Prosperity Item

Here is a prosperity item which
shows what can be done when
you want to do it and how to do
it: From one hundred hens he
sold during the year 1913, 1,159
eggs which brought him $275. He
kept no account of the eggs used,
but estimates that for home con-
sumption and setting, the hens
probably produced one hundred
dozen in addition to those he sold.
The family consists of Mr.. and
Mrs. Oren two persons. but Mr..
Oren says they use fresh eggs
freely for cooking and for the
table. From one cow, after using
all the milk and butter they want
ed, Mr.. Oren sold 154 pounds of
butter, which brought $46.85.
Here is an income Of 1921. IS, be-
sides eggs and milk and butter for
two from one hundred hens and

Isleta No. s. Also Andres Sich-
Ter was engaged as supervisor fer
the Los Lunas district and Nico-

The contract with Engineer
Hitchcock was renewed for the
following six months.
Owing to the fact that the
funds derived from the levies

The supel vision Of the state al,
thorities, the funds for expendi
lures by the road board are very
limited during the year 1914. Ac-
cordingly the board adopted a
resolution requesting the taxpay-
yers to pay their road tax in mo-
ney instead of labor, wherever
possible, thereby making better
work possible, permitting of great
er results in road work. By a
recent court decision the money
collected as tax must be spent in
the districts where collected.
At the January meeting, the
board decided on the route of the
public road from Belen to Rincon.
Also authorized the supervisor Of
the district to open the road south
of Belen through to Los Garcias.
Instructions were also issued tt
have the grade built up to the
approach of the river bridge II

The board resolved to discon
tinue all road work except where

new MEXICO
CLIMATE

S. M. Graham, travelling in
spector of the department of ma
tural resources, land branch, of
the Canadian Pacific Railway, in
a recent interview at Santa Fe,
had the following to say, apropos
of New Mexico and her resources:
II often wonder if you people
of New Mexico appreciate the
sunshine you have? Travelling
from one end of the country to
the other as | do, | notice the lack
of sunshine. Take the great city
of Chicago, for instance, | do not
think it is an exaggeration to say
that the people in the city have
had but five hours Of sunshine
since November, and that they
have seen but five minutes of the
solar rays from January to jan
uary 10. Smoke, SCOT and humid
ity seemed to have formed a pail
over the city and certain it is that
for days the business houses and
homes have burned electric lights.
"Such is city life and it is not
fair to assume that hundreds and
thousands of people leading a
mere existence in the great cities
would welcome a chance to take
advantage of a back to the farm
movement
'The time has come, too, when
a man is not going to be satisfied
with making a mere living How
many people in the cities are for
tunate if they make their expen-
ses. Do you realize that there
are hundreds of we'll dressed ano
high salaried men in the large
cities of this country who are moi
saving a dollar? All is spent tt
keep up with the race, to make
an appearance. Many young men
have talked to me about this con,
dition and it is both sad and dis
couraging. | really believe more
money can be saved on the farm
or in the small town on half the
income.
Mr.. Graham says he is much
impressed with the mineral re
sources of New Mexico and de
clared that money for develop
ment of the mines will eventually
be poured into this state the mo
ment that Old Mexico starts on al
era of prosperity.
You have a great climate here
but it has often been said no on,
can eat the climate. And eating
seems to be a very important fea
ture of living. Climate will no
develop your mines nor will
build houses on farms, but it Wi
throw a halo of cheerfulness owe
mines and farms once you ca
get a system started such as W
are working in Canada. Tha
system is to bring people to de
velop the country and after W
get them to push them forwar
with a paternal hand" +"

This shows what a little activity

visiting in Albuquerque when the

begin working until last Saturda7.

It is safe to say that the piano

there are more who should be
regular readers of the home pa
per, and we want them on our
list. To make the contest more
interesting we have decided to

next month. These bonus votes
will be for new and renewal sub
scriptions, and also for merchant
coupons. For every Z new SUBJ
scriptions turned in before the
next count, we give a bonus of
10000 votes, making a total of
14,200, For every Z renewals, a
bonus of 5000, making a total of

count 1900 votes. These coupons
must he brought in, 40 at a time,
and counted by the publisher or
some member of The News force.
These are absolutely the largest
bonuses which will be offered
during the entire contest. So
NOW is the time to get busy.
The second count will be made
at 2 O'Clock p. m. February 18th.
AS special prizes at this count we
offer $1,000 in gold to the con-
testant having made the greatest
gain during the month, and $500
, in gold to the contestant having
; made the second gain. Notice
that these prizes are not to the
contestants standing the highest

second month. That is, the votes
! already counted will have nothing
to do with the standing of the

f This is the second lap of the race

kEEXT to the baby's food itself, the
~ care of the nursing bottle is by
far the most important thing 10
be considered, for without absolutely
clean bottles no baby can be expected
to thrive. The bottles should never be
washed with soap, indispensable as that
commodity may seem to perfect cleanli-
ness. They ought not to be allowed to
stand after they are empty, but should
be Immediately washed in cold water,
then filled with weak solution of boric
acid, which not only assists in steriliz-
ing them, but keeps them from collect.
ing dust. If the boric acid solution is
not used, then the bottles should be
corked with dry antiseptic cotton to
avoid the settling of any dust.
Nursing babies are particularly sub
lect to sore mouths in hot weather and
the greatest care must be taken with
the nipples used on the bottles. There
should be clean one for each time the
baby is fed, so that it will not be neces-
sary to use nipple more than once
a day, and after each time it is used
it should be thoroughly rinsed and
boiled, then placed in boric acid solu
tion until used again.
This solution, which is such an in
dispensable article in the nursery, is to
be had ready for use at any drug store
or much less expensive form may b,
had by purchasing the crystals ant
making up the saturated solution.
