SIERRA COUNTY BANK
SHOWS PATRIOTISM
oFFERsa REGULAR ADVERTISING
SPACE FOR USE Bv NEW MEEK.
co COUNCIL OF STATE DEFENSE

An important means OF increasing
usefulness and displaying patriotism
has been developed by the Sierrs
county bank, which 10 located a,
Hillsboro. This institution has mott
fed the New Mexico Council Of Do
Tense that II will be glad to use its
regular advertising space in the local
newspapers for messages and appeals
from the Council OF Defense. In com
pliance with this announcement, the
Council Of Defense has prepared an ad
vertisement which is In conformity
with the statements which are being
sent out from national headquarters
particularly as to food conservation
and the elimination OF waste, as well
as a greatly increased production OF
foodstuffs.
1t is announced at state headquar'
tersthat 80 far as the publicity depart
ment OF the council has any record,
this is the first advertisement Of the
kind that has been authorized by any
bank or other corporation in New
Mexico. In the sale Of the liberty
bonds and the making up of the enor'
nous subscription for the Red Cross,
banks and other corporations and
firms, and even individuals, were buy.
ers of large amounts of newspaper
space, In order to assist the govern.
ment in making an unqualified sue
cess of the big ventures; but the
Sierra county bank is the first n to
offer to carry an advertisement regu,
larly, to deal with general prepared
ness and other necessary war meas
ures.
The Council of Defense will refer
this case to all the banks Of New Mex
leo. These banks have been liberal
and energetic in their efforts to as
sist in carrying out the plans of the
council, and there is a strong posi-
bility that a number of them will be
glad to assist further in educating
the public up to the matters which
are necessary to win the war.

DIPLOMAS sent
TO SUPERINTENDENT
FOR 9TH GRADERS
poEs NOT INCLUDE IN.
coRPoRATED CITIES AND
TOWNS GRADUATES IN SANTA
FE COUNTY

The State. department Of education
today, completed the mailing Of 1862
diplomas TO the various county school
superintendents of the state, certify
ing graduation OF that number Of pu-
pills from the eighth grade work OF
New Mexico rural schools during the
past school year. The Importance Of
this number of eighth grade graduates
will be appreciated when 1t is stated
that II does not include any of the
incorporated cities and towns. Eighth
grade graduates in these latter
will bring the total number for the
past school year to over 1900. This
means that 1900, boys and girls are
ready to enter New Mexico high
school work in September, and the de-
partment of education and county and
local school authorities are making a
concerted effort to induce every boy
and girl who possibly can do SO to 60
forward with the high school course.
In former years the state depart
ment of education has issued a little
printed slip certifying that the
student has completed eighth grade
work. State School superintendent
Wagner, however, believes that more
definite recognition should be given
completion Of the eighth grade. par.
ticularly in the rural schools. He has
had prepared and is issuing this year
for the first time, handsome litho.
graphed diplomas to each eighth
grade graduate. The diploma. after
being signed by the state superintend.
.ent goes to the county school super.
%intendent who affixes his signature
and sends it on to the teacher for
signature and delivery to the student.
That the new diploma is appreciated
by the eighth grade graduates Is
shown by applications to the depart
ment to change the old certificates
used In the past into the more elab-
crate diploma.

On F00DsTOFFS AND

|oovERNoR coNFERs WITH, FIRE
UNDERWRITERS AND STATE
DEFENSE C0uNcik WILL CO.
OPERATE IN CAMPAIGN

Preliminary steps for state cam
paign that will have as It's object the
reduction OF fire hazards in connec-
tion with f00detufrs and other supplies
essential in the prosecution OF che
present war, were taken at q confer
ence in the executive office this morn
ing between Governor Lindsey and w.
N. Sage and James II. Joseph, OF Chi
cag0, and F. @. White, Of Denver,
members Of the Chicago advisory
committee of the national board OF
fire underwriters. A plan THAT Is now
being put into effect throughout the
United States was outlined to Cover
0 Lindsey, and received his hearty
approval, and in the proposed cam.
paign the state government and the
council Of defense will cooperate to
every extent possible.
Jas explained by Mr.. Sage this
morning, the primary and sole aim
Of the campaign Is to conserve the
resources of the country, especially
those resources which are essential
for the successful carrying on OF the
war" and in New Mexico the effort
will be to reduce the danger Of de-
struction by fire Of flour mills, eleva-
tors and all other food supply reposi.
food manufacturing establish.
ments, coal properties. sawmillB and
wool warehouses. In Denver, on last
the Conservation Association
OF Colorado, New Mexico and Wyo-
ming was organized, with o member
ship of 90 underwriters in the three
and NH. White was elected
chairman of an executive committee
eight. He will now divide New
Mexico into districts and assign an in-
spector for each district, whose du-
ties will be to inspect plants and
make recommendations. Copies Of
the recommendations made will be
sent to the governor and the coun-
ell Of defense, and in the event owners
of plants refuse to reduce fire 1laz-
ards, the government probably will
steps to compel them to do so.
The service of inspection will be
free. In several eastern states the in
spectors have been commissioned as
state agents and this plan may be fol-
lowed by Governor Lindsey.
In this branch Of national conser-
the underwriters are not acting
as insurance men, but simply as ex-
in the work OF preventing fire
losses. Their offer Of assistance was
gladly accepted by the national coun-
Gil of defense, on the ground that a
patriotic and highly important service
was contemplated.

Washington, December 2S.-The federal
farm loan board announced today that
IL advocates amendment to the farm
mortgage bankers may enter the gov
eminent system as joint stock land
banks. At the same time the board also
gave warning that is expects interests
seeking to break down the system to
file q suit soon to test the constitu-
tionality Of the act
Amendments to the existing law which
will be specifically recommended to Con-
gress in the boards forthcoming annual
report, are:
TO remove the present restriction per-
hitting joint stock land bank to do
business only in the state where it is
situated and one contiguous state;
To permit a bank to issue bonds to the
amount of 20 times its capital stock,
which must be $4,000 or more, instead
of Is times, as under existing law; and,
To raise from to 6ta per cent the
maximum interest rate which joint stock
land banks may charge on loans to
farmers.
All these amendments have been
sought by the Farm Mortgage Bankers
association, whose leaders predicted
that a large proportion of the members
would seek government charters and OPP
crate under supervision of the farm loan
board if the notifications were made.
Their plea to be allowed to use the
name National Land Bank" instead Of
Joint Stock Land Bank" has not been
received favorably by the board. owing
to the of confusing the private insti-
tutions with the governments Il fedora
land banks.
Joint stock land banks would still be
compelled to limit interest rates or
loans to within / per cent more thar
