The Estancia Chamber of
Commerce is moving ahead in
good shape. The success of
the organization is assured if a

or two exceptions all who have
been approached have joined
or raised their subscriptions.
Now, if you believe in the
future of the Estancia Valley
and you want to be found in
the list of boosters you had
better come in. Do not wait
for some one of the committee
to call on you, but next time
you are in town drop in to
either one of the banks and
make your subscription.
Later the committee will
print a list of those who are the

to go ahead with the active
work of the Chamber as soon
as the finances are out of the
way. So get into the game
and let's all make things hum.

FAREWELL RECEPTION

The reception rendered the
Kemp and Peterson families
Tuesday evening at the M. E.
church was a great success,
despite the inclement weather.
About sixty were present, each
wearing their broadest smile,
determined that cheerfulness
instead of sadness should be
the predominant feature.
A short program had been
prepared, and Mr.. Ludwick be-
ing master of ceremonies"
presided in a most pleasing
manner.
Mrs. Nash rendered a num-
Der of instrumental pieces and
in addition sang a beautiful
solo entitled "Till We Meet
Again" Following Mrs. Nash
on the program the Misses Nc
Gee and Hays sang two beauti-
full duets, Mrs. Coombs presid-
ing at the piano.
Mrs. MCGEE represented the
Aid Society of the church and
her tribute to the worth of the
departing sisters was both ap-
pronriate and touching.
Mr.. Ayers made the princi-
pal address of the evening,
and after expressing regret at
the departure of two of our
most prominent business men,
said that should they return on
a visit or for permanent resi-
dence again the "latch string
would be out" and beans in
plenty served as a happy re-
minder of the past.
After the exercises delicious
refreshments were served by
the ladies, and each one pres
ent pronounced the reception a
decided success.-One Who
Was There.

SCHOOL REVENUES
AND EXPENDITURES

According to figures com.
piled by the Taxpayers AS
sociation of New Mexico, the
state will raise for school pur-
poses upon the 1918 tax levies
a total of $2,569,851.14 dis
tributed as follows:
State tax $186,507.32; coun-
ty taxes, $1,989,O20.2 school
district special taxes, 1884,
323.56. To this should be ad-
ded other revenues estimated
as follows: Leases of school
lands, 100000; interest on
permanent funds $25, 900; poll
taxes, $4,000; fines and pen
alties, $4,000; Forest Reserve
$4,000; delinquent taxes,
$150,00O. Allowing for de-
ductions, it is estimated that a
total revenue of $3,000,000 is
available with which to meet
the expenses of the school year
closing June 80, 1919.
The increase in production
of all tax levies for schools for
a period of five years is indi-
Gated by the following table:
1914, $1,3O3, ,16O.S5.
1915, $1,583,40 25 per
cent increase over previous
year.
1916, $1,eSS,S79.72, 7 per
cent increase over previous
year.
1917, $2,331,4 ,4e7.9s, 80 per
cent increase over previous
year.
1918, $2,569,S51.14, 10 per
cent increase over previous
year.
Roughly speaking there are
LOO teachers in the state
holding first grade or higher
certificates, $50 holding sec
ond grade certificates and $50
holding third grade certifi-
Gates or permits. Estimating
the number of teachers at
$500 and the average in
creased allowance at $3.50,
there will have to be provided
funds to meet a total increase
in school maintenance of ap-
proximately S375,000 in the
school year 1919-20, or an av-
erage increase in the tax rate
of a little more than one mill.
School district special levies
are still subject to the five mill
Limitations but the need of
buildings will call for
increase within this limit and
for higher levies outside the
limit to meet interest and prin-
cipal payments on bonded in

it is probable that most of the
flies are bred in the manure
around the barn and sheds.
Here again it is merely a mat
ter of work-not of money
cost-to get rid of the flies.
Keep the manure cleaned up,
placed in piles and covered
with dirt. Manure handled in
this way is worth twice as
much for fertilizer as when
neglected. By doing this and
treating the privy as before
suggested, any country place
can be almost free of flies.
Now, we have devoted a
good deal of space to flies, but
it is worth the money if you
take advantage of it, and this
is an end of the subject for this
season.

THE VICTORY LOAN

What shall we do with our
obligations?
I Torrance county has always
demonstrated her ability to
meet the emergency.
We sent our quota of men.
We over subscribed our
quota on past issues of Liberty
Bonds.
Shall we fail now?
Every effort was made to
have this quota materially re-
duced. But it seems that every
part of the Great Southwest
felt the need for clemency, and
the war bills must be paid.
So it's up to us to show again
the patriotism and undying
loyalty of Torrance county by
subscribing to the limit for the
Victory Loan.
OUR QUOTA HAS BEEN
fixed at S50,000.00.
In view of the trying ordeals
just gone through it seems a
large one, but we are camel
We must not fail now!
The drive is on.
Do your best!
ALL together!
Over it goes.
This is not the time to find
fault.
We Won.
We are in the best, the big
gest, the happiest country on
earth today.
We cannot afford to hinder
progress, nor to stand in the
way of Prosperity!
We will pay.
Following is a list of the
men appointed in the various
localities to have charge of
subscriptions.
The quota for each locality
will be named in few days
and sent to the chairman.

QUITE A FLOOD

The past week has been a
wet time in the valley, and last
Thursday evening occurred an
other flood-a modest one
compared to that of 1912, but
withal, a flood.
On Thursday there was a
quite heavy rain in Estancia,
but it was much heavier west,
northwest and southwest. Just
after dark Fred Ayers tele-
phoned in that a river was
coming down the lane and
making a noise like a flood. A
number of townspeople got out
with lanterns and shovels to
see what was doing. There
was evidently plenty of water
somewhere, for the roaring
could be heard some distance.
1t was found, however, that
the big ditch which had been
constructed south from the
Methodist church to the town
limits and thence east to the
railroad, was attending to the
job all right. The roaring was
caused by the water running
over the bank and into the
ditch.
Practically all the water
came down the street straight
east from the Ayers places and
tumbled into the ditch at the
intersection. Reaching the
railroad, the water was carried
south.
Quite a bit of water got in
to the park-enough to fill the
old surface reservoir east of
the park, but Master Mechanic
Smith Of the railroad shops
tells us their water installa-
tions in the park were not
much damaged. They had ar
things so that surface
water would not do much dam
age.
There was a very heavy fall
of hail extending from south to
north with the center of the
strip about seven miles west of
Estancia and bearing a little to
the east as it passedrnorth. E.
Pace thinks he was in the GEN.
ter of it straight west of Estan-
cia. Mr.. Mullen to the south
and George Merrifield to the
north were on the west edge of
it. The hailstones were very
large and flattened. Compost
tion roofs, of which there are a
good many in the country,
were pounded to pieces by the
hail. Generally there was not
much wind and no glass was
broken, but we hear that P. P.
Pellisero's windows were all
broken on one side of the
house and the house was flood
ed with hail and rain to such
an extent that they had to go
to his brothers to spend the
night. The grass was pound
ed into the ground, but is said
to be coming again nicely.
Monday there was good
rainfall in Estancia, and again
on Tuesday, with considerable
hail, though the hailstones
were not large. Tuesdays
rain came mostly at one time,
and brought more water
through town than on the pre-
vious Thursday evening. There
was a little overflow of the
ditch at the Methodist church
corner, but aside from this the
ditch carried all the water
around.

PIG TROUBLES

The losses in recent importations
of pigs for the Boys and Girls
Clubs in the Estancia valley has been
serious set back to this important
work. At first we were at loss to
know the origin of this deadly
malady. AS no infection existed in
the Estancia valley up to the time Of
these importations no conclusion can
be drawn other than the infection
came in with the pigs.
Not that the pigs were affected
when they were purchased, nor has
there been any affection in the herd
from which they were purchased.
Treatment seems of no avail. In some
cases the animals have rallied, the
majority, however, have succumbed.
There is no denying the extreme
contagiousness of the disease, and in
connection with this it is earnestly
suggested that where pigs have died
that the premises be thoroughly
cleaned up and disinfected, if not it
may be impossible to grow pigs for
a long time. The infective agent
seems to be in latent form and as
soon as the pigs were moved or ex-
posed to the least hardship it mani
Tested itself in fatal manner. The
disease bears a close resemblance to
the influenza of the human of last
year. Any of the following agents
could be used: Comp. cresol sol. 8
per cent, Kreso dip 5 per cent, or
carbolic acid or Lysol.-E. P. John
son, State College.

THE AMERICAN LEGION

Why don't the soldier boys in ant
around Estancia and other centerl
of the county get busy and organize
posts of this order?
The preamble to the constitution
of this organization sounds mighty
good.
Here it is:
"For God and Country we as
sociate ourselves together for the
following purposes: To uphold and
defend the Constitution of the Unit.
ed States Of America; to maintain
law and order; to foster and per-
petuate one hundred per cent.
Americanism; to preserve the men,
ories and incidents of our association
in the Great War; to inculate a
sense Of individual obligations to the
community, state and nation; to COM

master Of might; to promote peace
and good will on earth; to safeguard
and transmit to posterity the prin-
ciples of justice, freedom and dem
ocracy; to consecrate and sanctify
our comradeship by our devotion to
mutual helpfulness.
A statement in regard to the or
ganization further says:
1t is the organization of American
veterans of the World War. 1t is
non-partisan and non-political. 1t is
a civilian organization--not military
or militaristic. 1t makes no dis
tinctions between overseas men and
men who did not get overseas.
Any soldier, sailor or marine who
served honorably between April 6,
1917, and November II, 1918, is
eligible to membership.
