TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

In another place in this paper
will be found an order from the
postofiice department to the effect
that newspaper publishers will be
allowed to carry a subscriber only
one year after his subscription
has expired. and have the bene-
fits of the second class mail priv
ileges. This order is effective
now, and we hope it will not be
necessary for us to cut very many
from our list. The postoilice de-
partment does not deny the right
of a publisher to extend credit,
but il denies him the right of the
mails at second class rates after a
subscription is in arrears more
than one year. After that time
if a publisher wishes to extend
credit further he must afliX one
cent stamp to the paper which
goes to the subscriber. Of course
this makes it prohibitive. No
publisher can afford to do this.
This should be notice enough
to our delinquent subscribers as
to what is expected of them. We
shall at once get our subscription
list in shape to stand the inspec-
tion which will surely be made,
and if it is necessary we shall cut
from the list all who are dead
weight. We are pleased to state
that most of our local subscribers
will not be affected by the order,
but several distant places will
miss the paper.

Ever since the pure food law
went into operation the grocers,
butchers and other dealers who
are affected, have been-looking
for a chance to get at the far
mers. They have found it. If a
farmer sells a grocer a fresh"
egg which happens to be AN
cient," the farmer has committed
an offense under the pure food
law and is liable to prosecution.
In order to have recourse the
grocer does not have to throw the
hen fruit at the farmer. All he
has to do is to notify the State
Board of Health. This applies
to the farmer, the grocer or the
common plug citizen. If you be-
long to the latter class you don't
have to take ancient eggs. If it
develops after you have made the
purchase that your eggs should
have been cooked six months
earlier in order to be palatable,
Just notify the grocer and he will
be only too glad to remedy mat
tiers,
The warrant for this statement
is the following letter written by
|Dr. Crumbine of the State Board
of Health to an Ottawa grocer
who had been receiving large col
|lections of bad eggs from his far
mer producers. The letter reads;

Farmers Must Observe
Pure Food Law.

State of Kansas, Department
of the State Board of Health.
Dec. 26, 19O7.-Replying to your
letter of the 23rd, have to say
that the food and drug law ap-
plies to any one who sells any
food products whatsoever, the
farmer as well as the grocer, the
manufacturer as we'll as the
dealer.
"This law essentially requires
that all products be sold true to
name, that fraud, deception or
misleading statements be prohib-
tied, and that only wholesome
aud undeteriorated foods and
drugs be sold or offered for sale.
A farmer has no more right to
offer rotten. egg for sale than
butcher has to sell a pound OF
tainted meat. Neither has a pro-
ducer of eggs any more right to
offer a cold storage egg for a
fresh egg than a manufacturer OF
distilled vinegar has to sell such
vinegar for pure apple cider vim
egar. In either instance, there
is the element of fraud and de-
ception, which is absolutely pro-
hibited by the food and drug law
above referred to.
Very truly yours,
S. J. CRuMBINE, M. D.,
''Chief Food and Drug Inspector. :"

capillary tubes which work night
and day and if not quickly
broken up will soon waste, in
the atmosphere, not only all the
water given in the irrigation,
but also most of that previously
held in the soil below. 1t is
claimed that sometimes 20 per
cent of the water applied and
retained by the soil is lost in
only ten days, if the land is not
cultivated,an within two weeks
the soil and crop will be in worse
condition than if no irrigation
had been given. Often then the
farmer claims his crop has been
damaged by alkali, when it is
actually suffering from the COM
pacting of the soil and lack of
that moisture which he thinks
he has given it, and if alkali is
to blame it has been accumulat-
ed by his failure to break the
capillary tubes thoroughly, whose
action alone has the alkali been
accumulated in damaging guam

more than it can hold either
teaches out its fertility, or if its
drainage is poor, ruins it with
accumulations of alkali near or
upon the surface. The little
capillary tubes form from deep
down in the soil up to the sur
face and the water is drawn up
to the top as in a lump of sugar
and the winds and sun evaporate
it from the surface and it is lost
in the air. By blowing or har-
rowing these tubes are broken

moisture to run together again,
and if left undisturbed after
even light shower the capillary
tubes will soon reform to the
surface and begin to lump up
and waste the moisture.

land dries out so rapidly after

ALAMOG0RD0 GIRL
Is ASSAULTED

Tucumcari. N. NJ, Aug. "a
An unknown Mexican made an
assault upon Miss Edna Wallace
near Bascom, 10 miles northwest
of Tucumcari, Saturday. Miss
Wallace is the daughter of Il
prominent cement and concrete
contractor of Alamogordo, who is
doing some concrete work on the
Dawson line near Bascom.
She had been iii Tucumcari i'll
company with her brother, j. II.
Wallace, and when they arrived
at Bascom she remained to get
the mail and her brother went
on to the camp some distance up
the track. After getting the
mail Miss Wallace started walk
ing along the track for the camp,
two miles from the station. A
short distance from the station
she met a Mexican, who passed
on, and little further OH she
met another, who started to ap-
proach her. She started to run
and the Mexican followed her,
and she soon stumbled and fell.
The Mexican caught her before
she could get to her feet and at
tackled her desperately.
After a struggle of almost an
hour, during which the Mexican
bruised, bit and clawed the girl
numerically, a freight train
came along and the Mexican
took to flight, having failed to
accomplish his purpose. The
young woman was completely
exhausted and in pitiful CON
dition, but she managed to flag
the train with her bonnet. She
was placed on the train and
brought to Tucumcari and placed
under a physicians care.
The officers were notified and,
assisted by number of citizens,
are securing the country for the
Mexican. At latest reports her
assailant had not been appre-
hended.
One Mexican was brought in
Saturday afternoon and was
identified by Miss Wallace as
being the man she first passed
when she left Bascom.
If they get the right man and
the people get their hands on
him he will receive rough treat
ment, to say the least.-El Paso
Herald.
