"Service Measures Success. ''

It isn't the cut of the clothes that you wear. Nor the stuff out of which they are made: Though chosen with taste and fastidious care. And it sn the price that you paid It isn't the size of your pile in the bank, Nor the number of acres you own It isn't question of prestige or rank Nor of sinew, and muscle and bone; It isn't the servants that come at your call, It isn't the things you possess, Whether many. or little-or nothing at all, It's service that measures success. It isn't question of name. or of length Of an ancestral pedigree. Nor question of mental vigor and strength. Nor question of social degree; It isn't question of city or town. It isn't question of fame or reaoHn, Nor question ot valorous deed: But he who makes somebody happy each day, And he who gives heed to dist.ess. Will find satisfaction the richest of pay For it's service that measures success

LAND POOR

THE Durango Evening Herald, in course of a wonderful
campaign In behalf of a southern railroad outlet for the San Juan
basin, points out TO the people of the basin that they r land
poor; - that this applies not only to individual holders of large acre
age, but 70 the communities of the basin as well. They have thou
sands Of tributary acres Of very rich land. But this land is not work
ing. II is like an idle horse. 1t must be fed and, producing nothing,
it impoverishes its owners. The result, as a matter of course, is an
impoverished community.
The Durango Evening Herald points out to the land owners of
the basin that they could well afford TO give away half of their land,
now worth SOS to $50 an acre, in order to get a railroad outlet which
proftaby productive. The remaining land, it says, would immedi-
atdy be worth $50 to 800 an acre-and would begin TO earn for its
owners instead Of remaining merely an expense through taxes.
Precisely the same argument may be applied 10 the situation of
land owners in the Central Rio Grande valley. Waterogged land
will not produce, but il must pay taxes. 1t holds back the develop
ment and productivity Of partly drained land. Its owners are land
poor and will remain so until their enterprise, uniting with the en-
terprise of the community, puts all of the irrigable land in the district
10 work. To accomplish that every lapd owner in the district could
afford TO give away half his land, in order 10 make the remainder
profitable instead of a burden. The community is land poor. The
lndrained land hangs like Q milestone around the community neck.
1t will not be necessary, however for any land owner in this val.
ley 10 give away anything. The entire valley can be drained without
placing an undue burden upon any land owner, or upon the commun.
ity. The land in this valley, when properly drained will pay out any
reasonable or necessary bond issue upon il within a very few years
The immediate increase in land values throughout the valley would
absorb the burden of the bond issue required almost Immediately.
Land owners who hold any considerable acreage of waterlogged
land should be able to see the wisdom Of forcing early action on
drainage. Every tax receipt they get from the county treasurer
should show them how they are being stuck"

ROSWELL WAY"

THE above is the title of the monthly magazine published by the
Roswell chamber of commerce. 1t II a house organ for the
y chamber Of commerce and the community and il seems TO MS 10 be
one of the most valuable publications Of the kind we have ever seen.
The last, the November number, is just at hand. Ii is a publication
Of standard magazine size, printed on good paper, with a handsome
cover, and literally illustrated. Like other numbers We have seen
this year, the magazine reviews the work of the chamber OF com
merce and keeps the people of Roswell in touch with whatever com
munity activties are under way. Il is used, SIS a matter of course, for
outside distribution and in answering inquiries from persons inter
ested in Roswell and its tributary territory. For this il is much more
valuable than a mere statistical or boosting folder because it is
always fresh and up to date. II tells what Roswell is doing now, in.
stead Of what has been accomplished by preceding generations.
In this matter, as in many other ways, the Roswell chamber of
commerce has set AN example OF courage aud enterprises under dis
couraging conditions. No city in The southwest was harder hit by the
depression Of farm and livestock prices than was Roswell. No com
munity had a better right 20 sit down in sack cloth and ashes and
read the protests of job. The chamber of commerce, however, refus.
ed TO do any street corner mourning. II has kept right along with its
aggressive program of building and courage spreading, and as a re.
suit very largely Of this well directed community spirit Roswell has
come through the depression" period with flying colors. Men who
refuse TO support such a chamber Of commerce n simply refusing 10
think about the welfare of their own sales sheets or pay envelopes

WORTH GOING AFTER

THE board Of directors of the Frances Il. Willard school for girls
now located at Belen, win hold a meeting in Albuquerque during
: the coming week TO decide the future location Of the school. De
termination to move the school from Been was reached at a meeting
Of the hoard last week, after il had failed to receive a bonus Of IS 900
which Is understood to have been offered for locating the school at
Been. The moving Of the school is voluntary on the part of the
board Of directors, who desire a more central location for IL.
Santa Fe has offered a site and a bonus for this institution; so
hsz Clovis. The members of the board have indicated that they are
open TO offers from other cities. Albuquerque could probably secure
the school for a reasonable offer either of site or bonus or both. II
is an institution wen worth going after and one which we should
make An effort 20 secure.
There are several Of these schools in various states. They have
been established by local and state organizations Of the womans
Christian Temperance Union and are supported by contributions
from the national, state and local chapters of that organization, and
by individual donations Several Of these schools have been conspic-
uousiy successful They are open to girls of good character who wish
20 improve themselves and who lack the means to enter and pay their
way through private schools or to maintain themselves 1T universities.
TherS ~ now a waiting list of l3i girls who aresready TO enter the
New Mexico school.
When we stop long enough to compute the money put into cir
culation in Albuquerque annually by schools other than the public
schools we are likely TO be astonished at the total. We cannot have
TOO many such institutions We should go ont and get this one.
