WOULD OPEN NAVAJO
 LANDS TO SETTLEMENT

House or RopreSenCdClVeS or the United States to allot and open the Navajo Indian and other re- servations to settlers, has been adopted by the legislature of New Mexico. It reads as fol- lows:
 Whereas, that portion of the Navajo Indian Reservation. To- cated in New Mexico, contains over 2,3OO, 1000 acres of land, which is an acreage of about twelve hundred acres for every Indian on such Reservation, which is far in excess of the needs and requirements of such Indians, and far in excess of what is permitted any white settler to secure or occupty, and
 Whereas, large additions have recently been made to the Ji- carilla Apache Indian Reserva- tion, also in Northerwestern New Mexico, which additions are not actually used by the said Indians except for the purpose of leasing to white settlers and residents in the immediate vicinity as pasture lands. and
 Whereas. large forest reserves have been created within New Mexico, over seventy per cent of which contain no forests or mer- chantable timber whatever, but for use and pasturage upon which the ownerss of sheep and cattle in the immediate vicinity are charged heavy rentals. which. places them at a great disadvant- age in competition with other stock raisers who enjoy the pri- vilege of free range. and
 Whereas, tracts of land have been withdrawn from entry for the purpose of power sites far in excess of the amount needed for such purpose, and
 Whereas, other large acres have been withdrawn from settle ment for the purpose of classifi- cation as to whether or not it is coal, oil CT mineral land, and such classification delayed from time to time by the Department thus preventing the occupation and settlement of the land under the Homestead and Desert Land Laws. except iD a restricted and unsatisfactory manner, thus preventing the settlement of large acres of land. and
 Whereas. all of these reserva- tions and withdrawals have great ly retarded the development of New Mexico by preventing the residents and people of said State from securing the wood and pasturage which they have en joyed for generations, prevent ing the settlement of the State and the building of homes, 10 a large extent restrained the de- velopment of the State in it's agricultural. horticultural and other industries, and
 Whereas, large areas of land are withdrawn as part of recla- nation projects which are not necessary to, but which it has been determined will not become a part of such projects, and the settlement and reclamation of such portions withdrawals there by prevented.
 Now, Therefore. your memor- ialists respectfully request the passage of the act now pending in Congress prohibiting the fur ther withdrawal of the lands of New Mexico for any purpose whatever. and
 Be it Further Resolved, that we request the passage of an Act providing for the allotment of one hundred and sixty acres to each Indian on the Navajo and

IN LESS STRENUOUS TIMES
explanation Of the Difference Be-
tween Domestic Standards Now
and Those Of Long Ago.

In the Woman's Home Companion
there is an interesting presentation OF
the difference that exists between the
domestic standard OF young married
women OF today and those of the past
generation. How did the women OF
the middle class OF a generation or
two ago manage when they could not
Keep help? Following is the answer
quoted from Companion editorial:
They lived according to their
means; they did not set up impossible
standards. and they knew much less
about the science OF bringing up chill
dren. They had no special style to
keep up; gave the children a weekly
bath; kept the table set between
meals; did not serve their meals in
courses. but put all the food on the
table at once; confined their social
anairs to evening calls and parties,
and church suppers. at which they
wore the same black silk dress for at
least two seasons; in short, every
woman did only what she could. and
her friends made 1t easier for her by
doing likewise

Lord Galorey was sympathetic to him.

from the dog and wrestled with him
gently.
Swell little grip he's got. Nice old
pup! Let 1t 90 now!" And he threw
the nut far again. and as the terrier
ran once more Blair thrust his hands
down in his pockets and began softly
to whistle the tune of Mandalay.
