Falls From Wagon and is
Killed

James Bogart, an employee of
the Corralitas Cattle Company,
fell from a company wagon in
which he was hauling cotton
seed cake Wednesday night near
the Hardin ranch on the Duncan
road and was killed The wagon
evidently passed over the body.
An automobile party passing later
on discovered the man lying in
the road and friends here were
notified. The remains were
brought in about midnight.
One supposition is that Bogart
was walking along the road and
a passing automobile hit him.
This however is not confirmed.

LUNCHEON UNDER AUSPICES
OF WOMAN'S CLUB

Monday noon, at the X. of p. hall,
the second luncheon for the members
Of the Lordsburg Chamber of Com
merce was given by the Lordsburg
Woman's club. Twenty-Five men were
in attendance.
An excellent luncheon was given
consisting Of sandwiches, salad,
pickles and olives, coffee and pie.
The ladies' worked hard to make the
meal a success and certainly made
good. Their kindness was acknowl-
edged in many ways by those attend
ing, both in the way the food was
slowed away and in the compliments
extended afterward
j. H. Fitzpatrick was toastmaster
for the after-dinner talks. City At
torney A. w. Morningstar gave an
explanation of the occupation tax law,
quoting the New Mexico statutes.
This was done in order that the bust
ness men would more fully under
stand the position of the city in col
lecting these licenses and so that the
members could inform others. Mr.
Morningstar went into detail and left
no point untouched. His talk will
have much effect in the future occu-
patton license collection and discus
sion.

HippOdrOme Shows Here We'd

Christy shows this year are the PICK
from the biggest shows in this coun-
try; if you don't feel good, visit the
show. The clowns will wake you up
One of the undisputed features
with the Christy shows playing here
Wednesday, April 2rd, is Prof. Pear
sley, Sandow's only rival. This mus
cular giant pulls the combined
strength of sixteen men selected from
the audience at every performance;
a miracle only ever duplicated by
Sandow. Don't fail to see the per-
fection of muscular development.
Golden's Peerless Military Ponies
show almost human intelligence,
prancing, dancing and waltzing,
through their numerous difficult tests y;
years of patient training has finally
developed this group of little beauties
into the finest troup of performers in
the country; they are certainly a
great delight to the kiddies in every
city visited by the Christy shows
every child visiting the shows will be
allowed to ride one of the ponies free
of charge.
The Peasley family of aerialists
five in number, present a series of
sensationalism in the lofty peaks of

This will be the ticket to be
voted upon Tuesday, April End,
at the justice of the peace office
here. The ballots have been
closed and no further nomina-
tions may be placed upon the
ticket according to the New
Mexico Australian ballot system.
The voting will be done in booths
and official ballots will be hand
ed the voters when they enter
the compartments. The old style
of voting other people is done
away with now.
One of the regrettable featur-
es or the election is that all of
the men on the ticket for coun-
men cannot be elected. Some
one man has to be left out.
Every candidate is good and true
to the city. All five of them
would make good trustees. The
ticket is non-partisun and only
for the interest of Lordsburg.
Let every citizen go to the
polls on Tuesday and cast his
ballot for those four men which
he may feel to be the more
qualified.

A BIG JOB AHEAD

The virtual end of the greatest war
in history came Monday morning at
six O'Clock, when Germany accepted
the armistice terms offered by the
Allies.
But if anyone imagines the job is
over, he never made a greater mis-
take in his life.
If our BOYS begin to come home in
six months it will be surprising. 1t
will not be surprising if the begin
ming of their return in great numbers
is year ahead.
There is a tremendous task ahead
of our soldiers and our war work So
cieties in restoring order in war-rav-
aged Europe, in feeding the starved
population, and in rehabilitating in
some degree the devastated country.
Further; the task ahead of our
statesmen in framing just peace, is
a momentous one, and cannot be hur-
ried through. 1t will take several
months, undoubtedly, and the war
cannot be considered as over until
peace is signed.
Incidentally, we must go into this
campaign to raise funds for our Unit
ed War Work societies just the same
as if the war was to go on. We must
finish the great work of America in
the war by giving these societies the
funds to carry on their work, which
will be fully as much needed in the
next twelve months as in the past.
Let is hold fast, and finish well tho
job so well begun.
