The 18th OF February, known TO the
civilized world as st. Valentines day,
received its name from Valentine, u
OF the early Christian martyrs, who
suffered death In the reign of the Roman
emperor, Claudius, while endeayoring to
interrupt the pagan festivities sacred to
June Februats. There are no circum-
stances OF his life which would seem TO
have originated the custom OF choosing
valentines (sweethearts), a il done to-
day at the time of the festival; but the
practice is known 10 be very old, and
was probably submitted for a pagan
observance by which boys and girls drew
each others names on the l4th Of Feb

houses hold 5000 tons and the Albuquer-
que house 1000. The balance IL stored In

tween Nj Paso, Deming and La Junta.
The contract calls FOR the ice TO be paid

The main part Of the southern Caiifor-
