CHEER UP, FARMERS

heavy rain fall in June there seems to
be every prospect Of a fine crop
throughout the county. OF course.
there is large acreage in the county
that is so low as to make it impossible
to work this year, but where the seed
is sown the grain is up and doing fine
ly. The grain has good root and
if We get any warm weather there
will be a rapid growth.
The report that the wheat fields of
this section are being attacked by
green bugs" proves to be without
foundation. General Agent Johnson
of the North Western, crop expert,
has been In the state the past week
investigating the crop situation. and
he says the so-called "greenbug" are
nothing more than the native aphis,
which appears in numbers each year
and are not damaging to the crops.

CELLARS CAVE IN

One section of the stone foundation
under the house on Eigth street oc-
cupied by Mrs. l.. L. Sarvis. caved in
during the heavy rain of last week
There had been water in the cellar
for some time and the cellar bank
supporting the foundation had become
so saturated with moisture that it
crumbled away, letting the founda.
ton wall drop. The remaining walls
are holding the house In plumb, and
a concrete foundation will be built
from the bottom of the cellar up. The
wet cellar proposition is getting to be
serious one in this city, and unless
relief in the way of hot dry weather
comes soon property owners will be
in bad way. A large number of
other foundations around town. which
are built on cellar walls, are In a
pretty shaky condition and more wet
weather would bring on series Of

Chew What You Know About and
Know What You Are CHEWING {

There is real pleasure in chewing
the best tobacco grown-where the
best tobacco grows-in the famous
Piedmont Country.
Only choice selections of this
well-matured and thoroughly cured
tobacco is used in making
SCHNAPPS. That's why SCHNAPPS
and others Of the Reynolds brands,
as shown by the Internal Fc-cnue
statistics for a fiscal year, made the
wonderful growth Of six and one
quarter million pounds, or a net
gain Of one-third of the entire
increased consumption of chewing
and smoking tobaccos in the United
States.
Evidently, chewcrs cannot resist
the flavor and they cheer SCHNAPPS
because SCHNAPFS cheers them
more than any other chewing to-
bacco, and every man that chews

A FELLOR FEELING FOR
THE NEW MEXICO CRATER
Albuoueroue .JOurnal.

Albuquerque Journal.
The following paragraph which we
copy from the New York Evening Post
would seem to show that the New
York CRATER is in a position which
ought to enable him to have a fellow
feeling for his New Mexico compadre.
Says the Post: Governor Hughes
housekeeping goes steadily forward.
For years there have been
lot wholly unfounded-that the ad-
ministration at Albany was slack and
incapable; hat in nearly all the of
fees there were pickings and steal
ilgs for good republicans. Nothing
important was M under Odell, who,
bred in the old robust school of poll
itics had the courage. but not the de
sire to institute reforms. Nothing was
done under Higgins, who had the de-
sire but not the courage. Governor
Hughes has both, and as a conse-
quence the cheap politicians and the
grafters are quaking in their shoes"
The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1907-04-03

trayed a sacred trust. This is the ac-
cepted standard of righteousness in
society, and the cardinal tenet of ev-
cry calling in life-except in poll
tics.
For the average man will allow the
trickster, the crook and the bribe-tak-
er to dictate the candidates for his
suffrage, and shape the issues of pub
lie policy for mis- government. He will
be guided il his judgment of men
and measures by leaders" whose
opinion would not weigh an ounce
with him in any business transaction
or touching any ethical problem of
the social world.
Honesty, fair play and the square
deal are demanded everywhere except
in politics. and the anomalous condi-
ton has been brought about because
the people have not cen honest with
themselves il a political way. The
remedy is simple, and the power to
reform politics is entirely in the
hands of the people. A few rebukes
in the a of defeat for the party
re~sponsibles for corrupt men would
have the desired effect, and would
accomplish more than ten thousand
grand juries could bring about.
1t is only needed that the people
get back to the first principle of
representative government and place
representative men in power
