New Mexico is
 Sure Of Admission

Prescott, Jan. 5.-The Journal Miner this morning published the following special telegram from it's correspondent in Wash ington:
 "As a New Years greeting to New Mexico, it wes announced here that President Taft antici- pates that within sixty-fve days he will have the pleasure of sending to Governor William J. Mills of New Mexico his order for the New Mexico executive to issue the proclamation calling for an election of two congress- men, state officers, members of the legislature and county off cers for the state of New Mexico
 "The constitution has been carefully examined by the presi- dent and many members of both houses of congress, and it is an nounced on the highest authority that It is certain to meet their approval. The election for state officers in New Mexico is to take place not less than sixty days nor more than ninety days from the date of the proclamation. This document will probably be dated March II, 1911. This means that the election will be held in June of this year.
 "It was also announced today that it will be scarcely be possi- bIe for Arizona to get the cleo tion returns on the constitution for that state to Washington in time to be submitted to the pres ent congress. This because of the fact that the election in Ari- zona is held nineteen days later than that in New Mexico. For this reason statehood for Arizo- na will be delayed for another two years.

The Farmer Boy

Every farmer boy should stick to the farm. No greater oppor tunities were ever offered to 0 boy than those held out to the farmer boy of today. Farming is indeed in a process of evolu- tion. The farmer has advanced to such an extent that today he is in the front ranks enjoying pleasures and privileges that make his position a most desira ble one. Farming as a science is being studied and scientific methods adopted. The success ful farmer of today must use hls brains as well as bis muscle. A thorough education on practical lines is an essential qualification for a successful farmer. Get in terested in the farm, boys, and stick to it. It pays.-Journal of Agriculture.

lected aud cavities have formed in the trunk of the tree, some thing should be done to stop the increase of the opening, for, after it has become so large as to encircle the greater portion of the tree, or where the entire center has been destroyed, it is not worth the time and money it takes to properly treat these. In cases where the tree can still be treated the cavity should be scraped and cleaned of all dead wood, then give the cavity a thorough washing or spraying with a solution of copper sul- pnate. This solution applied to all parts of the cavity will kill all the remaining rot spores. Now the cavity is ready to be filled with a cement mixture, using one part of cement to three parts of clean, sharp sand. This is packed into the cavity, filling it to one inch of the finished sur face, and then apply a covering of one part cement to one part sand. This is put on so as to bring the filling to a smooth surface, making it conform to the contour of the tree trunk. A coat of coal tar may be applied to discolor the cement and aid in making the filling water tight.

How to Doctor Trees

Many of the so called tree doctors, as well as the people who employ them, have become so elated over the idea of tree surgery that they find some cause for treating almost every and any tree, regardless of its necessities or the results of such treatment, or whether it is worth while to spend either time or money upon them.
 A word of cantion is therefore not out of place. If you feel that your trees need attention look into the matter of tree dOctoring so that you may know something about it, and then call upon a responsible man with a good reputation to do your work.

The amount of labor required for the crop itself was about l5 working days, with team 1H days. The sesbania used as green manur- ing on the west half of the potato ground was given l7 irrigationS. Bermuda grass, more over, fourished beneath the sesbania to such an extent as subsequently, to require g days labor for cleaning up the .4oacres so fertilized. Although the larger part of the crop came from the sesbania fertiliZed portion of the po- tatoes this method of eDriching the soil proved very costly, ? days mans time and 3 days teamwork being required to put the ses- bania under and afterwards get rid Of the Bermuda grass. Nevertheless, the labor en- tailed could easily have been managed by a careful farmer, as the Bermuda digging was done in January when other work was not urgent.

The Trend CityWdrd

In a recapitulation bulletin issued by the census bureau near the end of last week it is indicat- ed that about 8,O00,00 of the population of the United States is centered in cities of %, ,00O or over.
 The general bulletin issued last week shows that, including Portland and Seattle, which are notincluded in the published list, there will be forty-nine cities in the United States whose popula- ton will, in each case, exceed 1OO, 900. It is in the minor cities and the big towns, as has been previously pointed out, that pop ulation increase has been scored in the highest ratio during the past ten years. In New York state, where there has been a total increase in population dur ing the past ten years of l, ,e44, : 385, the growth has pertained almost entirely to the cities and towns. Fifteen of the sixty one New York counties showed an actual decrease in population, and in Ohio thirty-nine out of the total of eighty eight counties show population decreases. It is the counties that are almost exclusively agricultural that show decreases.
 For the first time in the his tory of this country, it has hap pened that a single City has more than one-half the population of the state in which it is located. Of the 9,113,279 people of New York state, 4,766, 883 live in New York City.

Cure for Scratches

Scratches are caused by expo sure to cold and wet, local irri- tation or low condition, all of which should be avoided if pos sible. In simple cases apply cloths wet with a weak solution of sugar of lead and in winter cover to keep out cold. When cracks have appeared apply a similar lotion with the addition of few drops of carbolic acid. In case of discharge or postules, make a lotion of chloride of zinc instead of the lead; finely pow dered charcoal may be sprinkled over the cloths.

The valley in which the City of Mexico is situated is some 50 miles long by 10 broad and 7,5OO feet above the sea level. It is supposed that the basin was formerly filled with water, and several lakes still cover a part of it. The site is one of extra ordinary beatty and impressive ness.

Negro SegregatiOn Elsewhere

The Baltimore segregation ordinance has been declared invalid by two judges sitting in Baltimore But the objections of the Judges seem to relate more to de- fects in the measure itself than to it's un- constitutionality. In fact no one claims that the ordinance is unconstitutional, and there is room left in Baltimore for the adoption of a measure that is free from internal and technical defects.
 Richmond is about to adopt a similar ordinance. Under the proposed Richmond ordinance 1t will become unlawful for any white person to occupy as a residence or to establish and maintain as a public assembly any house upon any street or alley between two adjacent streets on which a greater number of houses are occupied as residences by colored persons than are occupied by whites. Locations made previous to the ordinance are ex empted.s The fine for violation is s100 to s20o, with 30 to 90 days in jail.
 It will be observed that all prohibition in the Richmond ordinance applies to white persons, and yet it would accomp-  fish, no doubt, segregation as effectually as the Baltimore ordinance, which was applied to both whites and colored alike.

 There is nothing in the use of the re- call that Is at all alarming. In fact, it is reassuring, for if an executive officer prove unsatisfactory on grave grounds he can be turned out. The commission form of government without the recall might be grossly abused. It might become very corrupt or very tyrannical On ac- count of the difficulties in securing large petition it is not probable the re- call would be applied except when, as in Seattle. offense had been given to all good citizens. No trivial affair could be made the basis of successful movement The recall is applied democracy, and there is no reason to believe 1t would be applied contrary to the just demands of public sentiment.

Local Options Signal Victory

F The local optionists in the Alabama legislature won a signal victory yes- terday. The Parks bill which is a re- affirma tion of the local option plank of the democratic platform was adopted by the house by 5s to 45, the Almon substitute first having been voted down by 5s to 47.
 Yesterday was the most exciting day of the session. The debate lasted for several hours. The prohibitionists were well organized and made bold fight, but as forecast in The Age -Herald's Montgomery correspondence local op- tion had majority that no hystercal appeal or political trading could change The prohibition leaders are past mas ters in the game of bluff They have been playing bluff ever since the leg islature convened, but they have met "tth JdSt SdSh dcClSiNC Qcltdl as might have been expected.
 Prior to the enactment of state- wide prohibition laws about 90 per cent of Alabama was dry With local option restored this state as a state will doubtless be as dry as ever, pos sibly drier. The cause of real temper ance seems to be growing in strength throughout the country. It is unques- tionably strong in Alabama and the return of the local option system should be regarded as distinctive gain for it. In those communities where public sentiment has been against pro- hibition the laws have not only not been well observed, but the whole pro- hibition matter has been a farce. There has been more hypocrisy. and, in many cases. far less sobriety than there would have been under dispensary or a high license and strict regulation plan.
 Last year the people dq Alabama elected a governor and a legislature with the expectation that no time would be lost in putting the state back on local option basis A splendid start was made in the legislature yester- day There should be no delay in get ting the Parks bill through the senate. Supplemental legislation will be needed to give local option practical form, but with clear working majority demo- cratic leaders should have little diff culty in carrying through such sane measures as the reasonable, law -abid- ing people of Alabama will approve.

Elgland'S New Parliament

The house of commons Is again in work ing order and so is the liberal cabinet over which MT. Asquth presides, and so is the house of lords. What these three will do toward the settlement of a great constitutional question is the question of the hour in the minds of English-speaking people.
 MT. Asquith and his colleagues have received mandate from the kingdom to bring in a bill which will transfer the supreme power of government to the King and the house of commons, leaving to the peer simply the power to post pone for two years any question that the commons may persistently present. Armed doubtedly pass a bill to this effect and send 1t to the house of lords What will the peers do with it?
 They should accept it because the mat ter was referred to the electors and they 50 decided by returning a liberal major- ity of 12o But some of the peers say the recent election involved tariff reform and fhe Irish question, and that the great constitutional issue was not clearly de- cided
 If the peers refuse to accept the bill of the commons, England will indeed be in . torn-up condition. The liberals may apply to the King for the creation of 300 liberal peers. This would be bold step, and it may not be taken The peers still psoffer referendum plan, but this plan was practically rejected in the recent elections.
 The peers are not stubborn or hot-head- cd. They admit that the heredity prin- c1ple is untenable, and they are still willing to adopt any reasonable reform in the makeup of the upper house. This spirit among the peers may lead to a compromise, and this is what the country is awaiting or rather boping for A semblance of power may be retained in the house of lords, but this is all that can be retained. The King and the com mons will hereafter rule the kingdom.

For State and County Fairs

Senate bill No 112, seeking to promote state, district and county fairs in Ala bama by approprlating funds for the pay ment of premiums for exhibits of agricul- tural products, live stock and poultry, is a measure that should meet with general approval It is a good bill, and there should be no question about it's passage.
 This measure would take no money from the general fund. It is proposed that s25,O0O per annum be appropriated and be apportioned to the several fairs in the state. This money is to come from the sale of fertilizer tags Oc coun- ty fairs there are not more than seven or eight and state fairs are not pumer- ous The division, therefore, of s25,OO0 would give material aid to the fair projects, and since the money can be used only for the payment of premiums on agricultural products and live stock, ct the discretion of the commissioner of agriculture, subject to the approval of the governor, only good could result
 While the total amount asked for is comparatively small 1t would give de- cided impetus to the agricultural inter- ests of Alabama. This state has walked Up to the importance of raising corn and enthusiasm among the farmers as there is today. They should be encouraged In every way possible and the passage of senate bill No. 112 will go a long way in doing this.

Seattle does not enjoy a commission
 form of government but its voters do possess the recall provision, and in the state of Washington all women vote at all elections.

The mayor went on from bad to worse, protecting in va rious ways immortality. until the good women of Seattle rose up in rebellion and the recall was duly demanded.

MANuEL IN EXILE

From the London Chronicle.
 Although the exied King Manuel and Queen Amele have been at Richmond only a fortnight, the people of the royal borough are already taking their pres ence quite as matter of course.
 Now that the photographers have ceased from troubling and newspaper re- porters have turned their attention to fresher topics, King Manuel and his mother are able to enjoy the serene se- elusion which they seek. They leave and return to the mansion in Kings road un- noticed except by the policeman on duty at the gate, the sole advertisement that Abercoin is not as other houses on the hill.
 And the goings and coming are pretty constant, because both the young king and Queen Amelie love the open air, and find constant delight in exploring Rich mond park. The queen knows it and the surrounding country well. for she passed much of her youth in the house of the Comte de Paris at Twickenham, only mile or two distant. And the Hing is rapidly acquiring a Knowledge of the most desirable excursions for walking or riding or motoring.
 He takes great deal of walking exer- c,se, generally in the morning after the cafe complet which is served in conti- mental style about S:30, at Abercorn. A strole 10 the Robin Hood gate in the park by Hain Cross, and back, about six miles, is his favorite route. which he in dulges in nearly every morning. S1me- times he is accompanied by Senhor Ke- rausch, his late tutor, sometimes by the Marquis de Lavradio, the private secre- tary, who lives nearby at Sussex house. | He disdains the protection of an over- coat during these walks. Dressed in blue serge or tweed, and wearing a soft felt I hat he apparently finds the climate of Richmond quite congenial.
 l He is a pretty constant visitor to Lon- con, where he calls on his loyal adher- ents, including the Marquis de Several and the Marquis and Marquise de Faval. Both former King Manuel and his mother have been seen riding in Richmond park, attended by a single groom. The stables attached to Abercorn, which lie about 100 yards from the house, to which they are connected by telephone, now contain some half dozen horses for tf>e use of the royal party.
 The interior of Abercorn has been re- painted and the walls distempered. for former King Manuel dislikes wall paper.
 Some half dozen smaller houses in the neighborhood have been taken by friends of the exiles. At present the Comte and Comtesse de Figueiro. the lord chamber lain and the .lady-in- waiting, are staying with their majesties, but when Crow < Nest, in the Queens road, has been re- decorated they will remove there. It is expected that before long quite a colony of Portuguese nobes will be formed in
 Richmond, and they will have no diff culty in finding houseroom.
 Each Sunday since their arrival the ex- lied king and his mother, with the ladies and gentlemen of the household, have at- tended mass at St.. Elizabeth's Roman
 Catholic church.
