YOUNG PEOPLE
SERVE OYSTERS

The Young Married Peoples class
of the Christian church gave a pub
lie oyster supper at the Christian
church on Thursday evening, and
Sayl il was a "dandyw AT six
o'clock the boys of the class donned
aprons and took possession of the
kitchen and began the work in pro-
fessiOnal style. Tom Bushnell, chef,
began serving them up in any style,
stewed, fried or raw, and the way
the crowd began taking to his Of
ferings was a fright. OF course, to
give real enchantment to the Occa-
sion, the serving in the dining hall
was done by the beautiful ladies, of
which this class can proudly boast.
The men, such as Preacher Luns-
ford, Lorian Boggs, Horace Kirby,
DR.. Means, Hyden EdmOndson, Ray
Selvy. looked better in the kitchen,
and they did the "flunky" work,
some of them occasionally slipping
into the dining room, while our ven
cradle city councilman, Franklin P.
Kilburn, sat up in front and took in
the dinero, allowing no guilty nickel
to escape.
In all, it was one of the most sue
cessful affairs that has been pulled
off for some time. Following the
supper a splendid literary and mu-
steal program was rendRred that
pleased everybody. After the local
lodge of Odd Fellows were dismissed
from their regular meeting at I. o.
o. f. Hall, thirteen of them came
down TO the church and were served.
The proceeds, amounting to over
S65, which will net the class some
thing like S25, will go into the class
treasury 10 be used at some future
time TO equip their class room. To
Tom Bushnell and Hyden Edmond
son goes the brass crown" for ex-
ceptional service rendered on the
firing line. These two boys worked
all day. and when the time came for
the order to charge they went "over
the top" and captivated the enemy.
The young people are TO be cOngrat-
ulated on their success, and we hope
they will come thru with another
good feed.

DISTRIBUTION OF
SCHOOL MONEY

What is probably the largest ap-
.portionment ever made from state
funds TO the schools Of this state is
heing made today.
The amount being sent out TO the
school boards is $3.50 for every child
of school age, and the, boards have
been cautioned by State eSFducational
Auditor John Joerns to use this
money for current expenses only.
A part of Mr.. Joerns' letter fol-
lows:
"A distribution will be made of
the common school fund amounting
to $3.50 per child on the last census
enumeration.
This money when received by
you must nOt be used in payment
Of any indebtedness incurred prior
to September ist 1921 All such
outstanding warrants or indebted
ness can only be paid from the pro-
ceeds of delinquent tax collections
The Bateman Act provides that
all money received in any one year
must be used for current expenses
of that year. In preparing your
budget the money that you will re-
ceive has been considered as an off
set TO the total needs of the current
year and if the money is diverted
there will be a shortage Of funds
in this year,
Section 4, Chapter 1870, provides
that "All levies or expenditures for
school purposes contrary TO the pro-
vision Of the act. shall be null and
void and that the officer or person
responsible therefore with the sure
ties on his bond shall be liable.
"The State Educational Auditor is
chargoable with the initiation of le-
gal proceedings for violation of the
law.
DO not use any money received
from the state or the taxes collected
on The 1924 tax roll for the payment
of outstanding warrants or old in
debtedness prior to September ist,

CHURCHES ORGANIZE BASKET
BALL CLUBS

In order to stimulate interest in
the Sunday school work, athletic
features are being inaugurated that
are creating lots of interest. The
various Sunday Schools are organ
izing basketball teams, and are al
ready practicing. In a short time
schedule will be completed and then
playing will begin in earnest. Each
school has some good material, and
there will be several strong teams
in the competition. The playing
Of basket ball is not confined TO the
men alone. Each Sunday school will
be represented by a ladies team.
This is a splendid thing, as it pro-
vides good health-giving exercise
to those who work in offices and
who have no recreation, and will
tend to increase the interest in the
Sunday school work.

CATTLE LOAN OR

to stockmen by the War Finance
board. This will be 81 interest to
the stOckmen Of the state:
Santa Fe, N. M.
Oct 10, 1921.
Gentlemen:
Enclosed is copy of telegram
received by Senator Bursum from
the Director of the War Finance
Corporation which is handling the
S2,500000,O00 fund recently created
by Congress for agricultural relief
| call your particular attention 10
statement in this message as to
tic necessity for forming additional
livestock loan companies for the
handling of the New Mexico portion
of this fund IL is presumed that
about %0000,000 Of this money will
be available for loans in this state.
To obtain such aD amount such
companies must be in existence with
capital stock amounting TO at least
9l,000,000. There are no such COM
panies at present and probably no
chance Of their creation unless the
banks themselves cooperate.
IT. has been suggested that the
banks in this state themselves form
Gne or moro companies Of this char
acter by directly subscribing for tho
, capital stock so far az allowed by
law, or by financing subscTintions
! by others where direct participa.
ton is prohibited. Inasmuch as the
banks are directly interested and
funds obtained go to the relief Of
their present burdens, such a plan
seems practical. Whether one cor
poratiOn should be formed covering
the entire state, or whether it is ad-
Yisable 10 create several represent
ing groups Of banks in various sec
tions is matter for future cOnsid-
Grafton .- -
have taken. the liberty of re.
,questing the president or the Bank
ers Association TO call q meeting
of the bankers of the state TO con-
slider this subject in general and
the advisability of adopting this
plan or some other which will ac-
: cOmplish the desired purpose.
IL this money is to be obtained
for loans here, immediate action is
necessary.

Dear Sir;
We are in receipt of your letter

CLAYTON Chamber of Commerce has
decided 10 accept the proposed read
iustment in coal rates from the
Trinidad and Waisenburg districts
TO CLAYTON suggested by Traffic Man.
aRer johnson Of the Colorado &
Southern Railway. We believe this
to have been the wise course to pur-
sue under the circumstances, as we
look for a percentage reduction IN
rates within the near future, and
assume that coal will be one of the
commodities included in the gen.
eral decrease, as there has been con-
siderable complaint regarding such
rates
We are taking up with Freight
Traffic Manager HOughtOn of the
Santa Fe system the question of a
reduction in the coal rates from the
Ration district, and have no doubt
but what that railroad will make a
reimbursement of its rates as mat
ter of self protection. Copy of our
letter TO Mr.. HoughtOn is enclosed
for your information. We will COM
municate with you again on the sub
iect as soon as we hear from Mr..
HoughtOn.
Very respectfully.

IL was absolutely necessary 10 re-

able board safely and intelligently
