LAS VEGAS NORMAL
ATTRACTS STUDENTS
FROM OTHER STATES

Las Vegas, N. M, Feb. 2S.-With
the opening of the spring term,
February 81, the high school de-
Iartment of the New Mexico normal
university became also the San
Miguel county high school. An act
passed by the state legislature last
year provides that counties wherein
state normal schools are located
may make a levy for the support Of
the high school department, which
school and which may be attended
by young people living in the
county without payment of tuition.
This levy became available tebru-
larry 27. President J. H. Wagner
had given the young people of the
.county notice, and on enrolment
day a goodly number came in to
register. County superintendent
Benito f. +. Baca and all the
county teachers will use their in
.fluence to have eighth grade grad
yates take a course in the county
high school.
Enrolment day for the spring
term saw many new enrollments.
The most unusual development was
the fact that nearly all the students
remained in school In former
years there has been tendency to
drop out during the spring, proba-
bly, because of the belief that the
young people were needed at home.
The New Mexico normal univer-
sity is drawing students from a
distance. Among those newly en-
po1led ora Mise Martin Of Memphis
Tenn: Mrs. Curry, of Virginia;
Misses Loeffle. Jontz and Wakely,
of Poplar Grove, Mo; Mr., and
Mrs. Bowman, of Oklahoma, the
former a graduate Of the Univer-
sity of oklahoma and the latter
recently returned from overseas
ervice. are taking work. Miss Ber-
tie Chittum, of Ration, who has a
scholarship and is a graduate of
Ration high. has arrived TO take
four wears CT work. Mrs. Gertrude
Nolan, Of Las Vegas, has enrolled

HE is not mentally dead he
said. His brain may be numbed
by hardships he has forced him
self to go through, but Church, if
he does not understand everything
that goes on around him, fails on

Duke City boxing fans have been
crying for new faces in the ring.
For the past three months the pro-
moters have been needing the cry
and have introduced such lads as
Kid Lee, champion colored light
weight; Johnny Kid Mex, Joe Kale,
Frank Herrera, Young Sol and one
or two more main eventers. Appa-
rently the fans have appreciated
the efforts, as the bouts have sup
ported themselves in spite OF the
fact that ii costs real money 10

querque.
In tomorrow nights card the
Veterans of Foreign Wars have eX-
tended themselves to please the
fans and three new lads will ap-
pear in the double main event.
The bout between young Sol and
Leonard Lee, the little Knockout
king of Denver, was arranged on
the spur Of the moment Monday
night when Lee stopped over in
Albuuueruue en- route to Juarez,
where he will box the next main
event. The mill between Lee and
Sol is scheduled to so 10 rounds
and will precede the 15-round bout
between Sailor Danny Burns and
Cowboy Padgett
Lee, who has scarcely sighted
his "twentios," has just reached
the bantamweight, having stepped
into the ring for the past counle
of years at around 10 and 112
pounds. He can now tip the scams
at ia and will be the first actual
bantam to meet Young Sol who
has showed his wares here several
times during the past three months
against boys who outweiGhe1 linn
by several pounds.
Both lads are speed persouified
when against their own weight,
and the bout promises to be the
snappiest seen here since the re-
yival of the sport a few months
ago. Lee has been showing his
wares during the past year
throughout the middle west and
boxed a number of main events in
southern California.
Although Young Sol has not
made his appearance at Moose hall
to train with the other lads. he
has not been inactive and an
nounced yesterday that he was in

|. c. Ever Mindful of Its
Patrons.

A railroad and the community it
serves can work to their own best
interests by being always mindful
of the best interests of the other,
according to President G. H. Mark
ham OF the Illinois Central System,
who recently made a statement de-
scribing what the railroad OF which
be is the chief executive is doing 10
win the friendship of the patrons.
The Illinois Centred System and
its patrons are sharers of common
problems" he said. 1t is to our
best interests to be ever mindful oil
the best interests Of the territory we
serve, and, on the other hand, we
b lieve our patrons can best serve
their own interests by doing that
which will strengthen us. Repre-
sentatives of all departments of the
Illinois Central System are filled
with pride in their work and de-
sire to be of helpful service to our
patrons. They are striving to make
every patron of this railroad feel a
friendship for and a personal inter-
est in the Illinois Central System. "
Mr.. Markham referred to these
four things which the Illinois Cen
trail Syctem is doing to promote the
good will of the patrons: ID at
tempting to render dependable,
efficient transportation service; ~
having officers and employees who
are at all times courteous and oblig
ing; CD giving patrons accurate in
formation in regard to the railway
system, and IA cooperating with
patrons and seeking their co-opera-
ton.
IT is our hope that the Illinois
Central System will always stand
in lhe front rank of the railroads of
this country in having the good will
Gifts patrons" the statement reads.
We feel grateful to those we strive
t. serve for the full measure of sup
port and confidence which they have
accorded us in the past, and we
shall leave nothing undone in en-
dsavoring to merit their continued
support and confidence in the fu-
ture. We feel that having the good
will of our patrons places an added
responsibility upon US to do our ut
most to serve them we'll, aud we
accept that responsibility, pleased
thlt we have the opportunity to
contribute to the upbuilding of
great and fruitful territory, the in
