When is a debt not a debt ?This question has bothered jus-

tices of the peace, county judges,distrit judges and even supremocourt judges for years since the limethat Ramccses issued a royal decreerepudiating all debt of the crownand was dethroned because the oldEgyptians were such a mercenary lotlhat they could not get along with-out their money.

It's a troublesome question. Somedebts are good debts, some are bad,and some are just sort of indiffe-rent ' But when a debt is not a debtis' not a debt is all clear to at leastone Clayton man.

' Elmer E. Hamm can answer thatquestion. '

A debt is not a debt when it is owedby the Republican County CentralCommittee.

At least it has not been a debt un-til here lately. And to make it areal, upstandingdebt, collectable from members ofthe Committee. Elmer E. Hammhas filed suit in tho District Courtto obtain judgement against RobertQ. Palmer, as Chairman, Manuel Mar-tinez, as Secretary and H. J. Ham-mond, as Treaurer of the RepublicanCounty Central; Committee, ami tocollect from tlioc' leading Republi-can lights of the county the sum oftwo hundred and three and ninety-ilv- e

ono hundredths dollar.That is the balance Hamm alleges

is owed him for whiskey and cigarspurchased thru him -- for the use' ofthe Republican vote getters at thelast county and stale election.

Hamm alleges that that whiskeywas plumb good whiskey, and thatthose cigars were at least as good asany handed out by politicians alongabout election day. That the band-ing out of these goods did not winthe election for tho Republican Par-ty, Hamm, alleges, is no fault of his,and he feels that he should be reim-bursed for the liquor and cigars eventho the election was lost by a ma-jority much smaller than will againdefeat the party at the coming elec-tion.

Confident that they would win theelection, Hamm alleges the defe-nders "among others, were engagedunder the name and style of the Re-publican Central Committee of Un-ion County, New Mexico, in about thebusiness of carrying on anr conduct-ing a political campaign in UnionCounty, New Mexico; that in and

the conduct of said businessin furtherence of said campaign, andas a means of promoting such cam-paign, the said defendents did pur-chase of this plaintiff a large amountof beer, wine, whiskey, drinks cigarsand other like merchandise, and thatthe . account for said merchandisewas due November 6th., 1917.

Of course, when the morning ofNovember Cth, 1916, dawned uponihe people of Union County, therewa no daylight coming for the mem-bers of the Republican Central Com-mittee nor their henchmen who had

"so carefully placed those quantitiest wine, beer, drinks etc., where they

lhot they would do the most good.It was a morning in which the headdonor of those gifts was muddled asthe head of the recipient of thebounty, but for a different reason.

The morning dawned bright andfair, if the Newman remembers oorrrecly, but the, impression that therehad. been a snow storm and therewas nothing but gloom In "all thewide, wide-wor- ld must have been.strong in the camps of the Republi-can cohorts.

That the UUle matter-o- f $203.05,booze bill was forgotton in the greater misery of euch pronounced dereatis not at all surprising. One couldforget most anything under suchcircumstances. But that the debtshould so per8istantly bo forgotten,in spite of all efforts on the part oflontinuftl on page 4 of this section

Army and Navy Teams

Will Battle for War

Savings Pledges

At a meeting of the War SavingsStamp Drive Committeemen, held atW. S. S. Headquarters Monday even-ing, plans were partially perfectedfor the Army and Navy campaign,the firing of the first gun of whichwill mark the formal opening ofthe Drive in District No. 1, Clayton,to oversubscribe the quota of WarSavings Stamp pledges allotted thedistrict.

General H. H. Errett and SkipperBob Isaacs, commander of the landand water forces, after a lively tiltfor strategic positions, announcedtheir Lieutenants and ranking of-ficers as follows. y

ARMY: II. II. Errett, General; BillFranklin, W. L. Blakcly, E. G. Priest-ly, T. II. Rixey, II. B. Woodward, M.C. Johnson, C. A. Rullcdge, ChasterKiser, M. G. Tixier, James Wilson,Captains; Rev. H. R. Mills, Chaplin.

WOMAN'S RELIEF CORPS; Mrs.Wherritt, Mrs. Palmer, Mrs. Eklund,Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. I. E. Chamberlainand Mrs. G. G. Thompson.

NAVY; Crew of the Good ShipClayton; R. W. Isaacs. Skipper; Ed-gar Sherman, George Wade, ClarenceT. Baker, Simon Herzstein, CharlieMitchell, W. C.'Barnhart, A. C. M-irea, A. H. Daflcn, Livingston Tay-lor, First Luffs; Rev, Wills, Sky Pi-lot.

YEOWOMEN; Mrs. L. M. Fruth,Joan R. Grimm, Mrs. F. G. Akins,Mrs. M. T. Ryan, Mis. Max Gomales,Mrs. Mildred Drake and Mis. Gould.

"Theso officers of the two forceswill solicit pledges the first six üaysof the campaign, of which three arenow passed, and on the last day willimpress or draft into the service ofthe respective forces every availableworker in the village to bring lo thoHag iole those who have not yetpledged themselves or who wish tobuy War Savings Stamps. .

As pledges are received the of-ficers of the drive will bestow uponthe one making the pledge a badge,the Army Badne red and the NavyBadge blue, and each person

becomes a member ofthe forces which will contend forsupremacy Friday, June 28th. Ifyou wish to join tho Army makeyour pledge to an Army officer, butif your inclination is toward therolling deep rather than the hotmarches across dusty prairies makeyour pledges to a Navy officer.

The work or fight law recentlypromulgated will be in full workingorder.

You can have a little choice; it'seither the Army or tho Navy, butyou must join some branch of theservice before the drive closes.

Both the Army and Navy are plan-ning some coupes ' and strategicmoves to bring victory to their ban-ner, as may be readilly seen bywathing carefully either of the twocommanders in their quiet conver-sations with parties of influencewhenever they nieet. It is generally predicted that the most brilliantengagement of the foces will be slaged the night of the twenty-seven- thwhen the Navy will uee aerialbombs and hydroplanes against theheavy artillery and airplanes of the'Army.

Special appeal will be made to theRed Cross workers to have on handa ufficient number of competentenures and plenty of supplieSvto takeproper care of the injured, and theY. M. C. A. will be induced to estab-lish a canteen or hut at some con-venient place to furnish nourishment and recreation to the battlescarred warriors who will be com-pelled to drop out and wait for theirsecond breath. ,

Both forces are going Over theTop and the decisive battle of thecampaign will bo one weyy worthwitnessing from a baloon or a bomb-proof shelter.

That the press of Union County ishesitant about publishing the mat-ter submitted it by the County Coun-cil of Defense; that lhat organ-ization "could get nothing in thepapers", and that the newspaperswere not doing their utmost to aidin the war work of the county wasintimated by JoepU C. Gill at a meet-ing of Clayton attorneys held Fridaynight, tho News is reliably inform-ed. The charges, it is reported,were infered rather than made di-rectly. The report bears out a fewother remarks that have been re- -(peated to us, and while these re-marks were more generally direct-ed at our contemporaries than attho News, the reported remarks ofFriday evening were more specificin their direction.

Tho News respectfully calls tho at-tention of Joseph C. Gill to thisisssue, in which appears more war-savin- gs

stamp publicity than has ap-peared in any other newpaper ofthe state. The remarks of Mr. Gill,made at a meeting of tho attorneysof the city Friday night, in which hostated that he could get nothing inthe newspapers were to say the least

if not deliberately false.The attention of Mr. Gill is called tothe fact that not one issue of thoNews has appeared in v. i . '.i co! imnafter column of appeals for the RedCross, Liberty Bonds and War Sav-ings Stamps have not been printed.This publicity repesvnts space, typoand labor that could have been soldat a profit; somo of it space and laborthat all the money in the world couldnot have purchased, because it wasspace that is not-sol- by newspapers,and labor that is not given for hire.Even all the wealth that Mr. Gillmay be possess of could not pur-chase one line in the editorial col-umns of the News, which have con-tained patriotic appeals to the peo-ple of Union County that were notwritten for Ihe wage the Newsmanreceives, but were written becausethe Newsman's heart and the heartof his employer, were pleading withtho hearts of his readers to supporta worthy cause to the extent of theirability.

The press of Union Comity is loyalMr. Joseph C. Gill. The heart of .thepress of Union County is with theGovernment in this great struggle forfor Democracy. And because yourname is not mentioned as the leader of all war movements in UniónCounty, because your little bit isnot regarded by the press with thesame magniflcience that you your-self think it deserves, is not a suresign the press is .not backing theernment to its fullest extent.

The News, nor the Citizen, nor theSwastika, nor the La Union delPueblo, Mr. Gill were not responsiblefor the spreading of the word thatUnion County was the slacker countyof the United States. The News,Mr. Gill, nor the Citizen, nor theSwastika, nor the La Union del Pueblo, did not go Jo Santa Fe with thedeliberate mistalement that therewere more Pro-Germ- In UnionCounty than in all the rest of thestate.

The Press of Union County is justplain honest patriotic, Mr. Gill, giv-ing all it can and getting along with-out a howl while it sees its materialsupplies threatened daily and whileits profits are being cut to the quickby this same war that you have thetemerity to say it is not supporting.Government to its fullest ability.

The Austrlans are constantly throw-ing In reinforcements and are fightinghard to pierce the Italian river lines.The Italians counter immediatelyafter every enemy attack. On thetwenty-fiv- e mile front between Val-das-

and Mount Tomba a third ofthe Austrian stormers lie dead beforetheir original trenches. The Italiansrepulsed nine assaults with freBhtroops on the heights of MountGrappa.

Three enemy divisions (30,000 men),crossing the Plave on hastily con-structed bridges and the Islets in frontof Nervesa, have been hemmed In atthe foot of II Montello.

Helping the Heat and Milk Supply

On Such a Lawn as This, Sheep Not Only Are Profitable and Beneficial as WeedEradicatora, but They Are Highly Ornamental aa Well.

SCHEME TO FEED

WASTE TO SHEEP

Opportunity Offered on College

Grounds, in Parks and onLarge Private Lawns.

MAKE MONEY OUT OF FLOCKS

Saving Also Made In Mowing and WeedEradication Investigate Before

Launching Into Enterprise.

There are thousands of places In theUnited States where grass is now go-ing to waste that would support smallflocks of sheep. Among such placesare public parks, golf courses, privateestates with large lawns, and collegegrounds. Over most of these areasa lawn mower Is run regularly to keepdown the grass. If a flock of sheepwere substituted for the lawn mowernot only would the grass be utilizedfor food production but the labor nownecessary to keep the grass cut wouldbe released for other and more essen-tial war work.

Of course, considerable care needsto be exercised In the matter of stocking such open areas with sheep. Thecreation of a big demand for animalsfor this purpose so as to Interfere se-riously with normal market conditionswould not be desirable. The UnitedStates department of agriculture ad-vises persons charged with the careof such properties to consider puttingIn some sheep, but to Investigate condl- -tlons thoroughly before they embarkIn the enterprise. The animal hus-bandry division of the department willbo glad to answer requests for Infor-mation, and has a number of publica-tions on the subject available for freedistribution.

Pleasure and ProfitIt Is believed that In many Instances,

particularly on the large golf coursesand at educational Institutions havingextensive grounds, sheep raising couldbe practiced In such manner as to bringa large measure both of pleasure andprofit. This should be particularlytrue on school grounds where ordinar-ily some member of the faculty Is a goodenough animal husbandman "to givethem the proper care. In any event, ItIs a matter worthy of careful consid-eration. The gross annual returnsfrom ewes of breeding age may be ex-pected to range as high as $20 a head.The fleece from one sheep averagesfrom five to eight pounds and Is nowcelling for from 50 to 65 cents a pound.One lamb to each ewe Is a conserv-itlv- e

estimate. The lamb at fivemonths will weigh approximately 60pounds and be worth probably 20 centsa pound. A Cock of 20 ewes such aa:ould be maintained on a good-size- d col-lege campus might be expected, there-fore, to yleU an annunl profit of ap-proximately $.'150, which would go ajood way toward endowing a lecture-ihl-p.

Weed Eradication.Aside from the question of direct

profit, sheep would be useful on iuchAwns In eradicating weeds. For sevirtil years the Kansas state agricul-tural college spent over $480 a yearn the college campus In an efftrt to

iradtcate dandelions. About hree

yenrs ago the animal husbandry de-partment was short of pasture for Itssheep and suggested to the college au-thorities that if the money formerlyspent for dumlcllon eradication wereturned over to them they would under-take to get rid of the dandelions bygrazing the sheep on the campus. To-day there are practically no dandelionson the Kansas agricultural collegegrounds. The same thing would betrue on any other lurge lawn. In prac-tically all cases, on order to keep themout of flower beds and shrubbery,sheep must be herded. This can bodone, however, by unskilled labor, evenby small children, and the expenseneed not he large.

Illustrious Example.People who Install sheep on lawns

will be following an Illustrious exam-ple. For many weeks now a smallflock of sheep has been grazing on theWhite House grounds, converting thegrass which was formerly wasted Intogood meat and wool, and Incidentallykeeping down weeds that were a sourceof endless trouble. It has been foundthat the sheep are not only useful butornamental. Muny thousands of peo-ple have been attracted by the prettypicture of the fleecy animals In Presi-dent Wilson's yard.

SHEEP AS BENEFACTORS

A hundred times you have no-ticed and been annoyed by theman, horse and little moving ma-chine going about clipping thegrass on the golf course.

Sometimes you have noticedanother fellow, or a group of fel-lows, going over the course,bending, prodding In the grasswith little trowel-lik- e tools. -

Annoying? Yes; but, In theordinary course of things, nec-essary. The grass has to be keptshort and smooth for your com-fort and convenience. And theugly weeds have to be rootedout. Still all of that work hasto be paid for out of the duesof the members.

And, after all, the whole busi-ness annoyance and expensemight be avoided. A flock ofsheep would keep the grass clip-ped as closely and as neatly asthe mower does and the sheepwould eradicate the weeds muchmore certainly than the proddingfellows possibly can.

Besides, they would convertthegrass-on- n --weeds Into meatand wool to help the nationthrough an emergency In whichIt badly needs both meat andwool.

Make Waste Into MeatThe keeping of a reasonable number

of sheep on the average farm does notnecessitate the keeping of fewer dairycows or other grazing stock. This factwas determined by the United States-departmen- t

of agriculture In its recentInvestigation of sheep raising posslbllltles In New England. It was foundthat farms where sheep are kept suc-cessfully have practically the samenumber and kinds of other Uve stockas other farms of like urea where nosheep are kept, and that the acreageIn crops on the two classes of furmsis substantially the same. The Infer-ence is that the fanner who keeps nosheep Is simply throwing away enoughpasturage that cows and other livestock do not utilize to net him a neatprofit

REPUBLICAN CENTRAL- - Com.

SUED FUR ELECTION DEBT

Continued from First Pane

Hamm to cause the Republican Cen-tral Committee to recall that theyor their agents "did purchase a largeamount of beer, wine, drinks, etc.".has at last resulted in Hamm filingin tho District Court, thru his at-torney, A. H. Darden, the gcntal re- - 'minder here-to-fo- re alluded to.

The suit is not wholly against theRepubi ican County Central Commit-tee. That committee ceased to ex-ist on the morning of November 6,1910, and has been non-- cxLstant eversince, and may continue so intoeternity for all the voters of UnionCounty care, so Hamm has named in-dividuals in the suit whom he be-lieves to bo fully responsible for thoacts of the Committee and respon-sible for the amount of the debt.After naming the Republican County Cential Committee as defendant,the suit filed thoughtfully adds "andRobert O. Palmer. Manuel Martinez and II. J. Hammond as

This bill for boose does not rep-ree- ntthe entire amount of vole

getting barley corn used by the Re-publican campaign managers but onthe other hand a mere balance.

Judging from the itomizod listtiled with suit and pulilihed below,the Republicans had great hope inthis booze getting voles, for tbevpurchaed a good brand of whiskeyand cigars.

Strange too that some of the iroodshould fall into the hands of Democrats on election day.

It is loo bad that the Reuublicansin their effort to intoxicate all thevoters on election day, did not in-vest more of their credit at Hamm'sstock of Republican campaign dope.

e extend to tins beraved bunchof has-bee- ns in political circles ourheart felt sympathy, for before an-other ( lection Hamm's election boos?

.Avill all be gone. We know not whatmethod they will use to intoxicatethe voter this fall, but do trust thatthey will not excede heir bank ac-count and again be" sued for makinga loosing fight.

McNowan to the amount of TwoHundred Dollars ( $200.00) ; we also Andthat damages' should be bald to Herbert Nicholson, to the amount of FiftyDollars ($50) provided, however thatin case the road should be closed on thewest side of said sections within twelvemonths from the dute hereof that thesaid Herbert Nicholson asks no damagesfor this road but for the fact that thisproposed road, on account of naturalbarriers caused three roads either thruor by his land we feel that he Is entitled to damages, and that for the factthat McNown has 200 acres cut off fromhis water that he is entitled to thedamages above mentioned. We alsofind that the proposed road would trav-el over smooth, slightly rolling prairiewhiuh wiiq practically no labor at allwill make a Nne road .while the oresent road mostly traveled one-ha- lf milewest of this is low swampy ground.

Governor's ProclamationTo the People of the State of New Mexico :

The people of this state will have the opportunity onJune 28th, 1918, of showing their loyalty and consecration to

"the great enterprise this nation is engaged upon by pledgingthemselves to save and economize and invest in war savingsstamps.

The material needs necessary to successfully prosecutethe war can be met only if the people of this nation denythemselves some of their customary expenditures. It is notjiough to furnish thousands of young men this state is

doing. Those men must be clothed, fed and equipped. Sure-ly when they are willing to give their lives we should nothesitate to lend our savings.

The people of this state are expected to save and investin War Savings Stamps to the maturity value of $7,000,000.Similar allotments have been made to other states and thePresident of the United States has called on the people of the

- various states on June 28th to indicate their willingness topractice the patriotic self-deni- al required of all of us, bypledging themselves to purchase War Savings Stamps duringthe remainder of this year. This state has always respondedfully to calls made upon and I feel sure the present will beno exception.

In order that this state and its pecple may notother states in responding" to this call, I hereby proclaim

Friday, June 28th,. WAR SAVINGS DAY

AMERICAN GIRLS SHOULDDO THEIR PART

In all trades and businessesin the United States girl and womenworkers are .being trained to takethe places of the men who arc going

the battle front and to the otherpoints where war duty calls.

The day of the true feminist hascome the day when the heart andbrain of the woman worker, musttake the place of, and support, thewearers of the bifurcated garments.

In every sense must the girl andwomen workers or tne nation expect to give as liberally as wouldhave given those whose places theyare filling.

In the coming War Savings Stampdrive the woman worker can pledgeherself to save and invest in manyinstances better than could the man.There are feminine vanities that canwell be dispensed with by the womanwho filling the ranks of labor, tothe benefit of the nation and muchto their own benefit and benefitof their employers.

The government will expect no lessof them they are women

We will eventually come to thoseeffeciencies that are making the Germans so supprisingly enduring undertrying conditions. The government

MOB VIOLENCE CONTRARYPRINCIPALS OF GOVERNMENT

Wo agree that any American whois aiding the enemy in any way, beit small should bo con-victed of treason and shot. But wemaintain that such persons shouldbo handled by officers of the lawrather than a mob. Mobs are toooften stirred to action by personalprejudice, by an ovcrsupply of boozeor misapprehension of the facts, andare more than apt to do. more injuryto the cause for which we are fight-ing than to the Herman spy system.

The two men who were arrestedcharged with inciting the riot ofthat night, now maintain that theywere not the leaders of the mobbut were trying to protect the man

It is to be hoped that their state-ment is correct, as the News wouldrather believe anyone innocent ofinciting a riot than responsible, forsuch action Both of the men whowere arrested belong to good famil-ies, and all their friends regret theincident very much.
