July has been rather a remarkable
month according TO the record Of Dir
Bailey, the government meteorologist
The month has been particularly
noteworthy in the number of partly
cloudy days which totalled fourteen,
with two days entirely clonded. Fiji
teen days were clear. 1t might be
said in explanation that when the day
is less than half cloudy 1t is classed
clear more than half is partly
cloudy and cloudy" means no sun.
shine at all.
Another remarkable feature Of the
month Just past was a record of near
ly five inches of rainfall; the exact
figures read 4:95 inches. The aver
age maximum temperature was SIS;
the average minimum So. On two
days the temperature reached SO de-
grees, namely the 9th and 10th. This
in itself was unusual for Las Vegas.
On the nights Of the Sd and Sth the
thermometer sank to As degrees.
The average humidity for the month
was 55 degrees.

Dear Mr.. Rodey:-- am just now in
receipt Of your letter of the 18th inst.
and in reply want 10 say the incident
your refer to did not attract my attens
ton, probably for the reason that d
conversation is often interrupted by
parties being called away or by some
demand upon their time.
i was very much interested in
your letter and have carefully noted
its contents.
while | can not speak for the com
mittee on territories or for any other
senator, | may say that the prevail.
ing sentiment among republican mem.
hers, as | understood it, was in favor
Of joint statehood for New Mexico
and Arizona and my belief is that
no bill would pass the senate that
gave separate statehood to these two
territories.
4 a see how difficult it may be
TO satisfy your republican friends
that the wisest course for those who
want statehood is to accept present
conditions and TO unite in the sup.
port Of joint statehood, but / trust
you will be able to harmonic differ
ences and secure for us a republican
victory in New Mexico next Noyem.

pig race. For the purpose a pig for
each boy should be released in a room
in the barn. and the boys be given
each a designated pig t, catch. 1t
may be hard on the pigs, but it will be
great sport for the boys and the audi

less noisy is blindman's wand, in
which the parties playing form circle
about the one who is blindfolded. Tho
biindfolded one has cane or small
stick, and after the others have circled
about him to the accompaniment Of
any we'll known song, he points his
wand at one in the circle and initiates

one pointed to must repeat the noise.

not be known. Three times may the
test be repeated, initiating a different
animal each time. If at the end of the
three tests the blindfolded one is still
undecided as to who he is pointing tc
he may run his wand over him and
find out in that way, if possible. If he
guesses who it is places are exchanged
and the game begins over again.
Christmas ca1dles sound Christ

the game is, it will afford Amusement.
