The Play

The Home Talent Theatrical en-
tertainment Saturday evening
was greeted by a good house and
was in many respscts very
creditable performance, Some of
the younger members are critic
ised for not speaking loud enough
to be heard. That is the only crit
icism we have heard. Tt was all
comedy and each of the four diff
ferent plays possessed much
merit as a mirth provoker.
The fact that the hall was too
hot for the comfort of the audi
ence was the worst drawback to
the enjoyment of the occasion

DR. M. D. Gibbs has started

it is going we cant even guess
where it will stop.
Last week he imported a Gro

the thing has developed into a

and one of the conditions is that
no Ladies Auxiliary" shall exist.
If the ladies want to get in the
game they must be friends to
some Lord of Creation" or they
stay outside in the bleachers.
Further reports are due later
but take it from u.s. there have
been some fast amateur games
pulled off already.

Buys Meat Market

Olin Leach has purchased the
Springer Meat Market from
Messrs. Higgins & Alldredge and
will go Sunday to take charge of
it.
We believe we voice the
sincere sentiment Of this entire
community when we say there is
not a young man in this commu-
nifty who will be more missed in
social circles or who is more uni
versally admired.
We congratulate Springer upon
acquiring him and wish him abun-
dant success in mis- new enter
prise. As a Meat cutter. Baker,
Cook, Comedian, Reader and
Entertainer he has few equals.
He will install a bakery in con-
nection with his market and ex-

as he did here.

Some Rye Crop

Rev. Guy b. Hall stopped on
his way in to work Monday
morning with some samples of
his wheat and rye. The rye meas
ures "a inches in heighth and
breaks our record again by two
inches. This is just an average
from his field and the sample is
to be sent to Kansas by Mrs.Ro-
mine. as an evidence of what
Dry-farming can produce in New
Mexico. When you stop to consid-
er that the land on which this rye
grew cost the owner $500 for
100 acres and the cost of a shanty
barn, well, and fence it compares
very favorably with the $4,000
per acre farms of the Central
States and accentuates the diff
erence in land values. When we
get political conditions made
right the showing our farmers
are making will soon attract men
and money from the eastern
states to develope these prairies
into what God meant them to be.

BUSINESS AND THE OUTLOOK.

From the Philadelphia Record.
We are entitled to draw some en-
courasement from the fact that the
bank clearings last week nearly
nearly quarter larger than for the
week before. If we allow for the
closing OF the stock and cotton en-
changes the comparison with year
ago Is not bad. There Is consid-
cradle decrease of clearings at all
The other leading trade centers. ex-
kcept, New Orleans, but the great bulk
o: the contraction from last year was
at New York. where the two great
exchanges, are idle. The increase
of clearings from the previous week
recovering from the blow inflicted by
the war.
There are other Indications of this.
7 Railroad gross earnings are not run
ming SO far behind last year as they
were few weeks, ago. There is in
IcreasinR confidence in business cir
lcles. There is some Improvement in
the financial markets. The large
lgrain exports contribute to improve
foreign exchange and to assure the
west of prosperity. Other exports
show an increase over last year.
There is more movement of raw cot
ton and little improvement in the
foreign demand for cotton goods.
More business is done in boots and
shoes, and prices tend upward, with
more confidence among buyers and
substantial foreign orders.
The iron and steel trade Is rather
more depressed than 1t has been, al
Though there has been an increase
in the foreign demand. This has not
sufficed to make up for the dizziness
of the domestic demand, due partly
to increased economies by the rail-
roads, and also to restriction upon
buildings resulting from the financial
lsituation and to the disposition tc de-
Ffer large construction and improve
mfnts till there is better assurance
of business expansion. Domestic
woolens and worsteds are active. A
large western pobbing house says
that wool dress goods have for two
months shown much more than the
usual activity for the season. There
is a European market for all the
wcolen blankets that can be made
and cotton blankets are also in re-
quest, and contracts for shoes. hos
iery, leather. steel products and other
commodities are coming from ELL
rope in considerable amounts. The
Greek government has placed orders
in this state for 100000 tons of
coal.

So far as the present administra-
tion is concerned any additional tax
levied will be permanent. 1t will
last until the Republican policy of
collecting greater revenues at the
customs houses in the form of i'm
ports on foreign products to the pro-
lection of American interests is re-
stored and there is economy in ex-
penditures.
Additional taxation is one of the
penalties the country must pay for a

opposed to the policies of the Demo-

right-wheeled and presented arms
with an alertness that was as unex-
