EASY TO CHANGE THE SCENT
Clever Girl Has Devised Sacnet That

The great trouble of the llhdsome
silk sachcts is that when ie scent

remade. A clever young ~ "ho Is
fond of orri5 root among her beiong'
ings has overcome this difficulty in q
simple manner
She makes her sachet cases OF
strips Of ribbon, weaving two or more
colors together, just as kindersarten
children weave paper. Tho ribbon is
cut in equal lengths, and as many
pieces are necessary as the size OF
the case requires. The best way to
guage this is to decide Oh The size.
then divide it's length by the width
Of the ribbon to show the number OF
pieces and cut each piece little
longer than the width of the case.
Sometimes the ribbons are woven
into a square, again they are made
oblong. The squares are elective
when folded over into triangle when
finished.
The sachet powder is sprlnkled
thickly on the sheets Of cotton batting
q little smaller than the woven case
and slipped inside. Instead OF sewing
It in, the ends Of the cover are tied
with narrow ribbon bows. These are
put on according to the shape OF the
sachet. sometimes at the corners or

should help.
3. Finding a market for stuff
produced is important. This
association, through commit
tees for that purpose, can do
more in that direction than
any or all the merchants. The
merchant may be influenced
by personal interest, the state

tion will carry conviction.

PART OF TAXES
To Be PAID

Santa Fe, Jan. 23.-The last
of the debts of the old New Mex
leo Central system was started
on its way to settlement here
today. This is preparatory, it is
said to the early sale of the road
to capitalists who propose to ex-
tend it through Albuquerque to
the San Juan country. This final
matter is the tax money due for
the last three years owed to sew
eral counties by the system.
Col. E. W. Dobson arrived this
afternoon from Albuquerque, to
represent the road in the hearing.
This will be held tomorrow be-
fore. Judge M. c. Mechem, of So
corro, Judge E. C. Abbott being
disqualified. A. B. Hamilton,
W ho is to represent Torrance
county, has been here all week.
Santa Fe. N. NJ, Jan. "a
The tax case against the New
Central railroad system, which
includes actions for the collection
of the tax assessments of 1910,
1911 and 1912. was partially set
tied today in a hearing before
Judge M. G. Mechem.
The taxes for the first two
years were ordered paid by the
court. AS the attorney for the
receiver, who will have charge
of the matter, desires to contest
the 1912 assessment, that was
allowed to go over for a time.
This assessment was exactly
double that of the preceding
year,

DEVELOPMENT
Assn MEETING

Next Monday, February 3rd
will be held a regular meeting
of the Torrance County Devel
opment Association at Will
lard. The meeting is called for
the hour of ten O'Clock in the
forenoon, which will give time
to dispose of the business and
leave ample time for the mem.
bers to reach their homes be-
fore night.
While we are not informed
as to all the matters that may
come before the meeting, un-
doubtedly the matter of ar
ranging for the printing of an
illustrated book descriptive of
the county to be used for the
information of prospective
settlers, will be one question
that is of sufficient Importance
to demand a large attendance.
If the Association succeeds in
issuing such a book as the
committee have in mind it
will have justified it's existence
if it never accomplishes anoth
er thing.
As far as we know the only
thing at present in existence
which will at all answer for
sending out to inquirers is
small supply of the Illustrated
edition of the News issued in
1910, and that will be exhaust
ed very shortly. There should
be an attendance of two or
three hundred enthusiastic
boosters at this meeting.
The following, written by }.
W. Corbett, chairman of the
advertising mittee is to|
the point:
l. In union there is strength.
In disunion there is retrogres
sion, decay, death. The sue
cess of the old Estancia Devel
opment Association demon
strated the possibilities of
concerted action. Our exper-
ience in later years has proven
the suicidal fallacy of trying
to build up by tearing down.
1t won't work. This fact
should be impressed: We can
not help the other fellow with
out helping ourselves. 1t is e
oually true, we can't hurt the
other fellow without hurting
ourselves. This is as true of
communities as it is indivldu-
ais.
2. We have admitted re-
sources, undeveloped. we
need and must have capital to
develop them. Capital is con
servative, twill not come IN,
to a divided community, 1t
never hunts trouble. Good ad
vertising creates values. Poor
advertising is energy worse
than wasted. The best adver
tising is that backed by a com
munity organization. The
day of bombastic individual
advertising Is past. You can
fool the man you don't want
but YOU can't fool the man

The Freak Spring.

Following an unusually mild winter
marked in this region by practically no
snow and little cold. this spring has been
of exceptional eccentricity and back
wardness. \ short time ago the air was
vibrant with heat and straw hats APP
peared without regard for the calendar
Heavy wear was discarded. Furnaces
were put out of commission. and coal bins
were swept. The season, was declared
open and everybody settled down to
the enjoyment or the endurance of the
warm days. Then came blast from the
northwest and the country shlvered.
Straw hats and overcoats became a COM
mon spectacle in the streets of Washing
ton. There was hasty redonning of
warmer clothing and CRATE fires were
lighted with such fuels could be
scraped together. Nor has this been the
only such experience this spring. Twice
at least have these set-backs occurred
and now the people are wondering
whether anything is really wrong with
the climate. 1t is surely out of joint
temporarily. at least, and it will take
fully a week of steady warmth to con-
vince many that there is nothing seriously
out of adjustment with the north and
south poles, SO recently visited for the
first time in history. No comet is within
range of the earth to account for the de-
rangement of the season. No beard
wagging prophet of evil has seen signs
in the heavens to indicate the visitation
of wrath upon the earth. True, when the
floods occurred in the middle west, close
ly following the cyclonic storms of the
transmssissippi region. there was much
gloomy suggestion of nature infiicting
punishment upon mankind for its sins,
not particularly specified. But just now
there is no portent of evil, and so no
comfort is to be derived even in the sug-
gestion that the eccentricity of the sea-
son has cause beyond the mere vagaries
of the wind and the oddities of the I'M
known electric currents that are supposed
to affect the weather. The only thing to
do is to be prepared for anything any
day. to wear such clothing as may be
Immediately suitable and hope for no
swift change between dawn and dark
that will bring discomfort before there
is chance 10 change. And there must
be broad tolerance for eccentric combi-
nations of costume. Perhaps this freak
spring will go far toward establishing the
straw hat as an article of possible all
year wear.

Will be hundred years since the treaty

Britain and the United States. Rightly

anniversary as significant. as hopeful
as any in the political annals of man

both sides of the Atlantic-and not on
those shores alOne-for the memora BILE
keeping without precedent of it's kind
in history. 1t ought to be, and we
doubt not that it will be, celebrated
in a manner leaving an indelible i'm
preston upon the minds of both the
greater nations concerned and mark
ing at least the sure beginnings of a
new epoch in the thought of the whole
English-speaking world. To say this
may seem to say much. Yet it is not
enough. The orbit of this work is still
wider than the Anglo sph ere,
though that is vast as we know.
For in the modern .chaos Of disputes
there is at least one truth no thinker
can mistake If there were no room for
optimism with regard to the future re-
lations of the two English speaking
powers there would be none for the
rest of the earth. If these two peoples
cannot keep the peace who can?
