CHURCHES AND LIBRARIES
MAY CONDUCT LOTTERIES.

Assistant Attorney General George
C. Taylor, has recently held that the
operation of slot machines and
punch boards, by which some of
the purchasers of chance receive
candy or other prizes, and other pur.
Ichasers receive nothing, is in viola-
ton of the New Mexico statutes pro.
hibiting lotteries and similar sche-
mes. Mr.. Taylor quotes the law to
show that lotteries are permissible
only when they are conducted by
church, public library or religious So
ciety, for charitable purposes. The
law reads:
"The provisions shall be construed
ito apply to every device or devices.
and not only to such device or de-
vices as are commonly called or
known as lottery, although design
ated or called by any other name,
but shall not be construed to apply
to any sale or drawing of any prize
at any fair held in this state for the
benefit OF any church, public library
'or religious society, situate or being
in this state, or for charitable pur-
poses, when all the proceeds Of such
fair shall be expended in this state
for the benefit of such church, public
library, religious society, or charit'
able purposes.

has been planted to crop this year.
Potatoes which are always . sure

of New Mexico are in the lead and
while he was there 10000 pounds
were brought in for seed in addition
to what local ranchmen had on hand.
Beans and hay crops will also rank
high in acreage.
Mr.. Chaves was in that section a.
a representative of Theodore Rou.
ault, state game warden. and incl
ldentally saw 26 of the grown elk that
were placed there a couple of years
ago accompanied by four yearling
and six young calves. He also saw

YESTERDAY MORNING TO
TRAIN FOR WAR N
FOREIGN LANDS

Early Thursday morning the 10
men OF Company E. the Spanish.
American. company. and 100 men of
company F. made up of American
born boys with a sprinkling of ma
turalized citizens from most of the
countries of Europe. and including
score or more of COW boys, march
ed through the city from the Armory
to take the o'clock train for AZ
buquerque for further training there
and later mobilization at an east
ern camp for transport to France
These two companies are made up
largely of the men who saw service
at Columbus last year under the
same officers who now command
them from Col. f. c. Abbott down,
and which we're declared by II
regular army officers to have rem
dered the best service Of any of the
100000 maiitiamen called to the
border last year.
Wednesday evening the "city was
up" to a late hour engaged in all
kinds of farewells to the soldiers.
Most of the men who have depen-
dent families had been excused from
service and many others were ex-
cused during the examinations for
various physical defects. The little
city Of Santa Fe has offered over
400 volunteers, and with those in
the regular army, navy, officers
training camps. engineers corps, red
cross and medical service there are
just about 800 now in active service
this still maintains the highest per
centage of recruits of any city in
the countryside same proportion
from the country at large would
place an army Of over five million
men in the field.
