Another Blow to Kultur
(From The Wcrld.)

With regret learn we that Herr Wilhelm
r. Hearst, the Tammany candidate for, bur-
germeister of New York not to be, is. This
will a sad disappointment to His Imperial
Majesty, who so active an interest in Ameri-
can politics takes, prove.
Often has Herr Hearst a candidate fer
burgermeister been, but never before the
koniglicher-kaiserlicher candidate. No ex-
PLANTATION of the refusal Of Charles B. Muir
ply, the boss of Tammany Hall, to nomi-
nate Herr Hearst forthcoming is; but it is
misunderstanding that Murphy cold feet
has and afraid is to defy the British govern
ment, which its agent Northcliffe here sent
American politics to control.
The humiliation of Herr Hearst by Muir.
ply the more tangible is because President
Wilson'S embargo policy also Tammany OF
the fats that necessary to sustain life are
deprives.
When His Imperial Majesty independence
10 Ireland promised, intended he also Tam
many Hall to emancipate; but Murphy this
boon has forfeited and his treachery toward
His Majesty will not unpublished go.
More than two years ago, said His Maj
esty to the American ambassador that after
this war he no more nonsense from the
Americans stand would. The rejection OF
Herr Hearst for burgermeister shows once
again the need of strong measures with the
blodsinnige Yankees. The insult the greater
is because Herr Hearst a loyel and out
spoken friend of the kaiser has been and
since the departure of Count Won Bernstorff
the German cause with great eloquence and
force above everybody else pleaded has. The
affront of Tammany to Herr Hearst also is
an affront to His Imperial Majesty which
our stout German armies to avenge a way
will find.

That rolls and echoes through the halls or

How Quail Chicks
Manage to Grow Up
nv q. s. Rodey.)

Quail in New Mexico this year aru moe
numerous than turtle doves. The other day
| made o trip In an auto from Albuquerque
through Tijeras Canon. to Estancia and re.
turn. The distance travelled Is abouG lis
miles. All along the road we encountered
pairs of quail. AT this season Uhe middle
of Anguish the birds go in pairs, and have
their chicks wit hthem, anywhere from
seven or eight to a dozen little ones. Not
once In a day hardly will the wayfarer see
the chicks, for the moment the buzz wagon
appears, tho parent birds give the usual
chirp and presto! the chicks, as quick as
lightning hide, disappear, vanish, while the
old birds look as unconcerned as if never a
chick had they, and If you stop, they walk
away, and If pressed fly away, but keep
an eye 'on your doings.
A little northwest of Moriarty we ran into
a pair of quail standing under a weed right
at the fence by the roadside. My eompar-
ion vowed he had seen a flock OF chicks be-
fore they vanished. The old birds, when my
companion stopped and got out, walked
away, increasing their walk to a run, and
In a moment flying off about q hundred
yards. But my friend was bound to find
those chicks, rs he was sure he had seen
them. So he searched and searched for at
least fifteen minutes, in and around the
clump of weeds, but nary a chick. Then he
started to come away, and as he came back
to the auto, To- the tiniest little musical
chirps canc from the 'clurnp Of weeds. He
listened. 1t was repeated from all sides OF
the little ~four'feet square clump of weeds,
where he had made such diligent search.
So back he went, and I went, too, and we
both started in to poke into that clump of
weeds. and to ingert our fingers in it, and
comb it out down to the very ground, when
at last flick! flick! little shadows shot out
along the ground, and over to other clumps
of weeds a few feet away. At last we
caught one; the little things are not much
larger than a good-sized hurAming bird.
Like the young of many other birds and ami
mails, chick quails either show their evolu-
tion, or by nature while young are endowed
with coloring defense. They are duly
striped in yellow and brown like a chip
munk from head to tail. 1t is very hard to
see them among sticks and brush.
After a few minutes | turned the one we
caught loose on a smooth spot of ground.
Have you ever noticed a streak of morning
dawn? Well, that is the way that little
chick disappeared into a clump of weeds
about ten feet away. Then l took three
or four minutes and searched that clump of
weeds. To save me, and | tried as hard as
| could without crushing the clump, | could
neither find that chick nor scare him out into
the open, so | left him. l know now why
so few people see quail chicks while they
cannot fly. They know how to hide

The Wrong Man!

The appointment Of Mr.. Ralph G. Ely as
federal food commissioner in New Mexico
seems to have caused a great deal of excite
ment among the Republican Old Guard in
New Mexico. Every time the news has
been broken to one of the Tried and True
he has become as busy as an irritated ele-
plant with a trunk on both ends, or our
old friend the one-armed paperhanger with
the hives. 1t is must curious. They act
like they were afraid Ralph would put salt
in their coffee, etanus germs in their Court
plaster, or arsenate of lead in their chaw-
ing tobacco. The Las Vegas Optic says:
THE WRONG MAN.
"The appointment of Ralph C. Ely as fed
eral food commissioner for New Mexico Is
most unfortunate. His limited association
with public affairs in the state has not
gained for him the confidence Of the people
that should be enjoyed by a man occupying
the position to which he has been elevated
The big food distributors OF the state, who
have been exhausting every available means
to conserve our food resources, because of
Mr.. Ely's appointment, will be inclined to
doubt the alleged efficiency of Mr.. Hoover,
and will be less disposed to follow his sug-
gestions.
There has been a decided disposition to
place the blame for the appointment of Mr..
Ely at the door of Governor Lindsey, but
men closely associated with the governor
insist that he had nothing whatever to do
with Mr.. Ely's selection. Vigorous protests
against the appointment have been sent to
Washington by some of New Mexico's most
representative men, and unless Mr.. Hoover's
action is purely political, reconsideration
may be expected"
oh my! how disastrous!
AS to the blame we were under the
impression that Mr.. Charles Springer, chair
man Of the Council of State Defense, had
recommended Mr.. Ely's appointment. Our
impression was strengthened by Mr.. Ely's
announcement that he hoped to be able to
do a little something toward reducing the
price Of, coal. 1t is we'll known that re-
ducing the price Of coal is one of the hobbies
Of the chairman and the two things taken
together looked significant. OF course this
is largely speculation.
AS the national administration is Demo
cratic and as the state went overwhelming.
ly Democratic at the last election, it is per-
haps natural that the Old Guard should be
greatly astonished that one of their number
was not chosen for this important position
Of food administrator.
nouhtlpss DrOtnsts from the hrenregenta-
tive men, will have the immediate effect OF
causing a recall of the appointment. And
it would be awfully unfortunate if the food
distributors Of the state should decide not
to have anything to do with Mr.. Hoover's
directions. 1t would simply ruin the whole
food program of Congress and there is nc
telling what it might lead to.
He wants to reduce the price of coal.

Taos, its surroundings, Indian types ana
San Geronimo fiesta scenes, with detailed
directions as to how to reach Taos and what
to see. There is a word about the artist
colony and the description Of the San Ger
onimo fiesta on September 80, is as follows:
"At vespers the evening before the
Saints Day the festival commences with
candle offerings. AS the fast-setting sun
s~uffuses the valley with tender light, and
the shrub-covered hills soften with rich
purple and brown, the acolyte, an Indian,
climbs to the nat roof of the adobe chapel
and with-a stone in each hand rings or beats
the call to services. After services two
bands of Indians, crowned with leafy chap
let's n bearing green boughs in their
hands, file into the little adobe.walled court
in front of the chapel. They face each
other in two long lines, and then, to the
music of their own weird chant, they be-
gin the sun dance. When the last dance is
over and the hills esound with the shrill
yelps Of its performers, the observances OF
the first day are concluded.
San Geronimo Day observances
"On San Geronimo Day, the Both, every
body, of every complexion, flocks early to
the pueblo, and before the sun is we'll above
the beautiful Taos Range the grounds are
alive with a strangely mixed throng, and
with fiesta booths, where are displayed for
sale melons, pinon nuts, blankets and scarfs
Of native manufacture; Pueblo pottery and
Apache baskets.
I'm the plaza stands a pine tree pole,
fifty feet In height, and from a cross-piece
near the top hang harvest offerings of mel
ons, bread and a slain sheep.
1.-THE bell in the little adobe chapel sounds
and a few Of the Indians go in to mass.
After the devotional exercises are conclud-
ed a procession is formed and marches to
the race track, which Is a quarter of a mile
in length. The runners, Of whom there are
fifty, are clad only in breech cloth, and are
painted, no two alike.
Fifty other runners to contest with these
arrive from the pueblo across the dividing
stream. Two runners IRON each side dart
down the track. No sooner do they reach
the goal than two others start off, and thus
for two hours the races continue in relays
of twos. The victorious side is given the
privilege of electing the governor for both
pueblos for the ensuing year
"In the afternoon dances by hideously
painted clowns and mirth-makers are fol-
lowed by attempts to climb the pole, which
is at last accomplished and amid the yells
of the onlookers the sheep and harvest Of
ferings are thrown to the ground and car
ried off, and st. Jerome is supposed to re-
joice in the happy conclusions Of the festi-
val in his honor"

Protect the Deer in
America This Year

Washington, d.. C.-While Is states will
lave no big-game hunting this year because
deer have been exterminated or because
the stock has been .so1reduced that the sea-
son is closed, there are 33 other states, &C
cording to the U. S. department of agricui-
ture which will have an open season for
deer hunting. This season ranges from 4
days in New Jersey and 6 days in Massa-
chusettes and Vermont, to 2 months or more
in some of the southern states. These sea-
sons will open in August in Oregon and in
most parts of California; in September in
the rest of California and in Idaho, South
Carolina, and Virginia; in October in Maine.
New Hampshire, New York, Georgia, Mon
tana, Wyoming, Washington, Nevada, Ari-
iona and New Mexico; in November in
Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and several
of the southern states; and in December
in Pennsylvania, In about one-third of the
states the law allows the hunter one deer a
year, and in most Others, two.
The department of agriculture urges all
persons to cooperate to secure the best
possible protection Of deer SO as to get the
maximum amount of venison as a source
OF meat. iuae
1t is estimated that about 10000 deer are
killed legally in the United States each
year. These produce nearly 100000
pounds of ~venison. The biological survey
of the U. S. department Of agriculture says
this number Of deer can be very largely in
creased, since only two or three states pro-
duce more than 10000 deer a year and many
less than 1000. When 100 deer are oh
tanned in a state as densely populated as
Massachusetts it should not be difficult, says
the department, to increase the total in the
other states by at least rs per cent. Every
pound of venison brought in from the woods
should be made to save a pound of beef,
mutton or pork raised on ranch or farm.
The cooperation of game commissioners,
conservation associations and other organic
atioss is requested by the department as an
aid in securing accurate reports of the num-
Der of deer killed in each state this year.
Such reports should prove of value for com
parison with the returns from other years
and may tell whether the number OF deer
annually taken in any state may be in
creased without impairing the breeding
stock.
