REPUBLICAN BOOMERANG

The republicans Of Quay county in
convention Saturday here condemned
the expensive administration of the
present county officials of Quay oun
ty. They condemned the democratic
state officials also. II was supposed
that they did not wish to endorse Gov.
Mcdonald for vetoing the the numer
Gus county salary bills passed by the
republicans after they had unseated
three or four rightfully elected demo-
cratic legislators, in order to give them
O t~wo-thirds majority which would per
NIT them to run the salary bill ovcr
the governors veto. II is therefore
strange that the republicans of Quay
county would condemn a republican
salary bill as expensive. The News is
proud Of the record Of Quay county
officials, not a black spot on any Of
their records and some Of them are
admitted to be at the head OF the list
in the state.
The re~solutors especially denounce
the action Of the county commission
ers because Of the high assessments
This Ia also unjust. II. o. Bursum,
their favorite candidate for governor,
Is the daddy Of the present tax sys-
tenn. The commissioners tried and did
cut the assessment down twenty per
cent from that asked by the state
tar board, which is composed largely
Of republicans. The state board add
ed twenty-five per cent, and then very
nearly doubled the merchants'tax from
that made by the county assessor and
accepted by the county commissioners.
The assessment made on Quay county
property is no more than that made
In republican counties and while it is
no doubt too high in some instances
the system is rotten and until a new
manner of taxation is installed right
and justice will not prevail.
Here's what John II. York, a repub-
lcan county commissioner of San Nj
guel, says about the Bursum tax law:
The Optic was informed today by
John II. York that criticism of the
county assessors for being late in turn
ing in the tax rolls to the authorities
in Santa Fe is unjust, especially in the
case of the larger counties. Mr.. York
says the trouble arises because of the
provisions Of the state law, which does
not give the assessor time to do his
work. The law requires that the as
sessments be made in January and

PHYSICAL

Albuquerque, n. NJ, July 25.-In ad
dition to the fairly complete gymna-
SUM and athletic equipment of the
University plant, students at the Uni
yersity of New Mexico during the com
ing and future college years, will have
at their disposal the splendid new gym
indoor track and swimming pool Of the
new Albuquerque Y. NJ. c. A. building
built at u cost Of more than $4,000,
and just opened to the public. Use of
the Y. NJ. c. A. athletic equipment for
University students will be condition
ed on the payment of q nominal fee
and it is expected that general use
will be made of its privileges.
With the largest freshman class
that has ever entered the state uni
versity ready to register Ola August
22nd, when the University opens for
the l9lG-l9l7 year, Director Ralph F.
Hutchinson is preparing to go in for
a year Of aggressive athletic effort in
football, basket ball and track. Mr..
Hutchinson Is more than a coach. He
Is a physical instructor in all that the
title implies, and he believes in sys-
tematic physical training and develop
ment for every student. In fact Mr..
Hutchinson looks to his system Of re-
quired physical training for all stu
dents, to develop the material for his
teams, and thus far it has never fail
ed him. Last year he produced n win
ming football team, a winning basket
ball team, and q track team that took
second place in the interstate college
meeting at Tucson in June.
Physical instruction for the indivi-
dual is carried to its highest point in
the New Mexico University. Every
student is examined on entrance and q
careful note made Of all defects and
physical weaknesses. Thereafter n
special course Of individual training
is mapped out and persistently fol-
lowed out TO correct those defects.

FROM A SOLDIERS DIARY

The following is an extract from the
diary of DR.. Richard II. Miller Of Bos-
ton, written on the troop train. The
train carried the men and guns of Bat
terry B Of Worcester, and 1873 horse.
Sunday, July 2s-This morning we
found ourselves in New Mexico.
Stopped for four hours Mt Tucumcari -
n clean little place with two drug
3tores as good as any in Massachu-
sets. Another hot sunny day, but with
a little breeze. While we were in Tu-
cumcari, the headquarters Of Cd bat
terry with Battery d and the rcgi-
mental band came in. They formed a
rarade led by the band and marched
up through the street-an unwonted
Sunday morning sight for this quiet
town. Also n troop Of cavalry from
New Jersey, while we were there with
over 200 horses.

SATURDAY NIGHT CUSTOMERS

Do we ever think how much IL costs
for us to buy on Saturday night what
we could just as we'll or better buy
earlier in the week. IL costs about
four hours overtime each week for
the city's whole force OF clerks. These
four hours of work and responsibility
are added to what has already been
the most strenuous day Of the six that
we may go hurriedly at the eleventh
hour and buy u goods from q tired
clerk under an expensive light, which
ut best is not satisfactory, and get
home late and tired and d~ispleased
when we might have bought in n
quiet time, in daylight on Wednesday
or Thursday or Friday, when we and
the clerk had time and we're rested.
Is there any necessity for such late
closing hours as Clovis has7 Our ac-
c%omodating store keepers have thought
to please the public by giving an OPP
%portunity for Saturday night trade.
They and their clerks cheerfully re-
main on duty these extra hours and
literally wear themselves out, when
they are as tired and want relaxation
as much as we, solely that they may
accommodate us. This is not a money
making proposition for if all stores
closed at six o'clock we would trade
about the same amount. II is little
more than a costly but thankless favor
that n little courtesy on our part would
decline and render unnecessary.
There are Of course a number OF
people who work all day every day
These ought to be remembered. Blu
two nights about pay day and two
extra hours on Saturday nights would
give them abundant opportunity for
trading if only the rest Of us would
not presume upon their time. Let
US be as courteous as our merchant
and their clerks and give them NOR
time to call their own.

the way Of sin~ners."-by the counter

THE OWOSSO TINES
OWOsSO, MICH, MARCH II, 1915

BY q vote of 346 to IA the house of
representatives on Thursday voted to
repeal that part of the Underwood
Simmons tariff law which would put
sugar on the free list May list, the law
providing for the removal of the one
cent pound tariff on that date. The
senate will undoubtedly pass the bill
at an early date and the sugar industry
will then in a measure be protected un-
til Republicans are again in power and
can pass legislation which will result
in large increase in the number of
sugar factories in this country. Thir-
teen of the negative votes were cast by
Democrats who refused to be bound by
the caucus decision and who would not
give way on any of their free trade
ideas The discussion on the bill occu
pied part Of two days. Representative
Fordney makina the main argument on
behalf of the Republicans.

feet square. For reseeding a lawn,
one-tenth to one-half of this amount
should be used, according to the con-
dition Of the lawn at the time. For
the northern part of the United
States Kentucky blue grass and red
top are the standard varieties. How
ever, where there are many bare
spaces it will be found well to use
some white clover. About one-tenth
the quantity of clover as of the other
grasses mentioned will be required.
Probably as good time as any to
apply grass seed will be some morn
ing when the ground is frozen, so that
when the ground thaws during the
middle of the day the sown seed will
be covered sufficiently to terminate
well. The most successful seeding is
that done while the ground is freez-
ing little each night and thawine
again in the daytime. Many people
have success in sowing grass seed up
on light snowfall at time when the
snow is likely soon to melt. With
either of these methods, however,
there is danger that birds will eat
some OF the seed before it is covered
in the soil. In spite of this, however,
there is better chance of getting a
good lawn by these methods than
when the seed is sown on land that
will not quickly cover it.
The last operation in the prelimi-
nary spring care of lawn is to give
it good rolling. This rolling, which
should be done with as heavy a roller
as can be handled, should not be be-
gun, however, until after the lawn is
dry enough so that the roller passes
over it without sinking at any point
below the general level. If the land
is too wet the roller will leave de-
pressions. This rolling should be done
just as soon as the land is dry enough
to permit it, as rolling compacts the
soil about the roots Of the plants,
brings them into closer contact with
the soil, and gives them better OPP
portunity to make a quick start as
soon as weather conditions are favor.
able.
Grass cutting should begin just as
soon as the lawn mower can get a
good hold. The very early cutting
may be made with the lawn mower
set close to the ground. AS soon as
the growth of grass becomes a little
less vigorous, the mower should be set
just as high as possible. This high
cutting should be done as frequently
as though the grass were being cut
shorter.

ARMY ENTERS MEXICO.
Caranza Troops Cooperate With
United States Forces.

Washngton.-Newton ID. Baker, Sec
retary of War, made formal announce
ment that American troops had cross
ed the border into Mexico. After
making it many questions were put
to him regarding the expedition, but
he begged to be excused from going
into details.
Secretary Baker indicated that in
formation reaching the War Depart
ment was to the effect that Carran-
zista military authorities generally in
Chihuahua were apparently prepared
to cooperate and were not putting
obstacles in the path of the expedition.
The rigors OF press censorship
were experienced here. Not even in
the Spanish war vas the suppression
OF news so marked. Only routine dis
patches telling Of the movement OF
regular troops to the Mexican boun'
dary were given out at the War De
partment.
