is lined with creditabe stores, banks

This has all been accomplished with
in few years by an enterprising
people. Their schools and churches
are alike with the other attractive
features, which develop a strong pa
triotic home loving spirit that is pc
culiar to our Aztec citizens and which
is admirable from every point of
view.
The growth and substantial devel-
opment of the agricultural portion
which has made rapid strides the past
few years is very noticeable and the
diversified crops are destined to make
that portion of San Juan county the
flower spot of New Mexico.
These annual fair features bring
the people closer together and de-

The Aztec fair is an event that
will linger long in the memory of
all participants. 1t has not been ones
privilege, we doubt, to ever before
witness an exhibit equal to it, pro-
duced from a local community and
embracing only portion of the coun-
ty's product. The wheat and oats in
the sheaf, potatoes in the basket, sug-
ar beets, cabbages, sweet potatoes,
onions, squash, pumpkins and nearly
every known vegetable was exhibited
in an artistic manner under a huge
canvas. Peaches weighing ten and a
half ounces, apples three-quarters of
a pound, grapes of many varieties,
pears that would look good to Cali
fornians, plums large as hens eggs,
cantaloupes, corn on the stalk four
teen and half feet from the ground,
large ears grown 10 feet from the
roots; several varieties Of corn in the
ear yielding 85 bushels to the acre,
dairy cows, horses, sheep, swine and
fowls and many other articles went
to make up the exhibit handled by
the men folks.
The ladies' department exhibited
the same enterprise. Bread and pas
try, canned fruits, vegetables, ETC.,
art and needlework gave evidence Of
how and what the Aztec ladies con-
tributed to the general exhibit. The
program was interesting, horse rae

NEW JERSEY TO OBSERVE
EDUCATIONAL SUNDAY
United Press.

TRENTON, N. j., Sept. 12.-New
Jersey tomorrow will observe "edu-
cational Sunday" Some time ago
State Commissioner of Education c.
N. Kendall conceived the idea that il
would be appropriate at this time
when one portion Of the world is en-
crossed in great war, to demon
strate that the people of another sec
ton Of the globe were quietly pre-
pairing to send their hundreds Of thou
sands of children back to school rooms
for the regular term. By gathering
in the churches and holding services
touching on education this could be
demonstrated, he asserted.
Governor Fielder heartily endorsed
Kendall's plan and tomorrow was sci
as the day on which special educa-
tional services shall be held in al
New Jersey churches.

ed in the following dispatch which

On the boulevards each night the
change in the Paris populace is -
markable. There is enthusiasm, but
a quiet kind of enthusiasm. There
is a singular absence of rowdyism
and horseplay. The pache seemr to
have suddenly become respectable
citizen. People are more sincerely po-

have noted blend of gravity and
gaiety; gravity fully conscious of
they are fighting for France, they are
fighting against the detested Germ an
who was so cruelty relentless after
his former victory, and because they
are not fighting alone, as in 1870.
One does not hear the "Interna-
tionaP now. There is no longer the
verse dinning in our ears bidding the
soldiers turn their guns on their Of
ficers. Now it is the "Marseilaise,"
or nothing; and l wish you could hea..
the "Marseillaise" sung by 5000
Frenchmen on the boulevards of Paris.

is practically reduced to God Save

Russian national hymn. That is an
