The Jal Flare is issued every Thursday by the Flare Publishing Company from Jal, Lea County, New Mexico, providing local news and community notices for residents.
Welcome Wednesday marks completion of Jal’s modern water system with a new storage tank and improved fire protection. A city park is planned, trees and lawns are being planted, and residents anticipate an oasis of delight. The newspaper invites neighbors to attend the barbecue and celebrate ongoing improvements.
Col. C. D. Woolworth, a beloved Jal homesteader and ranching pioneer, died last November after building a 1200 head cattle herd on 70 sections and owning about fifty, with 35 producing wells. He helped fund Jal churches and engaged in state politics and national affairs, once aiding Roosevelt’s inauguration.

Mrs. A Q Cooper of Odessa a Jal pioneer will return Wednesday to join the festivities surrounding the Waterworks Celebration.
