Dairy Industry Of United states.

According to the last year book Of
the Department Of Agriculture. there
are 2l,720, 900 mich cows In the
United States, and these are worth
3702 .9i5, 10000 The magnitude OF
the Industry can perhaps be best un-
derstood when II u considered that
these COWS produce yearly about 81
0OO. 900 10000 worth of dairy products
There Is no other branch Of d.
versified agriculture 20 important to
the progress OF community. The
fertility OF the soil can best be main
tained by the liberal use OF barnyard
manure and the dairy nerd not only
makes this possible. but dairying is
also more remunerative than other
branches OF farming when properly
carried on.
Dairying has made wonderful pro

creamery and the consumer Of butter

now the nest OF the milk or cream

At the late. lamented session Of
the constipated seventeenth law
was passed providing that the state
treasurer should pay to the chair
man OF each political party twenty
five cents for each vote cast by that
party at the last preceding election.
This new campaign law will give
Otero county 81 .6g4 from the state TO
carry on the fall campaign. Al the
last election the total vote In Otero
county was about 1900. but only
6.776 votes were cast for Taft and
Bryan. the former receiving 1924
votes and the later 3.5i2 votes. The
republican organization In Otero coun'
ty. according To these figures. will
receive 3s0s.50 and the democratic
organization sss5.50 Under this law
the respective candidates Of each
party are allowed to contribute forty
per cent of their first years salary,
None of the candidates In Otero coun.
ty, however. have ever been SO gen
erous In times past as the new law
permits them to be In the future. In
some counties this law would allow

The one need of President TAT,

There isn't man o. consequence,

that needs plenty of publicity work

Publicity work is the fine point Of
advertising. and live people are recog-
nizing this. too, rs a very potent fac
tor Of their business.
There has probably never before

Right there is good key to modern
publicity work.
And that key is mental suggestion!
A Worthy Exponent.
Do you know that the worthiest ex-
ponent of latter day publicity work is
one Theodore Roosevelt?
Do you know that ne has handled
the press ever so cleverIy, and has
felt the pulse OF the people. correctly
in his work OF being his own publici-y
man.
Do you know that every move he
has made for the past fen years has
been in line with publicity IDEAS OF
his own?
Those Of us who have followed his
own personal publicity campaign
have been amused, too.-it has all
been so cleverly planned.
If William Jennings Bryan had been
half so subtle a publicity man or
had lie placed one in the field in his
behalf, to handle the feelings OF the
American people from scientific hui
man interest standpoint through the
