a GOOD CITIZEN
GONE To REST.

William Richard Crouch "a born il
Southern Illinois March 30, 1913; died,
after lingering illness, at his home at
Flora Vista, on the morning Of Nov. 6,
1908. Few men were better known, or
more highly respected in the vicinity
where he had reside,i for over twenty
four years, than Mr., Crouch. 1t is hard
TO write of his death-hard to realize
that his voice is hushed and his great
heart stiled forever.
Funeral services we're conducted by
Rev, Mr.. Lewis at Pennington, and there
were few in the large audience that
gathered to pay their last tribute, who
had not at some time felt the influence
of his kindness of heart and manner
He had lived a consistant member of the
Southern Methodist church for mum
ber of years. He was kind husband,
an affectionate father, a good neighbor
and dutiful son. He leaves an aged
father, wife, one daughter, and al
adopted daughter to mourn his loss.
God grant that to his soul has come t
new dawn-a new life, and that thC
family circle which has been broken here
may be united in hat land where "GoC
shall wipe away all tears. and Their
shall be no more death neither sorrow
nor crying"

Over the river with noiseless tread

Free from the call of drum or fife,
Free from the clamors Of sin and strife,
They wait for the Judgment day"

Method Of Measuring Hay.

House Bill No l02, approved March
l6, 1901. was enacted by the last legisla-
tive assembly. as follows:
Be it enacted by the Legislative Aassem'
bly, OF the Territory of New Mexico:
Section |. The following rule and
method of measuring loose hay in the
stack, and specifying the cubical con-
tents of ton of loose hay, is hereby
established.
Section ,. Measure the stack for
length, width aud 'over" To get the
'oyer," throw tape line over the stack
at 40 average place, from ground to
ground drawing it tightly.
Multiply the width by the over add
divide this result by four.
Multiply result of division 6y the
length, for approximate cubical contents
Of stack.
To reduce to tons, for hay that has
stood in stack less than 20 days, divide
cubical contents by 5l2, for more than
20 and less than 60 days divide cubical
contents by 422 for more than sixty
DAYS divide cubical contents by $50.
Example. Stack measures II feet
wide, 58 feet long, and 36 feet over, Stack
has stood 10 days.
Multiply II by &c equals GID.
Divide 6l2 by equals l53.
Multiply 1913 by length 5S equals 1874
which gives the cubical contents in feet
Divide 1874 by 5l2 equals II 80 tons
in stack.

A detailed estimate of the years
wheat crop throughout the world shows
a shortage of more than $1,000, 900 bush
els In Frasce the heaviest yield ever
known, save sor three years, 1874. 1898
and 1899 is reported, tho average being
tweny-oue and half imperial pounds to
the acre. Taking Europe in general,
the years yield is estimated at 115SS3,-
030 bushels less than last year and this
deficit will require an importation of
something like 32G, l33, $3.50 bushels, the
most Of which will have to go from the
Uuited States. While this is.a pleasant
prospective it does not mean that wheat
will go to dollar q bushel, for it mnst
be remembered that the price of the
great cereal is fixed each day by the
Liverpool market, As the Englishmen
are the buyers and not the producers of
wheat, one can readily understand their
incentive for keeping the quotations
down, and dollar wheat is, after ALL
merely the dream of pipers who like to
talk in their sleep, Field and Farm.

Panama has cut loose from Columbia
and declared her self free and inde-
pendent state and has been so recogniz.
ed by President Roosevelt OF the In
dependence Of Panama and its effect on
the canal treaty, the Denver News says;
Panama independen means the full.
fllment of the conditional sale to the
United States by the French Panama
company, for 540,000,0O0 in cash, most of
which goes to the holders of stock in
France, with a retainer to certain gen
tlemen in the neighborhood of Wall
street. The original Panama franchise
expires within a year-the amended
franchise has six years to run. For the
latter the French company paid Sl,OOO,-
600 in cash to a Colombian president,
who had the foresight to dismiss his
congress before the the bargain was
concluded Our government, on the ad
vice of its commission OF experts, having
decided that the canal and its franchises
are worth S40,000,000, that s Im has been
set aside for tn . French company entire
ly regardless of the So called lega! objec-
tions of the Bogota government. To
agree with Colombia and cheat the
Frenchmen seems out of the question.
The immediate construction of the canal
"a very popular project in the South
and VESTS therefore dependent upou
the Independence of the state of Panama
and the making of satisfactory arrange
ment with the new government. This
treaty will not tolerate the sovereignty
claims set up by Colombia, nor any other
item that will hamper the use of the
canal in peace, or danger the Investment

For Good Roads in New Mexico.

''rhe New Mexicau believes that an
nually almost 5000, 600 are spent in New
Mexico in pitching up old and worn out
roads. Werc such SUN spent annually
in building several miles Of good, ma
cadamized roads, this territory would
soon have system of magnificent roads,
such as exist in Switzerland and other
mountain countries. 1t twould be money
we'll spent aud would prove so profitable
that every county and every town would
90 to great lengths to aid the good roads
movement" The above from the Santa
Fe New Mexican is an important, timely
and excellent suggestion, Good roads
througbot New Mexico, are scarce, and
should the money, that is being used to
patch up old roads, be used in building
new ones the, time would soon come
when we could boast Of hundreds and
thousands of miles OF first class roads,
The people pay taxes enough to enable
US to have good roads. There is no i'm
provement that attracts the travellers
eye nearly 50 quick as good weIl-kept
road, and there is nothing that shows up
