The Cannery Proposition

Mrs. Close is again agitating
the canning factory proposition.
She is deserving of recognition
and assistance. 1t is the duty
Of each inhabtant of the town

the town must keep on building
and the valley be developed.
Each improvement adds to the
value of all the property. We
must not hope for others TO do
all the improving if we can help
at all. Like the Lady's might,
mentioned in the Bible. We do
not know how much our little
assistance might mean. The
writer once read of an attempt
to launch a monstrous vessel, in
olden times. The power was
insufficient. The remark, IF
someone could push another
pound brought to their assist
ance near by boy, who declared
he could do that much. The
vessel was launched so the story
continues. Now any of us can
do as much as a little boy, so
come on. Say, Il will do all
that can. Most everybody
seems willing. We seem now
only to lack "A leader. Don't
wait for an opportunity to do
something; but go and offer your
assistance, Like when a house
is on fire, if there's no chance to
help any body, do something that
will be an advantage to the town,
country or yourself. If you
help youreslf you help others

Loyalty Of the New Mexico Press

Those who do not see the
newspapers of the state as they
come each week to the editorial
desk, little appreciate the won
derful advance that is being
made in this new and young
state.
We hear that there are only
certain things that can be grown
successfully here and that the
conditions are peculiar and eve "a
that no one can come TO New
Mexico who has not enough to
keep him for three or four years
before he can expect to make
his way.
The record that is being made
in the state does not bear out
the theory. The production
from the lands here Is far ahead
of that made IN the early days
by the pioneers of the middle
west.
New Mexico is today, the land
of opportunity. II is the true
Homeland. 1t is the actual re.
suit that speaks the loudest and
the record that is given weekly
by the press of the state pro.
claims more truely than the
shout of the croaker, what has
been and will be done here.

On On Uhltrrh Sunday

The churchless town drifts rapidly nto a
very undesirable place to live. Unrehteous
ness gains control of its government and sin is
winked at. The worst characters force their
way into society, often becoming the leaders
who are idealized by our boys and girls.
If you would up-hold the moral standard
of the community 60 to church next Sunday
and encourage the people who are working for
the best interests of our young people
Most if not all of you have come here to
better your conditions financially and make
homes for yourselves. Why not create a moral
atmosphere that is healthful for yourselves, and
in which your children grow morally strong.
The best way to do this is encourage the
churches and Sunday Schools.
Do not fail to attend services Sunday both
morning and evening

the citizens of this locality are

would publish the Law of the

JOHNSON IS OUT

showed up at the city hall yesterday,
making the trip from his home in an
automobile and remaining practically
all day at his desk.
On the morning of October Is. Com

save small boat near Perdido wharf,
sustained a severe fracture of his
ankle, the bones having broken in two
places when caught by the boat which
was being whirled about in the rough
seas. This was the morning of the
storm, and since that date he had to
keep to his room until few days ago
when his physician consented that he
make a trip to the city hall, and in
doing so, had to make use of clutches.
Commissioner Johnson was busy in
maze of work which had been col
lected in his department during his
absence.

In a
Presidential
Year

LEW IradlIlOnS are more Trmly rooted
in the mind, either of Wall Street or of
the community at large, than the ira
dition of :" hardtimes in a presidential
year.
But, the fact is undisputed, that, measured
by financial or industrial prosperity, the country
has been moving forward on the crest of a wave
of all but unparalleled prosperity We have raised
two grain harvests of magnitude never APP
preached in our history, and have sold them at
prices regulated by foreign demand probably
never Appropriated. Not all of these elements
of good fortune will be repeated in another year,
whether the continues not But the wealth
which the American community has accumu-
lated as result of its individual good fortune
remains tangible fact, no matter what happens
in the trade and production of this and the next
twelve months.
Yet while one group of people speaks enthu-
siastically of the boom of prosperity, another
group excuses its personal economics on the
ground of the hard times"
You may from force of your circunl-
stances be compelled to practice economy. And
here you can do it OF the most important
things you buy-your clothes.

GAR SHORTAGE HERE
MOST ACUTE IN THE
HISTORY OF PORT

According to weIl-informed rail-
roadmen, the car shortage at Pensa-
cola is the most acute in the history
of the port, and some considerable diff
ficulty is being experienced in handl-
ing imported products to destination,
especially if said goods are to be
transported north of Birmingham.
The shortage has been keenly felt
during the past several weeks, and
the arrival of steamers with manu-
featuring woods, which are to be
transported north of Birmingham,
made the shortage felt with much
force.
Previous to the arrival of the ma
hogany-laden ships, it had been plan
ned to use gopdolas, sent here with
export coal, for transporting the pro-
duct to Louisville. A part of the
woods are shipped to Chicago. This
plan was abruptly halted. however
when it became known that cars used
on the local division would not be
hauled north of Birmingham, as every
car of the gondola type is needed to
move coal to all points. In conse-
quence thereof, it isssomething of 9
problem to procure cars of sufficient
number to move the imported cargoes
Thus far, however, there has beer
no little delay as almost any sort OF
flat car, which is pronounced rea-
sonably safe, is requisitioned.

dock is we'll -filled in the south par

Several other imported cargoes arr
due very early this month, one Of
more being expected next week. Pro
vision is being made to care for such
and the outlook is good for no delay
in handling all offered.
