Danger in the middle Rio Grande
valley from high water seems to
have passed, according 70 figures
obtained Of the watee stages last
night by County Surveyor Edmund
Ross. Water at Barelas bridge is
almost at a standstill, The height
at o'clock yesterday morning was
recorded at two feet and
elght-tenths. At noon 1t reg
istered three feet, but at
O'Clock it had receeded to its height
earlier in the morning The eN-
IRENE height recorded at the flood
last year was four and eight tenths
feet at Barelas bridge.
Water at EspanOla is recorded at
five feet and three-tenths. Nine
feet was the record height last
year. River experts at Espanola
expressed the belief last night that
bly, above the present mark,
Local rains may heighten the
river in the vicinity Of this city, but
engineers believe there has mot
been enough local water to do any
material damage, Tho bikes north
Of the city are in fine shape accord
ing to Engineer Ross and every
preparation has been made to care
for flood water, if it should de-
velOp.
I'VE feel that there is no need to
fear about the water" County Sur
veyor Ross stated last night, las
the bikes and Barelas bridge can
stand several feet more water, ana
1t now appears doubtful if any ad-
ditioual strain will be put upon
them.

THE DAY OF SMALL PROFITS.
Business That Sets Out to Deal on
Close Margin Wins Confidence
of Public.

Mr.. R. H. Williams, vice president
of the National Bank of Commerce
of New York, recently told the Knit
Goods Manufacturers of America that
the time of big profits is over. Sell
lerS must compete for business, he
said. But he did not feel that this
seems an end of large business OPP
portunity. He showed that great
successes are often achieved on small
margins of profits. The business done
on a close margin attracts volume of
trade, and it becomes possible to de-
velop it by efficiency methods into
large achievement.
The war times gave many people
the big profit idea. They felt they
could swell their gains without any
one noticing it. They built up a top
heavy structure. Prices got so high
that people would not buy. Then
there came sudden drop. Many of
the profteers fell into the hole they
had themselves dug.
The business that sets out to deal
on close margin wins the confidence
of the public. Not merely does it
Lc,p people live at small mini
mum of costs, but it gives an impress
sion of reasonableness and service
that creates good will. If it supports
this policy by consistent advertising
it gets a steady patronage, low cost
operation and rapid turn over of
capital, so that small profits bring
good dividends.
Mr.. Williams in the above men,
toned address, pointed out that the
people had become too used to pros
perity. When any desired result
comes with so little exertion, it is
not attained by permanent causes.
The artificial means that produced
these conditions soon disappear.
Then people are shocked to find
themselves confronted by the eternal
truth. that they must work hard for
any kind of success.
The times of easy money are gone,
and most people must be content
with smaller returns that were the
usual thing before the war.

ACHIEVING POPULARITY.
Story of Tive Girls With Diffe-cat
Views of Life.

Many young people are worried be-

Young women are apt to be par
ticularly affected that way, since
they often feel that the question OF
their marriage depends upon their
power of winning attention.

DIVIDE DOUBLE HEADER.
DEBORAH and Postville Basket Ball
Teams Each Get Game.

The DEBORAH high school basket
! ball teams divided a double header
with Postville last Friday night. The
local boys winning in a close game
by the score of IL to Z, while the
Postville girls took the local girls
into camp by the score of IL to D.
Both games were fast throughout
and proved highly interesting to the
large crowd of enthusiastic rooters
who were present.
The girls game looked at first as
though it might be landslide for
the Postville team as they chalked up
total of ten points during the first
half to one for DEBORAH. The Post
vile forwards gave great exhibit
ton of basket shooting during the
half, garnering several baskets from
the extreme corner of the court.
/ They were closely guarded by Tracy
and Cutting, however and scoring
was no easy matter. During the
second half the DEBORAH girls played
a much better brand of basket ball
and showed superior team work with
the result that Postville was held to
a single point while DEBORAH made
four, due to a field goal and two
free throws.
The DEBORAH boys took the lead at
the start of the boys game when W.
Olson dropped the ball tru the ring
from the center of the floor after a
couple of minutes of play and they
were never headed during. the re
mainder Of the game. The local boys
showed q good brand Of team work
and also Z strong defense, but were
badly of form in shooting baskets
missing a large number Of easy
shots. PoSrville scored but one field
basket during the game, that one BE-

after closing their records for the

found the raising of dairy cattle to
have been a very good venture for
them. One farmer reports he had
been milking twenty-three cows up
on an average during the past year,
and much to his establishment when
the receipts were figured for the
year, he found from the sale of
milk alone he had received $4,000.
In addition to this he sold several
calves during the year which brot
$500 each.
Besides all of the revenue derived
from these sources, he states they
feed the calves an abundance of
sweet milk and the family had all
it could possibly use for domestic
use also.
