FACTS AND FICTION
Experiences of Emmett Citizens Are
Easily Proven to be Facts


The most superficial investigation
will prove that the following state
ment from resident of Emmett is
true Read it and compare evidence
from Emmett people with testimony
of strangers living so far away you

thither was picketed Also, they knew
a better way. This time they had the
color of the law on their side. The
circuit judge, through the sheriff,
asked for troops and troops came.
Their cents dotted the river bank be-
low the Hixon bridge. A detail I'M
der a white flag went out after Tama-
rack Spicer The militia captain in
command, who feared neither feudist
nor death, was courteousiy received.
He had brains, and he assured them
that he acted under orders which
could not be disobeyed. Unless they
surrendered the prisoner, gatling guns
would follow. If necessary they would
be dragged behind OK teams. Many
militiamen might be killed, but for
each of them the state had another.
If Spicer would surrender, the officer
would guarantee him personal protec-
ton, and, if it seemed necessary, a
change of venue would secure him
trial in another circuit. For hours the
clan deliberated For the soldiers they
felt no enmity. Fer the young cap
tain they felt an instructive liking.
He was man.
Old Spicer South, restored to an
echo of his former robustness by the
call of action, gave the clans verdict.
"Hit haint the cote we're skeeied
Of Eff this boy goes ter town he
won't never git into no cote. He'll be

The officer held out his hand.

For a space old South looked into
the soldiers eyes and the soldier
looked back.
"1ll take yore handshake on tibet
bargain" said the mountaineer, grave
ly. "Tam'rack," he added, in voice
Of finality, we've got ter 60"
The officer had meant what he said.
He marched his prisoner into Hixon
at the center of hollow square, with
muskets at the ready. And yet, as the
boy passed into the courthouse yard,
with soldier rubbing elbows on eacn
side, clearly aimed shot sounded
from somewhere. The smokeless pow
der told no tale, and with blue shirts
and army hats circling him, Tamarack
fell and died.

a bullet intended for his heart. All
this while the troops were helplessiy
camped at Hixon. They had power
and inclination to go out and get men,
but there was no man to get.
The Hollmans had used the soldiers
as far as they wished; they had made
them pull the chestnuts out of the
fire and Tamarack Spicer out of his
stronghold. They now refused to
swear out additional warrants.
A detail had rushed into Hollman's
store an instant after the shot which
killed Tamarack was fred. Except for
a woman buying card of buttons and
a fair-haired clerk waiting on her, they
found the building empty.
Back beyond, the hills were tmpene-

 From Upsala, Sweden, comes this uord. I've are experiencing much distress incident to war conditions. Everything has increased in price, some articles of food having gone up 5O to 100 percent Practically nothing is imported or exported. Our har- bors are filled with waiting steamers.

 Secretary Oldham, of the Metho- dist Episcopal Church, writes concern ing South America:
 South America is almost prostrated and self-support has been so suddely arrested that our schools, which have been chiefly self-supporting, are threatened and circumstances make most difficult the carrying on of the mission on anything like the scale on which it has been moving in normal times. Rates of interest have become very high and prices advanced almost out of reason. South America on the east and west coasts calls emphatical- ly for relief"

WHEN THEY DANCED
 THE DREAMY
Providence Journal

In many a matronly bosom a little pang may be felt at the announcement of the death of Emile Waldteufel. Will not the bald-headed tangoer pause in his madness, for memorys sake? Waldteufel composed for generation that delighted to dance the dreamy waltz. The Waldteufel waltz was romance. It's proper execution soulful rite. Not even Johann Strauss of the imperishable Blue Danube" !" fashioned measures with more of haunting sentiment in them.
 A new waltz from the Niennese Strauss or the Alsatian Waldteufel was an international event. There was no conception of new dances' in the modern sense in period that em- braced the hoopskirt the Grecian bend the pullback and the earlier examples of the tailor r-made-when young gen tlemen wore boeskin trousers, and did not know cigarettes.

THE S3,00O HORSE AND THE s3o
 TEACHER

know of certain school district where they very wisely determined to raise the quality of their horses They formed stock company and bought an imported horse. I am not sufficiently expert in animal husbandrv to tell you off hand what breed he was. But he was one of those bio fellows, with leg at each corner like a pile driver, and with bushy whiskers around his hoofs. He was a good one and cost three thousand great. big, round iron dollars. Being good horse he could not be trusted with a poor man. So they got a good man. and paid him $75 a month to handle and train the horse.
 Three members of that horse com pany were the school directors of the district. And they hired a girl to train, teach and handle the children In this same school district where they had fine horse She was slip of girl, who did not know enough to boil water without burning it. She was one of the big bunch of girls that go through our high schools paying more attention to their clothes than they do to their scholastic credits. But she had one qualification that caught those directors. She was willing to work for $3O
 Of course you say it is an outrage to give certificate to such a girl. But our county superintendents can't help themselves. We have got to have the $50 month school teacher to sup ply the $30 a month school district The only way to abolish the $30 a month school teacher is to abolish the $30 month school district-by con solidation or otherwise. If no teach CTS certificate was good in district that paid less than $50 month. three fourths of the schools would close.
 But the girl took the job and went out there. One of the first young men she met was Bill, aged twenty, son of one of these directors. When she happened to notice that in the course of his daily toll he had picked up little bit of non-commercial fertilizer on his boot heel, she elevated her nose at an angle of forty-fve degrees. And Bill immediately began to grow dissatisfied with farm life.-Banker- Farmer

GODS COUNTRY

When all our roads are good roads, when country schools are good schools when farms produce larger yields at greater profits; when farmers unite to upbuild rural life
 When the children of the farm will scorn to desert this fairest of placcs for crowded cities; population will be more evenly divided for many who struggle for crust in the city will find plenty in the country; wealth will be more evenly divided; there will be less of the doctrine Of hate and more of the gospel of love; there'Will be more HAPPINESS.'

to the farming industry in
many Of the states than New
Mexico. still the writer has
visited sections of the United
States where conditions do not
appea to be as good as they
do here, though the people
gave their time to the work
and were making a living.
There Is any number of
things to be said in favor of
this country as a farming dis.
trict. Ii has been demonstrated
time and time again than any
thing chat is planted will grow.
The soil is as fertile as could
be desired. The rainfall was
over Is inches last year-am-
pie TO mature any ordinary
crop. This of course cannot
be depended upon every year
but it can generally be supple
mented by pumping at a small
cost. Those who try to sue
coed will succeed. There is no
occasion to be blue. The best
farming sections in the world
have their bad years. One
should not be discouraged by
a poor crop. and the farmers
of this section have no reasons
at all to be blue now.
The Columbus courier. [volume] (Columbus, Luna County, N.M.) 1911-1920, 1915-06-11

This is the worst time of
the year for this section. The
farmer has planted his crops
and it is only natural that he
bedomes impatient while wait
ing for the usual summer
rains. Occasionly We meet a
farmer who has developed a
real full-grown case of blues.
IL is useless to worry, We al
ways have had rain here during
the summer season and we
have no reason to believe that
this year will be an exception
from the general rule. And
il is an established fact the
climate Of New Mexico is
changing. Last year the total
precipitation was the greatest
ON record and il seems possible
that as more water is pumped
to the surface the rainfall will
increase. Governor Mcdonald
in his Arbor Day proclama.
ton last spring spoke OF the
possibility OF a great change in
our climate by planting lots of
ITces.

is in some Of the states. The

his resignation as Secretary of

that he will remain one the
