WAR IS COSTING
HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS A DAY

Washington, d. C., October g.
Secretary of the interior Franklin X
Lane, in an interview here today
brought out some of the serious
phases of the war little realized by
the American people.
This war is costing not less thar
one hundred million dollars a day
but this is the least of its cost" said
he. There are five million hos
pitfalls beds in Europe. Those beds
have been filled three times since
this war began. Fifteen million men
the stalwarts of Europe, have pas
sed over them, ad ten million blind.
armless, or shattered wrecks and
remnants of men will live in Europe
for years to come to testify to the
horrors of this war. Nine million
men, three times the number of the
men the north and south sent into
our civil war, have been killed.
This Is Supreme
We never fought a war in which
we did not know that we were right.
This war, however, is to be a supreme
test. We are to test the fibre Of
lty to cooperate; we are to test our
sense of ~nationalism; we are to test
our loyalty to democracy; we are
to test to the ultimate the resources
of our nation, the capacity of our
mines and our miners. of our farms
and of our farmers, of our mills and
mill hands.

500 Acres In Tomatoes

This has been an extraordinary
favorite season for tomatoes in the
Pecos valley. Stimulated by govern
ment requests and urged by canning
establishments to increase the yield,
the farmers hereabouts have a much
greater acreage than ever before,
and the quality of the tomatoes was
never better. From Artesia south
ward to Lakewood more than 500
acres are planted to tomatoes. The
canning factory at Lakewood is run
ming to full capacity and expects
to can close to 100 carloads. The
one at Dayton will can about 40
carloads.

Saw Mills To Start

Saw Mills To Start
Announcement has been made from
an authoritative source that the saw
mills will sun operations again
in a short time.
Operations are depending at pre-
sent upon the receipt of engines and
machinery parts. The engine which
was wrecked a few months ago will
be repaired and ready for moving
logs in the course of a few weeks.
The other engines will be in shape
sooner.
When the mills resume operations
it will take a large force of men for
logging operations in the mountains,
several train crews to haul the logs
and a big force of men at the mill in
Alamogordo. AS business naturally
picks up in the community when the
sawmills have a payroll going every
one is glad to hear that the mill is
to start again.

Nothing Lacking At Fair

The record lust made by the Dona
Ana County Fair for 1917 will GO
down in the history of the county
as by far the most successful county
fair from every standpoint that has
ever been conducted in the county.
Several things verify this state
nent. From a purely commercial
standpoint the financial results OF
the fair were far ahead of any pre-
vious one, the gross attendance and
receipts of all kinds being much
larger than ever before.
The chief value of the fair how
ever is its educational and community
influence. In this respect the 1917
fair has made an enviable record,
Never before in Dona Ana county
has there been so large and repre-
sentative attendance of farmers who
have come to learn, to make exhib-
its, and to exchange ideas.-Las Cru
