HAPPY IN SERVICE
WHERE WOMAN REALLY FINDS
HER HIGHEST JOY.
Ambition and Success, According to
Writer, May Give Peculiar Salts
faction. but Not Always the
Greatest Happiness.

Who is the happiest woman in the
world? Is it the woman who has writ
ten a successful book, or painted q
great picture, or done some other note
worthy thing to bring her into the
public eye?
No, far from it. Fame never yet
made any human creature truly happy.
On the contrary, it usually seeks to
spoil his peace of mind; it interrupts
his private life and makes all sorts
of insolent demands on his time and
thought.
When you are famous you belong to
the public, you cease to belong to the
little private circle of those who love
you.
ooh, for a quiet hour to sit down
sighed a man who is famous on two
continents. But, no, belong TO the
public, and the public does not give
me time to live"
Ask any woman who is doing what
the world calls great things, and she
will tell you, doubtless, that she is
happy in having satisfied her desire to
achieve some particular thing; but if
her face CLOVIS and she cries joyfully,
Il am the happiest woman in the
world ~ you may come to one of two
conclusions: either she is very, very
new at her accomplishment, the reac-
ton is yet to come, or else it is some
more intimate, more personal joy than
either her book or her picture that
gives the real crown to her happiness.
Ambition is q beautiful and neces-
sary thing but it is not happiness,
any more than a ten-mile tramp is
rest. And it never yet satisfied the
heart that was made for joy-as what
wOman's heart is not, even though her
joy gets half its bliss from sorrow.
Nay, the happiest woman in. the
world is not she who is filing some
lofty seat in the full glare of the pub
lie eye. 1t may be right for that wom-
an to be there. 1t was not meant that
all women should be happy to their
fullest capacity. Doubtless she is of
great use there. But she is not the
happiest woman in the world.
The happiest woman in the world is
she who is cOntentedly serving those
she loves.
That is the truth in a nutshell, and
any honest woman who looks into her
own heart with understanding eyes
will confess it.
What is life, anyway, but service?
All of us find that out sooner or later.
And the woman whose privilege it is
to minister to those she loves-whose
place in the world is to make life glad
for. those who love her-is the hap
piest woman in it.
1t is a privilege not given to all.
But let those to whom it is given
the sweet homemakers, the loved wives
and mothers and sisters-awake to
their joy while they yet have it, and
sing all through the glad days, for
theirs is the happiest lot on earth

TRY DIPLOMACY
President Wilson'S Policy Suggested
to Tom Supenor

Tom Supenor is still languishing in the
Otero county bastile awaiting the arrival
of some kindly disposed and sympashio
mortal who will sign $4,000 bond and
give him his liberty once more. He has
already forfeited $500 bond in the way
OF a certified check which he put up sew
eral months ago to keep the peace, and
few more would not work any great
hardship. Unless he secures the nee
essary bond he will spend the rest Of
the summer in jail. and that will be pun
ishment enough to fit any old crime, if it
keeps on being as hot as it has been.
In order to pass the time away we
respectfully suggest that Tom write
note or two to the sheriff and make
disyowal of the crime of which he is
charged. II he really did not intend to
infiict bodily harm upon the man whom
he slashed with knife at Rocky Ford
a week or ten days ago, and would
make disavowal of such an intent. it
might be alright with the sheriff. the
judge-maybe. of course we are not sure
about it. We only know that this scheme
works in some official circles. but we are
not advised as to how 1t would work in
official circles in Otero county. When
ever Germany or Mexico kills off few
American citizens. our chief pacifier writes
'em a note to find out whether they
really meant it or not. before he does any
thing about it. If they disavow intent to
do great bodily injury or mental affiietion,
why it is alright, and they are allowed to
go on their way. rejoicing at their narrow
sseape-and then to do it again II they
feel like it. Making dsavowal is the
easiest thing in the world. and it WORKS
SO beautifully in some parts Of the world
that it is at least worth giving tryout IN
otero eounty.-La Junta Tribune.
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1916-07-07

For many years each succeed
ing fair has proven just a little
better than the last and this year
will be no exception if the plans
now being perfected can be car
ried out. The demand for prem
ium lists that is being made is
proof sufficient of the interest
that is being shown among the
exhibitors, especially by those re-
siding in other places and the lists
which will soon be off the press
will contain some changes and ad-
ditions which will be an improve
ment to many of the classes. The
committee in charge of the amuse-
ment program are considering a
number of features, some of which
are new to this part of the country
and they plan to give everyone
the full value of their money.
Notes
The premium lists will soon be
