bursed on July list.
j. The North American Hotel Com
pany has attracted attention far and
wide on account Of the many fine
buildings it is erecting. At the pre-
sent time the buildings under con-
struction at kearney, Grand Island
and Scottsbluff, Nebraska, and at
Hampton, Iowa, are progressing
rapidly and in the offices of the
architects plans are being rushed so
as to enable the commencement of
Il buildings at Sioux City, Iowa
at Norfolk, and Ogallala, Nebraska.
and at several points in Kansas at
an early date.
The North American Hotel Com
pany is establishing one Of the large
est chains of modern, thoroughly up
to-date hotels in the country here In
the middle west, which is very much
in need of this very thing. Scores of
.com1nercial clubs and other organiza-
tions and individuals are making the
strongest2kinds of inducements to this
company imam attempt to have North
American Hotel Company's buildings
and service LOCATED in their COM
munities--many offering to subscribe
heavily for stock and thus assist lin
the raising of the capital required in
their construction. .,s
The North American Hotel Com
pany, which is incorpo lated under
the Iowa state laws, is financed very
largely by Iowa, Nebraska, and KAN
sas investors, and the management
of this corporation is in the hands
of a group of middle-west business
men, who have been very successful
in the conduct Of large business en-
terprises. 49,.

Guatemala, Important
Republic Of Central
. America, With u. S.

Washington, ID. C.--Guatemala's decision
to follow the ~exampfe'of the United States
in breaking off diplomatic relations with
Germany adds to the world alliance against
Teutonic Imperialism the most important
OF Central American republics. The Ma.
%Itional Geographic Society in a war geog-
raphy bulletin issued from its Washington
headquarters today, gives the following
data about this new tentative ally:
with an army which in peace times
numbers 1000 men, and with a reserve force
estimated at from $4,000 to $1,000, Guate.
mala is by far the most Important military
force in Central America. In area ii is
N~several thousand square miles larger than
the island of Cuba and approximates the
size OF Louisiana, with . population equal
to that OF Virginia. OF its sister repub.
lies Nicaragua embraces slightly more ter
ritory but has less than one-tfird the popu-
lation.
The total available unorganized strength
of Guatemala Is 1880 men, which is three
fourths as large as all the rest Of Central
America combined. fss s4 y
Guatemala has 20 miles of coastline on
the Atlantic seaboard and 200 miles on the
Pacific, the best harbor. Puerto Barrios, be-
ing on the Atlantic, with regular steamship
service to New York and New Orleans.
"The fact that Guatemala was the first
of the Central American republics to align
itself with the United States came as
something of a surprise in view of the fact
that the country's industrial and commercial
life had been permeated by German infu-
ence before the war. 1t was German CAPT
tai which had built much of the 500 miles
Of railway in the republic, and it was Ger.
many which used to buy a large percent
age of the coffee produced on the Guate.
malan plantations. many of which were
either owned or managed by Germans. One
OF. the leading educational institutions Of
the country is a German school endowed by
the German government. German cotton
goods occupied an important place in the
country's imports before the world-war re-
stricted shipping.
while coffee is Guatemala's chief article
OF export, the country also produces hides,
rubber, bananas, sugar and chicle, the lead
ing customers now being the United States
and Great Britain.
"The capital of the republic, Guatemala
City, a welllighted, modern town OF 10000
inhabitants, five-sixths OF whom are Of Eu.
ropean origin, is situated IS miles from the
Pacific coast on a plateau nearly 5000 feet
above sealevel.
Estrada Cabrera, president Of Guatemala,
has been the chief executive of the country
for 10 years and only a few weeks ago
began another term Of six years"

Santa Fe Lives Up to

the tremendous distances, which thrill the

son, a prominent real estate man of New

Ill from overwork, he nrst tried the Adj

that they are too close to New York City
for absolute rest.
~"Too~many summer hotels and sanataria,'
he remarked. Then he went to Denver and
found that city most attractive, but also too
noisy and lively for the rest cure.

The Woman Auxiliary

THE PRAYER BEFORE BATTLE

This is the tremendous prayer which the
men on British warships hear as they thun-
der into battle:
20 most powerful and glorious Lord God,
the Lord Of Hosts, that ruleth and command
est all things; Thou sittest in the throne
judging right, and therefore we make our
address to Thy divine majesty in this our
necessity, that Thou wouldst take the cause
into Thine wi hand, and Judge between
us and our enemies. Stir up Thy strength,
and com and help us; for Thou givest not
always the battle to. the strong, but canst
save by many or by few. o let not our
sins now cry against us for vengeance; but
hear us, thy poor servants, begging mercy,
and imploring Thy help, and that thou
wouldst be a defense unto us in the face
Of the enemy. Make it appear that Thou
art our Savior and mighty Deliverer,
through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen"
That was the moving prayer our heroes
heard at Trafalgar; it was the prayer used
at the battle of Jutland. 1t must have been
q stirring thought for our seamen that this
very prayer was that which had come from
the hearts of those who fought with Mel
Paper, London.

Tax the Mines

Senators Tully and Mersfelder yesterday
introduced two. bills whose object Is the tax
alton Of the great mining properties of the
state IN the same proportionate basis as
other property is taxed; with the object OF
making the corporations bear their just and
proper share OF the financial burden which
New Mexico must carry to tide her over
the present emergency.
Such a measures as this should of course
be passed promptly by the legislature. Be-
fore additional burdens are laid on the
small taxpayers, Justice demands that the
heavy property owners shall tote" their
end. Balance the thing evenly and then II
an additional weight is necessary, distribute
1t proportionately. The Sprfnger-Hawkins
mine tax law should have been repealed
at the last regular session Of the legislature.
Under the present system. 1t is admitted
that millions of dollars worth of mining
property escape taxation which should be
assessed upon them.
As already pointed out, the nation has
started out on the basis of making the
wealthy corporations bear the brunt of the
first financing Of the war. This plan should
be carried into every state. Particularly
should corporations which do not pay what
they should in time of peace, do SO in time
of war.
Some OF the rich mining companies have
shown considerable public spirit in aiding
the present campaign for defense and in
creased production. They should have full
credit for this; but it does not affect their
duty Of contributing their just share of tax
es to the state,

getic and vigorous way in which the 'frst

work is an earnest Of success and real use

After all, in war or peace, 1t is the woman
who generally bears the heaviest part OF
the burden. 1t is highly appropriate that
the women of New Mexico are oflcialiy rep

the supply of foodstufs, providing for the

lowed our political prejudices, praised our
political opponents, put our shoulder to the
wheel with men for whom politically we
have not the slightest use. and filled the
columns of the New Mexican with every
kind of matter which might aid the people
in efficiently answering the call of their
country to work and sacrihce-to the abso'
lutte exclusion of politics.
Now if the political powers of evil in New
Mexico want to respond to magnanimity
with a club, we are ready, as usual, to go
the whole route; and as stated before, we
can imagine no service. to the public. the
state and nation, Of greater value than for
ever eliminating their power and influence
from the affairs of New Mexico.

The Contempt Case

The president of the New Mexican Print.
ing Company, Bronson M. Cutting; the editor,
and Francis c. Wilson, attorney Of record
have been cited to appear and show cause
before Judge M. c. Mechem of the Seventh
Judicial district why they should not be pun
ished for contempt Of court"
The charge Of "contempt of court, is
based on an article in this paper concerning
the action Of Merritt G. Mechem as a private
citizen in filing a purported affidavit before
the board Of bar examiners In defense Of
Attorney NJ. c.. Spicer, who appeared for
PLAINTIFF in the libel suit of Henry Dreyfus,
6ursum office-holder, against the New Mexi-
can Printing Company and was charged with
signaling to his client while the latter was
on the witness stand. y
The New Mexican wishes to impress upon
the public again the fact that It has criti.
cized no judicial act or official conduct of
Judge M. C.. Mechem Of the Seventh judi.
cial district, and as previously stated, OBJ
served the most %scrupuIous respect not only
for the courts action on the bench but his
personal wishes during the trial Of the case.
1t has, however, maintained that the per-
son Of Private Citizen M. c.. 1Mechem was In
no sense sacred from newspaper comment
and stands pat on that proposition. 1t is
needless to state that notwithstanding this
papers invitation to N. G. Meehera to- deny
the statements made about the affidavit case,
no denial, after six weeks, has been forth
coming. This Is, of course, because the
facts were stated truthfuIiy and accurately
concerning the circumstances attending the
filing Of the purported affidavit. ig

The Senate s Stand

The New Mexican has been in favor of the
81, 500, 900 Appropriation as a war emergency
fund, believing it wise to have plenty OF
money available when needed.
Developments the latter part of the week
incline us to the belief that it would not be
safe for the house to get its bill enacted into
law. We arrive reluctantly at the conclu'
sion that certain political interests in this
state must be watched even more closely
in time of public emergency than at other
times; and that the wolves are hungry and
active.
We are in favor Of placing all possible
checks on the disbursement of monies to
meet the emergency. The senate public de-
tense bill seems much safer than that passed
by the house. 1t is a little hard to believe
thai men in New Mexico would seek to take
advantage of such a crisis for their own
selfish ends, but evidently it is a fact.
Hence the situation must be faced frankly,
in the interest of the taxpayers.
The New Mexican has no criticism to
make of the work of the war committee.
In view, however, Of what is becoming evi-
dent, we believe it would be wise for the
governor in appointing either a war com
mittee or council of state defense, to make
it conspicuously non-partisan. We suggest
that no political party leaders be placed OIL
it; If such leaders are named, they shout
counterbalance each other politically To
do otherwise, we fear, will only give rise
to complaint that the vital affairs of the
state in time of crisis are in partisan hands.
Such a committee has charge of the well
fare NOT only of Republicans but of over
fifty per cent of New Mexicos voters who
voted the Democratic ticket last fall.
Politics having been injected into the
situation. it should be elected as far as pos
sibIe.. This is not a criticism of the gov.
ernor nor the war committee, whose mem
bers we have praised. 1t is a suggestion
that a situation which has developed should
be faced.
We trust the senate will continue to stand
pat on its bill.

An Iceless Refrigerator
COOLING BY EVAPORATION THE PRlN'
cIPLE or THIS HOMEMADE sToR-
AGE COOLER

Washington, d. C.-Refrigerators can be
made to do their part in conserving food
this summer. Preserving milk, butter and
other supplies and keeping leftiovers and
unused portions until they are needed will
be their service. If ice is not obtainable,
an iceless refrigerator, cooled by evapora.
ton, can be easily constructed. Women
demonstrators in extension work, south, OF
the U. s. department of agriculture, tell how
to make such a cooler at a small cost. "a
This refrigerator consists of a wooden
frame covered with canton flannel, burlap
or heavy duck. 1t is desirable that the frame
be screened, although this is not necessary.
Wicks, made of the same material as the
covering, resting in a pan of water on top
of the cooler, conduct the water over the
sides and ends of the pan and allow 1t to
seep down the sides Of the box. TIL evap-
GRAFTON from this moistened covering
causes a lower temperature inside. On dry,
hot days a temperature of so degrees has
been known to be obtained in the cooler.
This is the way to build it:
Make a screened case 3H feet high with
the other dimensions IL by Is inches. IL
"a solip top is used, simply place the water
pan on this. Otherwise, fit the pan closely
into the opening of the top frame and sup
port It by Inch cleats fastened to the in
side of the frame. Place two movable
shelves in the frame, IL to Is inches apart.
Use a biscuit pan II by IA inches on the
top to hold the water, and where the re.
frigerator is to be used indoors have the
whole thing standing in a large pan to
catch any drip. The pans and case may
be painted white, allowed to dry, and then
enameled. A covering of white canton
flannel should be made to fit the frame.
Have the smooth side out and button the
covering on the frame with buggy or auto
mobile curtain hooks and eyes, arranged 80
that the door may be opened without UNI
these hooks. This can easily be
done by putting one row Of hooks on the
edge of the door near the latch and the
other just opposite the opening with the
hem on each side extended far enough to
cover the crack at the edge of the door,
so as to keep out the warm, outside air
and retain the cooled air. This dress or
covering will have to be hooked around the
top edge also. Two double strips one-haif
the width of each side should be sewed on
the lap of each side covering, and allowed
to extend over about 2A. or 3 inches in the
pan OF water. The bottom of the covering
should extend into the lower pan.
Place the refrigerator in a. shady place
where air will circulate around 1t freely.
II buttons and buttonholes are used on the
canton flannel Unsteady of buggy hooks, the
cost will be reduced.
