A.-The climate 10 very dry
and healthful, and has made the
state justly celebrated rs resort
for those afflicted with pulmonary
troubles. The annual mean tenn
perature ranges from 42.4 degrees
at Winsors, San Miguel county
$1,000 feet), to 65 degrees at
Carlsbad, Eddy county 3,122
feet). The highest temperature
recorded was 112 degrees ut
Carlsbad (June 25), and the low
est, ~ degrees, at Bluewater, Va
lencia county (Feb. ~. The pre-
vailing winds are southwest, west,
southeast, and east. Although
the temperature i'm summer Is
sometimes high, especially i'm the
southern part, owing to the dry
ness of the atmosphere the heat
is never oppressive, and the nights
are always cool.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

A broom is one of the best
things to use in sweeping.
Never use an eggbeater to beat
carpets with, or your wife.
Use tea leaves in busting the
parlor. After you are through
with them there, pick them UP
and boil. They make delicious
punk tea.
Always leave the windows open
wide at night. IL burglars come
there is no danger of them break
ing glass.
Never varnish the kalsomining
1t spoils the varnish.

Out AZ Fremont this week the Commercial
club Of that town In conjunction with the Twen-
t'eth Century Farmer, published here in
Omaha, are entertaining one Of the most Inn
portant gatherings assembled anywhere in the
world this season II is a meeting OF the big
farm machinery makers OF the country, who are
showing TO the world what their engines can do
Ia practical way for agriculture. Nothing bet

path than his advance in methods and processes

the yield OF the western empire up to its present
magnificent figures. and have added millions to

Plain words to the Fire Underwriters

The fire underwriters are bringing all sorts
OF pressure to bear upon the city authorities for
the replacement OF our fire alarm system at a
cost OF approximately $4,000, to say nothing
of largely added expense OF maintenance, hold
ing out vague prospects OF relief from the long
exacted extortionate fire rates, and an implied
threat that no reduction will be forthcoming
until this demand is met.
II strikes us that It is up TO the underwriters
20 tell us in advance exactly what rate reduction
they will make in exchange for the proposed in
vestment In fire alarm apparatus, and In view
Of our past experience TO put II in written con-
tract form so that It can be enforced.
omaha's present fire rates date back many
years, and are made up of numerous penalties
charged against us for alleged shortcomings in
fire protection. Since those rates we're made,
however many OF the defects have been re-
moved, and tremendous advances made in less
ening fire risk. The bugaboo used TO be the
single line connection to the pumping plant in
Florence. which has now been remedied by the
construction of second main. The water dis
tribution has also been bettered by pipe extern
slons In all directions by Increase Of pumpage
facilities. and by enlargement of storage reser-
yoIrs. But no recognition whatever has come
from the underwriters in rate-making.
Omaha is today spending more on its fire
department per capita, and proportionately to
other municipal activities. than any other city In
the country. Il has adopted new, and up-to-date
building regulations. meets all requirements In
electrical wiring, and has admittedly fair in
spection Of explosives and inflammables Most OF
new buildings are of the highest type OF
construction. many Of them with sprinkler equip
ment But we are paying the same fire rates
exacted befo- iese Improvements we're made.
Omaha q field highly profitable TO
the fire int companies but they have not
dealt fairly )maha. IL seems TO us that It is
high time that they show some disposition TO
meet us half way.

Louisville Courier-Journal: A pessi-
mist says II is hard to find a job after
you're 40. An optimist expects after 10
to have good many jobs for promising
young men.

OF Austrian territory are sufficient and
If Germany can deliver the goods.
Brooklyn Eagle: I'VE don't want TO

the cotton. too" How is that for a
start at the lingo Song Of American
Springfield Republican. Reports from
Germany as to the imminence Of martial
law to suppress powerful peace move
ment will be received with none the
less reserve for being passed by the
censor" The censor last winter had
not the slightest objection to tales of
imminent starvation. but that did not
make them true.
New York World: II has taken TWEEN
ty-nlne years to clip three-twentieths of
a second from a mans running record
for a mile. To the unaided imagination
such a morsel OF time means nothing.
Yet il is by the very smallness of this

mate possibility in human speed.
Wall street journal: Our 100000 900
credit balance for the 1915 fiscal year was
more than twice that of 1914, and nearly
4OO,OOO,CO0 ahead OF that OF 1913 1t is a
common error to regard this as wholly
a matter Of expansion in our foreign
trade. The fact is that it is almost az
much the result of reduced imports as
of expanded exports. Moreover. the gain
in exports is itself due not so much to a
greater demand for our manufactures
as increasing drafts upon our foodstuffs.

All-American negotiations for the settlement
OF Mexican affairs do not appear TO be proceed
ing smoothly as might be wished, and may be
seriously delayed because of difference OF opin-
ion as 10 the status OF the "cientificos," for
mer adherents of Diaz. President Wilson wants
to ignore entirely this class Of Mexicans, because
they gave their support to Huerta and thereby
incurred the displeasure Of our president. SOM
South American representatives in the conSs=-
ence believe all classes of Mexicans should have
consideration and are therefore disposed to i'm
sist that the men who largely control Mexican
industry and commerce be permitted to have
something to say as to how the new government
Ehall be formed.
Carranza has also shown himself inclined to
further disturb the situation His action in ex-
relling in most summary fashion the minister
from Guatemala is not calculated TO further the
process OF peaceful adjustment. especially as 1t
Is alleged by the agents OF the "first chief" at

over, as a great many acts of the Mexican lead

the Editor of The Bee; Our family have
taken The Bee for several years for state
and local news, but during the next
year, or until the close of the war,
would like to take a paper that gives the
full account OF the German atrocities
and barbarities
We realize that as YOU have German
clientage. that that is the reason you
have to suppress as much as possible,
while giving whole columns TO accounts
of German-American singing societies,
etc.
So that these German readers cannot
complain. please publish list of, say, the
prominent New York papers which are
anti-German and pro-German. so those

And slim boots of perfect fit;
She was clipper she was chatty,
And she had a pretty wit
And her fair hair | might mention.
Was inclined to crisp and curl;
She had blue eyes like the gentian,
Had my little summer girl!
We would sit on the veranda
In the quiet evenglow,
And she seemed to understand
Fellows whims and wavs YOU know.
She had not peer at dancing,
And she caroled like a merle;
Truly she was most enhancing,
Was my little summer girl,
She could quote a clever stanza,
She could tell a funny tale;
She was life's supreme romanza
For one ordinary male.
And we golfed and bathed and boated.
Till my head was in a whirl:
was very much devoted
To my little summer girl!
Clear the skies that bruoded o er me,
All earth seemed in perfect tune,
And i dreamed I saw before me
An eternal honeymoon,
But at last there came o deadlock
And she said I was churl.
Twas when I suggested wedlock
To my little summer girl!
