LOGIC IN STEADY ADVERTISING,

An advertiser in the Abilene Re
Hector has reasoned 1t d. this way:
IF | want to get well acquainted with
a nan to wlom | have b en- introdac-
ed, | speak TO him every time | ms |
him. II | spoke to him but once and
then passed him without recognition
the next time | saw him and con.
tinued to pass him without speaking.
or perhaps speak to him two or three
times a year, we wouldn't get to know
each other 2ry we'll. That the way
| look at this advertising business
When | want the dealers of a certain
lei ritory to ct so familiar with lac
that they will think of ne whenever
they are in need of goods in my me

The New Mexican says that for the

the trade Of San Juan county, and II

SHEEP OUTLOOK.

Consul Williams, who represents
the United States at Cardiff, Wales,
sends an official report which has
peculiar interest for New Mexico. He
says the world Is eating up its sheep.
Its focks have been declining for
three decades, and that decline has
become perceptible In so many coun.
tries that 1t is regarded as the most
remarkable agricultural movement of
our times, and its effect Is already
visible upon the worlds wool and
mutton markets. Mr.. Williams men,
lions a number of causes which have
operated to bring about this result
and shows that these causes are stead.
lily becoming more potent all the time.
The figures taken from official
sources. indicate that the flocks OF
the world have declined at least 3d..
000,0 head since 1873, an average OF
more than 3,uD0,000 head a year and
this decline must continue while pres.
ent conditions prevail.
With the president OF the Santa Fe
railway company advocating lower
freight rates on cattle, and our con.
suls showing by official figures that
the world at large is d~evouring its
sheep, says the albuquerque Journal,
the out look for the two great indus
tries of New Mexico could not we'll
be better.

NOT A PUZZLE.

A yesterday morning Associated
Press dispatch says:
Exploration made in an old Toltet
pyramid on the M~agueyitos Hacienda
IN the state OF Pueblo, have disclosed
The fact that the structure was built
Of clay bricks which proves 1t to be
far older than the Aztec monarchy,
and possibly older than the Toltec &C.
cupation OF the country. Several elab.
o%rately carved figures were found
representing men In Chinese dress
and with marked Chinese features.
The figures probably represented war
riors. ~Antlquarians are much puzzled.
over the matter, as the evidence points
to a Chinese settlement In Mexico in
the past ages"
Antiquarians are, probably, not as
puzzled over the race problem
indicated as the young man who Sent
the Associated Press dispatch from
Mexico City. As a matter Of fact
there Is the strongest kind Of evldencs
the Indians of this continent are
Of Chinese origin and the leading
enthnologcal stud nts OF this country
are satisfied that the forbears of the
American aborigine originally came
from Asia, probably by way OF the
Behring straits.

eETTER METHODS.

While there are many who affect to
be alarmed at the recent startling dis
closures as to the methods Of high
finance, the thinking American people
e In these very disclosures one Of
the brightest signs of the times! The
proof Is plain that the business world
is ~vindicating itself and Is applying to
itself treatment that will result in
cleaner, better business methods.
The Kansas City Journal remar. 8
that II Is ironical rebuke to the rest
of the country that the western dis.
trict Of Indian Territory was the first
to place a Ian upon roping contests.
The Journal talks al though 1t knew,
but It doesn't. The territory OF New
Mexico was the first state or territory
In the union to place a ban upon rop.
Ing contests. The last legislator
passed an act f%orbidding such con.
tests. 1t Is rather surprising, too, for
a paper as far west as the Journal
to talk of "irOnical rebuke." This
paper ought to know that the people
OF Indian Territory and other far
western territories are as far ahead
as the average narrow, conc lite
easterner In all that goes to make
up the broad, intelligent, honorable
American citizen as day is ahead OF
night. The westerner is the easterner
Invested of his bumpt.ousness, bisolry
and self conceit.
