The plan Of limiting campaign contributions to 900,
adopted by national organization has left your
party unmortgaged.
1t has been most advanced step placing business of
politics the highest plane and has brought inter-
the of thousands who before have been
concerned with politics
weeks before election apparent that the
provided for in our budget with the strictest
economy, would exceed the contributions, but we were
unwilling either to leave undone any legitimate effort
essential to complete success to change the method
of raising money. We were then and

hold special Thanksgiving service Of
that kind.
Thanksgiving meals were things to
remember. Those were the good old
days when doughnuts were made as
big as bricks, and twas not thought
necessary to eat as many as six, but
the doughnut came between meals,
and on Thanksgiving day they were
not greatly in demand.
For breakfast we always had
chicken with many 'fxins' and pam
cakes and sweet cider for dessert. 1t
was a meal for all day, but not long
after noon we all gathered for the
feast. and it was small family that
did not muster at least twenty strong.
We all went home to grandpa's, the
last one of us. Commonly every living
member of four generations would be
together for that day, no matter hoy
scattered their homes might be.
after dinner there'd be enough out
door sport to raise an appetite for six
O'Clock supper. and after supper in
door games among the young people
till bedtime, but even the oldest were
dragged into the games until they were
tired out.
There may be families that keep
up the old customs even yet, but |
wouldn't know where to look for them.
Even If did, l don't suppose I'd be
able to get any of the mince and pump
kin pies. And if / should get any of
them they wouldn't be such as grand
ma used to make"

NEW ELEVATORS BEING
BUILT IN PANHANDLE

fsneciaI Correspondence 10 The J0urnai.)
Plainview, Tex, Aug. 10.-North-
west Texas has developed its grain
production so rapidly that the
building of elevators has not been
able to keep pace with increase in
wheat and other grains. Many new
elevators have been built this year.
The Harvest Queen mill is adding
a large elevator that is about ready
for business. This will give Plain
view an elevator capacity of 300,-
200 bushels. But this is far from
sufficient to take care Of the wheat
alone. At Amarillo a new 100000
bushel elevator is nearly completed.
This will give Amarillo a storage
capacity Of nearly one million bush
els.
The wheat crop throughout this
section is very heavy. Kafir, milo,
Indian corn and other forage grains
are coming on very well and the
production will Re heavy. Much OF
the forage grains are used at home
in the feedlots, but there will also
be much surplus grain that will go
TO market this fall. 1t is estimated
that in Santa Fe railway territory
fully 5000 cars of last years crop
is still on hand and that the new
wheat crop will require around
5000 cars to move. The grain pro-
duction in northwest Texas has de-
veloped within the last ten years
in a territory that no one consid-
cred seriously as adapted to agri-
culture.

HOW SYSTEM WINS IN POLITICS.

One powerful way now to organize political
campaign is to appoint committees who shall hold
rallies secure newspaper publicity, and educate the
public by information and public discussion But n
great deal of work of another kind is go! under
the surface, which the people VINO desire good gov
eminent cannot ignore. They must meet it with a
similar organization Of their own.
A great many votes are "hand- picked" the re-
suit of individual influence. Every person who takes
on interest in politics is center of political nflu-
ence among his friends The successful politician
carries in his mind long list of people who are
such centers of influence
He spends a lot of time cultlvating their ac-
quaintance and enlistng their support Men of SIM
liar purposes are drawn together and form what is
called rings machines When they can't
agree they split and form hostile factions The
ramfIcations of these structures of influence are
very extensive and control great number of votes.
The trouble with many campaigns for good gov
eminent has been that they failed to reckon on the
power Of this unseen system. They thought if they
had good rallies ana newspaper support they had
the thing dead. Yet all the while the sub-surface
system beating them with its silent efficiency.
People who desire the best government must do
much personal individual work, in order to rally
sympathizers and get indoent and Indifferent peo-
pie to vote at primaries conventions that select
candidates. Then the same energy must be used to
induce voting election day.

AMERICA, NOT EUROPE, NEEDS PRESIDENT

WAY down in Tennessee there are people who
desire president to what is under his nose and
not to keep his eyes across the when home in
terests calling for attention. There is a news
paper at Jellico named Garry on" and it urges the
importance of carrying at home. Probably the edi
tor is one who service abroad and is for America
over ALL In an editorial under the heading THE
Next President" "Carry-On' says:
Some of us have about come to the place
where don't care rap whether the man is
n democrat, republican, on the fence But
there other things he must be. We would
like a who devote little attention
to the affairs of Uncle Sam and less to Corsica
and the Isle of Man. We want a plain old
fashioned Americana not a dreamer
theorist or an international star gazer."
To voters in the class who do not a rap as
to which party man belongs to- but demand that
he shall forget Europe when America needs first
aid. Wilson would have been unacceptable
Since Wilson and Cox have personally announced
that they are in absolute accord. there is cand-
date except Harding who is dependable enough for
the Jeico writer and his kind, whatever may be
the politics of that journal.
Harding is not a dreamer, theorist or star
gazer. He is old fashioned American. the dem
ocratic papers say, and Harding is willing to let it
go at that.

Judge j. w. Wilson and other friends Mr.. Hughes
came to our office and asked support. We re,
counted his business and personal entanglemens
with the big mining interests and told him if he
could find a way untangle his feet from this mesh
of intrigue and would step out program of state
progress upon terms which would permit him to be
governor in his own right, we would support him.
This was prior TO Governor Larrazolo's announce
ment of his avowed candidacy. Mr.. Hughes shrugged
his shoulders and left the office.
The public may take its. choice of these state
ments.
Mr. Hughes statement shows his opposition to
the primary, tax mne.revsion, school land super
vision and budget system.
Either version disproves the statement that per-
sonal or professional Jealousy accounts for our OPP
position to Mr. Hughes ambition.

Out near the links where go to play u
My favorite game from day to day.
There's a friend of mine that I've never met
Walked with or broken bread with, yet
I've talked to him oft and he's talked to me
Whenever I've been where he's CHANGED to be;
He's a CHEEKY old chap who keeps out of sight,
gay little fellow whose names Bob White.
Bob White! Bob White. can hear him sail
As follow the trail to my little ball
Bob White! Bob White with a note of cheer
That was just designed for a mortal ear;
Then l drift far off from the world of men Z,
An stand an answer him back right then,
An whistle away to each other there,
Glad of the life which is ours to share.
Bob White! Bob white! May you live to be
The head of numerous family!
May you boldly call to your friends out here
With never an enemy's gun to fear
Pm better man | pass along
For your CHEEKY call and your bit of song,
May your food be plenty and skies be bright
To the end Of your days, good friend, Bob White

No persn is compleet without
legs, and neither is eny table or
chair, the name difference being
that peoples legs bend in the mid
die, thus making the knee more
useful. On the other hand il the
legs of tables and chairs. bent in
the middle, nobody would be sat-
isfied exsept the people that Ike
to see axsidents. This proves ev-
erything is all rite in its place.
Legs vary according to whose
they are. A flys leg looks all rite
on a fly, but if you put it on a
elefunt, nobody would ever notice
II not even the elefunt.
Peoples height depends chiefly
on their legs. Wen you see a tall
man setting down he don't look eny
higher than enybody eits, but as
soon as he stands up his legs be-
come responsible for almost twice
as mulch. on the other hand wen
a little short man stands up nobody
is in the leest serprized.s
The werst kind of legs to have
is either bow legs or mock knee
legs. If you had to have either
one kind or the other it would be
a matter of taist, altho bow legs
are proberly the Werst on account
of being saw the farthest away.
A old proverb says that a bow
legged man cant stop a pig up a
alley, but it proberly wouldent be
mutch satisfaction to him even Il
he could.
Your legs separate you frum
your feet and vice virtue.

Santa Fe New .faHcln. is just
possible that II g. Eas- * may
prove to have b G ~ slast week
of the republican lA.ty in New
Mexico.
In that case it is a duty TO his
tory to see that the record is kept
straight and responsibility placed
where it belongs.
Because the governor has refused
to surrender or compromise his
principles, the legend is being eri-
culated that he is sacrificing party
success 10 his personal ambitions.
If any one in this state is pursu-
ing his personal ambitions at the
expense of party harmony and the
welfare of the people, that man is
not ,Octaviano A, Larrazolo.
The governor is able to defend
himself without assistance from
the New Mexican. We shall not
attempt to anticipate what he has
to say. In this matter. as always,
the New Mexican is simply express
ing its own views.
Governor Larrazolo became an
active candidate for denomination
at the urging, not only of his per-
sonal friends but of impartial men
who wished to promote set of
progressive ideas to which the gov
ernor committed himself. He came
out in the open with straight
forward. manly statement, which,
up to the present time, no oppon-
ent has had the courage to refute.
He made this statement not to any
clique or bosses, but to the people
OF New Mexico.
Until last Saturday the opposi-
ton was scattered. 1t could have
put up only a feeble resistance in
the state convention. The governor
and his program would have been
Overwhelmingly endorsed by the
convention and by the people IN
November.
The situation is different today.
A few individuals have met in Sc
cret in this city. They are willing
to ieopardize republican success TO
keep themselves in the saddle.
They have decided at all costs to
throttle the governors program
and annihilate the man who ad-
yanced it. To this end they have
employed every art known to the
politician. Promises and threats

DANDRUFF SOON
RUINS THE HAIR

Girls-if you want plenty of
thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair,
do by all means get rid Of dandruff,
for it will starve your hair and ruin
1t If you don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try
to brush or wash il out. The only
sure way to get rid of dandruff is
to dissolve it, then you destroy 1t
entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces Of ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring;
use enough to moisten the scalp
snd rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
BY morning. most IL not all. of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely
destroy every single sign and trace
of 1t.
You will find, too. that all Itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop, and your hair will look and
feel hundred times better You
can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive and four
ounces is all you will need. no mat
ter how much dandruff you have.
This simple remedy never fails.

WHAT ELSE CAN BE DONE?

Governor Larrazolo is the only candidate for gov
who has announced program of state bet
terments
All other candidates are resorting to intrigue and
manipulation to win the coveted honor.
None will say where he stands upon questions of
moment to the state
None has dared to openly oppose our program
his signature all being fearful Of public senti
ment.
They seek by stealth and cunning to defeat the
peoples reforms.
What forward looking men do at this time
but lend every support to Governor Larrazoo, re-
gardless of minor objections?
If people will the bigness of the main issue
they will the ttleness of the objections urged.

would be a pity to get your new
hat welt"
So they said good-by and Uncle
Wiggily and Nurse Jane hoped
on. But alas, They had not gone
very far before, all of a sudden, it
began to sprinkle down rain drops.
, "Oh, my lovely hat!' cried Nurse
Jane. What shall | do?"
\ Lets get under a tree" sug-
gested Uncle Wiggily. But the rain
drops came through the leaves.
"Oh, my hat will all be spoiled"
cried Nurse Jane, trying to hide
il under her skirt. "Oh, if We
only had an umbrella"
"EIa! / think / can make onev'
said Uncle Wiggily. !
How" asked the muskrat lady.
We'll, / have some paper here, y
went ON the bunny. And i also
have some butter. I'll grease a
piece of paper as the grocery cat
did, so the water won't come
through, and I'll fasten the creased
paper on my red, white and blue
striped rheumatism crutch for an
umbrella. That will keep off the
rain
So Uncle Wiggily creased some
paper with n lump of butter. Then
he fastened some sticks on his
crutch, like umbrella ribs, and he
put the paper on top of them. Then
he held this over Nurse James
head, and no rain came through
the creased paper, which was like
ducks feathers. So the bunny
took the smuskrat lady back to the
bungalow and her new hat didn't
get wet at all. And wasn't the
rabbit uncle smart? think so.
And If the automobile doesn't jump
out of the garage window in the
night, to run away and play with
che pony cart, I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggily and Susie's
hoop.
