Time Proves It

Mark Austin was down from Lincoln
Monday, and says the acreage contracted
for sugar beets in this district for 1907
exceeds that of 1906 about 50 per cent
There must be some reason for this with
the farmers themselves for when we
published couple of articles year ago
showing the advantages of the beet crop
and asking farmers to stand by the in
dustry another year, some of them rid
iculed US and asked how much the sugar
company paid us for publishing such
articles.
1t matters little to the public now,
who bore the expense of those publlca-
cations: the men who were induced by
them to plant their best beet land to
beets are the men who have lifted their
mortgages and been glad the articles
were published. We received our pay
from grateful subscribers who cashed
their beet checks last fall and paid for
their paper in advance because they had
learned that the paper is worth the price
and then some. We received our pay
again when we visited lot of the
country schools and saw children we'll
dressed and happy, and again at Christ

died on Wednesday afternoon at 4 clock.
He had been very low for week and
his death was expected at any time.
His affliction was an aggravated case
of constipation which resulted in a
complete suspension of all the functions
of the stomach and intestines, and then
of the organs of respiration and circu-
lation. Three years ago Mrs. Bird bur
led daughter, Mrs. Ellis, of Mackay,
who underwent an operation for SINH

Young Sells a Mine

w. O. Young went to Salt Lake week
ago to meet some investors and make a
sale of The Daisy Black from which he
has been shipping ore on Little Lost
River. j. T. Carruth and B. S. Rupp
we're also interested with Mr.. Young
and they went down Sunday night to
consult with Mr. Young before the deal
was closed.
The Daisy Black is situated atTCamp
Wilbert only a few miles from the line
of our proposed railroad from Cerro
Grande to Gilmore. The price to be
paid for the mine is $4,000, but un-
fortunately for local people the most
of the stock was held by eastern people
and Salt Lakers.
Mr.. Young says he met with consider
able evidence of mems attention being
directed to eastern Idaho, by the boost.
ing of the local paper, and this helped him
to get the ear of men who can handle
big projects if they want to.

mas time when we saw farmers and their
wives buying freely what they wanted
instead of counting their nickles over to
see how they could make them 60 round.
But there are other things we want to
see the farmers do to benefit themselves
and others, and those who read our
school edition next week will be given
some suggestions straight from the
shoulder which they may not feel like
paying us for, for two or three years,
but we are willing to wait Those who
read our canal edition of March %, may
not understand it's purpose when they
read it, and may not send out any copies
to homeseekers, but we are willing to
expend some money and hard work on it
and wait for results. Those who read
our stock edition of April 10, may say
we are simply grating when we invite
them to advertise their blooded stock
and poultry in it, but we are willing to
wait year or two and take the evidence
of those who begin now, and extend our
sympathy to those who do not think it
pays to put good money into good stock.

A Condition

A lady remarked the other day, "It's
shame the way people who come here
to settle are neglected. They should be
called upon and made to feel that they
are welcome" Quite right. 1t should
be done. But, isn't it fact that, if the
newcomers dress well and have the ap-
pearance of prosperity, people fall over
them selves in their endeavor to be there
first, while, If the opposite condition
prevails, the newcomer apparently in
moderate circumstances they have to
get "can opener" to obtain "look in"
to our modern "sassiety."

Morality at Home
(BY TRUX.

In what | have to say, do not mis-
understand my motive. | am not a
moralist in the sense in which the term
is generally used, and the short comings
of humanity are, know, well exempll-
fed in myself Yet there are times
when the Spirit of Rebellion mounts
high within me at some of the trans
gressions of the MORAL CODE which
| have witnessed.
The first great principle TO seek, If you
would better the world, is to become
acquainted with yourself. To look into
the Mirror of Selfrefection and study
the immage there. Study it well. See
if you are looking upon young man,
just entering what should be the field of
life's useful work, standing in the semi
darkness of an alleyway or doorway
drinking from beer or whiskey bottle
with young girl who has no idea of the
price she will be required to pay, of
Hells treasures, for this seeming slight
ndiscretion. Look beyond your refec-
ton and in the dreamy vision, picture
your own dear sister in a like position,
with some other young man, and then
ask: "Is this II"
My young friends, this is not vision
ary fancy that has caused me to write.
1t is more or less polite way of ex
planning what | have witnessed with my
own eyes on more than one occasion,
when dance or other public festival
was in progress, Certain boys and girls,
from the age of 16 years and up, drink
ing from bottles, which the young man
in question has purchased at the nearest
saloon, thinking no eyes were upon them
even forgetful of the eyes of their God.
The managers of our amusements are
not in the least to be blamed for this
condition; neither are the saloon men.
1t is hard to fix the responsibility,unless
we place it upon the lax methods with
which certain mothers teach and guard
their girls, combined with youthful
thoughtlessness. But it should be stop
ped and the only way l know of is to SCI
the young people thinking for and of
themselves.
Do you know that SelfSin is the only
sin in the world? That Self-Sin has
caused, is causing and will cause all the
crime, sorrow and unhappiness Of earth?
II no one had ever committed crime
against himself there would be no crime.
If a young man coaxes young woman
to drink he commits fourfold crime
against the young woman; himself; his
parents and sisters, and the world. And
the young lady, by acquiescing, not only
commits the same crimes, but also
lowers herself in the estimation of the
young man and anyone who may acci-
IDENTIFY see her or hear of the circum-
stances.
A false idea that obtains in the minds
of great many people is that the World
is generally bad, and that if they are as
good as their idea of the world, they are
all right.
Now, the fact is, this is a pretty good
world. It's chuck full of good people
This little town is full of them, and, if
you wish to verify my statement, just
begin now and try treating the World
right. The only way you can do this is
to treat yourself right, which cannot
be done by having to conceal your

Among all the flora in New Mex

scented here, this variety is the
most precious. While these nav
have been dollhouse plants for a
time, it is plain to be seen that they
have entirely out grown it and are

the Pajarita river two miles north
west OF the city. This is a popular

ing the sunshiny afternoons of the
summer while the mothers are
lounging in the shades along the
banks of the river.

Flora Of Wes0 NE x

THE fora OF New Mexico is abundant in variety and beauty. Rep
"A resentatives OF most of the best known botanical families are to be
found in the mountain canyons, along the streams, in moist glades and
in shady hooks. Here the lover OF flowers from the states may revel
from May to November in the companionship of old acquaintance
among the flowers, while he will find many new varieties and some en-
tirely unknown to him before.
Nowhere in the United States is there a place which excels our
mountains in the beauty and variety of its flora. 1t is along these
mountain streams that the Virginian Creeper and wild clematis weave

and classifying. Miss Josephine Skehan, a school teacher at Captain,
Lincoln county, a few years ago, made a collection OF over one hundred
and thirty species, which were classified by Prof. +. S. Earle, then
connected with the New York Botanical Gardens. The Opuntia, CON-
monty known as prickly-pear, grows with great vgor in most localities
of the foothills. Some of the largest varieties have leaves measuring
I4xI1 inches. One plant of this variety, (seen by the writer of this,
occupied a space equal to seven square feet and contained over a hun
dred blooms of the most delicate lemon yellow, each petal veined and
tipped with a touch of carmine. These flowers averaged twelve inches

ar often hundreds of blooms on one bush and it is equal to a rose tree
in beauty.
Another regal bloomer, and one that is often enormously classed
with Cacti, is the Yucca, or Spanish Dagger-Yucca meaning dagger,
or beyonet in Spanish. But this plant is not of the Cactus family. 1t
belongs to the Lilaceae. There are localities where the Yucca grows
to an averaged height Of six feet with its stem, including the dry pend.
ant leaves, twelve inches in diameter. The flowers grow in much
branched terminal panisles, around a stalk which often measures
three feet in length, and grows ut OF the center of the bunch OF long
dagger-ike leaves clustered al the top OF the stem. The flowers are of
a pure waxy wilderness inside, including stamens and pistn, while outside
they are often tinted with dark purplsh-red. They arr bell shaped
and pendulous. There are often a hundred or more in bloom on one
stalk and every one Of them a regal beauty.
To the lover of the wonderful, the beautiful and the strange in
nature, there is not a mountain side, hilIslope Or valley in New Mexico,
but that it is full of these features in the floral kingdom. Even the
sandy plain and every crannied rock has something new and STRANGE
and beautiful to offer. CONTRIBUTED
