National office within the next few
days. Fund officers report satisfac-
tory progress being made in the
campaign to interest New Mexico's
inhabitants in this worthy work and
contributions are arriving every
mail.
The Pueblo Indians attending gov
ernment schools, last week made a
generous donation to the fund.
Amounts ranging from nickle to
good sized checks were subscribed
through the active interest of Mr..
p. T. Lonergan, superintendent of
Pueblo Day Schools, and the grand
total of $l04s0 was turned over to
the secretary by Mr.. Lonergan. The
greater part CT this sum was sub
scribed by the Indian scholars; the
balance coming from teachers and
other employees.
Governor Lindsey has decided to
designate by proclamation certain
Sunday, to be known as Belgian
Relief Offering Sunday" upon
which date. a special appeal will
be made to the members of the
churches throughout the State to as
sist in this worthy cause. Pastors
and heads of the various domina-

FAMOUS MEXICAN GENERAL
QUIETLY VISITS THIS CITY

General Juan N. Medina, one oi
the most famous Mexican Command.
e-s of the revolution, was quietly
visiting in this city during the week
being guest of Prof. c. Padilla
who at one time was associated with
him in a diplomatic mission to
Washington. General Medina was
Villa commander at Torreon in 1915
established the principle in Mexico
that soldier of today was a work
er and business man and put il
into practice by opening up the
manufacturing establishments of his
district with soldiers, gave foreign
residents actual protection, refused
to billet his men on the inhabi-
tants of the cities but sought his
enemy in the open, and when or
dered to evacuate his district to a
superior enemy he organized the
population for self government and
turned the entire district over with
out blooshed or disorder.
He says the Mexican people will
never enter into any German al
lance, no matter what the leaders
attempt to do; that Villa is bitterly
opposed to any such alliance, and
that when he gets an opportunity
to secure his official correspondence,
now hidden in Mexico, that he can
prove that his commander was al
ways trying to give all foreigners
full protection, but that subordinate
commanders did not always control
their men and carry out their or
their soldiers.

PECOS VALLEY FRUIT IS
DAMAGED ONLY IN SPOTS

w. A. Nicholas of the Merchants
Fruit company and ]. R. Whitley, an
experienced apple man of the valley
made a very thorough inspection
of a number of orchards east and
southeast of the city in order to
form some estimate of the damage
done by Sunday nights freeze. Ac-
cording to these gentlemen, the dam
aged orchards appear in spots, and in
many of the orchards there is appar-
emily no damaged fruit, while in 9TH
ers there appears to be partial dam
age. Wherever the orchards were
smudged, the damage was very slight,
IL any. Also several varieties appear
ed to emerge without any damage
whatsoever, while others in the same
orchard were almost totally destroy
ed The gentleman last mentioned
when asked as to his estimate of
the damage done from his own per.
senal observations and the reports
of orchardmen generally over the
valley, stated that his prediction was
for . 50 per cent apple crop If no.
thing happens in the future to furth.

WILLIAM RAINEY BENNETT
WILL BE AT CHAUTAUOUA

William Rainey Bennett, accord
ing to a Columbia, South Carolina
paper, looks like Bryan, talks like
Roosevelt and is a second Billy
Sunday.
Mr.. Bennett is the foremost ins-
irrational lecturer in America to-
day. If you expect to hear a long,
dry discourse, don't hear him. If
you want to sleep, Don't hear him.
For Bennett is snappy, forceful, alive
and energetic. His talk is brimful
OF humor and will keep his audience
on tie edge Of their seats the entire
evening.
BeEnctt has a strong delivery and
never fails to clinch his arguments
with sledgehammer blows.
Some of the more striking epi-
grams from Benefits lecture "The
Man Who Can" are as follows:
"Your health is your bank account.
Don't overdraw it.
81 would like an audience of the
boys who are in the pool rooms
tonight.
l would like to get something into
their heads besides ivory. I don't
object to playing pool, but I would
like to give the young fellows some
thing to think about"
"Some men are down 90 low every
move they make 10 up~.

JACK FROST DOES MUCH
DAMAGED IN HIGH SECTIONS

May storm which has done wide
spread damage to fruit, while God
send to the stockmen and farmers
has left a foot and more of snow
on the mountains of New Mexico
Killing frosts have visited nearly
every fruit section, although Sar
Juan county reports large percent
age of that belt safe. Cherries,
plumbs and early garden truck suf'
fered in the Pecos valley.
Around Santa Fe, practically all
the fruit was killed. While sheep.
men suffered heavily, many declare
they would have lost nearly all il
the prolonged drouth had not been
broken. The storm was general over
the state for three days, and has
greatly improved the agricultural
prospects.

HOW A VERY SMALL WASTE
RUNS INTO BIG FIGURES

Washington, May 9.-An ounce oi
edible meat-lean meat, fat and lean
suet or fat trimmed from steak,
chop, or roast--seems hardly worth
saving.
Many households take just this
view of the matter-do not trouble
to put such an insignificant scrap
into the ice box or soup pot-do
not bother to save for cookery a
spoonful Or two of drippings or a
tiny bit of suet or fat.
Yet if everyone of our 100000
American families on the average
wastes each day only one ounce of
edible meat or fat, it means a daily
waste Of 1,250,000 pounds of animal
food-456, 100000 pounds of valuable
animal food a year.
At average dressed weights, it
would take the gross weight of over
$4,000 steers, or over 100000 hogs
bones and all to provide this weight
of meat or fat for each garbage
pail or kitchen sink. If the bones
and butchers waste are eliminated
these figures would be increased to
1.15OOOO cattle and 3,70O,OOO hogs.
Or, again, If the waste were dis
tributed according to the per capita
consumption of the various meats
Excluding bones), it would use up a
combined herd of over $4,000 beef
animals, 29l, 900 calves, over $4,000
sheep and lambs, and over 2,132, 900
hogs.
Millions of tons of feed and hay,
the grass from vast pastures and the
labor of armies of cattlemen and
butchers also would be scrapped by
this meat-waste route.
But every household doesn't
waste an ounce of meat or fat ev-
cry day? Very well-make it one
out of a hundred families, but keep
in mind that all meat allowed to
spoil and all meat and fat rendered
inedible by improper cooking,
scorching or burning must be count
ed as waste. Make it an ounce ev-
cry other day or one a month. Such
waste still would be uncomfortable
when meat is scarce and when fat
is of such vital food importance to
many nations.
Waste of meat or fat is inexcus-
able. Every bit of lean meat can
be used in soups, stews, or in COM
bi1atio1 with cereals; every spoon.
fu. of fat can be employed in cook
cry; every bit of drippings and gra-
Wy can be saved so easily and used
to add flavor and nourishment to
other dishes.
The L. s. Department of Agri-
culture, Washington, d. C., or your
State Agricultural College will tell
you how to use bits Of meat to make
appetixing and nutritious dishes and
how to use left over fat In co.,
cry.

to be had at any price in any known
market to care for the promising
potato land now offered. The bean
situation, is somewhat better, as a
number of cars of beans have been
secured and large quantities are be-
ing negotiated for from outside
dealers.
1t is believed that the only diff
Guilty to be expected in securing sor-
gum seed is that the price will be a
little stiff The sorgums are con-
sidcred to be sure feed crops in this
stat: and it is understood that the
agricultural college will urge the
planting of large acreage. Other
crops will be encouraged, particular
ly corn, which is valuable both as
food and feed, men and animal doing
equally we'll on it. Several cars Of
good seed will be secured at once,
and it may be that a train load will
be brought in if the land is in sight.
The next great problem is that
of labor. Already calls for labor
come from every section of the state,
and it seems to be up to the Council
to supply it. The more extended
use of modern machinery would as
sist in overcoming the labor diff
culties. but farm machinery is as
hard to get as seed beans and po-
tatoes. and then comes the matter
OF getting experienced men to run
the machines, particularly tractors.
1t is possible that the automobile
drivers will be induced to handle
tractors all this summer, which is
one way of meeting the demand for
ski led tractor men.
The members of the Council ex-
pect TO have the affairs of the state
working so smoothly by tonight, that
a few days off next week to look

AUDIENCE FORCETS
THE FOOTLlCHTS

The first production of the Opera
III. NJ. s. Pinaforc" for this sea-
son by the company presenting it
at the Redpath-Horner Chautauqua,
was at FL Paso, Texas. Concerning
it The Morning Times says:
Colbert and Sullivan's classic CO.
mic opera, presented last night nv
the New York Light Opera COM
pany, held the attention of the audi
en- Z every minute through the .wo
acts. At the close there was an
outburst of pent-up enthusiasm and
the curtain rose again long enough
for "his sisters and his cousins and
tl C closing stanza.
"If II. M. S. Pinafore ever grows
old and tiresome it will be when
troups like the New York Light
Opera company cease to carry it
around the country in their 'epc-.
toirs if one NAV take the effect
produced last night as a criterion.
The scenery is good and the singers,
including the chorus, have good vol
ces and put a delightful interpreta-
ticn upon the lines.
Marjorie P-irple, in the role of
Josephine, made friends with the au-
dience from the start. Alice Nc
Comb, as Hebe. is also good, while
Marie Horgan, as Little ButtercIp.
is simply charming.
"Ar,hur Pacic Ripple, as Sir JOS
e2p is typical Englishman. Two
particularly strong and we'll trained
voices are those of Harry Luck
stone. who sings the lines of Cap
tam Ccrco.:n, and ]. Humbird Duff
fy. who sings those of Ralph Racl:-
straw tire top nan. William Sell
lery. as Dick Deadeye, puts breeze
of the genuine sea salt into the
atmosphere, and all but rocks the
ship as he rolls sailor-like, along
the ropes and rigging.
The company presents the opera
l., thoroughly refreshing minr,-.
and puts human interest and new
phases into the lines in a way that
one almost forgets that there are
footlights between the players and
the audience"

BLANCETT IS GIVEN
YEAR MORE OF LIFE

f. w. Blancett, convicted Of the
murder OF Clyde Armour and sent
enced by Judge z. c. Abbott in the
district court to be hanged on June
8, will probably have at least
years further lease OF life. After
overuling motion for new trial,
the court granted an appeal to the
supreme court and stay of cx-
ecution.
1t is believed it may be twelve
months before his fate is finally set
tied. Blancett, when called up to be
sentenced simply stated that he was
not guilty of the crime and believed
he had not received a fair trial,
owing to the alleged demonstrations
in the court room.
