DESTROYED an Old Landmark

Of course, said the myth makers the padres must
~ have accumulated great treasure and of course
they must have buried it securely before the blow
fell So men travelled from far and near to dig for
the buried treasure of Pecos, burrowing like rats
beneath the massive walls of the great church,
cutting away the heavy timbers and destroying the
most imposing landmark that used to cheer the bull
team freighters over the Santa Fe Trail as they
neared the end of their long journey Even now,
great red ruin lust east of the Gloreta Mountains
evokes the tribute of wonder and admiration for the
builders of old from every traveller over the Santa
Fe railroad who catches glimpse OF the crumbl1ng
pile from the windows.
Of course the padres of Pecos had no treasure

and other fierce tribes of the eastern plains. Owing
to this cause and to the ravages of the great sick
ness" which depopulated many tribes of the
Southwest seventy years ago, Pecos became ex-
tnct in 1870, the pitful handful of survivors
deserving the home in which their ancestors had
lived for centuries, and moving sixty miles west
to Jemez.
No sooner had Pecos been deserted than the myth
makers began to get busy 1t recalled that on
the red tenth of August, 1850, the Pueblo Indians
of New Mexico had risen in revolt, massacred all
the Spaniards on whom they could lay hands, in

church that was once one of

Destroying Pueblo Landmarks

L there are many hundreds
of ruins of long forgotten Pue-
bio Indian communities, some
abandoned in historic times,
and others of immemorial an
tiquity. Almost every one of
these has its treasure myth,
some only of local circulation,
and others widely current. 1t
is forgotten by the myth
makers and by the myth
chasers that the Pueblo In
dams were entirely ignorant
of metals until after the adj
vent of the Spaniards. After
that, they had no opportunity
to accumulate anything but
experience. Nevertheless,
every ancient wall and crum-
bling pile has been ransacked
and explored" with pick,
shovel, and dynamite. Even
the cliff dwellings have been
ravaged by ignorant vandals,
and the Stone Lions of Cochiti
blown up in the ruthless
search for imaginary gold.
OF course this wanton de-
struction of venerable monu-
ments has not been absolutely
without compensations. Not
one grain of hidden gold has
ever been found; but indi-
rectly the search has resulted
in the discovery of mines of
gold, silver, copper, coal, and

cision of the United States district
court in the case involving the
validity of the poll tax amendment
to the state constitution. Judge
Trieber held in the case that the
amendment was not legally adopted
because it had not received a
majority of all the votes cast at the
election for governor and other state
officers. This fault has been
remedied, however, as the amend
ment was submitted by the last
legislature and voted upon at the
election held last month, when it
received majority of all the votes
cast at the election. Until the
amendment is declared adopted by
the speaker of the next house of
representatives the federal authori-
ties will insist that poll tax receipt
will not be necessary in the coming

says he is preparing to begin his
campaign in the district and is ready
to meet on the stumpany opposition
that may array itself against him.

dividing his time with him at all
his appointments.

1900 Republicans in the district,
which is composed of the counties
of Stone, Sharp, Randolph, Law

Are Microbes
in Your Scalp
Many Explanations OF Badness Have Been
Advanced. The Most Correct Is
That OF MlCrO.eS.

The term "microbe" refers to
parasitic plant or fungi also called
bacteria. A microbe is so small
that it can only be detected by the
aid of a microscope. Some microbes
are harmless, while others produce
various diseases, and derive their
titles through the form of their
growth or because of the diseases
they create, which diseases are in
fectious or contagious.
Prof. Unna of Hamburg, Germa-
ny, and DR.. Sabourand, the leading
dermatologist of France, discovered
that microbe caused badness, and
their theory has time and again
been amply verified through research
experiments carried on through the
observation of eminent scientists.
This microbe lodges in the Sebum,
which is the natural hair oil, and if
permitted to flourish, it destroys
the hair follicies, and in time the
pores entirely close and the scalp
gradually takes on a shiny appear
ance. When this happens there is
no hope of the hair growth being
revived
Dandruff is contagious disease
which a micrObe causes, and later
produces itching scalp, falling HAIR
and badness. Dandruff'is caused
by the microbe diseasing the sebace-
Gus matter, which dries up and
scales off. Sometimes the cuticle
surrounding the hair allows the
natural oil of the hair to force its
way between the fakes of scarf skin
direct to the hair, and the microbe
being between the flakes force them
apart and they scale off as dandrutf.
We have a remedy which posi-
tivelv will remove dandruff, exter-
inmate the microbe, promote good
circulation IN the scalp, tighten and
revitalize the hair roots, grow hair
and cure badness. We back up
this statement on our own personal
guarantee that this remedy, which
is called Rexall "93" Hair Tonic,
will be supplied free of all cost to
the user if it fails to do as we

and faded hair to its original rich,
glossy color, if loss of color has
been caused by disease, yet it is In

Tonic accomplishes these results by

tive, and by stimulating a natural

Because you have contracted or

them without treatment of any kind,
do not for moment imagine that
colds are not dangerous. Everyone
knows that pneumonia and chronic

caused by cold but the cold pre-
pares the system for the reception
and development of the germs that
would not otherwise have found
lodgment. 1t is the same with all
infectious diseases. Diphtheria,
scarlet fever, measles and whooping
cough are much more likely to be
contracted when the child has
cold. You will see from this that
more real danger turks in cold
than in any other of the common

THE MANAGEMENT OF
ALFALFA In THE FIELD
After Getting Good Stand
fuIIy-By A. NJ. TenEyck, Asronomist

A good stand of alfalfa is a variable
quantity as regards the number of
plants required per unit area. In a
newly-seeded field. where plenty of
seed has been sown and the conditions
have been favorable to start the young
plants, as many as 100 plants per
square foot have been counted. AS
few as ten strong young plants per
square foot, fairly evenly distributed,
may be considered fair stand-thick
enough TO leave. 1t is questionable
whether a very thick stand is as good
as thin or medium stand. Those
who advocate sowing a small amount
OF seed claim that the thinner sown
alfalfa starts stronger and will be
more productive and remain good
stand longer than that which is sown
thicker. One advantage perhaps of the
thicker seeding on fertile land is the
less coarse growth of stem, which pro-
duces a finer quality of hay than the
larger, coarser growth resulting from
thin seeding
Alfalfa plants gradually die out, so
that a very thick stand may show a
much smaller number Of plants per
unit area two or three years after
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1908-11-20

attempt to thicken up a thin stand OF
alfalfa on an old field, since the
younger plants, even If they can be
started, will hardly survive the season
in competition with the old, wellestab
lished plants. The old field which has
become weedy or full of grass had
best be broken and rotated with corn
or other crops for year or so before
reseeding. In fact, the preferable plan
is to seed down other fields, using the
alfalfa in rotation with corn and other
crops, rather than attempt to keep the
same fields in alfalfa continuously.
In the opinion OF the writer three
fourths of the failures to grow alfalfa
successfully have been due to lack OF
soil cultivation and to wrong methods
Of preparing the seed-bed and sowing
the alfalfa. The cultivation of alfalfa
after the plants are well established
may also benefit the crop.
1t pays to cultivate alfalfa just as it
pays to cultivate corn and other crops.
The next season after seeding, heavy
straight-tooth harrow may be used in
the spring to loosen the surface soil
and, as soon as the alfalfa has become
we'll established, the field may be
