Here's another fact

Here's another fact that
brooms mad of all hurl brush
would be no more valuable or
useful than those made of hurls
for covers and inferior (short)
grades for insides.
In other words. the short Gn-
ferior) grades can be, and are,
worked into brooms without af-
fecting their quality.
Another fact is-all hrooms do
not need to be of the same quail
ty-and no factory aims to turn
out all one-class. high-quali.y
parlor brooms. any more than in
any other line of manufactured
articles.
About the cheapest eastern
made parlor broom at this time
retails at about Is cents, or a lit
tie up; and We'll warrant that in
this lowest priced broom nine-
teen-twentieths of the brush
grown in Baca county is usable
and is used.
Let US just figure little.
Counting 1000 of these poor. Is
cent brooms to the ton--$9O0
and for brush that is workable
in these kinds of orooms poor
est quality usable, they don't
want to buy at any price, while
for the insides of their higher
priced brooms they offer in the
neighborhood of $40 or $50.
Let us suppose that in buying
this poorer brush for the poorer
brooms one-third of the brush
would be unusable for any pur-
pose, that would still leave $500 a
ton the brooms would retail fot,
say either $3.50 Oh $400 whole
sale. which woulo he the factory
end of the bargain.
We thought we could wind up
our answer to the acting commits
sioner this time, but we find we
still have another drive coming;
80 next week again.

The Broomcorn Situation
In Payment of Our Respects to
The Hon. Acing Commission
er of Agriculture, Whose
Letter Was Recently Pub
lished in the Herald.
Reply to the Letter
Item by Item

Reply to the Letter
Item by Item
The acting secretary commits
sioner of agriculture cl.,ses his
letter as follows.
"You will realize. I am sure.
that it is practically impossible
to create artitlcially a demand for
a product of this nature [poorl
especially when the prevailing
quality is inferior. AS has been
stated. there is an over.suppiy OF
poor brush. demand for which is
extremely limited "
In other words, you growers of
western brush are driving your
geese to the wrong m k g t
when you come to the depart-
ment of agriculture with your
tales of woe.
Here is a fact-if all such
brush as was grown last year in
Baca county were taken of the
market and made a bon fire of,
brooms before another crop could
be marketed could be, and prob
ably would be, jumped to $500
and $1,000. and even then a
whole lot OF people would have to
use SOAP weed brooms or go
without.
Facts are that brooms can use
and do call for all the brush
grown down to q certain length.
and what there IL under that GER
tain length is small part Of the
brush grown in the county.

At the hotel we got our first
inkling of the actual nights
events. and of that citizen soldier
band, aud then understood that
old Bill wasn't giving US any
moonshine when he told us of
that citizen band behind the wa
tering tank.
That day crowded itself thick
with events. piled one on anoth-
er. In the very first place. Ed.
Maxwell and Bill Rowan rounded
up the town for guns, presumed.
ly getting every gun.
Incidentally, we haven't any
idea of how many guns they got.
or what they did with them after
they got them. We arc not pre-
suming though there were many
after the citizen soldiers hiked
out with what they had, and
think it likely they threw what
they did get into some of the
city wells.
The COW boys showed no dis.
position to round up or trouble
those who were not connected
with the Isrealitish soldiers, or
who had not previously formed
any "entangling alliances" down
in the outlawe6, country of mo.
Mans Land"
Hence the writer ambled about
over town, surmounted with that
aforesaid silk plug hat, which is
supposed to be a standing target
for outlaws to shoot at, without
previous warning or fur thur
provocation-an6 no questions
asked or privileges taken.
1t was probably 900 or 1000
a. %, when the first lively and
eye-opening event of the morning
took place.
The event was - Ed Maxwell
riding a horse by the side Of the
sidewalk, with his Winchester
across his saddle, and big Bill
Lindley on the sidewalk. some.
thing over a block north of the
saloon, towards which both we're
going. The gun on the saddle
was pointing straight at big Bill
FLindley, and Ed Maxwell was
saying
You'll be a United States
marshal, will you, You --s--
-! You'll be a United States
marshal. will you'll"
And Bill was saying-"I fxed
that all right with Bill Row IN
yesterday. l fixed it all right
with Rowan"
But Maxwell wasn't hearing
anything Lidley was saying, and
kept right on cussing him
Il ought to knock your - -
head off of you, you --s- -
You'll be United States
marshal, you - s. -!
| ought to knock your - - head
off of you, you - s. -----!
ETC., etc , from the time he first
started Bill Lindley from his
home down the side walk, until
he landed him in the saloon and
turned him over TO Bill Thomp-
son for safe keeping,
Ditto next week.

Dear Aunt
[ received vour letter a short

were in the lastfes weeks Of the
war, when we cleared the Ger.
mans ont OF the Argonne Forest
ard pushed them back through
Sedan. Those ware the days
that we didn't get much rest.
When we started the Germans
back, the hard part was to keep
in contact with them. as they
blew out the bridges and dyni-
mited the roads so that many
times we had to put ten or twelve
horses on the guns to pull
through the swampy ground.
There we're manv divisions in
that drive towards Sedan. and
though our division bad been in
bitter fighting tA several weeks,
we were alwaysS . the lead. The
