Stockmen s Range
Rights Reserved

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, June g.
Stockmen holding grazing priv
ileges on the National Forests,
who enter the army or navy, may
have their range rights reserved
during their absence, according
to an announcement made here
today by District Forester Paul
G. Redington.
The plan is authorized in a
telegram just received from the
Forester at Washington.
Stock owners, who desire to
take advantage of this privilege,
are asked to file a statement with
the local Forest Supervisor, so
that provisions can be made for
the tempo.,a use of the vacated
ranges by others in the interim.
Under the Forest regulations,
range privileges may be held
only through use. The new rul-
ing protects those who will be
forced to discontinue use of the
range through entering the ma
tional service, and at the same
time guards against the vacated
ranges lying idle.

FOLLOWS ANCESTOR

Following in the footsteps of
his illustrious ancestor, Francis
Deuber, a direct descendant of
Francis Scott Key, the author of
The Star Spangled Banner, y
is now serving his country in the
arm of our national defense
which will be First To Fight"
- the Marine Corps.
Private Deuber's mother is a
great daughter of the au-
thor of our national anthem, on
the maternal side. Deuber's
resemblance to his renowned an
cestor is said to be so noticeable
that many of those who have
seen the original Francis Scott
Key picture have commented up
on the remarkable likeness.

ner in the house of Morgan is its
financial chief. Its accounts are
audited by the War Department.
Its existence and operations are
directed under special Acts of
Congress. and President Wilson
himself, by executive order,
established the Executive Com
mittee under which the Red Cross
is now being managed.
The Red Cross is therefore a
part of the fighting forces of the
government and must be sup
ported as such. This support
will be easy enough to get when
that support is too late. Let the
toll of one battle mount-as it
often does to $4,000 men or
more! With the hospitals over
crowded and our own men dying
for want of attention. the re-
sponse to the Red Cross call will
roll in fast enough but then it
will be too late.
Don't you be one of those to
hold back until that time. Don't
be a Stacker. You inevitably will
contribute. Why not now?

Great Success.

The melodrama, "The Old New
Hampshire Home" given by our
local Dramatic Club, under the
auspices Of the Civic Club, in
theAuditorium last Thursday eve
ming was a grand success from
every standpoint. That the pub
lie had the abundant faith in the
caste was proved by the crowded
house; and that the audience was
not disappointed, was shown by
the uproarious applause given
during the production Of the
play.
The proceeds of the play, which
amounted to almost a hundred
dollars after deducting all ex-
penses, will be used by the Civ
ic Club in connection with the
Town Authorities in making the
town more beautiful, in providing
little comforts for visitors. re
moving unsightly and unsanitary
mudholes, and doing the hum
dred-and-one things go much
needed, and yet 80 much neglect
ed.
By reference to an article else
where. it will be seen that the
organization of the Dramatic
Club is to take permanent form,
and that we may look forward to
some of the very best of enter
tainments.
We have the talent, and the
plays they give US are not ex.
ceeded by the high-priced troupes
that travel the road and bid for
our patronage at Chautauquas

TWENTY DEAD.
Fast Freight Ran Into Rear Of Passen.
ger Express at Mt. Union Last
Tuesday Morning.

Nineteen passengers and
Pullman porter were killed wher
a fast freight crashed into the
rear of the Mercantile Express
train eastbound. at Mt. Union,
early Tuesday morning. The
sleeping car Bellwood, on the
rear of the express, was telescop-
ed and every one in it with the
exception of a woman and a boy
killed.
The express, due at MI. Union
at 11:44 P. NJ, arrived IL min

was held while the trouble was
remedied and the signal to start
had been given when the pre-

tween so and 60 miles and hour,
crashed into the rear. The i'm
pact smashed it into a compact
mass. Caught in their berth,
the passengers had not the slight

Cook, the freight engineer who
had only recently been promoted
to the throttle. it is said, declares
that the block signal at the
"UM" tower, a mile and a half
from Mt. Uniun showed white,
indicating a clear track. His

in the cab when the tower was

The Basis Of Success.

The American boys heart
swells at the thought of success.
He dreams dreams in which he
sees himself the center of an ap-
plauding multitude. He mag.
ines himself a popular military
or naval hero, or else a powerful
statesman or a commanding cap
itallst. He reads impossible tales
OF boys who accomplish things
that few men can do. But mean.
while ne is taking no steps lead
ing to any exceptional career.
The fame attained by the late
Conceal Frederick Funston, who
has been as well known an any
American soldier of the present
generation, illustrates about how
fame and exceptional success
come to a man. Funston made
his reputation by capturing Agu-
inaldo. 1t was a daring attempt
when he and his small company
v%entured into the rebel chiefs
village. Most men would have
said it was impossible. But
Funston had the courage, the
nerve, the determination and he
did it.
In the ordinary life the seeker
for success is not asked to risk
his life. He need not risk even
his health. All he has to do is
to show grit and indomitable
perseverance. He has got to
keep on keeping on" as the
poet said, after other people have
become discouraged.
The world is full of the 1T
can't be done" spirit. Every
one finds plenty of opportunities
for growth and expansion. In
every business position there is a
higher success that can be achiev-
ed. Some one is going to achieve
it. But it requires devotion to
duty, a concentration of ones
mind, a persistence in the face
Of obstacles, which most people
are unwilling to give.
Most people look the obstacles
over, they are bafled by them,
and then they quit. A large
success means a long fight.
Success is not a matter of luck
nor, usually of exceptional genius
more often it is merely the
gift of the sticking to a thing.
