J. NJ. McMath is making prepara-
tions for unloading a large bean hull
Ter of the very latest type which he
during his trip in the east.
The machine will be here sometime
during the coming week Mr.. McMath
has already contracted the majority
of the bean hulling north of town.
This will indeed be big help to
the farmers in this vicinity as this
will eliminate the troublesome re-
cleaning of the beans after they had
been threshed and some farmers say
that it will save them the price of
their thrash bill on account Of not
cracking any beans. 1t looks like
this was an established bean country
for sure when Mr.. McMath who has
until recently been at the head of
the Bull Tractor Co. in this State
and who probably knows the farm
ing conditions and possibilities of
New Mexico as we'll as anyone will
put large amount of money in up

ATTEMPT MADE TO BLOW UP
SOCORRO LIGHT PLANT

An attempt to destroy the Socorro
electric light plant one night this
week was baked by the engineer
who discovered a package of dyna-
mite which had been thrown into
the building, and hurled it out
through the window, and only in
time to save the engineers life and
prevent the entire destruction of the
plant, as the explosion shook build
ings and awoke virtually the entire
town.
The first intimation of the at
tempt came when the engineer came
in from the boiler room and dis
covered the package on the floor
and without seconds hesitation
threw it out the window. The ex-
plosion took place only a few Sc
conds after the package left his
hand. The attempt is a mystery
and the motive of the would be dy-
is unexplainable.
Search for the dynamiter was be-
gun at once, but as yet no arrests
have been made.

GERMAN AIRMEN
KILL WOUNDED
IN HOSPITALS
THE ENEMY SEEMS TO BE
PROMPTED BY PURE GUS
SEDNESS IN DESTRUCTION
OF THEIR OWN WITH THE
OTHER SUFFERERS

London, Eng, Sept. 7-The Ger
mans yesterday made an aerial at
tack upon the American hospitals
occupied by St. Louis and Harvard
contingents, situated in a coast vii
lage, killing one officer of the Ameri-
can army medical corps and wound
ing three others severely, Reuters
correspondent at British hcadquart-
ers in France telegraphs today.
Two others of the rank and file
were killed and 10 wounded, five of
the latter being Americans.
This is merely one of many such
raids made by German airmcn recent
Iy upon hospitals in France, indicat-
ing systematic attempt to demoral
ize the hospital service of the allies.
Hospitals Plainly Marked
Airmen have continually appeared
above the hospitals, which were
plainly dis,nated by Red Cross
markings on their roofs and which
flew the flag Of the Red Cross, and
have bombardcd them with explosive
bombs. in spite of the humanity
and the violations of international
law involved as well as the viola
tions OF the internationally recogniz-
ed rules of war.
German Wounded Are Also Victims
In one of the first raids on a
French hospital, committed about
two months ago, the German await
or steadily bombed the hospital while
and orderlies hurriedly carried
outside their patients, numbering
more than one hundred. of whom
many were wounded German pris-
oners. A number of the latter were
killed.
A Systematic Campaign
There is every indication that the
Germans have taken on systematic
of destroying hospitals TAX
ing no thought of the helpless wound
ed inside or of the noncombatant
surgeons and nurses.
No Cause For Mistake

CLIMATIC SUMMARY FOR
NEW MEXICO, AUGUST, 1917

The month averaged practically
normal in temperature but some be-
low the normal in precipitation. Dis
tricts from the Rio Grande valley
westward, except the southwest
mountain areas, were much lacking
in rainfall, and minor districts over
the eastern half of the State were
also deficient. This was especially
the case in much of Eddy County,
and in southeast Chaves, in north
ern Guadalupe. southern San Miguel
and central and northwest Union. On
the other hand a fair excess oc-
Cured over southern Colfax, Mora,
northern San Miguel, Lincoln and
western Chaves counties. The south
cast mountain districts had heavy
local showers. Over the State, as a
whole, however, the showers were
very local in character and near
by places differed widely in the
amounts received. Farming con-
ditions, while favorable as whole
over the eastern half of the State,
were largely matter Of small COM
munities. Thus at Buchanan the OBJ
server states: "The rains of the 18th
brought relief from the drouth, and
started the range so it is getting
good the last of the month" On the
other hand, the observer at Ingle-
vile, 80 miles southeast, says: "There
have been good showers in some
places, but we are needing rain bad
1y; no crops, not much grass and
prospects are gloomy. And at Know
les, in ga County. the observer saws
This immediate section is in the most
destitute condition. no crops and no
grass here. although good rains have
fallen north and west"
In the western half of the State
irrigated districts have done well. also
ranges in much of Socorro and north
ern Grant Counties, but elsewhere
rains have been light and insufficient.
