OLD MANOR WILL
Be PRESENTED TO
Earl. DOUGLAS HAIC

London, pee. 22.--The prophecy of
Thomas the Rhymer, who wrote
'Tyde whay ma betyde Haig shall
he Haig of Bemersydc." bids fair TO
be fulfilled. A movement is on foot
here to purchase the Scottish estates
Of Bemersyde together with the his
toric mansion ana present them to
Earl Haig Cwho adopted the designa-
ton of Earl Haig of Bemersyde on
his elevation to the peerage) as a
record of the British peoples admira-
ton for his triumphant leadership of
the British armies during the war
The property IS now owned by Lieut..
Col. A. r. lIaig.
1t was to Bcmersyde where Turner.
the painter, was taken by Sir Walter
Scott the poet for the purpose of
making drawings to illustrate the
scenery of SCOTS poems.
The estates, which include the fa-
nous mansion, have an area of 1906
acres and the market value Is put at
$26S, 600, for which sum it has been
decided to appeal. They have been
owned and occupied by the Haigs con-
for more than seven CEN
turtles.
Bemersyde is situated in the parish
of Mertoun, scotland, in the very cen
ter of a district which for more than
300 years was the battle-ground of
two hostile na,iona tiles as well as the
scene of almost never-ceasing internal
conflict rarnc and dissension
OF the hundreds of forts and cas-
ties which once existed on the Scot
ish side of the border. BemersNde is
the only one that is still inhabited as
a immortal residence and inhabited,
too, by the family that We're its origi-
nal founders, Bemersyde house itself
stands on an elevated rocky bluff
overhanging one of the most beauti-
full reaches of the River Tweed. On
the opposite bank of the river is the
promontory Of Old Melrose, the spot
on which the Saxon disciples of Aidan,
more than l.200 years ago, uplifted
the symbols of Christianity.
Contributions toward the purchase
of the estate are to be accepted by
every bank in England.

NEW MExIco's OUTLOOK.

The Journal printed on the morn
ings of the second and the third of
this month notable contributions by
leading men of this state giving their
views as to the outlook upon the year
1920. Generally the opinions ex-
pressed were optimistic, and the OPP
timism is justified.
The copper mining industry has
suffered severely but the war sup
plies of that metal will soon be ex-
hausted. The demand in Europe is
increasing and we may expect prices
ITO advance so as TO take up the bulk
of the production before the end of
the year. With the labor problems
settled, coal mining should be in a
highly prosperous condition.
The railroads will soon be back in
the hands of the owners and adequate
legislation for their protection doubt
less will be enacted by congress. Not
merely millions must be spent by them
for improvements, but the estimate is
not less than a billion dollars a year
for the next five years That will
mean the employment of vast num-
Der of laborers in different industries.
The wages these laborers will receive
will go largely into the channels of
trade.
Prices of farm products will remain
high Europe will buy all our surplus
wheat and meat supplies and other
food products. The inflow of money
from abroad will be constant and we
will have the high cost of living at
home possibly higher than it is now.
But the mass of Americans will have
the money to pay for everything they
legitimately wish to purchase.
There will be a building boom
throughout New Mexico with the COM
ing of building weather. Rentals will
have to be adjusted to the higher cost
of building materials and labor. This
is just as inevitable as the law of sup
ply and demand.
Every man living in New Mexico
can go ahead with greater confidence
than lie ever was justified in having
IN the past. Good times ara hera now,
and they will continue with US for a
number of years.

PLAN LIKELY TO MAKE
PERSHING PERMANENT
CHIEF OF ARMY STAFF

Washington, Jan. 6,-1ncorporation
of language in the army reorganiza-
ton bill which the senate military
committee members said would
make General Pershing chief Of staff
is under consideration by the commit
tee but Senator Wadsworth said to-
night decision had not been reached

shing alone holds this rank perma-
nently although General March, the
present chief, has similar rank while
assigned to that duty.
Under provision adopted by the
committee, the general of the army
would head board of general officers
to select officers for staff duty.
!, Members of the subcommittee, rep
resentatiVes of the war department.,
national guard and American Legion
and others Interested, discussed the
bill at a conference tonight. Senator
Wadsworth said he hoped to report

For Chapped Hands
Mentha- Soothaline
Try This Lovely Cream for Rough,
Chapped Hands and Skin, IT'S
Wonderful! Costs few Cents.

At this time of the year especi-
ally, we are all apt to be annoyed
with chapped hands. The fact
that the hands are in and out of
water-frst hot and then ex-
tremely cold, so much of the time,
tends to dry out the natural oil of
the skin causing them to become
parched. For this very reason it
is quite necessary that they have
some extra oil supplied them.
The best way to again make the
skin lovely, smooth and beautiful
is by rubbing into it a little
MISUNDERSTANDING each night for
a while. This Notwithstanding
is prepared by the famous DR..
Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y, known by
Thousands of men and women all
over the NoIld. His great repu-
tation and favor is in itself con-
vincing evidence THAI this prepa-
ration is one of considerable merit.
Most any reliable druggist viii
furnish you a large jar of Mentha-
Soothaline at a trifing cost. Due
to the large demand for the prepa-
ration, should your druggist be

LENINE'S POSITION.

The truth as known gives no sup
port to rumors thai Lenine is on the
verge of giving up the present fight
and starting a new campaign of world
wide propaganda in behalf of soviet
ism. Not since he and Trotzky
achieved despotic power have the Boil
shevists been in so good case as they
now are. There are grounds for be-
lieving they viii be recognized by n
number of Russian border states which
are already negotiating with the
Reds" with respect to an exchange
of prisoners.
If Denekine and Kolchak are not
actually on the run, they are making
no progress toward the suppression
of sovietism. 1t would be a queer pro-
cedure for Lenine to surrender when
the clouds around him give signs OF
lifting.
1t is not to be forgotten, of course,
that the allies, notably England and
France, are still undetermined as to
what their course shall be as 10 Rus
STA. Indications favor decision to
embark on no campaign VI eOtiNl'S
for suppression of the soviet repub-
lie. The result of negotiations at Dor
pat may change the trend of official
sentiment. For if the border states
come to terms with Lenine the latter
will be greatly strengthened. An en-
tente policy of starvation will be prac-
tically of no effect. ~
Nothing but active military opera
lions may be left to the present op-
ponents of sovietism, the allies fur
nishing them money and supplies
But what already has been Witnessed
of the ability of the moderate Rus-
slams to cope with the Reds does not
create faith that an end of chaos ana
terror can be brought about without
powerful assistance from the allies.

WHOLE DIAMOND

chicago, JAN eff all the dia-
monds mined in history and existing
today as cut and polished gems were
gathered from the ends of the earth,
they would form a pile about as large
as wagon load of coal dumped on
the sidewalk, says a Chicago statistical
expert. The pile would contain 49,
355, 4T4 carats and the gems would
weigh ten and one-half tons. If the
pile were in the form of a cone, it
would have a base diameter of eight
feet and height of five feet Reck-
oning the diamonds at $500 carat, it
would have a value of $4,000, 642,200.

whether a commercially successful
oil field may be developed in the Sew
en- Lakes district However, in view
of the showings made in this area, it
is reasonable to expect that better re-
suits may be obtained whore the same
formations lying within reach of the
drill, are more distinctly warped INTO
anticlines and domes near the regions
of greater disturbance or uplif,.
A seepage of oil was inspected near
Battle pesa, about eighteen miles
northeast of Gallup. The oil comes
from very coarse grained sand,
everything carbonaceous shale which
carries Il thin coal bed. The horizon
is near the boundary between the
Mesa Verde and the Maneos, probably
in the former. However, the variabil-
ity in the character of the sandstones
of the Mesa Verde in this region
makes it appear probable that even
If the sandstone extends as far as
Seven Lakes over thirty-two miles
away, it does not contain oil through
out that distance. This supposition is
given weight by the fact that wells
passing through this horizon at Crown
Point fail to find oil.

NEW JOB FOR ELECTORAL COL
I.EGE.


If the league of nations is approved
and begins to function, the electoral
college may have a new job. But the
assignment of new duties to that pure
" formal institution will scarcely re-
suit in transforming it to the dello-
eratiye body which the makers OF the
federal constitution contemplated.
Senator Ashurst has introduced a
bill prescribing the methods by
which the representative OF the
United States in the council and three
in the assembly of the league OF ma
lions are to be chosen. If the Dill
should pass in its present form, me
first representatives would be APP
pointed by the president by and with
the advice and consent of the senate.
Their terms of office would expire
with that of the president, and AFTER
that their successors would be chosen
by the electoral college.
The electors would vote for them
Immediately after they had voted for
president and vice president and
doubtless the results would be for
warded from each state capital in the
same way. Those having the highest
number of votes in the electoral col
lege would be declared elected, and IN
case of tie vote the house of repre-
sentatives in such manner as II saw
fiji would Immediately elect.
Possibly, under the Ashurts Plan
the national political conventions
would nominate candidates for these
places, just as they do for president
and vice president. and the members
zof the electoral college would merely
register the decisions OF their constit-,
pents.

council would occupy a position of
great dignity and responsibility. He
would. be one of nine men to whom
the peace and safety of the world
would be committed. He would speak,
of course, with the voice Of the repub-
lie he represented. and it would be fit
ting that he be chosen with the same
care that the president himself is
chosen. He should be our ablest diplo-
mat and a trusted statesman.
