about it? We like Cousin Dingey and

claimed Tommy, "he is our cousin
and anyway, 1 like to have him stay
with us. He tells such interesting
stories. But 1 do feel crowded"
Then there is only one thing to be
DONE" said Mrs Tommy positively,
I'VE must make the house bigger.
She said it in such a matter of fact
voice, that Tommy could hardly be-

of yours too, Tommy" said Mrs
Tommy, land 1 mean to get right to
work.
Before Tommy TittIe-mouse had
time to object or to agree or any
thing, she began nibbling at the back
wall of the home. Il don't know but

mind to do a certain thing. he did it
with all his might; so after deciding
to enlarge his house he went to work

A SURPRISE FOR THE GOAT.

1t is rather unusual, and therefore
all the more commendable for Secre-
tary of State Botkin to send scouts
throughout the state to round up those
automobilists who are delinquent in
the matter of taking out new licenses
for their cars. With the exception of
the prohibitory law, the rule is for
state officials to see to it generally
that the sundry and divers state laws
are vigorously enforced only in To-
peka. The reason is obvious. Topeka
happens to be under their noses.

THE FAILING MEAT SUPPLY.
A campaign of education for in
creasing the meat supply of this coun-
try has been decided upon by the
American Food Manufactures Asso-
citation. The seriousness of the situ-
alton is explained by the president of
the association, who states that within
the past fifteen years. the number of
beeves raised for market has declined
so per cent. The figures show that in
1900, 66 beeves were raised and sold
for each 100 population and in 1914
the number was but 26 to each 100.
He expressed it as his opinion that
unless the farmers can be prevailed
upon to raise more cattle for the table
the United States will be forced to de-
pend upon foreign countries for it's
beef within the next twenty-five
years. The expectation of meat to
Europe during the war is, no doubt.

is not a new one. Warning notes have
been sounded time and again and on
several occasions have resulted in an
agitation against killing calves, but
as yet no definate move looking to-
ward a solution of the problem has
been made. 1t is time that more

live stock in this country, which off

a new method of getting rid of the

combined some chemicals which, if
injected into the neck of the mos

necessary to do is to catch the mos

the mosquito is in a comatose condi-

told by psychologists that il the brain

PHIL H. LEN0lR IS
REELECTED SECRETARY
OF COMMERCIAL CLUB

SPECIAL eossEsroRpEHcs TO MORNING JOURNAL
East Las Vegas, N. NJ. Nov 12.-
AT the first meeting Of the newly
elected officers and directors of the
Las Vegas Commercial club, Secretary
Phil II. LeNoir was reelected by ac-
elamation. Mr. LeNoir, during the
year ne has been in office, has at
tanned a place in the forefront among
publicity men in the southwest, and
his work has resulted in material adj
Yancement for Las Vegas and its ad-
vertisement throughout the country
through advantageous channels.
The board decided to designate
special topics for discussion at its
regular monthly meetings The COM
mttees having to do with the sub
jects in hand will be present to give
fun Information, after careful inves-
usaton. This plan is expected to
bring good results. The directors
endorsed a bill now pending in con-
gress which, if enacted into law, will
make available for the New Mexico
Normal university and other state
schools an annual appropriation for
the advancement of rural education.

OPERATION OF COUNTY
UNIT LAW IS CAUSE OF
CONCERN IN LAS VEGAS

tspEciAL CONSEQUENCES 10 aoHHlHe Iou"HAli
East Las Vegas, ~ NJ, Nov. H.
Considerable concern Is being enter
tanned by the members of the city
school board as 10 what effect the re-
Gently enacted county unit law is to
have upon the East Las Vegas schools,
A member of the board stated today
that there is sufficient money in sight
to run the schools until the first of
the new year, but after that time 1t
is a matter of conjecture just how
much money will be available ana IN
what form it will be distributed.
If each thousand dollars Of taxes
collected is distributed pro rata all
over the county, the city schools are
likely to be embarrassed, but If the
complete distribution is postponed un-
til a large amount of taxes has been
collected, districts where there is the
greatest demand being given pref
erence there likely will be no serious
trouble Two things are certain, how
ever, one being that the schools will
not be closed. and the other that East
Las Vegas Will not receive as much
money for its schools under the new
law as it did under the old regime,
when East Las Vegas taxes went into
East Las Vegas education. The same
condition obtains in West Las Vegas
A ray of hope shines in the belief
Of some persons that the taxation re-
forms, begun at the last legislature
and now being carried on by the New
Mexico Taxpayers league, win in
crease the revenue to such an extent
that the county unit law will give
material aid to the country schools
without impairing the efficiency OF
the city schools
