with their grain ration. The amount
Of grain to be fed at this time should
be governed by the condition and APP
petite Of the pigs. No definite amount
may be given that will always prove
correct; the test Of a feeder is his abilr
ity to observe closely and make
changes as the pigs require them. The
hog grower should never forget that
sanitation and freedom from disease
and lice are important factors. Fur
ther, the hogs that top the market are
generally produced under very careful
management and have been crowded
from weaving time until they are
placed on the market as finished
products.
Again, we wish to state that good
physical condition, freedom from dis
and lice. and proper care and
feeding; combined with type quality,
and desirable conformation, are the
fundamental principles which every
hog breeder must learn and appreciate
before he will make a success at the.

Patriotic Training
Not Lacking In
New Mexico Schools

Neither patriotic sentiment nor pa,
Itriotic training is lacking in the
rural schools of New Mexico. This ia
state department of education from a
study now being made in the depart
'ment of the o~bservances in the coun'
try schools last February Of the
birthdays of Washington and Lin
coin. Believing That the times called
for special effort to encourage pa
triotic feeling among the boys and
girls of the state, Superintendent
Wagner early last winter had prepar-
ed printed specimen programs and
suggestions to teachers for exercises
suited to the two occasions. These
were sent TO every rural school
teacher in the state and with them
were sent postcards asking for infor-
nation as to the exercises held, num-
Der and grade of the pupils taking
part, number of visitors and other
facts.
Two hundred and forty-one rural
schools reported on their celebrations,
a large majority combining the two
occasions in a single program, A
total of 9757 pupils, about evenly IL
vided between boys and girls and rep
resentating all the primary and
grammar grades, took part in these
exercises, giving a total Of 47S2 pro-
gram numbers. These latter included
readings, recitations, dialogues, pa
plays, flag drills, flag raisings
and other patriotic exercises n
were Witnessed by a total of 11,l0J
visitors to the schools. Quite a num-
Der of schools reported that they were
to have visitors on account OF
the crowded condition of the school
1t is believed that quite q
number of teachers failed to report
their exercises, either through neg
lect or modesty as to the simplicity
Of their programs. The department
proposes to make an effort TO double
the number of these patriotic DID,
seryances next winter and to that end
carefully prepared program sugi
gestions are now being worked out.

restrain them from "diverting and u.s.

HOPE OF LIFE FOR JULIAN Ro-
NERO; CONCENTRATES END
~ CALMLY

Las Vegas, N. M, July 17.-It was
stated that the gallows upon which
Julian Romero will be hanged Friday,
July 20, will likely be completed today.
Though 1t Is known that several of
Romero's friends are in Santa Fe at
present, attempting to present a petit
ton to Governor Lindsey, asking that
he commute Romero's sentence to life
Imprisonment, no word has been re-
ceived here as to Governor Lindsey's
attitude.
1t was rumored today that money
is being raised in Upper Las Vegas
ERomero's home-to appeal his case
to the supreme court. District Attor-
ney Chester A. Hunker stated this
morning that no appeal can be taken,
in his opinion. After consulting the
state statutes regarding the appeal of
criminal cases, he said that the appeal
must be taken during the term of
court in which the case is tried, and
as the June term of court has adj
journed, there evidently can be no ap-
peal, and the only chance for Romero's
life will be for Governor Lindsey to
commute his sentence.
Chief Deputy Sheriff Felipe Lopez
saw Romero yesterday. The doomed
appeared to be calm and self
possessed, and said that he is ready
to pay the penalty of death for his act.
Father Badland, parish priest, visits
Romero often, and Mrs. Romero, the
aged mother of the convicted MUIR
derer, calls at the Jail every day. Ro-
nero was convicted on June Is, for
the murder Of Mrs. Demetrio Jaure, at
Upper Las Vegas on the night of May
70. He was sentenced by District
Judge Leahy, on June 20, to hang, be-
tween the hours of 0 o'clock a. m. and

yard of the county Jail.

AT the close Of the wonderfully sue

congratulation for your splendidly eff
work. On reflection, however,

would be more economical, and
satisfactory, to write to- you
instead of telegraphing.
We of the war council are deeply
grateful to you, to your colleagues, to

and to every element and individual
in your community who aided by

There is no method by which we

whose united effort has provided this
fund for humanity, and II
your press and by other
means you can make public express

appreciate the courtesy. Their joint

I wish to add personal thanks to
you, and through you, to all who con-
to the splendid result.
Very Sincerely yours,

Albuquerque, N. NJ, July 16.-Witl
the statement that he regards 1t o.
the most important recognition til,
University of New Mexico has ever re
ceived, President David r. Boyd toda,
made public the following letter from
Augustus S. Downing, assistant com
missioner for higher education Of New
York:
THE UNIVERSITY OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK
State Department of Education
Albany N. Y.
President David r. Boyd,
University Of New Mexico,
Albuquerque, N. M.
Dear Sir:
1 have pleasure in advising you
that the board of regents, at its
meeting held June rs, formally
registered the following degrees
of the University as meeting our
requirements Of the Court Of APP
peals:
b. A., B. s., B. Ped.
This means that q person hold
: ing either degree is entitled to a
remission of one year in the study
Of law.
Yours very truly,
AUGUSTUS S. DOWNING,
Assistant Commissioner For
Higher Education.
While receipt of this recognition had
been anticipated the university author
tiles are none the less pleased that it
has actually been conferred. mot
only do we regard 1t as the most i'm
p~ortant recognition the state univer-
sity has eve received" said DR.. Boyd,
but 1t is a recognition as well OF a
healthy advance in standards Of the
entire educational system of the state.
It's chief importance to the state, next
10 the recognition given of the char
of the work being done here, is
that it removes one more of the e
most often advanced for sending
New Mexico young men and women to
eastern universities. The University
Of New Mexico Is now on the same
as The older colleges Of the east,
Is regards admission Of graduates to
schools In New York
state, and this recognition in New
York state means practically the same
recognition for our degrees all over
he country. In future no undergradu-
tie need fear to take his degree from
his university, since he will make the
jame gains in standing and time in en-
jering his professional school as If he
lad graduated at one of the eastern
Universities"
The recognition by the educational
authorities of New York state is but
me of several evidences which have
'ome to the University Of New Mexico
luring the past year that it's standards
re now accepted as the equal of the
,est of the state universities. For
ONE time now its credits have been
.ccepted in all universities as of face
'alue, and permitting the undergradu-
tie student to continue his work with
ut interruption or examination, no
to what college he might turn.
Mere is reason to believe that but for
he European war the state university
would now be In a position to seek rec
gnition Of its degrees in both aca-
emic and professional education in
he great universities of Europe, when
he war ends and the readjustments of
relationships of educational institu-
ions occur, the state university will
g ready to participate.
