Steve Coldren Here

Steve Coldren, of Muleshoe,
Texas, was in the city Monday
on business. Mr.. Coldren, who
maintains his eastern office at
Kansas City brought about for ty
prospective homeseekers to the
Muleshoe country on this trip
and is selling land in the Black
water draw to eastern farmers
of means who are developing it
in the proper way. Some OF the
farms. which they have sold are
being we'll improved W i t h
modern farm houses. equipped
with furnaces, electric lights
and complete water works sys-
TENS. The land sold is irrigated
by the pumping system from
shallow wells and many first
class pumping systems are IN
evidence. They do not bring
prospectors who have less than
$40. 600 to invest in land and i'm
provements. The alfalfa on
some of the best improved farms
is now knee high and consider
ing the reasonable price asked
for land as compared with other
irrigated lands, they succeed in
almost every homeseeker
brought to the valley. The Col
dren Land Company are builders
and developers and their activ-
ity i S best demonstrated b =
their work.

Some Complaints

The News has had complaint
lately from subscribers residing
near Claud, who complain that
they do not receive their paper
occasionally until it is a week old.
The NEWS goes into the Clovis

their paper on Saturday. If
they do not do so, the fault lies
some place in the postal service.
If such complaint continues
the NEWS will be compelled to
take the matter up with the
post office department.

About Sound WsxeS,

One Of those scientists aho are al
ways developing apparent paradozes
In thought has come forward with the
statement that sound itself Is not eS-
traneous, but exists only because OF
nerve. In other words, II the ears OF
the human race were removed tomor-
TOW the world would be absolutely
noiseless to humanity The contention
Is that the sound waves. travelling at
a rate Of 1.os0 feet u second, create
Invisible ripples IN the air Just as
pool ripples when rock is thrown
into It. The greater the force Of these
waves the louder the sound. But there
Is no noise until these sound waves
strike the sensitive nerves Of the ear.
Thus, revertiog to the original PROPOSE
ton, the air waves themselves would
be noiseless did they not operate In
conjunction with the human sense OF
hearing.

The Valuable Quail.

The most expensive meat in Amer
lea Is that Of the quail. The price OF
the bird may be moderate enough, but
the loss caused by killing 1t IS an
other matter. Competent authorities
ESTIMATE that each quail is worth from
SO to s25 to the American farmer, as
a destroyer Of insects and devourer OF
weed seeds. This is particularly true
In those parts of the South afflicted
by the boil weevil. Quail are as
fond Of weevils as weeyils are of cot
ton, and more than one farmer has
noticed that when his fields arc well
stocked with quail the Gotten crot ls

vigorous game preserving in Dixie, on
economic grounds rather than for

Dreams Make Him Happy.

"One of the most ccntented men
know" said a well-known specialist
on mental diseases who had just been
talking about grouches, is a man
without a dollar to spare He's a pa
tient of mine, and I've studied him
closely. His happiness is based on
dreams. And they are day dreams, at
that At least once a day he devotcs
about an hour rerelling in imagination
of what he would do to make his little
circle Of friends happy if he were
worth a million, for example-and
this makes him happy. He paints some
very fine mental pictures, l assure
you. And the very best of it is, I am
firmly convinced he'd realize his
dreams Il he ever got the million.
Then he'd be happier still. An odd
way Of keeping even with fate, isn't
it?"
