GETTING TOGETHER IN BUILDING.

Building projects aggregatng $4,000 900 are
held up as the result of high costs, lack Of avail
able capital and so on. The National Building ana
Construction Congress is taking steps to call
conference of all elements interested in the build
ing trades to be held next January. 1t is proposed
to get everybody together from the architect down
to the hod carrier
Many Interruptions in the worlds work arise
from lack of this spirit of mutual consultation
Much of the trouble in the building trades is
due to Misunderstanding between capital and
labor II the two elements could get together
regularly and often and discuss their relations and
trade conditions frankly, each party would learn
more than it knows and there would be
more chance to unite harmonious working
policy.
The country is suffering for lack of building.
and it will look forward hopefully to the results
Of this conference. - 49,.

DISHONEST METHODS.

r'he dishonest methods of the State Republican
Publicity Bureau and its local organ are well illus
trated in recent editorial in Thea organ entitled,
"$5, 500 900 short?"
Notice the title second time and see the in
terrogation point. We had asserted that the total
investment of outside capital in the Chino Copper
company was $1,75O,OOO The above editorial is
intended to convey the impression that the total
investment was So, 500 600 more than we had al
legged
But this sheet does not say so. 1t merely at
tempts to lead the reader to think it says so.
The writer of that editorial tells the reader that
he wired the office of Mr. Suy, the general man
ager of Chino asking if statement was true
How simple it would have been for Chino tG-an-
swer mo, the amount invested is so much" But
the facts would not permit. Of such an answer
So the adroit but dishonest editorial writer tells
you; We have secured information which leads
rs t9vbs1eve that the Journal has INDUCED in a
shortage. The shortage. appears to be
somewhere in the immediate neghborhood of
$500, 000." ~.
The writer of that editorial could get the ex-
act information he sought and doubtless did get it,
But he could not it it against his in
terest. The total issued capital stock of Chino is
less than $4,000 600
We did not publish statement without in
vestfgaton responsible information" We have it,
We assert again that $1.75OO0 is the total
amount of the outside capital invested in Chino.
The balance of some $475O.JO0 of capital pro-
cured out OF earnings by declaring stock divi-
dend pro to the holders of the original stock,
without any payment by them
This $1,75O,OOO of stock has received dividends
in less than years of $4,000 900. The stock
pays from $50 per cent to 400 per cent per annum
in dividends upon the original investment. 1t
would be paying 900 per cent right now except for
the federal excess profits tax. But they can not
pay their just share of state taxes without being
wrecked" according to the leaders of the repub-
ncan campaign, who busy engaged in de-
Tending them.
VIII the local sheet please tell U.s. in verbatim
language the telegram it received from Chino in
answer to its question? Please do that in time for
US to prove position before election.

sponsibiiity in making statements

UNCLE WIGGILY IN THE
LEAVES.

Something really must be done
about it," said Nurse Jane Fuzzy
Wuzzy, the muskrat lady house
keeper as she stood on the porch of
the hollow stump bungalow one
day. 1T looks as if no one lived
here"
What is the matter, jamie %
asked Uncle Wiggily, as he came
out on the porch. What looks as
if no one lived here?"
"The dried leaves from the trees,
scattered all over in front of our
bungalow" answered the muskrat
lady. Jack Frost nipped the leaves
off with his cold fingers. Then they
fell, and the wind blew them. Now
there are so many around the
porch, and scattered over the path.
that any one passing would say we
had moved for the coming winter
"Oh, if it is only leaves that are
bothering you I'll soon fix that,
said Uncle Wiggily. "Pll rake the
dried leaves up in a heap, Nurse
Jane and burn them" ~

Astrologers read this as an I'M
certain day, in which to. use care
in all important matters. The
planets are changeable in their in
fluence. Uranus in malefic aspect
turns to friendly power, and the
Sun, adverse in the early hours,
becomes strongly benefic later. In
the evening Mars rules with kind
ly effect.
During this government of the
stars the human mind may be
disturbed, the reasoning Faculties
confused and the energies de-
pleted.
1t is we'll to postpone important
initiative, whether II be social or
commercial.
The forces will be perplexing
where politics are concerned, ana
candidates may suffer from con-
ditions that can not be controlled.
Surprises of many sorts are pro-
phesied as a result of the election
In certain states women Will reg.
lister unforeseen independence OF
party control.
The evening should be favorable
TO all sorts of constructive actiVlr
ties. it is helpful to executives OF
every sort making for organization
and efficiency.
The total eclipse of the moon
on this date falling in the first
ocean of Taurus forecasts diseases
among cattle. The death rate
among men may be high. The
eclipse is read as foreshadowlng
more earthquakes and unusual
demonstrations of nature
This eclipse of the Moon, FOL
lowed by the partial eclipse OF the
Sun on November 10, is declared
by English astrologers to be most
sinister for Great Britain and It's
ruler, the king coming under par
ticularly menacing influences.
The winter may be severe, the
cold weather coming rather late
and lasting a long time. In inns
connection Saturn's adverse as
pect is not reassuring, for 1t pre-
sages trouble in the coal mines.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is
are admonished to hold their
money carefully, as they have the
augury of changes and removals
An unsettled year that may bring

In one Of its daily attacks Frank Hubbell
local newspaper seeking to shield certain pri
waite interests from the just wrath of the OPP
pressed people of New Mexico, said recently:
The democratic state platform pledges
Hanna and democratic legislative candidates
to abolish the state highway commission and
RETURN ALL ROAD BUILDING AND
ROAD FUND MANAGEMENT TO THE
COUNTIES. This means a return to the pre-
cinct road-boss appointed by the county boss
through the county commission.
you would have HubbeL as your county
boss
You would have Hubbelrs two dummy
commissioners holding the entire authority
over all county business, including county
appointments. Hubbell would submit a list
Of henchmen precinct road bosses and his
dummy commissioners would appoint them.
Your road taxes would go on. But your road
construction would stop"
This was clearly misquotaton of the demo-
cratic platforms which readily available to
the editor of the newspaper in question.
The democratic platforms plank on public
highways reads follows: -.F
-,- 'EITBLIC HIGHWAYS.
Believing that the taxpayers of New Mex
leo are entitled to the utmost return for their
monies expended for roads and that any pro-
gram of road construction should be sup
ported by adequate maintenance provisions,
we favor the repeal of the laws creating and
maintaining the State Road board with its
inadequate and cumbersome system of So
called road construction under which the
funds appropriated for such purposes are
dissipated and exhausted in salaries and over
head expenses with little profit to the
highways of the state; AND WE FAVOR THE
SUBSTITUTION THEREFOR OF STATUTES
CREATING A STATE HIGHWAY COMMITS
SION HAVING DIRECT SUPERVISION OF
ALI, HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION AND
MAINTENANCE ANDs CONSTRUCTION UN-
DER AN EFFECTIVE AND CoMPREHEN-
sIvE BUDGET SYSTEM WHICH WILL IN
SURE GOOD ROADS AT FAIR AND
REASONABLE EXPENSE"
This is but a specimen of the methods that the
bosses are using to perpetuate themselves IN
power in this state.

So Uncle Wiggily brought out his
rake and broom, and began to
gather up the dried leaves. There

The muskrat lady mixed up

pudding-and she put it in the
oven to bake.
A little later Uncle Wiggily, who
stood knee deep in the leaves he
was raking, saw his muskrat lady

porch and set something down on
the step.

take little rest, because he was
working so hard in the leaves, he
went up to the porch, and gentle
put his paw on the edge of the
custard pudding dish.

to his paw. Very sticky indeed

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE

Chicago, Oct. 26.-Big upward
swings in the price of wheat took
place today accompanied by signs
OF concerted stoppage of rural
selling and by increased export de-
mand. The market closed strong,
9Rc to 1QAc net higher, Decem'-
Der $2.091s to $2.o9% and March
$2.021s to $2.02&. Corn gained
1ac to 2'h c and oats NC to "
to INC. In provisions the out
come varied from 25c decline to
rise of $40. .
Wheat began to ascend in prices
as soon as the market opened. but
it was not until near the end of the
day that evidence of unusual mo-
mentum appeared. Then houses
that have been conspicuous of late
on the selling side reversed their
position and covered on a broad
scale. Gossip spread meanwhile
that country offerings were being
confined largely to elevator sources
and that farmers were letting go
of but comparatively little Of their
hogs. At the same time, estimates
of export business done today
mounted rapidly. totals ranging
from 1,250.000 bushels to 100000
bushels.
Independent strength was given
to corn and oats by announcement
of heavy export buying of corn
100000 bushels for Belgium. $780,
600 bushels for Germany and five
loads for Holland.
. Higher quotations on hogs gave
a decided lift to active deliveries of
provisions.
Closing prices:
Wheat-Dec., s2.0ah; March,
S2.021a. ....
Corn-Dec., S2Ac; May. SS&c,
Oats-Dec., 54%c; May. 59%c.

About Those Ballots.

| .. OClODeT ~ I'GV'
Editor Morning Journal:
Dear Sir:-I am in possession of
a sample ballot circulated by your
party, the democratic party, which
purports to be a sample ballot and
gives instructions to guide the voter
in marking his ballot on election
day. This sample ballot reads:
SAMPLE BALLOT.
Instructions: - First mark a
cross (X) in the circle under the
democratic party emblem.
eff you then desireeto vote for any
candidate on an other ticket, place
cross (x) in the square at the
right of the name of such candi-
date. But first mark the cross in
the circle under the democratic
emblem"
The form of Instructions on the
ballots, as required by law, is as
!! follows:
FORM OF BALLOT.
Instructions:-Mar cross (X)
in circle under party name, for
whose candidate you wish to vote.
"If GU desire to vote for any can
didate of any other party place
cross (X) in square at the right
of the name of such candidate"
t There is a penalty prescribed by
hw for anyone who shall cause to
be printed any ballot or ticket cal
culated to deceive or mislead the
voter. OF course those causing this
ticket to be printed left off their
name and even the name OF the
shop in which the sample ballot
was printed, and conviction can
| not be secured for the reason that
those authorizing the printing OF 1t
cannot be ascertaned; and even If
a, conviction could be had, no PEN
atty would compensate for the
damage under these misleading IN
structions. ....
In spirit of fairness, will you be
kind enough to explain to the pup
lie in general, that the sample bal
lot circulated by the democratic
party and quoted above, is not a
true statement of the instructions
that should be placed upon the
ballot, and take such other steps as
in your Judgment are necessary to
undo the evil that has been done
by the circulation of these instruc-
tions, which are evidently calcu-
lated to mislead the voter?

have evolved the following: Have
class meeting before the affair
and ask the boys if every one of
them will call at the home of one
of the girls to escort her 10 the
place where the party is held /;
make the boys say right there
which girl they will escort, 50 as
to make sure that no girl will have
two boys can at her home ard
some other girl win have no es~
cort Then have q private meet
ing with the girls alone and plan
that every girl will change places
with some other girl-that is, Will
start from the home of some 9TH
er girl-so that when the boys go
to the home of the girl they were
to escort, they will take quite an
other girl, masked, and will not
know that they have taken any
but the girl they meant 10 take
until the time for unmasking
comes OF course there must be no
talking when the boy comes to
the girls house, or he might be
able to tell from the voice that

the right girl. Take care also
that the girls who change places
are about the same height and
general build. You will find that
rthis little mixup will make no end

Bride-Reader; "a friend of mine,
in moving, gave me ten boxes of

What is it good for?"
Answer: Borax is useful in soft
ening water, removing dirt, whit
ening clothes, as a stiffening agent
and in the removal of stains. 1t is
a fine cleansing agent, as it is not
harmful to materials, colors, or
the hands. Just try using it. You
will find it quite indispensable in
the future.
