birthday. He did it in what he con-
sidered to be quite a respectable way.
He lived at BOwesville, but it was at
Milton that he went through his an
nuaI program.
Abstemious and walking a straight
chalk line for 1854 days of the year,
upon the other about dusk Jed pre-
sented himself at the tavern at Mil
ton and hired the little card room at
the rear of the bar for the exclusive
use of himself and his friends. These
friends were never the same on sue
ceeding occasions. Jed simply picked
up half a dozen of the Ioungers about
the place, and, with table supplied
fully with edibles and drinkables,
locked all. hands in the room with
himself and proceeded to celebrate.

latter, it was only a mildly dissipated
group. It was an occasion for Jed
to spread himself and he about mo-
nOpolized the function. Ordinarily
Jed was a miId-mannered, composed
young man, never boisterous, always
reliable in a business way. On the
occasion of his birthday festivity he
wildly recalled two points in his life
and let loose on them. Once he had
been appointed the local orator in
mild political campaign. He believed
he had found his mission until a rival
expert in the same line squelched
him completely, both as to argument
and eloqUence.
Later, in a sneaking sort of way,
Jed did some amateur dramatic work

to stir, and the sun gradually turned

Face Serious Losses
douglas Dispatch)

F. S. Elias and Joe Olney re-
turned yesterday from a trip to
the southwestern part of New
Mexico, where they went to in
vestigate cattle conditions. They
say that the livestock outlook
in that section is gloomy, with
no prospects of immediate re-
lief. Cattle are suffering from
lack of sufficient food and wa
ter, and the ranges are without
the normal grass upon which
stockmen have depended to keep
their cattle through the winter.
Farther south in Mexico range
conditions are better, and in
ordinary times stock could be
taken across the line and kept
until facilities for feeding them
could be provided on the Ameri~
can side.
However, ther are two rea-
sons why cattle cannot be taken
into Mexico now, especially into
Chihuahua. The danger of
banditry is one reason, and a
good one, for the Mexican
government practically is power
less to afford the proper pro-
lection to persons and prop
erty in western Chihuahua.
Then, the drastic export restric-
tions of the American govern
ment make it practically i'm
possible to take out of this
country. In sending cattle out
of the United States the ship
per is required to give bond on
all that are exported to the
amount of 20 per cent of the
appraised value, and also enter
into an lironclad agreement to
return the cattle within six
months. One cannot take across
| the line a certain number of
cattle and at the same time i'm
port a like number without
making the agreement. Those i'm
ported are not considered at all.
but those sent out must be re-
turned at the stipulated time.
Added to this is the determina-
tion of the Mexican government
to keep within it's borders all
the livestock that now is there.
Thus, it is plain that no relief
can be obtained by transfers
across the international line.
The United States govern
ment has made arrangements
to give financial aid to the stock
men in New Mexico, and in other
states where the situation is
critical, out by the time this
materializes thousands of head

of cattle will be lost. There has
been no steps toward making
a federal appropriation to assist
Arizona cattlemen.
Mr.. Olney said yesterday that
all the stockmen in southern
New Mexico were sup against
it" and appear to believe that
everything they have will be
lost, unless unexpected relief
comes very soon.

It's Christmas

There's a. fire in the CRATE and q
light in the hall,
For it's Christmas time again,
And the sleighbells ring and the

Her loudest paeans Of love and

For the Holy Babe Of the Bethlehem

And the church bells echo the glad

Oh, it's time to turn with the golden

To the friend we doubted and

To rid our hearts Of their greed and
