Here Is the picture OF the evil of the saloon, the
debasing, degrading force that made such sots
and soaks that salvaging seemed useless. 1t was
easy to overdo the saintliness and sanity of Sal
Walton Nell but Pauline Starke plays her with
reserve and makes her convincing.

A plantation of trees on the north
side of the house is often needed for
a windbreak, and we believe the bthe
variety for this purpose is the black
locust because 1t can also be used
for fence posts and firewood, and ev-

sprout and grow up again. Almost
any tree can be raised by our dry
farming methods; but Of course the
upland trees. such as the locust. Rus
sian olive black walnut, elm. yellow
pine, juniper and others are much
easier to raise on limited supply of
water than bottom trees such as the
cottonwood, willow. box elder quak-
ing asp, etc. The catalpa is also a
good dry farm tree, but winterkills
in some locations.
Any fruit tree, vine and small fruit
can be raised in the dry farm orch.

although we believe 1t possible to do

and those who have tried out the diff

are best suited to the climate. AS
far as soil is concerned any good
corn land will raise fruit and some
land which is too poor on top to

Queer Plant In Africa.

One of the queerest plants in the
world Is the welswitschia. which grows
In southwest Africa, 1t is stated. The
body OF the plant resembles an enOr-
nous radlsh, and Is sometimes IL to
Is feet In circumference. From this
grow two long leaves, which trail on
the ground and are usually split into
numerous ribbons. These are the only
leaves produced, and they last through
the lifetime of the plant, which is SAID
to reach more than 100 years. The
colonial authorities maintain small
park for the preservation Of this rare
and remarkable plant.

Ii we figure ON a fifteen inch precipi-
tation. we find that on square 40x40
which equals 1.600 square feet, sixty
tons Of water falls every year. there
fore 1t is advisable to space the apple
trees about 40 feet apart each way.
At first 20 feet or 80 would be suffi-
cient. but as the tree gets older the
leaves become smalled and the size
of the fruit also suffers. Cherries
and plums by the same method Of
calculation work out at 2Ox2O and
small fruits 1Ox10. These estimates
have been made by the writer dur
ing twenty years of observation in
his own orchards and others and are
mathematically and practically cor
rect. No tree of his has ever at any
time died from drouth.
A good way to plow the ground
when preparing for an orchard is to
make each land the same width as
the distance between rows. Thus. IL
apples are to be set out land should
be marked out 40 feet wide. When

 It was then that the people of Ttnkletown began to take notice of him. A few of the more enterprising citizens went so far as to consult Justice Robb about extending Jake s sentence indefinitely claiming that 1t ever see another prisoner who took as much interest in keeping the jail In order as he.
 And when he was finally released, he obtained job with Ed Higgins at a slight increase in wages over what he had been receiving while In durance vile.
 He was middle-aged man with 0 large Adams apple and retreating chin; his legs were so warped that a good ten inches of space separated the knees. Whence he came and why he was content to abide in Tinkle- town were questions he always an swered, but never in a satisfactory manner. Even the hardest citizen soon came to the conclusion that there wasn't much use in asking ques- tions that Jake could answer with a slow and bafflng wink. He became a fixture in Tinkletown, doing odd jobs for nearly everybody in town, and still finding ample time to at tend to his duties at the feed yard.
 When not otherwise employed, he slept in the boxstall once inhabited by the prize stallion, Caleb the Sec ond, now deceased, and you would

 Where have you been?" demanded Harry.
 "Oh--rooting around" said Ander- son.
 Well. I'll tell you something that no one else in this town knows" said the other, pityfng his old friend. Are you listening?"
 Anderson shook his head drearily. 'I'll never be able to live this down, Harry"
 Brace up. All is not lost. Now, listen. l know why Jake hung him self; and l am the only one who does know. The whole story Is told here in this article I have just written. We've been friends and foes for a great many years and want to show my appreciation. I have in my. pos session the letter he received yester- day afternoon. It is under lock and key, and no one else has seen it.. While everybody else was gazing at Joke and wondering how long he'd been hanging there. with my nose for news-.went off in search of that letter. I might have spared myself he trouble. for the last thing Jake did before ending his life, was to put 1t in an envelope and mall 1t to me.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-10-16

He also enclosed short note in which he implored me to do the right thing by him and put his name in the biggest type we have on hand. That's just what I intend to do. Now, I'm going to turn that letter over to you. Instead of me being the one to tell you about it, you are going to be allowed to tell me about 1t. See? That's what you are here for now to show me this letter with all it's narrowing details. Later on, when the coroner comes over from Boggs City. you can deliver 1t to him. Now listen!"
 Ten minutes later. Marshal Crow strode solemnly out of the Banner office. and debouched upon the crowd in front of Hawkins's. Several erst- while admirers snickered. He paid not the slightest attention to them.
 Marshal Crow held up his hand. There was no sign of resentment in his voice or manner as he addressed the grinning crowd.
 "I don't blame you for thinkin' that man in there is Jake Miller. I thought so myself until couple O days ago. That's when I first began to suspect that he was the very man he now turns out to be. Gentlemen. If the individual that you knew as Jake Miller hadn't took his own life last night, l would have had him be- hind the bars today, sure as all get out. He wasn't no more Jake Miller than I am. He had 8 lot of names besides Jake Miller. Now disperse- all of you. Go on now, Willie-dis- perse."

It consisted of three discarded horse blankets. Quite & snug little bed l chamber. you would say and, as Jake himself frequently remarked, a very handy stall to have night mare in.
 Twice day, regularly, day in and day out, Jake inquired at the post office for mail. and invariably Post master Lamson, without looking. re- piled: Nothing today, Jake"
 A singular thing happened the afternoon before Jake hung himself He received letter--a rather fat one postmarked Sandusky, Ohio MT. Lamson and the loafers at the store were still talking about the 'ex- l traordinary event when the former closed up for the night, little later than usual. And while they were talking about 1t, Jake was getting ready to hang himself.
 ] Marshal Crow headed straight for Sae Banner office. Quite a crowd had gathered in front of Hawkins $ l Undertaking Emporium across the street from the newspaper office. 1 Harry Squires was putting the fin ishing touches to long and graphic account of the suicide. He looked up as Anderson sauntered into the back office.

1 the damning stains from his lips and l hin. But, in his haste, he used the back of his hand, and-well, Justice of the Peace Robb sent him to the calaboose for thirty days--and that's how Jake became resident of Tinkletown.
 At the trial he was so shamelessly complimentary about Mrs. Nixon's pie that the prosecuting witness came very near to perjuring herself in or ! der to show her appreciation. The dignity of the law was preserved only i by lakes unshaken resolution to plead guilty to the charge of feloni- ously eating one blackberry pie with never-to- -be-forgotten relish. Mrs. I Nixon was so impressed by Jake's honesty that she made a practice of sending pie to him every baking day during the period of his incar- ! ceration.
 For one who had never laid eyes on the village of Tinkletown up to i the day of his arrival, Jake Miller revealed the most astonishing sense of civic pride. The first thing he did after being safely locked up was to whitewash the interior of his resi- dence. (The town board furnished a i rather thin mixture of slaked lime 4 and water, borrowed whitewash brush from Ebenezer January. and
 got off with total cost of about eighty-fiye cents.) He also repaired several windows in the calaboose by stuffing newspaper into the broken panes, remodeled the entire heating system with little stove polish, put two or three locks in order, and once. on finding that 1t was possible

Column after column of Jake Mil- Ter and he not there to rejoice!
 Jake had been more or less sta- tionary inhabitant of Tinkletown for about three years. He had taken up his residence there without really having had the slightest intention, or desire to do so. In fact, he would have been safely out of the village in another ten minutes if Mrs. Abbie Nixon hadn't missed the blackberry pie from the kitchen window sill, where she had set 1t out to cool and even then he might have got away If he had had handkerchief or something with which to remove

"Is there any proof that Jake Mill Ter wasn't dead long before he was strung up to that rafter?"
 Whats that?" gasped Ali, once more coming to sudden stop.
 Its matter can't discuss with anybody at present." said Anderson, curtly.
 ''Have-have you deduced some thing important, Anderson?" im- plored Alf eagerly, 'r.Is there evil dence of foul play?"
 That's my business." said Ander- son. Come on. Don't stand there with your mouth open like that He's still over at Hawklns's place, is he? I been worlin' on the quiet all by myself since early this morning. an I don't know Just what's been happening around here for the last couple of hours"

 Tinkletown was agog with excite ment and awe. Everybody was talk ing about Jake. He was, by all odds. the most important man in town. Alive, he had been perhaps the least important.
 He was the sort of citizen you all ways think of last when trying to take a mental census of the people you know by sight

Consumed with ambition, misled by belief
in the existence of strength at the ballot box
that is a myth, a COterle of paid labor agltators
and walking delegates are undertaking to seize
control of Albuquerques city government
Championed by one W. S. Patterson, whom
we all know so well, thank you, and one Will
liam Ball. who has been in Albuquerque for
three long years and who is not taxpayer, the
paid labor agitators $3.50 per month and trav-
cling eXpenses) and walking delegates are bus
lily engaged in seeking the recall of Commits
sioners Walter NJ. Connell, John NJ. Reynolds
and John T. Mclaughlin.
Confusing the issues, the labor agitators
and walking delegates are appealing to the
workingmen of Albuquerque to recall three
men whose only fault is that they discharged
some fifteen members of the fire department
who would not obey ORDERS who refused to
take physical training as they were directed,
and threatened to walk out in body on "A
hours notice; who refused to surrender their
membership in a union which had vicious
strike clause
The people of Albuquerque are not going
to stand for nsolent interference in Albuquer-
que's government by the Patterson-B all-Whip-
pie crowd. The less said about Patterson, the
better Ball is the man who conducted the
painters strike year ago and tried his best
to call out all other building trades in sympa-
thy with the painters. Whipple hasn't been in
town long enough to vote. The nerve of the
paid agitator crowd is appalling
The Lines Are Sharply Drawn - Clean Cut
Men and women of Albuquerque Where
do you stand? Do you realize that the paid
labor agitators want to wreck AlbuquerqueS
government? Do you know that when they
started this fight they had hopes of recalling
three commissioners and retaining in office
two commissioners favorable to labor, with the
ultimate end in view of having those two COM
missioners as they are permitted to do under
the charter, select three commissioners to take
the places of the recalled commissioners?
F Where Will Albuquerque Be Then?

man of the reorganlzed city commission. Pat

ouiia board How about the business of Albu-
querque's city government? Has Patterson

they could own and operate a peanut stand
successfully? Do you believe they could wise
ly conduct our city government? Albuquer-
que's bonded debt is S88O,OOO Albuquerque
must, through its officials, pay out every month
huge sums OF money as interest on bonds and
set aside adequate sinking funds to meet bonds
that will mature from time to time during the
next few years. Albuquerque must receive and
spend large sums of money in the operation
and maintenance of the municipal water plant
Cornell, Reynolds and Mclaughlin have faith
fully, honestly and with consistent business
like ability attended to all these affairs of the
city. They decline to permit few labor agl-
tators to dictate to them as to the best methods
of attending to the peoples business.
Governmental Forces Shall Not Be Organized
The three commissioners who are up for
recall firmly and positively take the stand that
firemen, policemen and other city employees
occupying governmental capacity positions,
having police power, and acting as an arm of
the state government, shall not be permitted
to organize into unions, armed with vicious
strike clause and affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor. That is the stand -
squarely taken - plainly stated. If the people
of Albuquerque knowing the facts - desire
to recall the three commissioners because OF
that stand and take the consequences OF a dis
astorus, costly, experimental government per-
sonally conducted by the Patterson-Ball-Whip-
pie crowd they are at liberty to do so. Albu
querque will be held back ten years in it's de-
velopment. People seeking new places of resi-
dence are not trying to identify themselves with
experiments in municipal government
1t is not true; it can not be true that the
people of Albuquerque are going to permit
their government to fall and substitute gov
ernment which has every possibility of peril
and danger.
The Women Of Albuquerque Have the Final Say
It's up to the men and women of Albuquer
que - but mostly the women. The women can
save the situation if they will 90 to the polls
and vote against the recall and against the pro-
posed charter amendment. The women now
have the great privilege of the ballot which they
have so long desired. Women of Albuquerque
