SOCORRO COMING TO
'FRONT.', SAYS WAGNER
SWELL new HOTEL

Old Socorro, which has scarcely
been considered one OF the most pro,
gressive cities in the southwest dur
ing recent years, now is forging ahead
in a marvellous manner, according to
State School Superintendent J. H.
Wagner, who has just returned from
addressing the high school graduates
of that place.
1T may surprise people, but 1t is.
true" said Prof. Wagner today, so
zorro is to have what will be one OF
the finest, II not the finest and most
up to date hotel in New Mexico. 1t
is Of white pressed brick, stunning in
appearance and the rooms will be
beauty spots. Socorro is picking up,
and people are predicting a bright
future for the town; in fact, they say
1t will be a city Of $4,000 inhabitants
before many years."
Big mining interests, improved agri-
cultural conditions, and the motor a
bringing wealthy tourists, are among
the reasons given for the erection OF
the new hotel at Socorro and the pre-
dictions Of an era OF development and
prosperity.

STATE SUPPLIES
HOGS GALORE TO
KANSAS FARMERS

Las Cruces. N. M, May 2O.-New
Mexico, especially the lower Rio
Grande valley section of the state, is
now supplying thousands Of hogs TO
Kansas farmers to turn out on alfalfa
pasture. Last week H. G. Nelson. OF
Kansas. made a shipment of hogs from
Las Cruces consisting of about 45O
head. These hogs ranged in weight
from 80 to 100 pounds and nearly all
Of them we're Durocs Of fine quality.
Mr.. Nelson said he was greatly sur
prised to find so many hogs in this
faroff part Of the country, and ex-
pressed the belief that New Mexico
would in a few years be one Of the
hog raising states 81 the union. Near
ly all Of the hog raisers are using the
very best Of breeding stock and as a
result the quality Of their hogs is very
choice.

SHORTAGE OF LABOR
IN PECOS VALLEY
FOUR HUNDRED TO six HUNDRED
FARM WORKERS NEEDED IN
GREAT NEW MEXICO FRUIT
BELT.

Roswell, N. M, May 19.-Able
bodied men looking for farm work can
find 1t In the Pecos valley. After a
careful Investigation of labor condil
tions in the counties of Eddy, Chaves
and Roosevelt 1t Is estimated there
win be a shortage OF fom 400 to 600
farm workers. This applies more par
ticularly to the hay fields.
On account Of this shortage. this
office has refused to act as recruit
ing agent for the wheat belt; the dis
tributing office in Kansas has been
advised Of the existing shortage al
Roswell and contiguous territory,
This office will make every effort to
keep the recruiting agents out Of this
district, until there is every evidence
that there are men to spare. Thy
are not likely TO come knowing OF
these conditions; If they do there is
no remedy so far as this office is con
cerned. Now that the war is over, We
cannot have control over labor re
cruited for other localities, as we did
last summer. All recruiting then was
under supervision of this office, only
workers for war work were allowed II
leave and then only a certain per
centage which was all figured out By
the war department at Washington ac
cording to the population of each
county. No tickets were issued tC
workers leaving here for war worl
without the signature of the loca'
Employment Service Examiner; by
SO doing the count was kept for eacf
county If a county fell short OF tht
required quota the workers were ther
to be drafted.
The farmers are hereby advised tina
there Is a surplus Of laborers in E
Paso at this time. / am advised BY
the employment manager there thai
they will come here blu that they are
not able to pay their way anywhere
Many OF them are discharged sol
diers. The farmers should by al
means take advantage of this oppor
tunity to secure necessary help t.
save the crop before these men art
recruited by agents from the wheaf
belt. When they are offered a biz
wage scale and transportation they
will take the men away in large ship
ments. This office is ready to take
the matter up for the farmers and Sc
cure the workers. A shortage does
exist and it is threatening to become
very serious.

Alleged lmpostors and
Beggars are Bringing
Navy Into Disrepute
Mayor Davies has received the fol
NAVY DEPARTMENT,
Washington.

NAVY DEPARTMENT.,
Washington.
May Is, 1919.
To the Honorable the Mayor of Santa
.Fe, New Mexico:
The navy department has received
reports from numerous sources
throughout the country to the effect
that men in the uniform OF the navy
of the United States are soliciting
money and in other ways bringing dis
credit to the naval service. These
men claim that they have been dis
charged from the navy without funds
and are forced to adopt these meas
ures in order to gain a living. It is
believed that many of these men who
are bringing discredit to the uniform
in this manner have never been in the
naval service, but have purchased the
uniforms from men who have been
discharged.
Every man discharged from the
naval service has been released at his
own request. Before obtaining such
release, he had to produce evidence
that he intended returning to his pre-
vious employment or rather employ
ment which had been offered him, or
that he wished to complete his edu-
cation. Every man so discharged has
either received, or is entitled to re-
ceive, IL he applies to the department,
a bonus of $50 and transportation to
his home at the rate of 5 cents per
mile. In. view OF the above the de-
partment considers there is no reason
why any men who are legitimately
wearing the uniform OF the United
States navy should be stranded.
All men who have been discharged
or who have been placed ON inactive
duty should have their discharge or
inactive duty orders with them. Any
man wearing the uniform who has not
been recently discharged or released
from active duty or is not on active |
duty In the navy, is violating a United
statute, which Is here quoted:
1T shall be unlawful for any per-
not an officer or, enlisted man OF
the United States army, navy or ma
tine corps, to Wea the duly prescriO
ed uniform of the United States army,
navy or marine corps, or any distinc-
i've part Of such uniform, or a uniform
any part of which is similar to a dis
.inctive part Of the duly prescribed
inform Of the United States army,
navy or marine corps"
The department would appreciate 1t
I you would direct the police depart
nent of your city to cooperate in pre-
the Illegal wearing OF the
laval uniform, and also in preventing
men who have been discharged from
discredit to the naval service
begging or otherwise soliciting
unds in an improper manner.
Verify truly yours,

Acting Secretary Of the Navy,
