JUST FOLKS
THE GIFT OF MEMORY.
Copyright. 1920. by Edgar A. Guest.

or all the gifts which God has given to warm
and cheer the soul of man,
The gift of memory is supreme. the browning
jewel in His plan;
Without it all that's good would fade and love
would have tenderness
There'd be no keepsakes for the past no little
shoes faded dress.
without the gift of memory to conjure up by
gone delights,
The hours would lonely be and long, and dull and
dreary all our nights;
The dead would then be truly dead and lost to us
beyond recall
And every JOY which we have claimed would
vanish when the shadows fall.
Friends would be ours for just day, their gifts
would never treasured be,
We could not read the splendid past without the
book of memory;
And every deed of greatness here which makes
the world better place,
Could not endure to thrill and rouse the children
of future race.
Here is the treasure house of man where all the
joys of life he keeps.
Gods precious gift of comfort for the lonely
mother when she weeps
His inspiration for the brave--His pledge divine
which MAKES II sure at9.'-stt seq
That love Is anfmmortal JOY and all that's good
Z shall % endure.

Sunday. July 25.

DuiuoJs Ouiy -bs
Mercury and Venus rule strongly
for good this day, according to as
trology.
The mind should be light and
buoyant, while the configuration
prevails. 1t is a most suspicious
time for meeting of new friends.
All the gregarious instincts of
humanity may be very active at
this time, making for crowds that
seek amusements.-
Theaters and all places of enter
tainment are we'll directed by
planetary sway. Hotels should
profit, but they are warned that
before the snow flies they may no
tice a falling off of receipts.
Some sort of a mysterious furry
in American financial affairs APP
pears likely and a plot disguised
in philanthropic movement Is
foretold.
Love letters should be extraor-
dinarily lucky this day for the
stars give to Wooers convincing
power and to women an unsual
charm. .. --
Religious excitement and the
widespread discussion of creeds are
foretold
Education and its connection
with church and state will be much
ventilated in the public prints.
Astrologer foretold during the
war an advance in knowledge. of
how to use psychic gifts, but they
declare now that the worlds reac-
ton to materialism delays progress
in occult science.
There is a prediction that the
teeth as well as the organs of di-
gestion may cause much diScom-
fort during this aspect.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of an active and
year. Changes may not
be lucky.
Children born on this day may
be restless and disconnected, but
these subjects of Leo usually have
extreme good luck all through life.

to see if any adventures were grow

to hear some one call. g... 49,.

Wait for mel"
The bunny rabbit twinkled his
pink ears and was looking for a
place to hide his long nose, when
he happened to think like this:
NOW that can't be the Pipsise-
wah or the Skeezicks or they would
have said, right off, that they were
coming for souse. This must be a
friend of mine.
So Uncle Wiggily looked through
the trees and there he saw Baby
Bunty, the little rabbit girl who
had once lived in hollow stump.
Wait for me, Uncle Wigsily!

New Mexico's Produce Center.


Las Cruces Republic: Crombie
and company started packing pears
at Vinton Monday, the fruit going
to eastern markets.
The total of cantaloupe car ship
ments from Las Cruces this season
is expected to reach the comfort
able total of 1900 cars. An icing
platform two city blocks long has
been completed for icing the cars:
the railroad company has made
large additions to side trackage
space for refrigerator cars.
w. T. Scoggin, the largest indi-
vidual grower of pink meat canta-
loupes in the Mesilla valley, and
the recognized authority on the
production Of that fruit, has over
lao acres this season, all in splen-
did condition, to come off the first
week in August. Mr.. Scoggin also
has gone largely into the sweet po-
tato cultivation, of which vegetable
he has over 100 acres, which he
will cure and ship Independently.
He is building drying kiln on his
ranch. 81
To date twenty-seven cars d
cabbage have been shipped out OF
Las Cruces, Mesilla Park and Dona
Ana this season. There will be a
few more, but the bulk Of the crop
has been shipped. Several trucks
have been continuously on the road
hauling cabbage to FL Paso.
Ninety dollars a ton has been
reached for a good part of the
crop. ,-....... "a
One farmer, living just inside the
city limits of Las Cruces, whose
name we have been asked to with
hold for the present, had four
acres of cabbage, and his net profit
will reach the nice sum of $500
per acre. A neighbor had about
two acres of good cabbage, on
which he realized fifteen tons.
Some $50 acres have already
been signed up by the firm of
Steinhart & Kelly for a winter crop
of spinach, to come off during the
holidays. 81
The representative of another
concern, working in the. valley
around Anthony, has signed up
close to 500 acres for winter spin
ach, and is not yet satisfied with

"Off the rubber plant" was the
ouick answer of Mr., Longears.

nice strip of hat elastic off the
rubber plant and with a needle and
thread he began to sew 1t on BABY
Buntv's hat so it wouldn't blow off
when she ran or played tag,
"There, have just thread
enough" said Uncle Wiggily, as he
took the last piece off the spool.
