ANOTHER I SHARP
RISE IN COM
modify PRICES

Little, if any, abatement could be
discerned this week to the rising ten
dency Of cash markets for the articles
in most general consumption, there
being 20 advances in the 331 QUOTA
tions received l,y Dunn's Review, as
against only Is declines. Aside from
a slight contraction in the price of the
finer grades of butter, which was less
than might have been expected at this
season, the strength Of dairy products
was fully maintained, cheese being
very very steady, while eggs were
somewhat fir1ner. The unfavorable
wheat crop was followed by active
buying and quotations of that grain
and flour were forced sharply upward,
while corn, oats and rye followed the
course of the more expensive cereal.
Live meats and provisions displayed
unusually irregularity, though there
were few changes of special impro-
tance, and the movements in one di-
rection about Offset those in the other.
Some uncertainty developed in the
hide and leather markets, with con-
siderable decrease in the volume of
buying, and while there were no par
ticularly noticeable alterations in the
quotations Of either raw or finished
materials, pronounced strength in
some varieties contrasted with de-
cidedly weaker feeling in others.
There has been no decrease in the
firmness with which all kinds of iron
and steel are held, and new high prices
have been announced on several pro.
ducts, including pig iron, steel bars
and old materials. In the minor met
ais copper and tin were conspicuous
for substantial advances, while leae
and spelter were steady and antimony
very weak. Among other articles that
moved to higher level were. beans
peas, burlaps, coffee, dried fruits, jute
corn oil, linseed oil, paint materials
spices, rubber, potatoes and numerous
drugs and chemicals, these gains
however, being cnly partially offset by
moderate declines in hops, tupentint
and a few seasonable vegetables.

TO THE INHABITANTS
OF RAMSEY COUNTY

The draft or CONSUMPTION bill has
passed Congress, and it is now the su-
preme law of the land. By Proclama-
tion the President has fixed Tuesday,
the 5th day of June as the date of
registering, all male inhabitants be-
tween the ages cf 21 and 80 inclusive.
That is, those who on June 5th shall
be 21 years Of age and shall not have
reached their 31st birthday are re-
quired to register. Severe penalties
are provided by law against those who
do not. Each must register in the
precinct in which he resides. Aliens
as well as those who are citizens are
required to register Let there be no
mistake. The law casts on me the
duty of summoning you all. More
than that, must earnestly urge each
and every one 20 respond.
Remember it is all male inhabitants
who on June 5th coming shall be 21
and shall not have passed their 31st
birth day. Each precinct will be
checked up. Any inhabitants who are
subject to register, and do not, are liza
BILE to the penalties fixed by law which
are very serious. Again warn and
urge you to comply. I shall do my

All registering officers have been
appointed, some have volunteered to
act, and I sincerely hope that we have
used good judgment in the appoint
ment of all, and that they will perform
this important duty, not only as pa
triotic duty, but to the best interest
Of the Government. Let it be Under
stood that every citizen owes undi-
vided allegiance to this country, that
he is expected TO loyalty fulfill all OBJ
legations which citizenship and resi-
dence impose upon him, and that any
act, however slight, tending to give
aid and comfort TO your country Is q
patriotic duty, and duty which we
owe our Government.

ATLANTA GA. BURNED
Loss many MILLIONS

y Atlanta, Ca, May 21.-Fire, driven
by high wind and completely defy
ing all efforts to check it, has wiped
cut more than forty blocks Of Atlanta
residences and at $3.50 o'clock was
seemingly growing in intensity. Block
afttr block is being swept without him
.drance, one fine residence after anoth-
!, bing destroyed with most of the con-
tents.
One thousand men from the officers
training camp at Fort Mcpherson
have been called to help the city fire
department, AMI aid from other cities.
has also been sent fer.
The fire started in warehouse Sec
ton and negro district and swept
north from Decatur street, whipped by
a brisk wind.
In short time the fire got beyond
control and went rapidly into the
white residence section. As the flames
were swept forward by high wind
they ate northeastward, soon getting
as far as Auburn avenue. They had
crossed, Forest avenue at $3.50 o'clock
and were going toward Ponce de Leon
avenue, one of the best residence Sec
tions o fthe city.
Private automobile trucks by the
score were commandeered to gather
every foot of hose in the city. Block
after block was burning without any
thing. whatever being done to check
the flames.
This fire started when another in
West end, several miles away, was
burning six residences, and another
destroying fifteen small negro houses
in the Woodward avenue avenue sec
tions of the city.
The firemen made a stand on Boule-
ward place, two blocks from Ponce de
Leon avenue, and shortly after a o.
clock began dynamiting. Whether they
could clear q space wide enough to
check the flames seemed problementi-
cal, as early in the afternoon the fire
in some instances had jumped over
entire blocks.
At that hour the general direction Of
the fire still was north and along
Jackson street and boulevard. Aid
was asked from Macon, Chattanooga,
Augusta, Newman and Griffin.
Dynamiting did not prove entirely
successful and it was reported at 4:30
that the blaze had jumped across
Ponce de Leon avenue and was moving
on northeastward.

in the undertaking may look with
pride upon their efforts. Many prom
inent clergymen from over the state

and several of the local churches can
celled their services, in order that all
might join in this important event.
The church was filled to its capacity
both morning, afternoon and evening.

ing orators of the west, and he de-
livered a powerful sermon, which Was,

NANCIAL AGENT FOR
LINCOLN COUNTY

Governor Lindsey Tuesday
took the first step in putting in
TO operation a definite plan for
extending aid to farmers of
New Mexico, including their
crops, when he appointed 35 f.
nancial agents of the % counties
of the state, who will pass upon
all applications for assistance
and arrange for legal security
for all seed and provender pro-
vided. No money is to be furn-
ished any applicant, seed and
provender only coming thru the
financial agents. Chattel mort
cages covering crops and other
property, with notes of not to
exceed 8 months, with interest
at 6 percent, will secure the
state. Drafts in payment of
supplies will be drawn on the
state disbursing agent at Santa
Fe, with the o. K. of the county
financial agent, the note and
chattel mortgage of the farmer
attached to each.
The plan, as adopted by the
governor and defense council,
calls for the active cooperation
of the wholesale grocers' asso-
citation in the purchase and dis
tribution of seed. The governor,
after consultation, abandoned
his plan for the incorporation OF
county organizations.
George l.. Ulrick, of Carrizozo,

CAMPFIRE GIRLS AND
SCOUTS TO BE ORGA-
NIZED THIS SUMMER

The last meeting of the Pa
irons Club for the school year
just closing, held at the Meth
odist church Monday n light
proved the most interesting and
profitable yet held and was char
acterized by a very satisfactory
attendance. Superintendent Nc
Curdy gave a brief resume of
the years work and discussed in
an interesting manner plans for
the future. He also discussed
plans for the new highschool
building and seemed to think
that a structure along the line of
the highschool building at Alamo
gordo with exception of differ
ent front would be best suited to
Carrizozo's needs, it being built
along thoroughly modern lines.
Summer work for the girls
was the subject taken and ably
discussed by Mrs. w. L. Gumm
in which she outlined plans for
organization of troops of camp
fire girls which should prove a
very interesting pastime for the
summer. Summer work for boys
was also discussed. A number
of volunteers for Camp Fire Girls
and Scouts were received for
summer parties.
A piano duet by the Misses
Margie and Allie Branum and a
piano solo by Mrs. T. L. Kelley
were we'll rendered and elected
many words of praise from the
audience.
