happy hour in which hubby took
the same Joy in rushing home to
describe one of Matty's curves to
WHEY as he does in standing with
one foot on the brass rail and tell
ing it all to the barkeep 1t is also
pleasant to think Of wiley holding
husband spellbound of an evening
while she recounts to him the va
rious plays Of the game she saw,
and that he couldn't get off to see.
Nobody Will deny that the mar
riage tie would be strengthened if
husband and wife had a mutual
fad, and took their pleasures TO-
gether instead Of singly. Nor is
there any arguing the question that
the deadly dull conversation that
prevails i'm the home would be en-
livened by having a topic in which
both husband and wife We're inter
ested. and if baseball viii do this,
heaven speed the day when every
woman win be a rooter for the ma
tionai game
But why should women always
be told to interest themselves in the
subjects that interest their hus-
bands. while nobody ever advises a
man to try to take any real heart
interest in the subjects that in
terest his wife? Isn't it Just as
much up to a man to try to enter
tain his wife as it is to her to try
TO make herself agreeable to him?

ANOTHER ONE IN MEXICO.

The prediction made by this paper
when Mexico launched its revolu-
ton to overthrow Diaz, that, with
new taste of revolt the adjoining
republic would not remain quite for
long at a time, is being quickly
verified.
Hardly had the new conqueror
gained control before incipient re-
volts began and these have gained
gradual Roadway until Uncle Sam
finds it necessary to sit up and
take notice.
The Independent made one more
prediction regarding Mexico: That
affairs in that country would never
become satisfactory or property be
safe until they were controlled by
a stronger nation, and that the
United States was the logical solu-
ton of power for control.
Mexico could not only properly be
under Gus espionage, but would, in
the broadcast sense, meet the re-
quiremnets of expansion. 1t is a
country of vast acreage and rich
ness, but little developed. Its peo-
pie are those of monana, and with
chem tomorrow never comes, unless
they are under the excitement of a
revolution.
The wealth of the world has
sought ingress to Develop the re
sources of Mexico, and while many
millions have been invested on a
hazard. much more has refused to
take q chance with the little assur-
ance of protection offered.
We still believe that this nation
will sooner or later open the way
for more safe investments that are
crying for a chance to Develop that
wonderful land.

There are lots of fads which show
off better in an advertisement than
anywhere else. In most of the farm
magazines enc can read of the for
tunes to be made in muchrooms,
squad pigeons, Belgian hares, etc,
while as a matter of fact, none of
these should be undertaken but as a
side-line on a farm. The greatest
of all these possibilities is poultry
and it has been well proven that
poultry as a special business has on
ly very limited possibilities in the
wav of profits. Poultry raising on
town lot is about as profitable
as paying the expenses of keeping an
automobile. 1t is alright for those
people who like poultry pets and
feel that they can afford it to
have some nice chickens; but to de-
velop properly and make the owner
littel profit, they must be on the
farm, where they have room enough
to be healthy and forage in part for
themselves.

AS result of break in the
postoffice block furnace last Satur-
day morning, there is a chilly bunch
doing business on both floors of that
building this week There was a
chance for a stove in the postoffice
room and also for one in the hall
up stairs, which lends some aid in
the matter of modifying the temper
allure. The postoffice loafer, how
ever. is temporarily routed. II is
hoped to have the necessary repairs
for the furnace by next week.

LIZARD HEAD STILL STANDS.

Shall the mountain come to Mahomet?
In the West sensational newspaper
writer's seem 20 be determined that it
shall, if the prophet happens to be near
the foot of the peak. Of late we have
read numerous stories of sliding noun
tains. slipping mountains, the demoli-
ton of the cross on the Mount of the
Holy Cross (Which WIS conclusively
proved untrue), etc, etc. And to these
was recently added plausible tale to
the effect that Lizsrd Head latitude
10. 1856 feeD, one of the most striking
peaks in southwestern Colorado, on the
Rio Grande Southern Railroad. had
yielded to the force of gravity and top
pied over, or at least great portion of
it. But, alas for the credulous news
paper man! The railroad superinten-
dent now states authoritatively that
the published report of the accident
was due to a joke perpetrated on the
daily preas, which innocently published
the item; and. it being a most attract
i've calamity. the news was reprinted
broadcast throughout the land. How
ever, the huge head still stands, nose
upward, and, having never been scaled,
presents a tantalizing challenge to
American mountain climbers. Who will
be the first on the summit?

A writer in Outdoor Life de-
scribes a beetle in Southern Calf
ornia which always stands on its
head when any noise occurs in its
yicfaity. This beetle is about an inch
long and by standing on its head
when a noise occurs. seems to wish
to attract attention to itself as be-
ing responsible for the noise. The
writer humorously compares II with
certain political reformers who, like
the bug, at once rear up on their
heads whenever they believe they
hear the striking of popular chord,
in order to show their concurrence,
If not responsibility.

Some paper has dared to suggest
that Gov. Shafroth cut off 9,4OO
from the S11, 900 salary of Oil
Inspector Claude Street, and save
that much to the pepopple. Street,
semes, is holding over from pre-
vious two-years' term, and the gov
ernor is allowing him to do so instead
of appointing under the new law
which places the salary If the oil
inspector at 81 500. Street always
has shown pretty plenty of evidence
of being political CRATER. He is
the fellow who made charges against
fellow members of the legislature
about eight years ago and was made
TO sign written statements that he
had no grounds nor evidence what
ever for the charges he had made
II was that or get kicked out OF the
legislature. This same Street we
now find occupying an official ap
pointment under Governor Shafroth
and being allowed to draw $11 900
a year for n $1,000 job.

According to the Grand junction
News, a man of that town became
so absorbed in the recollection of
ballet dancer he had just seen on the
stage, that, upon leaving the thea
tire, he ran his head through a glass
door, shattering the PANEL and bad
ly cutting his face. That fellow
