to teach the necessity for changine
our methods of living now. The old
practical, simple methods of doing
things must be revived. We must
learn to use in a better way the
things we have in our homes. The
impact of war upon our food supply
and upon u commercial fabric
forces us into the things we should
have done long ago. Mr.. Hoover has
launched a systematic campaign in
household economics to bring home
these facts to the women of our coun.
try. The service many of the women
of the state can render in this cause
is to help create public sentiment in
regard to these things. When we real.
ize that 80 per cent of the purchasing
for the home is done or influenced
by the housewives we realize to what
a great extent this problem is in the
hands of the women.
Ralph G. Ely, food administrator for
New Mexico, is planning to have a
Hoover demonstration team of five
women in every county and a Hoover
representative in every district, and
to have the Hoover pledge card hang
ing In 10000 homes.
Patterns for the official costume
will be sent out to the Hoover teams,
with samples of material in the

this state. Yours in Hooverizing New

(nThe Non-PolitlcaT Selection OF
Judaes"; Address by Hon. Merritt
c. Mechem, Judge Of the Seventh
judicial District, Before State Bar
AssoclatIon)
Since l was asked by the indefati
gable president of this association to
prepare a paper on the title stated, ]
have endeavored to find some litera'
ture on the subject, but my efforts In
that direction have been in vain,
owing to the very limited sources Of
information at my command. All OF
us will probably remember having
seen in some OF the Chicago and
New York newspapers accounts OF at
temptsy sometimes successful and
sometimes very much otherwise, Of
the Bar Associations OF those cities
to influence the nomination. Of the
political parties OF candidates for
judicial offices who had the endorse
ment Of the Bar Association. AS far
as / am advised this practice has
not as yet crystalized into a custom.
Sometimes the Bar Associations have
the required influence and sometimes
not. However, these attempts to re-
move the selection of judges from the
atmosphere Of party contests indicate
to my mind the only feasible way in
which the thing can be done. 1t
would be idle to eve speculate upon
this subject without keeping steadily
in view as the main fact that here in
New Mexico our Judges WILDE always
selected by the vote Of the people,
and will, therefore, only be presented
for election through the medium Of
the political parties. Necessarily then
when using the term "Non-Political
Selection Of Judges" we mean some
practice, gradually growing. as we
hope, into a custom with all the auth
GRITTY and force of law, whereby our
political parties can be brought around
to the nomination of candidates for
judicial office who have the endorse
ment of the Bar of the state. Or, bet
ter still, eliminating all political con-
siderations, to induce the political or
CARNATIONS to unite on the same can
didate for office.
| believe that every man in the
state, lawyer or layman, would favor
the non-political selection of judges if
that meant that judges would always
be selected with respect only to their
character, learning and ability. 1t is
a bold claim that If this is done
through the instrumentality Of the
Bar of the state that such will in
evitably be the result, but as law
yers we can have no doubt on this
point. We know that the lawyers Of
New Mexico are qualified as no other
class or classes of our citizens are, to
say who among our number would
be best fitted from every standpoint
to fill a judicial Office. AS a class we
could have no selfish interest in the
matter, except always to act so as to
insure the respect and confidence of,
the people in our profession. We
would act with the profoundest sense
of u responsibility to the state. The
American Bar is at this moment ex-
periencing a revival under the lead

Home Economics Director Appeals to
New Mexico Women to Help Hoover
To the Women Of New Mexico:

To the Women of New Mexico:
True patriotism Off the American
wornan begins at home. In any coun-
try at wal the economic and social
conditions are in the hands of the
women, and every woman, wherever
she lives, whether she lives where
she can be in touch with the organi-
cation or not, can do her "bit" by
helping to solve the housewives prob.
lens, by keeping conditions sane az
possible, by keeping the homes whole
some. To accomplish these things
there are only two factors that will
help her-efficiency and economy. The
American woman must study her Job
of running her home as she has
never studied it before. She must
study food values and substitutes, to
substitute the less expensive but
equally nutritious food, for the more
e~xpensive; to use substitutes for
meat and wheat, the two principal
foods which we must supply the al
lies; and she must cut food con
sumption to wartime standards; she
must eat less, serve only the neces-
sary portions, and not overlook the
value of food values. Every woman
can help by running her own home
intelligently, and 1t is in these things
that the women OF u state will
measure up or not. Now, and in the
years to come. the women have an
opportunity to prove their domestic
efficiency.
IA large per cent of our households
are conducted without waste. 1t Is
to these housewives that we should
look to help spread the teachings Of
economy and thrift. Waste must be
eliminated. This will help. the gov
eminent finance the war. The pres.
Ont food emergency must be thor
oughly understood, and our people
made to realize that if peace were
declared today the food situation
would not be altered.
Mr.. Hoover states that me of the
reasons he is willing to undertake the
difficult position as food administra-
tor for the United States is-the
American woman. And in the present
crisis, as in those of the past, the
of the nation have responded
instantly to the first summons. 1t is
not the object of the food administra-
to to dictate to the people what they
shall have on their tables, but there
are certain economies which are
asked of all homes, lessons in con-
servation and increased food produc-
ton. not SO much to teach how, but

STEVE DoMlNeUEz

LAID TO REST
On Thursday morning, September
20, 1917, at 8 o'clock, from the Church
of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the flu
neral Of Steve Dominguez took place
Mr.. Dominguez died at Nambe Tues
day morning at $3.50, after a linger
ing illness OF nine months. During all
of this time he was a patient sufferer
and never complained of the enduring
pain which at last cost him his life,
During his illness he saw rainbows
of promise and clouds of silver lin,
ings floated over his head to remind
him only of the beauty beyond the
grave, of which no Christians are de-
prfved. @s4s}
Mr.. Dominguez vas an intelligent
man and made friends everywhere,
He was a graduate from the Inland
Printer technical school at Chicago
and was the Observation-Disclosures
| graduated from that school. The
boys of the Denver and st. Louis
unions enjoyed his company immense
ly and never forgot him in an hour
of need. Mr.. Dominguez was an only
son and knew only such pleasures
that dear parents could lavish upon
him. He was a loving son, a good
brother, a faithful friend and a devot-
ed husband, and there are many who
win miss him from their midst, as he
lived UP to the motto, "Stand by those
who stand by you"
HE was laid to rest beside his
father and mother, who together died
five years ago, and a sister who pre-
coded him to an early grave. The
~pallbearers were Marcelino Garcia,
Patroncinio Lopez, Pedro Carriega,
Augustin Duran, Augustin Pine and
Juan Atencio, the last three having
been chums of the deceased.
The esteem in which Mr.. Dpmin-
guez was held was shown by the
beautiful floral offerings that COW
cred the casket. Mr.. Dominguez
leaves his widow, who was Miss Mad
cline G. Hoffman, and an only sister,
Mrs. ~Francesqufta de Duran, and 1t
was from her home the funeral took
place.
Thursday morning he was married
at Trinidad, Colo, fourteen years ago,
Uut III CilliQlCh CdLuC W biVoo thOh
union. An only uncle, Severiano Ri
vera, and a number Of nephews and
three nieces are left to mourn his
untimely death. Mr.. Dominguez was
t~hirty-eight years, nine months and
one day Of age at the time of his
death and was a member of the local
typographical union.
Mr.. Dominguez had oceans OF
friends, which was shown by tine
large accompaniment which followed
the body to its final resting place.
To his memory, by his wife:
For thee, dear one, all storms are
over,
For thou hast crossed life's troubled
When / shall cross the River Eden,
How sweet will then reunion be.
I'll always deck your grave with flow
ers,
The sweetest, rarest ever seen,
And with my tears that flow like
showers,
Through life I'll keep them fresh and
green.
