Kitty Goetz, one h. 4dred years old,

never go to an institution for the aged.
True, the wind that had blown the roof

Kitty left her nightdress on all day
to fool the police, for she reckoned
they wouldn't take a lady through the
streets in her nightdress.
Then they heard purring sound

Snake Problem.

This is not new but it's worth re-
peating. A man In Zion City, ILL.,, sent
II to the News:
Two Zion City snakes, Of which
there are abundance on the lake front
property, had fight. One was gar
ter snake and the other bullhead."
Each was three feet long and In their
ferocity they seized each other by the
tall and proceeded to swallow each
other whole. They both started at the
same time and at the same rate of
speed.
Now the question Is, which Of these
two snakes survived. or rather which
one was on the outside by the time the
other was swallowed, the garter snake
or the bullhead?
II took FIVE minutes for the two
snakes to swallow each other and they
both swallowed each other right to
the tip Of the fhngs. Which one was
on the outside when they were finished
or were they both inslde?-Indianap-

Rocky Ford.-A campaign to induce
the farmers to cultivate every foot OF
land in Otero county Is being prose
outed by the Agricultural Association.
1t is already assured that there will
be more in the foodstuffs line raised
in this county the coming season than
ever before. So far as the canvass
has been made there will be no land
that is not under cultivation. One
drawback is the scarcity Of water In
the bitches. Unless rain is plentiful
this spring many farmers will be un-
able TO get their crops out OF the
ground.
Several OF the farmers have ex-
pressed themselves as in favor OF
taking the land that they had in
tended putting In cantaloupes and
growing produce, some feeling that II
the present prices Of foodstuffs should
keep up for few months there would
be little demand for cantaloupes.
The school children are being en-
couraged TO cultivate the unoccupied
lots and there will be more home gar
dens this season than were ever be-
fore known.
The farmers of Otero county will
not be found wanting when II comes
TO the production Of produce OF all
kinds.
The Agricultural Association is also
considering a plan for the marketing
o: all the produce grown by the farm
ers at the least possible cost to the
producer and for the best market
price.
