"Why Don't They Eat Cake?'

Judge Gary uttered a note of warning at the LehIgh club dinner which men of power and money will do we'll to heed, says the Du luth Herald.
 Said he: There are things said at the present time akin to things said just prior to the French ievo lution, and in my opinion there is danger. 1 do not want to raise the flag of distress, but the situation appears serious to me. Unless cap italists, corporations, men of great wealth and power take a leading position in improving conditions from time to time, there will he changes made later on by the mob :" There was no lack of warnings of the upheavel that eliminated in the Reign of Terror. It was not the brutality of the mob, but the blindness of the priviledged classes that created the terror. For a cen tury under the old regime there were signs that the conditions which then existed could not last forever. But monarchs and nobles danced light-heartedly on the thin covering of ths volcano. The changes that were made by Dan- ton, Robespierre and Marat might have been made by royalty and the nobility if they had had vision enough to see that changes must come. -

Promoting Drinking Water

Toilers in the Lawrence mills were charged 5 cents a week each for drinking water. By putting the fluid at this figure it was brought within the reach of all. and the appearance of charity was eliminated.
 The water came from an adjacent canal. Canal water may be all right for drinking. but natural human prejudice would favor another source.
 Demanding a price for this water or for any water, was a course lay ing the management open to the grating on the poverty maintained at starvation plane by the simple method of beggarly pay, but the managemement did not care fol this. Nobly and unblushingly il wrested the reluctant nickels, no' appalled, by the fact that every nickel represented clear profit O 5 cents.

The Kansas Zephyr

Once a Ramsay zephyr strayed Where brass-eyed bird pup
 played, And that foolish canine bayed At that zephyr in a gay, Semi-idiotic way. Then that zephyr, in about Half iiffy, took that pup, Tipped him over, wrong side up; Then it turned him wrong side out, And 1t calmly journeyed thence With barn and string of fence.
 MORAL When communities turn loose Social forces that produce The disorder of gale, Act upon the well.known law Face the breeze, but close your
 jaw. It's rule that will not fail If you bay it in gay, Self sufficient sort of way, It will land you without doubt, Upside down and wrong side out. Il Eugene F. Ware.

$13O,O0O WILL BE
 REVENUE OF FORESTS

According to figures compiled by an Albuquerque forest service ofii- cer, it is likely that the sum of $13O.000 will annually be distrib- uted into the treasuries of this state and of Arizona as revenue from the state and school sections lying within the borders of the na- tional forests, says the Albuquerque Journal.
 Under the terms of Admission of New Mexico and Arizona into state hood it was provided that. in addi- tion to sections 16 and 36, already recognized as school sections, sec tions 2 and 32 will also be granted the states. Wherever these sec tions lie within national forests, it is further provided that the same proportionate part, which the area of this, state land within the forests bears to the total forest area in the state, the same proportion of the total gross receipts from the ns- tionai forests will be refunded to the state. Since there are four sec tions in every township, this will mean that in addition to the 25 per cent which it at present, under the law, refunded to the state for school and road purposes, approxi- mately one ninth of the gross re- ceipts will be added to the refund returned to the statee, or about II per cent, making a total of 36 per cent.
 Where these sectiors lie within national forests, under the terms of the ena abling act, they will be ad- ministered in the same manner as national forest land and refund of the receipts will be made at the end of each fiscal year by the secretary of the treasury to the state as in come for it's common school fund.
 The leases heretofore granted by each of the territories for the use of school sections have now expired and applications for future use should be made to the forest ser vice authorities. The provisions of the act cover the area of land granted to the state for school pur- poses, which ia situated within the forests. whether surveyed or unsur- veyed. for which no indemnity has been selected. The area of the na- tional forests in New Mexico eov- CTS approximately 10,97l,711 acres, and in Arizona 15. 5.250.130 acres.
 It is estimated that the receipts to Arizona and New Mexico from the forest service under the new provision will amount to over $130,O00 for the fiscal year ending l this June

Many matrons also disapprove
heartily of these new dances. "
A description of the dance is

with the recommendation of G.

for in grain, and not in money.
