Home Service

A remittance Of nearly $4,000 was
received last week from the Treasury
Department, U. s. A., by Albert
Branch, administrator of the estate Of
JacObo Rodriguez, for his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Juan Jose Rodriguez,
as allowance tardily made him for ill
ness and death from tuberculosis con-
tracted in the army.
This, with the $4,000 insurance in
monthly payments, insures these
worthy old people a competence for
their declining years.
1t is not amiss at this time to call
attention to the fact that, but for the
management Of the case by the Home
Service Of the Red Cross at Roy, this
soldier would have left his parents
without any provision for their old
age. He was invalid, had allowed his
insurance to lapse and was keeping
away from the Red Cross and others
who would help him. He was located
an allowance secured for him and his
insurance reinstated for him. He was
cared for at a hospital in Denver dur
ing his last illness, the body embalm-
ed at his death and sent home for de-
cent sepulture by his friends, and
his parents provided for in their old
age.
But for the work Of the Home Ser
vice here, he would have died un-
known, been buried in the potters
field and the honor and compensa-
ton so justly his due, would not have
been accorded him, for those in au-
thority would not have known of his
case.
The cost of all the service rendered
to soldiers and civilians by the local
Red Cross is less than 6 per cent of
the returns in this case alone, and
the allowance, compensation and PEN
sions secured for other deserving ex-
soldiers amounts to as much or more
than the total Of this instance. The
remuneration paid the Secretary for
over two and a half years Of emer-
gency War Work, and six months paid
Home Service work, was 100000
The work is still going on. The
Home Service office is still open on
Mondays of each week at the office
of the S-A. the service being volun-
tary and unrequited save by the graft
tude Of those who have been and are
being helped by it. 1t is not job
to grow rich at, but there are com
pensations beyond mere money that
make it worth while
Mrs. Clarence Wright and some of
the younger children came up from
the ranch in La Cinta Canyon Tues
day and returned to their home in
Dawson. They find the ranch too
lonesome for them after living in
town most of the year. The boys are
staying here and looking after things
on the ranch. Her eldest daughter,
Mary, recently returned from an east
ern college and is employed in the big
store at Dawson. The other children
are fast growing up.

GOOD BOOKS AT
ALL CROSSROADS
American Library Association
Urges Adoption Of County
Library System.
IDEA PROVES SUCCESSFUL
California, the Pioneer-0theI
States Adopting the
Plan.

The American Library Association,
in announcing its Books for Every
body" movement, which is to be nation
wide in its scope, advises and urges the
extension Of the county library system
as a solution Of the problem of supply.
ing good literature 10 the rural dis.
tricts. Its intention is to persist IN
advocating the nationwide adoption
of the idea as successfully applied in
California, Ohio and Maryland until
every one of the 1894 counties in the
nation have adopted the system and
regular shipments ofSgood books are
being made from the central point in
tha county to the designated Outposts.
California stands out as the highpoint
in the successful application of the
idea. OF the SO counties in the state
AZ have adopted and are supporting the
system at a trifling cost. This 1t urges
as part Of its enlarged program which
aims to promote better citizenship
and to combat the social and industrial
unrest through the teaching Of Ameri.
can ideals and traditions to the foreign
born.
The book needs Of the sixty million
or more Americans who live outside Of
the big cities will be called to the at
tention of those in a position to serve
them.
County Libraries Urged.
The county library system provides
for establishing one central library at
the county seat or in the largest town
in every county. This does not mean
necessarily the erecting OF a library

Fair at Roy?

Next November the voters of this
state will be asked to vote upon the
question of issuing $2,OOO,OOO in
thirty year bonds at per cent in
terest. The proceeds of these bonds
are to be expended in the several
counties of the state according to
their assessed valuation of property,
If roads are to be built that will out
last the period Of the redemption,
5000 mile is a moderate estimate
Of the cost. On this basis only 1870
miles Of permanent road can be built
in the whole state, or less than an av-
erage of five miles to the county, and
this takes Federal aid of $2,000,000
into consideration. 1t should also be
kept in mind that upon the principal
Indebtedness Of 100000 the state
will pay at least $2,0OO,0O0 in inter
est, thus making the roads cost $780,
600 per mile. If the bonds are sold
at 20 per cent discount the total mile
age will not amount to more than
100 miles Of permanent roads, less
than an average of 31s miles to the
county, with federal aid funds.
"What shall New Mexico do as to
the proposed bond issue under condi-
tions as they are?" is question for
the earnest consideration of taxpay-
ers throughout the state.
The question is, are we or are we
not going to have FAIR here in
Roy this year? If we are, its time
to get busy. Time to get busy NOW.
You all know what fair does for
town, how it livens a town up,
brings business, adds to the life Of
the town. How it adds that myster-
ious quality called Pep to town.
Let's get together some time soon
and plan a real Fair. Plan to have.
crop exhibits, exhibits of stock, house
hold exhibits. Let's have some real
races, some real sports. Let's have
midway as long as main street and
something doing on that midway
every minute.
We want real fair in Roy this
year, fair that people will talk
about, fair to remember. Let's have
a fair so good that in 1850 the old
timers will say Eyes, but you should
have seen the fair we had here in
192O,p
Last year was banner year on the
Mesa. This year will be good one
despite the. hail losses. Let's adver-
tise it, folks. Let's inform the world
that the Mesa is a mighty good place
to live, that it raises some good crops,
that people make money here.
Advertising pays. Let's have fair
and advertise the Mesa.

man the Malay race has produced.
Rial, who spoke seven languages
and was cultured and much travelled

across the United States), earned the
enmity Of Spanish governors in the
Philippines by protesting against the
oppression Of the Filipino people. AS
q boy he had witnessed. scenes that
sent shafts Of grief into his poet
soul, and he early dedicated his life
to the liberation Of his Gland adOred."
At the risk Of his life, and at the
sacrifice Of his career, friends and
loved ones, he became the spokesman
for the stifed grievances Of the voice
less multitude, and thus became "the
living indictment of SPANS wretched
colonial system"
Rial could have saved his life. as
he had been warned by friends not to
return to the islands. He could not
be dIssuaded, but before returning to
Manila left letter with a friend in
Hongkong to be opened after his
death, in which he wrote. "Gladly do
