HEAD OFF THE JAPANESE.

The purchase of thousand acres of Texas
land in the Rio Grande valley, Ell Paso, is the
beginning made by Japanese from California which
the Journal has been prophesyng. More will follow
and communities will be the off through the
presence of aliens not assimiable and who have no
desire to become American in fact.
The next purchases are liable to be in Dona Ana
county, New Mexico This state may we'll profit by
the experiences of California, which is now seeking
to prevent further immigration of Japanese. Laws
there now prevent purchase of land by Japanese
not citizens, and the pressure of public opinion
against the undesirable is causing them to seek
irrigated sections in the Rio Grande valley.
No American people desire to have such orientas
as neighbors after learning how they live and do
business, working under methods which destroy COM
petitors and using women and children long
days and nights in the irrigated fields
California statute forbds aliens not eligible to
citizenship from bwning land but as children born
there are citizens, land is purchased for them by
parents. as guardians A new law is to be enacted.
it is said to prevent this evasion. Nearly one hum
dred thousand Japanese there,e nearly all in
seven agricultural counties, and the American farm
ers leave such localities. An influx of such orientals
as Ieasers owners would starve out even the ma
tive labor in the Rio Grande valley
New Mexico should face this problem before
harm has been done equal to that in California The
state ought to go far now California has gone
in legislation and If that state further restrict
as proposed without violating national obligations
with Japan, New Mexico do likewise

THE SCHOOL BUILDING PROGRAM.

The bids for the school buildings in Albuquerque
too high. They may not be higher than they
should be under the existing conditions But the
conditions make the price too high.
We for school progress above almost any,
thing else. We want the buildings badly we
can taste it," Every sentiment calls for us to so
ahead.
But business must characterize the expen-
ditures of public The only thing to do under
the circumstances is for the board to reject all bids
build temporary, but comfortable, quarters a
plan of small houses which later be converted
into four-room dwellings-and wait. In fact, some
houses already owned by the district probably
be made into school rooms.
1t is unfortunate, but believe the board should
wait while before attempting to build.

He peeked around the corner of

"Oh, no; I'll help you out" said
Uncle Wiggily, kindly. So with his

crack in the log and Flip Flop. the
lizard boy, could pub out his tail.

CAN THE HOUsEKEEPER EARN
"PIN MONEY!"

Every now and then | receive q
letter from one of my women
readers asking me If | can suggest
some way for her to earn money.
It's not that my husband can't
maintain our home" these letters
generally say, in effect, but just
that there are so many little inn
provements | long to see made in
the home, and it would help so
| much if l could earn little"
When receive one of these let
tiers, l sit down and, write a long
personal reply (for these letters
always enclose a stamp for person.
al reply and end with the natural
request: PLEASE don't put this in
your column.") suggesting the vari-
Gus ways of earning which the cor
respondents description of herself,
her home, and her talents, tells me
are best fitted to her conditions and
most certain to bring successful
results.
1t has occurred to me, however,
that there are many women who
would like to have me suggest ways
for them to earn money, who have
not thought OF writing to ask me
some of them--perhaps fearing
that their husbands would not wish
them to earn, anyway. For the
average man has a foolish pride
about his wife's earning; he seems
to feel that it proves him a failure
ne does not consider the fact that
today the whole world is lamenting
the high cost of living" and that
he is doing a Herculean thing just
to keep the home debt-free.
In the old days, when food cost
about one-fourth what it now costs,
and the man of the family could
easily support his home without
financial aid from his wife, he was
perhaps justified in resenting an
attempt on her part to earn. But
today he should allow her to see
what she can do at earning if she
wants to-especially when her
earnings would go into extras for
the home or perhaps into equip
ment which would tighten her own
daily tasks.
And now comes the question,
How? Well. here are some of the
ways:
BY making and selling preserves;
by making and selling candy; by
keeping few chickens and selling
the eggs Crowded one has back
yard) by keeping bees and selling
the honey; by learning to make
rose jars and sachets out of rose
leaves (provided one has rose
garden)i by learning 10 typewrite |

Whats the matter? Don't you

gily.
"Oh. it isn't that" said the musk
rat lady. But my egg beater Is
broken and unless | can beat up
the eggs there will be no cake for
company or any one else! l can't

"Please let me beat them for

Can you beat eggs? How?'
asked Uncle Wiggily.
with my long tail, which | can

was the answer. Just set me on
the table, wash my tail clean, and
I'll dip it in the bowl of eggs. Then
I'll flip and flop my tail from side
to side, Just as my name says, and
the eggs will be beaten"
Lets try it," laughed Nurse
Jane. She broke some eggs into a
bowl. Flip Flop, the lizard boy,
washed his tail nice and clean ana
then he began to whip up the eggs
with it. And really, he did \even
better than the egg beaten, so that
soon the eggs were all frothy and
Nurse Jane could bake the cake.
Then Flip Flop washed the egg
batter off his tail and he and the
bunny had some cake and tea.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND FLIP
FLOP.
(By Howard r. Garis.)

Out in the kitchen of the hollow
stump bungalow where Uncle Wig
gily, the nice gentleman rabbit,
lived, there sounded a clatter and
a bang and a slam.
Gracious goodness. me sakes
alive and some apple pie lolly-
pops" exclaimed Mr.. Longears,
who was trying to read his break
fast orange and eat the morning
paper.
. Eth? What's that? Something
wrong? Oh, / see. l should have
said he was trying to read the
tablecloth and pour the orange in
to his coffee cup. Now we're all
straight.
rs anything the matter, Nurse
Jane?" called Uncle Wigglly to
Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy, his mustsrat
lady housekeeper.
"Oh, no. nothing at ALL" was the
answer, as the differing, clattering
noise sounded louder than ever.
I'm just getting ready to bake a
cake--that's all. L am washing
the cake tins"
"Oh, well, if that's all I'm glad
to know it," said the bunny, and his
pink nose twinkled twice as fast
as a trolley car. Then he smiled,
for he liked cake.
AS Uncle Wiggily finished his
breakfast and went out in the
kitchen where Nurse Jane was,
still fussing around, he heard his
muskrat lady housekeeper say:
"Oh, dear! / can't do itp'
Cant do WHAT" asked Uncle
Wiggily
Bake the cake went on Miss
Fuzzy Wuzzy. Il have no eggs.
Unless you take hop, skip and a
jump over to Mrs. Cluck Chuck $
chicken coop, and ask the hen lady
for some eggs, not cake can l
make"
"Oh, no! Right gladly will I do
that" laughed Uncle Wiggily.
"I'll go at once and get you some
eggs"
So, putting on his tall silk hat,
and taking his red, white and blue
striped rheuma tism crutch by the
hand, the bunny gentleman went
over the fields and through the
woods to Mrs. Cluck Cluck's chick
en- coop.
The hen lady gave him some
nice, fresh eggs, and Uncle Wig
gily was hurrying back with them
when, all of sudden, he heard a
sad little voice saying:
"Oh, dear! Here | am caught
fast and I'm afraid l shall never
get loose again! oh, what trouble
| am in"
ooh. no! Trouble! This is
where | come in!' said the bunny

Las Cruces Citizen: Political SEN
timent throughout the state seems
to be crystalizing to the effect that
Governor Larrazolo will not be the
candidate of the republican party
TO succeed himself in the governor
ship. Many feel that he has acted
hastily and unfairly and not for the
best interests of the party and pub
lie. There is no lack of good men
for the position, and if Judge Han
ma rs nominated by the democratic
convention it will need a good man
and more popular man than the
present incumbent to carry off the
bacon.
Governor LarraZolo has alien
ated many republican votes and
many that might have been repub-
lican in the recent college trouble.
The governor may have, as he says,
acted for what he thought was the
best interests of the state, but 9TH
ers have also right to an opinion
on that matter, and feel that he
acted hastily, uncourteously and in
the first flush of the affair ex-
pressed himself to the former re-
gents in way that was bound to
arouse the numerous friends and
admirers those gentlemen to an OPP
position to his candidacy. The re-
gents cared nothing for the hon
ors of the office nor the magnifi-
cent salary it paid, but did object
strenuously to resignlng under fire,
which would have been taken as an
acknowledgment of the governors
charges.
There may be deficit, it would
be peculiar if there wasn't, as 1t
would also be peculiar if there was
not a deficit in other educational
institutions of the state, but that
the regents showed themselves I'M
fit for public office by such a
deficit is denied and resented.

His children would not leave his side for you.
There is no tenderness which you possess
Which does not also dwell within his breast;
You who have touched the top peak of success
Still suffer what he suffers when distressed;
With all you own and all you've come to know,
You could not take his place were he to go.
Then give your hand to every good man here,
Respect him whatsoever be his trade,
For he who does his duty, conscience clear,
Needs neither pomp nor Jewels nor brocade;
How can you choose the better of the two,
When both unto their posts of LIE are true?
