adieu to the fishing pond or old
swimming hole in Clovis, those
Marathon races up and down
the street will be less frequent
after Monday Sept. LIST on
which date school will begin.
The teahers have returned from
their summer vacations and
gained wonderfully in strength
since they last chastised little
Johnny. Some of the young
lady teachers are getting so
good looking that an order will
be promulgated to the effect
that no young man will be al
lowed within two blocks of the
school house unless they have a
written order from Mrs. Nut
ter, countersigned by the other
members of the school board.
Otis Jones will see that this or
der is rigidly enforced.
The old frame school build
ing has been moved to the
west side on the block which
was donated to the school for
the benefit Of the children Of
the west side, and that only
first and primary grades will be
taught there.
The high school building has
been re-seated ia order to make
room for more seats.

AAH@aAA@N AAAR ANAHAAANNAe
The malady Of the age in
America is wastefulness. En-
dowed with a material wealth
unknown in all history. the
American has exploited the nat
ural resources of his country
as no other nation has done.
For a century he has used the
most relentless energy in
draining the soil. the streams,
the forest and the mine. With
destructive spirit he has dug
out and robbed. sawed and
burned. He killed the buffalo
for the hide and left the meat.
He ruined our soil for the pres
ent wheat and sold its fertility.
He devastates our forest and
burns the stumpage. He raises
wheat after wheat and corn
after corn and burns straw and
stalks.
We tried to fool ourselves
with the belief that our soil is
enexhaustible and now we are
awakening to the knowledge that
it is not, and we must pay for
our foolishness. says the Kan
sas Farmer. In our search for
a remedy, we overlook the one
which nature has placed ready
at hand. Livestock is a necs-
sary factor in any system of
permanent agriculture, and we
must establish some permanent
system or fall to the state of
the Chinese.
Material resources beyond.
human computation have been
the heritage Of the American
farmer, and with these wasted
and with the increasing de-
mands Of a population which
grows faster than any ever
grew, he must study ways and
means. His land increases in
value with the pressure of popu-
latiOn, but not in productive
power. His land increases in
value with the pressures of
population, but not in product
i've power. He pays more tax
es and raises smaller crops on
depleted acres. and he must
have relief.
Livestock brings this relief.
It does more. Not only are the
acres enriched, fertility restored
and crops increased by the
growing of livestock, but pros
perity is insured, a new interest
in life developed where littl,
was before. the problem Of the
future American agricultur,
assured and the farm boy KEEP

OIL LYMPIC PASSES
UP QUEENSTOWN
Two Hundred Disappointed Pas
sengers Appeal to White
Star Line Officials.

Queenstown, Ireland, Sept. 25.-The
whole city was stirred today by an
attempt of the White Star liner Olym-
pic to boycott this port following the
example of the Cunard line. Two hun
dred passengers, mostly Americans,
waiting here for the steamer, were or
dered sent out to the ship in old-fash-
ioned tenders that were so antiquated
they could not make the trip in the
heavy sea, and had to turn back. The
passengers returned and disembarked
after they had been taken to smoother
water at Roches Point, where the cap
tain of the Olympic declined to go for
them. Angry passengers under the
Craftsmanship of former United States
William A. Clark held a mass meeting
on the pier and denounced the failure
of the liner TO enter this port, and
decided to send message 10 the White
Star officials demanding that the yes
sci be detained till the passengers are
taken aboard under proper conditions.
The Olympic was still lying off this
port at a late hour.

DEVELOPING GIRL JOB
Mere Difficult Than Making Poor
Ground YieId-GiveS the
Newspaper a Tip.

Plano, Ill, Sept. 25.-When farmers
east of the Missouri river learn to
use scientific fertilizing they need no
longer fear competition from abroad,
Joseph Ewing of Mechanicsburg,
Ohio, told delegates today at the
farmers national congress here. He
said the financing of general soil en-
richment could be done after some
plan formulated by the American
commissioners who made a study of
European agricultural credit systems.
THE present price of women's hearts
and poor cooking are sending more
men to hades than all the saloons" I"
said A. P. Sandell, secretary of agri-
culture of Ohio, in an address. He
declared cultivating women is a big
ger job than making poor ground
yield. He said the newspapers would
do more good if they put in pictures
of boys who win corn raising contests
and girls who take cooking school
prizes than pictures of chorus girls
and prizefghters.
The congress adopted a resolution
demanding an amendment of the ma
tional banking laws to permit rural
banks which to lend money to farm
ers at nominal interest for long per-
iods.

CAMBOA is CHOICE
OF CHURCH PARTY
Mexican Minister of Foreign AT.
fairs Accepts Nomination
for Presidency.

Mexico City. Sept 25.-Tederico
Gamboa. minister Of togelgl an
was yesterday nomfSeted Tor the presF
dency by the Catholic party conven-
ton. General Eugene Rascon was
nominated for the vice presidency.
Both candidates are regarded ss men
of high standing.
Senor Gamboa accepted the candi-
dacy.
Federico Gamboa was a disciple of
Ignacio Mariscal, at one time minister
to the United States. He was sub
secretary of foreign affairs under
Mariscal. Later he became minister
to the Netherlands and has recognized
ability as diplomat. He is a writer
of some note and is about so years of
age.
General Eugene Rascon was min
lister of war under Provisional Presi-
dent De La Barro. He served as mill
itary commander of the district of
Oavaca. He is 65 years of age and
has a long military record
EASCOl " q
of the Catholic party, the selection
of the candidates was made with the
approval of General Huerta and there
fore means the elimination of Huerta
as presidential possibility.
The Catholic party, while supporting
the present administration morally and
financially, it is explained, realized the
frtiIif-- of epdeavoriu0 70 oo1tio,o
General Huerta in office in face of op-
position on the part of the United
States and the consequent inability of
| the government to borrow money. This
| attitude was plainly indicated to Gen
eral Huerta who was brought to real
! ize its consistency and finally sane
toned the proposed nominations and
gave assurances of his support of the
/ ticket. He said that he would not be
the candidate of any other party or
| faction.
The efforts of the Catholic party
/ it is said, have been directed at the Sc
/ lection of men who would be accept
able to the United States The choice
I fell upon Senor Gamboa for the reason
| that he has not been prominently iden
titled with any political party, while
( it is believed that he will have the
confidence of liberal as well as Cath
olics and upon General Rascon who is
regarded as a desirable running mate
fo- similar reasons. He has always
been an army man and has mixed lit
tie in politics.
! He was "a friend of Porfirio Diaz
and was Madero's choice for war min
ister in De LaBarra's cabinet. Since
then he has received proof of conf
dence on the part of the present ad
ministration.
The nominations are of unusual in
portance, because the Catholic party
is the only real political party having
a faT-reaching organization. Its rami
fications extend practically to every
village and hamlet in the republic.

Insured in Mutual and
Marine Companies to
be Exempted.
CONFEREES so DECIDE
To Report Disagreement on Pro-
posed Levy on Trades in
Cotton Futures.

Washington, D. c., Sept 25.-Inter-
est centered today about the decision
of the tariff conference to exempt
from the income tax premiums on
mutual life policies returned to hold
ers as dividends, all life companies
to be treated similarly.
The conferees agreed upon $4,000 as
the amount of the income of a single
man to be exempt from tax and $4,000
for married man.
The conferees late yesterday came to
final disagreement over the proposed
tax on trades in cotton futures. 1t
was found impossible to agree either
upon the Clarke amendment, adopted
by the senate, of the compromise
known as the Smith-Lever-Burleso
plan.
After a conference at the White
house, participated in by President
Wilson, Senator Simmons and Repre-
sentative Underwood and a long de-
bate in the conference committee 1t
was decided to report a disagreement
to both houses of congress.
The conference report upon the bal
ance of the tariff bill will be complete.
ly harmoniously when the measure
gets back to the senate and house.
1t will be accompanied by a report
that no agreement could be reached
upon the so-called Clarke amendment,
| imposing a tax of so cents per bale
on cotton sold for future delivery but
not delivered. 1t was predicted that
strong movement in behalf OF the
compromise plan that has received gen.
eral endorsement from southern sena-
| tors and a campaign will be started
for it soon.
SUPPORTED BY HOUSE.
The compromise would compel all
contracts to specify government grades
and would compel delivery of the cot
ton TO be at that grade, or close to 1t,
the difference to be settled at the pre-
vailing commercial prices This plan,
modelled on the bill of Senator Smith
of South Carolina and perfected by
Postmaster General Burleson, Repre-
sentative Lever, Senator Hoke Smith
and others, has the strong support of
several of the house conferees.
AS a result of the conference with
President Wilson, the committee also
settled finally the foreign policy involv-
ed in the tariff BILL
The most important developments
were: Agreement on the per cent
tariff rebate on goods brought in Amer
ican-owned ships with provision that
it should not affect countries with
which the United States has treaties
prohibiting such determinations.
Defeat of the retaliatory tariff pro-
vision of the senate, that would au-
thorize the president to assess extra
tariff duties on GER ain articles from
countries discriminating against the
United States. Defeat of the anti-child
labor provision that would have OK
cluded foreign goods made by child
labor The house provision excluding
convict made goods was retained.
CRITICISM CONTINUES.
Further criticism of the currency
bill from the viewpoint of business
interests of the middle west was pre-
sented today to the senate banking
committee. 1t was pointed out that
the bill would be ineffective in the
middle west because none but paper
maturing in 80 days will be available
to discount.
