NEW REVENUE BILL PRAISED
Chicago journal Points Out the Many
Good Points Contained in the
Measure.

The best of many good things about
The new revenue measure is the in
heritance tax feature. The Journal
has been working for this tax for 10
these many years, and doubtless IS
somewhat prejudiced in the matter (;
but 1t feels that this alone is enough
to make almost any revenue bill en-
durable. The levy is not so high ag
could be wished, but it makes 3 pretty
good start. Once let the American
people experience the Justice. fitness
and democratic value of an inherit
nnce tax, and they never can be per-
suaded to go back to the old scheme
Of doubling the tariff when more
money is needed.
The income tax changes are not al
together satisfactory. 1t IS all right
to increase the charge against large
incomes, but the exemption ought to
be lowered. There is no good reason
why a single man with a net income
of $1,000 or a married man with ST.
600 more should not make Il direct
contribution to the expense of the
government. Also, there should be a
sharp distinction between earned in
and those derived from Inherit
ed wealth.
The munitions profit tax is frankly
emergency legislation, and must be
judged OF that basis. There is no
doubt that it will bring some needed
money or that it complies with a pop.
ular demand.-Chicago Journal.

WHICH WAY WIND BLOWS.

AT a recent meeting Of newspaper
men in Chicago, comprising represent
atives from four or five states, says
Sterling (Ill.) Gazette, n group of 10

Sale hotel renewing acquaintanceship
and waiting for luncheon, when one Of
the number invited the little group to
have a drink with him. One after an
other thanked the gentleman and de-
clined. Fifteen years ago, comments

CARE FOR FATTENING LAMBS
Worth While to Remember That Feed
Lot Should Be Kept Free From
Other Animals.

Many people are of the opinion that
a sheep is nothing but a scavenger
that needs little attention, but 1t will
be found that the more care and atten-
ton the lambs receive the greater the
profits will be. Among the items of
good care in fattening lambs the fol.
lowing are worth remembering: The
feed lot should be kept free from other
animals. Lambs should be fed with
regularity. Quiet in the fed lot is
important. Feed trOughs should be
kept rs clean as possible. Salt is nee.
essary and should be before them at
all times in a separate trough. Lambs
do not need much shelter, but a good
windbreak Is necessary and an open
shed whereby their coats and feet CAP
be kept dry gives the best results.

Peculiar Campaign Feature,

A painful feature of the presidential
campaign is the attempt of many Of
our esteemed Republican contempo-
raries to take rank In the high-brow
class. What formerly was simply he'll
llsh is now 'inept;" what was once
damnable cowardice is now 'incerti-
tude," and what in the good old days
was nothing less than downright Dem
ocratic idiocy Is now "fatuous." Are
we already beginning to experience
the penalties Of raiding the Supreme
court of the United States in search
of a candidate?

ORKNEY ISLANDS IN HISTORY
Christian OF Denmark Put Them Up
for Security of Dowry When His
Daughter Married James III.

NO other territory in the British en-
pre- mas a more tragic significance to
Englfshmen today than the Orkney is
anus, Off whose shores the most dis
tinguished victim of the world war,
Earl Kitchener, lost his life when the
cruiser Hampshire was sunk.
These islands, 80 in number. of
which only 80 are inhabited, are sep
arated from the mainland of Scotland
by the Pentland Firth, from six and q
half to eight miles wide. They were
selected as England's North sea naval
base not only on account of their
proximity to the field of operations,
u on account of their s~emi-isolatIon
and he advantage Of the superb har-
Dor or Stromness, In the largest island
Of the group, Pomona, which has IN
area OF 200 square miles.
While the original Inhabitants Of
the islands were Picts, whose round
lowers and chambered mounds are
among the interesting ruins of this re-
giOn, the Morse pirates secured q
foothold here during the early centuries
Of the Christian era. and carried on
their depredations against all naviga-
tors OF the North sea. In the last
quarter Of the ninth century Harold
Haarfagr put an end to the rule Of
he pirates, and added both the Ork.
neys and the Shetland islands to Nor
ways domain. In 1468 the Orkneys
came under the sway Of the Scottish
crown, Christian l Of Denmark giving
them as security for his daughters
dowry when she became the bride
of james III. AS the dowry was never
paid the islands have remained a part
OF S%cotland's domain ever since.
The Orkneys, which are the Orcades
OF classic literature, furnished the set
ting for many of the episodes in Sir
Walter Scott's novel, 1.-The Pirate" the

GOOD ADVICE,

A traveller entered an inn where q
Quaker sat by the fro. Lifting a pair
OF green spectacles and rubbing his
eyes, which looked very inflamed, the
newcomer in one breath called for
some brandy and made u grievous
complaint about his eyes.
"They are getting weaker and weak
err he said. "And now even the spec
tacles appear to do no good"
The Quaker looked first at him and
than at the brandy.

said he. "If thou wouldst wear thy
spectacles over thy mouth for a fei
months thine eyes would get wab

TO START BALL ROLLING
FOR A BIG COUNTY FAIR
Matter Viii Be Taken Up at an Important Meeting
of the Chamber of Commerce Next Friday Night.

President Claude Miller and
Secretary Bert Curless of the
Chamber of Commerce have
started the ball rolling for the
county fair and have made an
urgent appeal to all the members
of the organization to be present
at the next regular meeting
which is Friday night July 2lst.
This will be the most impor-
tant meeting of the year, a big
attendance is desired. At this
meeting a final decision will be
made as to what kind of fair
we are going to have this year.
The date will also be decided
upon.
1t is believed by many of the
members that the kbest time
for the fair would be about the
middle of October. BY this time
the crops would be laid by which
would give the farmers a better
chance to attend. Some believe
that if it is held earlier it might
interfere with the State Fair at
albuquerque the latter part OF
September.
The plan advocated is to ex-
tend the fair over a period OF
four days. This being a politicaI
year the suggestion has been
made that one of the days be
known as Political Day. another
Agricultural Day and Race
Horse Day. 1t is believed that
the Carnival which will be one
of the big attractions at the
state fair can be secured and an
effort will be made to get it.
A move is also being made to
get United States Senator Gore
OF Oklahoma TO make an address
on Political Day. Both candi-
dates for Governor of New Mex,
leo will also be invited to address
the gathering.
The leaders are anxious to
make this the best fair ever held
in Curry County, and the citi.
zens of Clovis are urged to get
in behind the movement and
push it. Don't forget the meet
ing of the Chamber of Commerce

New Mexico Lands Going Up

Well informed stockmen now
predict the time to be close at
hand when New Mexico grazing
lands will be in eager demand at
five dollars and up per acre.
The greatest fortunes in this
nation have been made ny mold
ing on to land once thought
worthless. There may be a
lesson for New Mexico in that
fact. Albuquerque Herald.
Land around Clovis in Curry
County brings from So to SIS per
acre. These lands are producing
from IL to 40 bushels of wheat
per acre. Just across the line
in the Texas Panhandle the same
kind of land brings all the way
from 500 to $50 per acre. We
are informed a Chicago coloni.
zation company is now bringing
homeseekers by the score into
Farwell and Muleshoe and SELL
ing them grazing lands at $50
per acre.
The only difference in Texas
and New Mexico lands here in
the Panhandle is an imaginary
line. The reason Texas gets
better prices is because they do
more advertising to get settlers,
therefore their lands are better
known. There is no good reason
why settlers should be paying
$50 for land in Texas just across
the border when they can secure
the same kind or better land
here at S5 to SIS per acre.
New Mexico should wake up
and let these homeseekers know
about our low priced lands. The
best field in the United States
for new settlers is right here in
Eastern New Mexico.
