adding the first levy Of e25,O0o
which is to be made shortly by Sc
iective CONSUMPTION, a total armed
force OF 1881, To5 will be under arms
Within the next few months.
With the receipt Of these reports
Of national guard strength it be-
came apparent to War Department
officials that q large levy will be
needed by CONSUMPTION to fill the
gaps in existing arms of the service.
The best estimates today were that
q would be necessary TO call T25,OO0
men to the colors in the frst con-
seription. This means that probably
1000, 900 names will be taken from
the jury wheel in the first drawing,

and economic grounds.
s.Of the drafted totals 625, 900 will
be drawn for the national army, 1t
has been announced, of which
100000 will be for the lighting
forces and $4,000 for reserves.
Practically complete reports show
that the national guard on June 80
Was short 1o3 900 of its war strength
Of $4,000. The regular army yester-
DAY was $1,000 short of Its war
strength of 100000.
Other Forces Carry Thousands.
Allowing for deduction of recruits
taken in before the first draft, War
Department. officials believe it will
be necessary to draft $4,000 for
there two arms OF the service, thus
giving the United States a COM
bined military strength of 1,325,000,
made up OF q national army Of
625, 600 a national guard of ap-
proximateIy 100000, and q regular
army of 100000.
Added to these will be the thou
sands enlisted for the aerial corps,

GRATED ENGLISH WAL NUTS
WILL BEAR IN S YEARS
r. S. TRUMBULL THINKS

In about five years the southwest
will be a producer of fine market
able English w%alnuts in the opinion
of r. S. Trumball, agricultural agent
of the Ell Paso & Southwestern, who
was in FL Paso Monday and spoke of
the success of the movement to graft
English walnut stock on the native
scrub walnuts.
This was started about two years
ago, he said. Personally he has graft
ed about 900 trees, while large land
owners in some cases have set out
large numbers of the grated stock.
Senator Fall, for instance has $500
of the trees at his place at Three
Rivers, N. M, MI. Trumbull said.
Will Bar Next Year
Next year the trees grated by Mr..
Trumbull will begin to bear, he said.
and in a few years New Mexico will
be producing a large annual crop of
the grated mute. There has been a
number of freezes since the grating
done but the trees stood the test
we'll, and proved the process will be
a success, he said.
Inasmuch as the native nuts are
not marketable as a rule, Mr.. Trum-
bull said, he had no figures on the
size of the crop.
The above is from a reliable au-
thority, but inasmuch as the English
walnut on its own root has been
tried again and again in the vicinity
of Alamogordo and froze down be-
fore bearing it is well not to try
the stunt too extensively until it
has been thoroughly proven.-Ala-
mogordo News.

Two Officers In Shooting Scrape

Two Officers In Shooting Scrape
A shooting occurred at the IS mine
camp on Monday night the result
of a discussion between two peace
officers, Stanley Olmsted, chief de-
putty and under-deputy John Allen.
According to authoritative advice
received, Deputy Olmstead had noti-
fled Alien that he was discharged,
but the latter %contended that Olmst-
ed had no right to discharge him
without the consent of the general
manager. Upon the return to the
mine of Manager Interrieden, Allen
was notified that his services as de-
putty and Waterman were no longer
being desired. 1t is said that in the
rooms of MI. Olmsted on Monday
night a heated argument and on
versation ensued ending with Allen
inviting Olmsted outside the build
ing to shoot it out" leaving the
building with Olmsted a short dis
tance behind. Near the door Mr..
Pitts of the mine interviewed, step
ping between the two men to pre-
vent the firing of shots. Both Ohm
sted and Allen were armed and the
former drawing his revolver quick
est, fired one shot at Allen. The
bullet entered the right side of Al
lens body grazing the spine and leav-
ing him paralyzed from the waist
down. Medical aid was Immediately
called and the man removed to DR..
DeMoss' hospital at Lordsburg.

GRANT
Deputv> Sheriff Shot To Death

j. E. "Red" Schrimsheh, one of the
best known and most efficient deputy
sheriffs in Grant county, was killed
near Hachita yesterday by an as
sassin who fired at him from am
bush. The bullet entered his heart
killing him instantly.
Sehrimsher and Walter Birchfield
had been on a trip to Charles Up
shaw's ranch and it was on the re-
turn journey that the murder occur
red. The two men were at Browns
ranch, quite near Hachita, and Birch
field got off his horse to open the
gate. While he was thus engaged
a bullet struck the wire fence near
by and fell at his feet. Almost i'm
mediately a second bullet, fired with
terrible accuracy, struck the deputy
sheriff fairly in the heart and he
fell from his horse dead. No re-
port of the, rifle, or rifles, was heard
and it is presumed that the shots
were fired from a considerable dis
lance.

Schools Literally Oyerflowins

With an enrolment of over two
hundred more pupils this year than
there were at the same time last
year, the Deming schools are facing
the problem of getting nor room
to accommodate the additional num-
Der and of providing equipment to
be used in teaching them.
At the end of the second month
of the school year of 1916, the num-
Der on the rolls was COS, the schools
were barely adequate to provide
room for that number, and now, at
the end of the second month of the
1917 school year, the number en-
rolled is 1881, and the faculty en-
ployed this year has only been in
creased by one teacher over the
number who were employed last
year. In no Dom in the schools
are there enough seats to meet the
requirements of the number of pup
lis who are attending the classes.
and, while the board has ordered
more seats, there is, at present, no
place to put them when they arrive.
In three of the rooms the pupils
have to divide the sessionsy each
half of the classes receiving tuition
half of each period.-Deming
