Official opposition met with popu-
lar clamor in other countries and
various were the methods to force
governments to follow Austria's
lead.
Today the postal card is uni
versal. In the United States near
iy 1000, 900, 600 government post.
al cards, enough to supply every
man, woman and child in the coun-
try with 10 apiece. are issued an
nually. Expressed in another way,
it means that the American people
are spending yearly about sro,-
900, 600 to carry on their corre-
spondence by means Of postal
cards. In the 40 years that postal
cards have circulated throughout
the United States their number has
increased nearly 80 times the re-
cord for the first year of their i'm
production in the United States, in
1873, being about $1,000, 900.
Each year Witnessed a gradual
increase in their popularity until
the demand grew too great for the
private print shops that formerly
printed the cards under the con-
tract, and the public printing Office
at Washington took over the task.
Today two great rotary presses,
each capable Of printing, cutting
and distributing the postal cards
into packages Of IS; each package
bound with a paper band, are turn
ing them out at maximum rate of
4, 600, oooo every working day of
eight hours. 1t is claimed that the
picture postcard was born Of the
Franco-German war, the first card
making its appearance in 1870 in
the town OF Madgeburge, in Ger
many. In the last decade the SOU
venir card had not yet been made,
although Germany recently report
ed that in that country alone more
than I, 800, 900, 600 were published
during one, year.

The acreage is not known, but had

the seed it would have been 5a.4.
Although grown in an irrigated
district it received no irrigation.
The special advantages advanced
are; the small amount OF water me-

fact that the stalk remains green

10000 Head
To Ship
This Year

That Cimarron will maintain its
record as a great cattle shipping
center will undoubtedly again come
true this fall when the shipping
will have been completed. 1t is
conservatively estimated that more
than twenty thousand head will be
shipped from here before the sea
season closes, which IS but anoth-
er evidence OF the vastness Of the
cattle industry and the skill with
which il is carried on in this sec
tion. 3
The shipping season Of last year
and those past, showed that more
cattle is shipped from cimarron
than from any other place ia the
northern part Of the state.
Placing a net value Of $50 on
every head that is shipped, which
is a conservative estimate. local
cattle men will be enriched nearly
one million dollars this year as the
fruits OF their labors,

Big Percentage OF Labor In State Is
Performed By Minors; Few Get
Past The Fifth Grade.

That child labor is as much Of a
problem in New Mexico as in the
conges.ed centers Of the country is
the assertion made by those who
have studied the most recent CEN
sus figures and also the school sta
tistics OF New Mexico. The cen
sus bureau finds that in New Mex
leo there are 2,3oa boys between
the ages Of 10 to 10, or 10. 9 per
cent Of the total number, who are
engaged in gainful pursuits. From
IA to IS there are 7,64o boys thus
engaged and I6 to 40, there are
I2,I44 or "a per cent of the total.
Five thousand boys under IS,
therefore ere ont earning their liv-
ing not counting those who help
their parents on the farm or around
the home. OF the girls there are
500 between the ages of 10 and Is
earning their own living. ~ be-
tween the ages of "A and IS and
7,5a4 between the ages Of I6 ond
40. These official statistics are re-
markable when it is remembered
that the compulsory school law re-
quires all persons between the ages
OF 2 and IA 10 attend school, and
that the school census includes all
persons between the ages OF s and
Al. But the statistics grow still
still more alarming when viewed
10 the light Of the school statistics.
Only one out OF every one hum
dred Spanish-American children
gets beyond the fifth grade in
school, mostly on account of the
plea that the parents are too poor
and that the children must learn to
help earn living. If New Mexi-
co is to take a creditable place in
industry, progress, wealth, culture
it is up to the legislature to find a
way, especially Tor Spanish-Amer-
ican children to secure the same
educational advantages as are ac-
corded the children Of English
parents or children in other states.
When one considers that New
Mexico has only 6I,oss men be-

morning and was totally destroyed.
The FIRE department arrived soon
after the alarm was given but the

that all efforts to save any part Of
the structure were futile. The

USUAL RUSH TO
PLACERS AFTER STORM
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Fred Vernon, who is in the city
from Weaver Gulch, states that the
big rains have had the usual result
of sending to the summit of Rich
Hill quite number of placer min
ers, Mexicans principally. After
every storm there is always an
exodus OF the gold seeker, and in
many instances some have been re-
warded with good-sized nuggets. As
yet no returns have been received.
This method has been persistently
followed for the past forty years,
and after each rain it is a settled
fact there will be a dozen to twenty
men climb the steep mountain to
take 4 chance in being rewarded.
Two years ago one Mexican washed
out 4 nugget OF the value of SlSO,
and since that time many of the
value of from $40 to so have been
picked out from under big boulders.
A community of from forty to sew
enty exists solely on the placer
business in that old adobe camp.

mendable step toward correcting al
abuse that has been tolerated toe
long by the merchants of Prescott
The inevitable losses attendant

the losses were eliminated, and the
merchants had free use of the large

The custom OF allowing unlimited
time for the payment of accounts
has long since been abolished else

CAMPBELL QUITS AS
HEAD OF COMMISSION
(From Sundays Da1y)


Hugh Cmapbell of Flagstaff. for
the past six years a member OF the
fair commission, has resigned from
that position, and the resignation
has been accepted by the governor,
according to information which
has leaked out. The matter has
been pending for the past month.
and it was thought that Campbell
might be persuaded to remain on
the commission, but he finally made
both members of the body and
Governor Hunt see otherwise, and
he resignation was accepted.
When first presented to the gov
ernor, the resignation was not &C
,cpted, and Mr.. Campbell was urged
o reconsider. Mr.. Campbell replied
hat because OF the press OF bust
less and of the time he has already
devoted TO the fair, he thought it
only fair to himself and the State
hat he retire and allow other hands
handle State fair matters.
This makes the second vacancy
IN the fair commission, Secretary
Wood having handed IN his resigna-
ion sometime past. The vacancies
will be filed probably on the 10th Il
he present month when the fair
commission will meet. 1t is likely
hat northern man will be chosen
fill the place left vacant by Mr..
Campbell, and that some one from
his county will be the next secrc-
airy, though no definite announce
ment has been made rs to who IS
n line for either appointment.
Mr.. Campbell has served the com.
mission for the past six years, five
Of which were put in as chairman
Of the commission. In all that time
he has given his best services to the
State fair, and has always worked
for the best of the fair and the
State Though others have been
praised as boosters of the show, Mr.
Campbell has been responsible foi
much that the commission has done.
and too much praise cannot be given
him. He retires with the best wishes
OF the commission, the governor and
all who know the brand of work he
has done for the State fair.

HEARST MAY BE
SMITHS OPPONENT.
(From Sundays Daily)


PHOENIX. Jan. 3l-For United
States Senator from Arizona. VII
liam Randolph Hearst.
That Hearst has taken the first
steps to establish a residence in Arr
IONA. preparatory to beginning
campaign for Mark Smiths seat
in the senate. is startling bit of
information which has reached the
capital from reliable sources
Only few weeks ago Hearst
bought the Grand View hotel and
Berry. homestead. on the rim Of the
Grand Canyon, fourteen miles east
OF FL Tovar. His papers all over
the country featured the story. They
stated that Hearst had decided to
build a magnificent home on the
property and spend several months
year there, entertaining distin-
guished guests from all parts Of the
world.
Nothing was said in those stories
to the effect that Hearst had decided
to become citizen of Arizona. but
it is stated on the best OF author
ity that such is his intention He
is now a citizen OF New York.
Years ago he gave up his residence
in California to run for some of
| flee or other III the Empire State.
He did go to congress once from
New York. He tried to be gov
ernor OF the State and mayor oi
New York City and once he ran
for the presidency as a New Yorker.
But New York has no political
future for Willie Randolph. When
it comes to politics he is one of
the small fish in the New York publ
die. Nor is there any chance for
him to switch back to California
and secure political honors.
So Hearst has decided to seek
the comparatively small puddle of
Arizona. where the people may be
tdazzled by his greatness-also his
spending pOwer-and elevate him to
the senate. There he will have just
as much standing as though he
were 4 senator from New York.
It's 4 beautiful dream. But some
body please stick pin into Willie.

ARRAIGN TORRES FOR
MURDER TODAY
(From SATURDAYS D;

(frOm Saturday Dally.)
Safely lodged behind the bars i'll
the county jail, Francisco Torres,
accused OF the murder OF Merigildo
Naredo at Crookton carly in the
week, is awaiting his arraignment
before Justice OF the Peace Charles
II. McLane, this afternoon. Torres
has nothing to say regarding the
shooting and will probably make 1
statement only to the attorney who
may be appointed to conduct his
defense.
County Attorney P. w. O'Sulli-
van has filed a complaint charging
the captive with murder.
As near as can be learned there
were no witnesses to the trag-
edy, which occurred two miles west
of Crookton on Monday morning.
Upon his death bed i'll the county
hospital the victim averred that
Torres had swerved his rifle and
shot him because he scorned his
craftsmanship.
Torres made a clean getaway and
left no trail behind him. The
alert owner of the Nelson wood
camp near Cedar Glade became sus-
picious, however, when Torres APP
peared at his camp and sought en-
ployment. Deputy Sheriff Frank
Bartlett was notified and the arrest
followed.
