Nels Wetterhus called Monday
with cigars and to assure us VIC
were wrong last week. He is dc
ing all the 'Petting." His bride
was Mrs. Henderson, of Ardmore
Oklahoma, daughter of Mr..
Stooky of Gainesville, Texas.
They were married Oct. 9th, at
Ardmore and the wedding was a
complete surprise. to their many
friends. Mrs. Wetterhus has two

dreams.

Wayne Thompson, concluded
his visit here and returned to his
home in Missouri, Monday. He
frankly admits he is enamoured
of this mesa as well as some OF
the people here and may come
back. He investigated a busi-
ness venture and some land in
vestments and seemed to be hay

it.

western people appeal to him and

The following telegram was n
ceiyed from Mr.. H. D. Gibson
General Manager, Red Cross, this
morning, direct from Washing,
ton: 81
1T is imperative that all Of
the sweaters, wristlets, and socks
that can possibly be made by the
women of the country should be
turned into the Supply Depart
ment at the earliest possible
dates. With the cold weather
coming on the demand for sweat
ers especially has been beyond
the capacity of all our resources
to supply. We have forwarded
promptly all knitted articles re-
ceived from the chapters and
have in addition have been COM
PEELED to buy in the market five
hundred fifty thousand sweaters
of which about two hundred fifty
thousand have been delivered.
These sweaters are machine knit
and the yarn used is a mixture of
cotton and wool, so that it does
not withdraw any considerable a.
mount of yarn from the women
knitters of the Red Cross. We
are buying all the yarn we are
able to secure that is suitable fer
knitters and sending it out to the
chapters as soon as we can get
delivery of it. We have received
from the chapters about two
hundred thousand sweaters and
approximately the same number
of machine made sweaters, all of
which have been delivered to the
men in the Camps and Training
Stations with the exception of a
few thousand which we have had
to send to France. The requests
of our organization in France for
sweaters and knitted goods have
had to remain unsatisfed on ac-
count of our inability to secure
enough for men in our own Army
and Navy. We call upon the
women to give US their very best
efforts from BOW until at least
January first. that we may be
able to furnish our own men with
those comforts and have some to |
spare for the dire needs in
France.

Teach Wireless

The United States Signal Corps
thru the Federal Board for Voca-
tional Education, has appealed to
the New Mexico College of Agri-
culture and Mechanic Arts to
come to the assistance of the
United States Government in a
grave emergency. The emer-
gency is this: $4,000 radio or
buzzer operators must be secured
at the earliest possible date for
service in the Army, which is
confronted with a serious short
age of men equipped to perform
this essential service on the bat
tie field.
These operators must come
from the ranks of conscripted
men of the second and following
drafts, whose instruction should
begin before they are called to
the cantonments. For this, in
this region, the Government is
depending on the Agricultural
College to train them.
The course will be started Dec.
8, 1917 and will continue indefn-
itely, until the need is filled. 1t
is the object of this course to
furnish radio or buzzer operators
so as to receive and send a mini
mum of 20 words of five letters
each per minute. 1t will take
the average student about 200
hours to do this; which means a
two months course. In addition
to this work, students will be re-
quired to take military drill,
which will help them in advance
ment at the cantonments. 1t
will probably be possible for
other courses, in addition, to be
selected, by paying the regular
registration fee.
The only expense attached to
the course will be the cost of
transportation to the College and
$4,000 for board and room during
the two months while there.
/, The class will be limited to,
registfants Of the second and
following drafts who can pass
the physical examination and are
not intending to claim exemption
Men who do not show ability at
this work will be dropped at once
and as fast as students develop
The required proficiency, they
will be discharged from the class
yiven a certificate showing their
qualifications, and their places
aiken by others. Preference
Will be given to applicants who
ire to be called Immediately, and
! waiting list established, in the
rider of their liability.
One need not ferr that more
nen will be trained than needed
S deOnite quotas will be assigned
0 each institution, in order not
over train.
Now is the time to fit yourself
4 trade with good opportuni-
es and a chance not only to
srve your country better, but to
enefit yourself; and remember
lat there is absolutely no charge
,r the course.
If additional information is de-
red, write the Dean of Engi-
sering, State College, N. M.
pplication blanks will be fur
shed upon request.

JOBS FOR oNOT-ENEMY ALIENS.

The employment Of foreigners who are lsgaly
enemy aliens although their hearts and minds are
loyal to the United States is forming a big problem
have been excluded from their former work b. the
dock and zone regulations
In New York city this problem has assumed such
proportions that is taxing the the state
employment bureau the mayors advisory oornrn ttee
the agricultural and industrial labor relief and the
state defense council clearing house
One chief difficulty the way OF loyal foreigners
finding work when they have excluded from the
barred districts is prejudice against them on TIE
of employers in other sections Hessels &C
rotary Of the Labor Relief organization sums CD the
difficulty and puts in his plea its says:
The point that 7 wish TO put up to employers is
that there is why there should prejudice
against employing these people Just because they arc
elected from the waterfront other districts
That does not stamp them loyal 70 the United
States less able reliable. The majority OF our
applicants people who have proved their value 10
employers through many years trustworthy com
petent service The employers regret losing them but
they have been compelled because OF their
nationality and conditions
That is plea for frankly dsloyaI workers nor for
suspicious characters It the loyal men and women
of city who by accident birth classed
enemies Until they have shown themselves unworthy
they should be given opportunity 20 continue work
There plenty of Jobs calling workers that these
people could fl jobs in which they could do prac-
tically harm even if they wished
