MUCH DAMAGE DONE.

Houston, Tex, Sept. 17.--The
storm which struck the west coast
near Corpus Christi Sunday carried
buildings and wreckage 20 miles in
land.
Near Corpus Christi, where the
railroad tracks We're washed away,
they We're twisted into the shape Of
cOrlscreW one-half to two miles in
length. Huge bridge timbers weigh
ing thousands Of pounds, bales of
cotton, parts of houses and their
furnishings, cattle. rabbits. etc. were
thrown into the tops of trees by the
waves at this point and left there
as the water went down.
Practically the entire country be-
tween Odem and Corpus Christi was
raging sea all Sunday night and
every low point is still flooded with
water.
The first man rescued here was
j. G. Griffith, aged Sc, a fisherman
of Corpus Christi, who fought for his
life for nearly "a hours. AS the
waters We're rising he had gone into
home on North Beach to assist in
moving an invalid woman While
occupied at that task the waters rose
tour feet in as many minutes and
the party, consisting of three men
and the woman, took refuge on the

Farm Products at Crenville

Ben Ogilvie of Grenville. was in
Clayton this week Mr.. Ogilvie says
that Grenville is the center of one
of the greatest farming sections of
New Mexico. Already they have
shipped 800 600 pounds of beans and
will have that many more to ship
from the 1918 crop. Several cars
of corn. maize. and potatoes have
also been shiDped from this thriv-
ing village. Mr. Ogilvie saws that
he harvested 1000 pounds of pota-
toes from three-fourths OF an acre.
This only serves to show that farm
ing is a success in this part of New
Mexico. Grenville is only 80 miles
from Clayton. and the same product

Union county, but the same enter

RECORD FOR COLD WAS
BROKEN JANUARY FIRST

New Years night, January 1, 1919,
was the coolest in the history Of
Ration as far back as the records
have been kept. The official gov
ernment thermometer, registered 23
below zero that night The previous
night, December 3lst, broke all pre-
vious records up to that date, 20
below being recorded. The coolest
previous since the official observa-
tions have been made was last win
ter, when Is below was reached.
The extreme cold, accompanied by
heavy falls of snow in parts of the
county, some Of which partially melt
ed and then froze, making it diff
cult for 'cattle to get down to the
grass, has caused noticeable shrink
sge in grAeing animals, and ,already
many Of the stockmen rave had" to
begin feeding-an unusual and unfor-
tunate situation for this time of the
year.
At Maxwell Jan. l. u below was
reported; at Trinidad 80; at Las We
gas 80; at Springer 20. 1t is hoped
that the balance of the winter will
be more moderate, and unless it is,
there will be severe losses by the
cattlemen.-Raton Range.

TEACHERS SALARIES SHOULD
BE PAID FOR FLU VACATION

The fourth meeting of the Board
of Education for the year 1918. was
held in Santa Fe, December 26, q,
g. at which time consideration of
a large number OF applicat ons for
professional and life certificates
were taken up by the board. The
biennial report OF the State Super
intendent for the period ending No
vember 80, 1918, was read following
which the Board took up for con-
sideration general policies of admin
istration.
One of the most important actions
taken by the board was a resolution
offered touching the question as to
the payment of salaries to teachers
during the very unusual enforced
vacation caused by the epidemic. 1t
was the sense of the board that this
epidemic came to US as a national
calamity and that its effects have
been more detrimental to the schools
in our state than those of the great
war in which our country has en-
gagged for the past two years. 1t
must be regarded as a national
calamity and should be shared by all
alike and the teachers with their
inadequate salaries should not be
expected to bear the burden of this
enforced vacation. In consideration
of the above facts and following the
precedent established by every other
state in the Union, the State Board
of Education went on record request-
ing school officials to pay the teach
ers salaries in full. The following
is the record:
THAT, 1t is the sense of the State
Board of Education that where
school officials have entered into "a
contract either written or oral with
school teachers to teach a term of
school for the year l9l8-l9, that
these school teachers be paid their
salaries in full for the school year.
THAT, any cause beyond the con-
troll of the teacher which operates
to close the school while the teacher
is willing and ready to teach shall
not be used as an excuse for with
holding the salary; to be specific
teachers should be paid in full for
the time which has been lost on ac-
count of the Spanish Influenza Epi-
demic.
FURTHERMORE, This Board
wishes to call attention of the pub
lie to the grave danger which now
confronts the public school system
of this and other states on account
Of the shortage of the teachers due
in a large measure to the inadequate

thermometer in this city registering
twenty-three degrees below.
Livestock on the range is receiv.
ing a hard jolt, the loss is heavy
so far and il this brand of winter
continues for three weeks longer the
loss will be enormous up and down
the line.
Many stockmen are feeding heavi-
ly, but even at that with the severe
weather stock are only holding their
own and not gaining any. The stock
man who must buy feed will evid-
emily find that L takes the value of
one to feed the other this winter.
Several outfits with large punches
of cattle, coming to this county from
Texas districts where a drouth pre-
vailed, are losing heavily as they have
neither shelter, water or feed.
Sheep on the range are likewise
suffering and the loss is going to be

ICO:
1t has pleased Divine Providence
to call from Among us, and to re-
move from the activities of i:fe the
Honorable Theodore Roosevelt, ex-
President of the United States. His
death has been a distinct loss to the
country that he loved and served so
we'll, so wisely and with such an
exalted degree of patriotism; now
his demise has been a loss to man
kind at large, for he was not only
a great American and great patriot,
but he was in the same sense and
to the same degree a great man, a
lover of his fellowmen. and devot-
ed to the service of mankind. As
such he was recognized, loved and
respected by all the civilized nations
of the earth. His removal from
among US casts a pail over the ma
tion, and the world at large. will
mourn for him.
As mark of respect to the me-
mory of the distinguished dead, to
him who presided and ruled over the
dest'nies of this nation as President
of the United States:
I, O. A. Larrazolo, Governor of the
State of New Mexico, do order and
direct that the flag of our couHtry
be displayed at half mast over all

WHAT THE PUBLIC HEALTH
ASSOCIATION PROPOSES

ASSOCIATION PROPOSES
The public health situation in New
Mexico has become so desperate
through years of neglect that exper
d'agnosticians called in consultation
with the States own experts have
prescribed the Gold Cure.
Surgeon John w. Kerr of the
United States Public Health Service
one of the leading authorities or
public health organization in Ameri.
ca in his recent report on public
health conditions in New Mexico
states the amount he estimates is
required to give the state a sane
workable health department from
which results could be expected. He
itemizes the personnel that will be
required to carry on the work OF
health protection for the people OF
New Mexico Major Kerr points out
that New Mexico needs:
A Health Council composed OF
physicians and laymen. A small
group of big men.
A Department of Health with an
adequate appropriation to carry out
the work.
A Commissioner of Health to d.
rect the activities and a sufficient
staff to enable him to accomplish
the objects of the department.
The Commissioner should be a
physician of wide experience in pub
lie health work.
DR.. Kerr suggests that his assist
ants should be:
A Sanitary Engineer to look into
sanitary conditions of the cities,
towns, mines, schools, dairies,
slaughter houses and food produc-
ing establishments, the inspection of
water supply and sewage disposal.
All these things present engineer
ing problems.
A Bacteriologist with a laboratory.
This is fundamental. Laboratories
are used more and more each year
in public health work.
A Vital Stat;stician. Without
figures on the occurrence and dis
tribution of disease, il can no more
be successfully fought than an
enemy whose numbers and positions
are unknown Vital statistics have
not only public health but economic,
legal and military value.
A Supervising Public Health Nurse
Education along the ines of pre-
vent;on is the big job of a modern
Child welfare work
would also come under this division.
Cier cal Assistance. Such steno-
graphic and other clerical helm as
is necessary for taking care of the
detail work of the department.
In pointing ont our very evident
ability to afford a modern health
department as part of the states
DR. Kerr reminds us
that, "The Commonwealth of New
Mexico comprising l22 $50 square
miles. the fourth state in the Union
in area. with a population of 4S0,950
(estimate from the bureau of the
census> with taxable property valued
at 1858 0O0,OO0N0 Gn 1917 with re-
ceipts from taxes of S2l5l.734 % and
of $2,255,64396 Tin
l9l6) has never voted nickel, either
as territory or as state for pub
lie health.
progressive states consider 3To
Of their revenue a fair sum to .ex-
pend upon the public health. On
that basis New Mexico could easily
afford to devote over 100000 an
1ually to this work"
Surgeon Kerr then gives US very
definitely the figures in detail of
what a department of health, we'll
within the ability of New Mexico to
,unnorf would cost
