clings to his job in the city of

must care for the refugees. The
Mexican situation gets more

steps in and demands the peace
the war will continue on indeh-

LET PATRIOTISM HoT POLITICS PREVAIL

LEA IA &a1SAaS@s IVA @SAeAAoS = 49,
The legislature is now in ses-
sion, the first week very little OF
importance will be done, but
there is an opportunity at this
session to test the sincerity Of
those who profess to deplore
factional divisions. The writer
has long ago determined to lay
aside factional differences, and
strive to do mis- part towards
bringing about a sane condition,
which cannot exist if the masses
are going to be content to graft
fly the personal ambitions of a
class of politicians who find con-
tention and strife a method to
hide their purposes, just as the
cutie fish muddies the waters to
strike his prey.
There is q class OF men whose
interest in politics IS to crafty
enmity, these would go to any
length-slander. vilifcation, and
abuse to prejudice the public
mind against those they would
destroy, but this element has
had it's day, no longer will citi-
zens submit to their misrepre.
sentations without making the
creatures show up; when they
go about lying and misrepresent-
ing Ian opponent, they will be
jerked up and proven to be char.
acter assassins, and held up TO
the ezecration and scorn Of de-
cent people, as they deserve.
The factional division in this
and in other States has done
harm, there is no doubt, it il
stopped with the individual, no
great harm would come of it,
but it does not stop there, it ex-
tends to the making Of and the
execution Of the laws, favoritism
comes in for it's share when fac
tioual feeling continues as it has
been the past four years, result
ing in the laws being impair
TALLY enforced, friends of the
faction in power are a law with
in themselves, while others are
made to toe the mark. We do
not want such a condition, but
things are rapidly pointing that
way, and they will get worse un'
less aaod thinking masses

BALANCING 1T

A traveller in England was being
shown over an estate by the owner,
who was a crank on landscape gar
dening. They came to small green
house with a young boy locked up in
it. The visitor inquired the reason
and his host replied that he had
caught the boy stealing flowers from
the grounds and had locked him up
for punishment.
Going a little further they came to
another greenhouse, the counterpart
of the first and similarly situated on
the other side of the grounds, and
this also contained small boy.
What" exclaimed the visitor,
has this boy, too, been stealing
fiowers?"
ooh, no." replied the host, chat is
my little son."
'"Then why" asked the puzzled
caller, have you locked him in
here?"
''Why, for the sake of symmetry"
answered the host-Everybody's.

Earth's Moon or Satellite

Of all the secondary plannets the earth's satellite is the most inter- esting and important. It revolves abont the earth in 27 days, 7 hrs. and 32 minutes. Its motion is in common with the earth in its orbit around the sun. The duration of the lunar month from new moon to new moon is 20 days, 12 hours 44.5 minutes and is called the 'synodical period.
 Its mean distance from the earth is 23S, S6S miles. Orbit intricate
 and inclined to earth's plane 5 de- grees 9 minutes. The points of crossing earth's orbit are called
 nodes It rotates on its axis in 27.32 days, which equals the time of its revolution about the earth, hence it talway keeps the same side toward the earth.
 In remote days the Lunar sur face was the theatre of violent vol canic action, being elevated into cones and ridges exceeding 10000 feet in height, and at other places rent into furrows or depressiors of bonding depth. The yolcan- oes are now extinct, and their old craters can be seen by aid of tele- scope. A profound silence reigns over the desolate and rugged sur face. It is dead world, utterly unfit to support animal or vege:a- ble life such as exists on the earth. 7

 For several years new houses have been building constantly, and yet there are not enough houses here today to supply the demand. This spring and summer should see the erecti. of from six to dozen new houses, all of them of residence type that will add great ly to the good looks of the town. Many of the houses erected in the past have merely been thrown to- gether for temporary use, but the houses now being planned are to be modern in finishing and furn- ishing and soundly constructed for use as permanent residences. The houses are being built chief ly by permanent residents who are now able to build better quarters than they have previously occu- pied, or young men who are pre- pairing to settle down to business permanently here and therefore are building permanent homes.

A LETTER
My Dear Friend:

My Dear Friend:
 If you are con. templating attending the Easter Millinery Opening at the Racket Store next Saturday, do not fail to take a look at those beautiful ready to wear dresses they received this week. Why it is really interesting, and it hardly pays to make dresses when you can get just what you want at such low cost. To be- gin with, there are Night dresses, not only for the ''grown ups" but, the wee six year old is remembered. Then comes the morning or neatly made and fitted house dress, and the lovely dress for afternoon or street wear, and handsome evening or party dresses in tulle or voile. Then as "Uncle Josh" says, there's the "comein' out'' dress, and the nice thing about it is, they are for all sizes of children and grown ups". Not only that but, I heard them say they were taking orders for mems and boys suits from a swell book of beautiful samples. You know you can always make your money go farther there than elsewhere, and did you ever notice the extra good quality their goods are? And here's something else I heard them say, too, is, they are going to serve something good to eat in the Easter opening day. You know they carry such a nice line of eatab bles.
 1 hope to see you there, and I knew you would be glad for me to put you next.
 Your friend,

WOLvERS WANTED
Opportunity For Trappers
 in Rio Arriba County

Anyone who believes that he is a good wolf hunter should try his luck in the Chama Mountains in the orthern part of New Mexico.
 Forest Supervisor Marsh at Tres Piedras, New Mexico, in letter to the District Office here, repor ts that the wolves are increasing on the Carson National Forest at an alarming rate. This increase be- gan to be noticeable about two years ago until now it is estimated that there are 60 head operating south and west of Tres Piedras-a station on the D. & R. G. R. R.
 In addition to the wolves, there are more lions than usual in this part of the country.
 The local cattlemen are becom ing considerably worked up over the situation. and are offering a bounty of thirty dollars for wolves which is in addition to the county bounty of 1000.
 Even with this inducement, so far but few wolves have been caught. It looks like a virgin field for a good trapper

THE KEEPING QUALITY OF
 SWEET-CREAM BUTTER

OH IeUIudIy lI, 10, duu J
 representatives of the departmen
 examined 219 samples of butte
 packed for the Navy Departmen
 during the spring and summer O
 1913, and held in storage for { period ranging from 7 te 9 months.
 For several years the Navy Depart
 ment has purchased ann ually from 5OO.OOO to 100000 pounds of but. ter packed in dramatically sealed tins for use on board its ships while at sea. In 1913, 800, ,OOC pounds of such butter were made at 4 creameries, 2 of which were located in New York and 1 each in Pennsylvania and Minnesota.
 The butter was made during 8 period of 90 days between May 1 and August 20, according to spec ifications prepared by the Dairy
 Division, Bureau of Animal h. dustry, Department of Agriculture. The specifications required that the butter should be made from past eurized cream containing not more than O.234 per cent of acid for
 butter scoring 95 points, which
 quality was required for at least 70 per cent of the total amount pack ed. A water content of 13 per cent or le, s and salt content be- tween 2 and 34 per cent were re. quired. The butter was stored at a temperature of zero or below as fast as carloads accumulated at the creamery. Inspectors working un- der the supervision of the Dairy Division were stationed at each of the creameries making this butter and made the tests for acidity in the cream and for the salt and moisture contents in the butter. The inspectors had authority and were directed to require strict compliance with the specifications In order that the keeping quality of the butter might be determined and any necessary changes in the methods of manufacture noted, the inspectors were authorized to take a sample can from each days make. These samples, containing 5 pounds each, were stored and held under the same conditions as the general supply. The results show that for storage purposes but ter made in this way has except ionally good keeping qualities, and confirms the opinion that for the requirements of the Navy Depart ment butter made from sweet cream has no superior The tin from which the cans We're m ade was process lacquered on both sides, and resulted in entirely pre- venting the development of rust which had shown to some extent in previous years.
 The judges pronounced the but Ger to be of unlf rm quality and with no serious deferts.
