Atesia Chamber Of Commerce
Wants Them to Go to the
PeCos Valley and Show the
People How to Raise Crops

The Pecos Valley News says
there will be a flood of Japs into
the Pecos Valley this fall and next
year, if the Artesia chamber of COM
merce has its way about the matter.
Acting on. advices from Mr.. F. J.
Aukins, who is now in California
looking over the Japanese situa-
lion, the chamber of commerce thor
Jugnly discussed the matter at a
meeting last Tuesday night, and it
vas the consensus of opinion that
he Pecos Valley would do well to
get number of Japanese farmers
20 locate here and practice inten-
'ive farming as it is carried on in
California today.
1t seems that the Japs in Cali
fornia must dispose of their land
within one year, under terms of the
new alien land law. They are
looking for a place to settle where
they can own land and homes. Mr..
Lukins is acquainted with the edi-
tor of the most prominent Japan
sse newspapers on the west coast,
oAN SlA bdSh Allll' IL l4AeLhAhE al Ol-
fort TO bring a number of Japs to
Artesia, exchanging their land in
California for land in the Middle
Valley.
There are some Japs at Lake
wood who are making record-break-
ing crops with their cantaloupes and
onions. There are more scattered
throughout the irrigated section of
the southwest, and everywhere their
little farms are models. 1t would
be mighty good thing for this sec
tion of the country to have few
or them in here in the truck garden
ing business.
1t is probable that a representa-
ii We of the Japanese on the west
coast will accompany Mr.. Lukins
back from California to make a
lose study Of the conditions in the
Pecos Valley, with a view to locat-
'ng number of his fellow country
men in the valley on farms.

Capt. Jesse B. Jones, State Game and
Fish Commissioner, while making a
trip through Rails County last week
looking after violations of the game
and fish laws, captured a city detect
i've who was relieving the monotony
of an assignment in the rural districts
by shooting doves and squirrels.
Capt. Jones ran across him in the
woods and asked to see his license to
hunt, and as he had none hailed him
before the nearest Justice of the
Peace, who fined him $25 and costs,
making $35 in all.
The identity Of the man was dis
closed when he got into the Justice
Court. His name was w. T. Hagar,
and he was detective employed by
the Anti-Saloon League to ferret out
violations of the liquor laws.

Patient May Feel It In Limb That Has

Pain sometimes behaves IN curl
Gus fashion. There was a soldier IN
London, after the Boer war, who COM
planned of excruciating neuralgia pains
in his right foot. This very much
amused his friends, for he had lost his
right leg.
The explanation was that the pain
happened to be in the trunks Of those
nerves, which had sent branches to
the foot.
Sometimes a patient comes to a
doctor complaining Of pain in the
knee, and he is greatly surprised when
the doctor tells him that the site Of
the affection is not the knee, but the
hip. We are all familiar with the
pain under the shoulder blade which
comes from an afflicted liver.
The stomach, too. can produce pain
in many parts Of the body. A disor-

Yes; It is our only chance" In her
eyes a steady glow replaced the vary
ing lights, and, getting up with sud-
den air Of determination, Nanette
crossed the room to where. near the
door, stood a small desk. Glancing
quickly around, sheseated herself and.

carefully and somewhat laboriously a
few words. She had finished and
was contemplating the result of her
eager efforts when hand at the door

work from the floor, turned partly
away and thrust the paper into the
bosom Of her gown.
