Eidr Astronomy. rounded on the Ninth
ton of Lynns Celestial Notions BY David
P. Todd MA: PhD professor Of astronomy ON
and director of the Sbssryaoy Amherst Col Col
Boston: Little. Brown & Company.
Prof Todd has taken as the basis of his
work little work by William Thyme
Lynn. formerly of the Royal Observatory
at Greenwich, and has amplified it with
many notes and much new matter, besides
enrching it with profuse illustrations, in
Guiding many portraits of astronomers who
have died after making valuable contribu
tons to the knowledge of this vast subject.
In Prof. Todd's language, the book is in-
tended to meet an American demand for a
plain unrhetorical statement of the astron-
ony of today" The science is progressing
at steady a pace that the astronomy of
a decade ago is by no means that of the
present. There have been many remark
able inventions in the field of mechanical
aids to investigation. There have been
many ingenious theories advanced. Many
important discoveries have been made.
Hence, an account of the status of the
science at this time is of rare value to the
reader interested in this line of research.

The Sugar Beet.

The sugar beet still cuts a very small
figure so far as acreage is concerned.
In the year1S97 there was but41, 900 acres
in beets, in the whole country, while
right here in Santa Fe valley, accord
ing to experts, 10000 acres could be
proitably used for sugar making. The
largest factory in the country. belongs
to Claus Spreckels and is at Salinas.
Cal. 1t will manufacture 400 tons OF
sugar daily and handle the beets from
10000 acres. Michigan has Joined the
ranks of the sugar making states and
last year operated a beet sugar factory
that used 300 tons of beets daily during
the season. Two factories have been
built in New York and a number of new
ones are planned for California. The
factory in Utah is one of the most prof
table in the United States. Its beets
are grown by irrigation, as are the beets
used at Carlsbad. in the Pecos valley.
In 1897 the average yield of beets per
acre in the fields of the United States
was nine and one.half tons to the acre,
which brought the growers from $4.25
to 1928 per ton. The total number OF
tons was nearly 800, 600.

1t is said that God hates a coward, So
does man. The following recent utter
ance of Governor Roosevelt to a western
friend is a terse echo of the opinion of all
true Americans. 1.-The exercise of or
binary decency, ordinary courage and
ordinary virtue in an ordinary man can
make a hero A man must have it. II
is absolutely necessary. Decency counts.
Virtue counts. But courage in any man
is al immediate necessity. No man is
fit to live i II a free government who is not
able to take carr of himself, There are a
few times in every mans life when he is
compelled to fight, not with his brain
alone, but with his fists. | believe in
strength of body. l believe in a fight if
a difficulty can be settled honorably in
no other way. And l believe that the
man who would force on us the doctrine
that a nation should never go to war,
and that q man should never fight,
vitiates and does us more harm than the
bad man of the plains"

Speaker to Have Less Power.

The Republican members Of congress
have arranged a program that will take
from the speaker the power to hinder
and delay legislation. A committee will
manage legislation in the interest of the
majority and the speaker will not be a
member of the committee. General
Henderson, the next speaker, approves
of the plan. The Republicans will have
a majority of but 10 over combined op-
position and must work in unison. The
Democrats will ''play politics." and find
causes to oppose an administration pro-
gram with regard to Cuba, the Philip
pines and the Nicaragua canal. To
hinder and embarrass rather than to aid
in progress will be the plan of the Dem
ocrats who play for party advantage.
There will be some support for them
from Aguinaldoists, lobbyists and the
element that is ave forninst the powers
that be. Many Democratic congress-
men who voted for appropriations and
bonds for the Cuban war, will hedge by
declaring the present campaign is too
expensive. The coming political con-
test will cause them to seek to make q
party record Us economists. Their party

Admiral Dewey has a son who is a
commercial traveller. Newspaper re.
porters have sought to interview him,
but he is sensible enough to decline to
talk of himself or his father. TO a re.
porter he said: "Why should l talk for

give the public interest in me. If my
father has won distinction, l had moth.
ing to do with it: it does not make anv
difference to me. If | went to talking

admiral does not possess all of the com
mon sense in the family. There are SO
few who are unwilling to accept reflect

Cuban Crops Reports Of Interest Here,

Professor Willis l.. Moore, the present
chief of the United States weather
bureau, with the energy which has
characterized his administration of
this highly popular branch of the pub
lie service, has completed the organiza-
ton of the climate and crop sections in
the islands of Cuba and Puerto Rico.
Weekly climate and crop bulletins are
now being issued regularly from the
central stations at Havana and San
Juan, and arrangements are complete
for monthly meteorological reports
such as are now being issued by the
New Mexico section, and by the various
climate and crop sections of the United
States. The bureau has been very sue
cessful in organizing this work in these
new possessions. A large number of
voluntary stations have been estab-
lished in both islands. and the work for
securing others is being prosecuted with
vigor.
The weekly bulletins, which were be-
gun some weeks ago and which are at
tracing much favorable attention, are
printed in both Spanish and English,
and the monthly reports, which will
shortly appear, will be issued in a like
manner. In the National Climate and
Crop Bulletin, issued every Tuesday
from Washington during the crop sea-
son, space is now being given for a tele-
graphic summary of the conditions pre-
vailing in Cuba during the past week,
thus placing the Cuba section on the
same footing with the various sections
of the Union in this respect.
The production of beet sugar has al
ready secured a firm footing in New
Mexico, with fair prospects of becoming
one of the leading industries. As about
two-thirds of the 800, OOO, 900 worth of
sugar annually imported by the United
States comes from Cuba and Puerto
Rico, this country is already, in a small
way, in competition with the products
of the islands, and'the establishment of
this service, which will keep the public
informed of the current climatic condi-
tions and their effects on the cane crops
of the islands, is a matter for common
dation by citizens of this territory.

A COUNTY RANGES.
nordSburU Liberal.)

For the first time in the memory OF
the oldest inhabitant we have been
visited with rains early in the last half
of June. AS a general thing we have
our first rain Of the rainy season here
on the Fourth of July, although it is not
surprising to have it come any time
during the week previous to the Fourth.
We we're visited with a nice rain here
in town and a heavy rain fell to the
east and northeast of town. 1t was ac-
companicd by thunder and lightning
and all the peculiar combinations that
are noticed with the opening of the
rainy season. The ranges are badly in
need of rain, and to suit the cattle men
it cannot come too quickly, nor can too
much of it appear.

THE SUMMER SCHOOL.
(Alamogordo News

All Indications point to a large at
tendance. Several counties of New
Mexico will hold joint institutes at
%Cloudcroft during the time the school is
in session, and the school teachers will
thus be given an opportunity to avail
themselves of the advantages of the
school of methods without additional
cost. The different county superintend-
ents of schools are invited to join with
those counties already cooperating, and
hold one grand institute. The advan-
tages of such an institute are many and
the teachers will be benefited by thus
meeting their co-workers from all parts
of the territory far more than if separ-
ate Institutes were held in each county.
Splendid accommodations have been
prepared for the teachers, and they will
have every comfort on the grounds.
Teachers intending to reach Cloudcroft
by railroad from Ell Paso, will start
Saturday morning, July /.

New Mexico now ranks high in the
banking world. Yesterday a Denver
firm paid from 2 to 3 per centum prem.
ium for $4,000 of territorial certificates
that have but from one to five years to
run, and but a few weeks ago eastern
brokers paid 104 for bonds of longer
duration. The present administration
of affairs, the earnest efforts of the gov
ernor and the business like course of the
last Republican legislature have lifted
the territorial credit from the depression
In which it was once plunged, when
bonds would not sell for par value. To-
day not only do all territorial obliga-
lions issued bring a premium but those
sold by municipalities sell above par.
The credit of a country does not i'm
prove without cause, and the cause in
this instance is the excellent admins
tration Of public affairs and the general
revival of prosperity and confidence due
to the election of Republicans to power.

ton. Nearby in New Mexico were un-
settled lands far preferable to those on
the reservation. 1t is no wonder there
fore that the rush to the reservation
and the almost as sudden abandonment
of the land seems but a weird dream,
and that the sagebrush city of Arboles
exists merely in the mind of correspond
ents. Irrigation was lacking and with
out water, farms could not be made.
Perhaps, when the storage reservoirs
are made. the Ute reservation may be-
come the homes of people and Arboles
be a prosperous village.

FARMER FULLEN'S ADVICE.

Think! Think as you hold the handle
of the pillow or drive the cultivator down
the corn rows. Investigate as to why
one portion of the field is making more
promising growth than another. Why's
very frequently take the grind out of
the toll. These are the test days of the
farmer, and if you can determine what
will increase the crop yield you have
solved big problems. This can't be done
by saying, cts too wet" or sits too
dry" but the intelligent farmer will and
does give the cultivation that existing
conditions require; with him brain
guides muscle.
