arose and walked the floor. talking
of what she was there beholding."
She believed in the ultimate annihf-
lation of the wicked and in the sleep
of the dead until the final judgment.
She travelled extensively Besides
covering all of the United States she
spent two years in Europe and nine
years in Australia seeking converts
to her faith. She wrote some forty
books whose aggregate circulation is
said to have been upwards of one and
a half million copies, and her writ

languages. Her income, which would
have been sufficient to have kept her
in ease, she used freely in the support
of needy enterprises and needy peo-
pie and sacrificed ordinary pleasures,

NEW YORK.-FOrty-nine stars in
the American flag! Yes, it is serious
ly proposed to create a new state
right in the heart of the thickly set
tied East. For Greater New York is in
revolt against the control of its af-
fairs by the state government 1t
demands home rule, but won't get
more than a shadow of autonomy
from the constitutional convention
now in session.
So the talk is of secession. 1t is
only talk now. but the seeds of polit-
ical action are sown in talk, and the
agitation foretells of a formidable
movement to cut New York state in
two.
The greater city, formed in 1898,
with Long Island, would form the
smallest state in the union in area,
not any bigger than little Rhode Is
land, but with more than 5000, 900
people the pfOpOSSu oCdIC VI -h0IiA@
tan would be larger in population
than any other American common
wealth except Pennsylvania.
The remainder of the state, with
about 100000 inhabitants, would
then rank fourth, the order being
Pennsylvania, Manhattan, Illinois and
New York. But which would be the
Empire State?" Would the title go
with the name with which it is now
associated, or would it belong to the
new city-state?
This is not going to be done today
or tomorrow, but it is on the calen-
dar. for a city of 100000 people
can't be expected to remain minori-
ty in the legislature of a state of H.
100000 inhabitants, and the constl-
tutionaI convention refuses to grant
representation in proportion to pop
uIation.

TIME TO PLANT
YOUR FALL GARDEN
The Garden Is a Great Help in Re-
ducing the High Cost of Living,
Should Be Given Attention.

Should BE Given Attention.
This year when everybody is liv-
ing as economically as possible the
garden has been an important feat
ure. Spring gardens, where there
has been sufficient rainfall, have been
good and have reduced the cost of
living in a markd degree. 1t be-
hooves US to keep this good work up
and plan now for a fall garden.
Keep planting corn for roasting
ears. Country Gentleman, Stowel 1
or Mexican June are good varieties.
Fertilize well and work rapidly
AS soon as one row of snap beans
are we'll up plant another. Keep this
UP till late August. 1t is best to
plant two rows at a time so that you
can use strips for sticking, made in
a triangular shape by tying or nail
ing at the top. Use third strip in
the fork to hold them apart. The
Kentucky Wonder and one to one
thousand are good varieties.
Sow Cabbage Seed.
Now is the time to sow cabbage
seed of late Flat Dutch variety. Sow
in protected places so that the sun
will not kill the tender plants. Wa
ter frequently with floor sprinkler.
Transplant and protect for few
days from the hot sun with paper or
bush. The same rules will apply
for tomato seed of some early vari-
ETY., such as Acme. The bed where
seed are sown should be rich so as
to get good plants.
Plant a few rows of Lookout
Mountain potatoes in deep burrows.
Cover lightly at first and add dirt
slowly as they sprout till you have
them on a level. Then make a good
mulch with oat or pine straw. 1t
will not do to hill up as we do spring
potatoes. Lookout Mountain pota-
toes are raised only in the fall.
Plant Blood Turnip beets, Long
White French turnips and bunch but
ter beans. Keep garden well fertliz-
ed, and don't be sparing with work.

Not Making Money From War.

The idea that America is making
heaps of money out of the war has
been exploded by the Times"
True, the balance of trade in favor
of America is unprecedented, but the
total foreign trade for the eleven
months ended June 1st was only $4'-
O61, O67,OOO, a gain of only $72,174'-
600 over the corresponding period IN
the preceding year and only $3Z,-
10000 over the year before that.
No, here in the metropolis it is EVIL
dent that America is not fattening off
the war. Though there are enormous
profits for the makers of munitions
of war their huge total does not on
set the losses suffered by other lines
of production and trade.

the fact that this is real world war
to wander into the by-streets where

OF INTEREST TO
HONESTEADERS

Santa Fe, March 28.-The To-
cal land office yesterday received
an important notice in relation
to the valuation of enlarged
homestead entries under the act
of March 4, last, that will be
good news to many homesteaders
in New Mexico.
The law provides that all pend
ing homestead entries made in
good faith prior to January l.
1914, under the provisions of the
enlarged homestead laws, by
persons who before making such
enlarged entry had acquired title
to land under homestead laws
and therefore were not qualified
to make an enlarged homestead
entry, are validated; if in all re-
spects regular, in all cases where
the original homestead entry
was for less than 160 acres.
The office also received an Or
der that those who want to file
on public land and receive a final
certificate must use their full
first name. Hereafter such alb
breviations as Ed" "Al,"
"Joe," etc., will not be con-
sidered by the land office, and
claimants must spell out the
Christian name. Even if it
should be Nebuchadnezzar, it
will not be legal for the claimant
to refer to himself as ''Neb.'
While the officers of the local
land office would not be justified
in rejecting an application to en-
ter land on the ground that the
did not sign his name
in full, they must be affixed,
even if it is necessary to append
them later on.-Albuquerque
