THATCHER ITEMS

Regular correspondence 10 GUARDIAN,
Delayed from last week..
The military ball given by the
National Guards of this place
on last Friday night was the
grandest affair in the shape of
ball that has ever been witnessed
in Thatcher, or for that matter, in
the ella valley. The ball decora-
tons were splendid. The walls
being draped with bunting and
flags and the ceiling decorated
with the instruments used in the
military brass band. The large
curtain in front Of the stage was
also draped with fiass and crossed
with swords and all together the
hall presented an elegant appear
ance. Add to this the fine music
furnished by the Ft. Grant orches
ira and the reader may form some
idea Of the pleasure enjoyed by
those present. About two hun
dred couples were present and
ave danced all night
Till broad daylight
And went home with
The girls in the morning"
The occasion will long DO remem-
bered by all who were present and
especially by the members of Com
pany y, lst Infantry n. G. A. as
their initiative ball.
On Wednesday afternoon one of
lr. Nc Hers boys was driving a
cow down the county road toward
Thatcher and jn-t above Mr. Johns
place the cow broke through the
fence and into the field. The boy
got off his horse, which belonged
to John Nash, 10 go after the COW,
and returned just in time to see
Mexican riding his horse off. The
Mexican was on horseback when
he came up but probably the horse
he was riding did not belong to
him and he thought by trading be
could get one of his own, believing
no doubt that "a fair exchange is
no robbery" However that may
he, he left his own "crow bait" and
took the boys and struck a
.tchuak-o, ,beef-an' two p )tater" rate
Down the road till he came to the
bridge opposite Church street, and
crossing the canal there, made bis
way through the fields, cutting
wire fences as he went, and crossed
the river. J. NJ. Rollins followed
the trail as far as the river, but be-
ing bareback he ga up the chase.
Mr.. Nash at once notified the Off
GERS and no doubt he will be
caught and made to trade bach.
1t may be that he will be given
some shoot" in the trade. If he
doesn't get it between the heels
and the shoulders at the rear Of his
pl ysical anatomy.

The Sixty club celebrated the sixty
seventh birthday of Mrs. William Mai
smith Wednesday, completing at the
same time the second year of its ex
~istence. Eleven of the members were
present, those attending being Mes.
danes Godat, Blake, Mulholland,
Stark, Robinson, Dodge, Brands,
| WEIGH, Davis, Foote and Naismith,
Mrs. Dunning, who has been spending
| the winter in California, is expected
home next month. During the after
noon Photographer Bergeron made sew
eral negatives of the club, succeeding
in securing an excellent group picture
and also getting a beautiful view OF
the table. Mrs. Godat, the eldest mem
Der Of the club, read ali inspiring poem
entitled Courage" by Walter Ma
thews. Mrs. Stark had selected an
exquisite Birthday Prayer" which she
read as a tribute to the hostess. Mrs
Naismith. These lines were as fol
lows:
1.-The years are fitting; l must haste
| Nor let one golden moment waste.
Though all unworthy I may be,
Blest Savior, | would live for Thee.
and so l ask of Thee today,
A gift, a birthday gift, I pray;
IT'S not for wealth | plead, nor fame
But power to glorify Thy name.
THE self in me now cruelty;
Forgive me, cleanse me, purify:
My empty heart. dear Savior, fill,
MY spirit with Thy presence thrill.
It'll every word and deed of mine,
Shall prove me. Lord, a child Of Thine
And in my life's pure overflow.
Thy Christlike image daily show"
A lifelike portrait of the aged moth
err of Mrs. Naismith looked down iron
the wall in benediction upon the happ.
company. She attained the venerable
age of %ninety-four, Mrs. Naismith be
ing the youngest and only surviving
member of her family of nine children
The club gathered about the tabl'
at five o'clock, and the scene was in
deed a beautiful one. In the center o
the loaded board stood a magnif
cent cluster OF carnations and ferns
n loving birthday token from Mis-
Efie Naismith. Mrs. Naismith was ais,
substantially remembered by the othe
members of her family. The hostes
was assisted by her daughters, Mes
danes w. J.. Naismith and Charlie
Harris and by her granddaughter, Mis-
Verna Naismith, who anticipates
every possible desire Of the guests. l
is indeed a proof of the wonderful Wit
ality of the personnel ofthis remarkable
club that they have discussed suc|
feasts for two years and have neve
lost a member. At six o'clock the tabl
was again fillel and in all nearly thirt,
guests partook of the bountiful re
past provided by the hostess. TIL

Farmer Chinnock's
Chinch Bug Talk.
From the Hudson star-Times.

From the Hudson StarTimes
Dear Sir:-As seeding time draws
near, the question that occupies the
farmers mind is what to plant and
how to plant it to avoid, as far as
possible, a repetition of the damage
caused by chinch bugs last year. l
think we ought TO do all we can to
destroy them by burning all the old
grass on lands not plowed, all old
straw and litter, as it is in these
places that they pass the winter.
In the warm days in seeding time
thousands of these little pests can
be seen flying everywhere. Rye at
this time is growing vigorously,
making an ideal place for the bugs
to deposit their eggs and raise their
young. The rye natures too early
for them 10 do much damage to the
crop, but the field of wheat or corn
adjoining must suffer after the rye
harvest which is usually about the
10th Of July.
The wheat at this time is just
coming in blossom and the corn in
tassel. The bugs are now not old
enough to fly, so they travel in vast
numbers to the nearest field, often
totally destroying the crop. If any
farmer has field of rye this spring
and contemplates planting the adj
joining fields to wheat, barley or
corn, l would advise him to plant a
few rows of potatoes between the
fields. | think he can pretty efec-
tual1y check them in this way. The
bugs will not eat the potatoes but
will eat all the little blades of pigeon
grass that always grow between the
the potatoes with paris green, the
spray also reaches the little blades
Of grass and the bugs die, as do the
potato bugs. l learned this from
having a piece of potatoes between
a field of corn and small grain last
year. Although there were bugs in
the grain, there were no bugs on
that side of my cornfeld adjoining
the potatoes, though only a few rods
from the grain.

Mr.. WI TING Fan0. the Chimes

Mr.. WI Ting Fang, the Chinese
minister at Washington, does a
great deal of talking, and much of
his talk is merely-talk. He is said
to be very learned man, and per-
haps he is, but learning is not wis
dom. Being diplomat he may
consider himself called upon to say
many things for effect, without re-
gard to the merits of the case or of
his own convictions. The condi-
tons of society are radically differ
ent here from what they are in Chi
ma, and many consider Minister
Wu's public criticisms of American
society not in good taste and his
judgment incompetent. At re-
cent gathering of women he seems
to have made an effort to ingratiate
himself into their favor by his re-
marks on the rights of American
women. In this speech he demand
ed more for women than Susan B.
Anthony, the apostle of woman's
rights has ever asked. He advocat-
ed that women who had come I'M
der the Introduction of the law
should be tried by a jury of their
own sex. If in making this state
ment he intended it as a compli-
ment to the women it is susceptible
of double inference. Did he in
tend it to be understood that wom-
en- have better judgment than men
or that they would be more lenient
to delinquences in their sex than
would men? If Mr.. WI has read
the history of court proceedings in
this country he would know that it
is very rare thing for jury of
men to convict a woman Of a pun
lshable oftense. Does he suppose
that jury Of women would be as
lenient with women indicted for
crime? A man feels a natural re-
pugnance to the imposition of any
thing like punishment that occasions
suffering to a woman. He would
the rather assume the blame and
suffer the penalty of her crime in
his own person.
