GUESTS FEEL. AT HOME
AT COTTAGE HOTEL

Moriarty is a small town but the
travelling man or tourist WHO chances
10 find himself there for over night
will have no occasion to feel regret
at his inability to move ON TO a larger
place before morning.
Noriarty has but one hostelry-the
Cottage Hotel-but the proprietor
Goes not take advantage OF that fact
t foster upon his guests the %intoler-
ably poor Accommodations so often
found in some crossroads hotels.
Instead he will find that every room
in the Cottage Hotel is scrupulously
clean, with a good comfortable bed,
supplied with fresh well-laundered
linen. The meals are well cooked and
palatable and the portions sufficien,
II satisfy the hunger even OF the
Tourist, just in from a long hard ride
in the open air.
The proprietor, Mr.. J. +. Tiilcry,
is a man OF genial good nature who
does all in his power to make his
guests feel at home and to add in
every way possible to their comfort
while they are s%ojourning with him
travelling men frequently make i
a point to arrange their schedules 50
as to spend the night at the Cot
tage Hotel, and the Eastern man who
comes to investigate the possibilities
Tor farming or business in this part
OF the Valley can plan to make his
headquarters at the Cottage Hotel,
assured that his stay will be made
a pleasant and profitable one.

FACE-ON-TICKET RULE DIS
PLEASES N. Y. COMMUTERS

From New York City comes the
report that the new face-on-the-tickot
rule OF the New York Central rail
road has put a stop to the old prac-
tice OF transferring or selling COM
mutation tickets to suburbanites. But
the commuters didn't like the idea
and they groaned as the cameras
clicked.
Their protests were unavailing,
however, for the railroad decreed
that no more Communication tickets
would be issued after October !, un-
less a photograph of the holder was
attached to the ticket. The rush to
have pictures taken was SC great dur
ing the last week OF grace that al
most every station along the rail-
roads lines was converted into an
emergency photograph gallery.
All available photographers were
rounded up and posted at stations,
thus giving the commuter an oppor-
tunity OF being "mugged' while wait
ing for his train to carry him to work
in the city.
After the first rush, these photo
graphers no longer said, "look pleas
ant, please The commuters said it
was impossible. An observing train
conductor remarked that it was curl
Gus that many of the photograph
crs showed scowling countenances.

MORIARTY CASH STORE
DOES THRIVING BUSINESS

Mr.. Louie O. Thornell, the pro-
prietor of the Moriarty Cash Store
came to the Estancia Valley seven
years ago, At first Mr., Thornell en-
gagged in farming, but being a man
OF education and training as pressed
into service at one of the local Val
ley schools, where he taught COM
mcndably for a couple Of years.
Early last spring however he be
came convinced that Moriarty held
Tor him a real opportunity in a bust
ness way, and in March he purchased
rom O. X. Right the business then
known as the "Moriarty Cash Gro
Gerry"
Mr.. Thornell soon enlarged the
scope OF the business however by
putting in a line OF general merchan-
dise in addition to the grocery stock,
and changed the name of the bust
ness to the "Moriarty Cash Store"
In the nine months that Mr..
Thornell has had the business he has
met with a well merited success, his
business having shown a steady and
healthy growth, He states that he
bases his success largely on the fact
that he makes it a point to see TO
It that every customer who trades at
his Store shall be a Satisfied GUS
toner Courteous treatment at all
times helps a lot in building up a
permanent business, he says.
Mr.. Thornell is an enthusiastic
booster and a strong believer in the
future OF the Estancia Valley

GROWING AND HARVESTING A
new Mexico PINTO
Bean CROP
BY MRS. NORA ST. CLAIR.
MORIARTY, NEW MEXICO.

: We first prepare our land, either
by bedding it with a lister or flat
breaking it. Some prefer one meth
cd and some the other. We usual
iy harrow the ground in the same d.
rection in which it was plowed, and
then cross harrow it. 1t is then ready
to plant. The best time to plant IS
along between the first and 25th Of
May, although sometimes we plant
as late as the first part of June.
This year l finished my planting IN
the first day of June, and the last
beans | planted proved to be the best.
Now as to the method OF planning +:
We use either a lister planter or 4
two-roW Boston Bean Planter. Per-
soiaily, | prefer not to have my beans
listed in at all. | take a cultiyator
AID remove all the plows but two and
make these stationary just as far a
part as the planter-boXes of a two
row Boston Bean Planter, and run
that ahead of the planter. The beans
then get a fair start and are rot
overcome by weeds.
II is soon time for cultivation and
the main thing to remember is %
keep the weeds out of the ground
and the soil well stirred up and loose,
being careful however not to stir it
too deep. All kinds of cultiIators are
used. | have a new two-row Rock
Island Cultivator and a single-row
surface cultivator and we can work
twenty acres a day with the two of
them. We usually go over the fields

twice, and sometimes three times, Cui-
ing the season with the c~ultiyalois,
aid also at least once with hoes, as
beans, like other crops, must be kept
free from weeds in order to do th.ir
hest.
When the beans mature, the vines
and pods will turn yellow and then
they re ready to cut, and rlu,t be
cut without delay, or they will soon
get too ripe and scatter out and
waste.
| use a tWo-rOW cutter, clipping the
vines lust below the surface of the
ground. Men with long handled four
prong forks follow the cutter and pile
or shock the beans. They pile either
four or six rows Of beans in one row
Of shocks. | find that with a good
yield, four rows to each shock-row
is about right. 1t takes four good
men to keep up with a two-row cut
ter.
After the beans are shocked, they
are left Tor a few days to dry be-
lore being hauled in and stacked. The
beans are hauled in wagons equip
ped with big bean frames which ex-
tend out over the wheels, making il
possible to haul good-sized loads, as
of course the beans are light, con-
5idering their bulk. Two men pitch
the beans onto the wagon, one on
each side, the shocks having been
made so that d man can stick his
fork tight down in the center of a
shock and lift the whole shock ono

H RAG CARPET
tBy Dr.. William Z. Barton)

My mother made a rag carpet. The
rags we're saved for several years, and
included scraps from all the garments
Of all the children. They were wash
ed, sorted, cut in proper width and
given to Us children to sew, end to
end.
There were three kinds, black, white
and hit-or-miss. SO far as | recall,
the hit-or-miss never hit or was ex-
pccted to do so. 1t was made Of
scraps Of calico garments. What has
become OF calico?
! remember that the girls never had
much faith in the sewing done by the
boys. They accused us of rolling our
balls loosely to make them seem larg-
While We scWed, mother read aloud
to Us. She read the novels of Wal
ter Scott and other literature of the
period.
Then came a day for dyeing rags.
4 ncighbor woman who had skill in
that work came to help mother. There
was red and there was blue and there
was green. Then they took some of
the blue and dipped in the green, and
it came out yellow, 1t was a won
drous process.
Then all the rags were gathered up
and sent to a weaver and we waited
an eternity for the carpet to come
back. Then it was measured, cut and
fitted to the front room" with nice.
clean straw under it, that crunched
under the feet for weeks, and we had
to clean our feet unusually well be-
fore stepping on it.
Every woman in the ncighborhood
knew all about that carpet while 1t
was in the making and came in to see
it after it was down and commented
on it. 1t was a proud day for mother
and for all of us.
What a bond OF family interest that
carpet wasl II was an outward and
visible sign OF the unity OF home life
it was almost sacramento in its in
|fluence.
That rag-rug you have in your home,
madame YOU bought at an art store.
You do rot know anything about
RAG carpets.
The rag CARPET which mother made
was not simply a floor covering: Z
was an expression Of something which
I should greatly ike To see more Of
in the American home-mutual effort
and family interest In a common task.
and common enjoyment Of the achieve
ment.

MORIARTY HAS
PROSPEROUS BANK

Although Moriarty is one OF the
smaller OF the Estancia Valley towns.
it now has a progressive and pros

OF S25OO0OO and a surplus Of 81. 500.
At the present writing. less than three
months over a wear since its organi-

BIG BEAN CROP IN
VICINITY OF MORIARTY

The total receipts from the Pinto
Bean Crop in the territory tributary
to the town OF Moriarty this year
will probably exceed Sl25,00000. Part
OF this crop has not yet been sold
however, and is still held in storage
in the Moriarty warehouses.
In many instances this year, land
about Moriarty produced better than
a thousand pounds to the acre in
some cases as high as l,400 pounds
per acre. The average yield for this
section wa around seven hundred
pounds per acre, and the average
received for beans this Fall hav-
ing been $3.50 per hundred pounds,
many OF the growers who sold their
beans early having netted $500 per
hundred. This IS many cases meant
better than 5000 an acre from Just
such land as can still be purchased
at prices ranging from ten to thirty
dollars an acre, depending upon loca-
ton.

the wagon at once, as in case the
shocks are broken up in loading, the
beans are likely to be shaken from
the pods and scatter and waste. When
the wagon is loaded, it is driven 10
the place where the beans are to be
stacked and the man on the load
than throws the beans off onto the
stack, which is being built up by one
Of the ether men.
Alter the beans are all stacked, ar
engagements should be made as SON
as possible for a t%hr,shing outfit to
come to the farm. While awaiting
the arrival of the outfit, can sacks
must be purchased, if hot already on
hand, extra help arranged Tor, ard

ing crew. Then there is nothing
further to do until the threshing out
Iii arrives.
When the ;h.tshing is finished a;tl
the beans are thoroughly recleaRed
and al cracked lears sifted out. There
are two Bean Warehouses in Moriar-
ty and each have Recleaners, but
both were kept more than busy this
past Fall, taking arr OF the big bean
crop raised in this vicinity lsat Sum

tier the beans are recleanel they
are again sacked and are then ready
il be prt on the market at any time
the owner may see fit. | usually
hold mine a while, but occasionally
the price goes down instead OF ad-
vancing, so there is an element OF
risk in holding them for a better
price, and each farmer must use his
own best judgment about holding
them, Everyone is free however to
do as they please in the matter, as
in everything else in New Mexico.
The grower may sell his beans di-
rect to Eastern buyers through their
local representatives, or he can mark
e. them through the Bean Growers
Association as he prefers.

We have a new school building OF
four rooms and an auditorium. The
school has already out grown the
building space however, and the coun-
try school house was therefore NOV
ed into town to care for the over
flow, but still we are crowded and
there is already talk of adding more
rooms to the present building.
We have six very efficient teach
ers, three OF whom teach in the first
six grades and three handling Junior
High and High School work.
The students are offered good
courses, including English, Matthew
atics, History, Spanish, Physics, Cen
cral Science, Vocal Music, and Draw
ing.
We expect to enroll rs students
before this term is over. 3 students
have already been enrolled in Junior
High and High School classes,
Students are able to perform al
most all standard experiments in the
sciences and are doing a quality of
work in all courses that will be &C
ccptod by any advanced school in the
State which they may later wish to
enter.
The Junior High and High School
students are organized into a Stud
ent Council.
Two literary societies have been or
gained and are doing excellent work.
Each class is organized and all
show a fine class spirit.
The School Spirit as well as the
school work is kept up by Athletics.
Athletics are now being emphasized
never before in this Community.
Some students who would not oth-
crwisc go to school, go that they may
play on the teams but these same
students must do good work in their
studies in order to play, for if they
do not, they are required TO make
up their work while the others are
