Buys Large Tract Of
Aztec Co. Grazing Land

The largest land deal ever con-
sumated in Navajo county took
place at WinsIow this week when
E. R. Chambers purchased ap-
proximately 324 square miles of
grazing land between Chevalon
and Silver Creek from the Aztec
Land and Cattle Company. The
deal includes the once famous
home of this large land and cat
tie company. The purchase
price of this large amount of
land runs into several hundreds
of thousands of dollars. and the
deal was put through by r. C.
Kaufman, resident manager of
the Aztec Land and Cattle Com
pany.
Mr.. Chambers is one of Nava-
jo county's most successful and
progressive stockmen, and is
among the first to realize that in
order to run stock in the near
future the stockman must of ne
cessity purchase and fence his
range, as the good old days
when the country was free to
all and yod had the whole out
side for a range is fast passing,
caused by the increased value
of land and the numerous home
steaders who are fast fencing up
their acreage. ~ WinsloW Mali.

Wear No Socks, He Says,
And Live to Be $50

CINCINNATI.-A recipe for a
long and healthy life, formulated by
Henry w. DRESSER, a Cincinnati
range maker, has been offered by it's
author to Secretary Of War Baker for
adoption by the army. For thirteen
years, Dressler, who is rs, has fol-
lowed these rules:
No socks; no underwear; canvas
shoes; no drinking water; no pork;
little meat of any kind; no pepper,
little salt; no ice cream, little Of
sweets; plenty of vegetables, bread
and cereals.
THE persons who obey the laws of
nature will, without any illness and
discomfort live to be $50 years old, y
he said. In explaining his program,
Dressler said that using canvas shoes
helps him to combat the cost of liv-
ing. He drinks coffee and beer in
preference to water, but beer is being
dropped from the menu now.
Every day folks commit these
seven violations of the laws of ma
ture," he said:
Shutting off air from the body by
weaving clothing; drinking water
and liquids colder than nature offers
them; lying down more than eight
hours day; washing the head with
out washing the feet and legs first;
smoking and chewing tobacco, vast
ing saliva, and failing to exercise.

NO INTERVENTION
FROM WILSON IN
MEXICO LIKELY

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The IA
mfIiar old Mexican crisis" is a
thing Of the past, as far as this
administration is concerned.
kidnapping OF Joseph Askew by
Mexican bandits will not be permit
ted to develop into anything ap-
preaching Crisis" it has been
learned authoritatively. Carranza. has
been asked to rescue Askew and
there may be an exchange Of notes.
but the specter of trouble will be
kept in the background.
The administration evidently has
determined to hand the Mexican
problem over to the next president
and it's policy is to refuse to get
excited over Carranza's antics, un-
less there is some really serious
break comparable, for example, to
Villas raid in 1916.
Meanwhile, however, the govern
ment is watching events in Mexico
with the greatest interest. The
Mexican presidential elections in
July, it is believed here, may result
in victory for a candidate who will
be friendly TO the United States, in
stead Of covertly hostile like Can
rama. In that event the Mexican
problem probably will cease to ex-
list before President Wilson leaves
the White House.
Revolutionary developments below
the border are also being watched
with keen attention.
