night Of the dying cay OF the
occasional leap-year month, was
complied with oy about $50 peo-

The entertainment deserves a
two column write-up-if we had
the space-one Of the best social
functions in the history of the
town.
Prof. Earl Denney sat at the
head of the table and called
out the NUMBERS as provid
ed On the program for the even.
ing's entertainment.
Judge Joseph E. Terral. the
silver tongued orator of our neck
of. the woods, was first on
the hill boards TO face the foot
lights. and in the course of two
hours cracked j,kes, tod about
com mercial clubs. lauded our

ative jokes illustrative of the
various points brought out. ais
talk, like Judge Terral's. was i'm,
mensely enjoyed by all.
! A program without the Misses
Herbert IN it wouldn't be any
program at all, and anything
they sing is sweet, whether there
Ia anything in the song itself or
not. On this occasion the song was
beautiful, and the you 6 ladies

About Promoting
Home Enterprises
We believe there is such a
thing as getting too many irons
in the fire at one time.
In promoting enterprises, it is
better to get back Of one or two.
and push them to a successful
conclusion-better than to get
back of a dozen and to get no.
where with any of them.
AT the club meetings several
enterprises have been thrown on
the screen, among other things a
desire expressed for Springfield
to get back of the broom factory
and to assist in promoting high
school.
These are the two ropositions
that we believe our town should
concentrate its efforts upon.
Springfield ought to haye got
ten back Of the broom factory
with its mighty force in the very
first place; but instead VIC are
sorry to say that the great ci'y
sa a whole WAS mostly quiescent
and inactive.
Az an instadee, 6nr energstic'
and hard working solicitors
rounded up our good citizens a
number of tim mes--and succeeded
IN Inducing three to buy stock
bank r Holt. w. M. Stewart and
Flint & aagerman; when really
fifty shares ought tu have been
sold Lere.
There were 500 shares of stock
and still something over $50 TO
ne sod; and we would suggest
that the way right now for the
good p..ple of Springfield to get
u.ck of tais factor y is by buy nz
,hls slock-getting their money
into it.
Broomcorn is the great staple
money crop of Baca county, and
heuce there isn't anything that
c 1ulu be brought this way that
would mean as much for B'ca
county as a factory that woul u
give a positive known marke I
aud broom prices instead OF buy
els' prices Tor their brush.
Ii Is Consequently fervently
nup.d mat not only Springfield,
uut all OF Baca county, will get
back of this great prosperity
Proposition, and help t1 push 1t
70 a successful conclusion.
Our most worthy and for ward
looking superintendent has
plan for a county high school
that is simple and will be taxen

The thing is for Springfield.
and all of Baca county, to oack
her in this high school plan, anu
the chances are that the oulld'
ing for the high school can BE-

The acting commissioners first
statement and argument-last
year very little good brush. not
only in Baca county, but every
where, specially dwarf-growing
countries = Kansas, Oklahoma,
Colorado, Texas, and New Mexi-
co.
In the very first place. we
would be greatly interested in
knowing just where the agricul.
tural department gets its infor.
nation.
In the second place. while it's
true there was lots of poor brush
grown in Baca county, it's also
true there was more good brush
gre wn in Baca county than ever
before in its history.
Asacting commish says there
is a stiff demand for good brush,
be might waste some of his sur
plus energies in explaining why
less is paid here for good brush
than is paid in the famous Iii
nois belt for poor brush-why
here they don't pay a decent
price for any brush.

reason for the production of SO
much poor brush in southeastern

most part to the unfavorable
weather condition. both tor pro-

ton of brush, also for its curu g

facts, su's not to have gone off un
the wrong foot.

tice CAUSED uncer'a ainty as to fu-

sicner has the b rise hltcI.ed in;n
the cart the wrong way to ge
