IN REGARD TO CORRESPONDENCE.

A batch of good items came
in last week from Wooten too
late to publish. We already had
a part of them, and as The rest
would now lie old we have not
printed them this week. The
contributor signed no name, so
we do not know who sent them.
Please send items so they can
reach us not later than Wtdnes-
day, and always sign your
name, so that we may k II o w
who sent them. We are always
glad to get local items, if they
reach US early enough in the
week, and we will not publish
the contributors name if re-
quested to withhold it. We do
uot object to two Or more cor
respondents from the sam e
neighborhood provided they dc
not send the same items. In
case they do, we give the pref
ermce to the older correspond

CANNED DOC.

In view of the fact that the
towns of the Valley are putting
in canning factories, and that
the move is attracting consider
able attention outside, it seems
to us the editor of the p e C 0 s
Valley News is running a risk
of putting his town, Artesia, in
wrong, by his article published
last week on canning a dog :"
AS q fact the dog he writes of
was "tin-canned;" but then isn't
most of the canned stuff nova
days "tin.canne ~ And then he
offers five years subscription to
his paper TO anyone who secur-
e3a conviction of the party who
done the canning. Doesn't that
make it look like the real thing,
and that Brother Newkirk had
taken the wrong package home
from the grCcers. But between
the lines we can see enough to
form a reasonable conjecture
that it was only a til can tied
to a measIy dogs tail-and from
that the tale "unfolds.'

FINE RAIN
LAST NIGHT
FARMERS WILL SMILE.
Everything Lovely in
This Neck of the Woods!

A nice steady rain fell l t
night, Of several hours duration,
and this morning everything
looks as fresh as a May ros e.
We go to press too early this
morning to get reports from the
various sectors and neighbor-
hoods, but it seemed to he a
general rain, extending over
quite a large district, and we
believe it will insure good crops
all around us if it continues

DROUTHS ELSEWHERE.

While we need rain badly in
some sections. and 1t would be
acceptable all over this country,
yet we are not suffering as
greatly as the farmers Of t h e
states east. Parts of Oklahoma,
Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas
are in a heated drCuth that is
simply burning the crops mp be
yond all hope. New Mexico is
faIing better than her neighbOrs.
Our lack of general rains is
discOuraging, especially a f L e !.
our two seasons of complete
drough and, in a sense, it is a
poor way to console ourselves
with the misfortune of our
neighbOrs. At the same time,
while we symyathize with the
people of other sections who are
drouth stricken, it is still salts
faction to know that New Mex
leo is not the only country sub
ject to dry weather, for we gain
the hope from this that seasons
will change here, as they do
elsewhere.
