Press Comment

Kansas City Journal: The human
nose, according to an eastern physici-
an, is not as dependable as it used
to be. So many things happen these
days without anybody having "smelt
a mouse"
Clinton Herald: The jurist from
Ames killed his chance of being elect
ed governor when he suggested spe-
cial session of the legislature. Let
someone come forward with pledge
to shorten the regular session and he
will go whooping into any Office from
constable to United States senate.
Sioux City Journal: Nobody is salts
fed with those census estimates. They
are all based, it develops, on the per-
centage of increase or decrease
shown from 1900 to 1910. The few
communities that lost population dur
ing that decade are quite sure they
began to gain in 1910 and have been
gaining ever since. Communities that
recorded good gain in 1910 are con-
vinced they have been growing much
more rapidly ever since.
Moline Dispatch: The country is
paying for the radical cuts in the tar
if schedules. If they had brought
reduction in the cost of living the
results would not have been as bad
as they are. The slashing has left

q mathematical animal Subjectively
and effectively he Is great on figures.
They are dealt out to him, and he
deals in them himself. He desires his
square meals to be regulated daily by
the rule of three. In addition, he deals
with his owners indebtedness He is
able to- reduce mortgage to fractions
with amazing rapidly. In measuring
the available contents of pail of slop
he Is lightning calculator.
As q multiplier the pig has no equal,
counting on six to the litter and two

ring accidents, the sow's progeny will
amount to more than 1000 in four

TRIBUTE TO IOWA.

At the recent Pepper memorial ex.
ercises in congress, Speaker Champ
Clark of the House of Representatives
paid the state of Iowa glowing tribute
In the course of his remarks. He said:
Iowa is an imperial commonwealth
and from her entrance into the union
has been as ably represented in the
house. the senate, the cabinet and the
diplomatic and consular service as any
of her sister states. She is one Of the
two states on the sunset side of the
Mississippi to furnish speaker of this
house. She seems to have discovered
at an early date the wisdom of retain
Ing able and faithful men In congress.
Consequently she has always been
prominent in Washington. At one
time she counted among her citizens
the speaker of the house, two cabinet
ministers and the senator longest in
service. In fact. Senator William B.
Allison not only lived to be the nestor
of the senate, but he, of all men, had
the cabinet. William Writ and Albert
history, and he lacked only q few
months of having the longest total
service in house and senate, being ex-
ceeded in that regard only by Sena-
tor Justin Smith Morrill, of Vermont.
Hon. James Wilson, after long ser
vice In the house, held cabinet po-
sition for sixteen years, the longest
period ever served by any member OF
the longest senatorial service in our
Gallatin come next, with twelve years
each.
With his early start. in congress
and his splendid adaptability for the
public service, have no doubt that
had his life been spared, Mr. Pepper
would have ranked with the best of
them. A multitude of people believe
that he would have been elected to the
senate this fall; but just when his
hopes were highest he was cut of I'M
timely-a great loss to his state and
to his cOllntry.'

NEW BASKET GALL TEAM TO
De ORGANIZED IN oEMlMG

In order to keep up the reputation
of Deming along the line of athletics,
number Of our most prominent
young ladies met at the home of Miss
Fay McKeyes on West Spruce street
recently and made plans for a girls
basket ball team. From the enthu-
siasm shown at this meeting by the
"oung ladies, it is the oninion that
these girls will spring a surprise on
the public this year, providing this
energetic bunch Of athletes receive
the support and help Of the citizens
of Deming.
@. E. Robertson, the business man.
ager Of the team, who has had quite
a bit Of experience with basket ball
teams, has promised to secure some
Of the best teams in this part Of the
country, as well as some other sur
prises for the fans. At this writing
negotiations are under way with n
Chicago team. who claim the cham
pionship Of Northern Illinois and who
pass through here on their way to the
Panama exposition, where they ex-
pect to play, for stop-over in this
city at which time a game will be
played. Further developments will
be announced regarding the date of
this game, but il will probably be
about the second week in January.
Arrangements are also being made
with the Deming High School team
the Fl Paso Y. W. G. A. team: the
Silver City High School team; and
the Las Cruces High School team,
for games this winter.
Arrangements have been made to
use the Crystal theater for the games
this year and if the floor can be put
in condition. as well as the baskets
made, practice will start Tuesday.
November 4, 1914 in order to give
the girls the longest possible time to
get into playing condition before the
season opens with game against
the Deming High School, which will
be played about the middle of De-
cember. the date Of which will be
announced later.

With such confidence as this. and
kith the support deserving Of the
citizens Of Deming, there is no reason
why We should not see the young Ia
dies have a very successful season.
not only from a financial standpoint,
as that is not the object Of athletics
but they should be supported because
of the desire ON the part Of the girls
to place this town among the leaders
Of this pastime in the state.
