TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE
SUN JUNE 6TH, ABOUT
. PER CENT IN N. M

On the afternoon OF Saturday
June s, 1918. the wonderful spectacle
OF total solar eclipse will be vis-
ihle, weather permitting. over a track
extending from the Pacific wash
ington) to the Atlantic (Florida) d.
This track of the moons shadow is
70 miles wide at the western coast,
narrowing to 40 miles in Florida.
For about an hour the moon will
gradually encroach upon the suns
disk, the daylight will fade, then
the narrowing crescent of the sun
will suddenly disappear, and around
the jet-black ball of the moon, hang
ing in the northwestern sky among
the brighter stars, will be seen the
pearly radiance of the mysterious
solar corona. The remarkable spect-
acle may be enjoyed for l22 seconds
at the western coast, and for half
that time in Florida. Then the crcs-
cent of the sun will appear on the
other (weStern) side of the moon,
and after another hour the full disk
of the sun will shine as usual.
This event happens at any one
'ldtSJ Ou INC dfSIdSS, OHly luTCG
times in thousand years.
The gaseous envelopes of the sun
can be advantageously studied by as
tronomcrs during the brief interval
OF total eclipse, and it is then only
that the corona can be observed.
1t is estimated that there are only
about 90 minutes in a century for the
Investigation of this interesting but
still perplexing outer appendage of
the sun. Its shape is not constant,
but varies with the eleven-year cycle
of the suns activity in producing
sun-spots. Sun-spots are now about
at their maximum, and accordingly
we may expect corona with
streamers distributed in all directions
around the sun, but not so widely
extended east and west an in 1860
The streamers issuing from near the
suns poles suggest somewhat GER
tain appearances of the aurora bore
ais.
The light of the corona is partly
reflected sunlight and partly radia-
ton due to the intense heat it re-
ccives from the sun. But the most
interesting part is due to an unknown
gas, called coronium, which has not
vet been found in the earth or in
the spectrum Of any other sun.
The eclipse will not be total in
New Mexico but the portion of the
sun covered will vary from 60 to so
per cent, thus affording a very in
tcrcstinp sDectacie.

GENERAL FINDS
NATIVE CITY ON HUSTLE

Attorney General Harry Patton re-
turned this week from a trip to
Clovis where he went to look after
his law practice for few days. He
riihtfully believes the Curry county
metropolis is one of the most hustl-
ing communities in the southwest
and recited for the Record a few of
their achiefments in proof of his
contention.
Over Top Before Starting Gun
On Sunday before the Red Cross
drive began a number of business
men met to discuss the quota of$S,-
900 which had been set for Clovis,
and after a little talk began to set
down the subscriptions they thought
could be made. They went out
around town for a few more, and
found that they had raised $500
before the drive started, or in oth'
words over the top with ten per
cent TO- spare.
The construction of a fine $4,000
high school, second only in size and
equipment to the big high school
at Albuquerque has begun, Main
street is being paved. An injunction
hating this work has been
Iii, rosed of BY the law firm
in which Mr.. fatton is a
pa: dner while he was there. In
spite of a drauth which has set crop
production back to some extent.
everyone in that region is reported
optimistic, new settlers are coming
in every day, there is considerable
building going on in the city, mi
Clovis pc eopie are up on there toes
and boosting tor anything and every.
thing that - fer the good Of their
community.
1t looks as though the general is
somewhat frttted by the fac. that
his official duties keep him away
so much % the time from this g,rdcn
spot of ha -inony and progress.
Speaking Of politics, Mr.. Patton sa; S
"if I coulr ,'.st make mine enemies
love me, I would be perfectly happy

ORDER YOUR YEARS
SUPPLY OF COAL NOW
DELAY IS DANGEROUS

The week OF June 3rd to 9th ha.
been designated as "Coal Week" BY
the United States Fuel Admiaistra
tor. While for several weeks specia
efforts have been made throughout
the United States to urge the early
ordering of coal, there will be a
special intensive drive on carly or.
dering during Goal Week"
With the bulk of the years sup.
ply of coal ordered well in advance
the distribution agencies of the gov.
ernment will be in a position to ad-
just equitably and properly the de-
mands as between different COM
munities. 1t will be possible to guage
accurately the increased demand and
properly apportion the available sup
ply.
Together with the urgent appeal to
the industries as well as to domestic
consumers to order their coal early
there goes the request that those
who get their orders in wait patient
ly for deliveries. Course the entire
coal output of the country cannot
be delivered within few months
But those orders first in the hands of
the dealers will be the first deliver
ed.
Production is steadily increasing,
but it must be further increased if
the country's coal needs for the
year are to be filled.
Already in many communities one
third OF the coal orders have been
placed by both industrial and domes-
tic consumers. In the eastern part
OF the country the dealers have been
practically overwhelmed with early
orders for anthracite, but west of
the Mississippi the orders have been
so slow in coming on as to lend no
stimulus to increased production and
as a matter of fact. there has been
some shutting down Of mines for
lack Of orders for the product.
In every State of the Union pre-
parations have been made to bring
the early coal ordering message
squarely before the people.

As war measure, Mayor E. P.
Davies yesterday brought to sen.

made his peremptory order for six
o'clock closing.
The Case in Court
The dispute started when the city
council at its last meeting by vote
OF four to three passed a closing
ordinance. The mayor voted with
the council to suspend the rules and
pass the ordinance there and then.
1t was contcnded that his vote gave
the necessary two thirds majority
for such action.
Levy was represented by A. B.
Ronehan, and the city by City At
torney J. J. henney. The point
OF constitutionality was conceded by
the court.
Two Petitions Out
The action of the council was tax.

OF petition asking for 6 o'clock
closing signed by a large number of
citizens. 1t was said to haH been
circulated by Judge Holloman and
Associate Justice Clarence J. Roberts

tion opposing same is said to have tho
signatures of all the business men
in town except three. If the mayor
had not taken action as he did an
appeal by the losing party to the
suit was expected.

The Economy of Victory

No matter what this war costs the
government and the people Of the
United States in the way of money.
it is going to be much cheaper to
win than to lose.
The commercial and financial los.
ses that would follow German VIC
tory are not to be calculated. All
that we spent would be lost. indem-
mites beyond calculation would have
to be paid. and along with these los
ses would come a continuing loss in
foreign commerce that would spell
disaster.
With these material losses we
.,.o.'td. lose our national liberty and
independence, our power to secure
our international rights, our right to
live in a world ruled by the dictates
of humanity and civilization.
