Roswell. n. NJ, July THE war
department has just announced
through General riders No. 123, the
names of the military schools which
attained distinction during the school
Nvear Of 190S-1909, and the New Mexi-
go military institute, at Roswell, n.
n is the only school in the entire
west to receive special mention from
the department.
In the entire United States there
are over one hundred schools where
army Officers are detailed as profess
sors of military science and tactics,
and it is indeed gratifying to the peo-
pie of New Mexico to see the name
of its only military school appearing
ON the distinguished list. This rating
received from the war department
places the New Mexico military insti-
int pre-eminently alone as the best
military school in the great west. The
institute has only been in existence
eleven years and is the youngest
school of the distinguished list. The
rating the institute received was not
through political pull, but as Major
General j. F. Bell. chief of staff, U.
s. A. said in his telegram of June
18th. il was by soldlefly spirit, zeal
and esprit de corps on the part of the

THE NUMBER THIRTEEN.
Time Was When 1t Used to Be Con
sidered Lucky.

Abstract science has done much in
brushing away the cobwebs of popular
superstition, and abstract science es-
tablishes the fact that thirteen in an
cient times had quite different
meaning from the thirteen of today.
Oriental people found in thirteen
something divine and hence some
thing good. Thus it is in the folklore
of the Persians, the Indians and Hin
docs.
Old Testament Jews were of the
same opinion, as Biblical students
well know. Thirteen cities were es-
pecially dedicated to the priestly
tribe; thirteen high priests descend
ed from Aaron; thirteen kings sat in
the high council of the ancients; on
the 18th day of the month Nissan the
preparations for Passover began, and
the holy incense consisted of thirteen
different odors.
1t is well known that all the ma
lions of the old world were in more
or less intellectual rapport. The ideas
of one tribe descended to the other.
But it is certainly interesting to learn
that the figure had its sacred and di-
vine meaning also in America of
yore among the long since extinct
tribes of the Incas and the Aztecs.
The inhabitants of Peru counted
seven days without any particular
name in the week Their year had
seven times fifty-two days, or
four times thirteen weeks. The faith
er was compelled to support his lille
gitimate child to the thirteenth year.
The Aztecs had weeks of thirteen
days, each with a special name. Their
century had fifty-two years, or four
times thirteen. Their public archives
were of circular form. with a sun in.
the center of each of the thirteen
parts, and thirteen were their tribes

CONDITION OF CROPS.
Irish Potatoes Are Backward Owing
to Frost of Two Weeks Ago.

Denison, Texas, May lis. T.
Venable, secretary of the Fruit and
Truck Growers, states that the pota-
to crop in this section is backward.
The principal cause for it's hardness
of growth he assigns to the biting
frost of two weeks ago, which nipped
the vines severely. Mr.. Venable says
that a few of the harder potatoes
will be ready for digging by June Is
but he is of the opinion that the
greater portion of the crop cannot be
got on the market before the last OF
June.
Strawberries are in good shape,
Mr.. Venable says, especially consid-
ering the comparatively small amount
of rain that has fallen recently. He
believes that a good rainfall within
the next week will insure an excellent
and bountiful yield of strawberries
The fruit growers are paying but
scant attention to the blackberry
crop owing to the low price that has
prevailed for this product for the last
few years. The growers find no profit
in picking them, Mr.. Venable says.
]. w. Butcher, special agent for the
department of agriculture, who has
covered much of the territory adjacent
to Denison during the last week, says
that 80 per cent of the farmers have
a good stand of cotton and that pros
poets for making a crop are good, so
far as he has seen. Though rain is
needed in some sections, he declares
that the corn is in good condition and
gives promise of doing well. He has
heard some few complaints of bugs
damaging corn but not to any extent.
