Abandoned New ENGLAND Farms.

New England's abandoned farms are
to be reclaimed and reoperated on a
plan that is primarily philanthropic
and secOnderily commercial. A COM
pany has been formed with the Sec
rotary of the New York stock exchange
at Its head to purchase arabic land and
farm buildings in the states of Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire
and Vermont and resell both on such
terms as to attract purchasers in large
cities and so relieve the congested
centers of surplus population. The
plan is Endorsed by John Wanamaker,
Mrs. Ballington Booth, Nathaniel S.
Rosemap, manager of the Hebrew
charity fund, and William r. Sessions,
secretary of the state board of agricul-
ture. Officers will be appointed here
tomorrow.
It is estimated that more than two
hundred thousand acres of rich fallow
land, under cultivation twenty years
ago, lies waste today in the New Eng
land States and it is the intentions of
those who have associated themselves
together for the purpose to secure by
option and by outright purchase all or
nesrly all of this vast territory and to
populate it with material drawn from
the crowded cities.
Missionary work will be begun In
| the large cities, principally New York
and Brooklyn, and the assistance of al
organizations interested in lettering
the condition of society will DO in
voked. The president of the compan.
is A. Willis Lightburn, secretary o
the New York wool exchange. GeorR'
M. Atkins is treasurer and Charlie
Roblee general manager.

The Whereforeness of the Which.

A member of the HERALD staff was
asked last night why he did not write
up the elegant costumes worn by the
ladies at Monday nights concert. To
such inquiries it may be replied that
very few horrid men have any idea OF
the intricacies of women's attire; and
when a newspaper writer does not
know the difference between q passa-
mentery and flounce, a gore. and a
bias, gimp trimming and q tuck,
Hamburg edgipg and garniture, or
whether "decolete' refers to a skirt or
mantilla, or is some new style of hat,
it is Just as we'll for him to hesitate
about rushing in where angels fear to
tread.

showing just how to fix things, simply
did he level best and let it 60 at that.
rhe next time the lady interested met
him, she cordially thanked him for
having thus elegantly attired her.
She had been wearing that old
thing" she called it; for so long that
,he had really become tired of 1t, and
was delighted at having been made the
happy possessor of this bran new and
very elegant gown. And then, so near
Christmas don't you know, that it was
really Christmas present, and for that
reason was particularly appreciated.
Wasn't it just too thoughtful for any
thing? Then the newspaper writer

Western Union in Mexico.

One of the biggest telegraph de ais
that has taken place since the absorp-
ton of the Baltimore & Ohio Tele-
graph system by the Western Union
several years ago, has recently been
contaminated between the Western
Union Telegraph company and the
Mexican government, the result OF
which gives the former. company .
monopoly on all the telegraph business
to and from the Repu bile of Mexico In
conjunction with the Mexican Federal
telegraph lines.
Nearly year ago the Postal Tele-
graph and Cable company, represented
by Vice-President Baker; the Mexican
Central railway by Manager Nicker-
son, and the Mexican National railway
railway by President Raoul, held q
meeting in New York City and made =
deal sYreezing out" the Western Union
in Mexico. The Postal made the con-
tract with the Mexican Central and
the Mexican National roads by which
they got all the Mexican business des-
tined to the United States, thereby
outing of the Western Unions oor-
nection except by cable via Gal
weston.
Now 1t has transpired that the West
ern. Union has been secretly negotiating
with the Mexican Federal Telegraph
officials for some time and have
completed their arrangements with
that company and the Mexican gov
eminent.
The two railway companies and the
Postal are barred out of this and the

School Board Meeting.

At the recent school board meeting,
Prof. Putnam stated that the atten-
dance prior to the holidays had not been
what It should have been, as 1t was
found to be something of an effort to
keep children in school as Christm as
approached. The superintendeot's
report showed ,that the enrolment of
pupils for last month at the various
schools was as follows: Central school,
80; Mesa school, 1876; Franklin school,
POI; San Francisco school, 81; Aoy
school, 237; Kindergarten, 12O; colored
school, 81; making total of 1926 white
pupils and 81 colored.
A 13 years old Chinese lad had been
presented for admission to the public
schools, the son of Wing Kee. The
matter was referred to the internal
committee with power to act.
The matter of taking the school
census was brought up by Supt. Put
nam, but no action taken. It was ex-
planned that heretofore the.assesor had
directed this, but under the new law,
the president of the board OF education
would appoint the census takers.
Bills for the past month went over
until the next meeting. To pay the
teachers salaries for December,
amounting to S2759.59, it was decid ed
to draw up two notes of S14OO each,
signed by the proper officers, with
which the needed money might be
drawn from the banks.
The treasurer WAS Instructed to buy
car lead OF coal, payment for which
xsxsald be provided next month.
The next meeting Of the board will
be held on the evening OF the first
Monday in February.

ssCennessee's Pardner."

Seldom b as it been the privilege of
the Lyceum theater patrons to witness
such an excellent production rs the bill
offered for this week in "Tennessee's
Pardner." Rarely have the boards OF
this popular play house been trOdden
by more distinguished players. At
both performances the production was
greeted by large and enthusiastic au-
dienc s. Among the modern plays are
quite number claesed as melOdrama
an in the front rank of the list may
be placed "Tennessee's Partner" 1t
is healthful in tone, clean in dialogue,
and seeks to teach a moral slesson. In
constructing the drama the playwriter
did not construct one strong char acter
as a center, about which all the others
should revolve and by 1t be overshadow-
ed. He chose rather to picture q
group in which each was to play dis
tinctive part of almost equal import
ance, and leave it to the actors to make
of it congruous whole. The plot is
neither deep nor intricate. The scene
is laid in a mining camp in Nevada, in
which Caleb Swan, gambler, and
Asa Bice, his side partner, are the rul-
ing spirits. The play abounds in pref
ty scenes, full of patbos we'll relieved
by comedy. ''Tennessee's Pardner"
is an excellent play and richly de-
serves the success it has met with this
season and last.-Denver News.
The above is one of the many press
notices that the Tennessee Pardner has
received in places where it has been
played.

BAPTIST EVANGELIST.

Rev. w. H. Robinson, of San Anto-
MO, is in town to conduct series OF
revival meetings under the auspices of
the Baptist church. He spoke last
night to a vestry so full of people that
it might be we'll to use the church
auditorium next time. MIR. Robinson
has been giving particular and success
full attention to the Mexican work in
South Texas, and will do the same in
this city, with the special idea Of unit
ing the factions of the l. cal Mexican
Baptist church that have been SO long
divided.
Mr.. Robinson spoke last night of
the power of the Christian faith as q
mighty leaven in the development of
civilization. Edward Everett had
made one of his most pOtable oratorical
efforts in the portrayal of the landing
of the Pilgrim fathers at Plymouth
Rock, Mass. in 1920, and the results
for human kind in general and the
American nation in particular had
been set forth by the orator in such
glowing terms and along such lofty
lines of thought as to win attention
from a vast circle of readers And yet,
the speaker said, there had been a
band of educated men. Syrian fisher
men, who under the leadership and
instruction of our Lord, had esta blish-
ed the foundations of faith that had
never been shaken, and which were
growing firmer and firner as the his
tory of the world progressed. In fact,
it was on the foundations of the faith
established by this band of disciples
that the Pilgrim fathers built their
;.ivil and spiritual superstructure. So
while giving them au%the credit to
which theyIwere entitled, it was only
proper to give the original credit, the
starting of the great wheel of pro
gress, the mainspriugs of the world 8
new spiritual life, to the little band of
apostles who builded better than they
really knew, and whose lives were
given to a work that called for the ex-
ercise of faith in it's most exalted and
lasting form.
In response to invitations from the
pastor, ore or two persons rose for
prayers, aud as there were a number
If Mexican brethren present, Mr..
Robinson offered prayer in Spanish.
Then the pastor, Oh request, prayed
that peace and harmony might once
more reign in the ranks of the Ell Paso
Mexican church.

clan and tried his medicine, and in q week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. It
grew, worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, I began. giving him
