ALFALFA GROWERS FORM
TEMPORARY ORGANlZATIC

Forty growers of alfalfa, all living
in the vicinity of Roswell, met at
four O'Clock Saturday afternoon in
the rooms of the Roswell Commercial
Club and formed a temporary organ
ization, hooking forward to a more
permanent one, the object of which
is to secure a more uniform and ac-
curate means of weighing. inspecting
and shipping alfalfa out of the Pecos
Valley. that better prices may be Sc
cured. Hagerman and the other towns
1own the valley are already organ
zed and it is hoped to get the Whole
valley so organized that all may
work in harmony, rather than at
cross purposes, as in the past. By
he new organization, the Texas buy
ars will know exactly what they are
getting, and better prices can be Sc
cured.
In the temporary organization Sat
lrday Walter Chisum was named as
president, Robert Beers, vice presi-
lent and c. C. Tannehill secretary.
The growers will meet at the Club
lext Saturday afternoon at 2:30 to
fleet permanent organization.

CAPT. HESTER HAS BABY

A good story was published in the
Dallas News recently on Capt. Hes
ter, former instructor in athletics at
the Military Institute and base ball
pitcher. He was riding between two
Texas towns when a woman came in,
sat down beside him and, after en-
@aging him in conversation, asked
him to hold her baby while she went
out a minute. She forgot to re-
turn, and in the basket she also left
was full outfit of baby clothes and
note telling the finder to be good

Houston, and after the joke on him
had worn off the team considered
keeping the baby at some orphan asy-
lum as mascot. But finally they de-
cided to turn it over to the authori-
ties, who telegraphed back to the
station where the woman had left the
train and had her arrested for child
abandonment.

initely as his life's vocation. The
young man of the present day frets
because he is required to spend eight
short years within scholastic walls
and when he steps forth from the por-
tails of his institution he knows far
more than he does twenty years there
after. The young men of the present
day are not called upon to lay found
dations. All institutions worthy of ex-
listence were established in the pre-
historic ages, in fact, by the first fam
ily created. These stand for all fut-
ure generations. First we do not have
to lay foundations for domestic life.
Any man who has attempted it or in
terfered in any manner with the ex-
listing principles of domestic life has
upon to lay foundations for govern
ment or state. These were laid by the
first people establishing any form of
government, and the principles gov
erning their construction were exis-
tant in the first born species Of hui
manity.
We are not called upon to lay foun-
dations for education. We find them
in the classics of all ages. Indeed
they We're laid back in the revela-
tions of God to man.
Nor are we called upon to lay foun-
dations for new social fabric. Tle
principles of social purity and broth
erly love were laid at the fireside of
the first family.
There are some things we must
not do. We must not attempt to tear
down by criticism or disregard the
existing foundations, state, governmen
tai or social They are not ours to
undermine, but to upbuild. They
should form our most sacred trust.
They make our country what it is.
There are many things we may and
should do. All young men are build
ers of their own characters and for
tunes. You are only ibegin1ing to
build your characters. In selecting
the materials for construction select
the best materials.
l. Read the best books and above
all read that best of the best books,
the Bible. Its histories are true and
it's decisions are immutable. 1t should
fill the memory, rule the heart and
guide the feet.

4. We must make every effort to
become upright and excellent citi-

We are the state.
5. Never do anything which may

life; a slight circumstance or mis-
step. the nol-performance of duty or
the neglect of opportunity or the in

destiny of life.
AT this period, my friends, there
is a parting of the ways; no longer
will you have parents, teachers and

been ideal. a picture, a fond dream.
The scene changes. Hope, duty, op-

ThaW and His Wife.

New York, Feb. 19.-Renewed 10 ap-

has been attracted by the repeated
rumors that proceedings to bring about
the legal separation of Harry K. Thaw
and his wife, formerly Evelyn NeSbit,
artist model and chorus girl, who was
the cause of Stanford Whites death at
Thaw's hands, are imminent. Whether
the separation will be sought by annul-
ment or divorce is q subject on which
reports disagree, but the frequency OF
the rumors Of an arrangement has caused
almost general acceptance of them.
Mrs. William Thaw 10 an interview
published today is quoted as say ing she
has told Harry he must divorce Evelyn.
"Up to row Harry has refused to listen
to the counsel / have given him." the
interview continues. Until he does he
must bear the snnoyances. | am very
sorry for my poor boy. He is brave,
but oh, so very foolish. However, |
have decided not to give Harry any
more advice in his domestic affairs. 1t
is probably best to let those interested
settle their own affairs"

A note was sent to Harry X. Thaw in
the Matteswan Asylum asking him If
.he story revived with such insistence in
New York that he will seek divorce
from bis wife was true. The note came
back with the single word "No" printed
on it 30 plainly that the denial was
emphatic.
