London, May 16.-The militant suf-
fragettes campaign of placing bombs
In public institutions to coerce the
government into granting the parlia-
mentary franchise to women, was car
ried on in several quarters of London
and the procinces today.
A workmanlike canister of explosives
with a clockwork attachment was dis
covered in the Rotherite public library
In Southeast London this moning II
was labeled Votes For Women. Ac-
cording to the belief in some quarters,
it was placed there by man. Indeed
the police suspect that many men
have been engaged by the officers of
the militant ragettes society for
this work.
Another machine was found today in
the letter box of the Wandsworth dis
trict postoffice, Southwest London. 1t
consisted of a glass tube containing a
fluid. partly burned fuse was at
tached to one end. The police declare
the bomb was apparently set there by
militant suffra gettes.
Still another canister of explosives,
with a partly burned fuse was found
today in Holy Trinity church at Has
tings, a popular watering place on the
south coast where the militant suf-
fragettes have been most active dur
ing the past week.
A defeat has been inflicted on the
government by the wild women" in
the matter of suppression of the mill
tant suffragettes' newspaper, the Suf-
fragette.
After Achbold Bodkin, counsel for
the treasury, had announced that the
government would prosecute any one
printing the newspaper in the future,
the labor press and some of the Liber-
al newspapers which are the strong

former socialist member of parliament.
George Lansbury. and the socialist
member. James Kerr Hardie, offered
personally to undertake the publica-
tion of the paper, but the suffragettes
declines their offers with scorn.
Thereupon the home Office issued a
statement declaring that Mr.. Bodkin's
announcement had been misconstrued
and that the women's Social and Po-
liticaI Union or any other publisher
could issue the Suffragett so long as
1T did not contain any indictments to
crime

A KICK BY
OLD FAITHFUL"

Do you all know "Old Faith
fdl?" You all do but likely very
few of you know him by that
name. Old Faithful is the we'll
back of the Hughes Mercantile
Company, and Old Faithful is on
the job with cold, pure water and
lots of it three hundred and
sixty-five and one-fourth days in
each calendar year.
And Old Faithful beats saliva
tion to death. The Good Book
says that salvation is free but it
isn't; we have to pay the means
of grace in the form of
churches, preachers, teachers
and the like, but Old Faithful is
as free as the air, furnishing wa
ter to the evil and the good, the
just and the unjust, the careful
and the careless, the particular
and the needless, with no more
complaint than the occasional
squeak of the rods.
In our neighboring city of
Mountainair. where water is the
only real, fashionable beverage,
you have to pay for that same
water, even when taken from the
public we'll. Old Faithful makes
no charge.
But Old Faithful has a kick
coming and wants to register it
here and now. When you find
Old Faithful's arm off and laid
down for rest he would like it
nightly if you'd leave it that
way. Just because the wind is
resting at that particular moment
Old Faithful doesn't want you to
you to rudely disconnect him and
put his resting arm back on the
job again. And when Old Faith
full is pouring his life giving
stream on the only alfalfa field in
he would trem anduously
appreciate it if you will please
kindly slid the connecting pipe
back under his lips instead of
leaving it open and allowing the
precious stream to run at large
over the expanse of back alley.
In other words and to summar-
ize please do unto Old Faithful
as you would be done by and
Ieave him as you find him.
And please tell your kids not to
use Old Faithful's arms and legs
as a Children's Play Ground. Do
ing hand-springs on his arm
makes him feel badly and weak
ems the old fellows joints.

BEAN GROWERS
ASSOCIATION

AS our readers have no doub
observed, the farmers in the vi
cinity of New Home schoolhoust
last year organized a Bean Grow
ers' association. While the name
would indicate that the objects
of the organization are solely
connected with the bean bust
ness. such is not the case, the in,
tention of the organizers being
to make the association one
which will further the interests
of the farmers in all matters
touching their business.
1t is the intention also to make
the organization countrywide in
its scope, and to that end a
meeting has been called to be
held in Estancia on Saturday,
June 18th. Invitations have been
or will be sent to farmers all
over the county to attend this
meeting. 1t is not expected
that those having the matter in
charge will be able to obtain the
names of all who might wish to
become members of the organi-
zation, and therefore it is not
to be expected that all will re-
ceive invitations through the
mail. For that reason we are
authorized by the officers to
extend a general invitation
through these columns to every
farmer in the county to attend
this meeting. Their presence
and help is desired.
We believe it is the intention
to have an election of new officers
as soon as the membership be-
comes wide enough in its scope
to make it desirable.
1t is also planned to have local
meetings in different parts of
the county after the member
ship sufficiently covers the
county. and to have men from
the state college and elsewhere
to meet with the farmers and
discuss questions of interest to
the farmers.
A constitution has been adopt
ed as a working basis, which is
here printed in full for the in
formation of all who may be in
terested:

SWARM5 Of
GRASSHOPPERS

CLOVIS, N. M., May H-Iht
huge army of grass hoppers, Gov
ering a stretch Of land twenty
miles long and four miles deep
which invaded the state on the
east yesterday, last night
reached Elida and are moving on
Clovis at the rate of about mile
a day.
The citizens here have called a
mass meeting to be held tomor-

Portales will cooperate with

Santa Fe officials left here this

gate the situation.
The grasshoppers are moving
in a straight line and are totally
devastating the country in their
path. They have stripped the
range of all grass and literally
destroyed growing crops.
Washington, May 27-The
grasshopper invasion of north
eastern New Mexico, a telegraph
ic report of which reached the
department of agriculture today
from A. G. Hammer, one of its
is not causing alarm
among officials here.
Professor F. M. Webster, in
charge of the bureau of insect in
vasions, said today the pest was
not likely to spread over a large |
area as it could be successfully
fought because it had not travel
I'd far or done much damage to
crops. The report from Mr..
Hammer shows it is the differ
.ntial grasshupper," not the fast
moving variety, which spread
,ver nearly the entire country in
he eighties.
Mr.. Hammer reports that
bout one hundred square miles,
most of it grazing country and
parsely settled, had been infest-
ID, and that the swarm probably
from one which settled
n that section last fall.
"But a simple means is at hand
or exterminating the plague"
aid Mr.. Webster. ''All the
armers have to do is to make a
mixture known as griddle mix
ure, composed of a half barrel of
lorse manure, one pound of salt
nd one pound of Paris green. If
he manure is not fresh, the salt
hould be dissolved in water.
"The grasshoppers will eat this
eadily and can be poisoned by
he millions. This New Mexican
nvasion need not cause great ,
larm. for it is similar to out
reaks which occur in some parts
f the country every year and ,
which pass away without having
one very wide or very great
amage."

First Road Bill From Umatilla

The first road bill of the ses-
sion. framed on district county
building lines. has been intro
duced in the state senate by
Barrett of Umatilla. 1t is con-
fined to prescribing the manner
in which counties may vote bonds
for road improvement,
Itprovides that upon petition
of one-fourth of the voters of any
county, a special election must
be called, the petition setting out
the amount of the bond issue. If
a petition be signed by one-twen-
tieth of the voters, the county
court may or may not order an
election. If "a petition be signed
by one-tenth of the voters. a vote
must be taken at the succeeding
general election. In either event,
the amount for which a county
may be bonded for road building
must not exceed two per cent of
the assessed value of property in
the county. The bill also pro-
vides for establishing a sinking
fund to redeem the bonds.

Card of Appreciation

We take this means of express
ing oun sincere thanks to the
many who so nobly and heroicaly
fought last Tuesday night to
save our home and property. 1t
is impossible for US to particular
ize in this respect other than to
the fire men. friends and even
strangers. who came to our as
sistance, climbed on the burning
roof and took their lives in their
hands to render service. Our
household goods were not only
removed from danger but also
guarded throughout the night
and replaced the following day.
Mere words seem poor return
for such service, yet this seems
the only means at our command.
