SANTA f IS PLANNING
IMPROVEMENTS IN CLOVIS

The Santa Fc has recently completed
an Improvement AT the shops that GER
tainly ought to meet with Mr.. llnoyer'S
or most anybOdy's conservation ideas.
Getting enough water has been II prob.
lem at the shops for, several months
on account of the increased amount u.
work that is handled here. For II
while the Santa Fe tried the plan Of
buying water from the city's big well
here hut now they have hit upon II
more economical plan. Large cement
reservoirs have been built just south
of the power house and into these the
water that has been used for washing
out boilers. etc, is run. This water h
filtered and purified and pumped into
the >taudppr and used again, This
waste water heretofore has been car
ried of hy the sewer aud il can easily
be seen what u vast amount of saving
in water this new improvement will
make.

Not everybody can go to the
front in France to fight for his
country. Everybody unable to

MONEY.

Seems to me it's rather funny
how the good old L. S. money is
regarded in a thousand different
ways. Some folks spend it all for
pleasure, others hoard it as a
treasure, while others save and
spend it in relays. Now, some
folks will spend their money with
a disposition sunny. while some
mortals pinch the eagle till it
screams. Though we like to save
and spend it, yet we really hate
to lend it folks forget to pay

TUBERCULAR SANATORIA
FOR COLORED PEOPLE

Hon. John Walter Smith and
U. $. District Attorney Samuel
X. Dennis have asked Gov Har-
rington to include in his budget
800, 600 for building and equip
ing a State sanatoria for colored
tubercuIar patients and $50, 600
for maintenance for the fiscal
year beginning October /, 1917.
The request went to the Cover
nor in the form OF a letter, which
also called his attention to the
fact that nearly one-third of the
tubercular deaths IN the State are
among colored people. showing
that the disease is twice as prev
alent among that race as among
the whites.
Senator Smith is so deeply in
terested in the curing of tuber-
cular patients or doing everything
that is possible to prolongth the life
Of those afflicted with the disease,
that he is always on the alert to
obtain for them the best the State
can give.

We wish every reader of The

e know that the world is full
{ trouble. and that for Americans
rouble is just beginning. Let us
not hasten its coming by drawing
'om the wells of our imagination,
but let us remember that a Savior
has been born. and that We are
lbout to celebrate His birth with
md thanksgiving As the
Wise Men of old carried gifts to
the Savior, so let us remember
those who are near and dear to
to US, our friends, and those who
are poor and are unable to pro-
byide themselves with the neceS-
sites of life.
The editors of The Messenger
FEEL they have received very
many blessings since last Christ
mas-time, which should bring
from them desire to help others
te enjoy life more. and especially
during this Christmas holiday
season. therefore we shall give
our employees as much time next
week in which to enjoy them
selves as it is possible for US to
do. Our paper will come out as
usual, but the issue will probably
lot come up to the standard, be-
ause of a lack of time.
We hope all OF our advertisers
patrons have enjoyed a good
lay trade and that now, they
will enjoy the holidays.
