WHAT SAVING CAN DO.

Never in the history of this coun-
try we're the opportunities for
children making money so great as
the present. Any ten year old boy
or girl can these days earn dollars
where their parents when their ages
could not earn pennies.
There was never time when
children could save and safely invest
their earnings at so high a rate OF
interest as is provided for through
the medium of War Savings Stamps
which the Government is now sell
ing.
Any hustling and thrifty boy or
girl now in ward schools or in fact
any grade of the public school can
begin right now making and saving
pennies. nickels and dimes, invest
ing them in War Savings Stamps and
by the time they have finished their
high school course will have suffi-
cient money with which to pay one
or two years expenses through the
University, and the BOY OR GIRL
WHO DOES THIS IS WORTH a
DOZEN WHO WILL FOOLISHLY
SPEND THEIR EARNINGS AND
WAIT FOR DAD" TO FOOT THE

happy one but very unusual. There
are few who ever knew a banking

more favorable auspices or more
hearty good wishes for success. The
occasion took on something of the
character of holiday, and every
countenance reflected the satisfac-
ton felt over the happy outcome Of
an unfortunate situation.
A substantial MONDAY luncheon
was served to the stockholders and
their friends in the rear room OF
the bank, and the counting room
abounded in floral decorations. Every
one present congratulated every one
else, and the atmosphere was preg-
nant with good cheer and buoyant
optimism Even the officers and pa
irons of the competing bank mani
tested their courtesy and good vii,
by their presence.
There were stockholders present
from Carlsbad, Lakewood, Dayton
Lake Arthur. and Roswell. The new
bank starts out with capital Of
$4,000
The directors and officers of the
new bank are as follows:
Directors-E. A. Cahoon. II. P.

BIRTH OF BASKET BALL

Basketbalrs twenty-seventh birth
day finds the game flourishing as
never before, and crowding base ball
and track athletics for popular favor.
1t was over a quarter of century
ago, namely, January IS. 1892, that
the first match game of basket ball
was played, in Springfield, Mass,
between two class teams of the y.
M. c. A. training school The sport
was invented by DR.. J. Naismith, then
of the Springfield institution, but
now of the University of Kansas. II
is estimated that at least a quarter
of a million persons are playing
basket ball as members of a regular
club, and the sport has spread all
over the United States and Canada
and to Europe, South Africa and the
Far East In the early, days of the
game there were as many as twenty
men on a side, but since 1906 there
have been five to team. The rules
have been standardized of late
years, and basket ball in its improved
form, has become the great American
game.-Excerpt from The Davidson

ADJuDCED GUILTY
KELLY CASE WILL
NOW Be APPEALED
AFTER TRIAL OF NINE DAYS
ON ONE OF THIRTEEN IN
DICTMENTS JURY FINDS
BOND BROKER GUILTY IN
FIVE MINUTES

After nine days of trial bristling
with testimony that resulted in the
admission by the defense that bond
which was not genuine had been paid
to w. G. Kelly, the jury on Wed
nesday night after five minutes de-
clared the defendent guilty of OBJ
tanning &6O5 from the state board
of loan commissioners under false
pretensess in 1916
Evidence adduced tended to show
that a bond No. 1888 of a former
issue had been copied on a printing
plate, and a spurious territorial bond
with the number 254 presented by
Kelly through 4 local bank for pay
ment. It was proved that another
and authentic bond 2S4 had been
paid.
The methods of the former board
in approving board transactions in
dividually and subscribing to trans
actions carried on in their name by
a former deputy state treasurer Frank
Maroon. were established by both
defense and prosecution.
Attorney General O. o. Askren
whose argument before the jury re-
vcaled New Mex;co's new chief pro-
secutor a man of ability, was as.
sisted by former district attorney J
H. Crist who has been in the case
since the original thirteen indict-
ments were returned against Kelly
two years ago. Mr.. Askren in his
concluding argument intimated that
further prosecutions in connection
with fraudulent bonds purporting to
be Of the funding issue, Series c, OF
the old Santa Fe and Grant county
railway bonds, may be made.
Kelly is in the custody of the
sheriff, sentenced by Judge Brice to
four to five years, the maximum
penalty being five. His bond has
been placed at $4,000 and Catron and

COMMUNITY BUILDING

We heard a story recently which
illustrates a condition existing in
many of the smaller towns of 2,O0O
to l0000 population. The business
men Of county-seat town Of about
6,OOO population gave banquet to
the farmers of the county for the
purpose of helping to organize a
farm bureau to advance the agricul-
tural interests OF the community.
When the needs of the farm bureau
and its advantages had been discus
sed by the business men. and SUBJ
scriptions offered to finance the pro-
ject, one of the progressive farmers
asked the chairman for permission
to make few remarks.
"The business men of this town
have been giving banqets for many
years." he said, "and this is the first
time to my knowledge that an invi.
tation was extended to the farmers
l am very much interested in the
proposition to organize farm bu-
reau to aid the farmers in making
their farms more productive.
But with more than ordinary in
terest, I have observed the conditions
that prevail in this town. A great
many of my neighbors, when they
are in need of machinery, clothing
and other farm and household neces.
stiles. find It necessary to buy from
some of the big mail-order houses
Of the large city.
They are sending thousands OF
dollars away from this community
every year that ought to be spen,
here. That is because you business
men don't know how to run busine $
Now, I am going to be just as gencr-
Gus toward the business men OF the
town as they are to the farmers.
am going to take up a sub scription
among the farmers, equal to the sub
scription of the town merchants to
the farm bureau, to hire a business
efficiency expert to show you how
to run your business so tina. you will
command, the trade Of this county
That farmer very accurately dia
snosed the disease will, which that
town--and probably many other
towns--was afflicted. The farmers in
many hundreds of counties are or
ganzing farm bureaus, and employ
ing agricultural and live stock ex-
perts to advise them in matters per-
tanning to their business. They arc
putting their business on an eff
cheney basis, and where the mcr-
chant of their communities are not
rendering the service the farmer
expect, they are buying elsewhere.
| Community building can make pro-
gress only when the business inter.
ests of the smaller towns and cities
are in complete harmony with the
agricultural and 1--we stock interests
and when there Is such mutual con.
fidence and good feeling that the
local merchants and dealers Absorb
the entire surplus products of the
farmers, and in turn supply all their
needs.

TAOS WOMAN MURDERED
BY HUSBAND LAST FRIDAY

Domestic trouble resulting in a
separation early in January this
year, climaxed by one of the most
revolving and shocking crimes ever
known to occur at Taos, at 2:W
o'clock last Friday afternoon.
Henry Simpson son of the late
Captain Smith H. Simpson, a we'll
known old timer of that locality.
went to his wife's home and cut her
throat from ear to ear, inflicting a
gashly wound two inches in depth,
causing almost instant death. Both
her hands were carved in her fran
tic efforts to save herself.
The unfortunate woman ran about
800 yards for aid, followed by her
youngest child, and fell dead at the
entrance of the law office of At.
torney M. c. Pacheco of that city.
Part of the terrible scene was wit
messed by few people who declare
that it was most grewsome sight
A long trail of blood marked the route
from her home to the place where
she fell dead, and the drab adobe
walls along the way bear silent evid-
ence Of where she endeavored to
steady herself.
Simpson having horse in readi-
ness Immediately hit the trail south,
but after travelling several miles de-
cidcd to return, and gave hiself up
and was lodged in the county jail
the following morning to await trial.
He waived a preliminary hearing and
was committed until the next term
of the District Court.
Mrs. Simpson was the mother OF
nine children. Six by former mar
riage and three by Simpson. Anoth-
er child would have been born in
very short time.
Two grown sons by the former
marriage had left the morning of the
crime for Taos Junction, where they
took the train for Colorado. going
there to seek employment. The 9TH
er children were at school with the
exception Of the two youngest who
were with their mother.
Neighbors are kindly caring for the
unfortunate children who will have
to go through life with this great
sorrow.

MOTOR TRUCKS WILL BE
USED IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION

The motor truck has not only
shown its ability to cut transporta-
ton costs when used on reasonably
good roads, but is demonstrating its
ability to cut down the cost OF build
ing the good roads which are a vital
necessity. il the public is to get the
full benefit of the transportation
savings which the truck makes pos
siblc.
Reports from almost every section
of the country tell of the increasing
use of the truck in highway con.
struction. 1t is universally found
that the motor truck is well-nigh
indispcns;bie. The Goodrich Rubber
company says the truck proved more
economical in the hauling Of heavy
road building material and shows
its ability to speed up the work to
a point that would be impossible
without it.

TIN HORN HARVEST TO
BE WOUND UP AT GALLUP

Following recent meeting of the
town board of Gallup, City Attorney
Ruiz began an investigation of the
gambling situation in that city and
word was sent out to those who
have been allowing gambling to be
carried on in their places of business
to "cut it out" Punch boards and
slot machines are included in the or
der.
He stated that he found games OF
one kind or another in practically
every place he went into, the games
running in full blast and no attemp,
to conceal the fact that money was
being played for and in some places
the house getting a rake-off. In one
place a crap table was doing a land
Office business and plenty of money
changed hands following the turn oi
the dice.
In commenting on the wide open
gambling as he found it existing in
town Judge Ruiz said that if the
state law is not enforced he will take
steps to see that it is Those having
punch boards that are partly punched
out will be allowed 10 finish the
boards. after which they must not
be replaced. 1t is understood tina,
if the present method of suppressinp
open gambling is not successful the
Ruiz ordinance will be adopted
That the town has been wide open
for months as far as gambling goes
has been generally known and much
deplored by law alb ding citizens
This condition has caused much com.
ment and adverse criticism of the
town board which allowed the tir
horn element to reap a harvest. The
Cotton city administration had the
town well cleaned up, but to get the
support of the saloon element the
present administration has pander ed
to this element ever since it has been
in office and the result Is the con-
dition found to exist by the city at.
