FORTY ACRES

Lake Arthur, n. M, May 27s-Tht
fact that New Mexico has farms that
equal any in the country was recently
demonstrated when Charles Foster oil
Lake Arthur finished cutting his first
alfalfa crop. The 40 acres yielded ex
actly so tons OF fine hay at the one
cutting, which at the present price
would be worth about 500 per acre.
Property Of this kind would bring
about $500 per acre in California, and

value with that in any other part or

Clovis, N. M: May 2S.-Curry coun-
ty will have an enormous wheat crop
this year according to all reports.
This is an assured fact now as there
is nothing to destroy the crop except

for the big wheat crop this year and
the one great question which is
troubling the farmers at the present
time is whether or not they will be
able to secure the necessary help to
save their wheat. Heretofore many
Iaborers have gone to Kansas and

USE UNIFORM METHOD
TO GET BACK TAXES
OF SOME S4.000,000
SPEclAE COLLECTORS HAVE
VARYING VIEWS AND TAX COM.
MISSION HAS SOME JOB AHEAD
OF 1T.

An effort Is to be made by the state
lax commission to have the delinquent
tax attorneys In the various judicial
districts adopt some uniform pro-
cedure in handling delinquent taxes.
There Is a problem in store for the
commission. moreover, because 1t is
said attorneys have different views
on the matter. and the Importance of
arriving at a solution will be readily
understood when it is remembered
that delinquent taxes from 1912 to
1913 are reported to be nearly two
and q quarter million dollars. From
1903 to 1918 1t is estimated the de-
linquent taxes on the books of county
treasurers will total nearly $4,000, 900.
II is said, however, that often de-
~linquent taxes, so marked, are not de-
linquent, and orders Of the courts will
be invoked to cure defects in book
keeping or in record keeping of Of
~ficials. oN
Chief Tax Commissioner J., 2. Saint
has just returned from Socorro where
he was in conference with Attorney
William ]. Eaton, who is the delin-
lquent tax attorney in that judicial dis
trict. All delinquent attorneys are re-
ported to be making out abstracts In
the various counties. Many counties
bought in property because OF delin.
quent taxes but found that they could
not take title after three years as
there was no law so providing.
John Joerns, tine secretary Of the
tax commission, left last night for
Ration Colfax county, to confer with
%. L. Phillips, delinquent tai attorney
in that judicial district. 1t is con
sidered highly desirable for the de-
~linquent tax attorneys to get together
and map out a plan for handling the
delinquent tax problem in this state.

Hardly ss Picturesque as the StIited
Forms So Popular With Lovers
In the Pages Of Fiction, but
Meant the Same Thino.

Perhaps the romantic proposals of
fiction are more picturesque than the
usual proposals of real life; the fact
that lovers are reluctant witnesses
make 1t hard to tell. But certainly the
queer or comic proposals and attempt
ed proposals of fiction cannot be any
queerer than some Of those recorded In

gives an amusing middle West exam
pie Of a country bachelor who be-
latedly made up his mind to marry,
and In his default of female acauaint-
ance took his place on the top rail Of
4 roadside fence and called to the first
woman who passed: "Say! You a mar
tied woman"
"And then at the frightened answer
Indignantly gasped out, Yes, sir he
offered a mere 'Ohr for an apology
and explanation, and let himself vanish
by falling into the cornfield behind
him"
Almost equally contemptuous Of

In middle life who had lived con-
tentedly on his farm under the able
administration of an aunt only a year
or two older than himself. His next

small but cozy farmstead, was q COM
petent and contented spinster, In whom
Enos had displayed less than the or

day he hailed her owe the dividing

from where they are until they're
picked off or the advance goes too far
ahead, and the litter bearers get them
and bring them in.-From Letter Of an
American Artillery Lieutenant, print
ed In Golfers Weekly.
