One hundred women a day come CO.

number OF women handled daily by
the Travellers Aid. the number regis

the state bureau and other employ
mcnt agencies.
One hundred women a day. $4,000 a
year. a fraction over four every hour:
approximately one every time the min
ute hand crosses the fifteen minute
mark.
Mr.. Barns estimates that large per-
centage Of career seekers come from up
state and towns about New York and
New Jersey. Probably 80 per cent. he
says, come from western states. The
smallest portion Of the number comes
from the south. Some succeed: more

Wasting food now means privation

frightened by the waste from an
American home.
You are saving food not for the
comfort OF others but for Your Own
comfort. The war cannot be sue

serve, and failure In the war will
mean Your discomfort.
Eating war bread Is not fad. 1t IL
true patriotic service In the inter-
ests Of Your fighting men and OF food

Our Allies are by proxy our own
representatives on the fighting front
aud we must think Of their needs in
food as we'll as those Of our own men
and ourselves. They are looking TO
the United States for true patriotism
and assistance.
II you have food conserving plan

In Defence of Our Own

Carrizozo's business men are
of the best that flesh and blood
can produce; anxious and ready
to lend their assistance to any
thing that will benefit our COM
munity and insure our prosperity,
but they must guard the doors
of the future, so that they es-
cape the "snare of the fowler, I"
and know that their money is in 4.
vested in enterprises that bear
the stamp of absolute certainty.
Our business men are always
ready to pledge themselves with
their sacred honor and backed
by their pocketbooks, for any
thing that will promotes our pub
lie good, and we need not be
accused of wronging anyone
when we say, that in the future
we must avoid the false prophets
and not exercise so much i'm
plicit confidence in those we
know so little Of.

MIKE BARNETT TO The

ESCORT
c rrizozo Again Honored by
Our mike" Being One of
the Crew to Take Pres
ident Wilson to France.

The news over the wires that
President Wilson sailed an Tues
day. Dec. Bird. on the good ship
George Washington, with a
picked crew, one of which was a
Carrizozo boy, and that boy was
Mike Barnett. In choosing a
crew for such an important event
as conveying the President of
the greatest country on earth to
a foreign land. great care was
exercised in the selection Of the
men.
Inspectors who had spent years
in the service, carefully sounded
all prospective members of the
crew, for they were to be of the
proper grit and material, sound
in principle and loyal to the core.
The Inspectors found their work
easy when they came to Mike,
for he answered in every man.
ner to the satisfaction of the
governments inspectors having
this work in their hands. In
asmuch as the Presidents trip
is interesting the public mind
just now, Carrizozo may be
proud of the fact one of her boys
has been selected among the
chosen crew to pilot the head
of the Nation across the big seas.
Well done, Mike, the Outlook
congratulates you; and the
townspeople in general are proud
of you.

New Mexico Iron
And Steel Com
pany Meet
Representative Gillenwater
Reports he is to Take
Over Interests of ROber-

Directors May Follow.

The meeting Of the stockhold-
ers of the New Mexico Iron d
Steel Corp, that was advertised
for Dec. 9Th was held with Mr..
Gillenwater Of Texico acting as
representative for Mr.. Robertson.
Mr.. Clearwater, it seems, is
to take over the interests of Mr..
Robertson, and in view of that
fact, asked that a new organiza-
ton be effected. The stockhold-
ers are still in session as we go
to press, but tits not likely that
they will take kindly to this
scheme as Mr.. Gillenwater ex-
planned it.
1t seems that the stockholders
will demand a full and complete
report from Mr.. Robertson, of
how the funds which our bus.
mess men have paid into the
company have been disposed of,
which is the one thing in reason
for Mr. Robertson to do. His
failure TO be present according
to agreement. has caused much
comment. and the outcome OF
the affair will be looked forward
to, with much interest.

Lights and Shadows

Under the leadership Of Mr..
ID s. Donaldson, the Methodist
church people have installed a
string of lights from the church
across the vacant space over to
Main street. This convenience
should greatly add 10 the at
tendance at the revival meetings
that are now in progress. 1t
will do more; II perhaps will
serve as a tempting morsel to a
couple of business men who on
a certain dark night stumbled
about over clumps of soap weed,
until an angel Of charity hap
pened along with a lantern and
led the way to the nearest cleo
trio light.
If our honorable gentlemen of
the City Council could have had
that experience, lights would
abound, and shadows would dis
appear and men would not suf-
fer so quickly from a fall from
grace, after being refreshed
and enlightened by a coed ser.
