The Mounted Police.

The organization and renewed
activity of the New Mexico noun
ted police is a commendable
move on the part Of the admins
tration. Although Captain H.
j. McGrath's first monthly
report does not indicate that
there have been undue depre-
dations on the part of malefact-
ors and criminals throughout the
state, a vigilant state consta-
bulary is the best means of fore
stalling any such condition.
New Mexico is sparsely settled
there is broad stretches OF coun-
try which offer inviting hiding
places for criminals. Regular
city and county police cannot
reach such Businesses to advant-
age, and they should not be ex-
pected to do so.
The state mounted police,
equipped for business of this ma
ture is the most logical organiza-
ton for properly policing the out
lying regions.

Thrift and Economy

A letter of caution has been
sent out by the Council of Nat

body and also by the Advisory
Commission, which urges the
people to avoid Unnecessary ex-
penditures of every kind, which
is highly important in winning
the war. The letter follows:
The Council of National De-
tense and the Advisory Com
mission of the Council believe
that a concerted effort for &C.
onomy by the people of the
Nation will not only go far
toward paying Americas ex-
pense in the war, but will
reduce the consumption of raw
and manufactured materials es-

sential to the conduct Of the war.
The Council urges all to re-
frain from unnecessary expend-
itures of every kind, and to bear
constantly in mind that the only
one thing is now of real inn
portance, and that is the win
ming of the war.
The Nations recources in mar
power, money, transportation,
food stuffs, raw materials and
fuel, have already been subjected
to heavy strain, and it is the
clear duty of every citizen to
guard against increasing this
strain by a single w~asteful act.
1t is most creditable for every
one man or woman, boy or
girl-to be economical in dress.
food and manner of living. Ev-
cry evidence of helpful self-den-
ial on the part of all in a time
like this is most commendabIe.
This war is more than a con-
hict between two armies; it is
a contest in which every man,
woman and child can and should
render real assistance. Thrift
and economy are not only a pat
riotic privilege. they are a duty.
