WHAT ABOUT IT?
What about It now?

What about 1t now?
The big interests in the nation objected to
500 900 loanfund to aid the agricultural inter-
ests and a $4,000 900 loan-fund to aid the cattle
men, They professed to believe that revving the
Finance Board to aid these industries was paernal-
ism and socialism and a few other awful things.
President Harding has adroty Joined aiding the
railroads with aiding the farmers and has asked 10
have the Finance Board revived to do both We do
not know the effect of the proposal on the cattle
men,
But now, watch the big interests. Let's see how
many of them will consider aiding the railroads as
special favors" paternasm or socialism
The real buncombe of their outcry against the
farmer proposals will be evident at once
The government owes money to the railroads. We
believe it should be paid. The Journal is for the
presidents railroad proposal. So is Mr. Morgan and
his coterie They are not frightened over special
legislation" in this matter. The Journal is for aiding
the farmer and the stockmen by the same plan Mr..
Morgan isn't. 1t is Especial legislation"
II the public for only year or two would prove
Mr. p II. Barnum to be liar, we could adjust some
things in America. But 1t often looks as though
there was still one born every minute.

FINE APPLE CROP IN
PEC0S VALLEY LANDS

Artesia, N. M, July PA large
crop of apples will soon be shipped
from this section of the valley in
the next few weeks. Hundreds of
acres of orchards are loaded with
a fine grade of fruit. The trees
are not as heavily loaded as they
have been In the past years, but a
very fine grade is present.
Mr.. Hartell, local fruit buyer,
has purchased several hundred
acres of apples in the orchard.
Among the orchards purchased are
those of S. A. Lanning, Harry Car
der, w. L. Gage, r. B. Kishbough,
and others. Mr.. Hartell expects to
ship several hundred carloads Of
the crop to eastern markets.
A few apples are being shipped
now, but not in carload lots Pick
ers are plentiful and receive three
and one-half cents per box. The
orchards at Hope, N. NJ, which are
shipped from this place, are re-
lported to have very fine crop.

VETERANS RELIEF NEAR.

Passage by the senate Of the Sweet bill brings
almost to realization the r,uch desired consolidation
of governmental agencies for the relief of World
war veterans The veterans bureau, which the bill
authorizes will take the activities now disrib-
uted among the risk bureau. the rehabilitation
division of the board for vocational training and
the part of the public health service commissioned to
treat sick and disabled ex-service men.
1t is designed to coordinate group Of services
which never should have separate and the effect
unquestonaby will be to facilitate disposition Of
cases that the past have been buffeted about from
one post to another in decidedly nhumane manner.
With the veterans bureau functioning shall have
established machinery for the tender care Of our
needy soldier boys who have just claims upon
the government for relief and assistance. 1t will
swiftly remove a condition which has grown into a
national scandal Then Americans hold up their

not print such information In the
column, as that is advertising.
Mrs. ]. C. S.: can you help me in
regard to laundering my net cur
tains? I wish to avoid the uneven
ness which usually results from
washing"
Answer: Many housekeepers to-
day cannot afford curtain stretch
ers, but those who cannot may re-
sort to the following means OF
making their curtains dry evenly
and without shrinkage: Brush
your curtains well before attempt
ing to wash them; shake all the
dust you can out of them, or it will
form a mud when the curtain is
put in water. Next measure them
and lot down their exact size. Then
proceed to wash them, without
soaking, in lukewarm suds made
with a good white soap. Do the
work quickly, not allowing time
for them to soak and shrink. When
you have put them through two
suds-waters, rinse in clear cold
water and stretch them out on a
clean sheet spread on the floor.
Now take your tape measure
and pull the curtains out to their
original size (Which you jotted
down after measuring them, be-
fore washing); as you stretch the
wet curtains to these exact meas
urements, stick pins along their
edges to hold them to the sheet
and carpet beneath. Open every
window in the room and let them
dry in this way. If you put the
pins near enough together, so as
to keep the edge even. you will not
have to press the curtains with an
iron at all.
