Leonard Should Have Easy Time
 Defending Title.

Wonder whose going to come along and take the title away from Bennie Leonard. For the time be- ing Bennie looks pretty safe as the field seems clear, but one can never tell what obscure boxer will arise and down the present champion. In his last fight at the Harlem Sport ing Club in New York, Leonard just sort of toyed with Johnny Nell son of Philadelphia. The perform ance, lasting three rounds, might have been curtailed for Nelson had absolutely no chance. It was just slaughter and even the fight fans, who like to get their moneys worth, thought well of the referee for stop ping the bout. Bennie didn't get a scratch and has been just taking it easy ever since.

>IRAP - w%zl FIELD E4

SeaSonable sports come and go with their respective seasons, but the trap game goes on forever, and 365 days year at that.
 When Thanksgiving rolls around football follows baseball into the dis card, and tennis, golf, ct al, reach the vanishing point close on the heels of football-yet trapshooting being the "fittest," survives, this for the double reason that clay target shooting is no more hampered by weather conditions than is field shooting at live birds, and, too, be- cause several hundred thousand red blooded Americans require something bit more strenuous and exciting than checkers, pinochle and other indoor games.
 Time was when country club ac- tivities languished during the winter months and yacht clubs boarded up their clubhouses until after the spring thaw; now, when snow or slush lies deep on the glof links, the lure of the traps draws erstwhile golfers to the club grounds to enjoy the shoot in game, while across the distant meadows come the popping reports of shotguns as yachtsmen blaze away at the flying saucers skimming away above the frozen river
 In short, trapshooting not only holds country club and yatcht club together during the cold days, but actually recruits addi- tional strength from the numbers of ountdoor devotees drawn to the clubs by the fascination of the scatter-gun sport.

"He is coming here under the auspices of the French govern ment and will give exhibition bouts in all the principal cities. In addi- ton Carpentier, who has brought doyn five German machines and twice has been wounded, will show some official war films depicting the work of the French army flying corps and the hairbreadth escapes of come of their pilots from death.
 "The object of the French govern ment in sending Carpenter to the U. 8. is to attract young Am orleans to enlist in the Flying Corps Iof the French army, which needs all the young blood it can get. The entire proceeds will be devoted to French charitable objects. and the construction of aeroplanes." Mr. Klegin add.

A BIG HOG RANCH
IN M|MbRES VALLEY
Justin Ashton, President Of the Ma
tlonaI Hog Company Of Pitts
burg, Establishes Big Ranch
ONE THOUSAND HOGS TO START
Five Of the Finest Bred Durock Jer-
seys In United States Now Here
to Improve the Herd of hogs

The Graphic is very proud to have
its opinion of hog raising in the
Mimbres Valley approved by such Il
distinguished breeder and grower of
The finest grade of swine in America,
come right here and establish hog
farm that will be second to none in
the southwest.
The distinguished gentleman refer
red to is no less than justin Ashton,
president of the National Hog com
pany of Pttsburg, Pa, who recently
purchased of c. Ii. Hon section OF
land, few miles east of Deming
and has already commenced what
will he the most important hog farm
in this entire region. He is already
established with one thousand head
or over and during the past few days
has received from the east five reg
istered boars of the Duroc Jersey
breed, three of them being sons of
the $4,000 boar Defender One of
them is of the Orion breed, known a.
the Ohio Chief. and il is the intention
of Mr.. Ashton, cooperating with Mr..
Hon and his associates. to bring the
breed up to the very highest point, as
climatic conditions and the health
conditions are not surpassed in any
region in the United States.
Mr. Ashton is putting in a so hip.
plant for the cultivation of alfalfa.
kaffir corn, barley and peas, which
will be the main things used in the
hoe farm rs feed. There is no
doiibt a. 10 the Success Of the ven
tnfe, nor is there any doubt as to the
wisdom of President Ashton in Sc
lecting the Mimbres Valley as the
field for great operations.
There is little doubt in the writer
mind that during the next few years
this great valley will be one of the
chief pork raising regions in Amer
lea, as our market conditions here
are unsurpassed, and the profits in
this industry are very attractive and
are bound to be more and more so
when people appreciate how easily
hogs can be raised and how little
trouble il is to care for a large num-
her by following the methods that
can be learned by any intelligent
farmer in one season.

incident concerning the Baptists,
