LAST NIGHTS FAREWELL TO JOHN BARLEYCORN LEFT
II USUAL HEADACHE: TODAY'S LEAVES DOL CHEER

NEW MEXICO celebrated the passing Of John
Burlcycorh from the legitimate stage last
night. A great many OF us gathered in pub
lie places IN Albuquerque and elsewhere throughout
our fair state and ~disported ourselves in the old
fashioned way which was once regarded as re-
spectacle. and even as in good taste. Some of the
less discreet among us took advantage of the legal
~obsequics of our old side kick, j. b.. TO put on u
regular show.
OF these the vast majority today are troubled
with the accustomed headache, the usual dark,
brown flavor IN the oral cavity and an all peryad-
ing gray-dawn feeling which is the invariable day
after companion of niglt.beforc associates of j. Il.
A great many more of Us observed the legal
passing of John Barlcycorn with a silent feeling of
sincere thanksgiving, and II is a safe bet that the
majority OF those who joined last night in the more
ebbulent observance of the event are joining today
IN the aforesaid feeling. Their heads are not yet
cool. their nerves are not vet steady, but most Of
them have sufficiently recovered at this time IN the
af,ernoon-of. e-day.after to get something of a
perspective Of what happened last night, which is
not a cheerful perspective, and also of what the
future holds, which is far more cheerful.
Today, in fact, is the day when all of us have
an opportui ~ for more or less clear vision of
John BIS peculiar efficiency in raising the devil.
We're all glad he's gone, Even the man who says
he isn't glad, is harboring n secret, If deeply con
cealed satisfaction.
Wait a minute! This is no temperance sermon.
This is simple recognition o. a tremendously inn
portant economic advance in the development OF
New Mexico. Ii is the second advance of it's kind
within ten years, and the second is tremendously
more IMPORTANT than the first. II was just about

May Charge More For
Coal Oil and Gasoline

The u. s. Fuel administration will
permit ar increase of one-half cent a
gallon in the wholesale tank wagon
market price Of gasoline. naptha or
refined oil throughout the United
States. according to a notice received
by State Fuel Administrator J. Walter
Barnes. The ruling was Elective Mon
day. July %. The reason for the ad-
vance is the increase in the recent
railroad rates.
The Increased wholesale price does
not permit the retailer to increase the
price OF gasoline more than one-half
cent per gallon TO the consumer. In
some cases the profits will be suffi-
cient that II will not be necessary for
the retailer to increase the price to
the consumer
