Two men were driving across
the county during a season of
high water. They came to a
stream where the bridge was
gone and the stream a raging
torrent. One of the men who
was very religious SAID, Broth
er we will engage in prayer and
then trust ourselves to PrOvi-
dence to cross the stream.
"Not on your life," said the
first man as he prepared to
climb out of the buggy.
"Don't you think, brother,'
said the second man, that
Providence can save u.s."
ooh, yes, l think Providence
could pull US through all right,
but | have a bunch that tn e
Lord isn't going out of his way

over supply of them anyway"

Commencement Exercises.

Many high schools in this State
make their closing exercises elabo,
rate in detail and much in quantity.
Frequently whole month of the
term and perhaps six weeks is
taken up in "getting' and practicing
pieces, gymnastics, and the at
tempt on the part of some of the
advanced pupils to acquire portion
of PaderweSki's wild breaks at
the piano. This makes a great
show, to be sure, but it takes up
valuable time at expense of both
patron and pupil. 1t is amusing to
the pupil admittedly, but it is un-
doubtedly lost motion in the great
realistic game of life. 1t is i'm
practicable and therefore entirely
unsulted to the great majority who
send their children to school, often
at great inconvenience, to fit them
for the useful aVocatonS of life.
The News is glad to say that little
time is lost in this respect in the
Canyon City School. Here, with
in the school room the rule is to tit
the young mind for graphing with
the serious problems of life, and the
play part comes where of right it
ought to be, during vacation. And
50 the closing exercises Of the Can
yon City School were not extensive
in a dramatic sense. Enough,
however, was given to prove in
teresting and pleasing to all who
attended.

Randall County Crops.

The acreage IN small grain is
much larger than usual and its con-
dltlon at this date is all that could
be asked for. Another rain be-
tween now and June IS, will finish
up this crop in so far as required
moisture is concerned. With this
rain at the proper time large
yield in bushels is practically as
sured as we'll as the grade which
promises to be No. l.
The corn, Kaffr corn and maize
crops are just being "pitched,'
that is, some of it, good many of
our farmers preferring to wait until
next month so, as they say, "not
to be bothered with weeds" The
ground set aside for these crops
ought to have been in fine condi-I
tion-much of it is not however,
as the owners, 'tWould hardly do
to call them farmers, have permitted
it to 90 to weeds. Of course, as
one of them remarked to our re.
porter, "theSe will be killed at the
time of planting in June,' but as
all thorough farmers know, much
is lost by this method of doing
things. The season has been ideal
for crop making and for crop prepar-
alton and if the operator had done
his part up to date, one-half the
battle for big crop would have
been over.
No accidents happening we are
going to have fair crop of fruit on
the Plains and the quality will be
excellent.
Those who gave proper attention
to it are having home raised vege-
tables to grace the table and good
vegetables too.
If The News man is any judge of
climate and soil, and he prideS him
self on being such, at least of Texas
terra firma, good farmers could
make of this Plains country high
ly productive region for nowhere
in this vast State do things grow
so we'll with so small an amount of
labor.

ROAST FOR
THE HORNY TOAD
TRAIN SERVICE
EI PaSo Again Protests Against
''ExeCrabIe' AcCommoda-
tionS on the Santa Fe,

The people of FL Paso are as anX-
lous as the people of New Mexico and
Albuquerque to see a daylight train
running on the Rio Grande division.
The El Paso Times which has been
hammering away persistently for bet
ter service, says:
In behalf Of the business inter-
ests of FL Paso and the people be-
tween this city and Albuquerque, The
Times must again protest against the
eXecrable passenger service which
the Santa Fe is giving us. The trains
are night trains both ways and are
always crowded with passengers be-
tween stations, not because people
like to travel on local trains at night
but because there is as yet no other
way to proceed between points on
that Zine.
1t would seem that self interest
would suggest to the Santa Fe that
better passenger service with day
trains would promote business not in
the passenger line alone but in freight
traffic as well.
The people of that territory trans
act their business-their away-from-
home business-in Ell Paso, and If
they had 4 direct passenger service
which would put them into FL Paso
at a seasonable hour with a return
schedule that would allow them to
get back homo at 4 reasonable time,
the freight hauled out of El Paso
would greatly increase.
This is a matter that should be
taken in hand by the business men
of El Paso and such action should be
taken as would secure a reform.
As the Times said two weeks ago,
in the SOS the Santa Fe had a Spe-
cial train to Silver City via Rincon
and Deming, but since that was dis
continued the management of that
road has made no effort to increase
Its business, or improve its accom-
| modations for passengers, notwith-
standing the growth in population, the
! increase in mining and the import
ance of the towns along~the line.
Silver City has grown in import
ance as a mining and smelling center;
Haywood Hot Springs has become fa-
nous as resort and Deming, Rim
con. and Las Cruces more than dou-
| bled in population and business in
, that time and deserve. from every
standpoint, good train service.
/ The people in the section ignored
| by the management of the Santa Fe,
MS well as the people of FL Paso, as
| a matter of practically self-preserya-
! tion. must have a remedy. If the
Santa Fe does not give service which
| the interests of that splendid section
and FL Faso- should command. it in
/ vites a competing line. the building of
which depends entirely upon what
relief measures the Santa Fe may
! take, and it may he built anyway if
the concessions from the Santa Fe are
not liberal and quickly made.

COLORADO MAN TO
, RUN AN AIRSHIP LINE
Inventor Claims lie Will Put Rali"
rods Out of Business.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 27,-According
to the statement of Frank ID. Jaquett'
of 1G49 Champa street, the railroads
of Colorado, will within the next year
have a formidable competitor in the
shane of a line of airships which will
be Operated between the various towns
of the state and which, their invento"
claims, will give a service equal ana
in some cases superior to that OF the
railroads. The inventor claims thdt
this aerial navigation is no wild dream
of the future, but a present day latt
and states that next year will see

Mr. Jauuette is at present engaged
on the construction of thirty-foot
model which he asserts will carry two
persons. He expects to have this mo-
del finished by the holidays and Will
Then begin the building of 1bO-foot
model which he intends to have in op-
Grafton by spring.
2 The Jaquette airship is of an entire
Nv different design from those of 9th

/ tcally all experiments along the Inc
