La Bandera Americana Boosts.

La Bandefa Americana Boosts.
La Bandera Americana, the lead
ing language paper of this section
says editorially:
The time of progress cannot be
withheld. The world moves on and
the interests of the classes have to
move forward. Production is the
first necessity of the day. The
work of the laborers is well paid
nowadays, and there is a necessity
to augment the product for the
general welfare and personal benz
eft.
"One of the greatest and most
imperative necessities in the Rio
Grande valley from Algodones, in
SandoVal county, to the boundaries
in Dona Ana county, on the south,
is the drainage OF the swamped
lands, the drainage OF cultivable
lands. The bed of the river is in q
level with the earth in the whole
valley; it gets so low that it is a
menace to the ordinary production
and half or more of the lands pro-
duce nothing, except taxes, and it
is for the benefit and richness of
the landowners that these lands
be drained, putting them in the
highest grade of cultivation and
giving them q monetary value of
three times their worth at the pres
emit time; and by doing this there
will be permanent wealth for it's
owners. This disbursement is made
only once, with easy payments, and
the benefit is for all time to come,
The heredity of your children will
be of some worth, of production, of
wealth and not of debts and taxes.
Put your shoulder to the drain
age proposition as soon as possible,
is your duty, for the sole benefit of
each landowner affected by
sWampy land and alkali.
In a meeting held by.renowned
citizens and landowners of Albu-
querque and the neighboring pre-
cincts last week. it was discussed
in a complete manner and they
came TO the conclusion that the
first necessity of Bernalillo county
is the scientific drainage of the
lands, under the modern methods
used in other parts of the country,
that has enriched them having the
proper conditions for the enter
prise.
The meeting was held in Frank
Hubbell's office, there being pres
ent Mr.. French, the engineer, and
several landowners of the valley.
1t was agreed to make preliminary
surveys, prepare the plans and sub
nit them in an Understandable
manner to the people, so that all
Will understand it and see the ben
efits to be derived therefrom.
1T was unanimously agreed to
invite Mr., Frank Hubbell TO lend
his name as president of the drain
age committee. and said gentleman
and big landholder in the valley
has consented to act as president.
las soon as the arrangements
are made the campaign will begin
for the organization of drainage in

for retaining them on the payroll is mystery. The
number employed should be getting close to
the prewar total thus releasing many who might
go into some productive business and cut down the

Another way TO money would be to put the

Famous Quotations
And T h cir Origin
Many smau Mako a Great.


This principle, upon which the
modern savings bank Is founded,
and through the observance of
which millions have risen from
poverty TO prosperity, was first
enunciated in literature by the
Greek poet Hesiod, who flourished
about 720 r. c. Hesiod's "Theog-
ony" was accepted by the people
of Greece as the first accurate
statement of their religious be-
liefs, although it did not have the
sanction of the priests of HIS time.
I1esiod said; ..~
IF thou shouldst lay up even a
little upon a little and shouldst do
this often, soon would even this
become great"
This recalls rather strongly, the
words of a recent popular song:
Every little bit, added to what
you got, makes just little bit
more"
Godfrey Chaucer, 132S-1400)
the first great English poet, re-
fers to the saying as a proverb.
He says: 1.-THE proverb saith that
many a small maketh a great"
John Haywood, In his book of
English proverbs, published in
1865, says: MANY small make a
great"
Benjamin Franklin, American
statesman and philosopher, says
in Poor Richards Almanac" "A
pin a days a great a year"
w. Lowndes, in three reigns Sec
rotary of the treasury of Great
Britain, said: Take care of the
pence, for the pounds will take
care of themselves"
William Somerville, English j
1870 said: "A penny saved's u

The History
Of Your Name
ALLEN.
Ailwyn.
Racial Oriein-Seottish.
Source-A clan.

AS family name, Allen and its
variations are the outgrowth of The
elan organization of Scotland, and
IKE most names of the Scottish
and Irish divisions of the Celtic
race, can so be traced back to a
single individual. This, of course
IS no infallible guarantee of blood
however, for in both ancient Scot
land and ancient Ireland it was GUS
lofnary for outsiders who became
followers of the chief and were
adopted into the clan to take the
clan name.
There are many branches of the
Allen line today, but virtually all
of them trace back to Alan a count
OF Brittany, who crossed to Eng
land with William the Conqueror
and obtained grants of land in Scot
lana. 1t was descendant of this
Alan also who founded the Stuart
line, which later became the royal
family of Great Britain.
AS given name the origin oil
Alan is lost in obscurity, Il mavl
have been taken over from thsf
classical languages before Christ.
Theoretical attempts have beens
made to trace it back to the myth
1oal Greek poet Glen, credited in
the classical legends with having
been the first to write hymns inl
heXameter. 1t is certain that it was5
in use among the Celts Of northernE
Europe, in the forms of A1awn,
ALVIN and Ailwyn before the Ro-I
man empire extended its way tol
those parts, for it was taken into
the Latin,in the form Elan.
But there is no indication that
it developed into a family name In
any other land than Scotland,
z Tomorrow-Sims. ....

IS headed Financial Madness"
Lord Rothermere warns his countrymen
that Great Britain, like the rest of Europe is
afflicted with financial dementia. So is this
country,
1t is financial madness for the United
States government to be spending money
spending it seventeen months after the war
at the rate of more than seven billions of
dollars year. 1T is financial madness for the
United States government to be piling UP a
deficit at the rate of between three and four
billions Of dollars year 1t is financial mad
ness for the United States government, when
it is pouring three-quarters of a billion of dol
lars into railroad losses, nearly half billion
of dollars into shipping board expenditures,
and two-thirds of a billion of dollars into in
terest on the public debt. to propose to pile on
top of such prodigiOus OUTLAWS and deficits bill
lions more of indiscriminate bonus dstribu-
tons and other drains of the national trasure.
1t is financial madness for American indus
tries, when they are facing interminable taxes
of stupendous volume when men will not
work and capital will not flow to be borrow
ing billions of dollars to put into new con-
struction, reconstruction, extensions and i'm
provements at prohibltive costs of interest,
prohibitive costs OF labor.
1t is financial madness for the American
people, when they facing high taxes,
facing nordinate living costs facing a des- =
perate struggle to make both ends meet, to
be spending money like men delirious on all
sorts of non essentials, pleasure, indulgence
and foes
When the only way to decrease prices of
commodities is to increase production and the
only way TO have money enough to do the ma
tons legitimate work is to stop prodigal
waste it is financial madness and it is eco
nomic madness for hundreds of thousands of
workers to be necessarily off their jobs
strikes but for all the public to go on spend
ing none the less wildly
The United States government must check
its mad spending and pay up its billions of
], o. US. The American people must cut off
every penny of waste that can be trimmed
from their careless, reckless spendings and
get down to hard work. If the United States
government and the American people both to-
gether don't slap on the brakes, then, with all
the riches nature has bestowed upon this
country with all the opulence there is for its
sons TO gain by energy, industry and thrift,
shall go careening through financial
squander and economic profligacy into dsas-
ter as terrific and lasting fell upon Europe
through wars carnage and destruction.

BOY, PAGE THE ASSESSOR.

The county assessor appears to he lost. At least
those having business with his office rarely find
him in. Often they come many miles on business
with him only to return disappointed. He has a
key for his office door and appears to use it with
great regularity.
The statute does not specifically require that he
maintain an office, but common sense and the needs
of the public of whom he is presumed to serve do
qure it.
He should either attend to the public need or
resign. His defiance of the public need destroys
his usefulness as an Officer.
