Mrs. Mae Martyr, writing on
beauty subjects for the Phila-
delpha Press, says: Society
women everywhere are using a
liquid preparation, which is
easily applied and dries quickly,
giving the complexion a soft
pink and white glow impossible

IAN excellent and trus t.

Farming Congress Press
Bureau.

Colorado Springs, August Is.
Farmers Of the United States
ntedlessly threw away 1896, 900
bushels Of winter wheat this
year, not to mention an enour-
nous loss in other farm products,
simply because they failed to
prepare against drouth by lax
ing steps to keep moisture in the
soil. This is the declaration of
Secretary John 7. Burns of the
International Dry Farming Con-
yress, who is now preparing to
conduct the Sixth Congress,
which meets in this city next
October.
Mr.. Burns has just read the
report of the United States De
partment of Agriculture of Aug
ust, showing that loss under the
1911 crop. Before him lay {
sheaf of wheat raised by j. NJ
Bradshaw of Peyton, Colorado

STATEHOOD AT LAST.

STATEHOOD AT LAST.
Statehood is finally an aesur-
ed fact. 1t now remains to hold
on election for state officers, and
vote on the proposition of max
ing the constitution more easily
amended, and, whether the
amending proposition is a.
dopted or rejected, New Mexico
will become a state just the
same. We do not know what
view our readers may take OF
the constitution matter, but the
writer stands for letting good
enough alone. When you have
a constitution that can be
changed as easily as some people
can change POLITICS you have
basic laws that are unstable and
wholly unreliable. Under such
condition property holdings
and personal rights are not Sc
cure, and we would as soon risk
protection in Old Mexico, South
America, or any of the lesolu
tionary countries as in state
that can change her constitu-
tional laws "while YOU wait. D
Parties who have been agitatine
this question and insisting that
we have bad constitution be-
cause it is so hard to change
use the argument that consti
tuition should be easy of chang
in the interest of the common
people. Don't be deceived by
this appeal. 1t would not be il
the interest of the common PEG
pie but strictly in the interest o
capital, corporations and trusts
They would be the first to seel
a change when any of the pro
visions conflict with their in
terests, and they, with thei
money, influence and traine
knowledge can accomplish thei
ends much more easily than ca
the farmer, mechanic or con
mon laborer. If we have
constitution which, as the
claim, is hard to change, w
have got something we can d.
pend on; a safeguard agains
the schemers. Who sprun
this objection to New Mexico
constitution? Not you M
farmer, not you, Mr.. Lahore
but political scemers who hay
something up their sleeve
And they seek to hide the
motives behind the interest
'The dear people" The vel
fact that they are rearing up {
their hind legs and paving IL
air is evidence that you ha,
them roped. Better hang
them until you get the sadd
on and tight cinched.

Gas escaping from the blast furnaces

All coke product is sifted, and any

Paris is actively agitating the prof.
ect of enlarging the bed of the Seine
so as to bring seagoing vessels to the
French capital, and the general opin-
ion is that the scheme is entirely prac-
teal and is what Paris needs above
all for its future prosperity. The 3d.
100000 which is annually paid for the
transport of freight from Paris to Lon
don i'll order to be reshipped will be
partly saved. Besides, the metallurgi-
cal aud industrial eastern region will
have direct connection with England,
and there will be no fear that a canal
from Basle to Lausanne on Lake Cen
eva will take all the Swiss and Italian
traffic away from France. Another
point is that the $34000,000 for work
claimed TO be indispensable for pre-
venting future foundations of the Seine
will not be needed. All capital put
into the Paris seaport" project will
be revenue bearing.

Fruits That Will Make jelly.

About jellying there is difference
in fruit. Grapes and currants are es-
pecially good. Strawberries, very ripe,
raspberries, blackberries and peaches
need something TO make them more
acid in order to make firm jelly. One
lemon to every pint of peach juice will
make delicious jelly. Green grapes
require one-third more sugar than juice
to make nice jelly. Juice, peelings
and all are used for this. Put into a
jar or granite kettle. Allow a cupful
Of water for every five pounds of fruit
Cook until soft and proceed as for
other jelly.
Grab apples and apples make the
firmest and surest jellies. Cut the
fruit up, putting in seeds. peelings and
all. Allow a cup of water to every six
pounds of fruit. Cook until soft and
proceed as with others. For cranberry
jelly use three cups of water to two
quarts of fruit The usual process
makes beautiful jelly.

llIeaibIe Coin Inseriptions.

Lying on the table in front Of a
numismatist was an old copper coin.
1t had experienced hard usage.
"Can you read the date and the in
scription?" inquired the collector.
The visitor inspected the specimen;
but, although he had the aid of a mag
nifying glass, he confessed that the
words and figures were illegible,
LET me assist you" the collector re-
marked. Going to the kitchen range,
he thrust an ordinary coal shovel into
the fire and permitted it to remain
there until red hot. Withdrawing it,
ne dropped the coin ON the utensil, and
it speedily became as red hot as the
shovel itself. Immediately the date,
1874, shone brightly in glowing figures
on the diverse side of the coin. and
similar treatment revealed the words
"United States of America, One Cent
on the reverse. This test, according
to the numismatist, seldom fails with
any coin even when the inscriptions
have been worn so perfectly smooth
that they are invisible to the naked
eye-New York Press.

And yet not strange, for it has grown
The home of those of whom | am

They make it seem familiar and most

So close it lies that, when my sight

think I see the brightly cleaning
strand;

from here
Come near enough to touch my
hand

We should find heaven round about
us lies.

When from this dear earth | shall

To that still dearer country of the

And join the lost so long dreamed
about.

One more to make the strange be-

And so the grave has lost its vic

To find the loved ones waiting on

An Anomaly of Tides.

a curious fact, to which the construl-
ton of the Panama canal calls atteu-
tion, is that a great difference exists
in the range of the rise and fall of the
tides between the Atlantic and Pacific
sides OF the isthmus. The mean level
of the oceans is the same on both sides,
but at Colon the mean range from high
to low water is only about seven
inches, whereas at Panama it is more
than twelve feet. This great differ
ence is explained by the existence of
tidal node which prevents the Atlantic
tide from entering the Caribbean sea.
Panama, on the other hand, lies at one
corner of the triangular area of the
north Pacific ocean, and in areas of
that shape the range of tide is usually
great at the corners.-Chicago Record

later loud humping was heard, min
gled with loud and earnest eXhorta-

was pushed open. and the anting Off

An electric washing machine that is
said to be a big improvement on ear
lier makes has been invented by an
Ohio man The chief feature of the
machine is that it has a double rub
board, and with this addition the
claim is made that it not only washes
clothes quicker and cleaner than the
old style, but is less likely to injure
them. 1t is said to wash from fifteen
to eighteen shirts in from six to eight
minutes. The advantage of the double
rub board is that every movement
counts, where with one rubbing the
clothes are sometimes dragged over
the slippery surface to their damage
With the reversible wringer the wash
er may be constantly reversed by II

go through properly and the work be
done over again at no trouble.

from opposite sides of the street to greet
each other, met right in the middle of
the car-track and in front of the car.

The car stopped, too, but the wcmen did
not appear to realize that it was there.
Certain of the passengers, whose heads
were Immediately thrust out of the win
dows to ascertain what the trouble was,
