ANNOUNCED; CONFIDENCE EX-

Hun and the unspeakable Turk.
The American Committee TOR Ar
menian and Syrian Relief differs in
this particular from nearly every or
ganization that has been formed for
the relief OF suffering humanity. In
this committee there Is no overhead
expense or cost or operation to be
paid out OF the subscriptions receiv-
ed. Funds are cabied through the
u. S. Department OF State and dis
tributed through the y. s.. Consular
agencies. Men and women with tend
er hearts and large bank accounts
make extra contributions to take
care Of all expense Of operation. The
last report OF the committee shows
that the amount expended for the re-
lief Of these Christian people, re-
fugees In a foreign land, actually ex-
ceeded by $50,600.00 the amount
through subscriptions. This excess
was the accumulation Of interest
paid by bank on daily balances.
Rev. j. willis Hamblin is chair,
man of the Santa Re county commit
tee and in charge Of the work OF So
Letting subscriptions. The list OF
the other members of the committee
for the city of Santa Fe was printed
in the New Mexican Thursday. The
members for the outly-

until January 18th, to continue until
the 10th, and subscriptions will be
solicited until the period Of the drive
However, those who desire to make
voluntary subscriptions win be al
Owed to do 50 at any time. They
should make checks payable to Levi

Mexico needs an adequately financed

ment OF health. The reduction OF
infant mortality and the economic
salvage that might DO accomplished

In any cas a low death rate is
better than a low tax rate. New

"The Motorized Farm"

Gee Whizz, they've got so MANY
motors nowadays on the farms that
it seems as though farmers and
their wives and their sons and
daughters and hired hands hardly
have anything to do with their
hands these days except to start
the contraptions and keep the
tanks full of gasoline!
Folks on the farms don't have
to fill lamps with oils and prune
wicks and all that stuff any more.
They start up the motor, turn a
switch and-presto-electric light!
When the help turn out in the
wee hours of the morning to milk
the cows they no longer take along
a pail and three-cornered stool.
Now they take a monkey wrench,
in case anything goes wrong with
the machinery, and simply start
up the motor, and let it do the
milking!
The farmers wives no longer
work a long-handled butter churn
through long weary hours by the
use of muscle tand patience. No
Stree, they don't. There's a motor
to attend to that
And when it comes to blowing
and planting and harvesting and
all that sort of stuff-say, you
wouldn't know the old farm now !!
Dobbin and the rest of the good
old nags sure have been super
seded. The plow is an auto now
that climbs over hills and slips
into valleys with never stop for
rest or a drink of water. And as
for taking the stuff into town to
the market, of course, there's a
young fleet of fivvers for that!
Yep, motors certainly are the
thing nowadays on the farm.
But there's one thing no motor
has yet been invented to accom-.

POWER SUPPLY CURTAILED ON
ACCOUNT OF LACK OF WATER

A Lovelock dispatch to the Reno
Gazette says that power to operate the
mines and mills at Rochester has been
nearly all shut off and the supply of
electrical energy to all points supplied
by the Nevada Valleys Power Com
pany has been greatly curtailed be-
cause Of lack Of water at the COM
pany's generating plant at Lahontan.
For ten days the water supply has
been diminishing, until now the flow is
so low that the generating plant is
operated only in part, and it is i'm
possible for the company to supply
power for mines and mills. All that
is available is being used for lighting
purposes in Lovelock. Fallon. Hazen
and other places supplied by the
company.
The sampling plants of the Western
Ore Purchasing Company at Hazen
will be forced to close down this week,
while the Rochester Combined Mines,
the Mill City Tungsten Mines and the
Packard mines are already shut down.
The only power used at Rochester
now is for lighting and for running
the agitators in the mills.
