GOOD AND BAD CITIES.

A city or a community is no bet
ter and no worse than the people who
live in it.
If it is a good city or good COM
munity it is because good people live
there. If it is bad city or a bad
community it is because bad people
live there.
If city or community is noted
for lawlessness, for vice, for any evil
thing, it is because the people who
live there are either lawless or given
to vice, or are willing for that copdi-
ton to exist.
So that when an effort is to be made
to make a city or community bet
ter, the first step is to make the peo-
pie better.
A city, community, is made up of
individuals, and the character of the
city or community is established by
striking an average as to the charac-
ter of the individuals living there.
A mans reputation is made by his
acts, by his daily life. The same thing
is true of city or a community.
Good people may live in bad city,
but if the reputation of the city is
bad it is a sure sign that the good
people are in the minority.
It is also sign that the good peo-
pie have not been very active in as
serting themselves. For whenever
they try, the good people can take
charge of things, they can go to
work and make their city a good city.
If city remains bad, it is because
the people who make up the city are
not putting forth the efforts to make
it good city.-Anderson Mail.

ASKEW HAY BARN IS
BOUGHT BY BULLOCK
ESPECIAL eoeHesronoraee 10 MORNING JOURNAL

SPECIAL CONSEQUENCE 10 MORNING JOURNAL
Artesa. n. NJ. Jan. 3. T. Il. Bul-
lock last week purchased the Askew
hay barn on East Main street the
consideration being $1,000 cash. This
is the largest hay barn in the Pecos
valley, if not in New Mexico. and has
for several years been used for stor-
ing alfalfa hay by local dealers. II
was built and originally operated by
j. H. AskeW, who afterwards novel
back 10 his old home in Arkansas,
and because he was no longer a resi-
dent here was willing TO sacrifice The
property at the price stated.
Mr. Bullock, the new owner has
been in the hay ana grain business
here since moving trom Hereford,
Tex, about three years ago. lie hal
about S200 at the time he landed il
Artesia, but by hard work and per-
sistent hustling he has succeeded in
building up one of the best paying
little businesses, local, in the Peeos
valley, and has also become recog-
nized as "A large shipper q. alfalfa
hay When hay WAS hitting the rock
bottom prices of $3.50 and $500 per
ton last spring and only a few of the
farmers were selling at all Mr.. Bul-
lock saw the opportunity to clean up
a handsome profit. for he had faith
in the ultimate recovery in price Of
the Pecos valley hay. He leased the
hay barn he has just purchased and
stored it full OF high-grade alfalfa at
low prices and when the raise came
(alfallp is now $3.50 f. o. b. Arte-

held. 1t is said that this one deal

has in prospect nine schools which
will be erected this year.
There is a difference between the
mountains and the valley. In the
mountains thgre are no rich farm
lands to form the basis of bond is
sue. The people have to work hard
and work all the time to get enough
to keep the mare going. Their
sheep and goats, with an occasional
herd of cattle form their all.
y trip to the mountains by two
guests of superintendent Atanasio
Montoya a few weeks ago was highly
illuminating The party specially
conducted By Tony Michelhach, vis-
tied four schools. The first was at
Carnuel, where Miss Senaida Gonzales
was teaching twenty-seven young Am
orleans their lessons in right living
and patriotism. Here, as everywhere,
the American flag flew outside the
building and the lesson of patriotism
was the one most stressed At La
Tijera Miss Beatrice Espalin had
class of eighteen, all of them bright
faced chaps that showed excellent
progress in their work At Sedillo,
Miss Mary Leaning, with Il class Of
sixteen, was dong equally good work
Tho Barton school.
Way up at the other end of the
canyon Miss Henrietta Weser 1915
graduate of the University of New
Mexico had spickspan bunch of
children in a spick-span school house.
How well Miss Weiser stands with her
pupils may be gathered from the fact
that when the official photographer
came TO take picture Of the school
group there was almost a riot among
the little girls as to which one should
stand next to the teacher while the
picture was being taken
They have a new school house at
Barton-a small cut of it appears on
this page. 1t was built by state aid
and also by the aid of number of
the patrons of the school. who gave
their labor in putting up the building.
This is the sort of education that
counts. 1t is the sort of education
that raises men and women who de
velop the highest and best type of
craftsmanship.
And there are nine more such
schools for the mountain districts
now just about to be built The
money is already available, the plans
are already formed, and with the
driving force Of superintendent Alta
nasio Montoya behind the movement
nobody can doubt that those kids in
the mountains viii have new school
houses by the time school opens next
