In aiming at as great variety as

artists Who have attained cm:-

They will doubtless be handi-

employees to make allowance for
these defects and to use Their
imaginations, guided by the syn
opsis given on programs, to give
them a complete conception Of the
leautiful lessons taught. The
success Of an entertainment Iii e
this depends very much on the
audience, and the amount cf
thought given to the artists work.

A School Teacher Kicks

Santa Fe, Feb. 8. Some people
really are unreasonable. Here
comes a teacher from Valencia
county and complains that fell
low teacher picks the guitar for
the Spanish fandango each night
in a saloon.
The complainant writes Super
intendent AIvan N. White as fol-
lows:
L would like to inquire if the
following case has been reported
to your Office. In the district be-
low here two teachers were hired
by the directors under permits
issued them by the county super
intendent. They were notified to
attend the examinations for teach
ers at Relen, but did not do so.
Instead they went to Los Lunas
and then they came back here.
The superintendent has ordered
the schools, but the people want
those teachers to continue to teach
myself think that these two per-
sons being allowed to teach works
great injustice on those of US who
comply with the law, attend the
institute of the teachers and pass
the examinations. One of these
teachers goes into saloons anc
picks the guitar at Mexican fan
dangos. certainly hope that yor
will see to it that a stop is put tt
this pernicious abuse. - Albu

ENRIQUE SALAS
HEADED SOUTH

Sheriff julius Meyer, Of Tor
rance county, was in Belen Mon
day evening, ON his way to Will
lard, whence he will drive south
ward in search Of Enrique Salas,
who on last Wednesday killed his
father-in-law, Ross Garcia, at
Torreon. Sheriff Meyer received
definite information that his man
had gone in that direction, and
will follow him to Mexico City
if necessary" !" to use his own
words.
While the exact truth will not
be known until Mrs. Salas has
recovered her health sufficiently
to talk of the affair, or until her
husband is captured and gives the
facts. The story appears to be
about as follows, from what we
could learn: Salas and his wife
were 'quarreling in their home at
Torreon and this was reported to
her father, who hastened to the
house. Not receiving a response
to his rap at the door, he proceed
ed to break in the door. AS the
door gave way, he lunged in and
was struck in the head with ali
axe, from the results of which he
died a few hours afterward a few
hours afterWard. Mrs. Salas was
picked up from the floor with a
cut in her head, apparently hav-
ing been struck with the sharp
side Of the axe, but whether ac-
cidentally or Intentionally is not
known. Salas, frightened almost
to death, fled.
Mrs. Salas is apparently recov-
ering, although slowly. AS yet,
the physician in charge has not
allowed the officers to question
her regarding the affray, nor has
she been informed of the death
of her father.

TWO BEARS FIGHT TO DEATH
Huge Grizzly and a Black Member OF
Bruin Family Battle to Finish
in Denver Park.

Denver.-A huge male grizzly" ano
a black bea1 cub fought a finish fight
at City Park zoo. The black bear.
one of a den of five, is dead. Curios-
ity and the stimulus Of a crisp spring
morning are responsible.
The bear went In quest OF adven-
ture. He shifted the air. shook him
self and placed a paw upon the first
crosspiece of the iron grating which
separated his pen from the one ad-
joining, in which the grizzly, the larg-
est in the zoo, was confined.
The visiting Bruin looked inquisi-
lively toward the top and then com
menced to mount, stopping at every
round to regard inquiringly the four
black bears which he had left below.
From the other side of the grating
the grizzly regarded the approach with
disapproval.
The bear reached the top and
paused to take account OF his exploit
with conscious satisfaction. Then he
lost his balance and a moment later
fell to the cement floor OF the griz'
zly's preserve.
When the keepers arrived later the
black bear was dead.

In feeding the lambs great care

FOR WooLLY APHIs
Finely Powdered Tobacco or Waste
Stems Will Prove Effective In
Eradication Of insects.
(By f.. H.

(By +. H. HILLMAN.)
Some effective remedies for the
woolly aphis are as follows:
For the apple root form, which
causes knots or swellings on the small
1ef roots-remove the earth, three or
four inches OF soil, about the crown
for q distance OF two to four feet from
the tree and sprinkle in four to six
pounds OF finely powdered tobacco.
Waste tobacco stems. which can be
purchased very cheaply, car be used
In place of powdered tobacco.
Natural enemies do far more than
is generally supposed toward reducing
the number OF aphids, but in a dry
season, especially. nature must be as.
sisted if these insects are to be kept
reduced to nondestructive numbers
Kerosene emulsion Is an efficient
