BAN ON FIREWORKS

Carlsbad, n. NJ, June l7.-State
Explosives Inspector, Miles c. Stewart
stated today that the Explosives Com
mittee would make no effort to reg
ulate use of fireworks in New Mexico
on July 4th.
AT its meeting in Albuquerque last
week." said Mr. Stewart, ut was the
sense of the Committee that under ex-
sting conditions no patriotic Ameri-
can would be willing to endanger the
peace and safety Of his community
and waste explosives by an unwise use
of fireworks. This, with the Local
regulations against fireworks existing
in nearly every town in New Mexico
made us feel that any action on oui
part was unnecessary"
| do not believe there is man in
New Mexico who will use fireworks
this year, or permit others to do so
Nyhen we all know the danger attach
ed"

BEEF ALLOWANCE TO BE CUT

Inc butcher shops of Tucumcari are
allowed to sell but "a pounds of meat
per person per week, but this order
will not be compulsory until the 9th
of June as will be noted by the follow
ing paragraph sent out by the State
Food Administration:
"We are advised that it takes from
week to ten days to curtail the sup
plies of meat coming into this state
from the Packing Houses. Waste of
beef is almost criminal. You are re-
quested to disregard the rule and use
the meat wherever the present supply
or shipments heretofore ordered and
received before the 9th inst; would
otherwise spoil under the operation of
the rule regarding the consumption Of
beef. That will relieve the situation" "
But wherever no waste will result
from the immediate observation of the
rule, private consumers and public eat
ing places alike are urged to conform
to it vigorously. Talk with your meat
man. find out their conditions and help
to relieve the situation according 10
present needs. After the 9th there
should be no relaxation Of the rule and
beef will be served ut only four meals
weekly in public eating places.

ITALIANS HOLD AND
PUSH AUSTR|ANS BACK
...ALL|ES ARE WINNING

The Austrian pincers are not clos
ing up on Italy with the precision of
last October when they forced back the
Italian armies of General Cadorna
from the Julian Alps to the Piave riv-
er and from the northern mountain
regions almost TO the plains of Venetia
In fact, they do not seem to be closing
at all.
The upper jaw in the Venetian Alps
is stalled under the resistance of the
British, French and Italian forces, and
the neither one seems to lack the force
necessary TO bring it across the Piave
river and push back the Italian troops
which are clogging its path.
In the Alps the Austrians have been
unable further to advance their lines
since their initial onslaught last week.
Everywhere from the Asiago plateau
sector eastward to the Pave river all
their attacks have quickly been re-
pulsed by the allied troops who, in
their turn, have delivered counter at
tacks, regained lost terrain, inflicted
heavy casualties on the enemy and TAX
en- a considerable number of prisoners.
The Italian war offices announce that
the enemy everywhere is being held
along the Piave.
From Vienna comes a variant re-
port. 1t does not concede to the al
lies any gains of ground in the noun
tain region, saying that all their coun-
ter attacks were repulsed
Infantry operations on the battle
front in France continue virtually at
standstill, but the allied and Ger
man guns are roaring on various sec
tions, and it is not improbable that
fighting on a large scale will be re-
sumed somewhere shortly. Along the
Ancre, south of Albert, and west Of
Serre, the British and Germans are
engaged in mighty artillery duels,
while spirited activity is noticeable all
along the French sector near Mont
Didier. The French continue daily to
regain ground taken from them in
the recent German offensive south of
the Aisne and also to take prisoners
in their enterprises.
Several attempts by the Germans to
penetrate the American lines in the
Marne sectors have been smashed by
the American machine gun fire.

GOVERNMENT NEEDS MORE
GOOD STENOGRAPHERS

Owing to the demand for competent
stenographers and clerks caused by the
fact that so many Of our men have
been transferred from the Offices to
the battle front, and this demand is
likely to increase rapidly, st. Michaels
Institute has arranged to hold spe-
cial summer school to prepare girls
and young women to become compe-
tent stenographers and clerks. Many
Of the students Of the institute have
already secured good positions and
several more will shortly be equipped
for business career.
Is. %. Stevenson, the principal of the
shorthand department, has recently re-
turned to Canada with the expectation
of enisting in the Aviation Corps.
The Misses b. B. and b. N. Bran
son have been added to the faculty to
assist Rev +. j. Hoering in the steno-
graphic department. Before the above
mentioned arrangements had been com
pleted, several applications for ad-
mission to the institute were rejected
because at that time il was thought
wis" to close the school for the sum
mer months. The attention of all
such applicants is called to the above
announcement. Students may enter
at any time, as the instruction is in
dividual. Until further notice the
school will be open Monday, Tues,

MAYOR JAMES ASKS
CITIZENS TO USE WA.
TER VERY SpAR|NGLY

The city water supply ran low two
evenings when the citizens were wa
tering their lawns, trees and gardens
and some were even wasting the wa
ter. For II time it looked dangerous.
You could imagine most anything and
one of the worst things was fire
in the business part of town. This did
not happen. so the wells were operated
"a hours n day and all useless waste
was cut out.
On Wednesday the mayor issued the
following proclamation:
lowing to the scarcity of water dur
ing this dry spell we find il compul-
sory to request that the usage of city
water for the purpose of irrigation and
watering of trees and lawns be de
creased as much as possible for IA few
days until we can again fill our reser-
voir This is necessary for fire pro-
lection.
"Police officers have instructions to
cut off all hydrants that are found run
ming for these purposes until such time
as we can again fill our reservoir. |
trust that we may have the help and
cooperation Of every citizen in this
matter. NJ r. James, Mayor"
The city has just brought in new
well but the machinery for pumping
same has not been installed. 1t is
thought the well will be working by
July LIST, but will be Of little value un-
Ill it has been used while.
There have been numerous leaks in
the water mains throughout the city
and the extension Of the lines has in
creased the usage of water. For the
past live years the total amount of
water has increased nearly five mil
lion gallons a year. During the month
of May, 1917, II year ago, the citizens
used 100000 gallons of water. Dur
ing the same month this year there
was more than million gallon in
crease, or 5,2Sl 900 gallons. This
fact proves that the city water prob
lem is the greatest one for the city
to handle. 1t will take a man of ex-
perience, one who understands that
line of work, to handle the water de-
partment successfully. The color OF
his hair or his politics should have
nothing to do with this job and Mayor
James is trying to find the right man
for the place.
In the meantime let every citizen
help conserve water. Use the hoe and
garden plow more and less water. The
vegetables will grow faster and be bet,
ter for the table. A little water at
the right time will keep your lawn
in good condition. One good watering
and a dry mulch around your trees
will do more good than continually
pouring on water. Let the city get q
supply Of water ahead and then you
will feel safer from fire.

PRICE OF WOOL FIXED BY Gov
EMINENT WAR INDUSTRIES
BOARD ANNOUNCES
Speculation il Prohibited


The war Industries Board has is
sued the following statement;
The Government has definitely fixed
the price of wool, taking as basis
the secured value in Boston on July
30, 1917.
The arrangement was arrived at by
conferences between the representa-
tives of the growers, the dealers, and
the government.
/ 1t is desired that wool shall, as near
ly as possible follow its usual channels,
and to this end the growers have
agreed to the dealers the new clip, and
the dealers have agreed to distribute
it upon definite basis of compensa-
ton conforming to the government s
direction as to its distribution.
Government Has First Call
The Government has not obligated
itself to buy the clip, but does have
first call upon any portion it requires
and it will allot the balance of the
wool to mills throughout the country,
such balance to be made use of for
civilian purposes.
The Boston prices of as of July 30,
1917, are net to the grower, except
| that he is to pay transportation
/ charges to the Atlantic seaboard and
interest on such advancement as may
| be made to him at the time of ship
ment
The dealers are to be permitted to
make charge of 3 per cent of the
selling nrice if the wool is not graded,
and 3h per cent if it is graded.
This commission is to cover all stor-
age, carriage, and insurance. The com
mission charge is to be added to the
price of the wool as it leaves the
dealers hands.
Blaaxet Advanced to Growers.
The dealers are arranging to make
blanket advance to the growers at
the time the wool is shipped, the bal
ance of the price of the wool to be
paid to the growers when the wool is
sold and delivered by the dealer.
Speculation or any form Of buying
directly or indirectly is to be prohibit
ed. The dealers in wool will be APP
proved by the war Industries Board
anu no uppTONeu uedieI VIII pS ulioN-
ed to buy wool nor will be allowed Ia
take on consignment more than can
be stored and expediously graded and
transferred TO the mills.
Economy in Shipping
All shipments will be made in such
manner as to effect the greatest
economy in transportation and time.
After the wool is in the hands Of the
dealers and graded it will be valued
by a government valuation committee
The wool growers, the wool dealers
and the woolen manufacturers will
each be represented on a government
committee which will take charge OF
the details of operation.
A method of handling wool in the
fleece, wool sections and other sec
tions where the clip is small is now be
ing worked out which will probably
allow selling in small lots. This plar
will be made public as soon as it Il
definitely decided upon.
Full Schedule Of Prices
A full schedule of prices will be dis
tributed without delay by the WOO
trade associations, or can be obtaine'
: from the Wool Division Of the War In
dustries Board.
