HARD TIMES IN 1894

TIE historian Of the Detroit News recalls the fact that during the
reign Of Philip the Fair Of France a. ID. 1891 hard times set in
and an economy wave swept over the country. This movement was
largely influenced by the cxtravaeanse Of the lghterups IS well as
the high costs Of living which seemed TO embarrass an unfortunate
class known as tax payers. poor folk who were caught going and
coming much AZ the same class is being caught today.
In order 70 curb this extravaganza a statute was enacted during
Philips reign which prohibited citizens from wearing fars, precious
stones or gold. This privilege was bestowed only on those who could
afford Il; the same being the non-taxpaying class such as dukes.

two suits each year. by gift or purchase.
Others who violated the p~rohibfbry statute were required to
appear before the magistrate and explain the extravaganza. Penalties
included such measures Is Imprisonment, relief for the culprit Of

in extreme cases. beteadsag.
Those were the days when thrift was stcrnly insisted upon. The
leaders Of the organized classes Of the community saw to II that the

end that the public income might not be impaired.

by the fair Philip is the M now being so successfully operated in
Russia by Lenine and Trotsky.

Forest Protection is NtaIy Important to Every New Mexico Citizen

Until a few days ago the present season presented unusually
menacing possibilities Of disastrous forest fires. The forests were
extremely dry and with the grazing, fishing and tourist season open
ing, tho threat Of fire loss was serious. During the past ten days
heavy rains have relieved this condition to some extent. But the
danger Of forest fires always exists and no campaign Of education;
no pains in guarding: no punishment for carelessness is excessive
that seeks the utmost protection Of our most vital resource.
During the last Ave years, the forest service records show that
forest fires have devastated areas larger than the New England
states. The actual money loss has been a hundred million dollars OF
mere The forest service officials say that 30 per cent Of the $4,000
forest fires tina, occur every year in our country could be prevented
by care and vigilance on the part Of those who use and enjoy the
forests.
This Forest Protection week. then. Is Of special Importance to
US here in New Mexico. We can afford TO give the matter some
thought. Especially can those Of US who are going into the forests
during the summer x this matter Of protection in our minds. No
need to remind you who know the tmbered areas Of New Mexico Of
their delights in mid summer and their possibilities as Playground
Their use as such Is not the least Of their values as assets Of the
state. As we Ash and motor and mountain hike and picnic we can
do no less than keep constantly in mind this urgent need for pro-
lection from camp fires, carelessly thrown matches, cigarettes, etc
1t might be well to remember, also, that the legislature last
winter passed a law providing very severe penalties in fines and
imprisonment for those convicted Of carelessness with fire on the
state and national ttnbered lands.
The Herald cannot conclude this Sunday preachment on fores.
protection without urging once more upon all Of you who have not
learned the wonders Of the New Mexico forest areas to take a course
Of instruction during the summer now at hand You who are fish.
smen will need no urging after June first. You who have Travelled
the high trails of this state in former seasons viii need no urging TO
take the trail again But TO you who know the New Mexico hills

Find your way up into these mighty hills. There are tonic ee-
ments in them for body and mind. They furnish, right at our doors,

CAPTURED WILD CAT, TURN
ED LOOSE FOR CHASE
Cat Gives Short But Lively Chase.
Captured BY Dogs Only A Little
Distance From Fallen Tree.

The Weir Brothers have had on ex-
hibition at their barber shop for sew
eral days sure enough wild cat
which was captured near Itta Bena.
The animal has attracted much at
tention. Many have come to see it.
The ferOcious beast was taken out a
few miles south Of town and given his
liberty Thursday night and after Civ
ing him about 10 minutes the go,
hounds were put upon his trail and
the boys" enjoyed a merry chase.
The dogs pursued the cat for
somthing like two miles when he
took tree. The tree was cut down
and it is thought that the animal was
hurt in some way by the falling of
the tree, as he was caught by the
dogs only a little way from the fallen
tree
1t seems that Grenada and vicinity
are to enjoy something of the old
time sport in the way Of hunting.
Mrs. Bob West has some fox dogs and
there are said to be a good number
Of foxes in the eastern part Of the
county. Several chases have already
been had. Old time hunters thought
there was hardly anything to com
pare with a fox chase.
