BEHIND THE POLITICAL SCENES.

Franklin F. Ellsworth. of the Sec
ond district, adjoining and neighbour
ing and doubtless soon to be part of
the Seventh, will not let the politi-
clans go their own mad way.
No, frankie has thoughts of his
own and high blown ambitions and
an unmitigated conviction that he is
an orator and should be down at
Washington breathing the breath
Of life into the fossils settled COM
fortably there.
The poor old Second has been torn
and rent with dissension and ambi-
ton since before James T. McCleary
had the burden of pubic affairs TAX
en- off his shoulders. Paul Ewert of
Elusive Oklahoma fame, and Gutter
son, erstwhile clerk in the state trea-
surer's office, Al Ward millionaire
of Fairmont and old, and C. C. Dine
hart, now gone, all helped to stir
things to a white heat. But none
was worse trouble maker than this
man F. F. Ellsworth.
In spite of his conceit and youth
there is really something to Els
worth. He can talk and he moves
people and the first you know they
are out voting for him. He came
within an ace of running away with
things last fall. There are those
who say he was double-crossed at
one or two stages and if so these
doublings doubtless helped on the
obsequies at the polls.
Reasonably Ellsworth should have
had clear field after the death of
Mr.. Dinehart. Certain traits Of
character and political leanings pre-
vented this.
By the way the retiring attorney
general figured in little deal that
was not wholly to his credit just be-
fore the campaign opened in the
Second.

RENEWAL.

Comrades of the whirling planets,
Mother of the leaves and rain,
Make me joyous as thy birds are,
Let me be thy child again.
Show me all the troops of heaven
Tethered in a sphere of dew
All the dear familiar marvels
Old, child-hearted singers knew.
Let me laugh with children's laughter,
Breathe with herb and blade and tree,
Learn again forgotten lessons
Of thy grave simplicity.
Take me back to dream and vision
From the prison house of pain,
Back to fellowship with wonder.
Mother, take me home again!

convention without a fight and If
there is to be a scrap a good one is
wanted. Ellsworth is being famed
with the fiattery that he is the right
man to take care of the states legal
business. This is Icing told him by
those who hope to see peace in the
Second if Ellsworth will only shy
out.
The Second is interesting to the
Seventh because there is not a little
talk that part of the Seventh will
join part of the Second at the next
reapportionment.
When the legislature meets in
1913 it's first business will be the
congressional reapportioning of the
state into ten instead of nine con-
Observation-Disclosures.
Where's the Tenth coming from?
To slice off part of the Second and
tack on part of the Seventh and then
take part of the Third and add part
of the Fourth so that Ramsey coun-
ty would be district by itself would
suit some people.
In a good many ways it is reason
able to talk of uniting part of the
Seventh and Second. The Seventh
is big district but it is not big
enough for all the ambition there is
in it. 1t must be enlarged or
changed or bust.

The recent investigation of the

a doubt helps some. II the great

Dodder in Chilean Red-Ciover
Seed

Since July |, 1910, twenty
three lots Of clover seed of pro-
bable Chilean origin aggregatlng
$40, 900 pounds have oeen I'M
ported in the United States. In
all of these shipments two kinds
IF dodder seed characteristic of
Chilean red-clOver seed are pre-.
sent. At a normal rate of seed
ing, these shipments are sum
cient to seed approximately
46, 900 acres, and at this rate of
seeding all average of approx
mately 500 dodder seeds would
be sown on each square rod.
The sowing of this Chilean seed
this spring means that the clover
crop on considers hle proportion
of the area on which 1T is seeded
will be destroyed by dodder, and
farmers should be on their guard
against purchasing this seed. I'm
fortunately most of these impor-
tations have gone into the south
ern part of the clover-produclng
region where this dodder will
undoubtedly prove disastrous.
This Chilean clover seed is itself
especially fine looking seed, be-
ing dark colored and approx.
mately fifty per cent larger in
size than ordinary red-clover
seed produced i'll the United
States. 1t will, therefore,
doubtless receive q ready sale on
account of its fine appearance.

The Register and Receiver OF
the L. $. Land Office at Las
Cruces, n. NJ, have received a
ruling from the General Land
Office regarding the construction
nf wha; is known as the Enabling
Act passed by Congress June ~,
1910. wherein it was provided
that in addition to sections SIX
teen aud thirty-six which had
heretofore been granted New
Mexico for school purposes, Sec
tions two and thirty. two in every
township would he added to the
school grant, thus making four
sections, namely. ,, l6, 32 and 36
inevery townshipwhich belong to
the Territory of New Mexico.
The construction Of the Enabl-
ing act, however, provides that
only such lands in sections = and

clear on the records on the date
of the act should 60 to the Terri
tory. Any lands in these sec

This means that a homestead

ITO BE F0REwARNED
Is TO BIZ F0REARMED"

Considerable similarity exists
in the methods of operation IL
sW indlers. The best guard
against becoming a victim is TO
know the people you deal with
aud understand the forms and
customs Of business. Most people
are swindled because they are
looking for something for nothing
and because they trust strangers
rather than their home dealers.
The buyer Of a negotiable pro.
missory note is not bound to ask
the circumstance Of the consid-
Grafton, that is what il was given
for. The person who has pur-
chased it in good faith may col
lect from the maker unless some
part of it be proven a forgery.
Example No. |: A signs sew
eral 'promissory notes offering to
pay B $l.OO per month on clock,
Il raises one of his notes to $l0O.-
90 and sells it to a local bank.
A, to escape payment, must show
the amount was raised. Don't
give notes to strangers. Pay cash
or rather buy Of your home deal
er.
Example No. 2: A gives B q
permit to erect a wind-pump SO
that his neighhors may see how
good it is. This is worded that
when the contract is cut INTO,
one-half appears as a prOmissory
note. Sometimes al extra signa-
ture is obtained by the use of q
carbon paper underneath, to q
note or similar instrument.
Example No. 3: B advertises
fer a farm. From letter of A
he secures his signature. Using
a paste board box, electric light
and a piece of glass, he traces the
signature of A to deed to farm
and he also forges the acknowl-
edgement of a notary. Upon the
farm he borrows money and de-
camps. The deed is proven
forgery. The man who loans
lOoses.
Example No. A.: A pretended
western miner comes to town
hunting long-lost brother who
would help him develop mine.
He cOnfides to a local citizen that
he has a valuable specimen.
They accidently meet in a neigh
b0rhood town a man who says
the brick is worth $4,000. 90.
The pretended miner must have
money at once and tearfully
parts with the brick at the ruin
GUS CD price of $l0,000.00. The
"assayer" turns out 10 have
been a pal OF the miner.
Example No. 5: Use of mails
for fraudulent purposes is watch
ed by U. 5. Secret Service
agents. Sending matter adver
tising frauds, sending obscene
matter, interfering with the
mails and defacing government
property are all punishable.
Example No. 8: The Plane
