Stockmen Learn Lesson That
Growing Of Feed Crops Must
Have Greater Attention if
Cattle Business Is Success,

That it has not rained a good all
around rain for twelve months in the
Pecos valley is the statement made by
A. NJ. Hove. writing to the Farmers
and Drovers' journal of Kansas city.

dry for the grass to make a start. In

II understand that certain mem

to raise more objections to the admis-
sion of New Mexico and Arizona at

real motive back of the objections
will be hat those members who are
opposed to the income tax are afraid
that both Arizona and New Mexico
win be in favor of it, and their legis-
latures would vote for the constitu-
tional amendment providing for the

While no merchantin all this city would entertain the thought
of so unbusineSslike action as dispensing With his selling

When il is considered that a merchants newspaper advertising
is the only way many purchasers have of knowing what is Of

The logic that would influence a merchant to cease advertiS-

were not always up TO the highest point.
