NO. MEMO DIDN'T
GET MARRIED

Mr.. Memo Chadwick came very
near being married Wednesday after
noon, just about as near as he has
ever been and really not experience
the real thing. Wednesday after
noon when Memo accompanied by
the Baptist preacher hastily left his
barber shop and drove off in his
"Baby" Overland, Rain-in-the-face
Berry, High Pockets, Handsome Ed
and the Parson all gazed after the
f.eeting Memo and Preacher in
speeechless amazement and wonder.
Unanimously the quartet of hack
saw and soap bubble artists conclud-
ed that their Chesterfield "Boss" had
finally made up his mind to either
commit suicide or mtrimony. The
quartet of ''little shavers" were
doomed to disappointment again (as
on several previous occasions) as
"Chad" came back in about an hour
without a yoke or any other kind Of
double harness attache to his anat-
omy-he came as before, Single"
and alone. "Chad" refused to
answer the "boys" questions and
gave them to understand it was none
Of their darned business why he
didn't get married then, now or at
any future time. He assured them,
however, that it wasn't his fault
that he hadn't married many years
ago as he had done his level best and
didn't know of but two fellows in
the whole world who had tried as
hard as he had and failed, and named
Ike Shaw of Coffeeville and John
Hodnett of this city as the other
two failures. This Is leap year and
maybe there is chance for Chad
yet.

obvious to any one who has seen
them that 1 hardly know what to
say. However. from what l have
been able to observe there is more
alkili land in the central Rio
Grande valley than I have ever
seen in the same space of ground
before. There is also some of thS
best land in the valley that / have
ever seen. if it was only drained.
Every acre in the valley should be
producing good paying crops. The
valley is so situated that it should
be intensively farmed. At the pres
ent time there is a great deal of
vacant land and non productive
land and land that never will be
productive until a drainage system
has been put in and the longer it

there is the ever present knocker

letting the other fellow do it and
throwing the monkey wrench into

When asked of the benefits of
drainage projects that have been
undertaken and completed in the
lower valley, Mr.. Schmalhausen
said:
The people of the lower valley
where drainage has been put into
effect claim an increase in preduc-
ton of over one hundred per cent.
Many apple and pear orchards and
vineyards, that We're practically
worthless are now coming back.
Alfalfa land that was drained, in
most cases had to be reseeded and

COURT APPROVES
ORGANIZATION OF
DRAINAGE WORK
R. J. SChmalhausen, Well.
Known Government En-
gineer, Gives Views On
Drainage District.

The approval of the district court
was given yesterday for the forma-
ton of the South Albuquerque
drainage district and will direct
ten county commissioners to name
a day when three drainage commits
sioners can be elected TO handle the
affairs of the district.
At the hearing yesterday there
was no objection made by any of
the sixteen signers of the petition,
The different members have al
ready entered into negotiations
looking to u survey of the land and
the awarding of the contract for
the work, with the Jennings En-
gineer and Construction company
of El Paso, which is represented in
Albuquerque by r. j. Schmalhau-
sen, the vice president.
During the past few weeks Mr..
Schmalhausen has been in Albu-
querque and vicinity engaged in
the exploration of the coal re-
sources in Sandoval county.
Mr. Schmalhausen is one of the
most prominent engineers of the
Southwest having been superin-
tendent of construction of the Ele-
phant Butte dam from the time ~
was begun until it was finished.
One of his greatest achievements,
however, was the building of the
Bolivian railroad across the Andes
mountains. During the past three
years he has been I'M charge of
the three most important drainage
projects in the state of Texas.
When seen yesterday in regard
TO the Albuquerque drainage prof.
ect and the work to be done in the

Rheumatism Germs
Get Busy in Spring

did chance for you to rid
yourself of the disease.
First of all, get it firmly
fixed in your mind that all
the liniments in the world
have no effect whatever on
Rheumatism. You may use
them by the gallon, and rub
the painful parts by the
hour, getting possibly some
temporary relief from the
torturing pains, but you are
making no Roadway what
ever toward reaching the
cause of the disease.
The most common form of
Rheumatism is caused by
millions of tiny disease
germs which infest the
blood. The one and only
sensible treatment, tnefe"
fore, is one which cleanses
the blood of these germs,
and routs them entirely out
of the circulation. And ev-
eryone knows that this cam
not be done by rubbing the
surface with liniments.
This is why S. S. S., the
greatest known blood puri-
fer is so successful in the
treatment of Rheumatism.
1t is a powerful cleanser of
the blood, being composed
entirely of the extracts of
roots and herbs of recog-
nized medicinal value, and
it PROMPTLY routs out of the
blood all disease germs. S,
S. S. has been used for more
than half a century, and it
will prove beneficial in any
case of Rheumatism.

Refunded to Local Post of
S American Legion.

Carnival companies were perma-
nently barred from showing in
Albuquerque and resolution was
adopted 10y unanimous vote refund
ing to the American legion the $500
license paid by them, at meeting
Of city commissioners last night
The city manager was authorized
to spend 5000 in cleaning up tie al
leys and streets of the city this
week. An application from resi-
dents in Reynolds addition, asking
that water service be extended
from Iron avenue from Tenth to
Thirteenth streets, was acted upon
favorahly and the city manager in
structed to choose the best pipe
from the supply now on hand for
the work. No new pipe is avdild-
bic.
Additional paving was ordered as
follows: The alley between Central
and Copper from Fourth to Eighth
streets, alley between Central ana
Gold avenues from Fourth to Sey-
enth streets, Roma avenue from
First to Fifteenth streets. A sur
vey of Walter street to Marquette
avenue was ordered with the idea
of extending the street to the city
limits. Arrangements were made
to have a clerk in the city water Of
flee remain during n part of the
noon hour to accommodate labor
ing men who desire to pay their
bills at that time.
Refund 5000 to Legion.
A resolution was introduced
reading to the effect that the local
post of the American legion had
contracted to the carnival COM
pany to pay its license and was en-
tirely dependent Oh the receipts
over and above license fee and
other contract expenses for gain,
and that the gain would be only
nominal if the $500 license fee were
not refunded; therefore,
"The members of the city COM
mission individually and as an
organization feel that the Ameli-
can legion should have compensa-
ton for the effort made toward OBJ
tanning funds for the objects and
aims hereinbefore mentioned.
BE it resolved, that the city
treasurer be, and hereby is, in
structed to issue a warrant for $500
reimbursing the American legion
for the amount of the license
money heretofore paid and eXpend-
ed, this resolution, however, not to
be considered to establish a prece-
dent in matters of this kind, the
sense of the commissioners being
that the American legion should be
dealt with on a different footing
than fraternities, organizations and
other aggregatiOns which have
heretofore contracted with carni-
val companies under practically the
same conditions"
An ordinance was passed prohih-
iting any carnival, street show or
any other like amusement, enter
prise or organization" to show in
the city and that no licenses for
any kind shall ever be granted by
the city to such carnival, street
show or other like amusement. A
penalty of $500 or ninety days in

On the streets every day
you see the results of i'm
roper and misdirected
treatment. You see victims
of this painful and disabling
disease, limping through life,
their limbs bent and stiff
and their bodies tortured
with aching joints, until you
wonder how they can bear
so much continued suffering.
If you are beginning to
feel the first slight touches
of Rheumatism, there is Just
as much pain and suffering
ahead of you, if you follow
blindly in the same misdi-
rected footsteps of unintelli-
gent treatment. For remem-
Der that all these thousands
of victims of this painful
disease have spent countless
hours no doubt, as well as
their hard-earned dollars in
a vain effort to find a cure.
And your own experience
will be just as disappointing
as theirs, if you follow The
old, WORKOUT and worthless
methods of treatment.
The whole trouble is that
the symptoms of the disease
are being treated, and not
the disease itself. When you
realize that you must get
rid of the cause of Rheuma-
tism, and that it's torturing
pains will disappear when
their cause is removed, then
you will be on the right
track, and there is a splen-
