Mosquero Dance

The editor was one of a party
who attended the dance and box
supper at Mosquero last Saturday
night, driving down in VIM.
Baum's auto. 1t was a pleasure
trip without a single exception.
The ride was not the least attract
i've part of the enjoyment, as the
roads we're good, the machine in
good running order and the ev-
ening pleasant. The dance was
all that one could wish and the
supper the same. The boxes
sold for a total of $52.75 and av
eraged about $500 apiece. To US
not the least of the entertainment
was watching jim Rea, his mas
sive shoulders towering above
the heads of the dancers as he
paced to and fro and his clarion
voice booming out the changes as
he prompted for the quadrilles,
just as he used to do years ago
back in old Iowa. 1t will take
but little coaxing to get us to go
to Mosquero again. The pro
ceeds of the dance will beapplied

The Roy Telephone
Co. Reorganized

Arrangements have been made
wherein the Roy Telephone Com
panv is going ahead to complete
their lines to Springer and Tu-
cumcari, and it is the intention of
the management to have all lines
in full operation by June 1st.
Two carloads of telephone posts
have been' ordered, together with
wire. This company has lain in
lethargy for some considerable
time, and it is gratifying to note
that matters have assumed an en-
tirelyresponsible standing. Local
phones are being installed, and it
behooves everyone to help the
enterprise along.

Saved By the Brand.

Last Sunday some homestead
ers from Tucumcari arrived in
town and were seeking someone
to take charge of a fine colt that
insisted on following them. The
colt bore a brand which the ed
itor of this sheet recognized as G..
G. Cunningham's of Springer,
and was corraled and held While
Mr.. Cunningham was advised of
it's presence here. He came for
it Wednesday accompanied by
Frank Dacy, and returned with
it Thursday. The animal was
bred from one of the best i'm
ported draft sires in the Terri
tory, and Mr.. Cunningham has
refused $4,000 for it at s months
old. We are glad to have been
able to perform a service for
Charlie, as he is the sort that real
friends are made of.

State Supt. Visits
Schools

j. E. Clark, of Santa Fe, Ter
ritorial Superintendent of public
Instruction, accompanied by Bias
Sanchez, Of Wagon Mound, ,Coun-
ty Sup't. Of Mora county, drove
into town Tuesday in Mr.. Clark's
Cartercar. They slipped into the
schoolroom quite unobserved and
caught Prof. Johnson and his pu-
pills so engrossed in their school
work they failed to take note of
their presence for some minutes.
Both gentlemen express pleasure
at the condition of our schools and
the interest manifested by our
pupils and the extraordinary pro-

A Sad Tragedy

On Of the most distressing ac-

munity resulted Tuesday in the
death of Rhineer Palmer, who ar
rived from Oklahoma only the
previous day. In company with
his sons and a neighbor, Mr.. Pal
mer han driven Is miles from his
claim after some goods he had
shipped through, having come
overland with the teams, The
wagons were loaded and they
started home about four o'clock
p. m. His load consisted of a
large water tank and miscella-
neous articles, and as he neared
home something occurred to
frighten the fine young team he
was driving, and they ran away,
He was thrown from the wagon
and his skull fractured and his
body otherwise injured, death ev-l
identity resulting instantly. Just
how it happened will never be
fully known. He was about 60
years of age and came from Seily5

known to many homesteaderso

MAKE THE WORLD BRIGHTER.

Put the hammer in the locker,
Hide the sounding board likewise,
Any one can be knocker,
Any one can criticise.
Cultivate manner winning
Tho it hurts your face to smile
And seems awkward in beginning,
Be booster for awhile.
Let the blacksmith do the pounding,
That's the one that draws his pay,
You don't get cent for bounding
Saint and sinner night and day.
just for solid satisfaction
Drop kind word in the slot,
And I'll warrant youl get action
For your effort on the spot
Kindness every time beats knocking,
Mirth is better than frown,
Do not waste your time in picking
Flaws with brothers who are down.
And it isn't so distressing
If you give little boost
TO the man the fates are pressing
When the chicks come home TO roost.
Yes, the old world would be brighter
If you kindle friendships flame
And thus make the trouble lighter
Of the man against the game.
Send your crouch on vacation,
Give your grumbling tones the shake
And with grim determination
Throw your hammer in the lake.

Monthly Distribution Can Be d..

The monthly distribution Of the
rainfall in the western United States
can be divided roughly into three
types-the summer rainfall Of the
Great Plains, the winter and spring
rainfall of the Intermountain district,
and the winter rainfall Of the Pacific
coast region. These three types are
given In the illustration, which shows
the monthly rainfall for three stations
in each Of these regions. It will be
noted that for Bismarck, N. D., North
Platte, Neb., and Amarillo, Tex, which
are typical Great Plains stations, the
rain occurs principally during the
months Of June, July and August, and
that the winter months are very dry

elusive.
In the Pacific coast region, on the
other hand, the rainfall occurs almost
entirely during the winter months, and
1t will be seen from the chart that the
summer months are very dry. The
rainfall distribution in the Pacific
coast region is, then, exactly opposite
to that found in the Great Plains. In
the 1ntermountain region the maxi.
mum precipitation occurs during the
late winter and spring months. Thus

Such rains are, of course, useful to
growing crops that cover the ground,

The chart shows the monthly dis

The scale in inches given on the right
of each diagram can be used to find
the actual amount Of the monthly rain.

ly rainfall at Bismarck, N. D., for
juno Is seen to be 81 inches, while
for July 1t 10 only a little more than
2 inches. 1t will be noted that in the
Pacific coast region the rain comes
principally during the first and last
months of the year, that is, in the win.

comes principally during the middle

ner-tillage methods are considered
necessary to insure sufficient mois-
ture, ven at the cost of the increased
labor necessary to maintain the sur
face mulch. Spring grains are gener-
ally used under the annual cropping
method. since the crop escapes the
dry fall and winter, and the land. hav-
ing been recently worked, is in the
best condition to absorb the summer
rainfall. The shade Of the growing
crop partially protects the ground
from excessive loss of water by evapo-
ration, while the small summer show
ers that are useless on summer-tilled
land always help the growing crop.
Thus We have a radically different sys.
TEN of farm practice In the Great
Plains from that found In the Inter-
mountain country, owing in part to
the difference in the distribution Of
the monthly rainfall of the two reg
Ions and in part to the greater rainfall
In the Great Plains.
The way in which the rain comes
has a great deal to do with its USE

for example, are not we'll adapted to
regions in which. the rainfall comes

ly all lost through subsequent evapo'
ration even when the surface Of the
soil is cultivated after the rain, since
the rainfall does not penetrate below
the depth of the mulch. These small
rains are, however, usually sufficient
to pack the mulch and form a surface
crust, which must be broken by cult
walton as soon as possible; otherwise
evaporation will 60 on SO rapidly from
the surface of the soil that far more
moisture will be lost than was gained

c%ipitation Of the Pacific slope and the
summer precipitation of the Great
Plains.
In regions where the annual rainfall
is low the monthly distribution of the
rainfall determines to a large extent
the farm practice Of the region. A
comparison Of the systems of dry
farming employed in the Great Basin
and in the Great Plains will make this
clear. In Utah and in a large part OF
the Great Basin country the precipi-
tation comes largely in the winter and
early spring. In consequences, spring
wheat is not a successful crop In this
region for two reasons: Q) The land
can not be fitted for sowing until late
In the season, owing to the spring
rains, and ca the driest part OF the
season occurs just when the spring

the other hand. the conditions in this
