SOLDIER BOYS RE-
CALL ROMANCE

H. T. Rush, Rex L. Stevens and
Henry Hudson, who enlisted at Farm
ington, New Mexico, for the navy,
three superior types of young man
hood, passed thru the city Friday
evening to report for duty. Farm
ington was in the midst of the Wild
erness 40 years ago. In that vast
cemetery of an ancient race that had
beer extinct before the Chinese ma
tion began to record history, one lit
tie double cabin made of poles, was
called Pennington. Navajo Indians.
with their ponies, sheep and goats,
roamed at will. There were about
30 white people, among them five
families who had gone in during
1877.
These boys gone to the navy were
all born long since that time. Time
is better measured by young Rush.
November 27, 1877, the writer started
with Lou Noble and Henry Clifford
from Del Norte to Arizona, and with
three to six feet of snow thru which
to break trail over the Conejos range
the present Ignacio Ute Indian agen-
cy was reached in 81 days, just when
the government issued the first ra-
tions to the Utes.
w. E. Broad, the real pioneer OF
the Chama and Blanco rivers region,
nreeidont Of tire rarlS view colony,
was at TERRA Amarillo that winter
with his family, including his niece,
Miss Jennie Broad Sam RUSH a
young man was also there, and there
began an Acquaintance which rioe eied
so ma'l.i.pe In July 1877 the
writer met Sam, with George LEX
hart, an old partner of Myron Wilkins
of Alamosa, as best man, crossing
from the Indian farms on La Plata
river, over the divide, to the Animas
river, and that day Mr.. Rush and
Miss Broad were married, to begin
life in wilderness boundless in pre-
historic interest, out in the great open
world, far from house to house,
where an occasional silvery cloud
seemed friendly visitor. Sam Rush
was born for the frontier. He has
been officer, scout, Indian trader,
stockman and farmer, and nobody has
gotten by any better.
And in the reminiscence of the
hopes, ambitions and desires the
widest fancies of young womanhood
and young manhood-if Sam and
Jennie have wondered at times II
others were happier, they can feel
now that they have lived to exalted
purpose, in giving such boy to their
flag.-Alamosa Empire.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 30.-
For the average American woman
who wants to help her country in this
war by going to the front as nurse
there is no hope of her ever realizing
her wish.
Only graduate trained nurses are
chosen by the American Red Cross for
war hospital service. And nurses
aids are also specially trained and
chosen with the EXTREMIST care.
In previous wars, women nurses
we're not infrequently seen on the
battle field
In war today they never get any
closer to the front than the base has
pital, which generally is out Of sound
Of the canonading. The machine
gun and the barrage Of modern war
fare has forced the retirement Of wo-
men into safer fields.
For the first time in the country's
history the United States is sending
to the front modern hospital equip
ment. Uncle Sans sick and wound
ed in France will receive as good
care as they could get in any hos
pital in the United States. The best
surgeons and the best nurses in the
country are going with the troops.
Whom the American Red Cross vas
organized in 1905 the principal was
adopted that not merely trained nurs-
es of character and experience vouch-
ed for by recognized hospitals could
be enrolled in the Red Cross service.
She receives only $50 a month while
in service. Her hours of work at the
base hospitals are irregular, but most
ly long.
General Pershing's contingent will
probably be served by army nurses
who were on the Mexican border.

formed the entrance to the trench, and
settle himself contentedly for a rest.

Labor Seduction

Governor Rye has sent out a
letter to sherifs of the various
counties of the state, calling at
tention to a law passed by the leg
islsture at its recent session which
restricts the activities of labor
agents.
Agents from the north and east
are known to have induced many
laborers to leave the south and go
to other sections of the country on
the promise of higher wages and
better working conditions. The
new law provides that every labor
agent shall be under bond, and
other requirements are called for
that prevent the promiscuous in
weighing of workmen away from
their employers.
