Dear Sir:-As one of Cadet
Kenneth L. Mathews best
friends l beg to report his death,
which occurred on Feb. %.
The cause of the accident is
unknown. but is believed to have

controls, which caused him to
fall from an elevation of 5000
feet.
AS an aviator he was one of
the fields most promising pros
poets, and his untimely death is
deeply regretted in flying circles
in this section.
| have heard your name men
toned by Mr.. Mathews on sever
al occasions, and happened to
find your address in a letter
among his personal belongings.
Respectfully yours,

r. l.. Strong, Estancia, N. M.
Bean contracts not coming in
from New Mexico as they should,
Less than ten percent of New
Mexico growing contracts re-
ceived. 1t is very important
that we get at least seventy-five
percent of the New Mexico beans
contracted for in the next few
few days. Unless New Mexico
growers sign up with Colorado
growers plan will fail. 1t will
mean big loss to growers. Do
not stop getting contracts March
first, continue until advised fur
ther from this office. Also advise
growers that food administration
will start to move beans as soon
as are sure plan will go through.
Chances are growers will not
have to wait long for their mon
ey. Advise me fully by wire.

Estancia, New Mexico.
February 25th, 1918.
My dear Friends
| arrived here a week ago, and
found a valley of nice land 40
miles wide and 80 miles long,
and mostly good land and some
extra fine, hatgrows everything,
alfalfa, corn, beans are the big
crop. Potatoes and cabbage the
finest and all kinds of vegetables.
l saw a herd of $50 white faced
cattle yesterday that has no feed
except pasture on native grass,
that is good beef and young
calves coming thick. No cattle
here dying that hear of.
The Santa Fe railroad runs
on the south side of the valley,
and the New Mexico Central
runs north and south through it.
This valley has splendid water
with many springs and lakes,
and good wells of nice clear
water, and no better anywhere
that | have seen. There is a
fine class Of people here, mostly
from Kansas, Oklahoma and
Texas. Some from Kentucky,
Illinois and other states. Some
from California also. l don't
see any reason why this land
wont become worth at least $40,
$50, and $1O0 per acre within a
few years; just like Kansas and
Oklahoma and all other good
new countries, and can be bought
from $40 to $50 per acre the very
best land, four to ten miles from
Estancia and Mountainair, with
good roads for a new country.
Some of this land has good alfal-
ia and some prairie grass for
hay. Native grass the very best
for hay. They raise millet and
all kinds of feed here, for they
have most of the years rain in
July and August, just when the
crops need it the most. l have
seen several nice little orchards
and the trees look nice and
thrifty. There is any amount of
wood and posts in the mountain
foothills, the wood for hauling,
and the posts for about five cents,

Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Rapkocl
have returned from an automo
bile trip of a weeks duration
touring the southern part of tn,
state and visiting in Belen ant
Albuquerque. Mrs. Rapkoch il
the county treasurer.
New goods are being received
from Denver and being sent out
by our efficient supply commit
tee, over the county. That
means that the women of Tor
rance county are working for the
Red Cross and their country.
In recent letter from Denver,
headquarters of the Mountain
Division, they asked the local
chapter and all branches to SUBJ
stitute the bed jacket for the
shoulder wrap. The shoulder
wraps already sent were highly
acceptable and will be put to ex-
cellent use, but in the future
they suggest that we discontinue
making these garments.
They were very thankful for
the shipments already made and
hope to receive more such good
work from our county.
They also asked that old knit
ters confne their efforts to the
socks, sweaters and wristlets
from now on.
There are several women in
the county who are unable to go
to the work rooms and knitting
to them is an impossibility. Why
not make a layette for the Bel
gian and French refugee babies?
This can be done in your own
home at leisure moments. This
is really a noble work and so in
teresting for those especially
who have never been blessed
with wee tots of their own.
The people whom the Germans
are sending back to France con-
sist of the sick, the very old and
the very young, Among these
repatriates are thousands of ba-
bies. 1t ia to help keep these
babies alive and we'll that Amer
ican women are now asked to
make and give to the Red Cross
the layettes. Later you will be
invited to make for other refu-
gees such garments as can be
used.
There is nothing like a pack
age of warm clothing as a tangi-
BILE evidence of sympathy and a
desire to help. When the pack
age is for a little helpless baby,
brought into the world in the
midst of war, the satisfaction is
emphasized. The Red Cross be-
lieves that thousands of Ameri-
can women will gladly make one
or more infants outfits for
French and Belgian babies who,
if someone does not help, will
suffer terribly from cold and ex-
posure.
The women in Albuquerque
and in other places over the
state have for some time been
working on the layettes, with
excellent results.
1t is felt by the Red Cross that
there are few women in America
80 busy, or of such limited means
as not to be able to contribute to
this work, which must certainly
appeal to all.
The money for these layettes
is not furnished by the chapters.
This is done by a person or per-
sons. 1t is an extreme pleasure
