quite probable that they will carry

because they viii be a part OF De

here and some OF their own Chums
may have worked on them. The

II is believed that khaki uniforms
for the soldiers will soon be turned
ont here by the government, be
cause the Hamilton Carhartt cor
poration has placed its immense fac
tories az the disposal OF the govern.
ment for the manufacture OF the
uniforms. while the government
has not as yet taken over the fac
tory IL is thought certain IL will do
so almost Immediately.
In making the offer 10 Uncle Sam
the corporation placed at the dis
posal NJ the government all of it's
branch factories as well as its cot.
ton factories in the south. In fact
all the equipment OF one OF the larg-
est overall factories in the world has

CUERVO MAN HAS A
"REFORMED" IDEA OF HEAVEN

Alonzo Osborne was a pleasant
caller at the Clipper office Friday
OF last week, and in the coruse of
conservation told the following:
when l was a young man, /
was pretty rowdy as most young
men are, and on one occasion when
| was feeling my Importance an
old lady friend of mine remarked,
in way of a repremand, Lon, you
will never go to heaven the way
you are doing, Well, you see aunty,
the Jews made heaven and fixed it
according to their ideas of things.
They made the streets of gold, the
gates of pearl, and adorned it with
precious metals within and without.
They constructed the golden stairs
and harps Of god, and crowns of
rare. A young man cares
for nothing like that.
If | had had the making of heaven
| would have made it a large park
with grassy lawns, all shaded with
beautiful leafy trees, and under trees
be rustic seats, swings, and
I would have filed it
with pretty girls, and every one of
you old mothers sons would be
wanting to go to heaven"
Get III of here, you trifling ras-
cal" was her concluding remarks"

SANTA FE SENT MOST SOLDIERS

That Santa Fe sent more troops to the
border than any other city in the United States
in proportion to its population was the state
ment of Adjutant General II. T. Herring at the
Elks patriotic meeting Wednesday night and
that New Mexico will enlist a larger per cent
age of the men for present war than any other
state was his prediction.
Judging from the immense patriotic meet
ings held at Taos, Terra Amarillo, Las Vegas
and this city and the sentiment in all other CT
ties, and the determination of the border coun-
ties we believe be is absolutely correct.
The proposition of F. c. Wilson of this
city to raise a regiment of Pueblo Indians and
of d. K. B. Sellers of Albuquerque to raise a
regiment of Nayajoes will if carried out pro-
badly give us two to one to what any other
state Will have.
The Officers Of the militia have unanim-
otlsly agreed among themselves to re-enter the
service and most of the men are said to be an
xious also to re-enter.
We may certainly be proud of the Sun
shine state for the sincere wave of patriotism.
enthusiasm and determination that has spred
over her vast area in this national crisis.

New Corporations

object of acquiring the Las Cruces
manufacturing business now carried
on by II. J. Herring and c. A. Payne
The authorized capital of the new
concern is $250,000, of which $780,
2oe has been subscribed, almost
wholly by H. w. Pontius, of E. Paso,
Tex. The other incorporators are
George c. Taylor, Frank Butt and
K. w. Butt, all of Albuquerque.
The Pecos Valley Farm Products
company, of Dayton, Eddy county,

INCREASE THE FOOD OUTPUT

Clarence Bell, cashier of the First Ma
tional Bank of Carlsbad, who is familiar with
tn live stock and farming conditions of this
state, gives our farmers and stock raisers
some splendid advice in an interview he re-
Gently had with the editor of one of his home
papers. Mr.. Bell said:
THE farmers and live stock growers of
New Mexico never had such a golden oppor-
tunlty to make money as at present.
Present conditions warrant the farmers
in growing much more feed than usual and
the stockmen may safely increase their herds
and flocks. The price of all meat animals in
creased greatly in 1916. The average price
of beef cattle per hundred pounds in 1916 was
$o.48, an increase of AZ cents over 1915. Hogs
averaged $500 as against $3.50 in 1915.
Sheep averaged $6.3I, an increase of $I.o3
over 1915. Lambs averaged So. 10, All in
crease of $1.34 over 1915. 1t is safe to say
that prices in 1917 will not fall below those
of 1916 for finished meat animals.
The statistics of the agricultural de-
p%artrnent for 1916 show only a slight increase
in the number of mich and beef cattle and
a decrease in hogs and sheep on January 1,
1917. The strong demand and the high
prices for meats in 1916 sent more than
eleven million head Of cattle to market,
thirty million hogs. and fourteen million
sheep: a record total for American markets.
Since the first of the year there has been
heavy marketing of calves which will still
further affect the future meat supply. This
condition must interest the New Mexico farm
ers and live stock growers.
"A large increase in grain and forage
production in New Mexico this season is a
most important consideration. This food is
needed to prevent winter shrinkage. which
was of especial importance in the day of
cheap cattle. but is inexcusable in these DAYS
Of high prices.
And more feed will also make possible the
finishing of steers, sheep, and hogs at home
and thereby obtain their full value when sent
to market.
"1f advantage is taken of present con-
dltions New Mexico farmers and s~to~kr,en
may in 1917 enjoy the most prosperous
season in the history of the state"

THE PACiFISTS

Up To the declaration Of war any and all
citizens of this country had a perfect right to
use their voCcs and influence against the entry
Of this country into war, but that is no longer
the condition.
With the declaration made by congress
after extreme %lerliency and innumerable at
temps to avoid war by the President and the
definite determination of the people of this
country to protect their rights and liberties
on the high seas or elsewhere. any attempt
to hamper the progress of the war is nothing
less than treason.
The Las Vegas Optic expressed the situa-
ti5n very clearly and pertinently a few days
ago in an editorial in part as follows;
"Inciting men to refuse to serve in the
army and navy at a time when the need OF
men is imperative cannot be ANYTHING less
than an tnfricndly act toward the nation.
Also it is a move away from peace instead
of toward it. The larger the army and navy
raised by the United States in this crisis; the
quicker the response of the people to the
rountry's call. the more will the world be
impressed with Americas sincerity in her
desire to defend her rights and her people
from attack. 1t will show the world that we
are not a ulVlueu ptOpIe-dllu the WOIlu,
knowing that the United States, when once it
is aroused and has the undivided support of
all its c~itizenry. can not be trifled with, will
recognize the fact that no nation or group of
nations need attempt to interfere with the
welfare of this great republic. That will go
a long way toward preventing future wars.
And in the present instance it will aid to bring
the world conflict to a close. The pacifists
are on the wrong track"

finding great difficulty in procur-

mar to pass the pickles. The clergy
