borrowing
Ranny

Tice started borrowing the day he
got home from his wedding trip, and
was too indolent to unpack the box of
tools to get the Ratchet to chop kim
ding wood so that this young wife
could cook supper. He went over next
door and picked up the Ratchet from
that woodpile, calling out that he just
wanted to use it for minute
Presently young Mrs. Tice ran out
with cup in her hand and borrowed
two teaspoonfuls of baking powder
from the same neighbor. She had for
gotten to order any when she bought
supplies. Also she asked for a few
matches, as theirs hadn't come. Thus
auspiciously inaugurating their career,
they neglected no opportunity to be
consistent.
AS the years rolled on they bor-
rowed at one time or another near
ly everything in town, from the min
listers black coat for Tice to wear to
an unexpected and inconvenient fu-
neral to the Rimmels' baby carriage
The Rimmels' babies had grown too
big for the carriage and, as Mrs. Tice
said, what was the use of a perfectly
useless thing like that standing idle
and cluttering up the Rimmels' wood
shed, when she could utilize it?
The Tices borrowed their neigh
bors garden rakes, patterns, scissors,
handkerchiefs, silver forks and coffee
grinders. They were always just out
of lard, flour, chocolate or yeast cakes
when company came. Thrifty people
got into the habit Of retiring to the
attic or the cellar if they saw the
Tices headed their way. Still, in spite
of these drawbacks, the Tices did very
we'll in their line.

what we are doing, to show them

the goods"
The business men of the dis
trict have done their share in do
mating cash and premiums as in
centives to get the farmers to
bring in samples of their pro-

STATEHOOD AT LAST

Statehood for New Mexico and
Arizona as reported under pro
visions of the Flood Smith reso-
luton, passed both houses of
congress last Saturday and was
signed by President Taft on
Monday.
This ends a fifty year fight for
self-government by New Mexico
and Arizona. The joint resolu-
tion provides for Arizona's ad-
mission with the recall of the ju-
dietary eliminated. If majority
of the Arizona voters ratify the
amendment to except judicial Of
fcers from the recall, such
amendment will become part of
Arizona's constitution.
The resolution admits New
Mexico into the union with pro
vision for vote upon an amend
ment making its constitution
easier of amendment. The pres
ident is required within 30 days
after approval of the measure to
certify the fact to the governors
of New Mexico and Arizona, and
within 30 days they must pro-
claim an election to be held be-
tween sixty and ninety days
thereafter.
According to official dope New
Mexico and Arizona should hold
their elections during the latter
part of November. The first set
of officers shall hold office until
November, 1912, and be elected
thereafter every four years.
County officers are not eligible
for reelection except in one OF
two minor Offices.

w huu OOJCCU nave OuC luI llSIo
and business men of Roy in hold
ing a fair?
This is fair" question.
Is it to give us opportunity to
dress i'll our Sunday best, buy a
dimes worth of peanuts, see the
races, and talk politics? Is it to
be merely three days jollifca-
ton, a strictly home affair of
which the outside world will
know nothing9
If so, then we will have gained
absolutely NOTHING.
We of this district know pretty
well what has been raised. The
majority of US have done our
level best to make good crops This
season. The fact that neighbor
Jones raised better pumpkins
than we, will not be much incent-
i've to better effort on our part
the coming season. We are do
ing our best and will continue to
do so.
No, we are not giving this fair
to find who is the most success
full farmer in this section nor to
throw away three good days on
useless pleasures and selfish COM
petition.
The object of this fair is to
gather together the biggest and
very best variety of crop samples

 Tiger Hill is the most important fort outside Ranking It was we'll fortified and contains big guns. which menaced the approach of the rebel fleet. which commanded the lower section of the city. Lion Hill fort is at the lower end of town, within the wall

 Communication with Ranking is possible only by wireless. which is deficient Telegrams received through reform services from Wu Chang re port the complete rout of the impe- rialists at HankOw. Republicans are said to have regained all their posi- tiOns on the Hankow side of the Yangtse and Han rivers. Wireless reports say there was heavy fighting. with great losses on both sides. There is reason to believe the reports are much exaggerated. however. as a strict censorship is maintained at the telegraph offices controlled by both the rebels and the government.
 Rev John Wesley Hill. president of the International Peace Forum, ar rived at Shanghai today from Japan. and was heartily welcomed. He saw Wu Ting Fang. former Chinese rep resentative at Washington. who is now allied with the revolutionary movement. and received assurances of the determination of the reform CTS to advance United China to the forefront among nations. and to re- spect the rights of foreigners. par ticularly Americans At Dr. Hills suggestion.
