There is. In the business annex. a
telegraph Office. always at sheir dis.
posal. Invitations sent out locally
are never mailed from the White
House. but are invariably delivered
by uniformed messenger
Few people are aware that the
president has in Washington a sum-
mer cottage. always kept at his dis
posal. 1t is located in the beautiful
park that surrounds the Soldiers
home on the outskirts of the city.
Lincoln, Grant and Arthur spent a
good deal of their time there in
warm weather, when they could not
set away for a vacation elsewhere.
If chief executive wishes a sea
voyage. there is the presidential yacht
Mayhower at his disposal This yes
sci. fitted luxuriously. is kept in con-
slant readiness IL months in the
year. with a complete crew ever
handy to take the vessel to sea on
"a hours notice.
In former days, crowds gathered
at the depot when the president left
the capital. The crowds were not
merely annoying; they were danger
Gus. On such an occasion 1t was
that Charles Guiteau. lurking behind
a door in the old Pennsylvania sta
tion, jumped out and shot Garfield
In the back All is chasged now.
When the president starts on q Jour
ney he is driven direct to his own
fn tray 90
tlon. In fact when the union station
was built an entire wing of the enor-
nous structure was set aside for his
personal use.
Whenever the president goes trav-
cling in his private train he always
has the right of way no matter how
badly traffic may be congested. Un-
I'll recent years whenever the presi-
dent went travelling he did it on a
sort of charity basis. The railroads
furnished the train free of charge
and paid all expenses. Finally Con-
gress put an end to this system by
giving the chief magistrate $4,000
| year to pay his own travel costs.
The president, of course, has no
doctors bills to pay, and even the
medicines dequired by himself and
family are furnished gratis by the
government.
| When the preSident desires to at
tend theater, he has nothing to
pay. Each of the principal play
houses in Washington provides a box
for his use whenever he cares to oc-
chpy 1t. Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson like a
good variety show better than any
'hins else, apparently, and they
sometimes take stalls in preference
| to box.

OPPORTUNITY

Each fading generation
calls out to the rising one,
Opportunity! To some OBJ
servers it would seem that
opportunity like "tomor-
row. never comes. There
are others to whom oppor-
tunity is ephemeral; COM
ing or going like the sun.
Others speak of it as
though it were something
material, exterior, tangi-
bic. OfcOurse certain adj
vantages are opportune and
circumstances shape our
destinies. But opportuni-
ty, if it is anything, is the
capacity one has formould
ing his own career. OPP
portunity, if any where,
lies within ones self. If
opportunity exists at all it
exists today.
II If you arose this morn
ing determined to live a
little better, grow a little
bigger, and have made ac-
tions fit your will, oppor-
tunity is with you. On the
other hand if today is aim
less what can tomorrow
hold for you?
Donot tell your boys and
girls you never had a
chance; do not lead them
to believe that opportuni-
ty never cast a smile your
way.
Opportunity is what we
make lit; it is where we in
tend to find it. If the door
Iof opportunity is closed to
you, remember, that there
was never a lock for which
a locksmith could not
supply the master key.

OF bandit hor1emen over the linef AT
the present time the oath q. S. infan-
try Is the only force assigned 10 border

one good reason why the state govern

bered that company, Of the old First
New Mexico infantry, was the first
troops TO enter Columbus after the
villa raid.
The requirement Of 20 men for n
troop is really more than can be readily
recruited, although practically every
one OF military age has agreed TO join
it. Twenty more names are needed on
the roll to enabel the troop TO meet the
federal requirements For this reason
ii Is desirable that everyone interested
should enroll es soon as possible
Should Deming by any possibility
fail TO recruit its troop It would be

COLLECT TAXES BY TELEPHONE

Bernalillo county has treasurer
and collector, o. A. Matson, who uses
perhaps a novel, but nevertheless sim
pie, natural and, what Is more TO the
point, effective method Of getting In
the taxes. Nearly 100 per cent OF the
1917 taxes and over 97 per cent Of the
1913 taxes have been collected In this
county. On the delinquent date Mr..
Matson went over the tax rolls and
listed the names Of those who failed to
pay promptly. He then saw these tax
payers personally, told them Of the pen
atty involved and secured payment at
once in numerous cases. He also used
the "ting-a-ling" method, calling up
many by telephone, who came in and
paid. The result is a low percentage
OF delinquency in Bernalillo county.
Mr.. Matson found that, Of notices
sent through the mail, nearly 30 per
cent were returned. having failed 10
reach the persons addressed. II was
for this reason he decided 10 get In
personal communication with those
who had failed to pay. Through the
collection by this method, the taxpayer
was saved a heavy penalty and the
county the inconvenience and loss re-
sulting from the delinquency.
