LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT
A DAYT0NA VISITOR

Albert d. Taylor. one of the most
prominent landscape architects in the
United States is passing a few days
in Daytona. He is very enthusiastic
over the wonderful possibilities in the
development. of beautiful winter
homes. and the city beautiful idea as
applied to the laying out of suburban
properties for home sites.
Mr.. Taylor says .Daytona has the
finest opportunity in Florida for homes
of character because of its splendid
water views and groves of fine. old
oaks. The subdividing of land here is
but in its infancy. A demand from
the refined home seekers of our north
will be met with more careful study
of the landscape possibilities in the
great undeveloped areas"
Having studied extensively through
out the United States and Canada. Mr..
Taylor is in a position to Judge the
comparative results of good design
applied to the development of large
tracts of property. and he cannot
speak too strongly in favor of the curv-
ed streets and varied size and shape

Dairying Right

Will Mitchell has just finished
a modern Cow Barn on his farm
east of Roy. 1t has stanchions
for fifteen cows and is equipped
for convenience Of the owner as
well as comfort for his dairy
herd. Mr.. Mitchell is feeding
his dairy cows corn silage from
his 2O-ton pit silo along with dry
feed and says he is getting re-
suits that he has never attained
before.
He is convinced that corn en-
silage is far superior to maise,
cane or any other material he
has ever tried. Six acres of his
poorest corn filled the 20-ton silo
last year and he will plan for an
other like it this summer but he
considers good shelter and plenty
of dry feed the first requisites
and silage the second.

That which has been anticipat-
ed daily for weeks has come 10
pass. Governor Ezequiel C, De
BacaH New Mexico quietly clos
ed his eyes Sunday afternoon and
entered into the eternal sleep, 1t
was characteristic Of the man
that just a little while before his
death he had called his secretary
to take up some official matters.
Despite the disease that was
steadily sapping out his life at
the core, his spirit never wavered
and he died practically at his post
Of duty, endeavoring until almost
the moment the spark fickered
and went out to discharge faith
fully the trust imposed by the
people who elected him to the
highest office in the state.
The governor s'death deprives
the state Of the services of a
good executive; a firm, just, able
administrator, with a higher con-
ception of public office than most
men in politics; a man withal of
rare stamina, fairness END court
esy; a citizen valuable to the
commonwealth, one it can i'll af-
ford to lose. The tragic human
side is that the governor should
have passed away just on the
Threshold of his one big oppor-
tunity; an opportunity to which
he would have risen nobly, which
would have given him a high and
honorable place IN the states
history. But it may be said that
no New Mexico executive, has
ever set a higher example Of de-
votion to the public veal than
has Governor E. G. De Baca, in
the face of handicaps such as
have been imposed on few men.
To his bereaved wife and fami-
ly will go out the deepest and
most heartfelt sympathy of the
people of New Mexico, who, re-
gardless of politice, will mourn
the passing Of a man of rare in
tegrity, highest ideals and true
nobility of character.

Isabel Wane

A whirlwind courtship culmin-
ated today in the anr oncement of
the wedding of Miss Isabelle
Wane of this city to Mr.. Jack
Garland of Bakersfield. The
event took place at 8o'clock Sun
day evening in Bakersfield and
was announced to relatives and
frinds here in a letter received
this morning by the brides
mother, Mrs. Lucy Wane, to
whom the news came as a sur
prise.
The romance was brief, appar-
emily being a case of "love at
first sight" Miss Wane was
called to the bedside of her aunt.
Mrs. Earl Columbia, who was
critically in Bakersfield, abont
six weeks. Mr.. Garland was a
friend of the Columbias. They
met and the mutual attraction
was followed by a vigorous cam
paign on the part of the young
man to capture the heart of the
pretty Orange girl. This morn
ing's announcement told of the
surrender and was accompanied
by a pretty plea for forgiveness
and the parental blessing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Garland will make
their home in Bakersfield where
the groom is in the service of the
Southern Pacific company.

Rev. Price Returned

Rev. R. A. Price returned Sun
day from Columbus, N. M. and
will be at home for some time on
business. He says he came a
few days earlier than he would
had not conditions on the border
demanded it. Many people were
leaving the border fearing the
raid that Salazaar and Villa
threatened after the removal of
the troops
Mr.. Price is not looking well
and apparently the climate there
does not agree with him. We
are glad to welcome him back to
the Mesa and glad he has found
no place that looks as good.

The old adage = go away
from home to find cut the news"
is we'll illustrated in a copy of the
Republican, a weekly haper pub
lished at Cherry Vale Kansas in
which a page adv. of a Santa Fe
Real Estate booster tells of the
natural resources of the State Of
New Mexico.
Chas. Kidd brought US in a
copy Of the paper and it is a real
ly remarkable showing even
when you have known all along
of the existance Of these thing.
To a stranger who realizes what
it means it is a revelation.

The Roy Village Board at their
regular meeting Monday night
decided to purchase 40 acres of
land for a Cemetery.
A board of Trustees consisting
of Rev. 0. w. Hearn, Mrs. w. H,
Wilcox and VIM. G. Johnson was
appointed. Arrangements are
already made for the purchase of
the land from the State and it
will be surveyed and laid off in
burial lots. Those who have
friends buried there will be given
the preference of lots now oc-
cupied.
Arrangements were started
toward having a Town Jail for
the near future. A lot will be
secured in a suitable location and
we will soon have City ''Bas-
tile" where criminals may be
kept in safety and drunks may
have a place to sober up without
offending the public senses by
lying around on the streets.
Another evidence of the benefits
we shall derive.

Governor de Baca is Dead
Dies in the Harness while
Transacting State Business

By an unusual combination of
political circumstances, Washing
ton e. Lindsey, of Portals, who
received an impromptu nonina-
ton at the Republican state con-
ventidn last fall and who was e.
.lectsd. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. has
now become governor of New
Mexico, less than two months
after his election to the secondary
position.
Governor Lindsey has an un-
usual opportunity. A man of
clean personal and political re-
cord, of ability and integrity, he
steps into the executive Office
with a chance to make good such
as comes not often. We believe
he will make good; which will
mean his certain denomination
and reelection.
Governor Lindsey will not have
easy sailing. Heis going to have
a pretty definite choice given him
between afiliation with the old
and losing element of the Repub-
lican party represented by the
organization bosses and the more
progressive and Independent ele-
ment in the party,
Governor Lindsey is a Republi-
can. 1t is naturally to be expect
ed that his policies and his ap-
pointments will be Republican,
The state has nothing to lose
thereby if he picks men who are
competent and have the conf
dence Of the public, men appoint
ed for their fitness and not for
political purposes, and if he is
guided by considerations Of pub
lie service and the welfare of
the state in his administration Of
the Office. We believe he will be
and therein he will have the sup
port of this newspaper, regard
less of politics. We therefore
congratulate Mr.. Lindsey upon
his accession to the executive
office and pledge him our hearty
support, politics aside, in his
efforts to use it for the good of
the people Of New Mexico.

Surprise Parties

A company of oversixty friends
and neighbors of Mrs. Charles
De Pew surprised her last Satur-
day, the occasion being her birth
day. They came with the makin's
of a big dinner in baskets and
took possession of the De Pew
home for the day. The feast they
spread and the merriment of the
occasion made it a red-letter day
for the lady for whom it was
planned as well for her whilom
guests.
Miss Eugenia Roy, assisted by
Mrs. Myra DeFrees and Mrs.
Mary Waters all teachers in the
Roy Schools, planned a very
successful surprise party for Merl
johnson, second son Of Postmas-
ter VIM. G. johnson Monday
evening on the event of his 11th.
birthday, About twenty five of
his little school mates were
guests and Merl was properly
surprised when he came home
and entered a dark room to be
greeted by an enthusiastic chorus
from the bunch. They played
games, had a swell luncheon and
had a fine time till 10 O'Clock
when they took their leave wish
ing their little host many happy
returns of his natal day and hur-
rying to their beds to sleep and
be ready for their studies the
next day.
Teachers who thus take inter-
est in the pleasures and daily
lives Of their pupils show the
true spirit of Pedagogy and can
but succeed in the school room.

The next great. step to be taken in
the armies will be the vaccination Of
all the troops with the antigangrene
serum-which will prevent gangrene
from setting in. The vaccination for
typhoid n smallpox. and the careful
sanitation of camp sites, food and
water have already cut down the
deaths from sickness to below the nor.
NAL Seace time rate-whereas in the
civil war the deaths by disease vastly
exceeded the deaths in battle or in the
wounded hospitals.
While trench warfare has evolved
new and difficult kinds Of wounds, it
has had it's great compensation for the
wounded and for the surgeons. Sta
tionary warfare enables the wounded
to be picked up as soon as hurt, and
to be placed in expert hands and in
fully equipped hospitals from the mo-
ment of injury. The hospitals n the
ambulances are always at hand and
work like clockwork.
In the war Of movement all is diff
erent. There ye hospitals are left
far to the rear and the medical corps
must trail the armies as best 1t can as
they sweep across country. The
wounded must often lie for hours
where they fall before the ambulances
reach them.
