CHIEF POINTS AS DELINE.
ATED FROM ASTRONOMY

The war should end sometime during
the first half of 1918. The month of
March is a crucial time, and during its
days treaties may be signed affecting
commerce and peace.
A loss Of check to the Allies is pre-.
dicted for January, particularly af-
fecting Canada and the United States.
During the year the Negro question
Will confront the United States in
a more vivid form than ever before.
The states of the East coast may ex-
pect recurrence Of epidemics among
children, during spring and summer.
The western half of the United
States will suffer much from heat and
destructive storms.
Troubles will find incipiency involv-
ing the Philippines and Alaska, with
perhaps the West Indies featuring.
Excitement is shown to prevail in
February, June, August and Decem-
Der, for the United States, portion
Of which may be found in celebrations.
February is particularly fraught
with possibilities and indications. A
turn of the tide of affairs in the war
are indicated for this month (Febru-
ary) with the Allies assuming the
molding of world events.
In February are indicated disasters
for Russia, from which chaotic con-
ditions she will not emerge until 1929.
January is to bring trouble for the
German leaders, in revolts of the peo-
pie, with April and May finding these
troubles mounting to danger and dis
asters.
England will be benefited by the
tide of affairs during this spring, but
she will continue to be confronted with
Irish and economic problems.
Hungary will emerge from treaties
that will be to her credit Turkey S
ruler faces violence and possibly death.
A resume of the general forecast for
the United States shows an increase
in trade, prestige and an exalting posi-
tion among the nations Of the earth.
Believed to be the part the United
States will play in the settlement of
the war.
The political status shows widen.
ing in party differences with many in
vestigations leading to disagreeabIe
breaches among leaders.

STOCKMEN*k:iT HERE
IN INTERESTING SES.
SION THIS AFTERNOON

The New Mexico Stockmen's Asso-
citation met in Tucumcari today as was
announced, but owing TO the bad wea-
ther not many Of the local stockmen
were present.
A number of prominent men from
all parts of the state were here and
a number of good speeches were made
at the afternoon session held in the
auditorium at the court house. Among
the more prominent speakers were
Vic Culberson, vice president of the as
sociation whose home is at Fierro;
Uncle John Hicks of Cuervo, j. o.
Neafus of Las Vegas, 7. +. Mitchell
of Union County, o. o. Gragg of Nara
Visa. Miss Bertha Benson, secretary,
was present and acted in that capacity.
Many interesting subjects were dis
cussed, the main one being the benefits
derived from organization. Delegates
were selected to represent the State
of New Mexico at the National Con-
ference to be held at Salt Lake City
Jan. Ia, i5 and l6, 1918. Those Sc
lected were VIM. r. Morley, of Datil,
president of the state association; II.
l.. Hodge of Silver City, Geo. II. Web
ster of Cimarron, and NJ. A. Van
Houghton of Shoemaker.
The regular annual meeting will be
held in Las Vegas March l2, l3 and
ID, 1918. A number of new members
were added today and the organization
expects to be power for good in as
sisting the stockmen throughout the
state.
Members of the executive committee
were given special invitation by o.
o. Gragg and ROLAND c. Bell of Nara
Visa, to meet with them at Nara Visa
when their local association meets Feb.
4. Ex-Gov. W. c. Mcdonald and Col.
John Hicks have agreed to be present
at that time and address them on the
need of organization and other timely
topics. The state association as well
as the local associations are for the
advancement of the stock industry and
one OF the best ways is to introduce
new blood into the herds and gradually
work up to purebred stock or as near
to it as possible. This can be done
through the male more easily as he
is half the herd, although number
are buying pure bred females and dis
posing of their inferior stock. Range
stock is beginning to show the infusion
of new blood and New Mexico promises
to be one of the leading livestock states
in Che union.
The associations will work for bet
ter legislation and through the united
efforts of the members men will be
elected to the Legislature tnat will not
impair this great industry. Another
thing this association stands for is
pnesty of purpose. 1t will rid the
state entirely of the "rustle and tend
to make the stock industry business
fully protected by the laws of the state
and county.
This association should be supported
by all farmers and stockmen who wish
better conditions. Quay county is not
alive tc the needs and the great bene-
fits TO be derived from such an organ
ization but there were a number join
ed today who will spread the news to
their neighbors and before next year
Quay county will be represented by
majority of the largest stockmen in
Jhs part of the state.

ed, he responded with utter simple
ity and frankness."
AT this point the president emu
merated the fourteenth essentials of his
program.
The president occupied just % min
utes in delivering his address. The
visiting Serbian mission sat with the
members of the cabinet and joined in
the applause that greeted the declara-
ton for restoration of Serbia and the
freedom of the Balkan peoples. Each
statement of the program was greeted
with some applause as the president
read it, and there was no division Of
APPROVAL apparent between .he par
ties.

PrussiaD and Austrian greed ana

meeting broke up with fair prospects
that hOstilities would be resumed be-

After making all sorts of promises To
refrain from forcible unnexations und
to permit sclf-dciinition by occupied
territories, the Germans made II clerr
that they intend to impose an Aus
trian monarchy on Poland and 10
make German duchies out OF lithun-

was that these countries already have
declared their desire TO be severed
from Russia. Furthermore, they de.
clined to consider the evacuation Of
Riga. l.ibHu and other occupied cities
until certain that ull Russia sane
toned the peace.
Whether or not Lenine and Trotzky

for y great offensive on the west front,

". s. s. HONOR" WEEK

Plans for the observing of Honor
week throughout the state, from Oct.
% to Nov. 2, have been completed by
J. Fl. Puelicher, state director of War
Savings, who urges every citizen in the
state during this week to fulfill the
War Savings pledges made during the
week, ending June %, when the public
was asked to pledge themselves to pur-
chase a certain nu mber of War Savings
stamps each month from that time un-
til the end of the year.
During the Honor week observance,
State Director Puelicher expects all the
pledges to date to be taken up by those
who have made these pledges as we'll as
all delinquent pledges. The purpose of
this early buying of War Savings
stamps is in keeping with instructions
sent out from Washington with view
of preventing the heavy rush to pur-
chase the stamps during the busy holi-
day season when the postoffice employees
will be taxed to their full capacity by
the unusually heavy Christmas mail
matter.
