"The world do move" thank the
Lord for that And to think that
New Mexico has gone dry! Did you ever
read Ingersol's "The Laugh of a Little
Child?" If you didn't you missed some
thing. Well it begins like this: "Strike
with hands Of fire, chi wierd musician,
thy harp string Apolo's golden hair:
fill the vast cathedral aisle with sym
phonies sweet and dim, deft TOUGHER of
organ keys, blow bugler blow, until thy
silver notes do touch and kiss the
moonit waves, and charm tide merry
wanderings of lovers mid vlneclad hills,
yet know, that your heavenly music is
discord all, compared to the laugh of a
little child ........." Say, that is the
way we can all feel today in this good
State Of New Mexico, for booze will
soon be a thing of the past And now,
with malice towards none and charity
for all, ;" let US take every liquor dealer
and every saloon keep by the hand, and
welcome them into some other business
to make living as best they can like
the rest of US. ---B. s. Rcdey.

The farmers complain that the price
of 1874 cents said to have been put on
pinto be ans is too low to justify farm
ers growing them, yet for many years
they grew them for half that price.
-Ft. Summer Review.
Wonder if it ever entered the Review
mans think box, or place where it
ought to be, that the farmers are COM
PEELED to pay increased prices for every
thing that goes Into the production of
the aforesaid beans? Corn with which
to feed the teams, is about three times
as high in price as it was at that time
Of the low price of beans; hay is easily
double the price it was: machinery has
advanced from 100 to 200 per cent. !;
, labor is hard to get at any price: even
the food the farmer eats himself is
away up And yet this fellow would
have the farmers who produce the
beans sell them at the same price as
before the war" Maybe it's habit
from living where he does.
