A beautiful sarape or blanket to

camp was received from the Chacor
branch by the Wagon Mound chap,
ter recently, to be sent to the Divi,

How this useful article was made

people dwelling in a sn,all communi-

the little p~ostoffice OF Chacon and
Holman. The majority are Spanish
Americans who still cling to old
traditions and old Spanish methods
of doing work. It was this method
that was employed to wash and dye
the wool. spin and weave it into the
beautiful blanket.
This terrible war has touched these

it has the homes in other sections
Of the state, and as their dear ones

left behind grow more tender, and
are eager to help the great cause in
some way.

Let us always be on our guard
against prejudice. Some people have
a way (unconciously) of turning the
cold shoulder to some friends-for
what reason they cannot tell-simply
because the cause is never very clear
ly defined and therein lies the mis-
chief. A word misinterpreted, some
scandal to which they ought neve
to have listened or at least should
have inquired into may have caused
a false impression which led to the
prejudice. and behold the re-
suits. 1t produces GOODNESS, reserve
and suspicion, followed by contempt
and mistrust; finally a hatred
pit and mistrust; finally a hatred
that makes the heart sad and hate
full.

Due to the demand for additional
labor under war conditions many
boys of high school age have been
indicted into shop work inconnec-
ton with the railway shops. A plan
for a part-time general continuation
school or class has been formulal-
ed. which is designed to offer an
opportunity for these boys to obtain
instruction supplementary to their
laily employment and to continue
their general education. Such a
course will serve to increase their
civic and vocational intelligence aud
may function as both trade extension
and general continuation types of
instruction.
Two all day general industrial
schools have been approved, one a,
the Albuquerque High School and
one at State College in the prepara-
tory department. In addition. there
are evening classes in radio opera
ton at the Albuquerque High School.
Silver City has recruited a class OF
young women employed in household
occupations for evening instruction.
albuquerque High School is offering
a teacher training course in the even
ing school to train trade men to
become shop instructors. From those
enrolled in a general printing class
last year, a vocational printing class
is to be established this year.
The part-time and evening classes
are being promoted as the only means
Of giving practical instruction rela:-
ed to the daily employment and trade
work to those Who OF
necessity have left school to work.
The part-time classes give boys and
girls an opportunity to continue their
while they are employed.
This is looking forward to the pass

sary attendance age to eighteen for
part-time classes.

 There has never been any official suggestion or intention to requisition the canned products of housewives and home gardeners. The State Council of Defense brands propa- ganda of this sort as absolutely ma liciouS and untrue.

The first edible celery grown in England was introduced by the French marshal, Tallard. during his captivity after his defeat at Blenheim by Marlborough PA years age today. Like tomatoes and other vegetables, celery was long considered poisonous, and this belief was not without basis in fact as regards the wild celery, rank, coarse and peculiar smelling plant. which was te be found along ditches and marshes all over Europe. The French were the first te cultivate it, and through the process the stalks lest their aerid and poisonous quail ties. and assumed the mild and sweet aromatic taste which makes celery SC delicious. Marshal Faiiard was very fond of the plant, and, while held a prisoner in England. began its euiti- vation there, At first the English were mortified at the thought of eat ing what they called "smaiiage" and looked upon it as pestifaFeus weed. but gradually taste for celery was acquired. and it's cultivation spread to America:

, his suit not alone on his royal
 sweetheart for she, indeed, was most
 willing. More formidable than "ask-
 ing father" for his daughters hand was the job of this prince, for he had to obtain the consent of an entire body of legislators to marry the wom-
 an of his choice.
 And the Polish Diet refused abso- lutely to listen.
 The Austrian was a small princel- ing in their eyes, and they were
 more ambitious for their Queen. Po- land needed more land, and in those days more land was obtainable eith- CT through conquest or by matrimon- ial alliance. Poland was in no po- sition to engage in a conict for the
 sake of land. The people were peaceable and not aggressively war 1 like or bloodthirsty as were some of their neighbors. There was only one l way to obtain more land for Poland by the marriage of the Queen to
 some powerful sovereign.
 The Diet appealed to their Queen.
 Would she help her country to in- Aerease its strength? They had an- other attractive prince selected for | her, and asked the Queen to dismiss 1 the Austrian so that the man chosen | by the country could come to press
 his suit. Queen Jadwiga's patriotism | conquered her love.
 The Austrian returned to Vienna | disconsolate, and Prince Jaqiello of Lthuania courted the Queen. He
 was a gentle, kindly man, and the | Queen submitted to the wishes of her country and became betrothed to him.
 As he was a pagan, it was necessary 1 to baptize him before marriage to the | Queen and before the celebration o1
 the wedding he was baptized Ladis- l laus the Second.
 But though the marriage began
 sadly for the Queen with a blasted 1 romance, nevertheless she afterward
 was exceedingly happy in her union | The King was devoted to her, and as
 he was a man of great courage he
 won many victories for the Poles ove,
 their enemies. Under his leadership Poland acquired vast territories, but l curiously, the object for which the
 marriage had been planned-the un- 1 iting of Poland and Lithuania-waE
 not accomplished until 200 year.
