Carri3030 News OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF LINCOLN (COUNTY, NEW MEXICO VOLUME 19 CARRIZOZO, LINCOLN COUNTY. NEW MEXICO, FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 1918. NUMBER 12 GERMANS ATTACK ON THE BRITISH FRONT Red Cross Dance a Decided Success 'The Saint Patrick's dance given by the White Oaks Red Cross was a decided success although the prevalence of la grippe and other illness caused the executive committee to eliminate every thing from the original plans for the entertainment, except the dance and refreshments. One little diversion was had in raffling a watch fob donated by Mrs. Oliver Peaker and which added three dollars to the $105.50 netted by the entertainment.

A number of new members have lately joined, among them: Paul Mayer, Ed Queen, and Lee H. Rudisille. United States Marshal A. H. Hudspeth, who is ever loyal to White Oaks and who is member of this branch of Red Cross has sent in eighteen dollars 85 his semiannual contribution of three dollars per month, hoping to induce others here to join him in the plan of contributing a definite sum monthly as is being done throughout the country.

Hon. John Y. Hewitt has been liberal in contributions to the branch here but belongs to the Carrizozo Chapter having joined there before we were organized. The efficiency of the work here has been increased by the addition of Mrs. Paul Mayer, Mrs.

Chas. Spence and Mrs. William Watson to the executive committee. All the refreshments were contributed and a few who did not feel able to give their time contributed money, Everybody did what they could to insure success and did it most heartily, and all have the thanks of' the executive committee and the entire organization. Food Regulation Albuquerque, N.

March 19, 1918. To All Complaint comes to me from various sections that grocers are accepting potatoes in the hands of producers as plete substitute for large purchases of flour. The Food Administration's effort is designed to save wheat. The purpose is evaded when a producer of potatoes, have ing a large stock on hand, is permitted to consume wheat flour without other substitute. Permission to use four pounds of potatoes as an equivalent to one pound of substitute in the purchase of wheat flour is therefore withdrawn from potato produeers, but it is continued when potatoesare purchased with wheat flour by your customers.

Very truly yours, RALPH ELY. Federal Food Administration.) Meat Animals Increase Reports based on figures from the Department of Agriculture show that January 1, 1918, the number of meat animals in the United States was greater by more than 6.000,000 head than it was January 1, 1917. The number of inspections for slaughter indicate a decrease in tion. The summary shows the total number of cattle in the United States January 1, 1918, was 830,000, an increase of 1,247,000 head over the same day the year before.

Fairbanks this week, Farm Land Loans An increase in the value of farm products from 1900 to 1917 of 1,200 per cent, an increase from 1910 to 1917 of more than 400 per cent, and a saving to the plain every day farmer of nearly 000 a year in the 011 farm loans alone -that is the answer to the question the Luatter with New and also to the question "What's the matter with the Farm Loan Figures in the possession of Congressman W. B. Walton show that the farm loan law, one of the most recent of the democratic platform pledges fulfilled by democratic administration, has worked a miracle in the tural development of the Sunshine state. There are now in the state an even one hundred farm loans associations, distributed among fifteen of the 28 counties, and the loans now being placed average approximately $100,000 a month. These loans, at the government rate of interest, mean that the farmer is getting his money for agricultural development at a saving over the regular banking rate of $79,900 a year Add to this the increased value of the land due to those improvements, and it will be seen that nothing short of an agricultural miracle has been worked in New Mexico by the Federal farm loan law.

The counties on the east side of the state have been the ones to be principally benefitted, the plications from that section having been first considered. The remaining portions will be handled as rapidly possible. Union county leads in the amount of loans, with $355,100. Curry is second with $204,300, Quay third with $185,100 and Chaves fourth with $137.500. The total amount loaned on New Mexico lands up to the first of March is $1,599,600, Carried His Bedding A solicitor for a local rooming house met a local train one cold night recently and ran into what he thought was a favorable prospect.

He urged the new arrival to come to his hotel where a warm room and good bed awaited him. The prospective customer, however, declined, saying he was prepared for emergencies and produced a hot roll which he was seen to spread on the depot platform. Evidently the sleep WitS refreshing as the outdoor enthusiast appeared around town nest day as chipper as you please.

British Army Headquarters in France, March 'The Germans this forenoon launched a heavy attack against the British lines over a wide front in and near the Cambrai sector and the assult bears all the car marks of being the beginning of the enemy's much heralded grand offensive. Hard fighting is proceeding from a point north of Lagincourt, southward to Gauchewood, just below Gouzeaucourt. The attack was preceded by a heavy bombardment from guns of all calibres and the duel between the opposing heavy batteries has been rocking the countryside for hours.

The Germans have employed gas shells freely and a constant stream of high velocity shells has been breaking with frightful concussion far back of the British lines. The bombardment began in earnest at 5 o'clock this morning and about tive hours later the enemy forces hurled themselves on the British front line trenches north of Lagnicourt and Louveral, the latter place lying due west of Boursies. At the same time other German forces advanced behind a smoke barrage along the ridge running northward from Gouzeacourt. It may be said that the attack in this region was by 110 means unexpected by the British and that they had made great preparations to meet the slaught. Baptist Revival Rev.
