LIGHTNING STRUCK
LIVINGSTON HOME
BOLT HIT JOHN GRAHAM HOME
LAST TUESDAY NIGHT.-HAD
FREAKISH TENDENCIES.
OTHER LIVINGSTON NOTES.

During Tuesday nights storm light
ming struck the John F. Graham home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Graham and son Cecil
were sleeping on the second floor.
The bolt struck the bed which was oc-
cupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Graham set
ting fire to the bed clothing. The bolt
entered the hot air register in the
wall tearing g large hole in the iron
plate and starting a blaze between the
walls and on the wall on the opposite
side. Tin shingles were ripped from
the roof, twisted into knots and thrown
to the ground. The bolt followed the
caves spout to an out door cistern
where it lifted blocks of cement more
than foot thick and threw them sew
eral feet, leaving the cistern uncov-
cred and every bolt taken from the
pump. Cans tied in bag near the
chicken house a few feet distant were
moved several yards and the sack
ripped open where it struck the ground
leaving a hole and throwing mud to
the roof of the building. Neighbors
came to their assistance putting out
the fire. The Grahams received a
very bad shock but they consider their
escape miraculous.

4 OIL PROJECTS
BEING DEVELOPED
IN PECOs VALLEY

SPECIAL CONSEQUENCE TO MORNING JOURNAL
Carlsbad, y. NJ, Feb. There are
four oil developments going on in
Eddy county at widely separated
points and it is confidently believed
that oil is going to lie found at some
Of them in quantities that will make
milliOnaires of PecOs valley investors.
In one oil we'll it is said that a flow
has already been found, but the own
ers are going on down to tap the big
geSt sand.
This well is north of Lakewood and
is on the property secured by the IL
linois Producers company. This COM
pany has a big acreage and had gone
down 1000 feet when the tools were
lost When the drllers got them
again it is said that they were thor
oughly impregnated with oil, and that
about two gallons of grease was taken
from one of the buckets.
Another development is at Lake Ar
thur, where work has been in prog
rcsS for some time, but lately has
been shut down. This plant is being
managed by McWhorter, who knows
as much about the strata as any man
living, as he has punched many arte-
sian holes into it. Another district
which is under development Is that
one south and west of Lake Arthur,
where a company is getting ready to
go to sea level. Several thousand
acres are blocked up in leases
The fourth district now under way
is that one east of Carlsbad, where
the late Senator William Andrews
leases are being renewed, Minneapolis
men and local capitalists are interest
ed in this venture, and there is already
a hole on the property which is said
to go down 5000 feet. 1t is so valua-
BILE that extreme card was taken in
plugging it, and when sufficient funds
are secured, this hole Will be opened.
Local prospectors are also interest
ed in sulphur lands in Texas, sixty
miles south of Carlsbad, and it is said
that this company has been promised
q spur twenty miles lond by the Santa
l'e, if it will 90 after the sulphur in
proper style.

consolidated schools lie established
wherever possible.
Inc legislation for extending the
[ compulsory school age from IA to 16
Nears OF age new pending before the
present legislative assembly will help
materia " 70 increase the enrolment
as well as the attendance. As a sup
ptement TO this law, The part time leg
lslauon providing for attendance upon
part time classes for those boys and
girls between the ages OF II and 16
to so to work viii tend to bring many
pupils back in g the puhIic schools
We recommend school authorities to
make every effort TO enforce the com
pulsory school laws and to establish
part time classes wherever possible.
The Improvement of the rural
schools Is the absorbing question and
the one of greatest importance in our
commonwealth. We recommend the
plan now being used in Dona Ana
county by Superintendent Dr. r. +.
Mcbride of employing itinerant teach
ers. The plan is providing the sou-
ton of the problem of giving home
economies ana other special instruc-
ton in small rural schools where iii
is not possible TO employ a special
teacher on fllll time
The system adopted in a number
of counties throughout the state of
dividing the various school districtsl
for the purpose of teachers sectional
meetings has proven most beneficial
and advantageous to school interests
This scheme of orga niZation has had
the eff ct of creating a closer rela-i
tionship among the teachers and the
results are better understanding of
prevailing conditions,
The law which provides fer the eX
pense of student teachers while in at |
tendance at our normal schools is in !
dispensihle and the appropriation
which two years ago was allowed to |
lapse will no doubt be restored by the |
present legislative assembly
We commend most highly the mes-
sage of Gov. O. A. Larrazolo to the
legislature recommending a suhstan- |
tial increase in teachers salaries in
order to rnaintain competent teachers D.,
in rural districts.

Chronic Constipation.

There are people who never have a
movement of the bowels without it is
produced by a cathartic. Most OF
them have brought that condition on
themselves BY the use OF mineral
waters and strong cathartics that take
too much water out of the system and
asgravate the disease they are meant
to relieve. A mild laxative tonic like
Chamberlain's Tablets affords a gen
tie movement of the bowels that you
hardly realize has been produced by
a medicine. and their use is not so
likely to be followed by constipation.

situation Summed Up.

Mr. conway sums up the situation in
the following conclusions and recon-
mendationS:
Consolidation of two or more
schools has received quite an impetus
in New Mexico since the establish
mcnt of the county unit of admins
tration. Through the activities of the
county board of education great deal
has been, done toward creating senti-
ment for consolidation. The central
izine of administrative movers is now
regarded as step in the right drec-
ton and has thus far developed a SUI
premely efficient system. Where
county boards have given proper at
tention to the work, splendid results
have been accomplished. Reports from
various county superintendents during
the past year indicate a commendable
improvement of school conditions.
The financial leaks and improper
methods of administration under the
old system have been obviated and it
is now possible for school monies to
he expended in business like manner.
The county board law tends to elimin-
ate waste and to place the public
schools upon a sound basis and to
permit of standardization Under the
new system it is much easier to effect
consultations.
The bill introduced in the present
legislature making possible consol-
idation of districts lying in counties
adjoining each other will aid ma
terially in extending consolidation
privileges There is also "A marked i'm
provement in country roads in com
munities where consolidation has been
effected, substantiating the claim that
good schools and good roads go to-
gether Therefore il is nrged that

pose. So in the latter DAYS tbe lattors
were flnally all taken up and the neces-
slty for individual and unioua brands
"aS ieo 10 many a strange device.
Many Novel Designs.
For example, there is tho asn,,,,,,
ranch l,p the Turk Track ranch, the
IumoIing K" of the Lazy X" Everv
ranch has its principal brand and
some have many others. Ranch own
efs' who trade extensively and orc
constantly acquiring cattle with differ
emf brands have number of insiqn;as
on record. Often the ranchmen's sons
ana daughters have their sneciaI
pIahqs and the dedication of new
brand is not an unusual form of cele.
Dfatlng a birth on the range.
Among the peculiar brands is q Mo.
PEN which means square with ifs
SIDES extending to form the exterior
angles. Crescents are common. Only
one ranehman has a Ratchet for a
brand.
"A bow and arrow gives a name TO
one Dig Texas ranch L. ]. Kimber-
In s ranch had cruteh on the hin
and coffee pot on the side. The
coffee pot design is not so intricate as
one might imagine, consisting of only
eight lines.
WINE glasses are not uncommon as
brand and the ]. w. Friend Cattle
company in Crotchett county had
gourd. A rocking chair is the brand
OF the II. B. Opp ranch In Sutton and
Menard counties.
Lee Brothers had for their brand the
graceful fieur de lis. Anchors az

ranch in the Usage reservation boasts

apple, flower, ladders, rakes, spades,
a fence, doll baby, cotton hook,
hshhook, bottle, bride bits, a frying
pan, pitehfork and even a comet may
be seen among the long list of brands.
A "seuple" indicates that the ranch
owner was a druggist before becoming
a cattleman. Hearts, diamonds and
clubs are found among the records of
