Arbor Day

We had school in the morning
and gave the afternoon as a holi-
day for the pupils to improve
the homes.
The children of Alamogordo,
reported the following: trees

vines and shrubs 100, bulbs %,
19S planted various kinds OF
seeds. Ninty eight chIldre n

clean the yards.
From the above report, the
afternoon must have been spent
in a good cause. There is moth

POSSIBILITIES OF A CANNING
FACTORY IN OTERO COUNTY
The News Ia Luz Correspondent Dis
cusses the General Situation
Urges Also That Better Care be Taken Of Our
Orchards

Lee Glasscock and others are
talking of establishing o canning
factory in Otero county, presum-
ably at Alamogordo, as the loca-
tion of q plant there would be
nearly central, and the necessary
help could be secured with less
inconvenience than at any other
point in the county.
The first canning factory estab-
lished in the state of Missouri
was with a capacity of ten thou
sand three pound cans per day,
and the following outlay of cash
was used: The machinery cost
about $2500 installed in build
ing which had to be bought, and
the site cost $500, which gave a
total cost Of $1,000. The stock
was divided into shares and sold
to the business men of the town,
and the farmers who wished to
buy.
That the factory was success
financially, is proved by the fact
that there are now no less than
125 canning factories in the
state, and last year turned out
ii, 100000 cans of fruit and
vegetables.
OF course q canning factory, on
not 30 large q scale, could be

policy Of the Bell system is to

very likely that this company
will spend some $25, 900 to stand

A copper circuit to FL Paso will
be one of the first improvements
The copper alone, for that cir
cult will cost approximately
$4,000.
For the present there will be

New Ruling

Secretary Wilson has just is
sued an order providing for .
more liberal treatment of bona
fide squatters upon uns'1rveyed
land which has been included
within National Forests since
time of actual occupancy Of the
land by the squatter.
Under the homestead law it ID
impossible for any one to secure
legal title to unsurveyed public
land, but occupancy pending
survey is recognized as giving q
prior claim to the land after sur
vey, under what is known %
''squatters' rights" A squatter
who had, in good faith, taken
possession of a piece of National
Forest land before the National
Forests were created is not dis
possessed of his claim by the
Forest Service, and if he lives
upon it and cultivates it until
the land has been surveyed, he
| is able to get his homestead just
as though he had settled on any
part of the unreserved public
domain. But since the passage
of the Act Of June IL, 1905,
which permits the Secretary Of
Agriculture to list for settlement
land which he finds chiefly vslu-
able for agriculture, it has been
possible for squatters to apply
for the listing of their lands un-
der this Act, and thus to obtain
title prior to the Government
survey. The object of the new

There will also be carried a gen.

Some Oldtime SAVINGS.

Everybody knows some old sayings
which few of us perhaps believe in
our hearts. Yet. although we do not
believe them, still we are interested
in them, and as often as not follow
the directions notwithstanding that
we may scoff at the results. AS, for
instance, most people pick up a pin
when they see it, but they do not
cherish any hope of the action affect
ing their luck. When our ears burn
we say some one is speaking of us;
perchance we think we speak truly,
probably we do not.
Here, however, are some other old
time sayings given for what they are
worth. If you
Drop a slice of bread or butter o
hungry visitor will come.
Eat goose on Michaelmas Day, you
will have plenty of money throughout
the coming year.
Pick an oak apple with worm in
it, you will be rich; with fly in it,
however, poverty must be yours.

you may expect surprise soon.

utes in this way, then another rub
bling must be given to drive the oil
into the pores. After this there must
be a thorough brushing, using long
bristles that will go through the hair
and reach the scalp.
The whole treatment will take at
least ten and probably fifteen or
twenty minutes at night, and it is not
to be thought that all the oil will be
absorbed by the scalp in this time.
To the contrary, much will remain
and the head will not look neat.
Nevertheless, if necessary, it may be
tied in a thin bandage for the night.
Oil in quantities it must have, and in
the morning if more oil can be alb
sorbed it should be applied. The
locks are then twisted closely but not
tightly around the back of the head
and the various switches affected by
fashion are pinned on to completely
cover the natural tresses.
Unpleasant as this treatment may
seem, it is the only one that will ex-
pedite the return to natural color.

is to make the trouble worse.-Mar-

The Parsons Trap.
BY JAMES w. WORKS.

A certain local preacher who lived
in Western New York in my boyhood
days cultivated small farm in ad-
dition to his clerical duties and was
accustomed to trap mink, muskrat
and similar small deer" He was
brought before board of deacons of
his church on charge of attending
his traps on Sunday. He explained
by saying that on one occasion he
was taking walk. 1t CHANGED to be
Sunday morning, and also he had
casually passed near one of his traps.
In the jaws of the steel trap he dis
covered a live mink. AS the poor
creature was badly mangled and suf-
fering. he, out of humanity, took the
animal out and knocked it in the
head.
This seemed to be satisfactory and
the charge was about to be dis
missed when Deacon Cobb sprang his
trap: "Parson, did you set the trap
agin?" With deprecatory wave of
the hand easy to imagine but diff
cult to describe, the parson replied:
Deacon, just barely set it."
