GARMENT MAKERS MUST
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS

Workers must read directions is
sued on garment making. In very
short time all Chapters will be sent
new allotments Of garment work,
both hospital and refugee. The
Mountain Division wishes to appeal
TO the women in charge of sewing
in all Red CROSS organizations to see
that those doing the work read di-
rections carefully. In our last allot-
ment there were large number of
chemises, and the instructions stated
clearly to run tape in the casing for
draw strings, making two eyelets at
the middle front two inches apart.
Many chemises were returned to
headquarters simply hcmmed around
the neck, with no draw strings. This
is only one example 1t would mean
very great expense to return all
such garments to Chapters, so the
workers have been compelled at Di-
vision headquarters to make these
small alterations in order to bring
the garments up to the require
ments.
Great effort is being made to see
that instructions are enclosed in each
package of cut garments.
If any discrepancy in count or
cutting is found in the package Of
cut garments, which should be open
ed and carefully checked immediate
ly upon its receipt piece of the
material and a statement as to what
is lacking should be sent to head
quarters Immediately, that the diff
ficulty may be adjusted.--A. R. c.

STATE TEACHERS MEET
CERTAIN TO DRAW BIG
CROWD DEC. 26, u, AND 28

81 assure you l will make an ef-
fort to have all Santa Fe county
teachers present at our Educational
Association, said Mrs. A. Otcro-
Warren, Superintendent of Schools
of Santa Fe County. in letter re-
ceived by Superintendent John Milne
of Albuquerque, Secretary of the
Teachers Association.
Mrs. Warren is Railroad Secretary
of the New Mexico Educational As
sociation, but as the Government will
not grant reduced rates Mrs. Warren
is advocating the use OF the auto
mobile as means of getting to and
from the convention at Albuquerque
December 26 u and 28. II the ad-
vancement of the Santa Fe county
schools under her direction and man
agement can be used as a measure of
Mrs. Warren's ability as an execu-
tive, Albuquerque will not only have
the largest crowd OF teachers in the
history OF the association, but the
city will also have to care for the
largest number of cars ever assembled
in the city.
Other reports reaching the Depart
nent of Education indicate that
large delegations are coming from
all parts of the state, and it is not
improbable that the majority of the
teachers viii travel by the automobile
route. Suitable arrangements will
be made to care for the cars no mat
ter how many come.
The convention program is being
whipped into shape. Programs for
the sectional meetings are coming in
speakers are being booked for the
general program, and everything is
progressing in fine shape.
The Chamber of Commerce recent
ly invited the State Federation Of
Womeu's Clubs to meet in Albuquer-
que during the teachers convention.
The general meetings Of the teach
ers will occupy but one half of each
day, the other half being given over
to sectional conferences. II the
women would arrange their program
to occupy the part of the day not
devoted to the general teachers meet
ings. this would leave an opportunity
for visiting back and forth.

RED CROSS WORK
MUST NOT CEASE

"On February 10 last year, nearly
weeks before the United States de-
clared war, National Red Cross head
quarters advised its Chapters to pre-
pare for war. That which has fol-
lowed in the record of the Red Cross
in helping to win this war and to
relieve the suffering growing out of
it constitutes something of which
every American citizen has a right
to be proud. Every American Red
Cross worker must feel sense OF
gratitude in having had a share in
it all
"lhe moment is now come to pre-
pare for peace. Actual peace may
come at any moment; it may be def
erred for some time. Until peace
is really here there can be no relax
alton in any Red Cross effort Incl
dent to active hostilities.
But, even with peace, let no one
suppose that the work of the Red
Cross is finished. Millions of Amer-
can boys are still under arms.
Thousands of them are sick or
wounded. Owing to the shortage in
shipping, it may take year or more
to bring our boys home from France
But, whatever the time, our protect
ing arms must be about them and
their families over the whole period
which must elapse before the nor
NAL life of peace can be resumed
Our soldiers and sailors are en-
listed until the Commander-in-C Chief
tells them there is no more work
for them to do in the war. Let
every Red Cross member and worker
show our returning soldiers and sail
ors that, to care for their health,
welfare and happiness, we are en-
listed for no less a period than they
are.
THE cessation of war will reveal
a picture of misery such as the world
has never seen before, especially in
the many countries which cannot
help themselves. The American peo-
pie will expect the Red Cross to
continue to act as their agent in
repairing broken spirits and broken
bodies. Peace terms and peace con-
ditions will determine how we may
best minister to the vast stricken
areas which have been narrowed by
war, and in this great act of mercy
the heart and spirit Of the American
people must continue to be mobiliz-
ed through the American Red Cross.
"On behalf of the War Council,
we accordingly ask each member of
our splendid body of workers
throughout the land to bear in mind
the solemn obligation which rests
upon each one to carry on We
cannot abate one instant in our ef-
forts or in our spirit, There will be
an abundance of work to do, and
specific advces will be given, but
even at the moment of peace let no
Red Cross worker falter.
"Our spirits must now call us to
show that it is not the roar of can
non or the blood Of our own alone
that directs our activities, but that
a great people will continue to res
pond greatly and freely to its obliga-
tion and opportunity to serve man
kind.
(Signed) THE WAR COUNCIL OF
THE AMERICAN RED CROSS"

SUNSHINE VALLEY TRAD.
ING CO., CASE IN COURT

A decision in case reported from
Chicago, of interest to people in
Northern Taos county has just been
rendered in the Municipal Court of
that city. In the summer OF 1917, a
few Chicago stockholders represent
ing about quarter of the stock
in the Company filed a suit there
charging Mel J. P. Straub with mis-
management and misappropriation
and claiming damages OF $500 Mr.
Straub's shares in the Company
were levied upon by an attachment
writ, and an effort made to bring
the case to trial before Mr.. Straub
could reach Chicago to attend the
trial. When Mr.. Straub first got
to Chicago in October, the case was,
over the objections of his attorneys,
continued until January 1918, neces-
stating the making of another long
trip by Mr.. Straub. In January, the
plaintiff was again not ready and the
case was continued from time to
time. Finally, the plaintiff was
forced to trial, and the case oc-
cupied several days, during which
all the books and records of the
Company were gone over and testi-
mony was heard at length. The
court rendered its decision, giving
judgment in favor of Mr.. Straub,
and thus completely exonerating him
from the charges made against him.
The report says: "the victory was
all the more notable as Mr.. Straub
was compelled to fight on the
enemy's ground where they had all
their materials in readiness, while
much evidence that would have been
of value to Mr.. Straub was in New
Mexico. The suit, in fairness. should
have been brought in New Mexico
where the property and business of
the Company is located, and where
all the facts would have been readily
ascertainable. Holders of about
of the stock filed in
court their written statement that
the suit was brought without their
knowledge and was unfounded."
"Mr. Straub has now brought suit
upon the attachment bond filed in
the former suit for damages. and IN
tends to see that the parties res
ponsible for the unfounded case
against him are made to reimburse
him for expenses and time. 1t is
hoped he will be as successful as
in the earlier case"

PERSHINC TRIBUTE WEEK
WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
NEXT DRIVE FOR CASH

East Las Vegas, Nov l6.-Millions
OF americans propose to unite dur
ing Thanksgiving week in a practical
Thanksgiving tribute to General
Pershing and his two million Ameri-
can soldiers in France. Thanks Civ
ing week will be known throughout
the nation as lershing Tribute
Week, and during that time the name
of every person who buys a War
Savings Stamp will be sent to Cen
eral Pershing as a Christmas greet
ing to the boys over there.
In announcing this campaign this
week, Hallett Reynolds, director of
War Savings for New Mexico. is
urging every county War Savings
chairman and worker and all citizens
to unite in this effort. 1t is felt
that it is the most practical form
of tribute that the American nation
can pay to Pershing and his men,
and that they will appreciate it more
than any other. 1t will be the final
indication that Americans are will
ing to back their appreciation with
their dollars at time when the
needs money more than
at any time in its history. There
will be no time for the organization
of extensive campaigns to committee
but it is believed that every
New Mexican will be ready to cons
titute himself a committee of one
and to see that his name goes on
the list with millions Of other Ameri-
cans that will be sent to Pershing
and his men.
New Mexico is still S. 0OO,OOOOO
short on its War Savings quota. It
is the only war effort in which the
state has failed to go over the top.
It is hoped that the Pershing Tri-
butte Week may go far in making
up the difference.

CAPITOL EXTENSION BOND
ISSUE APPEARS LOST NOW

Incomplete election returns from
over the state tend to show that
the proposed amendment to the
constitution, calling for a bond issue
of 100000 for building an extension
to the state capitol building has
been lost at the polls. Though the
need of more room is felt at the
statehouse, and though both party
charmen endorsed the bond issue
in published statements during the
campaign. it is thought the indivi-
dual voters were not made to un-
derstand the necessity. The natural
desire for economy during war times
was probably factor.
