you may resolve that you will de
vote your highest energies to thu
development of your boys anC
girls-encouraging them to exec
at school and at home. in corr
club and canning club work, get.
ting them interested in raising
good crops and breeding fine
stock and in building worthy
characters.
Last but not least, you may
resolve that you will let no one
excel you in the contribution you
make to community development.
Whatever thing of a bushes
character a man may resolve to
excel in, he should not forget to
make his contribution to the
general advance of civilization in
his section.
Said the poet long ago;
mot enjoyment and not sor-
row,
Is our destined end or way,
But to live that each tomorrow
Finds US farther than today"
In what respect will the end of
1017 find you farther than the
end of 1915, 1t all depends, un.
der God, upon the set and drive
of your will. A ship without a
rudder drifts, and "a man with
out a purpose is like a ship with
out a rudder."
Resolve now in what things
you sternly purpose to excel in
1917, and by so doing give the
drive and the set to your life in
the New Year-the drive and set
toward whatever far-off ideal
you would like to achieve.

IN WHAT THINGS WILL YOU Be A LEADER
IN 1917?

We believe one of the best re-
solutions any farmer can make
is this; Il am going to be in
some one respect at least the
best farmer in my neighborhood
in 1917"
1t doesn't matter so much what
you resolve you will excel in.
The most important thing is the
effort.
You may resolve that you are
going to have the best cattle in
the community. or the best hogs,
or the best horses, or the best
poultry-yard, or the finest corn
field, or the prize garden, or the
prettiest field of clover, or the
most fruitful orchard. Or you
may resolve that you are going
to have the prettiest home or
the best equipped home.
Or perhaps your ambition may
take a less tangible form. You
may resolve that no one else
shall improve faster in acquiring
knowledge of scientific farming;
that you will utilize every oppor-
tunity to study books. bulletins.
and papers. and to attend insti-
tutes, short courses, and farm
ers' conventions. Or you may
decide that you are going to be
the best business farmer in your
section keeping accounts. study
ing markets. the preparation of
things for market, and arrang-
ing for cooperative grading. ship

Summer Complaint.

During the hot weather of the summer months some member of almost every family is likely to be troubled with an unnatural looseness of the bowels, and it is of the greatest importance that this be treated promptly, which can only be done when the medi- cine is kept at hand. Mrs. F. F. Scott, Scottsville, N, Y. states, 'T first used Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy as much five years ago. At that time had a severe attack of summer com plaint and was suffering intense pain. One dose relieved me. Other members of my family have since used it with like re- sults."

Queer Logic From Men.

 The above is an editorial taken from a Kingman newspaper, Our Mineral Wealth.
 We'll" The word is indeed a fitting ending for the editorial. To the consistent and unbiased thinker abundance of words are wrapped in those four little e let ters.
 |" for everybody left at home"! What about those who are not left at home? About those who will be taken next year? And the year after?
 Would the editor have us be lieve that this war is the outcome of selfish motives? That to fur ther those selfish motives we vii sacrifice millions of American lives?

Paul Becker Volunteers

Paul T. Becker, of the First National bank, yesterday volunteered in A bat tery, First New Mexico regiment na- tional guards. MT. Becker's name had appeared on the draft list, but there was still chance that he would not be selected, and his action in volunteering demonstrated fine spirit of patriotism that is receiving enthusiastic commend ation from his friends.
 Mir. Becker is the son of Gustav Becker of Springerville, Ariz., who was born in Germany, and nephew of John Becker of Belen. Today MT. Becker received from his brother Julius of Springerville, the following letter, written after he had learned that his brother Paul was among those in the draft list:
 "Dear Paul:-I understand you have been drafted, and although it's tough, still we know that you will do your duty and we can feel proud of you. Somebody must help the country in this trouble and 1 know you will in time feel proud that you had hand in the great fight between democracy and absolutism. 1 sincerely believe that 8 greater power than man had hand ln this and there will be a grand result for all mankind. Now that you are in, do your best and try to be leader IT the work you will be assigned to. "
 The First National bank, with which MT. Becker has been connected fol some time, will find it difficult to fill his place. e.-Albuq. Journal, July 27.

To supply trained lumber jacks, millmen. teamsters, and foresters recruiting will be vigor- ously pushed not only in New Mexico and Arizona, but through out the United States.

No Passports Into Mexico for
 Women.

Under date of the 2d inst. an nonncemeut came from Washing ton to the effect that the State Department has forbidden practi- cally further granting passports for women and children to enter Mexico, restricting their issue to men. The advice says:
 Although conditions in Mexico have improved materially, the state department is convinced that they have not become suffi- ciently normal. especially in Chi huahua, to sanction passports ex- cept in case of necessity.
 Applicants for passports to Mexico should accompany their application with a note requesting the department, in case the appli- cation is approved to notify by telegraph the collector of customs at the place where the applicant expects to leave the United States for Mexico.
 Upon the receipt of this tele- gram the custom officer may per. init the passage across the border, but all persons are urged to secure later from the embassy at Mexico City or from consulates their passports which will be forward ed by the department. -Nogales, Oasis.
