Death of Mine Manager

|. T. Dewey manager of the
Lawrence Mining company, oper-
atisg the Bonney mine, died after
a brief illness of pneumonia,
which later resulted in mening-
tits, at the Bonney camp, Tues
day afternoon, Jan. 1st. The
remains were taken to Ell Paso,
Wednesday afternoon for inter
ment. Deceased is survived by
a wife and two daughters.
|. T. Dewey came to LorGsburg
as manager of the Lawrence Min
ing company about eight months
ago. He was a native of Penn
sylvania, but for the past fifteen
years had been Mexico, coming
to FL Paso after the severe Mexi-
can outbreaks. He was an ex-
perienced and expert mining man
familiar with all the branches of
the mining business. His work
at the Bonney mine had been
most efficient, and he had made
a large number of friends both
among his employees and the peo-
pie of Lordsburg and vicinity.
He was taken down on last
Thursday with pneumonia. All
medical aid was given him, but
it was impossible to save his life
and he finally expired on Tuesday
evening.
To his wife and two daughters
who survive him, the sympathy
of the community is extended.
Drs. Crocker and De Moss were
called into consultation, and two
trained nurses were constantly
at the bedside of Mr.. Dewey un-
til death came.

HOarding Of Food Most UnlOyal Act Interesting
Statement OF Administrator

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Jan. 8. If
you don't want to help the Hohen-
zollerns, don't try to hoard food.
Nobody is going to starve in
America, if the human squirrels
and pack-rats don't try to be
misers and smuggle all the food
Oft to secret caches to keep some
one else from getting it like a
dog burying a bone.
When you hoard food you are
directly helping to embarrass and
demoralize the governments eff
orts to regulate and steady the
food supply and food prices. and
are obstructing the work of win
ming the war.
An emphatic warning against
boarding, which is going on in
New Mexico today despite all
that has been said about it, was
issued today by State Food Ad-
ministrator Ralph C. Ely.
The first function of the u. S.
Food Administration, said the
Food Administrator, lis the es-
sential one of providing food for
our own people. The second is
to provide food for our allies.
What the allies will get is what
the American people voluntarily
go without. Our supply is safe
and assured. 1t is up to us what
our allies shall receive. Hoard
ing directly jeopardises our own
supply.
IF instead of buying a sack of
flour the consumer buys a barrel,
and a sack of sugar instead of a
dollars worth, he doesn't affect
the annual demand, but he has a
serious effect on the monetary
demand. He helps to bring about
a shortage and a delicate situa-
ton. In war times like these,
markets are disturbed, and specu-
lators are rampant. The Food
Administration is trying TO elm
mate the speculator. The person
who buys successively creates a
feverish condition and a local
disturbance, and thus helps to
create a field for the speculator
and plays into his hands.
1t is impossible to realize with
out intimate knowledge of condi-
tions and prices what great saw
ings have already been accom-
plished. But despite the efforts
of the Food Administration,
prices are bound to be high.
Money has been pouring into
the country for munitions and
war supplies. The circulating
medium has increased tremen-

Asks For Weed

Is it for us to question the
desire of the man who is fighting
for us? Is it for us to deny him
the cheapest and simplest of
pleasures when already he has
sacraficed so much? Is it for us
to refuse to contribute a trivial
amount for the benefit of the
man who has mortaged his life
to William Hohenzollern?
His day isa day of cataclysm;
his night is a night of judgement
A million times between sunrise
and sunrise his life is strung on
the width of an inch, and he
knows 1t. AS payment he could
ask us for so much. Yet as it is
he asks us for so little---and he
says that no matter what we
think, no matter what anyone
thinks, just now he would rather
have tobacco than anything else.

Sad Death Of Nick Powers

1t was with deepest regret and
sympathy news was received in
Lordsburg the last of the week
from Brockman, located on the
A. & M. M. railroad, between this
city and Hachita, that Nick Pow
ers had died after sustaining in
juries when he was caught in the
clutch of one of the big oil-burn-
ing engines in the pumping plant
where he had been employed for
the past fifteen years. The acci-
dent occurred on December 29th.
N. +. Powers (better known to
the people of this section as
Nick" was born April A, 1886.
For years he lived in Arizona,
and came to New Mexico over Is
years ago, being employed all
that time by the Arizona and
New Mexico Railroad company
in the capacity of pumpman. He
was a faithful and loyal employe,
and was held in the highest
esteem of the company and all
who knew him. Nick Powers
was a good, honest and true citi-
zen and will be missed by hun
dreds of friends in New Mexico
and Arizona.
He is survived by a wife and
two daughters, Mary and Oma-
zell, and one son, Charles. In
terment was made at Tucson the
first of the week. Deceased was
a member of the K. of 2. and
Oddfellows lodges of this city.
To the bereft the deepest sympa-
thy Of the community is ex-
tended.
The Western Liberal loses one
of its best friends and oldest sub
scribers in the death Nof Nick
Powers. He was a member of
the Liberal family for many
years and always had word of
cheer for the boys in the office. "

Excitement at Stems

Stems was alive with excite
ment on last Friday, and it was
rumored several men had been
killed. However only two men
were injured in a gun fight and
both will recover.
Special Officer L. d. Walters
of the Southern Pacific and Con-
stable Oscar Allen were called to
Stems on the case and arrested
Guermillo Gonzales. 1t is stated
that Gonzales had planned an at
tack on Foreman Jose Sabala of
the S. P, and went to the latter's
home to start trouble. " Sabala
had learned of the mans alleged
threats and was prepared for
him. When an altercation ensued
between the two men Saba drew
his revolver and shot. The gun
caught in his coat and he shot
himself through the right thigh.
While falling he aimed and shot
Gonzales through the left thigh.
Both men were taken to the hos
pital at Tucson. Gonzales had
evidently made an attempt to
shoot the foreman as a bullet was
found jammed" In his revolver.
Several other Mexicans were i'm
plicated in an evident 'frame-up"
against Sabala, but for lack of
incriminating evidence they were
not arrested.

dously which always means cheap
money; the great issue of bonds,
even though interest-bearing Sc
curities, so far as economic con-
ditions are concerned, operate
the same as corresponding in
crease i'm the circulating medium,
as they are to a great extent used
like money and passed from hand
to hand in payment of indebted
ness. These conditions, aside
from the actual war, help make
prices high. They should be
borne in mind not only in con-
nection with food, but coal and
other products and in measuring
wages.
THE food administration urges
all persons who are patriotically
inclined not to attempt to buy in
unusually large quantities. The
merchants are urged not to sell
in such large quantities. The
Food Administration has held
down the price of sugar, canned
goods and many other necessities.
There is no reason to be uneasy.
The supply will at all times be
adequate for the American con-
sumer. No wheat will be sent
abroad that is needed for home
consumption. All shipments of
wheat that are made in any one
month will consist of the Ameri-
can peoples savings of the pre-
vious month over normal con-
sumption. The same is true of
sugar and other necessities. Peo-
pie are expected to eat what they
want; better, what they need;
save what they can, and with
those savings help win the war.
"Hoarding disturbs local con-
ditions, and the effect spreads
like a ripple in a pond. 1t makes
the work of the Food Admins
tration more difficult; makes diff
cult the estimating of normal
consumption in the month past
or the month to come, and works
directly against the objects that
the Food Administration is try
idg to accomplish. 1t defeats its
own ends and is both foolish and
unpatriotic. 1t imperils the sue
cess of the whole food-saving
propaganda, and thus imperiIs
the success Of the war, which is
to be won by food; not the food
which the government withholds
from us, but that which we vol
unfairly save. "
