MANY EXHIBITS PROMISED

Albuquerque, N. M, July 20. -
What New Mexico can produce
in an agricultural and hort icul-
tural way will be shown to every
visitor to the New Mexico state
Fair, to be held in Albuquerque.
October Ola. Without any en-
thusiastic or untimely predic-
tions. the officials of the Fair
Association believe that the dis
plays of cereals, fruits, vege-
tables and other like products
will be greater at the coming
fair than ever before, which is a
pretty broad statement. Many
exhibits have already been, prom
ised, among them displays from
Fort Sumner, pledged by R. c.
Nisbet; from Portales, pledged
by Coe Howard, from Estancia,
pledged by R. A. Speckmann )
from Clovis, pledged by Fred w.
James. The number of fairs
which are to be held in New
Mexico this year indicates the
prosperity of the territory.
Every county fair helps the State
Fair. Boost for your county
fair and then boost for the State
Fair.

ALFALFA A HARD
TASK MASTER

This very plaintive complaint
against the obstreperousness of
alfalfa is so good that we dare to
reprint it. 1t is from an anony-
nous pen.
in May, just at the time you
ought to be hoeing your cotton,
you have to go into your alfalfa
field and cut the first crop. 1t
sort of worries you. of course,
but you have to do it. Then in
June, just when you have a
chance to go fishing. there's an
other crop of alfalfa to cut, and
you don't go. It's blazing hot
in July, and you feel like you
ought to shade some, but you
have to get into another crop of
alfalfa. You are getting tired
of the name of it by this time.
In August you want to go to
camp meeting, swap yarns, have
a good easy time and imagine
you have got religion. But you
can't there's that doggoned al
falfa again. In September it
has always been your custom to
visit your wife's kin folks, but
do you do it? Not much. Con-
found that alfalfa.
In October you are done with
most other crops and you want
to go off to that gambling con-
traption known as the county
fair, and spend some of your
money, but you have to harvest
another crop of alfalfa. And in
November you turn the cattle in
on the field and they Craze on it
all fall. Are you through then?
Heavens no. You've got to
spend all winter feeding it up.
Markham makes a wall about
the man with the hoe. He
ought to shed tears over the man
with an alfalfa farm. If you
want a picture of solid enjoy
ment, see t he man with the hoe
rest npon it and watch the weeds
grow. But the man with an al
falfa farm! Is a man to be
mere machine to transform al
falfa into a bank account? Is
his soul to have no higher as
pirations? Don't be burdened
with an alfalfa farm. If you are
tired and need a rest, if you have
all the money you want, if you
wish to repose in deep, cool, in
viting shades beside still waters,
list your alfalfa farm with us,
and we will sell it to some man
who doesn't know any more
than to enjoy seeing the sides of
his barns bulging out; his horses.
cattle, goats, and hogs fat; his
wife and children happy and
contented, and himself prosper
Gus.
aside from times of political
strife this is shout the only kind
of trouble we have in Nebras-
ka, but nobody pays much at
tention. Campbell's Scientific
Farmer.

High Water in the Pecos

The rise on the Pecos river last
week reached A feet 5 inches and
the flood, which was the greatest
in five years, pulled off Of the
dam three cribs, also two more

will soon apply to Uncle Sam for

School Question Settled

The school problem is now
solved; the undecided lots will be
sold for the benefit of the school;
the money derived from the sale
should be used for the best in
terest of the community, for the
purpose of building a school
house. Quit your kidding and
look to the future of a greater

THE sweet MELODY
Of IRRIGATION

lie HedIJ VI Jllc IIlSdISu
ranch is the wier box. On our
ranch, it stands at the entrance
under a weeping willow, and
sends it's arteries, the fumes,
down the sloping hillside to the
orange, the alfalfa, the distant
stretches of grain; measuring to
each water according to it's need.
To it, in turn, water is doled
out from the hill Aume not
daily, but at stated intervals,
under the jurisdiction of the col
league rulers of our kingdom,
the day and night zanjeros.
For in this country, where for
tune, comfort, even life itself,
depend on it, water is not a
thing to lie at the mercy of the
anarchisht multitude. 1t must
be measured to each man in
turn, with care that none is
wasted; and the hand that deals
it out must be unswayed by par
tiality, or self-interest. Through
every hour of the twenty-four,
you may see the zanjeros skim
ming the miles of dusty road
from ranch to ranch, unlocking
a gate here and another there,
wherever it is a mans run,
as they say. Then for the span
of a day and a night. water flows
upon the thirsty crops on this
mans land.
The sound of running water is
pleasant to the ears in any
country. But no one can fully
understand the delight of it who
has not listened to it in desert
places. We have come to look
forward with eagerness to the
fifteenth of the month, when our
turn for Irritating comes. The
veranda on which we sleep is
very near the weir box. In
spring and fall we are courting
a last nap before sunrise when
the zanjero's horse gallups into
our dreams. Deliciously, half
conscious we hear the heavy
gate swing open on the hill, and
come back to the waking world
on the tide of a gurgling, joyous
stream that heaps against the
measuring boards and dashes
impetuously down to the parch-
ed land below. One comes to
the day with new zest, accom-
panied by such music. However
hot it is, however tiresome the
task, our minds wander into
pleasant ways, catching here
some remnant of dreams, there
the half forgotten memory of
other days by other waters; and

To the Sovereign Voters of Mississippi

In presenting myself as a candidate
for Railroad Commissioner of the Nor
thern District of Mississippi, do so
with a full knowledge Of the duties Of
the office. l also know full well the
responsibility that attaches to an Office
of this character. | have had Is years
experience in the transportation de-
partment of different railroads and feel
that this service will be beneficial to
me if | am elected. | know when the
common carriers are doing their duty
by the public. And l am here to tell
you that the proverbial hens teeth are
not as scarce as the corporations tina,
are now doing or attempting to do their
duty by the public. But if / am cleo
ted, | assure you that it will be the
endeavor of my life to see that they
toe the mark nearer than they have
eve been made to toe it in this district
before. 1t is a crying shame the way
many of the depots and waiting rooms
in this district are kept. Many Of
them are unsanitary to a high degree.
And, my friends, did you observe about
three years ago, just after the last
state election, how the telephone COM
panies raised their rates and took away
the free country service? This is a
matter with which you are all familiar.
And | dare say that none OF you heard
a word of complaint from your railroad
commissioner. If this trick is at
tempted on me after | am elected, you
will hear a kick that will resuund from
the Tennessee line to the Gulf of Mex
leo. The express companies, too, are
running things with a high hand in this
state, and assure you that when ! am
elected-and my friend, l am almost
sure to go into the second primary with
a majority that will assure my trium-
plant e%lection-it is my platform now,
and you will hear from me to the eff
feet that better depots and more ac-
commodations for the travelling public,
lower freight rates, if they can be had,
and lower express rates if there is any
law for lowering them. Don't let the
people tell you that something cannot
be done along this line. 1t can be done,
and if you will elect me | will show
you. A. G. Buford.

WOMAN'S STOMACH
Il Causes Much Misery if Not
Kept in Condition.

MANY women who would not tolerate
ANYTHING but a most ~scrupulousiy clean
kitchen, continue day in and day out
to suffer from an unclean stomach,
where food foments, turns sour and
becomes puLrid.
II is lust as easy for a woman to
keen her stomach clean as to keep her
kitchen clean; in fact, it is much easier,
and does not require hours of toll.
one or two Mi-o-na stomach tablets
tablets after each meal will in a short
time thoroughly clean and renovate the
most distressed stomach. They will
do more: thew will put strength and
mercy into the walls of the stomach,
and cause the juices of digestion to
Aow freely, so that all food will
promptly digest.
Woman, keep your stomach clear
and free from fermenting food, anc
you will find that other ailments, sucf
as nausea, b~iliousness, sick headache
nervousness, sleeplessness, constipa
ton and palpitation OF the heart VIII
disappear.
Hughes, and druggists everywhere
sell Mi-o-na stomach tablets, for onl!
SOC a large box. They are guaranteed
to cure indigestion or any stomach
trouble, or money back. They stol
belching of gas, and after-dinner dis
tress in five minutes. Give them
trial; they won't disappoint you. On
