LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY BEING
PUT ON ITS FEET AGAIN BY
WAR FINANCE CORPORATION

Washington, Nov. 22-The War
Finance Corporation announces the or
ganization of a new livestock loan
company at Albuquerque. New Mex
leo. The company is composed OF
livestock men, bankers and business
men, with a subscribed capital stock
OF $4,000. II will receive advances
from the Corporation for the pur-
pose OF assisting the livestock in
dustrv in New Mcxico. This i oniv
one of many livestock companies which
are now being formed in cooperation
with the War Finance Corporation.
Another such company is being
formed in southwestern Kansas with
a capital stock of not less than $780,
coo. with the probability that $l,0O-
900 will be subscribed. The corpora
ion has agreed TO make large adj
vances to this company as soon as
its organization is complete.
Still a third company now being
formed is capitalized at 100000 and
is composed OF livestock interests in
the vicinity OF Houston, Texas. A
great many other livestock companies
are in process of formation but have
reached the point of completion
where the War Finance Corpora
ton can finance them.
The effect OF all this is TO relieve
the pressure upon the livestock mark

FEAR AND HARD TIMES

Thomas A. Edison, the noted in

preston was caused by fear. The
people have been frightened out OF
good times, unnecessarily So" he
saws.
Fear OF the wolf makes people
stop buying. Then business stag

The pessimist is ruled by fear.
Optimism has been defined as
nothing but the absence of fear. Get
rid of fear. be optimistic, and bust
ness will be good, according to Edi-
son.
He is right.
The same reasoning is true of ev-

MOI NTAINAIR Is ONE OF
THE BUSIEST TOWNS IN
THE SUNSHINE STATE

Mountainair, n. NJ, Nov. 10
Building continues briskly. 1t has
been a busy building season. More
than sixty-fve buildings have been
completed or are under way at pre-
sent Several have Just been start
ed during the last week or two. The
cost varies from a few hundred dol
lars to 100000
The new home of the Citizens
Bank. costing $4,000. 90 is nearly
ready. The Independent has out
grown its quarters and the wide
awake owner and editor, p. A. Speck-
man is building a real print shop
30xSO feet. This will have a con
crete floor and otherwise be fully
equipped for an %up-to-date printing
office.
Mountainair is fortunately locat-
ed from every point of view. Back
to the north a few miles in the Ma
Zano mountains is fine timber. Three
saw mills with a daily capacity OF
10000 feet are busily cutting lum-
Der, not only for local use but for
shipment from Mountainair. There
is also fine building stone and clay.
So home material is handy.
The school district has a cOmmod-
ious building, at one time considered
extrayagantly large, but now crowd-
ed, and is building two stone build
ings in the country. The increase in
school population has been surpris-
ingly large.
Mountainair is emerging from the
village stage rapidly. Much concrete
sidewalk has been laid this season
and more is planned to go in soon.
1t is remarkable that nearly all
the capital invested here has been
made in this district. The early set
tiers brought limited means. but
have been successful. The leading
crop so far is the pinto bean. This
has grown in importance from year
to year until il requires three big
warehouses to handle the crop. In
1914 the total shipment was twelve
ears while this year the total Will be
around the 500 car mark.
But the farming industry is broad
Wheat, oats, Indian Corn, Sor-
and other crops are being
,rown. Various garden and truck
produce well, and the qua
ity is high. Shipping cream is be-
general. Others are grow
ng and feeding hogs.
On the whole the Mountainair Sec
ion has had a good year and looks
or a large increase in crop produc-
ion in 1922.

1 FINANCIAL ASSET

One of the largest factors in keep
ing business alive and the state of
New Mexico fairly prosperous during
the past year, while live stock and
farm product prices are being ad-
justed to the pre-war basis, has been
the elaborate State Highway pro-
gram that has been under constr1c-
ton.
AT the present time thirty five
Federal Aid projects are under con-
struction. Some of these are as
much as ni~nety-eight per cent COM
pleted while others have only re-
Gently been started. The total cost
OF these thirty-tive projects is 49,
$4,000 and the average on the lot
is about half completed, with that
proportion paid for and the money
on hand for the other half. In adj
dition to these contracts the State
Highway department is constructing
several projects in connection with
the Forest Service, known as Forest
Aid projects and a number of others
for counties, under special leVies
which increases the grand total for
roads now being built directly by, or
under the direction of the state, to
about $4,000, 600.
Up to this time t~wenty-One pro-
jects have been completed at a total
cost for all, of over a little less thar
$4,000, 900 These projects, COM
pleted and under construction, affect
every county in the state in proper
ton to the mount of the taxable
assessment OF each.
The new appropriation bill approx
ed by President Harding on the ninth
of this month carries $1,1S9,S23,
which on the new basis of appor-
tionment, will require only about
s450,000 from the state.
Besides this the provisions of the
appropriation bill above referred to
effect all contracts back to July l.,
1921, so hat of the last two and a
quarter million worth of work con
tracted the state will pay only about
$500, 600 instead of $l,150,000. or in
other words make a saving of $3.50
900. This does not mean hat the
amount of work will be decreased,
or curtailed to that extent which is
not the case. as the available funds
are sufficient to carry the work right
along and thus give the taxpayers
the benefit of the 81 per cent gov
eminent aid to 80 per cent state
aid on everything from July l, 1921
on, indefinitely This of course full
fills the prediction made by the State
Record last fall during the campaign
the road bond issue hat the So
600 900 worth of bonds would result
in the construction of owe 50, 600
900 worth of roads in the state.
In addition to all this construction
work the State Highway department
is now operating about forty main
camps which are supported
from the proceeds of the gaso-
line tax and automobile licenses,
which have been set aside for this
purpose, so that when our roads are
nnce actually constructed, they will ,
be- given no chance TO deteriorate. !
Construction and maintenance of !
highways combined is nov !
averaging considerably more than a {
luarter of million dollars per month,
wo months during the last quarter I
exceeded three hundred thousand. {
This is cash, and is disbursed in q
nearly every county in the state. II q
one of the largest factors in keep Y
ng business alive and the state of
New Mexico fairly prosperous. t

THE COT

Some people are distressed because
Of the widespread agitation over the
delays in the administration of JUS
tice by the courts. They say it will
tend to destroy confidence in the
courts.
Don't you believe it. The agita-
tion that is going on is a healthy
sign.
The courts in this country belong
10 the people. and it is the privilege
as well as the duty Of the people to
keen watch on them.
The courts are not going TO be
abolished. but unless all signs fail
some changes are going TO be made
which will make their procedure
more rapid and certain.
The people are going to see to it
that the courts function for the
administration of justice and
not for the delsv or defeat of it. as
has been the case in so many in
stances in TIE past.

Black River, south of Carlsbad.
While the consideration is not
made public, it is learned through
Fred Sproul, who closed the trans
action for his people at Ell Dorado,
Kansas, that the value of the pro-
perty involved is in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000.
These people have already spent
about 100000 here and have asked
no favor except the support and good
will of our people which they will
have in this new venture.

Adjutant Carl has just definitely
decided to establish a Salvation Army
camp here if the business men and
citizens of Clovis think the town is
large enough to support one. In the
drive the past week to reach a 5000
goal the solicitors were able to get
about $4,000 pledged which is con-
sidered a good start. An advisory
board composed of a number of the
leading business men will have
charge of the financial part of the
work. The Associated Charities Or

responsibilities as the Army will take

a big fire recently destroyed the
little station OF Malaga, about twenty
five miles south of the city.
The fire was discovered about 2
o'clock in the morning. 1t is sup
posed to have originated from sparks
from a locomotive which passed thru
Malaga earlier in the night, with a
special stock train. The blaze was
a very fierce one, the burning cotton
sending flames high in the air.
The property burned, included Sc
bales of cotton belonging to L.. C.
Leftwich and consigned to New Or
leans, to depot platform and an oil
rig said to belong to Charley Tucker.
Twenty-Five bales of the cotton were
in a car ready to ship, while the re-
naming 81 bales were on the plat
form. The car also was burned, and
the loss will probably reach $4,000.
The cotton was insured locally, and
it is understood Thai the New Or
leans house also carried insurance
on it.

Four years ago William Kissinger
had a forty-acre field of corn. That
was a favorable year for corn and
Mr.. Kissinger's crop was a good one,
Although Corn was bringing a high
err price then than now this crop
brought only about $4,000.
This season that same forty-acre
tract was planted in cotton and Mr..
Kissinger is counting on at least one
half bale to the acre. He has already
sold ten bales for $1,140.00, and
thinks he will have a little over ten
bales more.
Mr.. Kissinger is a thorough and
enthusiastic convert to cotton grow
ing and expects to plant a still larg-
er acreage the coming season. His
experience above described is a con-
crete case and one which carries with
it, its own suggestion.
Cotton is the crop for this val
ley, and the coming season it will
be particularly so.-Artesia Advo-

CHAVES

The people of East Grand Plains
have filed requests with the County
Dads for the graveling of two i'm
portant roads in that rich farming
road running by East Grand Plains
and orchard community. One is the
school house to the State Highway,
a distance Of three miles or more,
and the petitioners mention a price
for which they will place the gravel
on the road. The other road con-
templates an o~verhauling of the old
gravel road built through his ranch
by the late James J. Hagerman and
the extension thereof to the State
Highway at the packing sheds just
this side of South Spring. These
petitioners also name a price for
hauling and scattering the gravel and
Governor Hagerman will furnish the
last mentioned group gravel from
his home pits, besides donate some
labor on the proposition. In each
instance the petitioners have the
data as to tonnage of hay and fruit
shipped from packing and hay sheds
at South Springs as a feature in be
half of the improvements. These
are not in any way rival requests, the
