HON Did You Take Up

HOW Did You Take IT.?
Did you tackle that trouble that came
your way
With resolute heart and cheerful,
Or hide your face from the light of
day
With craven soul and fearful?
Oh, troubles ton, or a troubles an

Or trouble is what you make it,
And it isn't the fact that you're hurt
that counts,
But only how did you take it?
You are beaten to earth. Well, well,
what's that?
Come up with smiling face;
It's nothing against you to fall down

But to lie there-that's disgrace.
The harder you're thrown, why the
higher you bounce;
Be proud of your blackened eye.
1t isn't the fact that you're licked

It's how did you fight and why?
And though you be done to death
what then?
If you played your part in the

Why, the Critic will call it good.

But whether he's slow or spry,

The present indications are that General Pershing will be
recalled from the punitive expedition soon. There is absolutely
no reason for keeping the troops in MeSico nor has there been
since last May. Nothing has been done except ordinary field
service. same as would have been done had they been encamped in
Columbus. or any other place in the states. They were sent
to Mexico as the people thought to crush Villa. II was estimated
that Villa had at the time of the Columbus raid about 1000 men
in his army. Since that time the number has steadily increased
and at present his army Is estimated at 5000 men. They come
and go as they please, the only place they seem to avoid is General
Pershings camp. The expedition, so far as the crushing Of Villa
Is concerned, has been an absolute failure. Pershing IL not to
be blamed at all, for Villa would have been taken long ago il the
American troops had been allowed to continue the chace. but they
were recalled from the hot trail last May, and since that time no
effort has been made TO capture the notorious bandit. II the
troops have failed TO come up to the expectations Of the American
people. the blame does not rest on them but on the hen who gave
the orders after the expedition had entered Mexico. Their pres
ence on Mexican soil has assisted Villa. and there Is danger Of
him yet becoming the president of the republic.

Something new and of far-reaching value TO Columbus is
about TO be inaugerated in the production of a business directory
containing not only a list Of Columbus enterprises but a complete
story Of the raid of March 9. 1916, of the story of the L. s. Army
base here and a list of residents. In addition there is planned
an authoritive article on the future of Columbus, the material Of
which is furnished by those who have most closely watched the
advance Of this interesting border town. The design of the
"Souvenirdirectory" is entirely original, and as the edition will
be in suitable form TO mail, as well as TO retain for constan ref
erence-it will probably I'll the part a chamber of commerce
would play were we so fortunate as TO have such a body in action
for Columbus. The quality of material used will depend largely
upo', the class of support the venture receives from our merchants
and business men-for all printed matter comes now in the sad
class of high cost Of living"-but there is little doubt on the part
of the organizer that the local pride will be sufficiently strong to
cause the merchants and other business men to advertise in a
manner worthy of their standing in town. The name of the New
York Telegraph border correspondent is sufficiently well known
here TO inspire belief that the manager and editor of the directory
will bring out a book reliable and most readable, and one of perma-
nent value TO the town she has persistantly advertised in eastern
papers since her coming TO us ten months ago. The Courier
wishes brilliant success to author and venture.

The election for precinct officers will be held on next Monday,
the polls being open from nine o'clock In the morning until six in
the evening. This is strictly a home affair. and il is TO the
interests Of every resident of the valley that good men be elected

years, and IL Columbus continues TO grow during this period as It
has the last two. we win be a city OF note an Importance. and il
is necessary that we, in selecting the officers 10 serve as, leave out

J. l.. Greenwood is to be complimented for the excellent
building he has erected. The new Columbus Theatre is a credit
to Columbus and the entire valley. When a banker viii invest
his money in such a building II gives everyone more confidence
and will help the town in the estimation of visitors and people
who are thinking Of locating in the Lower Mimbres. To some
this might not seem 10 be n wise investment, but the people who
have resided here for the past three or four years and have watch
ed the steady improvements in the town and valley have an en-
tirely different opinion Of il.

Chas. Heath will shortly retire as a member Of the county
road commissioners. The county vii. lose one Of the best road
builders it has ever had on the board, and his retirement is a great
loss for this end of the valley. Until Sherman and Baker were
appointed on the board Mr.. Heath was always opposed in anything
he suggested and his showing was poor. but he was the friend of
Columbus just the same and did as much, probably more than
anyone else could have done in a similar position.

A few of our citizens who have resided here for several years
and who no doubt expect to remain here the rest of their lives
will often make remarks about the country that would hurt If
they were to be overheard by a home seeker. What does a man
expect TO gain by this? If il was from a man who had Just drifted
in and did not expect to stay here longer than his government job
lasted nothing else would be expected than to hear occasionally
a knock, but people who intend to make the valley their future
home certainly should lay Oft this kind Of stuff.

The Courier has been requested 10 announce the withdrawal
Of Ivan Hobbs from the race for constable. Young Hobbs was
considered one of the best men in the race and would have no
doubt poled the largest vote, but on account Of business affairs
he decided that he could not attend 10 the duties Of the Office If
he should be elected. and thought best that he with draw and give
a man a chance who really needs the office and is physically unfit
for hard work, and who has plenty OF time to devote TO the Job.

This year should be the best Columbus has ever seen by far
The thing that needs most attention is getting farmers into the
valley. There has been a demand for vegetables the past year
that could not begin to be supplied by the home grown products
and there is good reasons to believe that this demand will be larger
this year than last, and the prices are as good as the truck grower
could desire. When you send a letter to your friends in the east
tell them about the great possibilities of a gardner in the Lower
Mimbres, and nine chances out of ten they will know some one
that is going to change locations and possibly are looking for just
such a proposition as they would find here. If every resident
of the valley will write Just one let n eXpaing the farming possi-
biities of the valley there is no question but it would do a lot of
good and would be the means of bring people here. Every set
tier that is brought to Columbus means more business for the
grocery man, the hardware man, the furniture man, the hotels,
the dry goods store, the bank, and it helps the farmer and cattle
raiser too. Let's get busy on this at once.

Finnish nation has been absolutely 10y

have listened to the tempting words of
German agents, who have tried to
start revolt in Finland, thus men,
acing Petrograd in the rear. The Rus
sian revolution seems now to be ready
to give Finland the reward for her 10y"
alty-full autonomy. If this policy is
carried out in the right way, there is
no doubt that Finland, with her old
culture and developed industries, will
play an important part in the new Rus
sian republic. The Finlanders are
democratic and this will make them
especially adapted to the new regime
in Russia. The fate of Finland has
demonstrated to the world that a ma
ton, filled with real patriotic spirit,
can never be subjugated. The Finnish
patriotism has won the sympathies of
all the civilized nations.
Leaders of the Finnish party have
agreed on a new senate of II members
as Finlands supreme executive. Six
are Social Democrats, the largest par.
ty in Finland, and the others are the
old Finnish party, the Young Finnish
party and the Swedish Popular party.
The new government has also organ
lied a judicial department excluding
reactionary officials with Russian as
sociations, appointing instead the
country's best jurists.
The tremendous change, brought
about in the situation of Finland, is
best illustrated by the fact that Judge
Svinhufud has been appointed to be
attorney general of that country.
Judge Svinhufvud has been known as
one of the strongest opponents of the
classification Of Finland, and at the
beginning Of the war he was therefore
exiled to Siberia by the government of
the car.

quently there are pockets among the
hills where crops and fruit suffer late
in the spring and early in the fall from
