congress, as he leaves for France
the 18th of this month (July).
Mrs. Van Renellar of Wash.

esting address on Home Econom

The most attractive feature of
the congress was the military
band of Camp Cody, which the
commanding officer, John Nor

the United States.
Our meals were served in the
Elks Club.
Demonstrations were given
each morning in the armory.
This was a week of enjoyment
and pleasure to all who were
present,
The winning of this war is a
vital proposition to the woman
hood of the world. Every moth
er and daughter of New Mexico
must realize her responsibility
behind the lines of warfare and
do her part toward winning this
war.
Bear in mind that France has
been bled white and England
mourns the loss of the flower of
her manhood.
Bear in mind that the Hun
U-Boat sharks have paralyzed
the shipping of the world. That
civilization is looking to America
to stem the tide of incarnate
hate and savagery. This means
that each and every woman's
brains and hands must volunteer
to aid because the victory rests
with the women of America, 80

the cause of winning this war.

AUTO ACCIDENT

Clare Burruss, son Of Mr.. anc
Mrs. Fred Burruss, was instantly
killed last Saturday evening
when the automobile in which he
was riding turned over
Mr.. Burruss had taken a pas
senger to Torreon, Mrs. Burruss
and Clare accompanying him,
and they were on the return trip.
Fred was driving the car, and
both he and Mrs. Burrus were
quite badly, but not dangerously
hurt.
The accident occurred at the
arroyo about a mile north of Tor
reon, on the Torreon-Tajique
road. Fred says he was driving
at just a reasonably fast pace,
going down the slope, and when
the wheel struck the sand at the
foot of the slope the steering
wheel was wrenched out of his
hands, and that is all he can re-
member about it. His principal
injuries were on the left side of
the head and face, and he was
unconscious for several hours.
Mrs. Burrus was stunned but
soon recovered her faculties. Her
worst hurt was across the hips
and back. Clare was thrown 80
that when the car turned over the
fender with the weight of the
car struck him across the fore
head, and death was evidently
instantaneous.
Mrs. Burruss, although walk
ing was very painful. returned to
Torreon, and as soon as the good
people of Torreon learned of the
accident they hastened to do
everything possible in aid of the
unfortunates. A telephone mes
sage was at once sent to Estan-
cia, and very soon five automo-
biles with plenty of people, in
cluding Fred's brother Charley,
were at the scene of the accident
to render every assistance possi-
BILE. The injured and the dead
boy were brought to their home
in Estancia, where their injuries
were attended to.
The funeral of Clare was held
Monday afternoon in the Estan-
cia Catholic church, conducted by
the Parish priest, Rev. Father
Joseph Molinie, and the remains
were buried in the Estancia
cemetery.
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Dance of
Chicago, Mr.. and Mrs. A. A.
Rhonemus of California, Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. Burruss of Hurley,
were present at the funeral. Mr..
and Mrs Dance had been visit
ing here and had just started
home when the accident oc-
Cured.
Richard Clare Burruss was past
seven, would have been eight
years of age in August. He was
an unusually bright boy, and had
been promoted to the fourth
grade in school after having at
tended two terms.
The bereaved parents have the
heartfelt sympathy of the entire
community in their sorrow.

the Mother Daughter Congress. u
In the history of this grand old
new state there has never been a
a more important gathering than
the Mother and Daughter Con-
gress held last recently in AL
buquerque. Drawn together by
the magic of patriotism nearly
five hundred English speaking
and Spanish speaking women Of
New Mexico engaged in the war
service, gathered to study food
conservation.
They were so enthusiastic over
the cooperative benefits of the
congress and the possibilities of
such a union that a permanent
organization was formed. Year
after year it is hoped that this
congress will assemble to study
methods of patriotic service,
home craft, child welfare.
Every session of the congress
at the State Armory was a knit
ting session, while needles
clicked in making garments for
our boys lover there the
delegates gave attention tomusic,
speeches, watched cooking shows
and studied needle work dis
plays.
At the business session a strong
petition for national prohibition
was presented by the governors s
wife and was carried by vote
that brought every delegate to
her feet. Tears were in many
eyes as the rising vote was TAX
en-, and every woman voted for
the petition to be wired to the
president and both houses of
congress.
All women, from the gov
ernor's wife to the reticent little
Spanish mother wearing the SER
vice star that symbolized the
supreme patriotism of woman
hood, are sisters and are bound
by ties of mutual love and SYM
pathy was demonstrated in a
way that touched and delighted
all hearts. The instigators of
the congress builded better than
they knew. 1t should be per-
petuated and is destined to be-
come a power in the state. 1t is
the first of the kind in America
and in the world, and is blazing
new trails for a sisterhood of
Democracy the world over.
Mrs. Isaac Barth one of the
most devoted war workers of the
state, chairman of the war gar
den division of the State Food
Administration, wife of State
Senator Barth, was elected pres
ident of the congress for the first
year.
The officers elected are: Pres
ident, Mrs. Isaac Barth; first
vice president, Mrs. w. w.
Spackman of Socorro; second

cided yet.

Big Reductions in Bicycle Tires

Opposed for Support
OF Good Roads Issue

Portland, April 11.-Because of
the prominent part he took in sup
port of the $4,000, 900 bond issue for
good roads, r. N. Stanfied republi-
can candidate for United States SEN
ator, is being bitterly opposed by the
opponents of this good roads move
ment. Some Of the papers are say
ing that Stanfield alone is response
bic for the passage of the bill in the
house of which he was speaker, and
this week an anonymous circular was
distributed in Portland saying that
Stanfield was the man who en-
gineered this bill through the legis-
lature and should therefore be de-
feated. This has been taken up by
the good roads supporters and they
are urging all their friends to get
cut and work fer Stanfield, for they

OUR EXTENDING NEEDS
DEMAND LOYAL SUPPORT

The need for saving and economy
by our people, the need for the most
liberal and loyal financial support of
our government by the people, and
incidentally the need for some such
financial machinery as that sought to
be secured by the war finance cor
poration bill now pending in congress
are not only verified by the extraor-
dinary demands made upon the
United States to meet its war needs
and the war needs of the allies, but
are also emphasized by the growth of
our own domestic trade.
The domestic trade of the United
States for 1917 was estimated by
Professor Anderson, of Harvard Uni
versity, at $4,000, 900, 900; in 1913
il was but $4,000, 900, 900. The
strain on the financial machinery and
resources of the country to take care
of this tremendous increase in our
domestic trade as we'll as meet the
extraordinary demands of the war
can be appreciated by all.
The secretary of the treasury, in
drafting the war finance bill, gave
thorough study TO the measures
adopted by our allies in Europe and
to the conditions in this country, and
it is believed that the proposed bill
il wise and conservative war meas
ure to give relief during the period
of the war. 1t is primarily measure
to enable the financial institutions of
the country to furnish necessary cred
its to industries and enterprises es-
sential to the prosecution of the war,
