Rocky Mountains
Denver Colorado, with over 300 600 population, and
Ell Paso Texas with about 100, 600 population The
richest part of the Rocky Mountains in natural re.
sources farm lands timber, minerals water power,
climate and scenery lies about half way between Den
yer and Ell PasQ.
This rich country is developing with all the rapdity
that the great surplus capital Of the u. S. make it.
Farmers are now taking up the farm lands miners are
developing the rich gold copper, zinc, lead iron and
coal mines.
This rich country half way between Denver and FL
Paso must have convenient wholesale and manufac-
turing city Santa Fe New Mexico "The Cultured
City of the Rocky Mountains is the only logical point
for such city. %
Santa Fe is 335 miles by railroad north of Ell Paso,
48O miles by railroad south of Denver GA miles by rail
road west of Oklahoma City.
Santa Fe is the only city in this section with more
than one railroad. Santa Fe is now the junction of
three railways the New Mexico Central the Atchison
Topeka & Santa Fe and the Denver and Rio Grande.
Santa Fe now has approximately 10000 popula
ton and will be as large as Denver soon as men and
money can make it, because Santa Fe is surrounded by
richer natural resources with climate that is drier
and cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter
AS one example of the many developments now 90
ing on in and around Santa Fe three million dollar
company composed of Philadelphia capitalists are
damming up the Rio Grande river close to Santa Fe to
make electricity by water power. Then Santa Fe will
have electricity cheap as Niagara Falls 1t is esti-
mated that cheap electricity has added one million to
the population within 100 miles of Niagara Falls
SANTA FEE is THE CENTER OF THE WORLDS
MOST WONDERFUL so MILES SQUARE
WE ARE SELLING CHOICE LOTS IN THE
SOUTH PART OF SANTA FE THE ONLY WAY
THE CITY CAN GROW. These lots are surrounded
by nice homes and within few blocks of the center
of Santa Fes population

MANY THOUSAND SHINGLES
SHIPPED BY PARCEL POST

popular Mechanics Magazine.)
A Western lumber company made
exceptional use of the parcel-post
system not long ago when it shipped
a consignment of 10000 shingles
through the mails. The destination
of the shingles was fifty-two miles
from the shipping point and the pos
tai charges were less than $50. AL
though shipment of this size is un-
common, the parcel post is frequently
used in the Western States to send
supplies to remote places in the stock
raising country as well as to the
mines, many of which are far from
the beaten paths of travel, and so
have no adequate railway facilities.
The lot of shingles referred to went
via a star rural delivery route.

GOVERNMENT TO SUPPRESS Elk.
CESSIVE USE OF GASOLINE.

Warning of the possibility of dras-
tic action by the Federal Government
to stop excessive pleasure use of au-
tomobiles during the war in order
that the gasoline needs of the United
States and its Allies may be met, is
given in a statement issued by Di-
rector Van H. Manning, of the Bu-
reau of Mines, in which he asks the
cooperation of automobile owners in
stopping the practice.
Enough gasoline to care for the re-
quirements of America and perhaps
that of its Allies will be saved, in the
opinion of Mr.. Manning, eff automo-
bile owners of the country will stop
unnecessary and eXtravagant pleas
ure riding and if the owners and
dealers handle this fuel in a careful
and economical manner"

FOR MOTHERS, SISTERS, SWEET
HEARTS.

Have you son in one of our army
training camps, brother, or a
sweetheart? Read Mary Woodson
Shippey's stories in the Southrn
Woman's Magazine of all the splen-
did things these boys are learning
in Uncle Sans big soldier-schools.
Perhaps you will be little bit less
lonely and less sad when you realize
what wonders in the way of training
and discipline, and what wonders in
the way of true reverence and patri
otism and ideal manliness are being
developed.
Our boys will be finer men to the
very end of their lives, because of
the service they are giving to the
world.
You will be more than glad to read
what Mrs. Shippey has learned about
all of this at first hand. Next month
she will tell about the boys in the
artillery and cavalry training camps,
and after that she will write of the
aviation school whose graduates are
to take so spectacular and so ire
mendous part in winning our vic
tories.

COMMA IS A LITTLE THING, BUT,
OH, MY!

A comma is a little thing, sang a
soap-box lyrist in Times Square, in
New York, the other afternoon, but
OH! oh! what difference it makes
here and there. Grammar for the
masses was the plea of the shirt
sleeved gent and he was retailing it
at 80 cents a throw, binding in
Guided.
To show, the value of the little
comma he wrote upon the black
board at his back, the sentence:
"Ah! Woman, without her, man is
but a beast"
An excellent sentiment, agreed the
street corner philosopher. But look!
The comma was transferred and thus
the sentence read:
"Ah! Woman, without her man, is
but beast"

PRESERVE WHAT YOU CAN.

Preserve what you can. Can what
you-can. Dry what you can. Lose
nothing of perishable products that
it is possible to save.
Preserve as many products in your
garden as you can. Can, Dry, Evap-
crate, Pickle or Brine. BY the drying
method, all of the surplus water is
driven off by placing the products on
trays in the sun, over stove, or be-
fore an electric fan. Dried fruits and
boxes tight enough to exclude in
sects. Soaking in water will bring
the products back to large extent
to their original state, and they may
be cooked like fresh products.
There may be a shortage of cans
and glass jars, but all kinds of re-
captacles can be utilized. Put fruit
juices in ordinary bottles, sealing
with a cork and paraffin. Preserved
or famed fruits or berries can be
put in glasses and sealed with par
ATTN, or in wide-necked bottles if the
cans or jars are not readily obtain
able.
Dry such vegetables as sweet corn,
snap and string beans, shelled beans.
shelled peas and the root crops. If
you have plenty of cans or jars all
of the above named vegetables can
be canned. Write for bulletin on can
ming if same is desired.
Do not have an empty container
in your home next fall. Do your part
to prevent food waste.

few cases of infantile paralysis have
been reported throughout the coun-
try. Paris people recall the fearful
epidemic which swept over New York
and a number of large Eastern cities
last summer, and doubtless many
have wondered why, with the return
of the hot, summer months, it had
not broken out afresh.
Here is the solution. Last fall in
New York there was perfected a very
unique organization known as the
"Anti-Litter League" The members
realized that through clean streets
and good sanitary conditions they
could prevent repetition of last
summers epidemic. 1t often takes a
great calamity to arouse a people to
action. Before old Pharaoh would
give his consent for the children of
Israel to depart out of tie land of
bondage his people were afflicted with
a number of plaques, but not until
the death angel visited the homes
of the Egyptians and killed the first
born in every home would the Egyp-
tian ruler give his consent. Even so
it required strong measures to awak-
en- the people of New York. And
when they did the "Anti-Litter So
ciety" was the result.
Here in Paris each and every man
and woman should be an "Anti-Lit-
ter Society" within themselves
Carelessness is to blame for streets
and sidewalks being Uttered with
scraps of paper, banana peels and the
hundred and one things which the
people in their thoughtless moments
cast away, without even giving
thought to the results. Garbage cans
may be placed at convenient places,
but some people think they are there
solely for ornamental purposes, or at
least they fail to make use of them.
There is no need of waiting for an
epidemic of disease to start in Paris
before beginning to keep the streets
and alleys clean. Now is the best
time to throttle an epidemic-before
it starts. 1t can be done, as it has
been done in New York, only when
every man and woman in Paris ap-
points himself and herself a COM
mittee of one to see that the streets
are not Uttered up.
All of those U-boats have to start
from somewhere, and they have to
have somewhere to go for their sup
plies. That's why we can't under
stand why someone hasn't discovered

Speaking of Tomatoes

A pioneer citizen of Paris was tell
ing us the other evening about the
days when the tomato, one of the
favorite vegetables at this time, was
Stunned by everyone and pointed to
as being rank poison" Doubtless
you have heard your own father or
mother tell about the time they first
became acquainted with this now
popular food, and you've smiled
when they explained how at first
they called them ''love apples" and
only had them about the house and
garden for ornamental purposes.
But we daresay there are among
Bourbon county people many who
may still harbor the belief that, like
corn, and potatoes and beans, the to-
mato has always been considered an
edible vegetable.
AS near as it is now possible to
tell, the first tomatoes grown in this
country were from seed brought to
Virginia by Horace B. Smith, a native
of Bordeaux, France, but a globe
trotter and for many years resident
of the West Indies. 1t was while he
was in the West Indies that he discov-
cred the fruit or vegetable, whichever
you may prefer to designate it, and
even at that time the natives were
not acquainted with its edible quail
ties. From the seed sown in Vir-
ginia the tomato, or love apple"
soon found its way to the other col
onies. Along about 1919 a French
chef visiting in this country came
upon the tomatoes and announced
that the discovery had been made in
his land that properly cooked and
not partaken of in too great quanti-
ties the tomato made an excellent
article of diet. And he prepared for
the old Virginia family of William
Stanberry, Esquire, what is believed
to have the first dish of tomatoes
ever served in this country.
The "love apple" was slow in
gaining popularity, however, and
even the opening of the Civil War
found people of a number of West
ern States in ignorance of it's good
properties from food standpoint.
But Americans, quick to grasp any
thing that is good, and especially
that which is good for the stomach,
soon discovered that, instead of be-
ling rank poison" the tomato, now
served on millions of dining tables
and in scores of ways, is delightful
food
