A crop of Real Farmers Now.

Las Cruces Citizen; bona Ana
county is receiving visits from Il
large number of farmers from va
rious irrigation projects in the west
with q view to taking advantage of
the cheap prices of the land pre-
vailing here. 1t is almost impossI-
Die to get a room or house in Las
Cruces at present for this reason.
The past year has been one of I'M
paralleled prosperity in all farming
sections, and farm land values have
risen to such a degree that many
of the farmers are disposing of
their holdings and getting cheaper
lands. These valleys passed through
one price boom and the values were
pushed up to such a degree as to
make it impossible to carry on
farming operations with profit, and
the reaction has hurt us immeasur-
ably. The newcomers at the pres
.ent time, however, are not speed
lators but farmers, and instead of
holding their lands for higher val
ues are proceeding to live on them
and to develop them, which is the
thing that really makes land values.

The War Mothers dinner to ex
service men served at Odd Fellows
hall last night was a splendid sue
cess. Including visitors and Boy
Scouts there were 225 who partook
of the bounteous repast. Two civil
war veterans were among the "ex.
service" men who were honored.
Under the direction of Mrs. Frank
DeKay, state War Mother, elaborate
plans had been made for the event
and although an infinite amount OF
labor was required the patriotic
women of the organization left moth
ing undone to make the dinner q
success. Everything in the way of
good eats" was provided and the
ex-doughboys made up for some of
the things they didn't get while they
were in the service.

A new timecard, effective 1905
a. m. Sunday, November IA, makes
the following changes in train time
in Blackfoot: Train No. 32 will leave
at a. m. instead of a. m. as for
merly, and. train No. te6, the Mack
ay passenger, will arrive at 3.25 p.
M, ten minutes earlier than before.
A change of time for trains No. 19

some Inconvenience to passengers
from Blackfoot as No. AZ, leaving
here at 10 o'clock, will no longer
connect, making it necessary for pas
sengers to leave Blackfoot at 2 a. m.
in order to catch the morning train
to the Twin Falls territory and other
points west.

evening service west from Pocatell0
and passengers may leave here on

WASTE WATERS
CAUSING DAMAGE
Local Men Working on
Plan to Drain Wa
terlogged Lands

Waste waters from Sand creek, in
northern Bingham county, are caus-
ing damage to farms and ranches
in that section, and to determine the
best method of handling the over
flow Peter G. Johnston, James Just
and Heber Taylor went to Idaho Falls
Tuesday to consult Clyde G. aBldwin,
who controls the water of Snake
river. The flood condition is caused
at this time, 1t is said, on account
of the fact that water users in this
section are running their canals full
in order to have the canals freeze
on the surface to permit free flow
of water for winter use, when the
canals run low, and the waste rum
off is waterlogging Bingham county
farms. Mr.. Baldwin has requested
water users to control this situation
as far as possible and thus relieve
to a degree the waterlogged lands.
A plan to construct an adequate
canal to handle the waste water is
being formulated, and it is UNDER
stood that the state will be asked
to cooperate in the project.

RED CROSS DRIVE
STARTS WITH VIM

Between $1,000 and $1,000 was
raised in the first day of the fourth
annual Bingham. county Red Cross
roll call, according to w. B. Good
nough, county chairman. Blackfoot
subscribed $3.50, Shelley reported
5000, and while no report had been
received of the result in the Aber-
deem district, the amount" raised
there was expected to reach $4OO or
$500.
The roll call in Bingham county
was in charge of the American Leg
ion posts at BlackfoOt, Aberdeen and
Shelley, and Commander Goodnough
Of the local post, was in charge of
organization. While the county's to-
tai quota was not realized the first
day, Chairman Goodnough is highly
satisfied with the first days result
considering the weather and road
conditions, and the fact that there
is scarcity of ready cash. The
membership drive will be continued
until the total amount to be raised,
$21OO, is realized.
The feature of the roll call in this
county is the fact that the Legion
is backing it, and that the county is
organized for the work as no other
county in the state, an accomplish
ment that has brought recognition
from roll call workers elsewhere in
the state.

Parkinson, who worked outside of
Blackfoot, were as follows:

RUPTURE IN INTERNATIONAL
LABOR CIRCLES LOOKED FOR

WASHINGTON.-Rupture of rela.
tions between organized labor of the
United States and that of Europe
was expected to follow consideration
of the proposal by the executive
council of the American Federation
of Labor here. Members of the coun-
Gil stated that in all probability af-
firmative action would be taken on
the motion to withdraw from the in
ternational federation of trade
unions.
Such action would be in line with
the reduction of president Samuel
Gompers who announced the opinion
that the American Federation of La
Dor should withdraw from the Inter-
national organization because of
radical tendencies with European
labor.

PERSHING TALKS

WASHINGTON the occasion
of the second anniversary of the
signing of the armistice which ended
the fighting of the great war the fol-
lowing statement was issued to the
nation and to the world by General
John J. Pershings: "The second an
niversary of Armistice day finds un-
diminished the appreciation of those
who comprehend the meaning of the
great victory achieved on November
Ii, 1918. This day will come to
represent to the civilized world what
Independence day means to Amsri-
cans. 1t struck the death knell Of
autocratic rule and reversed the
doctrine that might makes right
1t marks new epoch in history and
establishes a dividing line between
the old order and the new.
"In our own country the guarantee
for good government lies in the
awakening of the young patriotic
citizens who constituted our military
forces and who since the accomplish
ment of their sacred war time mis-
sion have returned to peace time pur-
suits with a determination to keep
ever before them and their neighbors
and communities the ideals for
which they fought. That the inter-
ests of the nation will be we'll d.
rected and fully safeguarded by this
great citizen army of veterans Is be-
yond doubt.
"In celebration of this twentieth
century Independence day we should
pause in prayerful tribute to the
memory of those young Americans
and those sons of our allies who gave
their lives to perpetuate our liberties.
Their sacrifice was for us and our
future and their purpose must re-
main our purpose.

BY NEWTON C. PARKE

PARIS.-National tribute tina
Napoleon Bonaparte might envy wa!
paid to poilu who had given up his
life in the defense of verdun. This
was the manner in which France
celebrated Armistice Day. 1t was q
sentimental and dramatic coincidence
that both France and Great Britain
had decided that the highest form
the Armjstice day observance could
take was to pay homage to the OBJ
scure men Of the ranks who had died
fighting.
Nearly 100000 persons from all
parts of the republic stood bare
headed and silent as they watched
a detachment of 5000 picked troops
escorting the coffin containing the
body of the unknown private soldier
as it was borne on a gun carriage
from Place Denfert Bocharau to the
Arc de Triomphe, where it will rest
Professionally until decision is made
as to its final disposal.
Marshals of France and generals,
who were conspicuous in the hour of
victory, were in the procession, but
they marched unobstrusively and the
places of honor were given to the
poilus.
The coffin containing the unknown
soldier, was followed by carriage
bearing an urn with the heart of
Gambetta. Later in the afternoon
Gambetta's heart was returned to the
Pantheon.
The unknown poilus body will rest
in state in room on the first floor
of the Arc de Triomphe.
LONDON-Amidst Britian's most
illustrious dead an unknown soldier
was buried in West Minister Abbey
alongside the graves of kings and
field marshals. The simple epitaph
"An unknown warrior" is the only
eulogy upon the granite above the
grave, but the burial called forth
such solemn and impressive pomp
as might have been paid the memory
of the greatest soldier of the empire.
The burial ceremony took place
Immediately after the unveiling of
the Cenotaph-a great memorial
shaft erected in Central London to
the memory of the British empires
war dead-and was the chief feature
of the armistice celebration.
A simple, plain oak coffin was sent
to France and the body was brought
home on a warship. Senior officers
of the three fighting services-ad-
mirals of the fleet, field marshals and
air marshals-were selected to be
pail bearers. @
The ceremonies at the Cenotaph
took place just at II o'clock, the
hour at which firing ceased along the
western front on November II, 1918.
AS the great clocks in the towers of
the churches doomed out the hour
a deep and solemn silence fell, not
only upon the multitude in the
streets, but thruout the whole city.
