They'd Met Before.

My first attempt proving a failure, I embarked a second time upon the matrimonial seas. We returned from our honeymoon by way of a little town where my new husband had busi- ness interests. That afternoon, much to my surprise, met an old school mate of mine on the street. She made me promise that we would dine with her the next evening.
 I'm newly wed, too," she ex- plained, "and want you to mee' Harry"
 For me most delicious dinner was spoiled. Harry proved to be my first husband experienced the most em- barrassing moment of my life when my friend exclaimed, 70, you're acquaint. ed !"-Chicago Tribune.

Buried Rome.

Archeologists in France have been greatly encouraged by the success which has attended the excavations in Provence in search of more Roman architectural remains. It is thought, owing to the extent of the discoveries, that 1t will be possible to bring to light the roads which existed between the various Roman establishments of the south of France. Inscriptions and sculptured fragments have been found at Die in the Drome, aQueducts, an i'm mense gymnasium, Q metropolis and ramparts at Orange; while at Watson the Roman theater having been fully revealed, the statues discovered there In fragments are being pieced in the neighboring museum. There is a Sabina, Tiberius, Hadrian and an Augustus.

London's Slow Library Methods.

Before war started Germany was planning library large enough to hold 10.000.0O0 books. Although this would have been the largest library in the world, it is by no means certain that 1t would have been the most use ful. Students and business men, too, find the Now York public library much more generally helpful than the Brit ish museum library, though the latter possesses three times as many books. Comparatively few Londoners, says contemporary, can spare the time to visit Bloomsbury and sit vacantly for an hour under the great dome of the reading room while the books required are being sought.

Resiqned to Fate.

In the early days of the war a group of optimistic young men assembled at the officers training camp at Fort Myer, Va, with all the necessary ap- purtenances of officers, from spurs to an extra pair of field glasses. Later on, as it became necessary for the authori- ties to hand out little pink slips and one-way tickets home, 1t grew into a custom for the departing candidates to auction off his equipment.
 One Saturday morning Captain Blank said sharply to Candidate Jones of Company x:
 "Mr. Jones, drill the company"

ANOTHER TIEIJP ON BANkHEAD
RULING BY JUDGE HAYNlE YES TERDAY APPARENTLY HAS PUT A CRIMP IN NEVADA'S SECTION OF HIGHWAY.

By decision handed down yester- day by Judge c. R. Haynie at an ad- journed term of the January Circuit Court, the previous ruling of County Judge J W. Franks in the matter ot the termination If Road Improvement District No. was sustained. The act of the last legislature creating the Road District No. 2 provided for the termination of Road District No. by an order of the County Court. The act also provided that if the county did not terminate District No. l, that it's commissioners should be free to proceed with the work If the district. District No. and Sections one and three of District No. 2 have practical ly the same territory through which 1t is proposed to build section of the Bankhead Highway.
 The case will be appealel to the Supreme Count. Unless reversed by the Supreme Court the effect ol the q ing will D., 70 make it in.l' ,&cJl al to build the Nevada County Section of the Ba1Kitead Highw ay except ar a much greater expense to the tax payers. Road District No. has se- cured from the State Highway De- partment an allotment of $68,O0O to be used on the construction of the roads but for which, they would have hesitated to build any roads on ac- count of the exceeding high cost of construction. This money would not be available for the use of any other district.
 The Commissioners or great maj ority of them of both districts prefer to build the road under District No. ? under the circumstances on account of the great los to the tax payers if a change should be made.

PLANS BEING MADE
FOR HOME ECONOMICS
BUILDING AT u. N. NJ.

At a meeting of the. executive
committee of the board of regents
on Wednesday, May 5. at the office
of A. A. SedillO, the tentative plans
for the home economics building G t
the state university were considered
and steps We're taken for the imme-
date completion of the specifica-
tions and the calling for bids in the
near future.
1t has been decided that one unit
of a comprehensive structure Will
be erected during the summer
months. This unit will cost about
$4,000. Recently President Hill
sent A. X. Leopold upon a trip OF
inspection of eight or nine colleges
having home enomonic depart
ments, for the purpose of obtaining
the latest ideas concerning build
ings for such work. Mr.. Leopold is
now drawing up the detailed spec
ifications according to the general
ideas adopted by the board. Nearly
$4,000 of the cost Of this building
comes from the free-will subscrlp-
tons of citizens of Albuquerque
through the efforts of the Chamber
of Commerce. More than 100 per
sons contributed to the fund and
the money is still coming in. Presi-
dent Hill regards these gifts from
the citizens of Albuquerque. the
first of which was made by G. A.
as a token of the prac-
teal interest that the people of the
city have in the state institution
here located.

day at 8 p. IN. at the Chamber of

United States district attorney. Re-
lief for the state from the present
high prices it is hoped will come as
a result of the meeting, he said.
The sugar dealers are still oper-
ating under license. Mr.. Burkhart
stated. I'VE will attempt to de-
terfhine what a fair margin of
profit is. Violations of the law can
be prosecuted. We contend that
dealers should not sell at replace
ment prices. which they hold is
justifiable. when it is difficult to
get sugar
An investigation by District At

ty returned yesterday noon from

aries, in accordance with the re-
cent ruling by Assistant Attorney
General Harry 6. Bowman.
The superintendent, Mrs. Wilson
stated, agreed that q blanket" SAL
ary, without reference to time of
service or merit, ought not to be
paid, but that the increase should
be made on the basis of prepara-
ton long service and adaptablity
to the profession. Mrs. Wilson pre-
scented the resolution of Bernalillo
county board of education to the
effect that teachers salaries
should be increased and that the
minimum certificate of preparation
for teachers in the rural schools be
first grade certificates and two
years normal training.

spoke on "Law Enforcement" and
Or. c. r. Waller of the state de-
partment of health. l.. A. Gillett,

Schools" ....t..a
Emphasis was laid on the cam
paign of education to begin, in
which all teachers are expected TO
take an active part and to impress
the children of the rural schools
with the principles of Americanism,
of the use of libraries, and of prac-
teal preparation for a trade or pro-
fession; subjects specially advocat-
ed by the board of education.

There has naturally been
considerable wear on the
system, and as spring time
approaches, your body must
be put back into condition.
Any piece of machinery
needs care and attention,
and the human body is no
exception.
Nearly every human all
ment can be traced, one way
or another, to impurities in
the blood. And after a hard
winter season these impuri-
ties have accumulated in the
blood, and a t h roug h
cleansing is of great impor-
lance, as any slight disorder
or impurity that creeps into
the blood is a source of dan
ger, for every vital organ of
the body depends upon the
blood supply to properly
perform it's functions.
Keeping well and enjoying
the blessings of health is
mainly a matter of resisting
disease, and this depends
largely upon the condition
of your blood supply. If it
is thin and impoverished,

reach a low state by the as

Ne v MEXICO IS
NEXT GREATEST
GUSHER FIELD
(By John W. McGec.)

! New Mexico beyond a question of
doubt is destined to become the
next great oil field of America.
The oil fever throughout the entire
state is at its height. Many emf
nent biologists are located in the
state and they are all of the opin-
| ion that the next few months will
prove the greatest oil structure
That can be found any place in the
world. From a geological stand
point. the structure in New Mexico
surpasses many of the worlds
greatest oil pools.
Every county in the state is re-
eeiving a play, and from Tucum-
carl to Carlsbad, on every hand,
new locations are being made, rigs
are being erected, material is be-
ing hauled to every point in the
state. Many of the companies
which have been closed down dur
ing the winter, have resumed
drilling operations A number Of
wells are being watched with great
Interest by some of the largest
producing companies. Some of the
principal wells of the following
companies such as the Des Moines
Oil and Gas company, Shorty Cob
bier, and American Producers as
ISOLATION in Union county, Bene-
DUN Trees NJ. d. Oil and Gas COM
pany, and Harry McGee's wells in
Quay county, the Spaulding Dome
and Clay divers we'll in De Baca
county, the Mesa, Nu-Mex and
Roosevelt Oil companies wells in
Roosevelt county, the National Ex-
ploration No. l, 2, 3, and the Toltec
wells in Lincoln and Chaves coun-
ties, the Illinois Producers No. /
and 2, near Dayton and Lakewood,
Eddy county,; the II. e. Cantrell well
and Kansas-Carlsbad Oil company's
well in the southern part of Eddy
county; the Tularosa Basin OIL
company and the Olean-N New Mex
leo OH company and the Detroit
Oil companys well in Dona Ana
county, and many others are GER
tain to produce the worlds next
greatest gusher field.
Every train pulling into the state
is loaded with people who have
been attracted to New Mexico by
the flattering geological reports |
There are thousands of people |
touring the state in automobiles in |
search of oil leases and making in |
vestments. There are millions of |
dollars being spent for drilling.
More than $50 companies are ope-
rating in the state Oil leases |
which sold less than a year ago, !
for 10 cents to 25 cents an acre. |
are now bringing as high as 5000 |
per acre for offsets to some of |
the wells now drilling. New Mex
leo offers the greatest possibilities
for the small investor, as well as
the operating companies Great |
fortunes will be made in the state
this year as it is virgin territory,
and that the state contains oil has
been absolutely proved by the
Brown well at Artesia. This well
spasmodically gives up as much as
500 barrels per hour. This we'll Is
one of the freaks of nature, and n
great deal of money has been
spent trying to case off the artc-
sian water flow, so that the wen
might be drilled deeper.
In Mckinley county oil is being
produced at 1921 feet. 1t will be but
I question of a short time until
he mother pool has been hit by
me of the wells now drilling.

Cleanse Out the System
and Get Ready for Spring

formulation of impurities,
you have not sufficient vi
tally to resist the millions
of tiny disease germs which
are ready to attack you on
every hand, and they will
! find a fertile field in your
system to spread disease.
So, right now, probably
more than at any other sea-
son of the year, you should
take a thorough course of
treatment to cleanse the
blood thoroughly and put
your system in good robust
condition to be prepared for
the coming of summer. And
of course, you will want the
best blood tonic that you
can obtain.
More than a hundred
years ago, the Indians made
an excellent blood remedy,
which was handed down to
posterity, and has been sold
regularly in drug stores
throughout the land for
more than half a century.
This remedy is S. S. S.,
which is still made from the
medicinal roots and herbs
gathered from the forests,
and is recognized as one of
the most efficient blood ton
les ever compounded.
