COUNTY SCHOOL
BOARD POWERS

In the case Of the county board
of education VS.. the board of coun-
ty commissioners, suit in which
the county school board sought to
have the tax levies for country
school purposes raised and for the
further purpose of having allowed
the sum of $500 for the purchase
of three automobile trucks to be
used in transporting pupils to and
from certain consolidated schools in
the county, the court made the fol-
lowing findings of fact:
He found that the county school
board had exclusive control of the
property of the different school dis
tricts and the funds thereof; that the
funds should be expended by them
for school purposes and school equip
ment, that the estimate rendered for
school purposes was reasonable and
should be allowed; that the board
was within its powers when it EN-

TAXPAYERS TO MEET

AT SANTA FE
A meeting of Taxpayers of New
Mexico will be held at the Capitol
building in Santa Fe, Friday and
Saturday, October 18th and 18th.
There have been held meetings of all
kinds to discuss ways and means in
volVing the expenditure of money
contributed by the taxpayer. Now,
it is the latter's turn to take matters
relating to public finances under ad-
visement He will seek the answer
to the question: "How much money
is being spent for government"
For what is it spent?" Is too
much being spent?" care we get
ting the full value for the funds we
contributed" SIS there waste and
extravaganza, and, if so, what are
the remedies?"
1t is possible that a meeting of
county commissioners and assessors
will be called during the week by the
State Tax Commission. If so, it is
hoped that the dates fixed will so
overlap as to permit a joint session
or two with the Taxpayers Associa-
ton. Thus will the disbursing Off
cials meet with the taxpayers in con-
ference on the vital subject of pub
lie revenues and expenditures.
Thus far arrangements have been
only partially completed. All sub
jects will be so treated as to bring
all points of view into consideration.
THE Road Program in New Mexicop
will be discussed by Honorable Eu-
gene Kempenich, member of the
State Highway Commission. There
is no one in the state who is better
fitted to handle this subject than
Mr.. Kempenich. "School Revenues
and Expenditures" will be handled
by DR.. H. E. Mcbride of Las Cruces,
whose businesslike administration of
the schools of Dona Ana is RESPONSE
Bile for his selection to lead in the
discussion of this important topic.
j. 7. Conway, county clerk of Colfax
county, will point out the possibili-
ties for economy and better admin
istration of general county affairs.
Judge E. R. Wright of Santa Fe,
will initiate the campaign for simpli-
fication and coordination in the state,
county and town government. From
the discussion of this subject an in
terest will be aroused in movement
that will result in great saving to
taxpayers. "Waste in Government"
is the subject assigned to Honorable
W. E. Lindsey, formerly governor of |
New Mexico, who has been devoting
considerable study to the matter of
our public finances. Besides these
set subjects, there will be reports of
the officers of the Association and
addresses by Governor Larrazolo and
other officials. All speeches will be
brief and to the point and ample
time will be allowed for informal
discussion.
The Taxpayers Association has
been in existence for four years and
is entering its fifth year of useful
ness. Its members are found in every
county of the state and its influence
is seen in the increasing attention to
economy and efficiency in the ad-
of public affairs in all
departments of government.

GOOD COVERING FOR SILAGE
Run in CornstaIks From Which Ears
Have Been Removed-Top Is
Thoroughly Tramped Down. ~

Prepared by the united States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Several years ago it was common
practice to cover the silage with some
material, such as dirt or cut straw, in
order to prevent the top layer from
spelling. At present when any provi-
sion at all is made for this purpose it
consists usually in merely running in
on top cornstalks from which the ears
have been removed. By this method
some of the corn grain is saved. The
heavy green cornstalks pack much bet
ter than straw does and so exclude the
air more effectually. The top is thor
oughly tramped and then wet down.
Sometimes oats are sown on the top be-
fore wetting. The heat generated by
the fermenting mass will cause the oats
to sprout quickly and form dense
sod, which serves to shut off the air
from the silage beneath, and in con-
sequence only a very shallow layer
spoils. Whenever possible, it is better
to begin feeding from the silo as soon
as it is filed by doing this no cover
ing is necessary and there should be no
loss on account of spelling.

Aborioines of Texas Unlike the Fierce
Tribes of Other Sections Of
the Country.

Stone implements found in ancient
workshops in Texas, antedating
French, Spanish or American settlers,
prove that the original settlers Of this
state were not like the fierce tribes
encountered in modern times by the
white settlers.
Little is known about the aboriginal
population of Texas, which lies be-
tween the Pueblo and mound builders
area, but DR.. ]. Walter Fewkes. chief
of the American bureau of ethnoIogy,
aided by Professor Peace of the Uni
versity of Texas, have located some
long-forgotten village sites. Their in
vestigations lead to the belief that the
original people Of the middle part OF
the state were hunters, while those OF
the eastern part near the timber belt,
were followers of agricultural pur-
suits and were skilled in the manufac-
ture of pottery. They resembled the
mound builders The western part of
the state was a more elevated and
less arid plateau. Here the people re-
sembled the Pueblos of New Mexico.
Some of the tribes are reported to
have been cannibals. In the opening
of the eighteenth century Apaches.
Comanches and other savage tribes
roamed over Texas following the buff
falo. or raiding across it into Mexico.
There seems to have been constant
hostility with these Indians, in which
many smaller tribes were extermi-
mated.

ever an Anderson did seemed right to
her, especially if the Anderson was
either her brother George or her son
George. "You must promise me-" she
said feebly, never to use those bad
words again."
Il promise not to-" he said prompt
ly-and he whispered an immediate
codicil under his breath: unless get
mad at somebody !" This satisfied a
code according to which, in his own
sincere belief, he never told lies.
"That's a good boy" she said, and
he ran out to the yard, his punishment
over.
AS an Anderson he was already a
public character, and the story Of his
adventure in the Rev. Malloch Smiths
front yard became a town topic. Many
people glanced at him with great dis
taste thereafter, when they Glanced
to encounter him, which meant moth
ing to George, because he innocently
believed most grown people to be nee
essarily cross looking as a normal phe
nomenon resulting from the adult
state; and he failed to comprehend
that the distasteful glances had any
personal bearing upon himself. If he
bad perceived such bearing he would
have been affected only so far, prob
ably, as to mutter, "Riffraff!" Pos
sibly he would have shouted it; and
certainly most people believed a story

Mrs. Amberson's funeral, when Geor-
gle was eleven. George was reported
TO have differed with the undertaken
about the seating Of the family; his
indignant voice had become audible :
"Well, who is the most important per-
neral?" And later he had projected
his head from the window of the fore
most mourners' carriage, as the under
taker happened to pass.
"Riffraff!"
There were people-grOwn people
they were-who expressed themselves
longingly: they did hope to live to see
the day, they said, when that boy
would get his come-upance! (They
used that honest word, so much bet
ter than deserts" and not until many
years later to be more clumsily rem
dered as what is coming to him.')
Something was bound to take him
down some day, and they only wanted
to be there But George heard moth
ing of this, and the yearners for his
taking down went unsatisied, while
their yearning grew the greater as the
happy day of fulfllment was longer
and longer postponed

tilated it is preferable to expose the
horses to digestive troubles on the
pastures rather than to attempt to
carry them in the barns
The feet of the work animals
should be examined frequently during
the summer, in order that accumula-
tions of dirt may be removed. A few
moments devoted to scraping out the
hoofs each morning and evening will
add to the comfort of the beasts, as
often such foreign materials as nails
or stones lodge in the wall or sole of
the foot or are collected in the clefts
of the frog or between the bars and
the frog. If the hoofs are excessive
ly dry or brittle, they should be
softened with some good oil or hoof
ointment, and if they are ragged or
tend to split, they should be rasped
on the edges and trimmed until
smooth.
1t is advisable to clip horses when
the weather warns up in the spring
and heavy work begins. When clip
ped, they work much better, and they
do not become chilled after work from
having thoroughly soaked the heavy
coat Of winter hair with Precipitation
Horses that are clipped as soon as
heavy spring work begins should be
bIanketed at night.

Grass is not a desirable materia,

ing work animals out on Sundays to
eat grass, to which they are unaccus-

in a cool, darkened stable, where they
could be carried on half rations Of
grain during idleness.
