Although a physician says President Harding

that he is indulging in brief period of rest and

The president is about to enter upon period of
unusually heavy responsibilities. The coming con-
ference to discuss reduction and limitation of

BUDGET PROVING VALUE.

The way to save is to save may be trite saying

Budget Director Dawes is purusing. He was named
for the post he occupies for the purpose OF deving

outgo could be Topped off. He is succeeding. He
has found $3.50, 100000 that can be saved to the
taxpayers The greater part of this immense sum
will be clipped from the department, navy de-
partment shipping board and railroad expendi-
lures This saving is to apply to the current year.

Wheat prices began to show an

RELIEF is COMING.

With the campaign over we can face facts with
out being accused of partisanshp. The 900
fund Of the War Finance Board to aid stock grow
is available AMI is being made use of. The talk
that the conditions surrounding loans such that
stockmen can not avail themselves of it is untrue.
Investigation by the Journal shows that these
loans being made every day. The banks of
New Mexico and Ell Paso have been relieved OF
100000 more Of livestock loans by the War
Finance Board. Several millions more of loans are
in process and will be completed soon,
This Is relieving the strain the banks. The
funds formerly frozen" in these loans being
thawed out. Definite relief is in sight.
Victor Cubertson, big cattle grower Of Silver
City, tells that the price of livestock In New
Mexico is beginning to stiffen. 1t looks though
the crisis has passed. The improvement will be
slow but definite. more hopeful atmosphere is
bound to follow.

THE AMENDMENTS

Several days will elapse before the exact re-
suits of the constitutional amendment election are
known. 1t appears that number one. giving the
women a right to hold office. and number eleven,
providing for a 100000 road bond issue, have
carried Number eight, limiting tax levies seems
to be Overwhelmingly defeated. The fate OF the
remainder of the amendments will remain unknown
until the official canvas is made.
1t seems inconceivable that there could be a
large difference of opinion among people as to the
corporation commission amendment and the budget
amendment. Both in the interest of free and
efficient government. That the people in large
numbers allowed themselves to be fooled by the
plausible talk of the representatives of special priv
iege, is discouraging to those who are interested
in progress. These amendments may have carried.
They should have carried overwhelmingly that
the result would not be in doubt.
The land office amendment met with the most
strenuous opposition. Just who spent the money
in the effort to defeat this amendment is not yet
1t is safe to say that all such expense will
be final charge against the school children Of this
state. Under the of Stapln. advertisements
against the amendment carried in the news

special beneficiares of the present regime. A
pleasant fellow personally, he sells himself to the
system.

an eleventh-hour letter to those who dependent
upon his favor for their leases asking them to vote
against the amendment The land office furnished
the stationery, postage and clerical hire On cleo
ton day the land office force the most active
body at the polls in Santa Fe county.
All this activity may eventuate in the failure Of
the amendment. Desperation seized the land office.
The people must not get a look behind the scenes.
Either the republican party will do something
at once to clean up this land office it will
be the cause of party defeat next year. little

intended to play a trick on that

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
NUT CANDY.
BY Howard B. CARTS

Uncle Wiggily! oh, Uncle Wig
gily! Could you please come over
to our house?" chartered Johnnie
Bushytail, the little squirrel boy,
one day as he scampered up to the
hollow stump bungalow where the
bunny rabbit gentleman lived.
Come over to your house? Why,
what's the matter? Is the chimney
on fire or has your brother Billie
fallen into the well?" asked Mr..
Longears.
Nothing as bad as that" laugh
ed Johnnie. showing his teeth,
which were strong and white for
cracking nuts. I'VE are going to
have good time over at our
house, Uncle Wiggily, and I
thought perhaps you and Nurse
Jane would like to see it,"
What is it going to be?" the
bunny wanted to know.
"We're going to make nut can
dy." explained Johnnie. Mother
is boiling up the molasses, sugar
and chocolate while I'm here. As
soon as l get back I'll help Billie
crack the nuts, taking off the
shells, and we'll put them in the
candy"
whats that?" cried Uncle Wig
gily. Put nut shells in candy?
never heard of such thing! I
don't call that fun!'
ooh, no! I mean put the nut
meats in the candy" laughed
Johnnie.
swell, in that case I'll come
over" promised Uncle Wiggily.
Hello, Nurse janet he called.
Don't you want to come with me
over to !he Bushytail squirrel
house and have some nut candy?"
"Thank you! But I can't CO.
explained Nurse Jane. IT have to
wash the face of the clock and see
that its hands are clean, as l ex-
pect company this afternoon. But
you hop along, Wiggily."
"And I'll send you piece of
nut candy" called back Johnnie,
as he and Uncle Wiggily hoped
over the fields and through the
woods on their way to the squirrel
house.

place the bunny rabbit gentleman
began twinkling his pink nose.
II can smell that candy boiling
now, Johnnie" said Uncle Wiggily.
Il know 1t will be good"
ut will be better when It has
the nuts in" said the squirrel chap.
A little later Billie and Johnnie
were cracking nuts in their strong,
sharp. white teeth, while Uncle
Wiggily sat near them picking out
the meats and putting the hard,
dry shells in bowl by themselves
to be thrown away later.
Mrs. Bushytail, the mother
squirrel, was very good to her two
little boys. She often boiled su-
gar. molasses and chocolate up for
them to make candy, as she was
now doing.
"Well, boys, II is nearly fin
ished." said Mrs. Bushytail, as she
stirred the boiling sweet stuff on
the stove. "All you need to do Is
to put in the nut meats. I'm go
ing next door to see Mrs. Twisty-
tail. the pig lady.
'I'll help them finish the cam
dy," said Uncle Wiggily.
BY this time the nut meats were
all picked out and put in dish,
ready to be mixed In with the SUI
gar, molasses and chocolate. But
just as Uncle Wiggily was ready to
do this, suddenly the door of the
squirrel house opened.
"You didn't stay very long, Mrs.
Bushytail," spoke the bunny. as he
poured out some of the candy.
Then he picked UP the plate of nut
meats and by this time he had
looked around and saw that 1t

substantial gains on large and
varied turnover. Shorts sought the

The further reduction of redis-
counts at important reserve centers,
coupled with the encouraging views
of Governor Harding of the federal
reserve board respecting financial
and trade prospects. were note
worthy factors in the additional
STRENGTHENING of quoted values.
The market derived its greatest
impetus. however, from the promi-
nence of rails. Investment shares,
especially those of the transconti-
mental and coal divisions, were
more responsive to the very favor

One block of 5000 shares of
Southern Pacific changed hands at

scored extreme gains of one to two
points, Junior rails following at a
more moderate pace.
Industrials continued to be fea-
tured by steels, equipments and
oils, with the usual sprinkling Of
unclassified specialties. including
rubber, food, leather and tobacco
shares. Mexican Petroleum steered
its recent erratic course, rising a

ARIZONA COPPER MEN
MAKING MARKET FOR
PRODUCT N0F MINES

Bisbee, Ariz., Sept. 23.-If you
can't find a market for your prod
uct, make one. This is the UNDER
lying principle of new voluntary
organization recently formed in
the Arizona copper district.
For months copper has been
drug on the market. There is a
surplus of metal and the great cop
per mining industry Of this state
has stagnated; men have. been
thrown out of employment; great
pieces of expensive machinery are
lying idle and depreciating in val
ue without producing anything for
the owners. Now comes the Copper
and Brass Research organization,
headed by r. l.. Agassiz, president
of the Calumet and Hecla Mining
company and numbering among
its members virtually all the great
copper mining companies of the
United States.
The purpose Of the organization
Is to create new uses for copper so
that the surplus now on the mar
ket may be cleaned up and q de-
mand created for the ore still un-
derground.

The apple spreads wide skirts around,
Squatting homely on the ground,
Glad to take lazy chap
On her ample mother-lap,
Eager to provide him sweet
Striped wholesome fruits to eat.
But the elm, remote and high,
Lays her fingers on the sky.
Strains for stars, and dreams and broods,
Intricate with many foods.
Yet II you persist to WOO,
She may net a star for you.
