Salaries Raised
bU department.

Washington, July %. Post
master General Hitchcock today
ordered promotions for postofice
clerks and city letter carriers
which carry salary increases of
about 81, ,000,0 900 a year. Orders
also were issued for promotions
in the railway mail service which
will total SITS, 900 a year. These
increases are in addition to the
increases for rural mail carriers
totaling $4,O00,OO0 a year, which
became effective July 1.
The four great groups of postal
employees have received increases
of pay aggregating S6,000,000
during the current fiscal year.
Postmaster General Hitchcock
says the increases will be more
than offset by increased efficiency
of the employees, and he believes
the advances are warranted by
the fact that the postoffice is now
practically on a self-sustaining
basis.

Journal FdV0rS
Cooperation

If anyone doubts that the Es-
tancia Valley is up and doing
this year he need only refer to
the item in yesterday mornings S
Journal regarding the organiza-
ticn of a live active commercial
club in the town Of Estancia.
Following closely on the forma-
tion of a truck growers associa-
tion, this shows that the Estan-
cia valley people are fully awake
to the need and the Importance Of
organized team work in advanc
ing the interests of their great
agricultural plateau; and they
are getting together.
Estancia, as other sections of
New Mexico, have done and are
doing all the time, will immedi-
ately prove that nothing reason
able is impossible to an organiza-
ton Of business men and far
mers. They have taken the i'm
portant preliminary step toward
not only advertising widely the
possibilities of the valley, but of
making the valley live up to the
advertising. The present wet
season has changed the broad
plains around Estancia and Mo-
riarty and all the way down to
Willard into a sea of verdant
vegetation; and with the pump
ing proposition properly system
atically and scientifically fost-
cred and developed, the Estancia
valley can be made to look that
way in dry years.
Water on the land will do any
thing in the Estancia valley in
proof whereof note the fact that
the farmers over there are ad-
vertising for harvest hands.
Cooperation between the local
commercial club and the organ
lied boosters of Estancia and
will be a mighty good
thing for Albuquerque, by the
way. Albuquerque Journal.
Cooperation between the Com
mercial Clubs! Do you want the
New Mexican to send Wicker
sham out here right away to in
vestigate the Commercial Club
Trust? According to the New
Mexican cooperation is a sin, a
shame and Socialistic and then
some.

BUREAU WANTS
PiH0T0GRAP HIS OF
GROWING CROPS
Photographs Are Best Kind Of Advertising,
says hSecretary F7ening, and Bureau is
in need of Good Ones.

There is no better advertise
ment than a good photograph, nc
matter what it is that is being
advertised. This tells the whole
story, tells it accurately and con-
vincingly and leaves no room for
argument, If the land is good
the crop fine, the scenery beauti-
full, the camera shows it, just as
it is, without eXaggeration, but
at it's best. One of the greatest
handicaps the Bureau of Immi-
grafton has had in preparing it's
advertising matter has been in
obtaining photographs. This is
true of practically every section
of New Mexico. Photographs
are demanded for almost every
article about New Mexico that is
sent out. Every piece of advertis-
ing literatures, to be most
effective, must have photo
graphs and good ones.
This is a splendid year on the
farms and orchards of New Mex
leo. Right in this district we
have a great many crops of vari-
GUS kinds that are fourishing and
that Wonld make pictures eff the
most convincing kind. Keep a
permanent record of these crops.
Have some good photographs
taken. Almost every man can
have access to good kodak these
days and the cost is very small.
Do it today while the crops are
at their very best, and when you
have done it send a print to the
Bureau of immigration at Albu-
querque, with the title and des-
cription and your name on the
back. The Bureau is buying
photographs constantly and will
gladly pay the usual price for
good pictures which can be used
in the New Mexico advertising
campaign, One photograph Of
your farm may result in bring
ing many people into this section.
Do it today for New Mexico.

Aged Woman Toilers.
From the Chicago Tribune
~ L..

From the Chicago Tribune
The steady increase in the number OF
women engaged in industrial occupations
Is forcing upon our notice a serious prob
lem. It is: What shall those among
them who have not taken refuge in mar
riage do after they have got into the
forties? When they have reached that
age they are not so useful and acceptable
In shop. mill or factory as they were in
their fresh youth. They cannot keep up.
save in exceptional cases. with the girls
who enter the ranks OF labor. Here and
there an employer. mindful OF past faith
full service. will keep them on for time,
although self-interest urges him not 10
do so. but usually they are laid off.
When women are forced out Of the
factory In which they have spent a large
part Of their lives there Is no other kind
of skilled labor for them to take UP.
Shopkeepers do not care to hire them.
They have not tho culinary knowledge
which would make them acceptable In
the kitchen. II they have no relatives
to fall back on they have to depend on
whatever rough and ill-paid work they
can get.
For many years the gloomy prospects
OF the man who had reached the age of
fifty without having anything laid by have
been the occasional theme OF discussion
and commiseration. The younger man
shoulders him out OF the place he had,
and ne mas IL impossible to get q new
one. Everywhere the preference Is given
to the young man. less experienced. no
doubt, but with more push and go to him
Now we are confronted with the sad case
OF the elderly woman who sits In the
market place waiting in vain for some
one to hire her We shall 'hears-aore OF
her In the future. with the growth In the
number OF woman toilers.
The establishment of q pension fund
to which each worker should contribute
weekly or monthly has been suggested.
Perhaps some practical plan viii be
evolved, but the difficulties are great.
They are greater than with men. who
get higher wages. and are more thorough
ly organized. Tho demands upon woman
wage earners are generally such as TO

But a way out will have to be
found, though II may not be until after

How to Look Tall.
From the Designer.


In these days Of the slender and willowy
we omit graceful, for many fat women
are graceful-every woman must appear
tall. It makes no difference If she meas
ures but five feet when standing on tip
toe to be in style she must manage to
look at least three inches taller. Slen-
derness and grace are valuable attributes
to charm. A certain delicacy Of poise and
tineness Of line are inevitably associated
with refinement, and the women of today
wisely desire to make themselves and
their surroundings artistic and beautiful.
1t is the civilized instinct asserting It
self Life must be faced. SO why not
face it as charmingy as possible. and
certainly charming gown is the out
ward manifest sign of an inward spiritual
grace If there ever was one.
To appear tall, always. II possible, have
your gown of one color, built in long,
flowing lines, with the belt slightly lifted.
Have the belt the same shade as the
gown. A tall woman can afford con-
trast at the waistline with very chic
effect. But these hints are for the petite
woman. The neck should be rounded or
pointed. and always dressed low. Flat
collars and guimpe effects are becoming.
Dog collars and stiff ruchings should be
Stunned. Pink, white and light green are
colors that add materially to height, es-
pecially when carried In some shiny ma
terial such as satin. Brown, black and
red and dull fabrics must be avoided.
Dress the hair high. Never mind II the
hairdressers' windows show heads with
style Is the most becoming style, and a
pretty bandeau or tiiet or ribbon will
give an up-to-date look while permitting
height.

SHOPPING FOR OTHERS.
A Calling for Women That Is Prof

one knows what professional shopper

had worked up from two years clerkine
in g. dry goods store to the duty of see
ing what our rivals in business were do

had the natural instincts Of a good buyer
and bargain hunter and I wanted to in
crease my earnings.
I'm professional shopping I simply ex-
ecute commissions largely from out-of-
town correspondents Two years ago L
bought q good secondhand typewriter.
which l write on myself and which gives
my patrons an easy letter to read, all of
which counts. By appointment l will
go shopping with customers. help them
In their selection and not charge them
anything for this service.
II am qualified at all times to furnish
by correspondence to those out of town
the latest facts and fashions 1 can pur-
chase materials at great saving at
times owing to my dealings with whole
sale houses and even with the manufac-
turers. I will in all cases furnish the
names OF the dealers whore l buy. II de-
sired. but with the understanding with
the dealers that any purchases from my
patrons will be credited to my account.
From private customers my clientele
has now grown to include dressmakers
all over the country. and I am now In
creasing my patronage by doing the

money out OF this. never charge a pa
tron anything unless the mission Is some
what outside my beaten lines. 1t Is the
retailer, Wholesale merchant or manu-
facturer who pays my salary. This Is
done by allowing me certain percentage
on all the customers I bring. L receive

turer, I 60 direct to him whenever pos
sible.
