stead act of lands in New Mexico.
The lands affected by the third des-
central part of the State in the east
ern portion of Chaves county and in
cluding a portion of the Rosw Il l'nd
district These lands were recent
l.. examined in the field by repre-
scntatives Of the Geological Survey
and the Bureau OF Plant Industry
who found that they were chiefly
valuable for grazing and raising of
forage crops. The total area design
ated is about 505O00 acres, of which
approximately 10000 acres are vac
ant public lands. The remaining
255 600 acres are already covered by
about 4'0 applications to make entry
under the act.
The nds If c'ed hv the fourth
designation are situated in the north
eastern part of the State, prin,ipal-
ly in Union County and within the
eastern portion f the Clayton land
district. The total area des'cnated d
is about 10000 acres, of which ap-
provim'tely 26 00O are vacant nublic
lands. The remaining 1900 acres are
covered by about l40 applications TO
make entry under the stock-raising
homestead act.

LAND SALE BROUGHT
STATE ALMOST SIX
HUNDRED THOUSAND
TOP PRICE ON SMALL TRACT
OVER EIGHTEEN DOLLARS
PER ACRE. ONE LARGE
TRACT SOLD FOR OVER
FOURTEEN DOLLARS

St. Valentines day was celebrated
at Clayton with another big public
auction of state lands, conducted by
State Land Commissioner Robert p
Ervien and number of assistants, in
which a total of 92,l0864 acres
brought the State a total purchase
price of $578,ls752, or an average of
s67 cents per acre. The sixty-nine
tracts sold ranged in acreage from
40 to $4,000, but the large majority
were small tracts, fifty-three Of the
sixty-nine tracts being of $40 acres
or less. Several hundred bidders and
spectators filled the court room
where the sale was held and the
bidding was active on a majority Of
the tracts. The best prices were re-
tions one OF these bringing $3.50 per
acre. the high price of the sale. A
tract of 1850 acres sold for $1,000 per
acre, and another of 2948 acres for
$l4.0s per acre. Bids up to 81. $8 and
SO per acre were frequent. While
the acreage sold was not as large
as that in the Union county state
land sale of April 1917, the activity
in bidding and prices paid indicated
that there has been no decrease in
the demand for state land in this
section, or the willingness of farm
ers and stockmen to bid what are
regarded as fancy prices for them.
Practically all the successful bidders
in the sale here were citizens of
New Mexico, although a number Of
bidders from other states were pres
ent and a number of tracts were
bought by stockmen from Texas and
Oklahoma.

c'ded to locate their new mission to
the Navajoes, at the old Indian camp
ing grounds known to the Indians as

cans, as Smiths Lake.
The Adventists have purchased A
section containing $40 acres of fine
land, just south of the lake. A day
school, a small hospital, and dwell
ings for the he'pers, will be erected
as soon as weather conditions are
fav 2rable. They expect to add build
ings and facilities as the developing
needs of the mission work demand
tn m. About ten thousand dollars
will be expended during the year.
In addition to the regular branch
es, the Adventists plan to teach the
Indian boys farming stock raising,
carpentry, bl,ck-smithing and shop
repairing. The girls will learn to
cook, sew and nurse. besides regular
housekeeping and gardening

keep pressing forward until the black
flag of autocracy has been ground
into the blood-soaked earth OF
Europe, and the heel of the German
Kaiser NJ longer threatens civiliza-

is the dynamic force in the heart of
every true Americana spirit uncon-
quered and unconquerable-the spirit
of Washington and Lincoln linked
with the spirit of Lafayette and Joan
of Arc, with the spirit of 'Bobs" and
Kitchener
From The Four Quarters
This spirit which will win the war
is confined to no one state, to no
one group of states, but pervades all
the territory where Old Glory waves
guaranteeing freedom, liberty and
equality.
The young and the strong will car
ry the flag "over the top. but those
older will make no less of a sac
rifice in sending the young and the
strong. Lacking this spirit, the older
would not send the young and the
strong with a smile. and the young
and strong could not be able to put
so much heart into the fight.
New Mexico Parents
This spirit is typified in question
