SASH AND DOOR
FACTORY To De .
RUNNING SOON

The Whitmer- jackson Sash and
Door company, which is represent
ed locally by T. e. Whitmer, Vice
president of the firm, is fast getting
into shape to open its large sash
and door factory, which will be
located near the big mill of the Nc
Kinley Land and Lumber company,
from whom it obtained the lease of
the factory
With forty-nine sash and door
machines already installed and
eight more additional machines on
the road to Albuquerque the plant
promises to be one of the greatest
industrial concerns of the city
Plans are now under way by the
company for the erection of houses
to take care of the two or three
hundred employees that will be
needed when the factory gets to
running full blast.
The plant was taken over by the
Naturalization concern for the
express purpose of supplying their
wholesale houses in Cleveland and
Buffalo, but any surplus will be
used to supply the local market II
is hardly possible that the McKin-
ley Land and Lumber company will
be able to supply the demand OF
the factory so that arrangements
for material will have to be made
at outside points.
1t is thought by Mr.. Whitmer the
plant will be in full operation
within the next few weeks.

APODACA FOUND
GUILTY BY JURY
ASKS NEW TRIAL

A verdict Of guilty was brought
in Wednesday morning by the jury
in the case OF the state versus Re-
fugio Apodaca, in which he was
charged with receiving and con-
eealment of stolen property. A
value of $l62 was placed on prop
erty concealed by the defendant
and stolen mainly from the Stroup
farm, it was brought out in the
testimony, lleacock and Grigsby
at once entered a motion for a new
trial for their cliept, Regugio
Apodaca, which was granted.
In the case of the state versus
Nicolas Franco in which he was
charged with wife abandonment, a
verdict of not guilty was returned
by the jury,
The trial of Melquiades Martinez
for receiving and aiding in con-
cealment Of stolen property de-
veloped considerable interest when
testimony was given to show that
Martinez had made out bill of
sale to the man charged with
stealing a horse from Eranio Nieto
and signed the name of Eduardo
Navares thereto in the presence
of Justice of the Peace Manuel Gar
ley, of Peralta Testimony showed
that the man charged with steal
ing the horse was released in trial
before Justice of Peace Policarpio
Sanchez, of Barelas, but being
later arraigned before Judge w.
w. Mcclellan Martinez confessed
to signing the bill of sale. The trial
will be continued in this morning 8
session of the district court.

RQUE IS
SUPPLY CENTER
FOR $50 ?. D. s

The Albuquerque postoffice Is
now the central accounting office
for some $50 third and fourth class
postoffices and furnishes these Of
fees with postal supplies. The new
provision went into effect March
Is and under the direction Of As
sistant Postmaster w. II. Long the
new duties Of the office are well in
hand. The first class postoffices i'll
the state still deal directly with
Washington.
Speaking of the new system, Mr..
Long said, that it was much more
satisfactory for the smaller offices
to have d nearby point. of supply.
If there was a sudden demand for
certain sized stamped envelope
they could replenish their stock
much more quickly from Albuquer-
que than from Washington, OF
course. But in the case of an Of
flee in northern New Mexico desir-
ing stamped envelopes with John
B. Jones return address printed on
them, the order would have first
to be sent to Albuquerque, and
thence to Washington and the
printed envelopes would be deliV-
cred via the government office.
This delay he thought, would be
remedied in time.
All of the quarterly reports of
the SEQ offices have to- be audited
here. A very simple system is in
use but Mr. Long anticipates that
a large per cent will be improperly
filled out, due to the unfamiliarity
of the country postmasters with
the work. The third and fourth
class offices now pay postmasters
100 per cent of the first 500 of
stamp cancellation, 20 per cent of
the second $100 and so on, but
there are many small offices that
do not realize more than $25 to $35
per quarter. Most of the smaller
offices are maintained in connec-
ton with country stores and draw
trade for the owners.
Beside Mr.. Long, two clerks
have been detailed to the work of
accounting and sending out sup
plies.

A Prejudice Overcome

! The health OF her sixteen year-old
daughter Marian was a constant source
Of worry to Mrs. Caxton. The girl was
by nature delicate, and continued colds
| had undermined her vitality OF late.
One rainy. sleety day she came home
with every sign of having another
| heavy cold,
Anxiety marked Mrs. Cations face
as she entered the room Of her sister,
who lived with them.
What's the matter, Florence?" her
! sister asked.
IT'S Marian" Mrs. Caxton replied
''She has caught another cold, and |
am so afraid Of pneumonia" -.
| Florence, / do wish you would
| try began her sister.
Weeks Break Up-A Cold Tablets"
Florence finished with patronizing
smile.
ooh. know you are going to say
you have no confidence in prepared
medicine. But our druggist knows a
4 thing or two, and ii was he who told
me about Weeks Break Up-A- Cold
Tablets" retorted her sister. HE
says they increase resistance to colds
and break, them up as well. And in
compound, they contain a vegetable
laxative. fs w
! 'Do send out for a twenty-five cent
box now and let Marian take them
she coaxed. But be sure you get
Weeks, they can be depended on"
Mrs. Caxton gave In reluctantly and
Marian began taking the tablets. : {
The next, morning. when Maria
awoke every trace Of a cold had dis
appeared and she was able to go to
school. Mrs. Caxton wondered at her
prejudice. when Just one trial had
shown how much worry Weeks Break
Up-A-cold Tablets could have saved.
