and guide the pillow. What is to be-
come of that nation where poverty
breaks the crowns of the queens OF
the home; despair hurls a mothers
love from its throne and hunger drives
innocent children from the schoolroom
TO the hoe?
The census bureau shows that 1885,
600 Of these women are f%orty-fve
years of age and over. There is no
more pitiful sight in civilization than
these sanity mothers Of Israel stopped
with age, drudging in the field from
sun until sun and at night drenching
their dingy pillows with the tears of
despair as their aching hearts take
ii all to God in prayer. Civilization
strikes them a blow when it should
give them a crown, and their only
friend is he who broke bread with
beggars and said: Come unto me all
we that are weary and heavy laden and
| will give you rest
oh, America! The land of the free
and the home of the brave, the
worlds custodian of chivalry, the
champion of human rights and the de-
fender Of the oppressed-shall we per-
nit our maidens fair to be torn from
the hearthstone by the ruthless hand
of destiny and chained to the pillow?
Shall We permit our faithful wives,
whom we covenanted with God to cher
ish and protect, to be hurled from the
home to the harvest field, and our
mothers dear to be driven from the old
arm chair to the cotton patch?
In rescuing our citizens from the
forces of civilization, can I'VE not apply
to our fair Dixieland the rule of the
sea-"women and children irst?'
There must be a readjustment of
the wage scale of industry so that the
m can be taken from the field or
given a reasonable wage for her serv-
ices. Perhaps the issue has never been
fairly raised, but the Farmers Union,
with a membership of ten million, puts
its organized forces squarely behind
the issue and we now enter upon the
docket of civilization the case Of The
Woman in the Field" and demand an
immediate trial.

Santa Fe-Remarkable are the disclosures
made in he final winding up Of the busi
ness Of the defunct American Bank and Trust
company at Clovis. The receiver. Charles

feature was that W. H.. Land, a Fort Sum.

Of notes and judgments. Besides, some ST..
900 in notes had been taken from the books
and charged Of as uncollectable. The sur.
prising fact is that the officers, stockholders
and employees Of the bank owed the bank SIG
347.7s while outsiders owed less than g..
900.
This failure, as well as that of the First
State bank at Las Cruces, have already re.
suhed in a banking act being drafted for
introduction in the legislature to put a quie.
tus once for all on political banking in New
Mexico.

Hillsboro-State CANT Warden Baca, it
would seem, is getting fetish in some respects.
In his annual report, which is now in the
hands Of the printer, it is said he protests
against the killing Of turtle doves and will
recommend an open season for bears. As
to doves, Mr.. Baca is right; the open season
for doves allows the killing Of the old birds
when they are Matching and rearing their
young which are left to perish of starvation.
But when it comes to a closed season for
bears the proposition becomes besrish. A bear
is a bear all the year around, and his prin.
cipal diet is fat cattle and his depradations
cost the stockmen OF New Mexico many thous.
nds Of dollars each year; the closed season
for bears should be established when all the
bears are dead-the taxpayers are paying
bounties for their scalps. Better give more
protection to the deer and the antelope which,
we have every reason to believe, are being
killed, in season and out Of season, by Ii.
censed and unlicensed game hogs, the law

Santa Fe-The volume of ancient Spanish
lore just acquired by Col. Ralph E. Twitchell
apparently verifes the contentious of those
who maintain that Santa Fe was founded by
Onate in August or September, 1905. Thi,
date is irreconcilable with Onate's autograph
on Inscription Rock in Valencia county, fol-
the date given with it is 1GO6 and reads that
it had been placed there upon Onate's re
turn from his expedition to the Gulf Of Cali
fornia, which is also the time that he founded
Santa Fe.
1t was only recently that F. W. Hodge
photographed the inscription so that the fig
ures 1900" stand out plainly. However,
there is a possibility of that inscription hav
ing been placed there even after the found
ing Of Santa Fe or that the figure rs" had
been transformed into the figure "6", which
could have been done without difficulty.

RAILROADS APPEAL

lief - President Wilson Directs
Attention of Public to
Their Needs.
The committee of railroad eXecu-
tiyes, headed by Mr.. Frank Trumbull,
representing thirty-fve of the leading
railroad systems of the nation, recent
ly presented to President Wilson a
memorandum briefly reviewing the diff
ticulties now confronting the railroads
of the country and asking for the CO.
operation OF the governmental authori-
ties and the public in supporting rail
road credits and recognizing an emer-
gency which requires that the rail
roads be given additional
The memorandum recites that the
European war has resulted in general
depression of business on the Ameri-
a continent and in the d"islocation
of credits at home and abroad. With
revenues decreasing and interest rates
increasing the transportation systems
Of the country face a most serious
crisis and the memorandum is Il
strong presentation of the candle
burning at both ends and the perils
that must ultimately attend such a
contlagratioI when the flames meet
IS apparent to all. In their general
discussion the railroad representa-,
tives say in part; BY reason of leg
islation and regulation by the federal
government and the forty-eight states
acting independently of each other, as
well as through the action of a strong
public opinion, railroad expenses in
recent years have vastly increased.
No criticism is here made of the gen.
eral theory of governmental regula-
tion, but on the other hand, no in
genuity can relieve the carriers of ex-
penses created thereby"
President Wilson, in Transmitting
the memorandum of the railroad
presidents to the public, character
ICES 1t as "a lucid statement of plain
truth" The president recognizing
the emergency as extraordinary, con
tinuing, said in part:
You ask me to call the attention
Of the country to the imperative need
that railway credits be sustained and
the railroads helped in every possible
way, whether by private cooperative
effort or by the action. wherever
feasible of governmental agencies, and
l am glad to do so because / think
the need very real"
The conference was certainly a
fortunate one for the nation and the
president is to be congratulated for
opening the gate to a new world OF
effort in which everyone may cooper
ate.
There are many important prob
lens in our complex civilization that
will yield to cooperation which will
not lend themselves to arbitrary rul-
ings Of commissions and financing
railroads is one of them. The man
with the money is a factor that can
not be eliminated from any business
transaction and the public is an inter
ested party that should always be con.
suited and happily the president has
invited all to participate in the solu
ton Of u railroad problems.

FACTS AND FIGURES
SECURED in THE
VISITATION WORK
Committees Visited 64l Homes
and Registered 1000 People.

The visitation carried on in our city
Sunday, Jan. II, was a record breaker
in several ways. Mr.. Washburn came,
and planned to put the work thru in
week, he told the people that he had
never before attempted to do such
work in so short a time. After things
were well started, the time was short
ened two days. There was more work
TO be done than those on the outside
realized, and only great diligence and
careful cooperation made its accomplish
ment possible in the time used.
When the visitors gathered at the X.
of p hall Sunday afternoon, the crowd
was found to contain almost every per-
son who had promised to come, and
quite large number besides, so there
were more volunteers than could be
used. Mr.. Washburn expressed graft
fled surprise at this condition, which
he said was unique in his wide eX-
perience.
The city was divided into 45 districts,
in each of which one team worked. APP
proXimately 64l homes and 2600 people
were visited. Throughout the work, a
beautiful spirit of enthusiasm was man.
fest, among both the visitors and the
people of the town generally. With
but very few exceptions, the visitors
were heartily welcomed, and they
heard many expressions of approval of
the work.
The entire expense of the campaign,
for Mr. Washburn S travelling expenses
printing, supplies and X. OF p. hall rent
was $17.9S, of which the Catholic, Pres
byterian and NJ. E. churches paid S4 sc
each and the Lutheran and L. ID. s. 81
90 each.
The visitation itself seemed to bring
people into a closer and more personal
relation with the churches of the COM
munity. But already follow up work is
planned and a systematic effort will be
made to make people realize the well
come the churches have always felt for
them, but possibly never expressed
with convincing warmth. The cards
turned in at the close of Visitation Day
and the conversations reported by the
visitors, revealed many things which
church workers have long needed to
know, and of which they plan to make
good.

FEBRUARY

Although one naturally might think
he would pick more comfortable wea-
ther in which to fly around over house
tops, history shows us the stork has
been busy old bird in Februaries that
have passed. For instance there are
Horace Greely, Charles Dickens, w. T.
Sherman, VIM. Henry Harrison, Abra-
ham Lincoln, Joe jefferson, George
Washington, Victor Hugo, and Long
fellow who sent their first infant cries
out upon a February night. Oregon,
Ohio, and Vermont also were born in
February.
To students of the almanac, the
second day of the month is the most
important of the twenty-eight. This is
Ground Hog" day, when the little ro-
dent is supposed to come out of his hole
and take a look at the weather. Should
the day be cloudy that no shadows are
cast, we may as well grease up the
spade and sharpen the hoe, for Spring
is come" But if the mammal sees his
shadow he will 60 scampering back in
to his hole and take all chances of
spring weather with him.
Our weather forecasts: The month
will open on the first. From o'clock
a. m, to 2:30 p. m, fair, followed by
cold wave and warm, gentle rain. Sec
ond to 3rd, warm, followed by sleet
and snow storm on the 4th. Fifth, dry
and sultry. Sixth, still dry, but better
take your umbrella along. Seventh,
hip boots and macintosh. These pro-
gnostications for the first week, if mem
orized, will serve throughout the month
and will come as near being correct as
any other indications" obtainable.
The best thing about February weather
is that there are only twenty-eight days

Thawing Out the Pipes.

At this season of the year Jack Frost
is apt,to make us lot of trouble with
the water pipes in our homes. AT any
time we may get up in the morning and
find that it is necessary to send in a
hurry-up call for the plumber or pos
sibIy get busy ourselves with boiling
water or some other agency to thaw out
the pipes. The records of the State
Fire Marshals Bureau show that dur
ing 1914 there were 66 fires reported in
the state which were caused by the
process of thawing out water pipes aud
the fact that due care was not used in
the job. These figures should serve as
a warning that not only ordinary care
but extraordinary care should be used.

SOME GASOLINE RULES

Every precaution should be taken in
the handling of gasoline. The tank of
gasoline stove should be outside the
walls of the kitchen, for if outside, the
heat from the stove cannot explode it,
and the vapor from a leak would be
carried away. The vapor could not
ignite from the burner while the tank
was being filled. The stove should be
fastened to the floor so that it cannot
be moved against the wall, and the
stove should not be set on box, shelf
or barrel head. II the tank is inside
the room, do not fill it while the stove
is lighted. Do not pour gasoline from
one vessel to another in the room where
there is a fire or light. The vapor OF
gasoline which cannot be seen will be
drawn to any fire that is near. Do not
fail to watch for leaks in the tank or
burner. When cooking by gasoline do
not leave the kitchen for any length OF
time. Always keep the cork in the
gasoline can. Lighting by gasoline is
dangerous. Gasoline lamps should not
be carried about. If a gasoline lamp
catches fire it should be carried out of
doors if possible, the person carrying it
going backwards so that the flame will
be drawn away from him. Many houses
and stores are lighted by gasoline vapor
made by machinery outside the house.
For use out of doors a gasoline light is
not as dangerous as one used indoors.
The gasoline lamp looks like covered
skillet on the shank of a big fishook
and is usually hung on posts or trees.
Being out of doors, the vapor from the
lamp is not so dangerous, as there is
not enough to make the air explosive.
Gasoline is frequently used for clean
ing grease from clothing. A pan of it
in a closed room will fill the entire
room with the vapor, and the chances
are there will be an explosion if
match is strnck. One who uses gasoline
for anything in room in which there
is candle or lamp is likely to be
severely burned. A lighted cigar or
pipe carried into a room in which the
gasoline is being used will explode the
air in it, Gasoline should only be used
for washing out of doors, and away
from buildings and away from smokers
When the washing is done the gasoline
should be thrown on loose ground
which will drink it up.

The Girls and Boys basketball teams
journeyed to Bellaire by special train
last Friday night and played the high

companied on the trip by brass band
and about As fans. The girls game was
very closely contested but the final
count stood s to in favor of East Jor-

The game between the boys teams
was fast from start to finish. During
most of the time the local team eXceled
in team work but was weak in throw
ing both field baskets and free throws.
Underhill, the elongated center for Bel
laire, was tall enough to keep the ball
well above the heads of the local boys
most of the time and he made most of
the points for his team. The game was
very clean and few fouls were called.
IMPRESS, the star forward for Bellaire,
was SO Will guarded by Cross that he
was unable to score single basket. All
of the local boys played well and the
team should develop into a sure win
