were won by Chicago on their home
grounds. The fisrt game Saturday

The following story is taken from

paper published in Denver, Colo,
"Tess Jenkins, millionaire cowman

the scheme, old as the homestead

Through verbal promises it is
claimed that Jenkins agrees with the
homesteader that he viii dig wells

When they make their final proof
Mr.. Jenkins agrees to nay the home

ORDER TO REMOVE DRIFT
FENCES is RESCINDED

As a result of resolutions passed
by the New Mexico Cattle and Horse
Growers association at their con-
vention in Albuquerque, March 20,
81 and q. the order of the General
Land Office for the removal of all
drift fences on the Public Domain on
or before April IS, has been rescind-
ed. The resolutions set forth that
the removal of the fences in New
Mexico at the time specifid would
work an immense hardship to tic
cattlemen, through preventing them
from gathering their steers for early
delivery and would scatter cows and
calves at a season that would work
a great detriment, and they asked
that the fences be allowed to stand
until an opportunity was had for the
stockmen to better arrange their
business. While it is inevitable that
the old drift fences must go the
cattlemen's organization felt that
the time set for the removal was
most inopportune.

ATKINSON BUSY ON
GOOD ROAD PLANS

w. M. Atkinson, recently appoint
ed a member of the state highway
commission, will leave tomorrow in
company with Engineer W. c. Da-
wilson for Alamogordo where the
two road experts will meet with the
board of county commissioners of
Otero county in working out plans
looking to the development of roads
in that section and in contemplation
of the bond issue for good roads
which will be determined by a spe-
cial election in the near future. From
there Mr.. Atkinson will go to Caro-
zozo to meet with the commissioners
of Lincoln county, and will thence
journey to Tucumcari to confer with
the commissioners of Quay. coun-
ty. In the allotment of the dis
tricts of the state for the purposes
of highway promotion, Mr.. Atkinson
has been chosen by the state high
way commission to represent the
counties of Chaves, Quay De Baca,
Lincoln, Curry, Roosevelt, Eddy,
Otero, and Lea, giving him nine
counties. 1t is his purpose to meet
with the boards of these several
counties before the meeting of the
state highway commission which is
scheduled for April 18th. Mr.. At
kinson states that upon his recon-
mendation, the state highway COM
mission has designated as a link in
the system of highways of the state.
the road formerly declared opened
by the local road board of the coun-
ty from this city to Hope, which
fits in with the designated high
way from Artesia to Ell Paso, via
Hope. These designations Of high
ways by the state commission will
be recommended to the federal go
vernment and form the part of a
general pan of national highways.
Later these designations will come
in for maintenance by the state and
possibly some federal assistance may
be obtained. Similar recommends
tons were made by the state high
way commission for the designation
of . road from Lovinston to Eiida,
via Tatum-Roswell News.

But in the field Of furnishing the

SO far as the dependents Of soldiers
and sailors against want, and OF meet
Ing the many obligations which war
placed in whole Or in part upon
civilians. many organizations were
overlapping actiyity and dissipated
effort was inevitable unless some
thing was done. It was evident that
there must be close cooperation Of
forces under the general direction of
the Red Cross.
Cooperation Accomplished.
Az a result Of work which has
been done since the declaration Of a
state Of war. this cooperation has
practically been accomplished. Waste
will be reduced to a minimum and
the maximum production will be pro-
NOTED.
The most recent step taken by the
Red Cross was to e to 1t that the
supplies provided met the require
ments Of those needing them. With
this purpose, exact specifications OF
the articles useful to hospitals. SOL
diers and sailors were obtained from
the military, naval and medical au-
thorities and distributed throughout
the country.
The problem of distribution was a
troublesome one. but, the Red Cross
officials believe, 1t has been solved.
In this matter the Red Cross consid-
cred itself as the neck Of an hour
glass through which all supplies
should pass and find their destina-
ton without waste and duplication.

DESTRUCTION A GRATIFYING SIGN

People have occasion sometimes to feel q sense of
qualification for some peculiar things.
There is the story of the British matron who, on
receiving a letter from France, heaved a sigh Of relief
and said: Thank God! Dear Charles is safely wounded
at last"
There is the other story of the English private who.
after crossing to the continent and escaping all hazard
of wind and wave. mine and submarine. wrote: Dear
Mother: You will be glad to know that after a some-
what exciting trip across the Channel I am now safely
in the trenches"
There is a similar paradox in the qualification that
one feels In reading that the Germans are destroying
the French mines just beyond Lens.
The destruction Of property is not at any time a
pleasant thing to contemplate. We know something Of
the spirit of savage brutality with which the work of
destruction in the territory recently evacuated by the
Germans was carried out. Not only was everything de-
stroyed which could be Of any military value, but the
work Of destruction was made to include everything on
which the retiring invaders could lay their hands. The
spirit Of unreasoning anger seems to have taken pos
session of those in charge, and nothing was sacred from
the ruthless hands of the Germans just before their re-
treat.
In the district just beyond Lens are some Of the
most important mines in Europe. For two years the
large portion Of their supplies have been drawn from
them. When. therefore, we learn that the Germans are
wrecking the mines as fast as they can, we may be as
sured Of two things, first, that the Germans expect to
leave that vicinity very soon; second, that they do not
expect to return. For all of which We may properly
return thanks.
