Club would not take any active

Messrs. Brown and Klein of Chica-

cipients of many congratulations
last night over the success of the
performance, as were the perform

naturally disposition to be lenient
in criticism of amatuer work, the
playing last night aroused real en-
thusiasm on the part of the repre-
sentative Albuquerque audience

Fruit Prespees Non Eat.

According to all reports the fruit
prospect in Otero county was showed
under with vengeance during the
past week. Repeated doses of cold

season. for the past dozen years. the
fruit prospect has been knocked gal
ley west. but it has always happened
that some of it managed to pull
through. and this year will probably
be like preceding ears not so bad
as painted. Every season there
comes killing frost and nips Jack
Crowley's fruit crop. He always
suffers loss of from $40, 900 to Sl5,,
600. but annually turns up late in the
fall with barrels and boxes of apples
for sale at stated price, and the
quantity is usually unlimited.
E. N. Berry. who has one of the
finest peach orchards in Otero coun-
ty, three miles west of La Junta, is
unable as yet to estimate his loss,
but it will probably be considerable.
He buries his peach orchard every
winter. and was fortunate in the
fact that it had not been entirely
uncovered previoGs to the present
cold snap. Most of the dirt had
been removed. but the trees still
had covering of straw, which af-
forded some protection. and Mr..
Berry counts on having some kind
of peach crop. although it may be
limited as to quantity. The scarcity

due to the inrxacr1tudes of ancient
land surveying, which was compare
lively OF sucn a free end easy descrip-
ton that the acres of neighboring coun-

A book published in the reign of Ed.

naive instructions on the subject:
..Stand at the door of a church on Sun
day and bid sixteen men to stop, tall
ones and small ones, as they happen
to pass out Then make them put their
left feet one behind the other, and the
length thus obtained shall be a right

with, and the sixteenth part of it shall

This is almost laugha BILE. but we have
only to apply to one of the older die
tionaries to find that anything like ex-
actness, whether of definition or of
fact is quite a modern scientific de.
velopment. And the story of the acre
is a case in point. 1t was supposed to
have been reduced to a common stand
ard in 1905, but it was not until 1921
that we enacted the statute acre of
4, $40 square yards.
With the loose system of measure
ment prevailing for the greater part of
that long interval, it is not surprising
that the so called acre" was too often
what the local wiseacres happened to
make of it. By long use and wont it
seems probable that the discrepancies
thus arising occasionally crystallized
into customs, of which some examples
still survive. A Welsh acre was for.
merly twice as large as an English one
while Scottish acre is larger than
ours by more than 1000 square yards.
According to authority, there are
seven different measures still in use
by which the acre may be variousiy
defined. Lancashire has within her
borders acres measured on a custom
airy local scale, while the SO called
Cheshire acre is even larger than that
