TUCUMCARI MAN SHIPS
RABBITS TO DALLAS.

shipped over 1000 rabbits this week to

bringing considerable money into this
section of the county.

to the creamery it probably could not
pay running expenses. Too often To-
c~alities have been led into the erection
of a large plant without reference TO
the number Of cows in the neighbor-
hood. This has caused failures in many
Instances because the creamery could
not pay its running expenses on the
small mount OF output. In some of
these cases a small plant operated by a
competent creameryman could have
been made profitable and developed
into n larger concern as the number of
cows in the locality increased.
The creamery building need not be a
large one nor an expensive one TO be-
gin with. Then as the business grows
and more room is needed the plant can
be enlarged to suit the conditions.
One very common mistake among
crea merry owners is that they secure
men as buttermakers who know very
little or nothing about the scientific
principles of creamery work. Too of
ten the man who will work mt lower
wages is chosen rather han the man
who understands the business and de
serves better pay. Among the prob
lens which The buttermaker has to
contend with are those of controlling
flavor and moisture In butter.

he could not give the slightest clew TO

for having the matter followed up it
declined to take the case.
Meanwhile as his spirits sank his

tered It stealthily so as not to put any
N ON guard. She sat in the dark TIL
long past midnight. but saw nothing
unusual. The next night she went
again TO the shop and sat in the dark.
1t was a forlorn hope sitting there
with only the dim model to see against
the window. IL was perhaps IL o'clock
when she began to feel sleepy. She
shook off the temptation, but despite
her efforts her eyes became heavy.
She pinched herself to keep awake.
Suddenly there was a flash so binding
that she was forced to close her eyes
for a second. and when she opened
them all was darker than ever.
Mrs. Fairchild waited awhile so as
not to alarm any one. then stealthily
left the shop and. going to the nearest
police office. told the officers she
thought there were robbers In the
building where her husband had his
shop. Several of them accompanied
her. she having the good sense to warn
them to make a search with great
caution. They searched every floor. at
last coming to the one where the shop
was located. n man stationed HIM
self on the landing above. one below.
There were but two rooms on a floor.
n the men directed their search to
the rear room back of the shop. The
door was locked. and there was no APP
pearance of a light within. At Mrs.
Fairchild's request the policeman
broke open the door. Directing a
bullseye lantern into the apartment. a
man was seen covering in a corner.
In a table drawer was found a num-
Der of photographs in different stages

room and the shop was "A hole so care
fully made and stopped when not used
that it would never be observed unless
sought for. Holding the light to the
photographs, Mrs. Fairchild YNcognized
at once pictures of her husbands

that he had been photographing Fair
