The Price Of tho Drinks.

Bent Murdoch of Kansas has
figured out that the man who
drinks three ten-cent glasses Of
whiskey a day for a year spends
enough for booze to buy three
barrels of flour, twenty bushels
of potatoes, two hundred pounds
granulated sugar, one barrel OF
crackers, one pound of pepper,
two pounds tea, fifty pounds OF
salt, fifty pounds rice, fifty
pounds butter, ten pounds OF
cheese, twenty five pounds coffee
ten pounds candy, three dozen
cans tomatoes, ten dozen pickles
ten dozen oranges, ten dozen
bananas, two dozen cans corn,
eighteen boxes matches, half a
bushel of beans, ten cakes OF
soap, one case of rolled oats and
still have $3.50 left to give his
wife for a new dress. This is a
pretty good temperance lecture
but the figures would not hold

Col. HopeweII Potato Fanoler.

Col. w. S. Hopewell marched
proudly into Albuquerque last
night, bearing in both arms a
huge sack.
Potatoes said the Colonel,
just potatoes. There are five
of them in that sack and they
are as heavy as a yearlin' calf.
Talk about drouth and want in
the Estancia valley when they
can grow stuff like this?"
Col. Hopewell displayed the
prize potatoes to a group of
friends and then donated them
to the reporter standing near
who, he said, looked more like a
starving man than anyone he
had seen in the Estancia valley.
Take EN- home" said Colonel
Hopewell and live on EN- all
winter.
The potatoes, which were
grown on the ranch of w. w.
Norman, west of Estancia, are
probably the finest ever brought
to Albuquerque, and prove CON
clusively that the Estancia val
ley under proper cultivation can
be made to rival Greeley as a
potato producing district. Al

The Bean Bug.

In a third article Of a serial on
the bean bug, the Taos Valley
News announces a remedy for
the pestiferous visitor that is
cheap and worth while trying,
especially around Santa Fe
where lime may be had for the
hauling from the hills, for around
Santa Fe there are mountains of
almost pure lime. Says the News
There is no need of any one
from Washington coming out
here, inasmuch as three miles
frem Taos is an abundance of
simple and sure eradicator. 1t
is just plain lime, fresh or air
Stacked, used in powdered or
liquid form. 1t has been tried
here and with complete success,
as no bug enjoys dining on lime,
nor can they live in it. The
method is to sprinkle the lime
over the plants, and on the
ground about them in a very
thorough manner. There is no
danger of using too much. Try
this on troublesome insects, and
in the spring get a good supply |
of lime and invite the bug king
dom to a banquet. After the
feast they will go to some other
PLACE where they do not serve
line sauce on vegetables. In
(: .dSftion to being a fine bug de-
stroyer there is no better ferti-
lizer than lime, so a copious use
of it can do no harm. Fortu-
nately we have at our door an
abundant supply of high grade
lime"

How About 1t, Farmers?

The News is quite anxious tc
know that a display of farm ano
vegetable products from the Els
tancia Valley will be on exhibi-
ton at Albuquerque during the
| Territorial Fair next month, as
has been the anndal custom
since the first settlers came to
the valley. And we are just as
anxious that this display shall be
1.-THE very best possible collection,
in order that our valley and
farmers will receive their proper
dues and credit, besides the
cash premiums, which have come
to the valley each time an exhibit
has been made.
We do not want to play the
goat and "butt in,'' but we
suggest that the farmers get to-
gether, organize an association
Of some kind and arrange to take
to albuquerque the best exhibit
ever shown from the Valley.
The farmers can do it, the crop
are growing in fine shape and
will be ready to win prizes, and
we want to see the thing done
and done right. The farmers
do the work to raise the crops,
why not also take it over, dis
play it, and get, the proper credit?
The expense of taking the col
lection over need not be great,
and il fplaced in competent hands
there, the premium money will
far more than pay any and all
necessary expenses connected
herewith, besides leaving a
handsome sum for the farmers
themselves. The News is ready
to nelp in any way possible, to
get a good exhibit to the Fair,
and wants the farmers, who
have earned it, to have proper
credit.

selves, one having been the
mount Of the famous chief Ge-
ronimo, and the other the horse
ridden by Roosevelt on his hunt
in Oklahoma q few years ago.
When asked in regard to fin
ances and whether they had be-

elder answered, "Oh, yes, we
occasionally need funds,' and in
answer to how they replenished

DEED OF CRAZY MAN
Kills Himself After Shooting wife,
Who Soon Becomes a Mother

West Bridgewater, Mass. Aug. %.
While insane, it is believed, as the
result of sickness, Mariana Janeiro,
30 years old, seized a revolver and
after dragging his wife from the
kitchen to the top Of the house,
kissed her goodby while she struggled
to get away and then fired a bullet
into her head. Then the man placed
the revolver to his own head just as
his three children rushed up at the
sound of the first shot.
Putting down his weapon he kissed
them, put them out of the room,
locked the door and then blew out his
brains. Neighbors were called to the
house by the children and the woman
was rushed to the Brockton city hos
pital, where in a short time she gave
birth to a girl. The infant and wound
ed mother are expected to live.

MAYOR SIDES WITH
SALOON ELEMENT
Defies State Order For Sunday
Closing at Atlantic City

Atlantic City, N. j., Aug. 24.-In-
terest in the reform movement in this
city was intensified when Mayor Stoy
officially refused to receive a notice
from Attorney General Wilson order
ing him to close Atlantic City saloons
on Sunday.
The mayor declared that he knew
the contents of the notice, which gives
the names and addresses of thirty
eight saloon and hotel proprietors who
are alleged to have sold liquor on
Sundays, and he refused to accept
service even after the contents OF the
paper and the signature of the at
torney general had been read to him.
Under the state law the refusal to
act within ten days on an order issued
by the attorney general makes a city
official liable to indictment for mis-
demeanor. Reform lawyers claim that
the open refusal of the mayor to re-
ceive a document signed by the at
torney general also lays him open to
charges of contempt of state courts.
Stoy refuses to discuss the matter. II

Rheims, Aug. 22.-When Mr.. Cur
tiss was informed that the Wright
brothers had brought suit against the
Aeronautic society of New York, al
leging that the Curtiss aeroplane in
fringes certain of their patents, he
said he had known for some time that
something of this nature was con-
templated, but he failed to see how
it would result In anything but lot
of litigation. -.-----,----.,...
There is nothing to support the
charge of infringement" Curtiss de-
clared. THE best answer to this is
the fact that we made public flights
in America long before the Wrights
did. This shows that there could not
have been an imitation of their ma
chine by US.
All competent persons who are
familiar with the two machines agree
that they are unable to see how the
charge of infringement can be sup
ported, and l am confident that the
court will uphold me-"
