the town people would feel more
like patronizing.

It certainly is d scouragng after a fellow has done his best
10 start something and get everything well under way and have
a citizen with considerable influence butt in and try to block It,
and worse yet when he succeeds. Columbus has a few Of this kind
Of citizens. Some Of them seem 10 want 10 knock everything that
they do not get the credit for suggesting. What difference does
il make who gets the credit so long as We all get the benefit?
Let's lay all prejudice aside and cooperate with each other So
long as we try to iniure another by such methods we are not
only hurting one person but the entire communit" including our
selves. Columbus can never become a town of Importance il we
allow politics and other insignificant things to keep us divided,

MAN WHO is MAKING GOOD

On another page of this issue OF the Courier Is published ,
detailed account Of the farming operations Of Fred Darow-on,
Of the Lower Mimbres farmers who is making good. Mr.. barrow
uses no water except the natural rainfall. During the rainy season
there is considerable food water but he does not use it and say
that Il a disadvantage. There are many other farmers in the
valley that depend on the natural rainfall and the Courier is
planning to give a description of one Of these farms every week
One crop that is most always sure is beans. Now that a bean
thresher has been brought into the valley a great saving in time
and labor can be affected. There viii be a large acreage planted
to this crop this year and the Courier is going 10 do its best 10
induce a still larger than is at present planned.

High Psws.

During the reign OF william and
Mary in England a worthy bishop CON-
planned to the latter that the ladies Of
the. court were wont to f1x their eyes
on their neighbors rather than on him
during his discourses> 1t apparently
never occurred to the divine that the
fault might lie in the sermons them
selves. By consent Of the queen high
pews were introduced to prevent wan
dering eyes. "As for the young ladies
for whose spiritual welfare they were
devised" says a writer. their indig-
nation was only surpassed by the rage
Of their admirers" From that time
high pews were commonly placed In
churches.-London Opinion.

What the Dead Know

The Boston Pilot takes advantage of the de- parture of Madame de Thebes from this world remark that she didn't foresee when she going. It calls her the arch spirit and yet she, like all the lesser followers of that cult, unable tell what going to happen herself
 It is odd that this should be so-odd that is to say if the persons who declare that they hold tions with the spirits of the dead really do hold such conversations. If they only think that they hold such conversations, only say so. in those where they find somebody who is willing pay them for saying then it is odd all On the contrary. it is natural, and It is the condition under which they able carry business in their line.
 If turn to those who belong to this cult for gain, but a matter of personal belief the inability to find out about themselves is observed. The case of William T Stead the British writer who down with the Titanic in the night of April l4. 1912 win for illustration Mir. Stead was a con firned believer in these conversations with Unlike most of those who believe in these strange things he thought that he able to hold these versations for himself Whether he imagined tha; he had familiar spirit at his heck and call those who take fees profess to have do know: but by some method he thought that he in commun- cation with the dead It great comfort to him. and he also believed that these communications were a guide for him. But evidently these communications whatever their purport and from whatever they proceeded. left him wholly in the dark as to what was going to happen to tine Titanic. For. if he Frd been told beforehand of the fate of that ship his life would be lost if he took passage on her. and if he had believed such information. he would moi have been board when she down. lic would not only have cancelled his passage. but being humane man. he would also have issued a warning to others In of such warning the owners the Titanic might have responded that their ship was unainlable-.his being the fiction under which the ship driven at speed among the iceberss-but tie ger. 7e of raising this question Of danger might uay rcaei.d usaa these handling the ship in such va ha.e added the ounce Of caution that wnpa 'ia1e .cI..rl the catastrophe.
 Al ti.s pr,supposes of course. tha, the spirits Of the dead know than do about the future. There wastis difference bstween Madame de Thees md Mr. Stead. While the fomer preientcd that her spirits told of her future events tand as turned out they generally misinformed themselves). those of Mir. Stead confined their conversations generally to t.te present.

Revised Picture of the Presiden.

Mir. George Sylvester viereck the editor of the International and of the Fatherland has always been the admirer of President Wilson. He was cer- tany when the president was sending those fierce and futile notes to Germany the subject of sub marine warfare and when was directing the prose- cnton of Germans for the violation Of American neutrality and winkng similar offenses committed by British agents
 But Mf. Viereck reflects the change of German sentiment toward the president following the trans- mission by the president to the entente allies of Ger many's proposal for peace conference He writes in the International:
 No secret Is made of the dislike of Woodrow Will son that prevails among many important officials Of the federal government The president is said to be man who makes few warm friends His nature IS somewhat like that of hermit. He broods alone m the White House the great problems that await settlement. For all that. his position as the first democrat since Andrew Jackson to secure e reelection to q second consecutive term has given him immense prestige. He is an object of profound respect and even of admiration to the bureaucrats in Washington. They time inclined to de- spise him as pcdant. Now they consider him a
