Many people have commented on the
fact that the National Colors which
float over City Hall are allowed to re-
main out all the time, when they should
be taken in each night, which practice
is contrary to the usage of the country's
flag The custom of leaving the flag
out all night is doubtless the result. of
thoughtlessness. but it is one that
should, be abandoned and doubtless will
be- The flag should be raised at sun
rise and lowered at sunset and at army
posts and on warships the flag isl sal
uted on each occasion. On no occasion
is the flag allowed to remain on the
flagstaff all night. The hag should not
be allowed to remain out during stormy
weather.

us, APPELLATE COURT
HOLDS THAT STATE
LAND FUNDS CAN'T Be
USED FOR PUBLICITY
DECISION OF LATE JUDGE POPE
is REVERSED AT ST. PAuL-FU-
TuRE OF LAND OFFICE PUBLIC
lTY BUREAU IN DOUBT

VIII the publicity bureau Of the
New Mexico land office have to shut
down, or run on a greatly reduced ex-
pense account?
This question is asked today fol-
lowing the announcement made in Al
buquerque by U. S. District Attorney
Summers Burkhart that he had re-
ceived word that the U. s. circuit
court of appeals, sitting at st. Paul,
had ordered the United States district
court for New Mexico to enjoin the
use by the state land commissioners
office of receipts from the sale OF
state lands for publicity purposes,
United States District Attorney Sum-
mers Burkhart was informed yester-
day.
IA law, passed by the state legisla-
ture in 1915, gave the land commits
sioner's office the right to use 8 per
cent of receipts from land sales for
advertising purposes. The legality OF
this act was put to test in a cas- be-
gun in the United States district
court of New Mexico. The late Judge
William H. Pope decided against the
federal government and appeal was
taken to the circuit court of appeals.
1t was in passing upon this appeal
that the circuit court Of appeals d.
rected the federal court of New Mex
leo to enjoin the use by the land CON-
missioner's office Of part of its re-
ceipts for advertising. Judge Pope's
decision in the case was reversed.
The government commended that the
lands had been granted to the state
by the federal government for spe-
cific purposes and that no part Of the
proceeds from them were to be used
for advertising.
Three per cent of the land sales,
the sum provided by the act of the
legislature for advertising, is said to
have amounted to little more than
$4,000 a year.
Land Commissioner r. p. Ervien is
in Clayton and therefore it was i'm
possible to ascertain from him today
whether or not he would appeal the
decision to the u. S. supreme court.
Former Attorney General Frank W.
Clancy and Former Assistant Attor-
ney General Harry s. Clancy, repre-
scented the land commission in this
case in Judge Pope's court. They had
not received today the copy of the
decision. The opinion in full is
awaited with interest.
If the decision is not appealed, 1t
is evident that there will be little
money available to carry on the ex-
tensive publicity campaign now being
conducted with the funds derived
through the act of the legislature.

Flags May
Soon Be Seen Here

Service flags, whose purpose is to
designate families and institutions
giving men to the country's service,
have been finding a great sale in
eastern parts of the country and they
are expected soon to become popular
In Santa Fe. This city has a big re-
presentation in different arms Of SER
vice, and it is only seemly that the
families provide themselves with this
badge of honor.
The service flag has a red border
with blue stars set in the center.
Each star indicates the number OF
men from a family or institution in
military or naval service. The stars
are on a rectangular white field. The
flag is customarily placed above the
front entrance of a residence or bust
ness house.

GENERAL BACA MAY
co TO CAMP KEARNY

Adjutant General James Baca will
likely go to Camp K~earney at Linda
Vista soon, to take an important post
with the troops in training at the can
torment there. Governor Lindsey has
reiced word from Gen. Leonard Wood,
U. s. A., that he considered it ad-
visable to have Adjutant General
Baca with the Spanish-speaking troops
OF New Mexico and Arizona, but that
nearly all OF these troops had gone
from Camp Funston, near Fort Riley,
Kan, to Linda Vista. General Wood
recommended that General Baca be
sent to Linda Vista.
Should General Baca go it is said
that an acting adjutant general may
be appointed to look after the affairs
Of the office here.
Just what title General Baca will
receive If he joins the national army
carrying out his desire to see active
service, has not been announced, but
it is said it is more than likely he
will be appointed a Northumberland
or even a colonel. The presence OF
a large body of Spanish-speaking
troops in Linda Vista cantonment
makes it advisable to have some Of
ficer over them who is thoroughly con-
versant with their language, customs
and character.

"In order to avoid duplication OF

In this connection the Red Cross
made the following statement:
The American Red Cross is sending
out word to all Of its three thousand
chapters in the United States inviting
them to form Naval Auxiliaries in
each chapter composed Of ladies' who
are especially Interested in working

goods will be shipped as the navy de-

The following interesting letter
from Pancracio F. Sena, of Santa Fe,
q son OF Mariana Il. Sena, now with
the New Mexico troops at Camp

been received by the New Mexican:
Editor Santa Fe New Mexican:
Dear Strive have been here al
most three weeks, and this is the
first opportunity l have had to write
your paper and tell you all about our
~up.to-date camp we have in Sunny
California"
The total number of men in this
division to this date is approximately
10000, and there has been a thous-
and conscripts arriving each day for
the past six days, and some more yet
to come. We have six Army Y. M.
G. AS in the camp, including the
knights of Columbus, which is the
largest Of the six. We also have a
large number Of bands amongst the
different organizations, and every
evening after retreat" they hold a
concert in each Of the recreation
buildings (Y. M. G. A. besides other
programs which are arranged by the
managers of the individual organiza-
tons. We have all the modern I'M
provements in the camp available.
Our pyramidal tents have been fitted
with electric lights, and 1t makes 1t
very convenient for the boys to spend
their time after the days work is
done to rest themselves comfortably
and read magazines, etc. The kitch-
n are equipped with gas ranges

The main attraction daily is watch.
ing the aeroplanes, as they fly high
above u grounds. Every day from

1t creates quite a sensation to see
them dip and practice other thrill
ling air stunts.
There was an article in the San
Diego Union about the "sun burnt
veterans from New Mexico arriving
at the division" but I feel justified
in saying that the New Mexico boys
appear to be the neatest and best
disciplined men in the whole divis-
ion; and every time the boys take

feel ure that they will hold them

SCHOOLS AHEAD
OF RURAL SCHOOLS IN
MIGUEL COUNTY
THIS is REPORT OF ASSISTANT
STATE SUPERINTENDENT JOHN
v. CONWAY, AFTER EDUcA.
TlONAL SURVEY

There are good schools in San Mi.
guel county; there are others that are
p~assable, but a large majority of those
he saw are in a deplorable condition,
writes Assistant State School Superin-
tendent John v. Conway, who has just
made an educational survey of San Mi
guel. :.
Mr.. Conway found crowded rooms,
poor attendance, uncomfortable. anti.
school furniture and In a num-
Der Of instances absolute indifference
on the part Of school patrons. He at
tributes the bad conditions largely to
lack Of supervision. The rural schools
have been allowed to stick In a rut and
escape the influence of modern ideas.
In those communities where there are
Catholic sisters teaching or where
Presbyterian mission schools are To-
Gated, Mr.. Conway says the children
are far advanced over those who have
had to rely on the rural public schools
for their education. He offers the
hope, however, that County Superin-
tendent Baca is going to make great
improvements.
In his report Superintendent Con.
way says:
"At Las Gallinas, District No. %,
there are rs children enrolled. The
building is by no means adequate for
the results desired and a better build
ing is urged. AT El Porvenir, No. "a,
