Tom Finds Employment.

Tom Finds Employment
 It was in an exceedingly dejected 1 frame of mind that Tom Phinney, alone in Van Vechten's huge six-cylin- der car, made his way to Maiden Lane fin search of Mir Brownlow. The low state of his feelings was in a large measure owing to a condition that had grown really imminent and personal only during the last few minutes; one that meant renunciation of all his past mode of living and realization of necessary readjustment to an uncer- tain future; he had turned over new leaf, foresworR idleness and frivolity, and was going to work!
 Gloomy meditations darkened his handsome face, and in his preoccupa' ton he wasted a good quarter of an hour searching for Brownlow's num- ber In harmony with a fancied DOT trait of the latter's establishment, he directed his attention to the smarter, more modern structures; and it was quite by accident that his eye alighted upon the right place-an indescribably shabby building, age-worn and de- crepit, pinched between two sky scrapers. He stopped the motor and viewed the entrance with doubt and disfavor But there was no mistaking 1t; from the curb, Brownlow's name could be seen on the directory board just inside the entrance.
 There was not even an elevator, so Tom was obliged to climb two flights of stairs, dark and dirty, to suite of dingy offices, in the outer of which two | old, whitehaired clos ks bent over pom | derous ledgers without so much as ! deigning him a glance, and trim | young lady, affording a sharp note of contrast to her surroundings, pounded | upon typewriter. It was she who l recognized his presence with bright, smiling regard, who took his card and disappeared into another room, | and who returned presently to say that Mir. Brownlow would see him at once in his private office.
 The farther Tom went, the more in credible 1t became that this could be the business habitat of the Kohinur's owner-for Tom was familiar with every private craft that acknowledged l New York as its home portland far from being dazzled by bewildering display of precious stones, the sparkle of a diamond here would have been so conspicuous as to be startling,
 To his unobseryant eye there was nothing to indicate what manner of business might be carried on here Brownlow's private room was even dingier and more uninyiting than the outer ofice-for all the world like the husk of a froet-bltten nut of which Brownlow was the wrinkled kernel.

Makes Very
Good Report

A study Of the statistics of th,
length Of school terms in this stat,
compiled by the department Of pub.
lie instruction, shows that at least
eleven OF the counties already have
an average Of a seven-months term
and some have even an average oil
eight months and over.
The average school terms last
year for "a of the 26 counties Of
the state heard from are as follows:
Bernalillo, I'm months; Chaves,
OF; colfax, 80; Curry, 6.s5; Dona
Ana, s.I6; Eddy, 2. 90; Grant, 800;
Guadalupe, ORA; Lincoln, =; Luna
no report; Mora, 6.5; Mckinley,
g; Otero, 7.s4; Quay, 6.I; Rio Ar
riba, $40; Roosevelt, .46; Sando-
val, 7.27; San Juan, 7.o5; San Mi
guel, no report; Santa Fe, SOB,
Sierra, 6 10; Socorro, 1885, Taos,
$50; Torrance g. 90; Union. 5.sa;
Valencia, 7.54.
In reviewing this report, only
one county in the state enjoyed a
longer school term last year than
did coltax county, that of Dona
Ana county. Colfax county came
in a close second and Grant with
a close third.
The school term in Colfax coun-
ty was 80 months for the past year
and it is believed that the present
term will even be greater than the
one reported.

Reports Good Work
By Mine Bureau
Bureau Rescues Many Lives From
Closed Mines; Extensive Work
By Rescue Stations.

The saving Of human life in the
mines, the stopping of millions of
dollars of waste of mineral resourc-
es of the country, and an inventory
OF the wastes that are continuing
are given important consideration
in the fourth annual report ofDr.
Joseph A. Holmes, director Of the
United States Bureau Of Mines,
made public Monday.
According to DR.. Holmes, the
bureau has recorded its most nota-
bic achievement in the rescue of
more than one hundred entombed
miners at different disasters, and
the rescue of many more miners by
volunteers who had been trained
in life saving work by the bureau.
The bureaus influence has further
resulted in the establishment of
rescue and 6rst-aid stations at
hundreds of mines throughout the
country, and the director makes
the statement that the trained res
cuers connected with these stations
will in the future save the lives of
many men. The total number of
miners trained by the bureau has
now reached a4,o75.
Despite the efforts Of the bureau
Of mines, Director Holmes declares
that the loss of life is far greater
than it should be with the natural
hazards of the industry, and makes
plea for more extended investi-
cations on ihe part Of the govern
ment. The humanitarian mo-
tives for undertaking such investi-
cations are obvious" says the di-
rector. "a sufficient economic
reason is that during the past year
more than $500 men were killed
and more than 100, 600 injured in
the mining and metallurgical in
dustries of the country. One-half
OF these fatalities and three-fourths
Of the injuries mny be regarded as
easily preventable. The mouey
loss from the accidents may be es-
timated at not less than sra, ,ooo,-
600 a year, and this loss must be
ultimately paid by the consumers
Of mineral products throughout the
The necessity for a more exten-
sive use Of safety appliances in the
mines is shown by the statement
that in the last FIVE years. through
aek OF such appliances, more than
), 500 men have been killed in the
mines and nearly 40, 900 seriously
injured.

Another RumOr
That Santa Fe
VIII Build On

The following from the, New
Mexican is quite interesting, even
though it must be taken with a
grain Of salt;
That the Santa Fe railroad has
begun to consider the building Of a
main line west via Santa is a good
story which has been bruited about
II is a story which will prove
mighty interesting to Santa Fe
people and the project is not one
beyond reason. The story is that
the Santa Fe will extend its St.
Louis, Rocky Mountain and Paci-
6c line, newly acquired, on from
Ute Park to Taos, thus opening up
a great mineral and timber coun-
try, build from Taos on down the
west side Of the Santa Fe range to
Santa Fe, and thence take a direct
shoot to Gallup, cutting off a big
mileage and tapping a large and
rich section without railroad facili-
ties.

Pharmacy
Board Has
Many Members

Since the establishment OF the
New Mexico Board Of Pharmacy,
in April, 1880. so4 pharmacists
have been registered in this state.
This information appears in a re-
port Of the board just filed with
Governor Mcdonald. This report
covers the period from July 10,
1919, and shows that the present
board has held two meetings and
has registered 7o pharmacists. The
total receipts of the board in the
period covered we're a,os5. ss, and
the expenses sa,so4.Is, leaving a
balance Of s6sI.ao.
The report contains recommen-
dation for an appropriation Of
$1,000 yearly, to be used in enforc-
ing the pharmacy law and check
ing and investigating the state; al
so a recommendation that the fee
for registration by reciprocity or
under the 40 year clause, be rails
ed from $40 to SIS.

Extension Farming
By Government Man
Agricultural Classes To Be Instructed
On Scientific Soil Culture And
The Selection Of Seeds.

The long anticipated innovation
from Anticipated methods Of agri
cultural ex oloitations is about tc
be realized in Colfax county, and
before the year 1915 will have
come to a close, farmers will have
the benefit Of the services rendered
by the United States Department
OF Agriculture, through its extern
sion department.
W The extension department has a
man, in the person Of Mr.. Morn
ingtau, on the ground in Colfax
county, to assist the farmers in
raising better crops both in guam
tity and quality, and to advise the
tillers of the soil as to the best
methods to be employed through
out.
Mr.. Morningtau is an experience
ed farmer and completed his agri-
cultural training in an agricultural
school, several years ago, since
when his services have been sought
and procured by the agricultural
department.
OF incalculahle benefit to the
farmers will be this extension work
cA1ried.on by the department. and
the methods to be employed are
those thai will increase the fertili-
ty Of the soil. by means Of sys
ten Of crop rotation on each farm.
The selection Of proper seeds is
one OF the more potent factors TO
be exploited and, in conjunction
with this, the preparation Of soil
bill be vastly considered as well as
crop cultivation.
Another important feature of the
extension work is the organizing Of
classes among the farmers in every
district where illustrated lectures
will be delivered at different inter
walls, possibly every two weeks
The aim of the department is to
bring farming to ahigher standard
SO that the farmer will receive
greater profit for his labors, and
this can only be accomplished by
scientific soil culture.
Mr.. Morningtau who has his
headquarters in Raton, spent sew
eral days in this vicinity the first
OF the week conversing with farm
ers and becoming acquainted with
them.
