RED CROSS
NOTES. S.........


A Red Cross dance was given
Saturday night at the
Knights of Pythias hall. A large
crowd was present who enjoyed
the music furnished by the sold
iers from Hachita. The total
receipts were forty-seven dollars
and fifty cents. Of this sum
twenty dollars went for expenses
leaving a profit for the Red
Cross of twenty-seven dollars
and a half.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick was elected
by the committee to fill the va
cancy left by the death of Mr..
Bush on the ways and means
committee. There is still anoth-
er vancy on this committee made
by Mr.. Wheeler's leaving town.
This will be filled at a later date.
Socks? Please do not mention
socks to any Of the Lordsburg
knitters. After most painstak-
ingly knitting nine pairs of socks
and sending them in, great was
the astonishment Of the Red
Cross ladies when it was report
ed that they were all too large?
to fit the largest men.
Will YOU lend your machine
to the Red Cross? One of the
greatest needs of the Red Cross
at present is sewing machines.
Many more ladies might be work.
ing every Red Cross day if only
there were more machines. The
Military Relief Committee re-
quests that any one who can
spare a sewing machine will end
it to the Red Cross room. It's
use will be greatly appreciated
and the best of care will be TAX
en- of it.
The Red Cross auction and ba-
zaar given at Valedon on April
16, netted the Red Cross $3.50. 90
clear. Indeed a splendid contri-
button. The hall that night was
decorated with red white and
blue. On entering the hall each
one was presented with a large
red feather. Mr.. Clark was the
auctioneer and auctioneered off
chickens, dogs, pigs, and every
thing in sight. At the fancy
work booth the beautiful hand
embroidered pillow won by Mr..
Brown netted the Red Cross $40.
The ladies of Valedon wish to
again thank all the business men
who so generously donated and
helped to make the affair a sue
cess.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND
WESTERN ARIZONA EXPERI-
ENCE EARTHQUAKE.

All of southern California and a
part of western Arizona and Utah
were shaken on Sunday, April 2lst,
at 1882 p. m, by an earthquake which
wrecked virtually all buildings and
residences i'm Hemet and San Jacinto,
two inland towns forty-fve miles
southeast of Riverside, Cal, and
caused minor property damage in
practically every town and city.
The severity of the shock seemed
greatest inland, but it was distinctly
apparent at nearly every point over
California south from a line from
BaTstow to the coast and in some
parts of Arizona, although no dam
age was reported there.
In Los Angeles and vicinity the
damage was apparent mainly in
broken windows.
At San Benardino the quake was
said by old residents to be the worst
of years. Scores of plate glass win
dOws were broken, a hundred feet OF
brick wall from one low building fel
into the street, and cracks developed
in several other walls.
The quake, which came with sucl
warning as was afforded by a brief
iigha shock lasting perhaps ten sec
Onds, was the most severe ever eX-
perienced here. For thirty seconds

the purpose of performing farm labor,
and such absence, while actually en-
gagged in farm labor, shall upon com
pliance with the trems of this act. be
counted as constructive residence
Provided, That each settler or entry
man within fifteen days after leaving

The Towns Clean Up

The committee appointed to
engineer the towns cleanup"
reports a splendid response from
the people in general, both as to
work done and money donated.
Some few land owners and ten
ants have refused to help, which
is to be regretted, as there's little
use in one cleaning unless all do
so, as the trash blows from
street to street. There are a
number of vacant lots that need
attention. These have been re-
gular dumping grounds for all
kinds of unhealthy and insight
ly junk. Don't let the commit
tee have to look up the owner
and urge them to clean these
lots, but get busy with rakes and
shovels, pile all the trash up
neatly and either have it hauled
away yourself or pay something
to the committee in charge to
have it done. Don't be afraid
of trespassing on your neighbors
grounds. Don't argue the ques-
tion-get together and neighbor
meet neighbor. Rake all in
sight, in yards, streets and al
leys. Our mayor has set a STAN
dard for us. Let us meet it
work everybody-pull together
and clean Lordsburg,
Don't forget the rakes pur-
chased by the Womens Club for
community service in street
cleaning. Call at Mrs. Listers
