last week when the seventy-two
saloons were closed because of the
provisions of the Indian treaty. It
was big night in the "poor little
rich village" The saloons "died''
at midnight while three bands were
playing. All the evening had been
spent in music and drinking and the
| final toot was "some toot." Henry
A. Larson, federal Indian agent, was
on hand and threatened to pour all
the liquor he found in the saloons next
day into the cutters. That is why
the village which paid $500 for a
single tomato was selling champagne
at twenty-five cents quart. All
the stocks had been exhausted at mid
night.

SUPPLIES ALWAYS ON HAND
British Claim 70 Have Made transports
System at the Front as Perfect
as ls Possible.

When 1t Is mentioned that 1000 tons
Of goods-food and other necessities
are sent every day from the base de-
pots to the firing line of the British
army, some idea Of the gigantic task
Of the army service will be gathered
This enormous weight of goods, says
Harold Begbie, comes almost entirely
from England, for we are not buying
in France even so perishable a neces-
sity as milk. Vast stores are brought
from England and loaded into sheds
at the base depots.
All day by motor dory and railway
truck supplies for the troops are sent
out from these base depots to stores
as near as possible to the firing lines.
And just as reserves are accumulated
In the docks, so reserves are accumu-
lated near the front, since an accident
to the railways might cut of the fight
ing soldiers supplies.
On one occasion there was a delay
on the railways Of SO hours, but not
only did the soldier at the front get
all his food and ammunition, but he
did not even have to draw on the re-
serves 1 have mentioned; regimental
stores wero sufficient for his need

went in again and settled down
for the night. The guns never ceased;
in fact the sound Increased rather than
moderated in violence as the night
progressed. Quite suddenly strange
thing happened. The whole conflict
appeared to cease. As quickly as II
began, the fire Of artillery was abso-
lutely stopped. The first great silence
was even more impressive in it's way
than the preceding storm of tempes-
tuous energy.
IL was getting gradually lighter. One
began to feel that the coming Of dawn
was very near at hand. Out Of the
siIence--the deathlike siIence--a sound
now burst forth that made ones heart
stand still
II heard a voice." A tender little
warbling prelude suddenly fell on my
ear. Then pause. Then a soft note.
Another pause. Then holder note
STILL Louder and holder the note
sounded and finally turned into a
trill.
The lark had awaked with the dawn.
With perfect trust and gentle adora-
ton she let her voice ring gayly
forth, her delight in living, her &C.

New War Disease.

Physicians in Vienna recently have
had their attention drawn to a pc
culiar new disease among soldiers,
known as nyctalopia, or night blind
ness. To the night blind the capacity
to distinguish objects fails at twilight,
and even on moonlight nights they are
without the sense of sight. Sometimes
men do not perceive that they are
night blind until they stumble into
holes or are similarly reminded OF
their failing. In some instances the
disease became so virulent that it was
regarded as an epidemic. Night blind.
ness comes principally to persons who
are far sighted or near sighted. Over.
taxing the strength of body and mind
is believed to be the principal cause.

PEACE AFTER STORM
Song of Lark Followed Thunder

Contrast to Mans FerocIous En-.
ersy Of pestruetIVeness on
European Battlefield.

There had been much booming Of
distant cannon during the day. 1t
came from seven miles away. We
were well accustomed to the sound.
We had closed up night work at the
hospital; several patients were al
ready sleeping peacefully. spite Of
wounds, when I went to my quarters.
The usual monotonous thud, thud,
thudding of artillery fire at regular in
tervals had turned instantaneously to
something quite peculiarly virile. A
quick, nervous, excitable quality Of
sound from the big guns filed and rent
the air. -
AS two dogs, after growing discon-
tentedly for a whole morning, some
times fly at each other, and quite I'M
expectedly madly come to death grips,
so did the two opposing forces appear
to burst into the same wild, frenzied
wrath and go for one another with ali
the strength at their disposal. So
quickly did their deadly thunder pour
itself forth, one could not count the
cracks. 1t was one mighty roll-one
gigantic, appalling roar. grim, unre-
lenting, unearthly. The very room /
sat in seemed to partake of the vio-
lence; the earth shook and the walls
trembled,
One felt spellbound for little while,
fascinated by the awful changing and
booming and crashing in the distance.
The fighting seemed to develop in in
tensity as the night wore on. To com
plete the horror a high wind was
blowing, which added considerably to
the wild effect of the man-made storm.
For about half an hour l sat and lis.
tened. Then, although common sense
declared 1t was futile, gave way to
a longing to go out Surely with all
this noise there must be something
to see as well!
Instinct was right Over the plain,
toward the Belgian lines, there was a
stupendous scene. The whole horizon
pictured the temper of those frantic
guns. There was one great moving ex,
panse of crimson fire. ..

About four o'clock Grissom was

followed, and Grissom was enyeloped

STRAYS AWAY FROM HOME

A little neice of Mrs. Max Tafoya
who with her mother has been visit
ing Mrs. Tafoya for several days, was
out playing with the children and ac-
cidentally got separated from the 9TH
ers and became lost. She wandered
far away from home and a party of
neighbors and friends went in search
of her.
Several hours were consumed and
every place imaginable was visited in
the hope of finding the little child. A
mexican woman picked her up sever
al blocks from the Tafoya home and
the little girl was crying so she could
not tell her name or where she came
from, so the woman had some Of the
neighbors phone to central station"
and asked if any inquiry had been
made there. The High school was
then notified and Prof. Hofer soon
got the searching party and the little
girh together.
The little girl knew she was lost
but was unable to tell anything as
to where she belonged but the MeM-
can woman kept up her inquiry and
the little one was made happy once
more when she was returned to her
mother.

person is not allowed To shoot rab-
bit or even carry a shot gun across

ing "A license. This law will not and
could not he enforced because the cit
iacns of New Mexico have IA right to
protect their crops from all living
things and il would be an impossible
ity 10 build fence tight enough to
keep out this enemy of the farmer
The answer is as follows:

j. +. Lang, Puerto, n. NJ.
Dear Sir
Answering yours of the 2Sth, ask
ing about the article Leaded Must
Take Out n License" will say that il
Is. from all accounts, only too true,
that n license must be taken out be-
fore citizen Of this, or any other
county, can kill n rabbit even. The
plaques of Egypt were sent upon the
people without their consent. In that
case the people themselves were not
much to be blamed. In this case
where the people are to undergo the
rabbit plague, the people themselves
are more or less to bc blamed. Not
that they wanted this kind of legis-
l9tion, but that they elected the kind
OF people who constituted the ma jor-
ity in the late Legislature. When II
sovereign people so far forget them
selves and their interests that they
will elect bunch like they did to
represent them, they must take the
consequences. and in this case one
of the consequences that followed was
that no more rabbits must be killed
The said rabbit may now safely make
its burrow anywhere, to the detriment
Of the farmer and homesteader; may
eat up his young trees and growing
crops; may wax fat and multiply with
out let or hindrance, and the farmer
may not say him nay, unless, forsooth,
he take out license.
Think of it--take out license to
protect himself from an animal which
should he exterminated. And this is
the wisdom of the majority of the
Legislature. Are you surprised? And
are you strong enough for it that you
will vc'e next time to send this CD
brainy bunch back to make other sim
liar laws?
To the credit of the members from
Quay county he it said that no one has
even accused them of being IA party
to this action. Yours very truly,

~ will issue bonds to the amount of

farmer that we are willing to do any
thing to bring them here to trade.
This would not benefit any one man
or set Of men. but will bring compe-
teton which always proves beneficial

vor Of the proposition. while a mes
sage from San Jon stated the vote
there was about stand-off.
Ina was the first place to report
from the plains country. The vote
was about even; the vote at Quay was
II for and 80 against. This is ac-
counted for by most of the voters in
that precinct not believing the prom
ises made them but we hope they will
find out that they were wrong because
this one locality should have a good
road by all means. They are nearly
compelled 10 bring their stuff here TO
sell, therefore they would derive more
benefits than any other one locality.

that of San Jon voting against the

ity of SO, which is equivalent 10 de-
feating the issue il is feared.
