THE NEW FASHIONED TEACHING

(Kate Upson Clark in Leslie's.)
1t may be that some of you are go
ing to teach or are teachers already
Teaching, like every other calling,
has its fads Beware of taking them
too seriously, and losing your COM
mon sense in pursuing them. Here
is a little story which will tell you
why: Two little girls of s or were
on their way TO school.the other day,
when lady walking behind them
heard one cay to the other: "Oh,
dear, 1 hate the multiplication ta-
BILE. We've got to learn the sevens
today and I know I never can"
Multiplication tablet" sneered the
other little girl loftily. 1--WE don't
study such old-fashioned things lin
our school"
Don't you? What do you study?"
"Our lesson today is about Bud
dha," said the new-fashioned child
with an air of proud satisfaction.

ton and it is interesting to note how
his announcement is being received
The st. Louis Post Despatch, a
southern paper. has the following
comment:
Crop makers have the call over
money lenders with the Wilson ad-
ministration. Secretary McAdoo has
met the New York pirates" as Ben
TilInan calls them, squarely in the
middle Of the road with his plan to
deposit Federal funds in Western and
Southern banks to help move the

'why not? Why shouldn't the

TIt may or may not be true, as
charged, that certain great Eastern
banking interests are once more SUBJ
tly scheming to bring on a financial
pinch, to enrich themselves in crop
moving crisis at the cost of the farm
ers, and to frighten congress out OF
passing the administration currency
bill. II it is true, and the Wilson ad-
ministration believes it is, then Sec
retary McAdoo has made the only
answer that could be made by gov

money lenders"
Here is the way the matter Is re-
garded by the Spokesman Review, a
representative northwestern paper:
THE proposed action Of the United
States treasury appears judicious. II

DIED

J. M. Elgin, whose illness was
mentioned last week, died last
night. He had been suffering
for some time with cirrhosis or
hardening of the liver, but his
heart was also badly affected and
it is probable that the heart
trouble was the immediate cause
of his death.
He was. past eighty-two years
of age.
1t is probable that the remains
will be taken back to his home
for burial.

WATER

The report came here Tuesday
or got circulated Tuesday, tina
some parties drilling a deep vel
in the Barton district, struck 6
flow of artesian water at a depth
of six or eight hundred feet, ano
that the we'll also flowed a con.
siderable amount of oil, which
was afterward shut off by the
water.
E. G. Hays who was working
somewhere in that country, is
said to have seen the we'll, and
told others who brought the
news here.
We hope it is true. but cannot
verify the report at this writing.
The scene of the reported
strike is about thirty-five miles
northwest of here, probably just
over the line in Bernalillo county.

Moriarty Messenger, who is in

REPORT ON

In a voluminous report filed in
the district court for Santa Fe
county, Judge Lorin G. Collins,
special master, finds, among eth
er things, that bonds to the
amount of twelve hundred thou
sand dollars, issued by the Albu-
querque Eastern Railway compa-
ny, prior to its merger with the
Santa Fe Central, and delivered
to C. C. Murray, receiver of the
Enterprise National bank of
Pittsburgh, are invalid and not
a binding obligation against the
company. That Mr.. Murray, as
receiver of the bank. received
the said bonds, charged with full
knowledge of their invalidity;
that M. W. Flournoy, receiver of
the Dominion Construction com
pany, and ]. Van Vechten Olcott,
receiver of the Ferguson Con-
struction company, should be de-
clared to have a first lien upon
the property of the Albuquerque
Eastern railway owned by the
said company at the time of its
merger with the New Mexico
Central railroad, and that the
said property should be sold by
an officer of the court and that

proceeds of said sale, after de-
Quoting the usual costs, to the
extent of $188, 500, should be
paid over to Mr.. Flournoy as re-
ceiver of the Dominion Construc-
ton company, any sum remain

work of construction until June.
1905, grading a roadbed for
eighteen miles westward from
Moriarty and ten miles eastward
from Albuquerque, or seventeen
miles less than the amount nee
essary to complete the line
from Albuquerque to Moriarty.
In June, 1905, owing to lack of
funds, the company was forced
to discontinue and abandon the
work.

toward the construction of the

COULD YOU DO
THIS STUNT?

A young man who gives hi.
name as Frank Miller was
brought here last Saturday anc
is being cared for at the Jail by
the county authorities.
His case well illustrates the
excess of nerve and endurance
which some men have over 9TH
ers.
According to his story he ar
rived at Duran Friday night rid
ing the trucks of a freight train.
He was cold and stiff from his
cramped position and during the
stop got out to stretch his limbs
and restore circulation. AS the
train started he attempted to re-
sumo his reserved seat, but
missed his hold. He thinks the
axle caught him and gave him a
few turns, and that several cars
passed over him before he caught
on again. He hung on until the
train reached Torrance, when he
got out and lay by the track a
couple of hours before his cries
attracted the attention of the
night operator. He was brought
here Saturday, but the county
physician was absent and he did |
not get surgical attention until
DR.. WiedeRanders' return on
Monday. 1t was then found that |
he had sustained a dislocated
shoulder, dislocated hip, COM
pound fracture of the ankle, be-
sides numerous severe bruises
and abrasions all over the body.
He is now getting along all right
and has endured what must have
been extreme suffering with a
stoicism worthy a Spartan.
He received emergency treat
ment at Torrance, but his dislo-
cations and fractures were not
reduced until Monday evening.
He says his people live in Ger
many and that he has no rela-
tives in this country.
He has called for German pa
pers to read but this office is un-
able to supply them.

A CHANCE
FOR WOMEN

Here is a chance for the wo
t men on the farms to tell the gov
! ernment officials what the gov
ernment can do for the farm
women. The letter was received
by G. M. Milbourn, official crop
reporter for this vicinity.
j "Ladies:-The Department of
Agriculture is in receipt of a let
ter in which the writer said:
The farm woman has been
the most neglected factor in the
rural problem and she has been
especially neglected by the ma
tional Department of Agricul-
ture. "
This letter was written not by
a woman but by a broad. minded
man so thoroughly in touch with
the agricultural and domestic
needs of the country that his
opinions have great weight.
The Department of Argricul-
ture certainly wishes to render
directly to the women of the
United States the full aid and
service which their important
place in Agricultural production
warrants.
Because we believe that these
women themselves are best fitted
to tell the department how it can
improve its service for them, l
respectfully request that you
give careful thought to this mat
ter. Then please communicate
your ideas to me in the enclosed
franked envelope.
Your answers may state your
own personal views, or even bet
ter, you may first discuss the
question with your women neigh
oors or in your church societies
,r women's organizations and
Iubmit an answer representing
he combined opinions of the wo-
nen of your entire community.
You are, of course, at liberty to
;riticise freely, but l would es-
'ecially urge that you try to
make your suggestions construc-
i've ones that we can at once put
nto effect. All of your sugges-
ions will be carefully read and
onsidered by Government
pecialists. Many of them will
e carried out at once, others as
oon as the information sought
an be gathered and the neces-
ary machinery for its distribu-
ion made ready. Such sugges-
ions as call for the revision of
xisting laws or additional legis-
ltion, will be referred to the
roper committees of the Senate
nd the House of Representa-
yes.
Answers to this inquiry should
each me not later than Novem-
er Is, 1918. All answers should
e written on only one side of the
aper and should be as concise as
is possible to make them.
In order to serve the women of
lie country, the Department
ON time to time will insert in
lie weekly issue of the News
tier to the Official Crop Core
,ondent special paragraphs or
,ecial supplement pages of di-
,ct interest to women.

According to Colonel Glenn's estimate
the company could travel at the rate OF
