alton in all sections of the state, and
has opened campaign to have the
auditors OF each county have every

pears such taxpayer is liable for,
from the best obtainable information,
and penalty Of SO per cent. is to be
added.

payer, the auditor can summon and
require any other person having
knowledge OF his affairs to appear and
testify, and forms for these sum
monses have been printed and sent

AVIATION WEEK
 AT ALBUQUERQUE

Albuquerque, N. M.. Oct. A. That Charles F. Walsh, one of the best known and most daring avia tors in the country, has been SC. lected to make the aeroplane flights at the New Mexico State Fair, on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday of Fair Week, Oct. g to IA, and that the flights will positively and abso- lutely be made, successfully and to the satisfaction of the people of New Mexico, is the information con- veyed today from Jerome s. Fanci- ulli, general manager of the Curtiss Exhibition Company of New York, to John B. McMauus, secretary manager of the New Mexico Fair. Walsh has just completed a very successful series of flights in Ogden, Utah, where he ascended into the higher attitudes for four straight days, two flights each day, to the satisfaction of thousands and tbou- sands of visitors. We have con vinced other people and will con- vince the New Mexico people that a Curtiss aviator and Curtiss bi- plane will fly there at the Fair." is one of the sentences contained in MT. Fanciulli's telegram.
 The New Mexico State Fair As- sociation has arranged for Curtiss aeroplane flights at big expense. They have secured the best biplane and one of the best ayiators in the United States. The Fair Associa- ton is ready to convince skeptics. Many people really doubt that the flights are going to be made. These people are especially invited to come to the Fair and be convinced. In addition to the aeroplane flights six baseball clubs will contest for big prizes: Dawson. Santa Fe, AL buquerque, Clovis, El Paso and Amarillo. As many of the leagues have finished the seaeon, some of the best players in the business will be seen in action at Albuquerque, Many of them will go to the big leagues next season.

operation, evidencing apparently, as
stated above, remarkable instinct.
Fitch claims that the entire larval
and pupal stage is passed within the
twig. From personal observation, how.
ever, we are led to believe that such
may not always be the case. Our at
tention was called by correspondent
in August, to the fact that many fallen
twigs examined contained no worms.
Later. in September. we noted this
also. and were not able to find a single
larva in any twigs examined, q large

ton. This can hardly be accounted
for by the work of insectvorous birds
since they would be unable to reach
them in their burrows. In any event
the larva is in its burrow when the
twig first falls, and can then be easily
cared for. We therefore. suggest the
following: -
Remedy: Collect and burn all twigs

Silly Billy From Bolton.

In a certain town in the north Of
England there is a man known by
the name Of Silly Billy. Not feeling
well one day, he sent for the doctor.
After examination the doctor asked
him If he would take note to the
Model lodging house and he would
give him sixpence. So Billy, not Hk-
ing to refuse, said he would. But on
the way there he came across street
sweeper that he knew. He told the
sweeper where be was going, but he
said If he would take the note he
would give him threepence. So off
he went and gave the landlord the
note, and he found the following writ
ten:
"Give this man bath and keep him
In till tomorrow morning, and I will
call and see him."
So the following morning the doctor
came and was shown into his room.
Looking at the man, he exclaimed:
"This is not the man I sent!'

Marble POLISHING.

Marble polishing is simple and
quickly done. The cakes are carried
from the saving room and placed on
a fat revolving iron table. The iron
brushes off the rough particles on the
surface, and the operation takes about
FIVE minutes. Then the slab is at
tackled by man with an emery wheel.
Three grades of emery are used, and
it's only about minute to each grade.
Next come three doses Of felt, each
time the felt growing finer in grade.
The felt is attached in a layer to a
fat wheel, spun by electricity. and as
it huns you can see the marble be-
gin to sparkle. The finishing touches
are put on with the use Of a fine felt
rub, oxalic acid and oxide Of zinc.
The operator simply smears the sur
face with the mixture, gives couple

State Summer School for Teachers, -
heretofore conducted at the Univer-
