20 all county clerks IN New Mexico inviting

and with a view Of having the state supply the
shortage wherever IL is possible.
The governors letter, a copy Of which is in

method Of operation Ia be pursued in extending aid
TO stoekgrowers. Probably there will be some crit

might easily result during the next few weeks
from n serious and widespread feed shortage The
stock growers OF this state need help and any
course that will extend help TO the growers ON a
practical, effective, business basis will in the end
fuily justify itself.
The State Council Of Defense has conducted
all Of its operations ON n very effective business
basis. up 10 this time. II is wholly reasonable to
expect that Il will continue 10 conduct lis aid un-

The Stars in Their Courses
BY DIR. A CRANE


II IL said somewhere in nm old Jewish book that the stars ia
their courses fought against Siscru."
There Is not much hope Of success for any man against whom
fight the stars in their courses. And yet every generation brings its
crop of idiots who insist upon doing that same.
One OF the latest examples is W. Ilohcnzolcrn & Company. They
evolved a pretty theory that by lying, bullying, and booing they
could scare God intimidate mankind, and gobblc mp the world and
the fulncss thereof.
The stars ia their COURSES are rather well understood by the
generality 81 civilized people. For an insight into their meaning aud
purpose We are indebted most Of all 10 the Jewish race. Il was given

America Loses Another OF Its Grand
Old Men.

When BUCHANAN was elected Pres

been member Of the Vermont House
OF Representatives for two terms, and
In the House Of that year he was
Speaker, an Office he held four years.
In 1916. intellectually alert, of ripened
experience, and with his Amerlcanisn
unimpaired by the viclssltudes of a
lifetime spent in politics, he was
among the leaders of those far sighted
citizens who demanded that the honor
OF their country should be defended
with all las resources of men and ma.
terials. He lived to see the United
States following the policy he urged
upon It in his last contributions to its
political development, vindicate itself
on the battlefield and the sea.
Mr.. EDMUNDs's career was unusual
In its length and covered some Of the
most interesting and exciting Incl.
dents Of our national history. He
went to the Senate in 1866. The war
was over; the period Of reconstruc.
tion had begun. He was an ardent
champion of the rights OF freedmen.
lie was one OF the court before which
ANDREW JOHNSON was impeached.
When the shadow of civil strife was
cast across the land by the disputed
election Of 1876 he was power in
Congress. His part in the improvlsed
instrument for the determination of
that contest was conspicuous, yet in
remarkable degree he escaped the bit.
terness it aroused. Ills name will al.
ways be associated with financial rail.
road legislation of half n century ago
with the anti-polygamy measures
which aroused such heated discussion,
and with the beginnings of the anti.
monopoly enactments that now cover
50 many pages In our statute books.
AS Senator Mr.. EDMUNDs repre-
sented the historic type of American
statesman. He had high regard for
the traditions. the conventions, the
formnlities, the rules. of the chamber
in which he did his work. To him the
injunction of secrecy was more than
legal fiction; it imposed n duty, and
implied an obligation he scrupuously
performed. lie was dignlfed with the
dignity that manifests seriousness of
purpose, devotion to high tasks, study
Of the work that lay before him.
New England has produced many
great men, and among them the name
Of EDMuNDs will always be enrolled.
