"MOTOR MINUTE MEN"
ARE BEING LINED UP NOW

They will be able to get over the
ground rather more swiftly than the
Minute Men" of the Revolution, and
will be no less patriotic. Their val
ue to the state and to the nation
will be great, when it is taken into
consideration that they will be able
to transport swiftly great numbers
of men and large quantities of sup
plies-and even munitions. when cal
led upon to do so.
Appointing Commanders
The organization is being perfect
ed by Governor Lindsey and the
Council of Defense this week with
the appointment of captain in
each county to command the swift
squadron.
The Council of Defense desires at
this time to acknowledge its indcbt-
edness to Leroy O. Moore, OF Santa
Fe, for his able and faithful work in
laying the foundation for this organ
ization. Acting upon his own ini-
tiative and at his own expense, he
sent out inquiries to the automobile
owners of the state, asking how
many would offer their cars for SER
vice. The response to Mr.. Moore's
inquiries was generous, almost 1900
loyal citizens pledging the use of
their cars without reservation.
