BORROWED FOR THE DAY

tMedford SUM-
The Emporia Gazette, edited by Viii
liam Allen White, OF Emporia. Kan, Is
generally recognized as the best couu-
try newspaper in the United States.
There may be a multitude OF causes,
but what pleases US most is the quaint,
wholesome humor which invariably IL
lumines editorial observations Of un-
usual penetration and power. The En-
poria Gazette is never dull II Is never
Grabbed. 1t always smashes things, as
it were, with a smile.
We quote the following editorial, not
because il is the best we have read,
but because it has universal applica-
tion and Is so characteristic Of the
temper of the paper. 1t is called ely
ing About the Editor"
IN F. Amrine, editor Of the Coun-
ell Grove Guard, devotes a column Of
his valuable space to denying one Of
the town lies about him. Every town
that has the same editor for a dozen
years builds up q myth about him In
the myth are many srories that are not
true: they grow-heaven konws how
in the air, and feed upon the malice
that Turks in every man 5 heart Every
man is not malicious But every man
has a little malice in his heart, and in
this malice lies grow as unconseiously
and withsl as beautifully as the love
vine twines around the horseweed.
Sometimes an editor hears these lies
about him; and sometimes it hurts and
puzzles him, puzzles him to know how
the lie started. Sometimes he sets out
to deny the story, to run it TO its source.
But denial does no particular good: and
TO find out how the lies started is i'm.
possible II Just grew.
"The editor with any philosophy in
him viii grin and let 1t 60 at that. He
has inevitably said a lot of things in a
dozen years that are not true. He
thought they were true when he printed
them. But those who knew they were
false thought he did II on purpose. and
50 the reaction came, and they lie
about him.

Pump win Not Handle Water


Work on the test well being put
down in hope of finding a sufficient
supply Of water for the growing need
of the city, is practically at a stand
still owing to the failure Of the pump
installed last week being uRable to
keep the well clear of water
It seems that The pump, of the sue
lion type, will not raise the water
and operations are suspended until
a centrifugal pump can be obtained.
There is some nine feet of water in
the we'll, and at the time work was
stopped the workmen were still in
the water bearing sands. The thick
ness of the water bearing stratum
will not be determined until the
well can be sunk the required depth,
or to the impervious stratum under
laying the water flow
II is expected that operations on
the we'll wilr be resumed in very
few days.

Crop Experts FOPecaSt Increase il
Cereal Production

\ summcry Of the June crop re-
port for the State of New Mexico,
complied by the government crop
rNprts shows that the June forecast
on nearly all cereals except winter
wheat is larger than the actual pro-
luction last year. The hay and
range are not up to the average
condition of the eight years past.
Prices are indefinite but are now
quoted lower on wheat and corn.
Oats are highcrJ Hay is higher. Eggs
and other produce sre higher than
last year and it is evident that the
government forecasers are not will
ing to predict an absolute decline
in any form of farm or dairy pro-
duce,
The estimated production of the
winter wheat last year was l,lii,000
bushels while the June forecast
shows only an estimated produc-
tion of 100000 bushels this year.
Spring wheat, on the other hand,
is predicted some 10000 increase.
Last years final estimate placed the
production of this cereal at l,0i20O0
bushels and the forecast estimates a
production of 100000 bushels dur
ing the coming harvest.
One hundred thousand bushels is
the increase predicted in oats. Last
years final estimate placed the pro-
duction at 2,i6O,O00 bushels and the
forecast predicts 2,260OO0 bushels.
Barley. which shall be lighter
crop this year than last in the Unit
ed States as a whole, will be decid-
idly heavier in New Mexico than
in former years. The final esti-
mate of this crop last year was, in
the United States 237,000,O0O BUSH
lis, in the state 26i,OO0 bushels and
the June forecast places this years
production, in the United States,
lS9.OOO.OOO bushels and i'm the state
32S,0OO bushels
The condition of the hay and range
in New Mexico, owing to the lack
Of early spring precipitation, is low.
II is especially low in hay the con-
1tion being graded at, eighty this
year while the past eight years the
condition of the hay in New Mexico
has maintained an average ON nine
ty. The range is recorded as only
eighty after a TEL year average Of
eighty-eight.
Prices given below are the aver
age prices bid on farm and dairy
produce on the first day Of June.
The first figures given is the figure
for the current month and the last

report of the ambusch of the Tenth
Cavalry, under Captain Chas. 7. Boyd
near Carizal, by the Carranza troops,
in which the United States troop
was practically anlhalated. Reports
received at San Antonio, Friday,
were to the effect that only seven

causalities is not known, at this writ

Carranza, tits understood, has or
dered the arrest OF all catholics

constitutional government of Mex

Troops are being rushed to the
border with all despatch and large
guns are reported to command ev-

Mexican state bordering on New Mex

troops and refugees fleeing for safe

towns are menaced with death on
every hand.
" National guards of every state in
the Union are being recruited TO
their full quota and the New Mexico
and Colorado National Guards are
already on their way to patrol the
border.
Many troop trains have passed
thru Clayton enroute south. The
exact number cannot be learned,
but almost every day sees from six
to eight regiments and their equip
ment passing thru.
Refugees reaching the border state
that all party differences among the
Mexicans have been dispersed and
the whole country is united in its
effort to wrest control of the situa-
tion from General Pershing, at any
cost. .". .s.
The actual scene of warfare is
laid on the western border but every
precaution is being used to have the
whole international border patrolled

taken an offensive step, acting only
in defense until such time as a sue
cessful drive for the vital and the
stragetic points across the border
can be made. N
