the people of the rock" Though the
founding of the village Is lost in the
mist Of antiquity, it is supposed the
Acoma Indians chose this site as a
measure OF safety against the warlike
Apachcs ana Navajos Of their day
Their selection was made with ad
mirable judgment. for the walls of tn
rock are almost perpendicular
The earliest Spanish explorers found
the tribe settled securely in their natu

hghtfully untouched 10y the influences
OF Spanish and American civilization.
These Indians are quite well to do IN
sheep and cattle. which are pastured
on the grazing lands Of the valley
where summer villages are located and
where the minimum Of effort is re
quiIed to care for the tlOcks and herds
Although less than twenty miles from
a railroad the village is comparatively
unknown.
The natives do not care for curious
visitors. They DO not wish to be stared
at and photographed. Nevertheless.
the irrepressible tourist with his cam

Much of our future success in this
country depends upon our ability to
keep our young men on the farms and
away from the cities. Statistics show
that the farms are gradually becoming
depopulated and the cities are becom-
ing overcrowded, with from two to
five men waiting for every job. If our
young men would stick to the farms,
and improve and develop the unculti-
waited acres, it would be only ques-
ton Of time when the wealth Of this
country would be doubled and trebled.
Bright lights and white ways appeal
to the young eye, but they do not feed
empty stomachs. The farm is a good
place to be and a far better place to
stay.

OWNERS OF CANNERY

Tomato Plants are Furnished Girls by
LARGE Concern .MhsSh Purchases.

4 "A =
= Because the girls OF Tennessee are
learning to grow and can tomatoes
and other garden crops some men who
operate canneries have taken the at.
titude that the work the girls were
doing was competitive. Some have
even opposed the work OF the Girls
Canning Clubs for this reason. Other
managers of canneries have taken a
deep interest in the work and have
helped the girls get a start.
Such an interest was found in Clai-
borne county when the county agent,
Miss Elsie M. Duggar, began her du.
ties. As soon as the nature of her
work became known the owner OF the
cannery became enthusiastic over 1t
and offered to furnish the girls with
tomato plants and to give them a
home market for their tomatoes.

AS THE EDITOR SEES 1T.

The American people have one dis
tinct and besetting popularity. They
think today and forget tomorrow. In
this respect they are probably unlike
any other nation of people on the face
of the globe. To demonstrate the
force of this statement you have but
to glance at the pages of any Of the
great papers of the country. A SEN
sation will be sprung today and it will
be blazoned in big type over the front
pages of the press. Unless its i'm
portance is of tremendous magnitude
tomorrow will find it relegated to an
obscure corner of the paper. 1t is for
gotten. About the only exception to
this rule is the newspaper story that
is reeking and Shiny with scandal.
It holds the public eye and is played to
the limit.
