Pure FOOD BILL IS
CONDEMNED BY CLUB
COMMERCIAL BODY TAKES Ac-
TIoN REGARDING LEGlsLA-
TON PENDING IN SANTA FE

Last night at a meeting of the
board of directors of the Las Vegas
Commercial club, a resolution ad-
dressed to the Legislature condemning
the pure food bill now before that
body was passed; plans for the en-
tertainment of T. F. Harrison and a
party of Londoners, who will be visit
ors in Las Vegas in the near future,
were outlined, and DR.. John D. Hess,
whose resignation as secretary of the
club took effect yesterday, made his
final report.
A number Of the wholesale and re-
/ tail merchants of the city appeared
before the board and Millard Browne,
as spokesman for the business men,
requested that the Commercial club
adopt a resolution protesting against
the passage of the pure food bill,
which action was taken by the direc-
tors. The resolution which was ad.
dressed to the state legislature con-
demns the bill as being not practical
and creating a large public expense.
Frank Clark, the well known cattle
man, last night offered the use of his
ranch for the entertainment of The
Englanders, who will arrive in Las
Vegas tomorrow, and promises that
while Mr. Harrison and friends are
guests at his ranch he will show them
western ranch life in the crude. For
the entertainment of the party he will
put on riding and roping stunts and
do all in his power to give them a
touch of local color.
Mr.. Clark's ranch in located near
Antonchico, 35 miles south of this
city, and is one of the big cattle ran
ches in the southwest. He has crew
of real cowboys, and plenty of buck
ing bulls and wild horses. He no
doubt will deliver the goods for the
Britishers. It is probable that after
short visit to the Clark ranch, the
party will be taken to the Hicks ranch
near Santa Rosa. That is if they
care to see any more western life
in the rough. The trip to the Clark
ranch, according to the plans, will be
made by automobile, some Las Vegas
business men accompanying Mr.. Har-
rison and party.
, DIR. Hess report to the directors
consisted principally in detailed re-
port of the financial standing of the
organization. George A. Fleming his
successor assumed charge Of the Of
fee today. The past secretary's re-
signation was made necessary owing
to the fact that he expects to leave
for Missouri next week to be gone for
an indefinite length Of time. During
the incumbency of DR.. Hess the club
has prospered and it is to be regret
ed that the popular secretacy Is ieav-
ing Las Vegas. Mr.. Fleming, DR.
Hess successor in office, was secre
tary several years ago. He is familiar
with the duties of the office and well
fitted for the position.

The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1912-02-22

The farmer is the only man In
the world that can raise farm
products at a loss and still stay
in the business. The business
man that does business at loss
soon goes to the wall; all kinds
of business must yield profit or
else 90 into liquidation. Here is
an object lesson for the farmer
if he will only take it: any pro
duct that the farmer raises, that
does not yield a profit should be
abandoned. Since something to
eat is so high in price, is a good
time for the farmer to raise
plenty for home consumption,
and some to spare; and then the
cotton crop could be reduced
without much effort upon the
part of those engaged in the busl-
ness. and cotton would then
command a price commensurate
with its cost. Farm Co-operator.

VIRGINIA REEL FOR YOUTHS
Known In England as Sir Roger de
CoverIy, Is Enjoyed by Old Peo-
pie as Well as Youngsters.

At almost all children's parties
they finish up with dance which In
America is called the Virginia reel
and in England Sir Roger de Cover
ly. Grown people are just as fond Of
this dance as the youngsters, but it
naturally belongs to the children. as
the idea Of it was taken from a very
old children's game called the shep-
herdess, which Is still very popular
in France.
The children form line and then
the leader stands a little to the left
and the next child little to the right
and they raise theiS hands as high
as their heads and from 4 barrier,
which all the sheep must pass
through. The next child in l'2s be.
comes the shepherdess and calls to
her little lambs to follow her through
the barrier, which they do while sing
ing a little French song.
After the last sheep has passed
safely under the two children that
formed the barrier drop into line at
the end, and the two at the head Of
the line form the next barrier and 80
on. until every child has had turn
at being part of the barrier for the
others to pass under.

A prehistoric forest has been
brought to light by the recent storm
weather and heavy seas at Freshwa-

coast The action of the waves has
resulted in the washing away o. great
quantities of sand, and there is now

Where there was a stretch of un-
broken yellow sand there is now a
mass of black rocks and huge black
gnarled trees. with their roots en-

trunks of these trees in many cases
are in splendid preservation. In some
cases tho wood has simply changed

encrusted with sandstone, and 1t is
probably due to this that they are so

Trappinq Wild Animals.

Perhaps you have never tried to
make a trap, doubtless for the reason
that there is nothing in the city for
you to catch except mice and rats,
and there are traps already provided
for such game. But in the country it
is possible to set traps for rabbits
and such jewellers in the fields, and
one kind of trap is the pitfall. You
rig a pit and cover it with loose
branches and put something good to
eat in the middle, and animals smell
the food and try to get it and fall
through the branches into the hole.
That is what happened on large
scale down in the New York noun

be Joined a rebellion against his own
father, King Henry IL. The rebellion
was crushed and Henry freely forgave
his unnatural son. But ten years later.
Richard was once more up in arms
against his father; joining Henry's
bitter enemy, the king Of France, and
doing all in his power to injure not
only Henry. but also the country he
expected one day to rule.
Richard and the French king at last
conquered Henry and forced him to
sign peace treaty. The shame of be-
ing Inundated by his son was too
much for the old monarch. He died
broken hearted two days after the
treaty was signed. Richard was now
king of England. He had spent most
of his life in France He had not
taken the trouble to learn the English
language
Yet, for the moment, he was re-
morseful over his treatment of his
dead father, and he won much sympa-
thy by weeping in maudlin fashion at
the dead kings tomb. Then, less than
two months after he was crowned, he
left England and joined crusade
which was aimed to win back the Holy
Land from the Saracens.
Richard wanted money for this ven
ture. So he not only overtaxed his peo-
pie, but sold back England's rulership
Of Scotland. which his father had won
by hard fighting. Having done as much
harm to his kingdom in two brief
months as he comfortably could, Rich

more harm than good to the cause OF

Jack Sheppard, the "Dime Novel" Bow

once entered on career of wholesale
robbery. He afterward confessed that
he stole from every one he could.
This sort of thing brought him q Ger
tain notor1ety, but not enough He
was very ordinary, cheap kind of
burglar. So he took to eccentric
feats to get himself talked about. The
dance in the road was but one of sew
eral such antics. He used to dispose
of his plumber through one Jonathan
Wild, who was not only a receiver of
stolen goods but sort of thief catcher
as we'll. When Wild Gaa gotten all
the money possible out of a crook he
would turn the fellow over to Justice.
Thus he made an excellent living in
both ways.
Sheppard quarreled with Wild, who
thereupon set the officers of the law
upon him. Jack was arrested, brought
to trial and condemned to be hanged.
He was locked into one Of the strong
est cells in Newgate prison. For al
ready he had reputation as a clever
jail-braaker. He was handcuffed and
was chained to the cell floor. Yet he
got away. Here is the story (proba-
bly, exaggerated by the writer's of that
day. % his escape:
He freed himself Of his chains. bur-
rowed into the thick, ill.made wall
with such instruments as he could
find at hand. wriggled through the
gap he made in the masonry and
reached an inner yard. There he
climbed chimney and made his way
into a corridor. He forced or picked
the locks Of six doors and came out
at last upon the prison roof Finding
he could not get to the street from
such height, he went back to his cell,
snatched up his blankets, tore and
twisted them into a rope. returned to
The roof and let himself down to safe
ty.
Two weeks later, while he was
drunk, he was recaptured Twice he
escaped, but was too vain and stupid
to keep his freedom. Through drunk
enness or vanity he always made
some blunder that led to bic recap
ture. He was hanged on Nov. 16,
1924. A mob Of 100000 people-from
duchesses to ragpickers-turned out
to see him die.
When one separates the truth from
the masses Of silly legends the won
derful Jack Sheppard appears to have
been a dull. vicious semi-idiot, whose
only cleverness was a real genius for
jail-breaking. Even among the des-
peradoes Of his time he cut a very
poor figure.
