HALLOWEEN PARTY

The Halloween party given
by Miss Annie Porter on last
Friday evening was an unusually
pleasant affair.
The rooms were appropriately
decorated with numerous Ian
terms, candles, bats, and other
emblems suitable to the night
of mystery" Even the witch
was there, natural as life.
The evenings prin cipal amuse-
ment was one of great invention
and many were the guesses as to
who was who, for the ladies were
spookiskly array ed in flowing
white robes and masked. The
gentlemen were hooded, head
and shoulders, in the garb of the
black cat. After the masque-
rade, fortunes were told from
the book of fate"
The table of refreshments also
gave unmistakable signs of a
witch's presence. The central
dish for each plate being that of
a red apple followed as a CUP.
This novel receptacle was filled
with fruitsauce and whipped
cream. The doughnuts, too, were
80 delicious that the memory of
it fingers yet. Popcorn and coffee
also were given due share of at
tention.

With Mountainair, Willard, Es-

all pulling together for Torrance
County and the Estancia Valley
great strides will be made to-
ward making our county one of

In order to create market for
our beans, the association will
need money and with Mr.. Hol-
loway's plan, if adopted, about
10, 1000 pounds of beans, not to be
sold but given away. When we
once establish a demand for the
Estancia Valley bean. Estancia
Valley farmers will find ready
market for all the frijoles they
raise.
When asked to contribute
either money or beans, don't
see how little you can get away
with, but stretch little if nee
essary, for it means helping
everybody and helping you in a
way you could not help yourself.
The burden will not be great on

'thers. However, no man wants

BIG DEMOCRATIC
VICTORY

The general election Tuesday
resulted in a victory for the Dem
ocrats unprecedented in the his.
tory of that party. From one
point of view it was not so much
a Democratic victory as a Repub-
lican disaster due to the split in
the party. When the popular
vote is tailed up it is not likely
that it will show Wilson'S vote
to be much if any in excess of
that cast for Taft and Roose-
welt.
But the result in the electoral
college is certainly an extin-
guisher.
From returns available as we
go to press it appears that Taft
carried only three states with an
electoral vote of 12-Idaho, Utah
Vermont.
Roosevelt appears to have
carried but six states. but they
are states with bigger electoral
votes, totaling 102- Washington.
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois,
Minnesota and South Dakota.
Wilson appears to have carried
80 states, all the balance except
those mentioned above, with ALB
electoral votes.
The Democrats will as a mat
ter of course have a beastiy ma :
jority in the lower house of con-
gress. and it is quite probable
that they will win enough seats
in the senate to control that bo-
dy. If this happens it will give
them a free hand to carry out |
any program which they may be )
able to agree upon.
Uncle Joe" Cannon of Illinois, |
went down in the wreck. This l
is poetic justice, for he more 4
than any other one man, is re- I
sponsible for the conditions 4
which led to the crushing defeat
of his party. l
In the state of New Mexico '
Wilson has an estimated plurality II
of nearly 1000, and Ferguson
about 5, 900. l
The vote was generally light Y
over the state, due, no doubt, to q
many voters being away from T

it made up in enthusiasm.

'Merkle" said Lynch. Il consider one
of the most wonderful men that ever
broke into baseball. He is man in every
sense of the word. His heart is as big as
that of an Ok otherwise he wouldn't be
in major league company today. How
many professional baseball players do you
think could have stood the panning and
the roasting and the abuse heaped upon
the head of this young gentleman after
he failed TO touch second base in that
memorable game of 1908? III tell you
Not one in ten. No. not one in 80.
You cannot find many better first base
men today than Merkle. Why? Simply
because he realized his mistake and de-
cided to live ii down by deeds of worth
He didn't sulk. He didn't SLOUGH. He
held high head and kept a stiff upper
lip. And instead of worrying over that
one mistake as most fellows would have
done, he profted by his experience and
let 1t stand as a warning. His game i'm
proved He was a far better first base
man in 1909 than in 1908; far better still
in 1910. This year he is among the best
in the game. | take my hat off to Mer-
kle He's the proper stuff He'll be bet
ter still in 1913"
Tom Lynch comes pretty near to know
ing what he's talking about before he
ever expresses himself. No one versed in
baseball will deny that Merkle ranks
among the first three baseball's first base
guardians. That is an honor indeed for
a youngster that the fans were trying to
hound back to the brush four short sum
mers ago But then he was unfortunate.

Indeed, If the subsequent play had been
reEearsed 1t could not have been better
played into Chicago's hand
Chicago lost its protest over Pittsburg s
victory because Hank ODay, who was

tipped its mitt by the ruction 1t raised

true that the Giants were entitled to the

Yet technicalties have lost empires as

That was a painful afternoon for Nc

chief was depending upon him to make

That one fatal slip up mas been beacon

The pennant of 1908 is OF little concern to

pies will repeat such neglect in the
