ORGANIZED FLAG CORPS"
IN ALBUQUERQUE. n. N.

Col. ID. X. b. Sellers, former may
rived here Sunday night on a few
days business visit in connection with
the Canon Realty company, of which
he is the general representative. Col.
Sellers will be remembered by Can
on City people as the original sales
agent of the Beaver Park Land and
Water company and the booster par
excellence. As publicity man Col.
Sellers has no superior in the west
and whatever he undertakes in that
respect is carried to success. To show
the enthusiasm which Col Sellers
puts into his enterprises and the
happy results that follow The Daily
Record desires to relate his expert
ence in the organization of a Flag
corps among the people of Albuquer-
que last week. sasf
Realizing some ten days ago the
imminence of declaration of war
with Germany by congress- Colonel
Sellers gave notice thru the columns
of the Albuquerque newspapers on
Saturday. March 31st, that he would
organize a Flag corps the following
Monday. and that he wanted within
Sc hours the names of 1850 peo-
pie who would contribute dollar
apiece and enroll themselves. az mem

fore the expiration of the time men

ing or any other form OF solicitation.

dollars. had been placed in Col. Sci
ier's hands. Every member OF the
Albuquerque Flag corps, which is
composed of msn. women and child
rem OF every condition of life and of
many nationalities. has pledged him
self revere, reverence and protect
''Old Glory" at all times and under
all circumstances. They also pledge
themselves to prevent the flag from
trailing in the dirt. or from receiving
abuse of any kind. Whenever they
see a flag blown from its staff. or
other fastening, they are pledged TO
escue il and restore il TO its proper
place where il may float in sunshine
and breeze.
The appeal for membership in the
Albuquerque Flag corps swept the
town like cyclone and outgrew the
limits set for 1t. To prevent its furth-
er expansion the movement had to
be called off. OF the money paid IN
from memberships the sum OF $3.50
was spent by Col Sellers in buying
flags for the adornment OF the city
and the remaining $40 was used for
paying the expense of having them
strung across the public streets and
in the purchase OF little flags to be
pinred in the clothing of the citizens
OF the community. AS result of
Col. Sellers campaign Albuquerque Is
brilliant with the national colors
and all Of IFS residents. men. women
and children. are wearing miniature

tiated two at the most important min
deals that have taken place in the Yer
ington district this ,ear. In fact, i
is the biggest transaction relating tc
mining property owned or contr ollie,

occurred for several years.
The first transaction Was the leos.

Yerington company and all option to
purchase control of the capital stock
of the corporation by John II. Miller
the Hawthorne mine operator, and his
associates. The amount of the pur-
chase price is not made public, but is
said to be in six figures. 1t is ex-
pected that the new owners will put
large force of men at work and rap
idly develop the ground.
The other transaction was the TAX
