PRESERVE WILD GAME

Don't merely preserve the letter Of
the game laws, but preserve the spirit
as well.
Our wild game is worthy of pre-
serving. Such Of II as is found in
Grant county nine times out Of ten
Is Of value 10 the county.
There has been too much slaughter
for the sake Of slaughter in the coun-
try. That's why we now have a null
titude of game laws that hedge in
a onc common sport on all sides.
II has come to the point, how
yer, where absolute restrictions are
more and nor necessary; If we would
retain what little wild game we
still possess. Let every person in
Grant county realize that the spirit Of
the game laws is 10 preserve the COM
mon heritage Of all; and the best way
TO do this is 10 avoid slaughter Of
all animals except those that are ma
tural enemies 10 the human race or
property.

DON'T CRAWL INTO A HOLE

In spite of the war, the people
of Lordsburg need more business, not
less.
Though the city will do its utmost
in helping to fight the battle of the
country, it is essential that business
at home be continued without a
break, so that we may not falter
in the task. If prosperity fails at
home, if want and destiution prevail,
the spirit for war will be as low as
it is in a soldier when he's hungry.
Grant county belives in steady
progress in keeping the wheels of
industry going, private and public.

Barnard's Runaway" Star, as the
star of remarkably great proper mo-
ton recently discovered in Ophiuchus
Is called by some astronomers, is prob
ably nearer to the solar system than
any other fixed star whose parallax
has been measured with the exception
of Alpha Centaurl. The parallax OBJ
servations at the Allegheny observa-
tory give n value of 3 second, while
from micrometric measures made by
Barnard, Russell obtains n value of
20 second. The parallaX Of Alpha
Centauri is .76 second, corresponding
to distance of 4.3 light years Ac-
cordlng to determinations made by F.
Gonnessiat. In France, from a COM
parison of photographs extending back
to 1897, the new star Is even nearer
than Alpha Centauri. He finds its
parallax to be approximately one Sec
ond, representing distance Of only
3.28 light years.

chean and Nourishinu Dish.

Two ounces of oatmeal are sufficient
to make a plateful of porridge, and
this, with a pennyworth of new milk
and some sugar, provides more nour-
ishing meal than mutton chop, with
out the fat, or half pound of lean
steak.
The porridge, too, contains all that
the body requires-sugar, starch and
fat, to provide for the energy and
warmth of the body, the albumen for
forming the muscles, and the minerals
for building the bones and enriching
the blood, but the steak provides for
the formation of muscle alone, with n
mere trace of the requisite minerals.

Mr.. stryker said that word had come

investigate.
"rhe clerk went to the bail depart
ment of the District Attorneys office
and 10 the clerk of General Sessions
and reported that he could find no
record of Wilson's release" said Mr.
Stryker. "He then went to the Tombs
and found court order to the effect
that Wilson's bail had been provided"
Although tho District Attorney said
that he had heard nothing about Will
sons release. he appeared to take little
interest in the affair.
