a Juvenile View.

Margery's mother owns half a
dozen rush bottomed chairs of the
George Washington period. The
seats had finally suecumbed to the
ravages Of time and settled into
deep baskets which Margery found
very cozy to sit in with her legs
hanging over the front of the seat.
But at last the mother CHANGED to
find a man who reseated the pre-
cious heirlooms with some old rush
and by the same old method of the
earlier period. The seats were now
firm, hard and taut. Margery sat
down in one when they had all come
back from the repair shop.

plaintive voice, 'these chairs are
not half so comfy as they used to be.

Of three months Rev. w., A. Pratt ar
rived from Hydro, Okla, to take up
the work. In the meantime the trus-
tees had secured the donation from the
Extension Society and the work was
going ahead.
At present the building stands com
pleted, excepting pews, in place Of
which saw horses with planks are a
make shift. The cost of the whole, in
Guiding lots which were donated is some
thing more than $500. A small indebt-
edness of about $500 yet remains to be
met. 1t is hoped to raise this amount
and sufficient to secure suitable pews on
next Sabbath.
The board, which nas had charge of
the work, feels grateful to the citizens
and friends of the valley who through
theirgifts have made possible the erect
ion of such structure-a credit to the
town and valley and a blessing to the
community.

years past, but no record has been

the way of cultivation, the ground be-

it waste of time. The beets made no
startling growth until after the late
August rains, when the grew and grew

he has harvested the crop, which he

tanning eighty-fve square rods he took
s, ,4S0 pounds of the beets, or at the
rate of five tons per acre. He claims
that with deep breaking and cultiva-
tion he can double this yield. Be that
as it may, heihas grown five tons per
acre. A test made of the beets grown
here two years ago, ran 1910 per cent

Short hist0ru of the Local ORGAN
izdtiOn

The new Methodist Church, complet-
ed all except the pews is to be dedicat-
ed next Sunday morning. The pastor
arranged with Rev. Samuel Blair, D. D.,
superintendent of the English Missions
of the M. E. Church in the territory to
be present and oficiate.
The building is of frame, the auditor
ium being 20x40 feet, with class room
16x24, adjoining and connected by fold
ing doors. The interior is finished in
hard pine, natural finish. The founda-
ton is of cement blocks on solid cement
footing. A tower and belfry add much
to the appearance of the building
The local Methodist Church was or
ganized in September, 1904, by Rev.
A. M. Hardness, who was at that time
the pastor in charge. In October 1903,
Rev. A. P. Morrison, D. D., superin-
tendent Of the Mission, visited Estancia,
and finding no other available place,
utilized the News building mot yet
completely for services and preached
to an audience consisting of two ladies
and thirty-eight men. No funds from
the Missionary Society being available,
no pastor could be sent. In July, Rev.
Harkness took pity on the Estancians
and voluntarily came every second
Sabbath and preached in the school
house to good audiences. Just before
conference he organized the First
Methodist Episcopal Churh Of Estancia.
The conference appointed Mr.. Hardness
pastor for Estancia and Santa Rosa,
stationing him at the latter place. At
once steps were taken toward securing
. building. Funds were solicited and
lots were secured from the New Mexico
Fuel & Iron Company, owners of the
toWnsite Of Estancia. The larger per
cent of the funds was solicited and sub
scribed during the pastorate of Mr..
Hardness.
The conference of 1905 created the
Estancia Circuit, placing Rev. J. G.
Ruof in charge. Mr.. Ruoff accepted
the charge only on the condition that
he be allowed to work at his trade a
portion of the time to augment the sal
airy, which was none too large. The
foundation of the building was laid, Mr.
Ruoff doing most of the work himself
The cornerstone was laid on Dec. 5, 1905.
The board of trustees made application
to the Board of Church Extension OF
the M. E. Church for a dona ton, but
not being able to obtain clear title tc
the lots, were destined to wait until the
fall Of 1906. B ds were called for, anc
