BEAN GROWERS HOLD
CROP FOR SIX CENTS
MARKET PRICE GAINS FROM ONE
HALF TO THREE QUARTERS or
CENT PER POUND; CALIFORNIA
CROP is SHORT.

House. N. M, Dec. 17-Acdofdina
to a report by w. A. Field, secretary
Of the New Mexico Bean Growers as
ISOLATION. the bean market has adj
vahced from one-half to three.quarters
OF d cent per pound Ia the past
month, ana most Of the members OF
the association are holding their beans
for d s~ixecent price. Colorado, 1t Is
said, has disposed OF most Of It's
crop and dealers there expect to be
IN the market for most Of the New
Mexico crop. Four carloads have been
shipped into that state Ia the past
two OF three days and there Is pros
1lects Of making many other sales in
the near future. On account Oh the
fact that California produced only
about SO per cent Of a normal crop
this season 1t Is thought that there
viii also be a good market for the
New Mexico crop IN that state during
the coming season. New Mexico has
shipped UP to date about 200 carloads
of beans, Mr.. Field said, most OF them
going to the eastern markets, the
greater part Of this amount being sold
by growers who nre not members OF
the association. There Is also a good
demand for beans for export shipment
and it is thought that II the New
Mexico growers hold out long enough
they will be able to get the highest
possible market price.

The Seven Wonders
Of the Ancient World

y RtI
The seven wonders Of the world
prior to the great inventions the last
forty-five years were the Pyramids
OF Egypt, Hanging Gardens Of Semi
ramis at Babylon, Phidias's Statute
Of Jupiter at Athens, Temple of Dia-
ma at Hgphesus, Mausoleum at Hall
~caTnassus, Colossus Of Rhodes and
the Pharos or lighthouse at Alexan-
dria.
The seven wonders Of the ancient
world never amounted to much ex-
'cept in the way OF scenery. And as
scenery they wouldn't be mach Of a
sight today. Nevertheless, in their
time they were truly wonders and as
such had an incalcuable effect upon
the lives of the ancients.
The hanging gardens OF Babylon
doubtless represented q rather medi-
ere quality OF Landscape gardening,
but they were wonderful to the Baby
l6nitans and as much a matter of
pride to them as a history building
is to d Texas city today.
The Colossus Of Rhodes was a mas
sive bronze joke, but II stirred be-
holders to awe. Those who came TO
see ii did not laugh; they only rub.
beredl The sight OF am immense
image OF q man stradling a harbor
did not strike the tourists OF those
days as comical, but only as great.
And the end Of that mighty effigy-
what q change 1t was from heroic
to slowly dispossession. from
to anti-climax! The Colossus
Of Rhodes was dethroned by an
earthquake and sold by the thrifty
t~ownspeople to a junk dealer.
All mans wonders perish In time.
Only the things Of GOD endure.
