couple of years ago. There is prob ably some left. At present it is cas- fer to raise money for Republican than Democratic partisan purposes because of the generally prevailing opinion that the Republicans stand the best chance of ~electing their Presidential ticket
 'eTook Doughbag by Forelock."
 That impression may be changed by subsequent events, or may not be. At any rate, the admirers of MT. Hays contend that he has taken the doughbag by the forelock," as it were, and will have less trouble in raising money-and need less-than had he displayed less prescience. He probably will have enough to meet any demands, even if luck should run against his ticket.
 The manner in which the contri- buttons were solicited by the Repub- lican National Committee was most systematic and thorough. Each State was divided into districts, the ma chinery devised to exploit Liberty War Loans and Red Cross and other drives" being used. Cities like New York were divided into zones trades, industries and professions, organized into groups each headed by a man of recognized standing and high local prominence in the Republican party.
 An agent of the National Commit tee was sent to the meetings of those groups to explain the Hays plan and answer questions. Fifty per cent of the amounts contributed at these meetings was to be paid over to the Finance Committee of the National Committee at once and the other half immediately after the non1ina- tions or when called. A pledge was given in each instance that none o1 the money contributed before the nominating conventions would be used in the nominating campaigns.

ANCIENT SWAMP
 ANIMALS LIVED
 IN NEW MEXICO

Fossil turtles, some of them not less than three million and others seven million years old, have recently been found in San Juan County, northern New Mexico. Remains of extinct turtles are rather common, but most of them consist of many small pieces, badly crushed and flat tened or otherwise damaged. The re- markable feature of many of those lately discovered in New Mexico is that the bony boxlike shell is almost as perfect as when it was occupied by the body of the living animal dur ing the Tertiary and Cretaceous per iods. No less than 50 specimens were perfect enough to be identified and described by specialists Of the United States Geological Survey, Depart ment of the Interior. Sixteen of them are new to science and have there fore been given new names.
 A comparison of living turtles shows that the collection consists en- tirely of swamp and river turtles, containing no strictly land turtles. The little ones are about inches
 long, but some of the largest meas
 ure nearly 30 inches,
 In the same rocks with the Upper Creta aceous turtles there are found fragments of those strange reptiles known as diSonSaurs. Four different kindS-fleSh-eating, duck-bil1ed,
 horned, and armored-were identi- fled. The armored dinosaurs, nearly complete skeletons of which have been found in Montana and Canada, were the most bizarre animals the world has ever known. They were stocky, short-legged. big-bodied crea- l lures completely incased in bony armor. Flat plates covered the back and hips, the neck was protected by transverse rings of bone placed one behind another, and the belly was covered with mail-like mosaic of small bony plates. Even the eyes were provided with bony shutters i like the visor on a helmet, which were closed down over the eyebalIs in | times of danger.

consumers that the car shortage is in large part responsible for the pre- vailing tightness of credit and the maintenance of high prices.
 The committee was told that there is a shortage of 22s, 500 freight cars, of more than 5000 passenger cars, and of 3,190 locomotives, and that 100000 freight cars, 4,000 passenger cars, and 2,O0O locomotives should be ordered at once to meet the minimum requirements of business and the public. A loan of 100000 has been asked for because of the re- volving fund of sSoo,OOo,0oo provided for in the Transportation Act, there is availab able probably not more than
 $125, 5,000,00O for equipment. Should
 this sum and the OO,O00,000 loan
 both become available, the total would still be far short of the ST.
 500, 100000 which the railway execu-
 tives declare would be required to
 make good for the entire shortage of
 cars and locomotives.
 Bankers Oppose Loan.
 A committee of representative
 bankers appearing before the Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce
 has taken issue with the railroad ex- ecutives as to the $50O,000,000 Gov ernment loan proposal. They declared that a loan would mean an increase in taxation or continuance of pres ent high Federal taxes, and would thus indefinitely prolong the pres ent steri1ity of the investment mar ket by preventing the investment o1 1 money in taxable securities. Guaran- 1 tees of railroad securities they op- posed on the ground that such a ster would seriously impair the Govern l Inent's credit and would cause out

 In speaking of the contest Post master C. F.

Not only is the principal the people invest guaranteed by the entire re- sources of the nation, but the money originally invested continually earns an attractive interest and Can al- ways be redeemed at the original cost, plus accumulated interest

Representative of the various rail-
 road systems of the country have
 applied to the Interstate Commerce
 Commission for an average advance
 of 2S per cent. in freight rates to
 yield the s1,017, 100000 which they
 say is needed in order to bring the
 earnings of the roads up to the per
 cent basis allowed under the Trans
 portation Act of 1920. It has been
 suggested by the railroads that
 passenger rates remain Jas they are and that the required increase in revenues be obtained from freight
 charges alone
 Railroads in eastern territory esti- mate the need of an increase in all revenues of 21.1 per cent. or BOA per cent. in freight rates. Southern railroads propose to advance freight rates by 309 per cent. to provide 20-7 per cent. larger revenues. The
 needed freight advance in the West is put at 33.9 per cent. to increase
 all revenues by IT per cent
 According to the railroad men, their net income fell to $510, 100000 in 1919, from s1,05e, 100000 in 1916, their investment meanwhile having been increased by 0,000,000.

received the signature of the governor
on June and was first enforced at
Bangor on July 4 of the same year.
This law was re-enacted, in all its
parts, in 1858, and was made more
stringent in 1867 and again in 1870. r.
was so amended in 1872 as to bring
cider and wine from grapes grown in
the state within the prohibition. In
1884 an amendment was added to the
constitution prohibiting forever the
sale of Intoxicating liquors within the
limits of the state. Since 1851 the ex-

REBUKED FROM THE PULPIT
Pastoral Adnonition, Gently Conveyed,
Should Have Been Enough for
Even Choir Boys.

The pastor Of small parish in a
New Jersey town was known far and
wide about the countryside for his
quaint ways and eccentric habits. He
had small choir which he augmented
on special occasions with boys from
the neighborhood. These recruits were
sometimes unruly and he did not al
ways find 1t easy to hold them within
the proper bounds.
In the course Of a Christmas morn
ing sermon several choir boys began to
eat peanuts surreptitiously and the
cracking of the nhells was plainly
audible to the congregation. At first
the rector paid no attention to them.
but finally they got on his nerves.
Pausing after an impassionate out
burst of Oratory. he fixed his gaze
sternly upon them and thus addressed
them in reproving tones:
"Boys-you choir boys. mean. If
you must eat peanuts in church, please,
oh, please, do not crunch the Shells" I"
then turning again to the congregation.
he resumed his discourse.

LIEN LAW A FARCE

The purpose of all lien laws is
to give those who furnish sup
plies, materials and labor for the
construction, improvement or re-
pair of certain specific property
a lien upon that property, so that
they may not be defrauded of
their labor, supplies or materials.
This lien law is supposed to apply
to our mines but the law now in
effect affords but little protec-
tion. The law has proviso, that
it shall not apply in case that the
mine is being operated by lease.
Nearly all of the leasing now, is
being done by Incorporated COM
panies. The miner or merchant
has no recourse for his money if
the company closes down owing
them.
AS rule the Incorporated leas-
ing companies own no property
which can be attached. The in
dividual member can not be held
for the debts of the corporation.
A lien cannot be taken upon the
mine because the provisions of
the lien law do not apply to leas-
ed property. The law only ap-
plies where the owners are work
ing the property. And in that
case the mine could be held for
debt even if there was no lien
law. If the property was valuable
the owners would pay the debts
rather than lose the property and
a lien upon worthless piece of
property is without value.
So far as the miners are con-
cerned the Colorado lien law is a
farce. In cases where the law ap-
plies it usually is not needed and
in cases where the law would
give protection it does not apply.
