PROGRESS During The Year

We should not let the war in
terfere with what might be
termed domestic thinking"
We shouldn't forget that there are
problems in New Mexico and in
Lordsburg that the war will not
solve. These remain with us
until attended to with the proper
application of grey matter; and
we must keep our minds at work
upon them until they are finished
The present year is one of the
most important politically in the
history of the nation. Ten state
constitutions are TO be made over
this year and during the first
half of 1918. The states so af-
fected are Massachusetts, lndi-
ana. Arkansas, Illinois, New
Hampshire, Washington. North
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and
North Dakota.
The people in these states, at
least, should have something to
think about besides the war.
And in other states Of the uni
on there are various lesser prob
lens that require clear thinking
and efficient action; and in the
cities and towns war lethargy"
as to local Improvements must
not get possession of the people.
Locally, Lordsburg should pro-
gress as If no war were on hand.
Nothing, not even war should
be permitted to hold hack our
tOwu.

81 GIVES A BIG
TURKEY DINNER

81 Rubbins gave a big turkey
dinner at his home west of the
rail pile last Monday. It was a
foggy day. and about IL O'Clock
81 saw a big gobbler in his front
yard, which had strayed over
from Postum Ford and didn't
know its way back home. The
bird looked so lean and hungry
that 81 took pity on it and de-
cided to end its suffering. He
ran back into the house, brought
out a sharp hachet,- hunted up a
big block of wood, chopped up
three ears Of corn, and gave
the big turkey dinner. The bird
ate heartily, and 81 is all swelled
out over the incident. He says
the president of the United
States isn't the only chap on this
planet who can give a turkey
dinner. We say: Three cheers
for 81 Rubbins.

MINES AND MONEY

Men in Lordsburg who have
been interested in mines have
got theirs"
One Lordsburg man who held
a batch of copper stock for eight
years says he despared of ever
getting his money back until
Just recently, when the price
went far above what he paid for
the stock and he 'let go" at a
handsome profit.
Similar conditions apply to
other minerals. They have been
in such demand that local stock
holders Of stock---be they many
or few---don't feel that they
made a mistake when they
bought them.
The question is, will the prices
of minerals ever return to the
former levels?
Like in a horse race, here is a
point where opinion will be divid-
ed, and its a case of produce your
money and take your choice.
Those who think prices will
never return to the old level will
naturally back up their opinion
with their money; the contrary
will liquidate, or has already done
so.
Anyhow, the time when a man
with a bunch of mineral stocks
in his hand went into a cigar
store and offered to trade the
bunch of paper for a good mine
is over never to return.

The Red Gross and Lordsburn

Lordsburg is a friend of the
Red Cross. 1t is a friend of any
endeavor that has for its object
the alienation of suffering.
There is not a member of the
red cross in every family in
Lordsburg. however, which near
ly is the case in some other coun-
tries where this work has been
in the past more effectively plac-
ed before the public eye.
The Red Cross is an indepedent
organization backed by the gov
eminent. The president of the
United States is head of the
American Red Cross. But the
fact that the government gives
the institution it's moral support
does not mean that it lends fnan-
cial support. .
This is the peculiar situation:
The government appropriates
millions---nay. billions---to carry
on war, but appropriates nothing
to an institution like the Red
Cross, which is designated to
ALLEVIATE suffering caused by war.
The government should not
only back the war with arms and
money. but also back the noble
organization that looks after its
soldiers when sick and wounded
with money, not mere moral sup
port.

MlcheIin Mans lire Hints

A man came in here the other
day, said MIR. Fitzpatrick of the
Lordsburg Auto Co., who had
driven his car several miles on
the rim, a tire having been
punctured some distance from
town. The walls of the casing
were scored and scraped, while
the fabric, which was torn and
frayed, was broken away from
the rubber, and the beads were
badly damaged. All this trouble
was causrd by the squeezing of
the casing between the edges of
the rim and the ground. Inside
the casing. small irregular shap-
ed pieces of the tube were adj
herring to the fabric All these
evidences of abuse were conclu-
sive proof that both casing and
tube were badly injured if not
ruined beyond repair. All things
considered, it's expensive bust
ness, travelling on debated tires.
And it is far cheaper. Mr.. Fitz-
patrick states. to carry a spare
casing. He urges every motor
ist to read a good instruction
book on the care of tires, such a
book for example as that issued
by the Michelin Tire Company.
