WITH CITY'S PRIDE AT HEART
santa Fe Journal Respectfully but
Firmly Calls Attention to Mu-
nlcipal DereIiction,

The New Mexican does not wish
TO be unpleasant or unduly critical,
but a dead rooster at the corner of
Palace and Lincoln avenue has lain
there unburied for three consecutive
days.
There is no doubt about that roos-
ter's death. No physicians certificate
is required, as the passerby may tes-
tify. He has passed away. Now,
while one rooster occupies compare
lively little space and while a casual
visitor to the city might not notice
him, the principle of the thing is
wrong. One tourist might see that
rooster and fail to see the old palace;
and his report on Santa Fe would fea-
ture the fact that it had no facilities
for interring or removing defunct
ROSTERS
Let no visitor to the Oldest Newest
city in the United States see unburied
ROSTERS on our street corners. 1t is
the little things that go to make the
big impressions. Every rooster re-
moved and buried makes Santa Fe one
rooster the cleaner, one rooster the
brighter and more attractive.
Let us let no dead rooster escape

PeeIina Onions for q livina.

The profession of onion peeling is
not one that obtains much notice, yet
there are at least FIVE hundred women
IN the East end of London earning their
living by removing the skins of onions
With practice, they can make four or
FIVE shillings per day. Very often they
have been peeling since childhood,
daughters succeeding mothers.
1t is not a profession you can learn
in one lesson, for the onion Juices"
are Of no use for picking. The onions
are always peeled In water. This is

BOY TAKES PLACE OF HOG
Billed as One In Freight Car to Make
Rate on Household Goods

Lincoln, Neb.-A boy Grated and
shipped as a hog was the discovery

household goods and "one hog. value
released at $40"
Being an interstate shipment, in
spection was required. The veterinary
found the household goods. but no
sign Of a hog. A careful search, how
ever, revealed a boy curled up In
corner of the car. none the worse for
his trip.
By billing the car as part live stock
the shipper is allowed the low rate on
the household goods. and in the abb
sence of a hog the boy was sent by the
shipper as a substitute.
