WOMAN'S CLUB

The Woman's s Club met on Sat-
urday afternoon at the home of
Mrs Grimmell with Mrs. Parrett
hostess. Nearly all the mem
bers and several visitors were
present and the Lyceum course
was planned. The secretary read
a letter from someone wanting
each member of the club and all
clubs to to pay one dollar for the
building of furlough houses in
France for our boys on their va
cation to have a home to rest in.
The club was willing to do their
bit, every member signing their
dollar.
After the business was con-
cluded little Miss Frances Kelly
came tripping in with a small
child's wagon filled with many
mysterious packages. She
stopped before one of the men,
bers saying I'VE heard you
were going to California soon,
and wished to remember you
with this travelling shower. y
The lady, of course, was too sur
prised for words, but after the
shedding of few tears she
found her voice enough to thank
the ladies for the many beauti-
ful remembrances and said if
possible she would be more loyal
to her club in the future. Such
things go to make our pathway
brighter and smooth out the
rongh places as we go through
life.
After the gifts were admired
by all present the hostess served
delicious refreshments, and a
good social hour was passed.
The next meeting will be with
Mrs. Ralph Robertson.

GERMAN ALLIES

How many German Allies are
our ranges feeding? If your cat.
tie or other stock are infested
with parasites they are nothing
more or less than German allies.
Lice on cattle are the worst OF
all parasites in this country.
They keep the cattle from doing
their best winter and summer.
The young cattle are retarded in
their growth. The old stay poor
the year round. Often | have
heard cattle men, who knew.
make the following remark: Il
can afford to feed my cattle but
not the parasites that are on
them"
1t takes much less feed for
stock that are clean from lice,
ticks and other parasites, for
they are more contented.
Cattle should be dipped once
or twice each year. This should
be done each fall, as it is during
the winter months that cattle
suffer most from lice, etc. The
cost of dipping should not be
great if the proper dipping watts
are built. There should be sew
eral community dipping watts for
cattle in the county. Already
there are two dipping watts for
cattle in the county. One south
of Negra on Mr.. Melton's ranch,
and he says he wouldn't be with
out it. Another is a community
vat at Moriarty.
Think it over, stockmen, and
let us organize committees for
building watts. | will help get
plans and costs of materials. R.
L. Strong, County Agent.

YOUNG MEN!
TAKE NOTICE!

l have been appointed enroll
ing agent for the Boys Working
Reserve for Torrance county,
and l will take this opportunity
to explain the purpose of the
organization and urge the young
men of the county to enroll.
The purpose of the organiza-
ton is chiefly to secure the SER
vice of the young men in the
towns and cities for labor on the
farms or some industry essential
to the winning of the war.
Thousands of high school and
college students, especially in
the larger cities, have formerly
spent their vacation in idleness.
Now, in order to secure their
service, which is of so great i'm
portance to the country, the De-
partment of Labor has organized
the association known as the
Boys Working Reserve. Boys
from sixteen to twenty-one may
enroll. Upon enrolling the men,
bers receive a pretty enrolment
button and handsome certifi-
cate stating that they are men,
bers of the reserve.
After having actually worked
thirty-six days on the farm or
sixty days in some other essen
tial industry, a badge of honor is
presented to the member with
the inscription: Patriotic Ser
vice 1913"
In order that the country boys
should have the same privilege
as the city boys, they are also
asked and urged to enroll al
though they would anyhow be
working on the farms. Thirty
six days out of the time they
work on their own or their faith
er's farms will be accepted as
the time required, ard full regu-
lar wages will be paid.
Let every young man enroll
and gain the benefit as we'll as
the honor of this kind of service
to our country.
Apply to D. E. Erickson, Prin-
cipal of Schools, Estancia.

NO SUCH PERSON
March 27, 1918.

M afcn ~, 1915.
Mr.. Burr Milbourn,
Estaneia, New Mexico.
Dear Sir;
The Post Office Inspector of
San Antonio recently referred to
me a letter written you by Frank
]. VanBuren. in which he stated
that a Cadet Kenneth L. Mathews
had been killed by a fall while
flying an airplane on February
22nd. Upon investigation of this
matter | cannot find, on the past
or present files, any Frank j.
VanBuren and l find that Ken
meth L. Mathews. who was never
a flying cadet and has, as far as
can learn, never been in an air
plane, was transferred on the
25th of February to the David
Rankin School at ST. Louis, Mo.
He is a member of the 328th
Aero Squadron
| am at a loss to know what
could have inspired this letter
and will, therefore, be obliged if
you will let me know anything
further you find concerning it.
Very truly yours,
THOMAS DUNCAN,
Lieut. Colonel, A. S. S. C.
Executive Officer.
