The fruit from the Mimbres valley is
abundant this year and quality is of
the very best. Many wagon loads
have been disposed of here at a fair
price and the demand still exceeds the
supply, although many Deming or
chards are loaded, and, TO some extent,
supply the local needs. Uncle Gum -
W. H. Taylor, called on the Graphic
the first of the week and left with us a
sample Of his plums that we believe
breaks all records up to date. On just
fourteen inches of bough there were
forty-four, large plums. They are a
new variety to us and Mr., Taylor says
with proper care, they may be kept for
weeks in prime condition. No one bnt
Burbank can improve on this fruit.

AWarninG To Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months, TO guard against
bowel troubles. As a rule it is only
necessary to give the child a dose of
castor oil to correct any disorder Of the
bowels. Do not use any substitute, but
give the old fashioned castor oil, and
see that is fresh, as rancid oil nauseates
and has tendency to gripe. If this
does not check the bowels give Cham
berlin's Cholic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy and then dose Of castor oil,
and the disease may be checked in It's
incipiency and all danger avoided. The
castor oil and this remedy should be
procured at once and kept ready for in
stant use as soon as the first indication
Of any bowel trouble appears. This il
the most successful treatment known
and may be relied upon with implicit
confidence even in cases of cholera in
fantum. For sale by all druggists.

Great Wheat Harvest.

1t is said that the wheat crop in the
United States this year is seven hun
dred million bushels, the largest ever
known except the record breaker of
1901,
The yield is 10000, 600 million bush
els more than It was last year. The
crop last year was larger than IL had
ever been known to be before except
in the crop of 1901 when it was 7lS. 900
900. The cotton crop is AN undoubtedly
and exceptionally short one but the
corn crop will probably he a record
breaker. II is estimated that the crop
this year will reach 1854, 900, 900 BUSH
els; this viii be greater than the crop
in 1902, which was more than 100, 900, :
600 millions fewer bushels than this es-
innate. The oat crop it is said will
reach 800, 900, 900 bushels, which will be
the largest yield ever produced in the
United States.

From the Cunard steamer Campania
during its voyage to New York, wire
less message went to London a few days
ago. A lady on board discovered she
had lost a number of valuable rings, a
watch and other articles Of jewelry.
She remembered having them in hotel
in London on could not remember hav-
ing seen them afterwards. They had
been put for the convenience of carry
ing, in a small leather bag The own
er was greatly distressed by the loss
and told the captain of the vessel about
it. A wireless telegram was dispatch
ed to the hotel. On the following day
the captain was able to tell the lady
her jewels were safe. The proprietor
reported that the bag had been found
amcng a pile Of empty boxes, into
which it had apparently fallen while
the Americans were packing. The in
quiry and the reply which relieved the
owners anxiety had been cast into
space and had found the one who alone
was concerned in the matter. Such an
incident would have been incredible a
few years ago, but now it is understood
and believed.

The clouds came up on a summer day,
And covered the clear blue sky,
They hid the face Of the sun away.
While the sudden storm swept by:
And the stricken flowers when the fierce
wind blew
Bent low to the tempest's power;
But they smiled in spite Of their tears
Of dew
In the sunlight after the shower.
Tho clouds came up when my life was
bright,
And covered the sun away,
And my heart grew chill in the sudden
night,
And longed for the vanished day;
But the clouds passed by with the sum-
mer rain,
And then like the storm-tossed flower,
My heart looked up and was glad again
In the sunlight after the shower.
