Service Comes First
r RIENDS of each Of the three Bcrnalillo county
r. commissioners elect are urging special claims

TRiENDS of each Of the three Bcrnalillo county
commissioners elect are urging special claims
upon the chairmanship of the board. There are
excellent arguments in favor of each of the mem
bers. All are quite competent to perform oil the
duties of the Craftsmanship. Mr.. Metzgar has had
considerable experience on the board, Mr.. Gutierrez
represents the farming aud livestock interests of
the northern part of the county, and DR.. Wylders
capacity for the post is well known.
The new county board. however, should keep
in mind in choosing \ chairman that the public
service and the public business come first and that
convenience in tranSacting county business is as
important to the success of the commission as is ac-
feasibility TO his customers 10 the success of the
merchant. Both Mr.. Mctzgar and Mr.. Gutierrez
live in the country. The chairman of the county
commission should be where he can be reached
at amy and all times. Few days pass when he is not
in demand for some detail of public service. The
matter may seem of not great public importance,
but in its relation to the county business from day
TO dPy il is of considerable Importance, as will be
found il II mistake is made.
One Of the elements that has contributed to the
highly satisfactory service of the county commits
sion during the past few years has been the fact
that its chairman, Mr.. Grunsfeld. has been avail
able ut all times diving business hours. for atten-
ton To the public business. DR.. Wyldcr'S residence
in Albuquerque will put him in the same position
aud il is certainly 10 he hoped, as a matter of public
convenience, that he will be chosen 10 head the
new county board.

Services at the Front.

The Salvation Army now has twenty
huts and seventy-five workers. Sixty of
them are at the front and forty-five are
women. Several Of these remained under
shell fire until they were ordered to leave.

marched in from an abandoned French
dance hall. which was used for meeting

whose choruses were taken up by deeper
threats. Many of the soldiers crowded
into the darkened hall. The unceasing
rumble of nearby artillery furnished an
unusual accompaniment to the services.
The organization needs increased
transportation equipment, such as trucks
and light automobiles, to bring flour and
sugar to make the pies, cookies and
doughnuts, which are so popular with
the soldiers. The men and the lassies
are not paid for their services, except
that they are given an allowance for
modest living expenses. When they have
dependents at home, their expenses are
partly paid.

Sideights on the War
OLIVER OWEN KUHN.

Baron Won Rechthofen, Germany's
greatest flier, who was killed some
time ago in battle, boosted that he
never had been wounded. Once bull
let passed through both boots. An
other time a bullet passed through his
mufi1er, and on one occasion bullet
followed his coat sleeve along the line
of his arm, but did not break the skin.

the size of the expenses allowed. Maj.
Atkins is taking the place Of a regular
regimental chaplain who has returned to

the first-line trenches. and on more than
one occasion has volunteered to do
stretcher-bearer work. bringing back
wounded from no mans land.
Capt. Asa Libry of Philadelphia is

his own hands in burying the dead.
Two sisters, Eva and Gladys Mcintyre
