COLLEGE WORKER AIDED
WORLD.

After five years of hard work for
the world, Herbert Hoover has return
ed to his home at Patio Alto, where
he formerly graduated from Stanford
university, working his way through
as a laundry wagon driver and by
other service. Endowed as the insti-
tuition was with 100000 900 the uni
versity attracts both rich and poor
and there is found both democracy
and snobbery as everywhere else in
the world.
But young men with determination
can at that institution, as at any great
American school, manage to make a
goal upon their own merits and be-
come useful to the nation as we'll as
attain the right sort of success. even
without winning wealth. which is not
the true measure of success and is
often attained without education or
moral worth.
BY ability and industry after leav-
ing school, Hoover became a skillful
mining engineer and manager. His
work being mainly in foreign lands,
he was but little known IN the United
States Wealth was won but did not

SAL IS FINE FOR

Most folks forget that the kid
neys, like the bowels. get sluggish
and clogged and need a flushing oc-
casionally, else we have backache
and dull misery in the kidney re-
gion, severe headaches, rheumatic
twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach,
sleeplessness and all sorts of blad-
der disorders.
You simply must keep your kid
neys active and clean, and the mo-
ment you feel an ache or pain in
the kidney region, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
drug store heres take a tablespoonful
in a glass of water before breakfast
for few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is harmless to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to nor
NAL activities. 1t also neutralizes the
acids in the urine SO it no longer ir-
ritates, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful efferveseent lithia
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their
kidneys clean. thus avoiding serious
complications.
A well known local druggist says he
sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who be-
lieve in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.

WHAT FAIRS SHOULD BE.

I
Tn Luna and Torrance counties and
perhaps elsewhere arrangements are
being made for display of local prod
| ucts and Of whatever may be useful
and interesting in agricultural districts
to stimulate production and local
growth
Cattle shows and county fairs were
originally established to promote good
stock breeding and other forms of
farm industry. AS time went on the
fairs became popular festivals, draw
ing crowds not merely from the farms,
but from nearby cities. Horse races
commonly attracted far greater
crowds than the fancy cattle and
swine. There would be more people
around the African dodger and the
cane ringer than would look at the
prize bull.
During late years more effort has
along the lines of scientific agricul-
ture. The agricultural schools are apt
to run displays of scientific methods,
and frequently give demonstrations.
An object lesson to the eye will con-
vince people who would forget all
they heard in a lecture.
When an unprogressive farmer sees
a table loaded with rounded ears Of
corn and the statement that It was
accomplished by use Of certain fer
tilizer, and when he sees another table
of few, scanty, and spindling ears pro-
duced without special treatment on
the same kind Of land. he gets an idea
into his head that he is apt to stick
there and produce results.
Without fun and froic the fairs
would fail to pay the cost of upfeep
on buildings, So everyone will be glad
to have them take on all the jollity
of popular festivals. The cheerful
harangues Of the barker, the derislve
yells of the African dodger, and the
merry clatter of trotters over race
course, all have their place. But the
general publcs chief interest IS that
they shall stimulate food production,
which is now insufficient So public
support of these affairs will be much
more liberal if they are seen to be di-
rectly useful in promoting high class
stock growing, and in disseminating
scientific standards of crop raising.

The greater part of the eneinys re-
serves were in the crescent formed by
| the 18th and 7th army, in the direc-
| ton Of Paris, but from Chateau
| Thierry to Verdun there was only a
weak force. General headquarters

planned for the middle of July an
attack on both sides Sf Rheims. by
which the rearward communications

and the Marine would be improved.
(Ludendorff described in the pre-
yious article how badly his forces in
the Marine pocket were handicapped
by lack of railroads and roads. He
had been unables to beat back the
western wall of this trap in his at
taoks Of early June. so now, in order
to make himself safe. he had to turn
| his eyes from Flanders. which had
been his object all the while. to re-
trieve the error made by the too
| rapid advance to the Marne.)
There was sound basis for the
attack at Rheims, We began II with
the firm conviction that 1t would
succeed. The army in the last battles
of the army group of the German
crown prince had fought as we'll as
could possibly have been hoped, TAX

The entire fighting forces which the
United States had sent over to France
during the months of April, May and
June, 1918. were reckoned, according
to information received, at about Is
divisions At the time there might
| have been taken, all in all, about
| twenty American divisions in France.
| That was more than ! had thought
| possible. The superiority which we
still possessed in March, in the number
| of divisions, was thereby wiped out.
| The advantage. man for man, had
turned still stronger against us, since
the American divisions were composed
Of two strong battalions.
Wherever until now we had fought
with divisions that had long been in
| France, we had, even numerical in
| feriority, remained masters of the
situation. 1t was not to be supposed
that the rapidly arriving new forma-
tons, with less training. would fight
better than the old divisions. No
foe should be undervalued. neither
| should he be overvalued. How could
we have attacked the, Russians in
1914 and beaten them had we
done so?
AS long as our troops kept their
morale, they would get the better of
any foe, even the American divisions,
though their nerves were not exhaust
ed as those of the armies that had
been long in the war But the fact
weighed heavily that the newly ar
rived American reinforeements could
release French or English troops in
quiet sectors. This was fact of huge
Importance: it makes clear the influ-
ence which the sending of the fight
ing forces of the United States had
upon the outcome of the war. Amer
lea this became the decisive power
in the war.
On June Is General Foch. had paid
out his reserves considerably; there
was no doubt that the French army
was everywhere needed But up to
now, in the early summer of 1918. it
had broken up only a few battalions.
France was drawing more into the
war than in the earlier years the rich
reserves of men from her colonial pos
sessions. 1t was certain that in the
pause in operations which we faced
she would strengthen herself anew.

In the Belgian army our Flemish

we learned that through the Flemish
movement the feeling of the Belgian
army against us was abating.

STATE OIL ROYALTY MONEY.

Think of this, we New Mexico oil
dreamers! The state OF Wyoming
has just accepted an offer for the oil
received as royalty. which will net
$685. per month at present, for H.
600 barrels The quantity increase is
expected to bring double the above
sum within the three years the con-
tract runs. In addition to the above
the company will donate 100000 per
annum for three years for construc-
ton of a concrete highway from Cas-
per to the Salt Creek field. and ex-
pend $2,500000 to make the Casper
refinery the largest in the United
States. The Laramie refinery is to be
enlarged at a cost of 100000.
Heretofore, state royalty oil was sold
without competition.
Seven bids were received by the
corporation commission. the Midwest
getting the award on the basis of $3.50
per barrel plus any higher posted
price prevailing from time to time on
the Wyoming market.
1t is understood that the Midwest
is a Standard company auxiliary,
which has heretofore handled the
state royalty oil. BY this deal It won
out over the Independents which
caused competitive offers to be asked.
AS New Mexico now stands a good
chance to receive royalties from lands
being tested. the experience of Wyom-
ing is interesting.
If oil be found in large quantities
upon the state holdings capital will
not be lacking for refineries within
the state. The Standard company is
already among the corporations hold
ing leases in New Mexico, under the
name of the Carter company, which
announces that it will soon be drilling
in several localities. But there will be
other refining companies il oil be
produced in abundance.

TUESDAY SEPTEMBER %. 1911!
covET WATERS OF PEcos.

II the people under the Carlsbad
and Fort Sumner irrigation systems
do not use their utmost effort, backec
by owners all the way up stream
through New Mexico, there will prob
ably come q time when a Texas equity
will be claimed by users and the fed
eral government undertake to divide
the insufficient supply.
Representative Hudspeth of Texas
is seeking to have another govern
ment appropriation for constructor
of a dam and reservoir in New Mexico
for an irrigation water supply. But Is
it for the development Of farms in
New Mexico? Hardly, 1t is to acquire
water rights for Texas desert lands
just below the state line.
That would be very nice for men
who now own lands that Texas did
not surrender for the benefit of the
nation when made state. New Mex
leo public domain was taken over as
national property.
There are thousands of water users
north of the Carlsbad irrigation dis
trict whose rights acquired many
decades ago may be curtailed if the
Texas move succeeds.
In the Carlsbad region is an irriga-
ton system for which the federal
government is collecting several mil
lion dollars from burdened farmers.
Larger acreage might be used under
this system, by an additional reser-
voir, and which will be needed in time
anyway, as silt is filling the main res
ervoir, and may render it ineffective
in twenty-five years,
Another burden has been assumed
by the farmers of Fort Sumner district
who had to mortgage their lands to
acquire and perfect deficient irriga-
ton system. They are going on with
Improvements at cost of nearly half
a million dollars as soon as the bonds
can be placed and funds secured.
These undertakings were not based
upon the limited water that was used
prior to construction of reservoirs, but
were meant to cover areas being pre-
pared for cultivation.
The site of the reservoir proposed
for the benefit of Texas lands is at
Red Bluff. on the Pecos, just north
of the Texas line. Below the location
is comparatively little New Mexico
land. An engineer who expended
$4,000 in federal survey reported
the site as unsuitable, bpt the effort
has not been abandoned.
The water is wanted to redeem
Texas school lands bought for rs cents
an acre. or from the railway grants
from the state.
The Pecos in Texas is at times so
alkaline as to be undesirable for irri-
cation. But if the government would
build reservoir in New Mexico. the
land might be reclaimed.
But this enterprise would be fol-
lowed in time by deprivation Of users
up stream in New Mexico.
Congressman Smith Of Texas prob
ably had the Texas reclamation project
in mind when he lately gave out an
interview in FL Paso opposing the
cession to New Mexico of the idle
public domain in the state. He prob
ably thought the cession would pre-
vent the Red Bluff location being re-
served for the Texas undertaking.
