Verify, verify my daughter, at the

And, peradventure, all the problems

But the problems of woman, who

For the things that vex her spirit
and try her soul are as countless as the

Behold, for her, these fourteen

WHEN SEIIRIDGE SURPRISED
BERLIN

c. w. Barron in wall Street journal
H. Gordon Selfridge apparently val
ues his American citizenship above
any European title. He is today proud
of that citizenship and of the fact that
he is now the leading merchant of
London.

1t is doubtful if any Englishman
could have made in London a Selfridge
success. Tradition is against, the retail
merchant. The Germans thought
they discovered something in the psy-
chology of the English when they
studied what lot of business the Eng
lishmen did behind wall or a board

said: Here is nation of shopkeepers,
hiding their business in backwards and
there they'll stay when the glitter and
majesty of our imperial arms strike
terror throughout the world"
The huns knew their mistake the
first year Of the war. But they never
knew how to get out of it, although
for three years they have been study
ing how to win with tears and poverty
at the inevitable peace table.
II. Gordon Seifridge, in Berlin, early
in 1915, got the true key TO the hun
war. He went from London to Berlin
with no more concern than of going
from Chicago TO Montreal. In Holland
he had his American passport vised

clerk, of course, prompaly notified the
management, the management the po-
lice, the police Wilhelmstrasse. What
could it mean? Was there mesSen-
ger of peace from Great Britain in the
guisa of an American merchant?
Each officer in turn rang up his sup
erior until one competent to talk the
aims of the empire arrived at the ho-
tel and passed upstairs. ..
Mr. Selfrid9e spoke as an indepen-
dent, free born American citizen. He
wanted to know what this war was
about, and particularly how it was to
be expected that he should ever again
sell German goods. IF there was no
regard to be paid to German word of
honor. or signed treaty, what was to

WRAT BREEDING DOES.

One of the problems of the south
west-which includes New Mexico
is Improvement of the cattle, one of
the largest sources of income of the
people of this state.
1t is estimated that Europe's supply
of domestic animals has been reduced
by one hundred million head in the
last five years. The American supply
has been slightly increased.
For many years Europe will be
obliged to come to America both for
breeding stock and for meat, and this
fact alone will keep the price of cat
tie and beef at a high level. Also it
insures high prices for hogs and sheep.
But that of itself will not suffice to
make the livestock industry profitable
in America.
When cattle, sheep and hogs picked
their living from the wild land, their
sale price was almost clear profit To-
day all lands upon which cattle, sheep
and hogs can be successfully raised
commands comparatively high prices.
Grazing lands of this state must be
purchased or rented.
President Grille of the New Mexico
College of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts, says this state can no longer af-
ford to raise scrub stock. 1t has been
proved that the half breed beef ami
NAL will make the same weight in
three years that the scrub does in four
years, and that certain early matur-
ing varieties of pure bred beef cattle
will cut a year off of the half
record
The shorter the life term of the
beef animal. the smaller the rent bill
Young beef is now sought, rather
than the beef of the -year-old Of
our fathers.
The same principal applies to the
COW that produces but little milk. The
dairy COW must pay in milk for feed
that costs four times as much as it
cost twenty years ago. Scrub stock is
too poor to pay this price for board,
nor can every COW called pure bred
do it,
The story of breeding is wonder
full one. From the scrub Ihorse that
would hardly carry the weight of a
medium sized man, the Norman and
Percheron and other heavy draft ami
mails were bred. From the cow that
would only give enough milk TO afford
scanty food for her calf, has Develop

For the men who gave their lives
so grandly, so nobiy, we need have no
fear that the Power that takes note
