PURPOSE IN SELF-TORTURE
People Of Northern New Mexico Have
High Object in lnflicton Of
Bodily Punishment.

passion play takes place yearly
In the Ration and Sandia mountains
of northern New Mexico. A group Of
people living In this district have for
centuries each Lenten season gone
through a series Of self-inf1icted bodily
fortunes, enduring their agonies In the
belief that these barbarities will alb
solve them from past and future sins
The passion play Is said to be so saw
agely realistic that at times perform
ers have died as result Of injuries
received while taking part in it.
These people are known as Los
Hermanon Penitentes, or the Peni-
tent brotherhood. The Penitentes are
of Mexican origin, with a marked
strain of Indian blood. They are dense
ly ignorant, not many being able to
read Spanish. and only a very few are
familiar with English. Hardly one in
ten has ever been a hundred miles
away from the isolated mountain set
Elements whore they make their homes
They keep small flOcks of cattle and
sheep and sometimes mine for gold
and silver. They live in mud and
crude stone houses, as did their ances
tors two and three hundred years ago

then 15 per cent in 1917; then %
per cent, by Mr.. McAdoo's order, in
1915 and now an advance varying
from % per cent for the southern
and mountain-Pacific groups to 40
per cent for the eastern group, and
averaging, according to an estimate
made by the Bureau of Railway Ec-
onomics, 34.58 per cent for the
whole country.
Stated in another way, this
means that for every dollar paid to
the railroads for freight in 1914 we
must now pay two dollars or more
Now it is just as certain as fate it,
self that every increase in cost of
transportation increases both the
cost Of living and of doing business
and decreases the territory in which
our products, whether of farm or
factory, can be sold But the most
vital question today is not whether
We shall pay one price or another
for the transportation of our goods,
but whether we can get them car

make a constantly increasing use
The tonnage Of goods transported on
the waterways of Germany in 1905
was five times as much as was car

a coincidence that, in every one of

Chicago is more than twice as
far from New York as it was six
years ago. More than that-every
place in the United States is now
about twice as far from every other
place as it was in 1914"
These rather startling assertions
are made by Secretary Thompson of
the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress in statement just re-
leased. The statement goes on to
say:
OF course, the number of miles
between New York and Chicago. or
any other two places that might be

TREASURE OF PIRATE GOLD
Remarkable Collection That Is Dis
played In Museum of the Univer.
slty of Pennsylvania.

The largest collection of the gold
work of the Aztecs, the Incas ana
other ancient Central American gold
workers, whose civilization was de-
stroyed by the buccaneers seeking the
metal, Is on permanent display at the
museum of the University of Pennsyl-
vania. The collection contains $4,000
600 worth of pirate gold, some of
which has never been melted down be-
cause of Its exquisite workmanship.
Part of the ancient collection had
been buried In the mountains of Co
lombia by the Indians TO save the
treasure from invaders. This part was
purchased by the museum of the Unit
versity Of Pennsylvania just after it
had been brought to New York by it's
discoveries. The other part Is com.
posed of heirlooms handed down to a
French family descended from some
branch of early Spanish royalty, who
got the pieces from shipments sent
home, perhaps by Cortez and his fol
lowers The latter part was picked
up in Paris recently by DIR. George
Byron Gorton, director of the univer-
sity museum.
The Colombian part of the collec-
ton contains nearly 100 pieces, from
breast-plates to bells, bracelets, Cir
dies, earrings and even golden sta
pies, and helmet of pure gold. The
Paris collection of "a pieces contains
two pure gold idols nine inches high
and three inches wide at the shoul-
ders. The Incas collection also con-
tains a death mask of thin, beaten
gold.

Door Mats Grown In America.

Growing of door mats has been car
ried out for some time in certain
parts of America, the only articles
required being some pieces of old
sacking, or any similar material, and
common grass seed, says Detroit News.
The sacking is cut to the desired size
and shape and then moistened with
water and placed on level soil. Grass
seed is then sOWed rather thickly over
the surface of the sacking, the whole
covered with paper so as to shade 1t
from the strong sun and keep 1t pro-
tected for about q week, at the end
of which time the seed will have germ
mated. The cover is then removed.
Every three or four days the mat is
moved to a fresh position to prevent
the roots fastening themselves to the
soil beneath. After week or ten
days, when the mat has dried and the
grass turned a nice shade of green,
the mat is ready for use. The little
grass plants hold on to the canvas
most tenaciously, even when they are
dead, this being due to the fact that
the root hairs become entangled In
the rough hairs of the sacking and are
extremely difficult to remove.

A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
WHICH SHOULD BE
APPROVED

AT the approaching election the
voters will be called upon to APP
prove or reject an amendment to the
state constitution which provides for
an increase in the annual salaries of
the elective officers of the common
wealth.
The amendment provides for the
following increases: Governor. from
$4,000 to $4,000; lieutenant COVER
nor, from $1,000 to $4,000; secretary
of state, treasurer. auditor, and SUI
perintendent of public instruction,
from $4,000 to $4,000 each; attorney
general from $4,000 to $4,000.
The amendment should be APP
proved. The present salaries are
not commensurate with the ability
required of and the responsibilities
assumed by the state officials. I'm
der the existing igh-cost-of-living
conditions, they are grossly made
Quate, and virtually prohibit a poor
man from seeking or holding an
elective state office. A person pos
sessing the ability requisite for the
efficient discharge of the duties of
any of these offices could earn far
greater compensation in private
business, than is now paid by the
state. The type of man needed to
supervise the various departments of
the states affairs, is the type Of man
who can always command a good
salary.
The office of governor carries
with it social obligations and a
standard of living, which can not be
met by salary of $4,000. The late
Governor Lister died a much poorer
man than he was when he assumed
office. To be governor, at the pres
ent salary, necessitates a financial
loss; consequently no one, who is
not we'll fixed financially, can afford
to become a candidate for the posi-
ton, unless he counts upon aug
menting his compensation by graft
ing on large or small scale.
The attorney general is often
called upon to match his knowledge
ana wits against the strongest legal
talent that money can emn1ov and
to give advice upon matters of the
greatest importance to the taxpayers
and residents of the state. He
should be lawyer of outstanding
ability and resourcefulness, but that
kind of lawyer are not looking for
or accepting salaries of $4,000 a
year.
successful business men have pro-
nounced it poor economy to entrust
the handling of big transactions to
cheap employees, and it is equally
poor economy for the state to paw in
adequate salaries to the officials
charged with the management of it's
affairs. There is too much at stake
to try to employ high class officials
at low class salaries, and to make it
impossible for any but rich men
to aspire to seek and hold state Of
fices.

being nicely caught in about a foot of

say: "And then they turned all the
ladies into men, and they all helped

Natures Natural Processes.

We are living on globe we call
solid, but In fact it is plastic ard
changeable, with gaseous ocean
above us and a liquid one below It.
From these three factors all organic
life is created, and upon them it de-
ponds for its existence. Vegetable life
derives its life and body from certain
chemical combinations, Induced by the
action of the suns radations AMI
NAL life depends on vegetable
life and also serves other anil
mails as food. All these return to
mother earth and thus pay the debt
they borrowed. From this we learn
that what is death and destruction of
one is life of another. Wherefore

Yours truly.

). 4. FISHER.
THE following statement will
show how the local millers would
fare if they paid s2.42 per bushel for
wheat:
Wholesale price of flour, per
Dbl. ...-.. ...... .....$11.00
rs lbs. by-products ......... 2.34
Total ..............S1 3. "a
AZ bu. wheat a $2.42. ....S1O.S9
Cost of flour and bran sacks
and all overhead expenses
in manufacture ......... 1.75
Total cost of Dbl. of flour. $12.64
Net profit ..........s 10
1T should be recalled that, during
the several years before the begin
ming Of the world war. 10 cents net
profit was considered reasonable for
manufacturing flour. During the
control of the U. S. Food Commits
sion their profits were limited to
13 u cents per barrel. It will be
seen that s2.42 per bushel for wheat
means that an ordinary mill of 300
barrels capacity would make a clear
profit of 1910 per day. In addition
to this, it is the rule TO charge 81 ad-
vance over the local price when the
flour is shipped out of the state. We
think that, in view of the price OF
flour, the Rockland people are get
ting no more than wheat is worth. >

to these boys, and would result In

helping them to secure musical
training. Anyone who has any must
cal instruments will be doing great
