Committeeman.

Success was assured. Yesterdays re-
ports bring the big total up to 62'
memberships.
Yesterdays meeting was of a char
acter to enthuse men already on
their toes, and from the time the au-
djence joined in the chorus of 20,
Fair New Mexico" to the last time
they sang He Amt Got No Style,
the interest was at fever pitch. When
the men were asked whether it was
time to stop or not, cries arose from
all parts of the room, urging that the
campaign go on.
Those experienced in campaigns,
realizing the value of a follow-up
urged that a cleanup day be set and
that the committeeman be formed
into flying squadrons for the purpose
OF seeing the remaining prospects.
The committeeman decided to take a
couple of days off to open their mail
and get acquainted with their families
and on Monday morning they will
meet again in the rooms of the cam
paign committee in the Commercial
club building and go out and wind up
the campaign.

albuquerque an Example

Speaking of the publicity that
would accrue to Albuquerque as re-
suit of the so successful Forward
Albuquerque" campaign, Edward F.
Trefz told the committeeman that in
all his lectures on Chamber of Com
merce topics delivered in towns all
over the United States, Albuquerque
would be mentioned as a shining ex-
ample of "how to do it," Mr. Trefz
also has in mind the publication in
magazine having for it's objects the
development of the Chamber Of Com
merce idea in towns and cities
throughout the world, an article de-
scribing the situation as he has seen
1t in Albuquerque. This particular
publication is taken by practically all
trades associations throughout the
country and eleven thousand homess
throughout America, not to mention
their foreign subscription list.
This will amount to more than 500
columns Of publicity during the COM
ing year and will be the strongest
throb the Heart of the Well Coun-
try" has ever sent out.

The singing of 20, Fair New Mexi-
co" by Miss Irma Wolking was high
lN appreciated by all present. Miss
Wolking also played tie accompani-
ment to the various campaign songs
and displayed remarkable tech
nique. Several short talks were
made. M. e. Hickey, who has
been on the inside of almost
every campaign, Albuquerque has
seen in recent years, stated that
never had he seen Albuquerque so
thoroughly united on any proposition.
ID. A. Macpherson stared that in his
opinion a monument should be erect
ed to those men who had brought this
thing about.
But perhaps" said Mr.. Macpher-
son, mo more fitting monument than
what they have accomplished could
possibly be thought of, and it will
endure" G. A. Kaseman referred to
the prophetic vision of John Lee
Clarke, who had predicted ten years
ago that they would live to see this
day. Mr.. Kaseman congratulated
heartily all who had had any connec-
ton with so successful a campaign.
Maurice I. Church, who has had
experience in great many cam
paigns in various parts of the coun-
try, stated that in all his experience
which covers cities ranging in size

FOOD SHORTAGE

The following items of food short
age compiled from information gath
cred from the state agricultural col
lege are interesting from the view
point of the farmer who fears an
overproduction and consequent slump
in foodstuff prices the coming year.
The 1917 wheat crop Of the United
States was 51,744,O00 bushels less
than the 1916 crop and 243,947,0
bushels less than the 1915 crop.
This years wheat crop in Argen-
tina and New Zealand is only 10 per
cent of last years crop.
The corn crop of the leading corn
producing countries of the world was
439 100000 bushels less in 1916 than
in 1915.
The stock Of lard on hand in the
United States April /, 1917 was 42.5
per cent less than the stock On hand
the same date 1916.
A decrease OF 36.o per cent occurred
in the stock of eggs from April /,
1917, to April /, 1916.
The government of Argentina, fear
ing shortage Of wheat for local con-
sumption, declared an embargo in
March, which absolutely prohibited
the shipment Of wheat from the coun-
try.
In connection with these statistics
the following extract from a personal
letter is of interest: with the great
food shortage in the world and espec-
tally in the countries Of our Allies,
there is every reason to believe that
prices for producers will continue on a
high level" d. r. Houston, United
States Secretary Of Agriculture. A
similar statement was made by the
authority in the March issue Of The
National Geographic Magazine. Be-
cause Of the shortage Of such crops
practically throughout the world,
there is no risk in the near future Of
excessive production.

Sentiment developed at mass meet.
ings of milk producers all over New
England Monday was unanimous that
there was imperative necessity of an
immediate increase in the price OF
milk at the farms.
1t will be impossible, under the
present high cost of grain, the scare
ity of labor and general war time con-
ditions, to induce farmers to continue
their dairy herds unless they receive
seven of eight cents per quart for
milk, delivered at railroad stations.
The price of milk will probably be in
creased to the consumers correspond
ingly.
The producers believe the cost of
producing milk will increase greatly
during the next six months. Accord
ing to reports from Washington, the
Allies are in desperate need of more
of our food supplies from this coun-
try, and the railroads may be granted
an increase in freight rates. In the
latter case the New England farmers
get hit both ways: first, by the addi-
tional cost of feed for herds; and, sec
ond, because of the higher rate to get
the product to market. IL Is per
cent increase in freight rates is grant
ed the railroads, it will cost the farm
er about one-half cent on every quart
of milk produced.
In many sections of New England
farmers find already that it is more
profitable to feed milk to swine, for
which they receive 20 cents per pound,
Shan to ship it to Boston in cans for
,he price now being paid. Farmers
at the mass meetings Monday declar-
ed their patriotism, but felt there was
no call for them to produce food at a
loss, unless a like requirement pre-
vailed anon gother producers, manu-
facturers, bankers and merchants.

NORWICH UNIVERSITY
AND THE WAR

From all indications, Norwich Uni
versity, the oldest military school of
any kind in the United States, West
Point excepted, which has furnished
more officers for our army for every
war in which we have been engaged
since the war of 1872, West Point
again excepted, will no doubt again
live up to its past record. Norwich is
sending 35 per cent of its undergrad
yates to the officers training camp at
Plattsburg, and other points, in addi-
ton to supplying number of officers
for the marine corps, navy, and regu-
lar army. In addition to this, Is
undergraduates are now engaged in
giving military instruction to home
guards, high schools, and other mill
tary units. Ten undergraduates, who
are too young for the Plattsburg
training camp, have left the univer-
sity To take up work on the farm in
in the matter of food pro-
duction.
Norwich University is attempting
to continue its academic courses, and
will carry out its full college schedule
for the year. The class attendance
has been greatly reduced, and some
classes have had to be abandoned, as
here are no students for them. For
those who are still in attendance, no
part of the academic or military in
,truction is being neglected.

ROMANCE IN RED CROSS
W0man's Heroism in Civil War Laid
Its Foundation

Its Foundation
The American Red Cross moved into
its new memorial building in Wash
ington last week. The extensive men,
bership campaigns in Boston, New
York, and other large cities have re-
suited in a jump from $4,000 to $780,
900 members in less than a year.
Partly due to the added stimulus of
the war, and partly TO the better un-
derstanding of the work Of the Red
Cross itself, the organization is now
we'll on its way TO attain member
ship of half million within the next
year. This will still be far below the
membership of the japanese Red
Cross.
1t is more than appropriate that the
Red Cross should now have as its
headquarters a memorial presented by
the Congress of the United States and
public spirited citizens. The new
building is dedicated TO the heroic
women Of the Civil war, both of the
North and the South. Nothing could
typify more delicately the breadth Of
vision of the work of mercy for which
the organization lives and grows.
Whether caring for victims Of war,
flood and famine, or merely
of general carelessness and ignorance
Of the laws Of health, this organiza
ton has known no national lines and
no prejudices. 1t has conducted re-
lief work in China, Japan, and in the
Near Eastern part of Europe. II has
alleviated much Of the intense suffer
ing caused by floods, earth quakes and
,ther disasters in every part Of the
United States. It's work is super
rational. Nothing then is more fitting
han TO have its new home dedicated
20 the historic reunion Of our own
country and TO the women whose bray-
Try and willingness TO forgive made
hat reunion possible.
The unique history Of the Red Cross
Memorial centers about a story of
