Enioy St Patrick Program,

8 The st. Patrick's entertainment
and sociable put on last evening at
the the First Methodist church, was
the largest affair ever held at the
church, some 200 people being on
the program, and the auditorium
was filled to it's capacity.
: The program included stunts of
all kinds, which were given by 81
GLASSES of the school. Each num-
Der had been kept secret, and
was complete surprise to all, and
each endeavored to Guido the other
class. Songs, solos, yells, Irish
numbers, drills, darby stunts,
Jazz bands and orchestra selections
were included on the program.
One of the best features was
that given by the Booster class
which is composed of young men,
most of whom have been in the ser
vice. They sang a series of camp
versions of the patriotic songs
which were especially appreciated.
After the numbers, the crowd ad
journed to the basement where re-
freshments were served and a so
cial hour followed. This affair
was a decided success.

DEATH OF
GEO. H. VAN STONE

Geo. II. van Stone, SCaCe
bank examiner, died at his
home in Santa Fe last Satur-
day morning, after an illness
Of several weeks with stomach
trouble.
Funeral services were held
yesterday, and the remains
were laid to rest in Santa F'e
cemetery.
Mr.. Van Stone came to New
Mexico about twenty-five
years ago on account of his
health. He had been a bank
teller in Toledo, Ohio.
He spent a number of years
in the open, on cattle ranches
and as a forestry employe.
He spent some time in Arizo-
ma while engaged in the latter
work. He regained his health
after a few years.
When the Hughes Mercan-
tile company was organized,
with stores at Estancia and
Moriarty, about the time the
IN. M. C. railroad was built,
or soon thereafter, Mr.. Van
Stone became identified with
that venture and at the same
time became a resident Of Es-
tancia.
He was a public spirited
citizen, always prominent in
public affairs, and was the
first mayor of Estancia. In
the first state election he was
a candidate for corporation
commissioner and failed of
election by a very close vote.
In January, 1917, he was
appointed state bank examin-
er by Governor Lindsey, and
was reappointed to the same
office by Governor Larrazolo.
He was an expert in bank af-
fairs, and those who should
know say he was the best
bank examiner the state has
had.
He was a man of very pos
tive temperament and of
course antagonized some peo-
pie, but he also made many
and unusually warm friends,
and all alike recognized and
esteemed his worth.
His memory will be cher
ished with deep regard by his
many friends here.
Mr.. Van Stone leaves a
widow and two children-a
son and daughter, who have
the warmest sympathy of a
host of friends in the Estancia
valley.

COUNTY CLUB PICNIC

Many OF the youngsters OF
this county will recall last Sat-
urday with pleasant remem-
brances. They were given a
treat in the form of a club
picnic at the Ranger Station
near Tajique. The place was
an ideal one, there being plen-
ty of shade, water and eats,
the trio essential for a good
picnic.
The picnic was given under
the auspices of the Boys and
Girls Clubs in order to show
the club members a good time.
There were about 180 pres
ent, the majority of these be-
ing club members.
Amusements of different
kinds were indulged in, but
it seemed that swimming and
wading were the chief attrac-
|tions.
Taking everything into con-
sideration, the affair went off
nicely. 1t required quite a bit
of work to get the crowd out
and keep things together.
Many persons gladly dOnat.
ed transportation for the club
members, as they were inter.
ested in the character of work
being done by them.
The greatest regret was that
not more of the members
could be present. Some coulc
not get transportation, while
others it seemed were mo-
very much alive to the work
This was the last picnic tha'
will be held this year, as two
other similar picnics have
been held, one at Duran anC
1.-THE other at Round Mound.
If you were not there yol
should have been.

THE. PUBLIC LIBRARY

On account of the many de-
mands for funds for the vari-
GUS war measures the Public
Library was closed for over a
year, and now there being no
reason why it cannot be sup
ported the trustees have decid-
ed to open it once more.
But there being no available
building they have decided to
erect a building on the lot pur-
chased two years ago. To
build will be quite an expense
and this money will be raised
by the efforts of the club.
The first thing to raise funds
will be a sale of secondhand
hats and shoes during the coun-
| ty fair. We will be glad to have
any donations from the pa.
irons of the public library in
the way of hats, caps, or any
head wear for men, womer
and children and shoes of any
size or description. See Mrs
Jenson in regard to your do
nations.
