and Others in Auto Accident.

As a result of head-on collision
about O'Clock Tuesday morning last
between a Government truck, driven
by Mr. Edward Pickerell, and a Ford
car, driven by Mr.. George Higgs, in
which were riding County Commits
sioner John H. Reeder,. and bis son,
Mr.. John H. Reederss Jr., the former
was quite badly, but not seriously in
jured, Mr.. H:ggs had three teeth
knocked out. and Mr.. Reeder, Jr. &,
considerably bruised and shaken up.
Commissioner Reeder's injuries con-
sist of severe cuts and bruises
about the head and body. No bones
were broken
The accident occurred at a curve in
the Rock Point State Road about five
miles below this town, and is said to
have due principally to the fact that
heavy growth of trees obstructed
the views of the respective drivers un-
til it was unavoidable. It is also said
that the Ford car, which was on its way
to La Plata, where Mr.. Reeder was to
attend a session of his Court, was hug
cling the left side of the road closely,
while the Government truck, south
bound, was on the same side.
The injured men were hurriedly put
in the Government truck and brought
to La Plata, where Doctors Spence +
and Higdon rendered all medical aid
possible, after which Commissioner
Reeder was taken to his home, where
he has our best wishes for a speedy
recovery.

Correction.

We are in receipt OF letter from
Mr.. W. B. S. Chapman, OF Spring
Hill, in which he says we erred last
week in our report OF the automobile
accident which occurred in front OF
Coehfane a. Co.'S store, this town, on
the night OF the sth instant, by stating
that his car, which was run into by
States Attorney Cooksey's car, dis
played no lights at the time.
In reply to Mr.. Chapman's letter,
we wish to advise that gentleman that
it is far from our intention at all times
to misrepresent facts, and that had we
not been so informed regarding the
lights on his car, we would have re-
ported the matter differently. Mis-
takes are human, however, and while
We have never had reason Tor doubt
ing our informant, we accept with good
grace MIR. Chapman's statement that
his car was sitting close to Mr.. Coch-
rane's porch, with lights turned on,
and every thing in order, according to
automobile rules. ard beg 20 close

Large Gathering OF Tobacco Growers.

One OF the largest gatherings uf far
mers ever seen Ia La Plata assembled
here Saturday afternoon last to attend
the meeting Of the Maryland Tobacco
Growers Association. As soon as
the meeting was called in the Court
House it was found that that building
was too small to hold the crowd,
so ii was decided to move to the Town
Hall. Even this hall was not large
enough to admit all who were present.
Many left because even standing room
was not available,
f. Brooke Matthews presided. He
strongly urged the importance OF a
larger membership. He stated that
the price of tobacco had broken In all
the tobacco-growing states with the
exception of Maryland, and that the
present association was the only thing
that held the price for Maryland to-
bacco.
George H. Stevenson, manager of
the association, gave statistics show
ing how one Of the buyers and the
commission men were working to break
up the association.
The next speaker was Thomas Par
ran, president Of association. Mr..
Parran explained that their aim is not
to get exhorbitant prices, but to be so
situated that they can demand price
for their product that will give the
farmer fair profit on growing tobac-
co. He told how tobacco had adj
vaneed from % to 80 cents on the Bal
timore market within one week after
the Maryland Tobacco Growers Asso-
citation was formed. i.i
Messrs. w Mitchell Qigges, Harry
Cramer and +. Stone Posey also made
speeches and Urged every grower of
to5accoito become member of the
association.

Agricultural Notes.
RATS a


This is my annual on rats. They
have not become any less destructive
since last fall, when | tried to write
them up. They destroy enough food in
one year to pay for rat-proof bins and
boxes. There is only way that know
to get rid OF them and that is to stop
feeding them. Easier said than done.
Yes, very much, but have we tried our
best to put our feed for the chickens,
COWS and horses in boxes or barrels
from which we can exclude the rats
Let us try that, now that our little
,chickens are grown the rats will let
them alone,
The rats and mice are coming into
the barns and houses from the fields
and they will destroy hundreds of dol
lars worth Of food and clothing before
we know what has happened. Let us
be on the watch for them and with
traps and cats and poison catch and
kill all we can. But a careless neigh
Dor can keep us supplied with them for
years TO come. Let us make this a
neighborhood cleaned out as fast as
we can. Often neighbor does not
know what he is harboring. He will
help us if we go at him in the right
spirit.

The Grim Reaper has again invaded
a happy home and taken therefrom its
greatest treasure. In the very sad
and quite sudden death Of Mrs. Louise
Mudd Edelen, wife Of DR.. James j.
EdeIen, of Bryantown, which occurred
at Providence Hospital, Washington,
Tuesday morning last. following, and
from the effects OF an operation for ap-
pendicitis, universal and great sorrow
Is being expressed. Only a snort time
ago she was in our city, apparently in
the best OF health and jovial spirits:
today she lies beneath the sod in Bry-
antown's churchyard, mourned and re-
vered by an who knew her, for, in the
language Of the poet" None knew her
but TO love her. none named her but to
praise.
The deceased, who was in the 3lst
year OF her age, was the eldest daugh-
ter of the late f. De Sales Mudd, OF
Bryantown and, besides her husband {,
is survived by two brothers and two
sisterS-Honi John F. Mudd and Mr..
Richard Mudd, Misses Imogine and
Gertrude Mudd.
Mrs. Edelen was q lady of charming
personality, bright and winning in her
wavs. and friendships circle to her
was a large one. Her home instincts
were strong, and her affection for kim
dred and friends tender and abiding.
Among all she ranked always as a
woman of culture, refinement, sympa-
thy--a kind neighbor, devoted wife and
sister, true friend.
Our profound sympathy is extended
her grief-stricken husband, brothers
and sisters, from whom much has been
taken sweet ties have been severed. but
much is left. The Christians hope and
fadeless memories are theirs.
Mrs. Edelen's remains were brought
to the county and, following Requiem
Mass, solemnized by Rev. Father Con-
roy at St. Maryis Catholic Church,
Thursday morning, were tenderiy lad
to rest in the cemetery of that church.

DEAN H0DGIN GIVES
HISTORY OF u. N. NJ.
ST. PATRICK'S NIGHT

A history of the University of
New Mexico was given last night at
the conclusion of the St Patrick's
day exercises in Rodey hall by Dean
Hodgin, who is next TO the Oldest
member of the faculty. Dean
Hodgin went back to the old days
when the university consisted of
only two buildings, and produced
relics of interest of which there are
no duplicates, one of which is a
poster gotten up to advertise a
baseball game getween faculty and
students, or pupils as they were
referred to then. This poster states
that the student colors were green,
and those Of the faculty black and
blue.
The university was twenty-five
years old, said Dean Hodgin, before
it had more than one hundred
students. Thereafter it increased
each year, although it fluCtuated
greatly. until with the S, A. T. G..
there was an enrolment of 431 last
year. Practically every tree on the
campus was planted by students on
the various arbor days which were
made a great deal of by one of
the presidents.
Miss Parsons is the senior men,
Der of the faculty, having seen the
establishment of the university in
September, 1892. Dean Hodgin is
the next in line, followed by Miss
Ethel Hickey and fourth by Pro-
fessor A. o. Weese, who is a COM
parative newcomer, having become
! member of the faculty only in
1911.
Today the state university is an
institution with main building, en-
gineering and chemistry build
ings, two dormitories, and several
fraternity buildings, large and
attractive campus, and fund for
a new domestic science building,
The outlook for the state univer-
sity was never brighter, said Dean
Hodgin in concluding his reminis-

AV|ATORS LEAVE
AF TER TWO DAYS
SPENT ON MESA

After thrilling the dwellers of the
Duke City for two days with their
sudden flights over the roors OF the
business buildings and the homes
of the city, the United States army
aviators who have spent the past
week in New Mexico in behalf of
the army recruiting service, left
yesterday noon for Ell Paso, like
homing pigeons returning to their
cotes.
The aviators and their planes
were invited here by the Chamber
of Commerce to exhibit during the
auto show, two planes arriving at
that time, one of which came to
grief by injuring a wing in alight-
ing, The plane was forced to lay
over here for repairs, and two 9TH
ers of the squadron came up from
FL Paso to take their place at the
Santa F'e auto show Friday, Satur-
day and Sunday. They were met
with great enthusiasm and executed
some thrillers for the Santa Feans,
Tuesday morning No. IL, piloted
by Lieutenant PIosser, appeared
Unexpectedly and within few
hours two other planes material
lied, so that complete squadron
was on the landing field on the
mesa at one time. A number of cit
liens enjoyed maiden trips in the
planes, among them being Dr.. Da
vid Spence Hill, president of the
university who went up Wednesday
morning by special permission of
Major King, Nick Napoleon, me-
chanic. and Jack O'Connell,
