gian steamer Menapier after she had
been badly battered by a hurricane
was told today when the Winifredian
reached port from Liverpool. The
surgeon is Patrick S. Burns of Prov.
idence, a veteran of the medical ser.
vice in the World War.
An s. o. S. message from the BEL
gian ship requesting medical aid for
seamen injured by the heavy seas was
picked up by the Winifredian several
days out. The distressed steamer
bound for Antwerp from New Orleans
was 100 miles away but under forced
draught the Winifredian got within
hailing distance in a few hours.
"Hit hard by a hurricane" signalled
the Belgian captain. Several mem
washed overheard. Several Others
have broken legs and arms and some
injured internally. There's no doctor
aboard. Can you help u.s."
DR.. Burns attempted to put out in
a life boat, but topping seas. and a
strong wind prevented the launching
He then conceived the idea of using
the wireless to instruct the uniniured
members of the Menapier's crew how
to set their comrades broken bones
and ease their sufferings.
Detail after detail as to the mems
condition spluttered off the receiver
in the Winifredian's wireless room
and carefully DIR. Burns dictated
treatment required. For three DAYS
the two vessels lay within hailing dis
lance. unable to communicate BY boat
while the surgeons instructions were
obeyed.
On the fourth day came this mes
sage from the Menapier's captain;
"All your instructions safely carried
out. The men are resting comfortaDiY
and are out of danger"
DIR. Burns, who holds decoratlohs

Good Will Cottage
The Good Will Cottage committee
then reported the condition Of grange
property at that place. Before read
ing the report by Brother McGlauf-
fin. the worthy master explained that
this was not exactly grange proper
~; but the cottage was a gift not
carrying the assurance of being kept
up indefinitely. He advised generous
contributions from all the -subor-
dinate oranges. Mr.. McGlauffiin then
read his report and it showed that
the so-called grange cottage is sadly
in need of funds and furniture.
Mr.. L. c. Bateman then gave a des-
cription of the grange cottage at
Good Will as he recently found 1t. It
sadly lacked funds.
E. T. Clifford made stirring ap-
peal to sustain this cottage, Mrs.
Kate B. Ellis followed and made an
eloquent appeal for 1t. She said that
one Of the girls was sent there by
the grange. The speaker had ap-
pealed for help for this girl and she
was made happy. She needed more
clothes and Mrs. Ellis asked for gen.
erous contributions.
Bro. Wood Of Belfast asked some
questions and made some vigorous
remarks. 1t was shown that only
70 oranges had responded to the cali
for help. Bro. Moore Of Yarmouth

difficulty in checking up foreign cars.
Concerning the length Of time an out
OF the state car should be allowed to
remain in the State, he said that
there should be uniform law for
all states or reciprocal law giving
to drivers of foreign cars the same
privileges that are accorded Maine
visitors in their states.
The fact that Maine has made n
good start in the matter of registra-
lions. he pointed out. He did not be-
lieve that the registration fee for
trucks is high enough. And it also
does not seem fair for Ford to nav
the same registration fee as the
larger cars. Some suggest that the
cars should pay a registration fee in
accordance to their weight, and others
suggest that 1t should be in pronor.
ton to their value. Which Of these
methods would be the best. the
speaker was not prepared to saw.
The difficulties which have been
met in the suspension, of drivers
licenses. he brought out. The secre-
tary Of state is obliged to give five
days notice. There is no provision
for the summonsing Of any witness
ses, nor for the paying of them. He
said that he felt that the present
law Is not q workable law, and is
not carried out as it should be.
The question was asked about
other states that had system Of
reciprocity as to the length OF time
foreign cars could remain in the
state without payment Of a registra-
ton fee. A. G. Batchelder chairman

amount to be paid by taxes is $3,-
100000.
Since this is a patriotic gift by the
people of the State expressing their
appreciation Of the generous service
rendered by the soldiers and sailors,
1t is fitting that as far as possible,
all should share in contributing this
gift.
l believe that a poll tax is the best
way to meet this expense and that
the average poll taxpayer will be
glad to contribute his share. Both
New Hampshire and Massachusetts
have already given such a bonus and
are to raise it by increased poll taxes.
In Maine there are approximately
100000 poll taxpayers. The present
law provides that not less than one
or more than three dollars be raised.
and as each city or town determines
the rate within these limits. the aver
age rate Is slightly less than thee
dollars.
II two dollars were added to this to
apply to paying the bonus, 1t would
appear more as a patriotic gift and
relieve the farm and home tax payer
to that extent.
The Grange has always stood for
an increased taxation on intangible
property and incomes. thus relieving
the heavy direct tax on farm and
home. :
1t Is admitted by all, that our
present tax law is inadequate and IL
made to work would amount to con-
hscation in most cases, for as the
local tax rate increases. the more i'm
practical becomes law that taxes
securities and money at interest at
the local tax rate.

reach this intanejble property, only

decline OF 10 per cent In the past de-
cade has been referred to above. Roose-
welt countys population was cut nearly
In half, being reduced from 1904 In
1910 TO 6,54S in 1920.
There was disappointment in the
opposite corner Of the state. San Juan
county grew 78.1 per cent in the de-
cade from 1900 to 1910 and 03 per cent
between 1890 and 1900. During the
ten years from 1910 to 1920, the popu-

A. Larrazolo coming up for hearing be-
fore the supreme court, Il. A. Lane, de-
putty sheriff Of Luna county, arrived
In Santa Fe and arrested the entire
group on indictments growing out OF
the raid ON Columbus, n. NJ, March o,
1915.
The arrest Of the prisoners threw
the attorneys for the Villistas into a

In their contention that the villistas
were legally pardoned and are being
wrongfully detained at the peniten-

the hearing show that the governor Ind
full authority to pardon and that the
villistas were at one time entitled to
their liberty, the prisoners will still be
held at the penitentiary at the request
of the sheriff OF Luna county.
At the time OF Villas raid on Co

Grant, the rate Of growth for Grant
was n per cent. These are the only
two counties which grew as rapidly as
the average for the state In the prev
ious decade. New Mexico's population
between 1900 and 1910 increased 6T.7
per cent, or nearly seven times as much
as the increase between 1910 and 1920.
Counties which decreased IN popu-
lation are Chaves, Curry, Eddy,
Guadalupe. Quay, Roosevelt, San Juan,
san Miguel, Dscorro and Terrence.
County divisions account for part OF
the decrease, but even allowing for
that, the counti3 slipped back.
Take the case Of Chaves and Eddy.
Their combined population in 1910
was 29,2JO. During the past decade
Lea was formed fran them. The 1920
census shows the total popuation Of
Chaves. lea and Eddy to be 24,705, or
decrease of 4,495. The counties from
which De Baca was formed lost more
population than the total for that
county today.
Sandoval, Santa Fe, Taos, Valencia,
Lincoln and Mckinley show a growth,
although Il is sometimes low, as In the
case OF Lincoln. where a net gain OF
one was reported.
Popr;s >ian Is most dense In Ber-
lnaIill. cOu. " and least dense In so
zorro county. Bernalillo has 1,21o
square miles OF territory and 1850
people. an average OF about 20 to the
square mile. II Is the smallest In
territory and greatest in population.
Socorro county embraces 1000 square
miles and the 1920 census shows a.
O3G people or less than one TO the
square mile. Curry Is next to Bernal'
lillo In density with about eight to the
square mile and Santa Fe county If
next with 7l6 per mic.
J. The results show that only Bernal'
lilo, Colfax. Dona Ana, Grant, Luna
Sierra and Union have grown twice as
fast as the 1920 average for the state.
II would appear that industry. ana
progressive farming have pushed for
ward the states population and not
grazing. Bernalillo has grown thru
railroad activities and thru its import
ance as a health center. Colfax, Sier-
ra and Grant show the result or the
mining Industries located there. Dons
Ana and Union are counties where
agriculture has been placed on high
scale through irrigation in the former
and dry farming in the latter. Luna's
growth was due In no small degree to
the presence Of Camp Cody and the
Southern Pacific shops at Deming.
Pecos Valley has been a distinct dis
appointment. Eddy showed growth
Of 2s4 per cent In the decade from 1900
to 1910. Chaves had growth OF 2o3
per cent during the same period. A

out Jews is poor place for anybody

that has few Jewish merchants. No
doubt this would apply to many other
enterprises. The Jews make business
for themselves and for everybody else,
Furthermore they are not clannlsh and
do not demand influence beyond that

LUNA COUNTY FASTEST

Santa Fe.-When the county census
returns for 1870 are placed beside
those Of 1910, II will he seen that ten
counties have increased as rapidly as
population as the average for the state,
that seven Of these ten have doubled
the states growth, that ten counties
have actually decreased in population,
while six have grown since 1910 but
less than the ten per cent which the
total state population increased. The
three remaining counties have been
formed since 1910.
Bernalillo Colfax Dona Ana. Rio
