ration Papers.

R. P. Ervien, commissioner of public
lands, is receiving inquiries from in
terested parties in Chicago and at 9th
er points, regarding Territorial lands
in the vicinity Of Tularosa Otero coun-
ty, alleged to have been sold by the
Territory to promoter in large tracts
of over 100000 acres; while others say
that the Territory has given an option
ON such large tracts. Although appli-
cations for such tracts have been re-
:ceived, the Territory has given no op-
tion nor has it sold such large areas,
as under the present law it is not au-
thorized to do this. Evidently, this is
another one of the schemes to part the
unsophisticated homeseeker from his
,coin upon Misrepresentation. The De-
partment of the Interior will be asked
to look further into the gigantic land
projects, which are bound to bring
New Mexico into disrepute unless they
are nipped before innocent purchasers
part with their money.

Two homing pigeons stopped to
rest at !. L. Ovens home and lit on
his porch? Not being like his and
not wanting a mixture or his pig

gun and killed them.
When he picked them up he was

and they had stamped Oh them

And on the other was q brass band
engraved on the inside 1903 and

The aluminium bands or brace

show where they were joined and
the stamping of letter and numbers
were from the inside and raised on

Lab els Mere Misleading

Hartford, Feb. 19-The first case in this state to be brought under the na- tionaI pure food Jaw came up in Hart ford last week, says the Courant, United State District Attorney John T. Robin son being the complainant. The New England Food Go. of South Norwalk is concerned and Sept. 10, 1907, IS the date of the alleged specific violatlon. On that date the company is accused of having shipped to Boston packages with labels declaring that the food therein helped digestion and was concentrated food. On strength of report. from the United States secretary of agriculture MT. Robinson declares these labels are false and misleading, as the articles con- tained in the packages do not have such properties.

The fur pieces that are badly soiled can be cleaned by heating salt and cornmeal in a dishpan until it is warm to the touch. rubbing this through the fur When brushed out the pieces will be free from dust. If the boa lin i'::~ :: greasy rub the satin part with a .' t,iHpcd in any liquid cleaner.

How to Keep the Neck Pretty.

To keep the neck pretty one should be very particular about her collars, for tight collars bring on endless ills from a beauty standpoint and a dark line very difficult to remove, to say nothing of the headaches and flushed faces. To remove the dark collar line about the throat apply peroxide of hy- drogen with a bit of absorbent cotton. Dab 1t on at night after thoroughly washing the neck. Leave 1t on all night, then wash off in the morning. Repeat this treatment until the stain disappears. Another way to get rid of the unsightly collar line is to rub cold cream we'll into the throat and allow it to stay on ali night. Tn the morning bathe with hot water and use good SOaD

POT GROWN BULBS.
How They Can Be Cultivated Easily
 In Houses.

In Houses.
 More women would grow flowers in the house If there was not m errone- ous impression that it required too much skill and an abundance of time.
 There are, perhaps, certain kinds of ] flowers. such cs roses and carnations, which do not respond well to the effort of the amateur, but bulbs rarely fail. Their culture is simple in the extreme "a good potting soil containing plenty of sharp sand, a long period of seclu- sion in the dark to make root growth and gradual bringing to the light. 1t is at this period that most women are at a loss as to the proper care of plants. They cannot fail if they remem- Der these few pointers on pot grown bulbs:
 The best temperature for root growth is 10 degrees, for leaves and stems 50 | degrees and for the best bloom GO de grees. The ordinary living room is too hot for successful bulb growing. The cooler the room the longer the flowers last ard the larger they are.
 Bringing the potted bulb directly [ from the dark into the hot living room is the cause of short stems and stunted foliage.
 Do not have too strong a light when the bulbs are first brought in from the dark. A shelf away from the window where the temperature is about 30 de grees is best until the flower buds be- gin to show.
 Bulbs should never be kept in a tenn perature of 70 degrees unless they are to be quickly forced.
 It pays to buy high grade of bulbs if you would not be disappointed in re- suits.
 If the soil in the yard is too heavy for potting it can be frightened by mix ing sand with 1t. Never bring manure fin contact with bulbs. It is fatal to them.
 To tell whether a pot is filled with roots turn it upside down, tap the edge gently, and the ball of earth will come ont in the hand.

THE LAW ON PlCKEREL.
No Reason Why They Should be Pro-
 tected.

tected.
 An amendment has been offered for an alteration of the law protecting pick erel, says the Courant. Nobody has yet turned up to tell just why pickerel are protected. It would be as sensible to protect dogfish or sharks in the Sound or star-fish among the oysters. They are simply destroysrs. If the Legislative would wipe the whole pickerel- -proteo- ton off the statute books, it would do fish and fishermen benefit.
 The law, as it now stands, fOrbids keeping any pickerel less than twelve inches long (if accidentally caught it must be restored to the water at ,onoe) and forblds owners of private ponds from removing pickerel from those waters ex- cept for purposes of propagation to other ponds. In other words, a man who has choice trout pond, stocked perhaps at considerable expense and protected at more expense, discovers that piekerel have began to develop there, and then finds he cannot get them out The nat
 
 if he discovers weeds, is to root them up and throw them aside. When he finds dogs among his sheep, he gets after the dogs. When he finds hawk after his chickens he gets his gun. But when he finds pickerel getting fat on his trout. all he can do is to remember that the law protects them and he must let them alone.
 As we understand it, the amendment provides for a change in the law that will authorize man interested in trout or other edible fish, to clean piokerel out of his pond and not be lined $25 fish for every one of the plagnes he tries to kill. There ought to be bounty on piekerel, but probably it is asking too much to expect at present.

THE EDITORS TRIALS
The Millerton Telegram Man and his
 Experiences.

The Millerton Telegram Man and his
 Experiences.
 Editor Loope of the Millerton Tele- gram is evidently learning a thing or two about human nature that he didn' t suppose existed before he entered the newspaper business. He is finding that there are many persons who will not pay their subscriptions if they can help it, that they will take from the office week after week, papers directed to other people and when a bill Is received, calmly inform the publisher that the party to whom the paper is addressed "'has been dead five years" There are many varieties of dishonesty with which the country newspaper man has to con- tend and the above is hardly aibeginning. Editor Loope says:
 "tSome months ago we sent a state ment, addressed as we were addressing the paper every week, to one who ap- peared to be behind about five years. In 8 few days the statement came back with this written across the face "Been dead five years" 1t occurred to us that we might have been notified before, either by the postmaster, the deceased or the party who now gets his mail So we wrote "'Why didn't you say SO? on the bill and sent 1t out addressed as be- fore. It hasn't come back, and the silence of the grave remains unbroken as previously.
 We have no objection to sending the paper to anyone, dead or alive. who wants it, but we expect to be paid, in U- S. money. and whoever gets it will pay for it, inside of five years"
