Otero Agricultural Club Hears
of New Project
THOROUGHLY ADVERTISE
ADVANTAGES OF VALLEY
And So Enlarge Scope of Work the
Farmers Association Has Been
Doing for Otero County

Dohhk AoA OS~AO Soa"sy
The Otero County Agricultural
association devoted m ost of the
Saturday meeting to discus
sion of the new proposition of
the Arkansas Valley Commercial
association to resolve that body
into an immigration bureau to
take up the work in this valley
that was supposed to have been
done in former years by the now
defunct State Immigration Bureau
and the meeting in many ways
proved most interesting.
Messrs Jenkins and Scribner of
Pueblo, J. P. Newell of Florence
and Horace Dye and j. w. David
son of Manzanola were present at
the meeting for the purpose of
outlining the proposed movement
the sole object of which is to
thoroughly advertise the Arkansas
valley as it was never advertised
before and by the employment of
a first class immigration agent let
the people of other states know
that this valley is the best in the
world. 1t is proposed if possible
to secure the cooperation of all
the five counties and to get the
county commissioners in each of
Ifhe counties to levy tax of from
one-tenth to .one-fifth of mill, the
money so raised to be put into a
general fund to be controlled by
the new bureau, the board of dir
ectors of which will be made up
of one representative from each
county to be named by the county
commissioners.
After all the visitors had beeu
given an opportunity to explain the
benefits of the proposed organiza-
ton several members of the assoc
iation, including President Dye,
j. NJ. Shaulis, John Edgar, VIII.
Allen and several others embrac-
ed the opportunity to impress upon
the minds of the boosters the fact
that Otero county through the
medium of the Ctero County
Agricultural association had done
more to advertise and boost not
only the county but the state, than
any other county in the state,
and also that this association
SO far as the agricultural part
was concerned had made the state
fair what it was and that the as
sociation was still waiting for their
premium money of several years
and as one speaker expressed it
the usage that the association had
received from outsiders had left a
rather sore spot. President Dye
also called attention to the fact
that should this association ask
the county commissioners for this
levy it would be taking just SO
much out of the pockets of the as
sociation as the money from the
advertising levy had been given
to the association in the past and
that the association had applied
for it for the coming year and
were running their experimental
garden with the understanding
that they would get this money.
So far as the plan OF the pro-
posed bureau is concerned there
vas no one present at the meeting
4 but what considered it good one
and OIL motion of G. F. Bnrke, the
z few present endorsed the plan but
voted to leave the matter in the
hands of the board of directors
who will consider the question at
meeting to be held Tuesday and
the board will probably report to
the meeting Saturday their action
in the matter and it is hoped that

\ Parson.

Just before the collection was TAX
en- up one Sunday morning, a negro
clergyman announced that he regret
ted to state that a certain brother
had forgotten TO lock the door of his
his chicken house the night before,
and as a result in the morning he
found that most of the fowls had
disappeared.
Il don't want to be %pussonal,
bredr'n he added, but / hab my
s'picions as to who stole dem chick
ems. | also hav reason TO b'lieyin'
dat If | am right in does s'picions dat
pusson won't put money in de plate
which will now be passed"
The result was a fine collection,
not a single member of the eongrega-
ton feigning sleep. After it was
counted the old parson came for
ward.
Now, b'redr'n he said, Il doan'
want your dinners to be spoilt by
wondering where dat brudder lives
who doan' look up his chickens
at night. Dat brudder doan exist,
nah friends. He was a parable got

A Dull job.

1t was Saturday noon and the
school teacher passing along the road
was surprised to see the ordinarily
overactive Tommy sitting diseonso-
lately beneath a tree in front of the
school house.
why, Tommy. my boy" he said.
pausing on his way, what is the
matter? Anything gone wrong?"
Nope" said Tommy, giving an
impatient wiggle.
Where are the rest of the boys?"
asked the schoolmaster. "They
haven't run away from you have
they?"
Gone home TO lunch" growled
Tommy, trying to talk and whistle
both at the same time.
We'll, why don't you go home to
lunch, too" laughed the teacher.
Cant" said Tommy. You see.
Mr.. slimpsey. we're playin' war, and
I've got to stay here until the other
fellows get back. I'm the armistice.'

Giving PA a Treat.

Mr.. Smith had the habit of light
ing his cigar after dinner. putting 1t
for a while and then laying it down
on the ash tray. Later he would re-
light il and finish his smoke. often
three or four unfinished cigars would
be on the tray.
One day his small son. sitting
nearby, watched his father light one
of the short variety and said:
How do You like that one,
papa"
This, my son. is a very good
cigar" replied the father, blowing
long puffs into the air.

(Not often, though-each moments

And missing stitches leaves the little
mouths. unfed).

low;
A tuft of grass is all it has to
A broken pump, where thirsty child
above, there shines a bit of sky
so small
That it might be a passing bluebird's
wing,
One tree leans up against the high
brick wall,
And there the sparrows twitter of
the spring,
Until they waken in my heart a cry
OF hunger, that no bread can satisfy.
Across the fields, | follow close. To-
day

array,
My work drops down. Across the

And long, with bitter longing, for

Rain freshened paths, where budding

The water trickles from the pump

Upon the stones. With eyes half

1t falling in a pool where rushes
grow,
And feel a cooling presence draw
ing near,
And now the sparrows chirp again.
No, harkl
A singing as of some far meadow

1t is the same old miracle applied
Unto myself, that on the mountain
side
That few small loves and fishes null
tiplied.
Behold, how strange and sweet the
mystery.
The birds. the broken pump, the
gnarled tree
Have brought the fulness of the
spring to me.
For in the leaves that rustic by

All forest finds a tongue, and SO that

The other night | had a dream
Which took me back some years,
Away from cities and to Nell.
Whose memory endears,
Her voice was like the song of
As mellow as the Tyre;
She used to sing so sweetly, too,
Back home in our church choir.
I'd often dreamt l would some day
Return to that old town
And live the simple rustic life
And really settle down.
That | might always hear Nell's
voice.
OF which / could not tire;
She used to sing so sweetly, too,
Back home in our church choir.
Last night. however, my fond
dream
Received an awful blow;
| dropped in on a cabaret
And Nell was in the show
And there she was a-singing rag
In that cafe, for hire,
Who used to sing so sweetly, too,
Back home in our church choir.

You know how it is who have Ia

And worried and fretted all day,
To meet with in person or paper,
The fellow who laughs it away;
Who takes us when least we
expect it
And turns us from sorrow to
cheer.
With a twist of his thought that's so
funny
Our troubles at once disappear.
] tell you he's worth all the ages
Can give him of praise and of
love,
Who has helped us 10 look out of
trouble
To the peace of the blue skies

And to feel hat no matter what
happens
Wen do all We can to go on
With our hope and our faith on the
promise
OF a better day surely TO dawn.
He may not put pence in our purses.
Nor help US grow wealthy and
grand.
But he teaches US all our reverses
Are lessons that help us to stand
In the face of the blight and the
battle
And 90 forth again to the fray
With a spirit of sunshine and laugh

That will chase every trouble
away.

And here's to the soldiers in line.
