SMS PROBLEM
Society Seeking Methods For
Correcting Habits That
Cause Undernourishment
NEW'YORK, July 29.—Malnutri
tion of children in the United States
constitutes a serious health problem,
according to the New York Associa
tion for Improving the Condition of
(he Poor, which for the last four
find a half years has been testing
various methods of combating tins
evil. Some of the facts ascertained
from the society’s study are included
in a statement given out nere today’.
It is set forth that among 2,181
apparently well children examined
in the medical clinics of the society,
636, or 30 per cent, were diagnosed
as malnourished. The society is
seeking the most effective methods
of correcting habits of eating or
living which cause malnutrition, and
has issued a monograph entitled
“Food for the Family,” containing
suggestions for proper feeding as a
means of insuring proper nutrition
This condition of malnutrition is
not due to insufficient food, but to
the constant use of improperly
chosen food or the inability of the
body to make use of the food eaten
because of insufficient air, rest,
sunshine or physical defects. If
these children were in danger from
fire or industrial accidents, the re
port of the society says, every safe
ty device and preventive measure
known would be urged to protect
them. Although the effects of ma!
nutrition are much slower, often
much more indirect and much less
dramatic than those from fire or
accidents, they are even more de
plorable because of the larger num=
ber affected and the lingering
misery resulting.

THOMAS COUNTY SOLD
MANY HOGS THIS YEAR
THOMASVILLE, July 29.—Re
viewing the hog sales of last year.
W. W. Webb, of the State Bureau
of Markets, says that Thomas coun
ty was third in the state in the
quantity of hogs sold and first in
the quality of the hogs. The lot of
hogs sold here in the sale of last
October, Mr. Webb says, was the
finest he has ever seen anywhere in
the state.
He says the prospects are good
for Thomas -county to get in the
lead this year as he has not seen
corn and potatoes so fine and plen
tiful anywhere as they are in this
county. He and the packing house
people have estimated that hogs
could be fattened in this county on
the surplus peanuts, sweet potatoes
and corn at 3 cents per pound.

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER
BANKRUPTCY AND JAIL CAN’T
SILENCE EDITOR MAGEE
“The Fightingest Editor in
America” Defies Judge
and Bankruptcy
LAS VEGGAS, N. M., July 29
Carl C. Magee is staking his free
dom and his future on a fight.
He has been sent to jail and to
the verge of bankruptcy, but he
fights on to:
Overthrow the political gang that
rules San Miguel county.
Establish the freedom of the
press in New Mexico.
He has earned the title of the
“fightingest editor in America.” He
was given this title when he defied
the powers of Judge David J. Leahy
boss of the “kingdom of San Mig
uel.”
Ever since Magee started publish
ing his paper in Albuquerque he at
tacked the judge as corrupt. Once
before he was sentenced to 18
months at hard labor and to pay a
fine of S4OOO. He was pardoned
by Governor Hinkle before he went
to prison.
This did not deter him. He had
declared his war and he fought on.
Defies Court.
He was summoned again. Under
this threat, he wrote:
“Leahy’s ‘court’ isn’t a court. It
is a slaughter-house for the blind
goddess of justice.
‘“Abandon hope all ye who enter
here,’ could be put over the en
trance with great propriety. I doubt
whether a case, civil or criminal,
has been decided there on its merits
in 10 years.
“If the time ever comes that I
can get Leahy on an equal footing
with me in an honest court, I’ll take
him to the worst cleaning one man
ever received. About once in two
weeks I have accused him of being
a corrupt judge in the hope that I
could inveigle him into suing me for
libel. Then I’d have him down on
the floor of the court with someone
else on the-bench and a jury in the
box.”
So he was sentenced to jail again.
Even in his cell writing on a pad
of copy paper on the bottom of a
chair, he continued his editorial at
tack upon Judge Leahy and his as
sociates.
Forced To Sell
Magee came to New Mexico in
1920 from Tulsa, Okla., because of
his wife’s illness. He started his
first paper and his fight at the
same time.
His bankers called in loans when
he exposed a deal in which banks
profited at the state’s loss.
He was forced to sell his paper.
He bought anothex’ paper, and back
ed by the Scripps-Howard organi
zation, continue the battle
Magee, a rangy man with steel
gray eyes, is little worried about his
own fate.
When he walked into court to
face Leahy the last time, he was
asked if he had any reason to of
fer why sentence should not be
pronounced. He remarked in mat
ter-of-fact tones, without any hint
of being dramatic:

“I deny that I am being accord
ed due process of law.”
The judge stutterea, so surprised
was he at this challenge to himself.
He asked Magee to repeat.
Then he found him guilty on an
other count of contempt.
EAGLE KILLED AT
TRACY’S LAKE SUNDAY
