Shadow Of the Cross
Reaches Past the
$4,000 Mark
Success Of big Drive due to
Heroic Efforts and Patriot
ic Sacrifices by Mercy Band
and Cheerful sGivers

Well done, good and faithful
servants; the figures in the head
Of this article show how com
pletely you have responded to
the call Of the government for
more funds with which to pros
cute the struggle to maintain a
democracy that is a glowing ex-
ample to the world, and to- pre-
serve it for future generations
to come.
In this article, it is our aim to
give credit collectively to all
who assisted in the solicitation
of this handsome amount, and
also to commend the generosity
of the givers. Messers j. b.
French and Brent Paden, who
acted as president and secretary
of the drive, are deserving of the
highest of praise, for toll and
sacrifice, while the able assist
ants who supported them come
in for their share of the credit
If it were possible to chronicle
in detail every account Of the
work done during this drive, and
could it be shown TO just what
extent the good people made
sacrifices in order to support the
mercy fund, it would be enough
to turn pages blue into gold.
For an example: one Of the
Sisters of the Cross" tells of a
little girl whose mother tolls
hard and long to earn a lively
hood for herself and children,
came voluntarily and with an
amount, small though it was.
said her mother wanted 10 do
something for the cause. It was
the widows mite, " but only
Him that see'eth in secret, can
estimate its value. The Qbig
drive is over; the different
towns throughout the countyre-
sponded nobly and as far as
possible we are making separate
mention Of the good work that
has been dona The Outlook
congratulates one and all.

this region for future generations
that were to follow him, and was
much loved by the many who
knew him.

his children but has always claim

Last week a party composed
of Mr.. Ed Harris and wife,
Ira Johnson and wife, and

Cole, Sallie Johnson, and Jennie
Boone of Captain, motored up
to the Pecos river and enjoyed
several days of recreation in
that locality. Mr.. Harris is
authority for the broad state
ment that on a certain after
noon he caught a channel cat
fish weighing over twelve
pounds, and the same fish fur
nished the entire party with an

similar endeavors. But this
does not reach the majority of
the children of our country who
are in need Of systematic train
ing.
The marked success of spec
tally planned work for the child
rem on the farms was noticed by
the u. S. Department of Agri-
culture and on investigation was
found to be of great value in
keeping the boys aud girls on
the farms, increasing the guam

With able corps of enthusiastic
workers industrial clubs have
become an important part Of the
extension service of agricultural
colleges.
BY studying local conditions,
and the success and failure of
club members lessons have been
adapted to the strength, alb
ility, and surroundings of the
children in the various parts of
the United States. For New
Mexico interesting projects are
arranged in gardening, canning,

Every effort Is being made by the

cial freight trains loaded with nothing
but the substitutes" he added.
"The dealers must make an effort to
get these foodstuffs. They have been
inclined to sit around and wait for some
one to come to the mand offer the sub
stitutes. We are doing everything we
can to help them. We have no subst-
tutes to supply from this office, and we
cannot tell them where to go. II Is up
