According to the best a

According to the best au-
thority two sets of "back-room
conferences" have been in ses-
sion more or less during the
past few weeks among Repub-
lican politicians in Santa Fe,
trying to decide who shall or
who shall not be the Republi-
can candidate for governor.
The best authority here re-
ferred to is the participators
in said back-room conferences.
One set of conferees accuses
the other Of trying to force
the denomination of Governor
Larrazolo, and the Larrazolo
set accuse the others of trying
to force the governor out of
the race. Undoubtedly they
are all telling the truth. And
whichever way the cat jumps
the voters will be expected to
swallow the dose fixed mp for
them.

: Hon Venceslao Romero, rep
resentative in the legislature,
spent a week in Santa Fe re-
Gently. He did not say what
his mission was, but presum-
ably he was called to leg for
one side or the other in the
governorship squabble. He
consented to say that B. c..
Hernandez and Mr.. Martinez
of Las Vegas were talked of
as candidates by the back
room conferees opposed to
Governor Larrazolo. In regard
to the Duran Incorporation
fuss, he said an injunction
suit had been filed before
Judge Mechem, that the Judge
went to Duran to look into
the case, and had taken the
matter under advisement. Fur
ther, that the opponents of in.
co rporation, represented by
himself, proposed to fight it
out to the last gasp.

Ira Thomas sluggers added
another scalp to their belt Sun
day when they defeated the
Mountainair boys. The game
was full of exciting plays from
start to finish.
Draper was on the mound
for Estancia and pitched stel-
lar ball throughout the game.
He was not in danger except
in two innings.
With a man on base in the
second, Lassiter got wild and
knocked a three-bagger and
scored on an error by S. Mil
bourn.
Draper started things for
Estancia in the last half Of
the 9Th, when he hit a sizzling
grounder through Brocaw at
second. Albritton connected
with a two-bagger, which
scored Draper. Then things
broke loose in general, the
boys hitting at will and scor-
ing a runs.
The Mountainair boys played
a fine game and it looked like
they would shut the local boys
out up to the eighth inning.
Draper struck out II men

PUBLIC LIBRARY

a great number OF books
were let out last Saturday but
not so many returned as we
had hoped for.
The tea given at the library
on Saturday was quite a sue
cess and we want to thank the
public for SO generously pat
ronizing the, teas. This fund
all goes for the purchase of
books, so in thatway the pub
lie gets value return by read
ing the books.
We feel especially proud of
this community house when
we are told by strangers who
travel over the state that very
few towns have such a COM
munity center, and that num-
erous towns several times the
size of this have no libraries.
A great many men from the
town and country have come
in to see the new building,
but we are anxious for more
to come. All-of you, even if
you have no time to read,
come in and see so you may
tell those who do have the
time where they may get the
best reading material that can
be had anywhere.
We are going to put more
scientific and historical works
in the library when we have
sufficient means. What helps
us to accomplish this helps the
town and the community.
We are asking you to come
il on Saturday, rest and talk
with your neighbors even
though you do not take out
the books.
Those who have patronized
the library so we'll in the past
please look through your own
libraries and see if you have
not forgotten to return a book.
We do not object to fines
being paid for the privilege of
keeping books over time. That
money helps to buy more
books.

SCRUB dairy cows, there are al
the present time a flock of
standard bred poultry, a herd
of pure-bred registered pigs,
and a dairy herd consisting of
high grade cows, which have
been shipped in, and are be-
ing improved by the use of a
better sire.
We know that the boys and
girls were the means of eff
fecting this change in livestock
on this one place. It is hard
indeed, to estimate the value
of this demonstration to the
other people Of that one COM
munity. 1t is hard to tell
whether others have followed
the example of this family or
not; but if in every family
where there are boys and girls
carrying on club demonstra-
tion work, this same change
could be made, there is no
doubt as to it's far-reaching
value.
The enrolment for this year
in boys and girls demonstra-
ton work shows that there
are 2,069 members actually
working on the farms or in
the rural homes of the state,
on some piece of agricultural
or home demonstration work.
These same boys and girls
in livestock Improvement alone
have brought into the state
the following registered and
grade stock, at a total cost of
$4,000; ATS pigs, Gall regis
tered bred gifts, or young reg
istered pigs from eight to ten
weeks of age); lit calves,
go registered bred heifers
costing the boys and girls over
5000 each, and the others high
grade calves shipped in from
outside the state ranging from
ten weeks to eight months of
age); 5000 standard bred
chickens: 982 canning. gar
dening, cooking, and sewing

and remodelling of |

of this work.
Every boy and girl is dem

and as a result of this, it is
hoped that better practices
will result. The money loaned
to the members for the pur-

secured from banks and other
agencies, on twelve months
notes at a uniform rate of in

will pay off these notes at the
end of the year by selling
some of the crops produced by
them for feed and seed.
AS a result of the above
demonstration work, the boys

a very important business

and love for farm

CLUB WORK IS
OF GREAT BENEFIT

Boys and girls club work
has been conducted in New
Mexico since 1912, and during
this period of years, a great
deal has been written and
published in regard to the
value of boys and girls club
work to the members, and to
the communities in which the
work is being conducted.
, A great deal has been pub
lished showing the net profit,
the value in dollars and cents,
of the work carried on by the
boys and girls. A great many
exceptional records have been
published showing excellent
profits made by boys who
have raised registered live
stock; showing large yields of
corn, beans, and other crops
produced by boys and girls in
crop club work; and a few
lines here and there relative
to the canning club work and
other lines of home economics
work which is being done by
the girls.
This work has all been
good, but. there seems at the
present time one thing which
has been very much over
looked, and that is: What has
been and what is the demon
strational value of this So
called boys and girls club
work? Is the object Of our
work merely to have our boys
and girls raise pig, a gar
den, an acre of corn, or a few
potatoes, for the few dollars
profit which they can make
out of it; or is it the far
reaching value of the work as
it trains and develops the boy
in the proper methods and
practices of agriculture, and
the girls in home economics,
and the value of this training
and demonstration upon the
men and women in the farm
ing communities of our state?
The following story, which
is one of many, will give very
decidedly what is meant by
the Unconstitutional value of
club work. Three years ago.
a certain family with three
children, living in a county in
the eastern part of New Mexi7
co, had on that farm nothing
but scrub pigs, mongrel
flock of poultry, and one or
two scrub dairy cows. Three
years ago, the oldest boy
joined the boys and girls pig
club and purchased a young
registered gilt. At the end of
the seasons work, the boy had
made an excellent showing
and had won a prize at the
county fair. The following
year, another member of the
family secured a registered
pig and also a high grade calf
which had been shipped in.
Both of these members con-
tinued in club work through
out the season and made good
profits from their work. Att
the present time there are
three members of this family, |
two boys and one girl, raising
registered gifts and two Hol-
stein calves shipped into the
county from Wisconsin. These
boys and girl have all MADE
money from club work; they
have a good start in the live
stock business; but in addition
to this, the one outstanding
thing which has resulted from
the work done by them is the
demonstration conducted, and
it's effect upon the older mem
bers of the family and the
people of the community.
Whereas, on this farm three
years ago, there were nothing
but scrub pigs, a mongrel
flock of poultry, and a few

Reports to the Firestone Ship by Truck bureau from every city in the country indicate that the week was celebrated in elaborate style through out the country. New York held a mammoth night parade of motor trucks, Chicago held great parade along with tours radiatiRg into AIichi- gan, Illinois, Indiana aA other states. Minneapolis. Kansas City. Cleveland, Pittsburg, Boston, Brooklyn, Balti- more, Cincinnati. St Louis, Omaha and scores of cities throughout the east and middle west celebrated with parades and tours.
 Parades In Other Cities
 Providence. Rhode Island, had, in ad dition to the regular parades. an aero plane demonstration, when a fleet of planes circled the city and surround ing territory. Los Angeles sent a fleet of trucks. thirty strong down into the Imperial Valley, 10 preach 10 the farm CTS the need for good roads and ade- Quate transportation.
 San Francisco. Seattle, Portland. Spokane and the inter mountain cities all held tours extending in some cases for a distance of 5Q0 miles.
 It is conceded on all sides that the National Ship by Truck Good Roads Week demonstration has awakened the people of the United States to the need TOT good IOduS ana HlOlOE IldilS- portation for short hauls. At the pres ent time, with the railroad situation in a critical condition, large factories and industries throughout the country are operating from two to five days per week, due to the inability to se- cure cars to bring raw materials to them and to carry manufactured prod ucts away from distribution.
 Truck Transportation Necessary
 No attempt has been made in this movement to compete with the rail- road systems of the country, but the use of the motor truck to take the burden of the short haul off the rail- roads and move grain, produce, hogs. cattle. cotton and every other com modity from the farm to the city, and merchandise and manufactured prod ucts from the cities to the country dis tricts has been shown to be not prae- tical but absolutely necessary to the welfare of the nation. Leading au- thorities estimate that thousands of freight cars will be released to the railroads for use in long hauls where they are sorely needed, by reason of the impetous given the use of the motor truck by this great national awakening of the people. Good Roads has been brought before the people of the nation and it is expected that state after state will vie with eacn other in establishing a system of gooG roads that will bring within the reacn
