PREDATORY ANIMALS ARE
WORKING FOR THE KAISER
AGAINST YOUR UNCLE SAM

1t may be a surprise to many OF
our readers to know that the inn
mediate loss of meat to the consum-
ing public because of cattle and
sheep killed by predatory animals
amounts to approximately l6,OO,W
pounds annually in New Mexico
that If this annual killing were stop
ped and the animals now lost were
to mature and produce and had the
grass to eat that the priarie dog and
rabbit now consume, it you'd mean
100000 pounds a year of mutton
and beef, in these hard times. Is not
this enough to attract the attention
of all the persons engaged in. the
conservation of food stuffs?

This matter was carefully worked
over at our Patriotic Week in Al
buquerque, and these Figures Al, e

may doubt them. Resolutions have
been drawn up and sent to the au-

that by the additional writing of

EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS
From New Mexico War News
NO CHRISTMAS GIVING

The Present demand upon the re-
sources of this country is very grea,
greater. perhaps, in a way, than
ever before. All of the indications
ar. hal the demand will be steadily
increased for the next one or two
or three years. The GREATER our
foresight now, the less the hardship
we will have to endure later. Our
armies and the armies Of our Allies
must be supplied with food, clothing,
equipment, munitions. 1t is foE
America, as a tort Of big brother
or senior partner, to look after the
furnishing of a great part of these
supplies.
If we saw and conserve the food,
and take 4 much larger toll from
the soil, our forces in the field will
be equipped to fight. All they need
is u chance-something like an even
break. N our military and naval
forces are moi handicapped through
scarcity or lack Of supplies, equip
ment and munitions, the enemy will
be beaten, and civilization will be
wrested from the greedy clutch of
the German Military Monster.
Individualism has NO place in the
great plan which is to win this war,
except that the individual may, can
and must, save and economic at
every turn. 1t Is the saving Of the
individual which will put the United
States and its Allies in position to
win thS war with the least possible
loss of lives.
An enormous saving may be ef-
fected if the people will only b. a
little less reckless or prodigal in
their giving of presents during
Christmas. Instead of spending ten
dollars, or one hundred dollars or
one thousand dollars for gifts which
your friends might priz. highly, but
do not really need, save the money
to help win the war. Save it for
some of the issues of Liberty bonds
which are to fellow; contribute it
to the Red Cross or the War Y.
NJ. c. A; spend it for magazines,
newspapers or comfort kits for the
boys at the front, in the training
camps or in the navy; buy Red Cross
Christmas seals which will go for
civilian relief.
Do not slight or neglect the little
children, but choose for them gifts
which ar. useful and sensible, rather
than merely expensive. Millions of
dollars will be made available if the
of this nation will only
hedge" a little in their buying of
Christmas gifts. Go further than
to that you will
buy any Christmas gifts: let it
be known hat you will not accept
any.

LINCOLN COUNTY WOMAN
SHOT AND KILLED.; NO
ARRESTS MADE AS YET

Carrizozo, N. M, Nov. l9.-The
body of Miss Lille Ingram, who had
been shot, was found today by her
brother and a friend concealed in
underbrush on her ranch, six miles
from White Oaks.
Miss Ingram lived alone on the
ranch. She was shot last Saturday,
it was believed, while she was at
tempting to hobble a burro. A bull
let from a $3.50 rifle entered her
right breast and passed out under the
left shoulder blade. Her body was
dragged about 800 yards to the un-
derbrush and hidden there.
Nothing was known of her death
until her brother and his friend, J..
P. Foster, went to the ranch this
morning to visit her. Not finding
her at home, they began a search
which resulted in the finding of the
body.
The identity of the slayer and his
in killing the woman are UNI

POLYCAMY is URGED
BY KAISER-POPE WILL
VIGOROUSLY DENOUNCE IT

Reports reaching the vatican say
polygamy is encouraged openly by
the military authorities of Germany.
The Catholic clergy recently came
into possession of several copies of
pamnhlets which have been distribut-
ed widely among the troops at the
front. The booklets are entitled
Lateral Marriage; the Only Means
for the Formation of a New, Power
full, Armed Force and for Ennoble-
ment of Morality"
One copy forwarded to Rome ex-
horts married women, in the inter-
ests of the fatherland, to obtain the
necessary permission from their
husbands to contract lateral marri-
ages, based upon personal inclina-
ton, with married men, who in turn,
must obtain their wives consent.
Such lateral marriages, it is stated,
can be dissolved after children are
born. Their object is to increase
the birth rate and to mitigate con-
ditions brought about by the war.
The pope has asked for full par
.ticulars, with a view to public de-
nunciation of such propaganda.
