OBSERVATIONS
PUMPKIN HILL TTEMS

The Pumpkin Hill postmaster
is advertising a public sale for
next Saturday, when the 81 post
age stamps carried in stock at
the post office will be turned
over to the lowest bidderin front
of Bill Spook's bed room. We
are told that after that day the
Humpkin Hill post office will quit
handling stamps, as there isn't
enough call for them. Our local
reporter, Pansy Strawberry, who
Is also the post mistress and ticks
all the outgoing stamps, has kept
an accurate account of all her
ticks and says that during the
last year she had the honor press
ing the garewell kiss on only 2
stamps and these were bought
by the the horse doctor over at
Dog Hollow, who run out of stick
ing plaster one day last month,
but still owes the money for them
AS our old scout. the postmaster
makes only 2 per cent profit on
stamps, it will impress the brains
of our Pumpkin Hill people that
he cannot support a family Of
fifteen on a credit sale Of two
stamps a season without putting
himself and family to consider
able inconvenience, hence the
motive for the sale. Our people
claim they don't buy more stamps
because the price is too high, ano
they want to wait until the pric,
goes down, but our postmaster
can't live on raw atmosphere and
cold promises and is threatening
to pull up stakes. He is figuring
on starting up a postottice in
Turnip Ridge if he can realize
enough on the sale of the b
to buy a railroad ticket
to that place.

LOYALTY WITHOUT WIND

True loyalty does not consist OF
getting out in public and shout
ng to the winds of the glories of
our country and how we can lick
che world with our hands tied be-
lind US.
We have a few such patriots"
but they have never set the world
afire and we never expect to see
them fighting for their country.
When bullets are singing and
shells are shrieking such patriots
are usually found industriously
fishing in financial waters far to
the rear.
What we need is patriotism that
impels a man to love his country
for what it is and for what it has
done for himself and for the rest
Of mankind. When a man is i'm
bued with this brand of loyalty he
will give even life itself for his
country when the need arises, and
will have no self plaudits to hurl
at his fellow men in Qualification
of his OWL acts. He will not dis
pense wind.
We have many just such true pat
riots right in our own midst, but
they r quietly pursuing their dali
ly routine, hoping and praying
that the government may steer the
ship of state safely through the
troublOus waters without the loss
Of honor or dignity.
Today they are simply loyal citi-
zens of the republic. Tomorrow
they may be heroes who have
fought and died for their country.
Who knows?

CONTRACTORS
KEPT VERY BUSY
State University Cannot Secure
Bids for Erection of New
Science Building

An interesting index to prosper
ity conditions in New Mexico and
the southwest is found in the fact
that the New Mexico State Univer-
sity is having difficulty in finding
bidders on it's two new science
buildings, the chemistry and phys
les laboratories, to be built this
year, at a cost of $50, 900. The
work had been advertised for three
weeks and bids will be opened on
June 25. j. L. LaDriere, the AL
buqerque architect in charge of
the bids, has received but six seal
ed proposals so far. Ordinarily
on a contract of this magnitude
there would be fifty to a hundred
bidders.
"The trouble is not with the
work, or the specifications, and the
University has the ready money
to pay" said Mr.. LaDriere in an
interview recently. But the fact
is that every responsible contract
or in the state has all the work on
hand that he can do, and most Of
them are tied up in contracts far
ahead. They simply haven't time
to take on another big job like this
one. There is not an idle contract
or in the state"
The new physics laboratory will
take the place of Hadley Hall, and
will be ready for use during the
present year, it is hoped. The
chemistry building will not be com
pleted until next year, In addition
to the two large buildings, a num-
Der of cottages are to built on the
campus for the use of students who
cannot find accommodation in the
dormitories. Albuquerque's high
school will contribute % freshmen
to the university, out of it's gradu-
ating class of 45. One of the small.
er Pecos Valley towns has entered
IL new students. Indications are
nov that the University will have
a freshman class of more than $50.

ESTABLISH BANK OF TYRONE

Tyrone, the big Phelps-D Dodge
Copper camp in the Burro Noun
atins, IA miles southwest of Silver
City. is to have a bank. A charter
was granted by State Corporation
Commission this week to the Bank

shares, 7. L. Lowe, 1877 shares.
and Harry Martin. 166 shares.
This is the eighth bank to be
chartered in New Mexico since the
first of the year and the second
bank to be established in Grant
county in the last two months, the
Union Exchange Bank having been
chartered several weeks ago.
Who the officers of the new
bank will be has not yet been de-
finitely decided upon.

the best use of concentrates. These
can be fed in self-feeder and can be
supplemented by various slaughter

etc. A byrproduct to be economical
should be fairly concentrated, should
be moderate in price per 100 pounds

leguminons hays fed in addition to the
concentrate help reduce the cost OF
production. In the summer, pasture
crops such as rape. alfalfa. bur clover,

economical and efficient supplements

cheap and efficient forage and grain
