he has proved himself unworthy, and
II the former two sales have not en-
listed support in quarters where
strong support should have been ex-

To Protect Men
From Loan Sharks
at Camp Cody

Deming, ". NJ. Jan. 29.-Precau.
lions are being taken at Camp Cody
to prevent the soldiers being fleeced
as have been the men in several
other environments, by loan sharks.
Many Of the men feel at times In
need of ready money, and, as many
of them have Liberty Bonds, the
temptation to borrow on them is
great. The loan sharks are specialize
ing in loans on Liberty Bonds, CIV
ing men from half to three-quarters
of the face value of the bond and
charging as high as 10 per cent for
a short accommodation. Open mar
ket quotations on the bond carry
only a slight discount, while they
are worth the market price at any
reputable bank. These doubtless
would loan on them at a reasonable
rate. The military authorities who
urged soldiers to purchase the bonds
as a patriotic investment intend TO
protect them and to see that they
are not mulcted out of the bonds.

STATE EXPECTS AROUSED ciri-

GOOD CROPS WITH PATRIOTIC
uNSELFlsHNEs9

BY enlisting the services OF the
people Of the state, without compen-
sation, the New Mexico council OF
defense expects to make the money
appropriated for the destruction OF
noxious rodents accomplish a maxi
mum of results. As was stated yes
terday, the defense council and the
United States biological survey have
entered into a contract TO expend
$4,000 In a campaign against pre-
datory animals and rodents which
are a menace to crops and livestock.
OF the states $4,000 for the CAM
paign Of DISCRIMINATING wild animals,
no money will be expended for boun-
ties and the hides will become the
property of the state. Hunters I'M
der biological survey will do the kill
ing, and will make their first on
slaught against coyotes.
The money appropriated for use
against rodents, the states $15 5000,
at least, will go entirely for neces-
sary materials, mostly poisons. Mer-
chants in the vicinity where the
work is carried on will be requested
to furnish the necessary grain free
of cost. Lessees and buyers of state
lands will be required to cooperate
and poison rodents on their land that
lies in the region where operations
are being carried on. County coun-
ellis of defense where operations are
under way are expected to furnish
necessary labor without cost, to dis
tribute the poisons and the auto min
ute men Of the neighborhood will be
called upon for men and machines
for necessary transportation without
remuneration.
1t is the intention to distribute as.
Stance to the various counties as
the need and the circumstances will
dictate, In the event of lack OF CO.
operation, the proportionate contri-
button intended for any county may
be diverted to some county that is
more willing to assist.
Field Agent Piper of the biological
survey will go at once to Eddy coun-
ty, where he will begin, with the as
sistance Of six or eight men, the
war on prairie dogs. The county
council has promised the aid of so
men. so that the campaign should be
on quickly and thoroughly.
Governor Lindsey and Messrs.
Springer and Hernandez Of the state
council Of defense believe the cam
paign is a necessary one, and they
think II will result successfully.

To give an idea of the spirit Of the
