COMMISSIONERS REoRGANIzEl

The board of county commissioners
'ef Trego county net Ia annual ses-
sion at the court house Monday for
apprcva1 of bonds and making the ap-
poIntments.
S. S. Harvey, of ogallah township,
the new member of the board was not
present on account of the illness of
his wife, so Commissioners Newcom-
er and Hamm and the county clerk
proceeded with the business. Mr..
Newcomer was elected chairman of
the board for the coming year.
DIR. w. Y. Herrick was reappointed
county health officer at salary of
three hundred dollars. N: W. Phares
retains the job as janitor of the court
house at 100000 per year. The four
banks of the county were each desig-
mated as county repositories. The
trustees of each township were ap-
pointed as deputy county assessors to
do the assessing work for 1919 The
Trego County Reporter was designat-
ed as the official county paper for
Trego county.
During the last several years Trego
county has held three shares of stock
in the Wa-Keeney Telephone Co. Mr..
COTE, the local manager of the COM
pany, appeared before the board and
negotiated for the purchse of this
stock at it's face value, $25 per share.
Hereafter the board will meet in
| regular meetings the first Monday in
each month. This has been made nee
essary on account of there being so
much road work and other business
which the commissioners should look
after. A delegation of farmers from
| the northeast part of the county ap-
peared before the commissioners on
/ behalf of what is known as the Ar
/ mold bridge or crossing, but the mat
| ter was carried over until the next
/ regular meeting.

STATE UNDER NEW MANIAC
MENT

The State of Kansas is now under
new management, Governor Allen and
the other state officials having taken
charge of affairs last Monday. The
new state legislature is also in ses-
sion and is thoroughly organized for
business. In his inaugural address
Governor Allen outlined his plan of
work for the state for the coming
two years and also gave report to
the people of Kansas and Missouri of
the doings of the 35th division in the
world war in France. He told why
there was such great sacrifice of
life and limb in the famous battle of
Argonne attributing it to a lack of
support from artillery and air. The
Kansas and Missouri infantry boys
had to fight against the German ar
tillery, machine gun corps, air forces
and infantry but against the great
odds won the day but at an awful
sacrifice. A day of reckoning will some
day come and it is hoped that at that
time the person or persons guilty for
the great blunder will receive just
punishment.
There. are two lady officials at the
capital of Kansas just now, the first
time in the history of the state. One
in the Office of stats superintendent
of public instruction and the other in
the legislature. The state legislature
of Kansas is the twenty-ninth state
in the union to ratify the temperance
amendment to the national constitu-
ton. The amendment was rushed
through with all speed possible, with
suspended rules and the throttle wide

"On Failing From Buggy"-The
Lesson a Poem Teaches,

Whoa. Billy"
An old white horse. htched to a
buggy came to a stop at the corner
of Maine and Delaware streets, Delhi.
Stand still, Billy, dear. You shall
have an apple when you get home"
A girls gentle voice said it, The
sweetness of her tone and the fact
that she tripped attracted the atten-
ton of young man.
Are you hurt, Miss Doolittle ?" he
asked. Cor it was the noted poet
ess who had fallen.)
No. she replied sweetly to p. Slas
Pettibone, the well known tonsorial
artist. CT was he who had rushed
to her assistance.) But" she added,
Il might have been had it not hap
pened the sidewalk is soft pine"
Seldom had Miss Doolittle joked in
public. Hers has always been q seri-
Gus life, but in this instance she was
not quite herself. The fall had Jared
her into a sort of half dream.
Mr.. Pettibone laughed and said:
Indeed you are quite a humidor,
Ella"
BY this time quite a crowd had
collected, so the poetess merely
bowed goodby to the young man
ana walked into the Public Library.
Slipping into a chair in a corner of
the room. she quickly summoned the
muse and wrote a rhyme entitled:
'On Failing From a Buggy"
Strange as it may seem, Mrs,
Elisha Q. Pertle. Promptress of the
Women's Betterment League. hap
pened in just as the poetess was
finishing the rhyme. Mrs. Pertle sus-
pected what was going on and ad-
vanced smiling.

ORCHARD THIEVES,

So many automobile parties in the
Pecos valley trespassed in orchards
the farmers recently organized an as
sociation, appointed a secret commit
tee to prosecute the sponging individ
uals, and will pay 500 for informa-
ton leading to conviction.
At the head of the association is
Colonel De Bremond. who has Just
returned recently from France and
found many people other than boches
are raiders
The Pecos valley is not the only
section in New Mexico where it IS
not thought to be theft to pluck a
little fruit that the owner grows tc
syl for money. The person who en-
ters an orchard and takes five cents
worth of fruit is Just as dishonest as
one who goes into a store and pur-
loins a similar quantity.
While an orchardist may be too len
lent to prosecute, the Pecos valley
plan is such that the injured party
cannot excuse a pleader, for the as
ISOLATION takes the matter out Of the
hands of the owner.
If the fruit growers all over the
state pursue a similar method oe re-
buking petty appropriations, some peo-
pie will be taught the truth of .he
maxim that honesty is the best policy.
A few days in the county Jail at
old Albuquerque in July would GER
tainly make trnit thieves repenlant.

ers to become the owners Of their lit
Vile homes. Any concern that has done
that has placed tte business on a much
more secure basis. The homo owner
never is an anarchist.
Conditions Of congestion in many
manufacturing towns have become al
most uncomfortable, Families are
herded together promiscuously and
without regard to common decency.
In rural districts, much of the
trouble in keeping farm help is due
to lack of suitable dwellings. When
the farmer puts up one or more cot
tages for his hired men and gives
them a bit of land to cultivate. he
does not have to shift his help every
summer or oftener.
This is a problem that every indus
try, from the big corporation down
to the lonely farmer, must work out
somehow. The man who has settled
down in a pretty little home doesn't
become a Bolshevist. If you can per-
suade him to buy It on a mortgage,
and pay interest instead of rent, he
is settled for good as a constructive
worker for the good of the commu-
nifty. Ii will be for the interest OF
Albuquerque to take this up as q
community matter and see that there
is a comfortable home for every in
dustrious worker who wants to live
here,

GOOD HOUSING.

From all over the country comes
the report of shortage of dwellings,.
IN some places people insert adved-
tisements in newspapers Offering a
reward for anyone who will find them
home.
No Industry is going to prosper un-
less there are comfortable homes -,r
fiie workers. They will go somewhere
c,se, and the business will have to be
constantly breaking in new neto.
Many manufacturing concerns took
~ fihc housing problem lol; 49, and
have built Hundreds of homes for
workers. They do their best to en-
courage home spirit offering prizes
for gardening and the best looking
cottage. They make it easy for work.

HOW TO TELL WHALES.


The distinction between whale and
shark, the first being mammal and
the latter a fish. is important to i'm
porters, because there is a duty on fish
and none on whales under the recent
ruling of the bureau of fisheries of the
department of commerce. Practically,
the ruling does not greatly affect the
American market, because the whale
meat which We are consuming IN in
creasing quantities is nearly all of do
nestle catch, and is subject to no duty
In any event But it may operate fur
Their to remove the prejudice against
whale now held by those who have a
mistaken notion that fish are not alto
gether desirable as food. BY whatever
name, whale and other denizens of the
sea are rich in nutriment, and at pres
ent prices of beefsteaks and porkshops
deserves serious consideration. Con-
sumption of shark meat also has in
creased greatly since the war began.

BUILDING Up ONES TOWN.

The Saturday Evening Post pub
fishes an article setting forth how
many towns, in reaching out for big
opportunities from outside, neglect
less ambitious but more substantial
chances for growth existing at home.
1t told of a Chamber of Commerce in
a southern city that had worked IN
movement to get more factories from
other places. They had arranged
big dinner to promote enthusiasm.
They had invited as their guest a
prominent man in the industrial
world. lie told them more solid
sense in five minutes than their ora
tors had put into all the rest of the
evening. He warned them to eXer-
else caution as to how they backed
costly schemes to start new factories
making lines of goods for which there
was no labor supply in sight, He
urged them to develop the resources
they already had,
SO the business community dropped
for the time being their more ambiti-
Gus projects and developed home re-
sources. They found one man operat-
ing a trunk factory employing six
people. They helped him expand so
he employed so people. They went
along this line. providing capital and
machinery for little industries that
seemed sound and capable of growth.
They built better roads to facilitate
movement of produce. In two years
they had increased population by
1000 workers.
This advice holds good in most
towns whether little or big. A great
advance can sometimes be made by
attracting in outside industries. But
these chances come rarely. Mean
while the most hopeful chance in a
town like Albuquerque is usually to
help something at home to expand,
to encourage ambitious young men to
make a start, to develop the near by
country, and make the place so good
a residence town that people will like
to live in it.
The great asset of Albuquerque is
its climate.
