LAS CRUCES IS
ANXIOUS To AID
COMING RODEO

In letter from August Wolf,
service director of the Las Cruces
chamber Of commerce, to Messrs.
Garrett and Woolsey, managers of
the rodeo, Mr.. Wolf says:
The roundup, which we under
stand is a benefit for the National
Disabled Soldiers league, Is for q
worthy cause-one in which the
officers and members of the Las
Cruces chamber of commerce and
residents of this town and county
are keenly interested.
doubtless the convention of the
National Disabled Soldiers league
which you are bringing to Albu-
querque with a view to telling the
delegates something of New Mex
ico's health-giving climate, will re-
suit in the disqualification in New
Mexico Of many sufferers with dis
eases of the throat and lungs.
You may depend upon 1t that
this organization will be glad to CO.
operate with the New Mexico divis-
ion Of the National Disabled SOL
diers' league in any movement that
will benefit disabled veterans of
the late war.
How can the Las Cruces cham
Der of commerce be of the most
service to the state division of the
league?"
1t is this spirit of helpful Coop
GRAFTON from Las Cruces and SINH
lar expressions of interest from
other points that is encouraging
the managers of the roundup and
friends of the disabled veterans to
make this rodeo the biggest thing
Of its kind ever put on in New

preparation for Coming
Year Is Discussed at Joint
Meeting of Directors.

Plans for continuing the work of
the bureau of charities were dis
cussed at a meeting last night of
the directors of the bureau and the
chamber of commerce. The bu-

few private subscriptions.
Since August, 1917, a special
portion of the chamber Of COM

each year for the bureau. During
that time approximately $4,000 of
chamber funds have gone toward
assisting with this type of work.
The bureau has been carried
closely affiliated with the chamber
since 1917. Exactly what arrange
ments will be made for the coming
year were not decided at the meet
ing last night, but will be deter
mined at the next joint meeting to
be held in the near future.
