When Woodrow was eleckted
Presydent the LIST time we was
aginst him and come right out
fearless and said so in the Bugle
& we diddent care who knowd it.
The reason we TUX this attytood
was principle becuz when the Re

of the co we diddent git none of
same & we was good cal stird up

The last straw which broke the
camels back was when the COM

cHAUTAUQUA ENTERTAIN.
MENTS BETTER THAN EVER

The Chautauqua season now an
in Santa Fe is presenting more real
attractions, of high merit, than any
similar amusement organization ever
attempted for this city, and each and
every entertainment is not only COM
ing up to the advertised promises,
but far exceeding even the claims
of the circuit managers. Each and
every feature is of the best. The
lectures are by men of national pro-
minence, and the musical entertain
ments by real artists who have at
tanned enviable regulations, even in
ternational in character.
The entertainments all merit pack
ed houses, not a single one failing
to entertain and instruct. The man
ayers of such amusement circuits
generally claim everything possible
for their attractions, and barely come
up to expectations, but the present
Chautauqua is more than making
good, and the actual performances
exceeding the promises. II is to be
hoped that the same circuit can be
induced to put this city on its visit
ing list the next season.

GOVERNMENT BUREAUS
ARE NOW GETTING THERE

Ordinarily all government DEPART

a decade to several centuries, but
a crisis with its attending neces-
sites, does sometimes cause the de-
partments to speed up, and the agri-
cultural department is getting right
busy encouraging the Planting OF
corn as human food
Corn is much easier to produce than
other grain crops, and furnishes the
human family most acceptable SUBJ
stitute for wheat, in fact may be
considered as superior to wheat in
some ways, and a relatively small
percentage of increase in the acre.
age of corn planted in the United
States will supply many bushels of
corn for food ..
In recent years the efforts Of mil
lers to advance the interests Of GER
tain brands Of wheat flour, and the
enormous profits to be made from
the handling of the wheat flours,
has led to such improvements in mill
ing and such a multiplicity of dishes
prepared from the wheat product,
thar the use of corn products as
bread has fallen off. The neces-
stiles of war may have the effect
of driving millions of people to a
diet which is better for the health
and saving on the pocketbook.
Any man can raise corn, as it
needs little attention and is easily
harvested, and it will furnish a food
good in many ways-as = vegetable

and in many forms of breads, mush.

INCREASE IN THE
ACREAGE PLANTED
LARGE THIS Year
BEANS IN LEAD AND ALL
CROP ACREAGE Is MUCH
GREATER THAN EVER BE-
FORE SHOWN BY REPORTS
TO COMM. ERVIEN

Up to Saturday night ;ota. nf
1870 acres of leased S:a., grazing
land had been planted, or broken
for planting to food and forage
crops this year, by approximately
counties. Last weeks rains and
SHOWS are expected to increase this
acreage materially during the pre-
sent week. 1t is predicted that the
total acreage of grazing leases plant
ed, will exceed 2500O and ii is GER
tain that It will go much higher than
that figure should rains come to the
south-central, southeastern and
southwestern counties, where up to
this time the ground has been too dry
for profitable breaking of sod land.
On April Is Land Commissioner
e. p. Ervien issued a blanket per-
NIT to all holders of leases on state
grazing lands to farm such lands
during the period of the war with
out Increased rental. Some doubt
vas expressed ~ to whether or not
Nockgrowers, who are holders
of all this leased land. would take
kindly to the farming suggestion
They have responded from every
county in the state, not only ap-
proving the plan but taking advan-
kage of it wherever possible and in
aany cases breaking and planting
pasturage at personal sacrifices.
The crops plnted on the State
lands, up to Saturday, are as fol-
lows in order of their importance
and acreage.
