at Price Below That of
Wheat Flour.

Washington.-Pe flour bread
has been put on the market in wide
distribution by baking company In

peanut cake left after oil extraction.
1t is said to contain a satisfactory
percentage of fat and to have almost
twice the heterogeneous food value Of
dried beef, in the ratio of A to 25.
The loaf is made of one-fifth peanut
flour to four-ffths wheat flour, which
produces balanced ration, supplying
both bread and meat ingredients.

digestible, wholesome and palatable,
and the Florida company expects to
be able to market it at a price below

IN BATTLE
Young Women Of Red Cross
Make Fine Record.
Render Invaluable Service in Opening
of German Offensive in
France.

Washington.-Young women of a
Red Cross front line unit made fine
record in the opening German often
sive in France. At Roye they took
over the direction of military traffic.
One girl in uniform standing at the
four corners directed columns of guns,
cavalry, supply wagons and troops,
thus preventing a traffic jam.
These women were the last to leave
several towns before the Germans en-
tered. They aided hundreds of refu-
gees and established temporary kitch-
ems, where, among others, $50 British
soldiers who had not eaten for many
hours were fed.
The girls also established an infor-
nation bureau at Montdidier until, this
town was captured by the Germans.
They picked up wounded when they
were unable to make their way to
dressing stations, and brought food to
canteens and kitchens to keep them
going.
At times the girls were only one day
ahead of the advancing Germans and
once crossed a bridge only few mo-
ments before it was blown up. For
eight days they worked without remov-
ing their clothes, sleeping on straw in
barns when they could sleep, and eat
ing irregularly.
All in all, the conduct Of American
girls and women back Of the lines is
calculated to inspire our soldiers to the
highest courage and exertions.

WORK OF THE Y.M.C.A.

Washington.-In its work of minis

religious welfare of the boys and young
men of this city and county who have
enlisted in the National army, the Y
NJ. G. A. is now expanding a total OF
$5,000,000 month. These, together
with other interesting figures on the
scope of the work are contained in a
bulletin just received from the Nation
al war work council.
According to the statement of the
council, the "home" side of army camp
life Is being maintained among the
hundreds of thousands of soldier boys
both in the United States and in
France. At the present time there are
1900 Y. M. G. A. workers with the ex-
probationary forces in France and Eng
land and 5000 other workers in Ameri-
can camps.
The Y. M. G. A. has been asked by
General Pershing to take over the en-
tire canteen system with the American
army In France, and this will require
the services of more than 5000 volun-
teer workers alone. An effort is now
being made to secure at least 1000
business and professional men of high
standing who will go to France for all
sorts Of z. M. G. A. service before

NEWMEXICCS GAIN IN ASSESSED VALUATION
\1SA nv ENCOURAGING EVENT IN A HARD YEAR

TT HE MEMBERS of the New Mexico Tax Com
mission. and It's secretary are to be c%ongrattl-
lated on the early completion OF the year
valuations for assessnCnt, and upon the healthy M
crease IN total valuation shown. The increase tins
wear is approximately $4,000, 900. about S9.O00.O00
short Of the, increase last year, hut still a very
substantial and creditable gain for Il yeai that has
had its h%aTdships for almost every industry and
business and that has witnessed little business or
Industrial cxpanSionsit b.
For the most part increases IN valuation have
been small and widely distributed, and the result
achieved represents hard and diligent work ON the
part of the Commission. and n cooperation from
County taxing authorities that has been more
prompt and more efficient than ever before. This
county cooperation resulted M bringing IN the
completed assessment rolls. from all bnt one county
Santa Fcl. earlier than ever before. This Is the
most encouraging sign in connection with the
years valuation. Real Improvement in our tax
alton situation and system must come from the
local taxing authorities, and If the state Tax Com
mission has succeeded IN forwarding efficiency
there il has accomplished a very notable result.
Ncw Mexico's assessed valuation, as Just fixed
by the commission, is 1919, o 10000, an increase of
fifty million dollars within two years. 1t is - very
encouraging Indication of growth in a period de
voted wholly TO war work and related concerns and
i'm which have been encountered many uniavorablc
conditions of drouth and other retarding influences
on ranch mud farm that have held back advances
in values of property. That a more thorough sys-
tenn Of assessing property has had most To- do With
the increase is clear. Still, with this allowed for, a
substantial growth is shown IN the wealth of the
state. 1t is apparent that New Mexico has been
and is going ahead in spite Of war and drouth
that our development is proceeding. slowly but on
solid lines.
There are many critics of the existing tax
laws. Many do not approve of the Commission
plan at all. Others find fault with the mine tax
end of the taxing system, and our Attorney Gen.
eral has several times laid down his final conclusion
that II is unconstitutional.
Nevertheless the past two years have made it
perfectly plain that under competent administraN

OOMETIIING very like a boom in oil prospecting
is AT hand ia the southwest. Drills are run
ming pretty much all over New Mexico. north
crn Arizona and surrounding territory, wherever
drilling machinery aud equipment can be secured.
Fortunately the vast majority of this drilling is
being done by substantial concerns that are amply
financed aud are needing and asking no local as
sistancc in the way of stock subscriptions.
There are u few stock selling concerns in the
market. Without undertaking to pass upon the merit
of any of them, one can say with safety that, while
we encourage oil prospecting in this field aud hope
with y deep and abiding hope that II will develop
oil in mcrchantablc volume, a wildcat oil prospect
is no place for the poor man 10 put his money.
Oil prospecting is the most fascinating sport
in the business world. II is blind gambling for the
most part, with the average man who puts mp his
money. The rewards Of success aIe SO huge that
men of the soundest Judgment let go reserves and
savings in the pure spirit of adventure.
But in times like these when conservation of
every financial resource is necessary. a good, safe
plan, before investing money in a wildcat oil pros.
pccting undertaking, is to go and talk II over with
your banker.
And remember, also, that the hes, investment
in the world, and the safest. is a United States
Liberty bond. The dividend is much smaller than
that from a producing oil we'll, but il comes with
far greater regularity.
