MANY NEW CAMP
THEATERS ARE, TO
BE COMPLETE SOON
(Official Bulletin)

The construction of IS more Lib
erty Theaters, to be located mainly
at the National Guard camps in the
South, has been ordered by the War
Department Commission on Training
Camp Activities, according to an
nouncment by Raymond r. Fosdick
chairman. Added to the 10 Liberty
Theaters already running in the Ma
tional Army cantonments, this makes
a chain of 81 theaters to be operat-
ed by the Government for the amuse-
nent of the soldier.
The new Liberty theaters are be-
ing constructed with remarkable
speed. One of the l5--that at Camp
Wheeler, Macon, Ga.-already has
been completed within eight work
ing days. Building is now under way
at the following places:
Camps Greene, Charlotte, N. c.;
Wadsworth, Spartanburg, S. c.; Han
cock, Augusta, Ga; Beauregard
Alexandria, La; Logan, Houston,
Tex; Macarthur, Waco. Tex; Bowie
Fort Worth. Tex; Doniphan, Fort
Sill, Okla; Cody, Deming, N Mex.
Fremont. Palo Alto, Cal; Kearney
Linda Vista, CAL; Johnston, the
Quartermastcr's Training Camp
Jacksonville. Fla. Fort Bliss, FL Paso
Tex; and Humphrey, Belvoir, Va.
Liberty Theaters at Camps Sewer,
Greenville, s. C.; Shelby, Hatties-
burg, Miss; Sheridan, Montgomery
Ala; McClelland, Admission, Ala; and

mission has made concessions to
private operators to erect theatres
within these camps.
The new Liberty Theaters are de-
signed especially for theatrical per-
formanceS. The stage measures 10
by p feet and the building itself
l20 by 90 feet. Stationary benchrs

BREAKS FEBRUARY
DEPOSIT RECORDS
GRAZING LANDS ARE STILL
BRINGING FANCY PRICES
AND THE AMOUNT Or
CASH TURNED IN rs AN
EVER INCREASING ITEM

The State Land department on
total of $4,000, revenue from
leases and sales of state lands re-
ceived during the month of February
the amount being the largest on
record for that month, which ordin-
arily is not an active one in the
state land office. Indication now
are that month by month the high
records of last year for state land
income will be distanced by the pay
ment of the current fiscal year.
Following the successful auction OF
state land at Clayton in Union coun-
~ on February H. State Land Com
missioner R P. Ervien and his as
sistants went to Ration and Mora
where sales were held last week. In
the Colfax county sale at Ration a
total of 4l,78O94 acres sold for a
gross price of $22l ,254.sl, or an aver
age of $3.50 an acre; while in the
Mora county sale at Mora 28,OS2 33
acres brought $l75,430.o0, or an aver
age of $6.2S per acre. This is the
hest average on record for a Mora
county sale of the state lands. Bid
ling was active in both auctions last
week and while the greater part
Of the land sold was strictly graz
ing land, several of the smaller tracts
brought fancy prices one tract OF 900
acres in Mora county going at $l6
an acre, while 4 tract of 1852 |
acres in that sale went for %ll. The
tracts in these two sales ranged in

U. S. NOW HAS DEEPEST
WELL IN THE WORLD

The deepest we'll in the world, al
ready 1868 feet deep, is now being
drilled on the Goff farm, miles
northeast of Clarksburg, in northern
West Virginia. Until January "a the
record for depth had been held by a
boring at Czuchow, in Silesia, which
had reached depth of 7,34o feet,
but on that day DIR. l. c. White, the
State geologist of West Virginia, an
nounced that the Hope Natural Gas
Co. had driven the bit to a depth of
1850 feet, one good American foot
in excess of the German record.
Moreover, the drilling is still in pro-
sress and as sufficient length of
cable and adequate power and tools
are at hand the prospects are good
for driving still farther down into
the crust of the earth and winning
the penant by considerable margin.

BERNALlLLO IS
RAISING $4,000
ON KENOSHAPL

If Bernalillo county stepped to th(
plate in the last half of the ninth
inning, with two down, the bases fill
led and two runs needed to win, there
would be good reason to hope foI
the cleanup hit, which would senc
over the winning runs.
That hope would be based upon
the fact that Bernalillo county has
developed the faculty of hitting ir
the pinchcs. 1t is in the war work
the most important thing in the worlc
today, that Bernalillo county has
come to the front in the stellar role
Of pinch hitter.
First Wi Kenosha Plan
Valuable work has been done along
other lines, but it has been in the
development of the kenosha plan
that the county has shown its turn
not only OF speed, but OF endurance
as well.
Bernalillo county was the first
county in the state OF New Mexico
to adopt the Kenosha plan, as it was
submitted to the several counties BY
the New Mexico Council of Defense
/ he Council of Defense put it's ap-
proval upon the plan in submitting
it to the county councils of defense

NEWSPAPERS TALK
ABOUT CURRENT
PRICE OF WHEAT
New York Herald)

President Wilson has done we'll tc
fix at this time the price for neNt
years wheat yield at 500 a bushel
the same as for the last crop. This
is high enough to encourage liberal
production and OF letting farmer,
and all hoarders know that there
will be no advance will have tend
ency to quickly bring out stores OF
the much needed-g grain.
(New York Times)
The Pres dents price ought not to
be a finally. 1t ought to be revised
according to conditions, especially in
Guiding the weather and the war. If
the Presidents price is too high, it
ought to be reduced, by equality OF
reasoning and the farmers ought to
have that risk kept before them. If
the Government goes into the grain
trade, it ought to trade on trading
principles. The worst way Of re-
gulating prices is by statute.
(Brooklyn Eagle)
Post office appointments, public
buildings, pensions, rivers and harb-
ors bills, none of the old familiar
sources of pork" ever opened a bar
rel SO limitlessly wide and deep as
power over commodity prices.
Baltimore American)
Standardizing the price of wheat
at $2.20 the bushel means keeping
other farm products to the high
levels at which they are now being
marketed, Corn, oats, pigs, poultry,
eggs, butter, hay and garden truck
whatever is produced on the farm
will be marketed this year at nearly
double the ante bellum prices be-
cause of the more than double price
of wheat. These prices are not in
inflated money--they are in money
of the gold standard value. And to
digress a bit-what a fine thing it
is for the farmers that the Bryan
idea of an inflated money was not
adopted back in 1896 or 1900!
(Troy Res--d)
Now that President Wilson has is
sued a proclamation in which he
places the price OF wheat for 1918
at figures ranging from 81 to $22S,
Senator Gore, who has been eager
to boost the price to $3.50, may cen
clude that half a loaf is better tlan
none. While the farmer is entitled
to fair returns, he must consider
that the action OF the President is
due to a desire to be fair to all
manner and condition of men in the
United States.
(Rochester Democrat and Chronicle)
German agents are reported to be
buying up wheat in Argentina in
the name of the Government of
NJ exico There is no way, of course,
by which the grain could be trans
ported to Mexico. The purpose
must be to keep it away from the
Allies and the United States.
