Quality, Not Quantity.

The widespread use Of the automo-
bile is, without doubt, largely respon-
sible for the increasing number Of
fishermen OF brooks easily accessible.
From almost any city, an angler or a
group of anglers can I'm an hour or
two hours time run out to some Sc
questered stream and, If they are
skilled in the art Of fishing, return
home at night with a respectable show
Ing Of trout. While big catches are
often made on near-at-home streams,
the angler should not anticipate them.
If he is thus recompensed for a days
try he will be far happier than II he
starts I'm the morning with big ex-
pectations and returns at night with
a slightly. filed creel.
The true angler for brook trout
should not measure his days sport
solely by the number of trout he
catches. Quantity to him is only a part
of the game, and not the most inter
esting part.-Outing.

erybody, of every complexion, tiOcks
early to the Pueblo, and before the sun
is well above the beautiful Taos range
of mountains the grounds are alive
with n strangely mixed throng, and
with fiesta booths where are displayed
Tor sale melons, pinon nuts, blankets
and scarfs of native manufacture,
Pueblo pottery and Apache baskets.
10 the tip of the tall pole are hung,
by a nimble Taosan, the harvest offer
ings Of melons, bread and a slain
sheep. Another mass is celebrated In
the little chapel, and the statue of
Saint Jerome is borne out, under II
canopy, and respectfully installed in
a bower of aspen bOughs, to preside
over the days dOlngs, as 1t were.
A foot race by selected runners,
symbollcally painted, from either casa
grande or great house." Is followed
by a dance, again, to celebrate the vic
tory, and from the roofs of the trl-

the dancers with bread in token of the
suns bounty.
AT noon open mouse Is Kept, and to
the generous tables anyone is well
coined, whether or not he Is expected
to leave a coin as his expression Of
thanks for hospitality. Extensive shop
ping is INDUCED In, from booth to

pect Of an Oriental bazaar, until short

browning feature Of the day-the his
toric delight-makers.
OF lineage and clan older than rny
records extant in this romantic South
west, these clowns, seven in number
and gr~Otesquely adorned, perform their
licensed antics, until finally. at sun
set, they swarm up the smooth pole
and as their reward detach the melons.

OLD PRESCRIPTION.
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

A medicinal preparation like DR.. Xii
mer's Swamp-Root, that has real curative
value almost sells itself. Like an endless
chain system the remedy is recommended
by those who nave been benefited to those
who are in need of it.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is a physi-
clans prescription. 1t has been tested
for years and has brought results to count
less numbers who nave suffered.
The success of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root
is due to the fact that it fuflls almost ev-
cry wish in overcoming kidney, liver and
bladder diseases, c~orrects urinary troubles
and neutralizes the uric acid which causes
rheumatism.
Do not suffer. Get a bottle of Swamp
Root from any druggist now. Start treat
ment today.
However, if you wish first to test this
treat preparation send ten cents TO DR..
Kilmer & Co, %Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

Ing their ancient community houses
filling their ancient fields and tena-
ciously observing their ancient customs.
The route from Colorado down
through northern New Mexico to old
Santa Fe %traverses the most fertile
and picturesque section Of this stored
Pueblo country, where the work of the
living and of the dead are alike promi-
nent, and supplies easy access to that
n greatest of these Indian communi-
ties In all the Southwest-the Pueblo
of San Geronimo de Taos.
NOrthernmOst of the PueblOs 1t Is by
map 90 miles northeast of Santa Fe,
and by wagon and auto road only 20
miles east from the railroad station Mt
Taos Junction, where automobile
stages meet the trains. The Pueblo
was visited as far back as 1910, by the
Spanish explorer fernando de Alvar-
ado, of COrOnadO's army. 1t was made
u Spanish mission, given a priest, and
Christened San Geronimo (Salnt Je-
rOme), as early as 1917, and since
those dates has changed little.
Here, annually, on September 80,
the 600 inhabitants of the two MASSEY
terraced clay community houses,
which rise tier on tier to the height
of five stories, celebrate the most i'm
pOrtant of their tribal feasts and
dances-the festival of San Geronimo
Day; dedicated, ostensibly, to their
patron saint, but really a thanksgiving
to the sun-gOd for the harvest.
This festival, so old that the patrl-
Rrchs of the Pueblo know not its be-
glnnings, each year attracts spectators
from all yer the United States, and is
attended as well by other Pueblos, by
Apaches and NavnjOs. AccOmmOda-
tions for the AmericanOs are found In
the adjacent town of San Fernandez
de Taos, two and a half miles by a
good road, where the Mexican pOpula-
tiOn Of the surrounding country add
their fiesta merry-makings TO those Of
the TaOsans.
Beyond the observance Of those or
binary -pOlitenesses, which devOlve up
on any intruders into private grounds
flor the Pueblo owns its lands), guests
are unrestricted and therefore, rarely
is such opportunity given to witness
a truly Indian celebration. Spectators
should arrive on the morning of the
Doth, if possible, thus they will be en-
abled to see the daily life Of the
Pueblo and in the evening will witness
the ceremonies by which the feast IT.

CAN YOU BLAME Us?

An instance showing how the white
paper famine is hitting the smaller
newspapers is shown by the following
from the Breckenridge (Ky) News:
The white paper on which the
Breckenridge News is now printed
costs $3.50 a ton. 1t formerly cost us
s65 a ton. Can you blame us for
raising the price? We used to pay
five cents a dozen for our eggs: they
now cost us twenty-five cents a dozen,
and before the winter is over they
will probably cost us thirty or forty
cents. And there is the old rooster
we used to buy for ten cents, now
costs us seventy-five cents and q
dollar. Flour, meal and meat are
double the price we used to pay.
These things all go into the cost of
producing a paper. We aRe up against
it good and hard and our only way
out is to advance our price. Can YOU
blame us? ?'
We do not know how the price Of
eggs, roosters, -four meal and meat
go into the cost of producing a news
paper, but we do know that doubling
the cost of white paper has a very
direct effect on newspaper costs and
publishers everywhere are forced to
take radical steps to meet it.

AROUSEs ONLY DISGUST

The question of veracity having
arisen between Norman Hapgood and
Victor Ridder, as to whether the
latter. who is publisher of the New
Yorker Staats-Zeitung, dictated a
speech for Mr.. Hughes, the Republi-
can candidate for President, to de-
liver, the New York Evening Post
sums up the situation very tersely SIS
follows:
1--we don't think the public will
taxa much interest in the row be-
tM~1eh Norman Hapgood and Victor
Ridder. The statements on either
hand are not edifying. When it comes
down to a petty wrangle, with accu-
sations of lying shot back and forth.
over the question which set of poll
ticians angled hardest for the German
vote, outsiders can do little more than
express their incredulity and disgust.
1t is a mess which should never have
been stirred up. But behind all the
personalities, and the charges and
counter-charges. there stands one
ugly fact, disclosed afresh by this
squabble, in which the public Is
bound to take keen interest And
this is the fact that there is an at
tempt to solidify COMMUNICATIONS
in the coming election. and have their
vote cast in blind anger against the
President of the United States. This
is the really sinister aspect of the
case; and none of the quarrelling
about who began it or who sought to
get political advantage out of it can
alter the bad impression which has
been made and which is deepening
every day. And we believe that the
more the leaders of the German
Americans brandish their anti-Wilson
votes, as if they were so many knives
the greater will be the likelihood that
enough resentful Americans will be
found to more than offset at the polls
the vengeful group"
