MAY BREAKS RECORD
FOR RAIN. ...5.02 IN.
Big Rain Last Day of April
of 2.19 Made Total of
7.21 at Local Station

At the Experiment station the rain
fall registered 7.2 from the 30th day Of
April to the 3lst day of May, while in
Tucumcari II was considerable over :
inches. In the Pajarita water shed the
precipitation was considerable more, es-
peeially in the vicinity Of Hanley.
Mr.. Quin tells us the area of the wa.
tershed covers $50 square miles and he
figures that onc.ffth of the whole rain

tion purposes.
The state franchise allows only the
use Of water for 25O00 acr =, SO in the
month Of May alone We would have
caught enough water to have run the
proposed irrigation project year with
all the ground in cultivation.
II some company would take hold of
the project and star. tomorrow, suppos.
ing the bitches and everything else was

when all the 25OOO acres would be in

before the company would have sold
TO users three fourths of the part al
lowed to them for financing the pro
icct. II then stands 10 reason that we
have one of the best propositions ever
offered TO any company. The reservoir
is no small thing and il is claimed that
IL will hold 10000 acre feet Of water.
Promoter Quin has made a very con

The Chain of Lakes.

North Missouri's famous hunting ground. known as the Chain of Lakes. having resisted all attempts to drain and cultivate. has been allowed to re- turn to its natural state. The Chain of Lakes is wilderness surrounded by rich farming land. towns and good country roads. This section was the original happy hunting ground for the Indians of the west. On the banks of the Charlton river, at the edge of the lake territory. they pitched their wig wams. built a stone fort or dam and put up an ingenious fish trap. for there were no game wardens in those days. That trap. repaired and strengthened from time to time. was inherited by white men who followed the Indians and operated half q century. Then the game wardens. attracted by the an cient fish traps fame, went over to the river and blew it up with dynamite ArHOnaut

A Gentleman.

"0n the whole. the finest gentleman l have ever met" says d writer in the Unpopular Review. was the Japanese Samurai and art critic. the late Oka- Sura Kakuzo. 1 recall as vividly his courteous and eXpectant silences as l do his always eloquent and brilliant discourse. lndulgent to the small talk of others. he declined to share it. If he ever gave utterance to mere prejudice or to any petty personal con cern it was not in my hearing. He appeared to husband himself until the talk should take wide impersonal range. and then his comment was fervent and Illuminating A noted American poet critic has somewhat similar habits. His prolonged silences are comfortable. even deferential, his rare speech instinct with sympathetic understanding with men and books and nature. The late John LaFarge. who was in congenia society q con tinuous talker offered an interesting equivalent for reticence in the allu- siveneSs of his touch and in a beauti- full perception of the kind of sympa- thetic response you would have made had you not been better occupied in listening to him. He had what most free takers signally lack, perfect tact"

Titles to Land.

On what just basis can I claim ex- elusive right to a part of the limited surface of the earth? No man made the land" said Mill Tt is the origi- nal inheritance of the whole species" " No matter how far we delve into the past. we can find no just title to the private ownership of land. Blackstone admits that there is no foundation in nature or in natural law why q set of words upon parchment should con- vey the dominion of land" Whilst another man has no land" says Finer son, my title to mine, your title to yours. is at once vitiated." And Her bert Spencer maintains that the titles all rest on force. fraud or cunning. When Edward l. sent his commission to inquire into the existing judicial franchises in 12IS Earl Warenne flung a rusty sword on the table and cried This. sirs. is my warrant By the sword our fathers won their lands when they came over with the con- queror. and by the sword we will keep them. ."-F.

European Monkeys,

One of the rarest of living creatures is undoubtedly European monkey. The only place on the continent where these animals may be found is on the rock of Gibraltar. They are of the type known as Barbary apes and are about the size of q terrier dog. A most noticeable feature is that they do not possess tails. Only about twenty of the apes exist. and only by unceasing protection and artificial feeding is the species preserved. Many theories are advanced as to how these apes first came to Gibraltar A popular idea is that q subterranean passage exists be tween the rock and the adjacent coast Of Africa. and that the monkeys pass to and fro. but the more matter of fact theory that they were originally inn ported by some local inhabitant is prob ably correct.

The Constitution of the United States provides that an amendment to the Constitution submitted by Congress, on vote of two-thirds of both houses, shall become effective when three-fourths of the states either by their legislatures or by a special vote of the people shall ratify the action of Con gress. Maine, Kansas, North Dacota, Oklahoma, Mississippi. Tennessee, North Carolina, Georga and West Virginia, containing one-siXth of the pep ulation of our country, have al- ready adopted state wide proh- ibition, outlawing the manu~ facture and sale of alcoholic beverages. About thirty million people live in the territory where the saloon has been voted out, so that more than one- half of our population live in prohibition and in saloonless territory. The area of the pro hibition states combined with the saloonless localities covers seven-tenths of the entire country. At the present time five states. Washington, Ore gon, California, Colorado and Virginia are definitely engaged in state wide campaigns; Idaho and Arizona are working to- ward the inauguration of such campaigns; Texas. Utah and Florida are looking hopefully to ward securing the passage of a state measure in 1915; bill providing for the submission Of the question to the voters have been introduced in the Legislatures of kentuckey, Marayland and South Carollna, and numerous other states are planning for campaigns in inc near future.

Cricket.

Cricket seems always to have been played in Britain. The first mention of it is found in manuscript of the thirteenth century. The name comes from the Saxon "cric" or "cryc,' crooked stick, an obvious reference to the bat with which it is played.
