increase as much as they
are able the production of food
stufrs.
That all our livestock owners
and growers conserve and in
crease their herds.
That men and women of
means go upon the lands and
plant and cultivate crops.
That the young and unem-
ployed 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
employ a county farm agent.
That each and every citizen
contribute his or her utmost by
word and by deed to the produc-
ton of food and more food,
against the probable day when
otherwise civilization shall be
both hungry and enslaved.

us avoid waste, which under our

Concluded from Yesterday.)
 With such facts before us it would be quite idle to contend that British soldiers are not, in fact just like all other soldiers; and though the Spanish writer in the Consice may have given rather a high color to his picture of the proceedings at St. Sebastian yet that a most heartrending scene was exhibited in that city cannot for moment be doubted,
 The West Britain gives the follow ing letter from a soldier in the Fourth company of the Second or Queens regiment, and pledges itself for It's authenticity-it requires no comment;
 some of our men killed all before them as they went; but I thought cruel murder to kill women and the innocent babes sucking at their breast. I was almost the first that entered the town and anyone that begged for mercy did not hurt. We were in thet own that day and night and the next day. We had the plundering of all the town but the money was mostly hid; for my part was employed most of my time among the young ladies, most of them noblemef's daughters in searching their clothes for money, but they were so sly that very little could be found about them but a few gold rings. The few of us that are left are returning with flying colors. I have got a little money to buy wine for myself and comrades" I

Navarro, Famous Air
 Fighter of Frances
 Army to Be Arrested

Paris, April 17.-sub-Leut. Jean Navarro, the famous French aviator, is being sought by the police on a warrant charging him with attempted homicide. Since has was wounded severely last June, Navarro, according to the Petit Parisien, has acted in 8 most eccentric manner, but was pun ished lightly in view of the splended services he rendered his country.
 Recently he had dispute with the police in which he was worsted. This appeared to anger him and a few nights ago he set out in au automo- bile and speeded through the princi- pal streets of Paris, knocking down every policeman he saw. As result five patrolmen were taken to hospi- tals and several others were bruised severely.
 The aviator's friends, the Petit Pa risien adds, believe that he IS not full 1y responsible for his acts.

Skyscrapers Insured
 Against Bombardment

New York, April 17.-More than $100. 100000 bombardment. insurance has been placed by property owners insNew York city since the declaration of war with Germany. Many of the largest downtown skyscrapers, banks terminals, uptown, hotels, art galler- ies, etc., have taken out insurance against this form of hazard. Most of the business has been placed with L1oyd's of London, who, until Thurs day, were the only insurance company that could legally take this kind of a risk.
 The amended insurance bill Gov. Whitman has signed permits all Amer ican fire and marine insurance com panies to engage in this class of busi- ness. Local underwriters were busy to-day opening up new depart ments that will specialize in these haz- ards.
