In order to survive, the stockman must get in
step with the times and organize his business
as to be able to cope with present day conditions.
The law authorizes classification of the state
lands by the Land Commissioner. The stockmen
should insist upon this being done. Then rentals
could be adjusted according to value and in a
manner fair both to the state and to the stock

THE CEssIoN OF THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

There are some $4,000, 600 acres of unappro-
priated public domain in New Mexico This is
apart from the forest reserves or lands held for
any specific purposes. This land belongs to the
government and is a liability. 1t produces no
income bf any consequence.
In general, this land is not in large tracts. It
is scattered through lands which have been Sc
lected for other purposes under various federal
laws.
Also, speaking generally. it is the Gull land.
1t has been left the governments hands as
the least desirable portion.
Ex-Governor Larrazolo read paper be-
fore the session of the Governors convention,
which showed very conclusvey that, in all good
conscience, these lands belonged to the state.
These territories were not vast acreages to be
exploited for the benefit of the of the
They were tracts held in trust by the government,
pending the time when they should become fit
to become states.
" To hold surplus lands in New Mexico for the
Ebeneft of rich states when every is needed
30 support this arid state, is to exploit for the
benefit of other states. Yet, under the present
#system, state profits, a matter of fact. The
Government cannot make it profitable Neverthe-
Ness ii is held off rolls as a vast federal
estate of absentee landlords This is all wrong.
The government would lose nothing if it gave
Nus this 1S,000,0 600 But would gain i'm
&neasuraby.
We could so handle it as to make it produce
#[he revenues to finance irrigating and draining
bur valleys We could make it aid our schools
nd roads. We need it and should have it.
N Here lies job for Secretary Fall and Senator
H3ursum. Congress can be persuaded to cede us
his land. Under properly organized State Land
commission it be so administered as to help
he state to progress.
To fight for such solution would be a great
ece of public service.

I got a cowick an it stands
Up straight, an I got dirty hands.
An if it shows a single speck
l have to go an wash my neck,
An every day Ma squints an peers
To see if l have washed my ears;
But l amt really neat
All on account of havn feet.
These feet of mine are always wrong,
l mustn't shuttle 'em along
Or kick a stone that's in the way,
Or if l do someone will say: s
II wish you'd lift your feet a bit.
The way you walk gives me a fit!
Those shoes were new a week ago
An now you've busted out the toe"
They're always peckin' at me, too,
For standin like the feers do.
An just because my toes turn in,
The teacher makes the pupils grin
BY tellin' me ten times day:
"Pease turn your toes the other wayl"
An even when I'm in my seat
She kicks if 1 just swing my feet.
If l get nervous an ! put
One shoe upon the other foot,
Or scrape the floor, they say: MY land!
Is that the way a boy should stand?"
An If rest 'em on a chair,
Ma says: Don't put your feet up there!'
An if l sit on them they roar:
please put your feet upon the floOr
I'm gettin' tired of all this talk
About the way l stand walk,
An anyhow it seems to me,
AT least as far as | can see,
My feet aren't any different than
The other felers round here, an
Some day my temper will explode
1t amt my fault I'm pigeon-toed.

Then he put on an old cap, for he
4 knew if he wore his tall silk hat
Il would only be something for the
boys to throw stones at.
Hopping along on his red, white
and blue striped rheumatism crutch
Uncle Wiggily saw, lying on the
path a flat pocketbook
"Ha! That looks like Grandpa
Goosey's," said the bunny gentle
man. "I'll pick it up and take it
to him."
But as he reached over to get
the purse, it was suddenly snatched
away. For a string was fastened
to it and hidden in the bushes
Jackie and Peetie Bow Wow, the
puppy dog boys, who pulled the
string, had waited for Uncle Wig
gily to come along so they could
April Fool him. The pocketbook
was only stuffed with paper.
"Ha! Hal laughed Uncle Wig
gily, when he saw what the joke
was, at will be my turn next,
boys!"
Then the bunny hoped on and
Jackie said to his brother:
81 wonder what April Fool joke
he will play?"
1--WE must watch out that he
doesn't catch us by giving us saw
dust candy, or something like that"
barked Peetie.
Uncle Wiggily went on little
farther and soon he met Sammie
Littletail the rabbit boy.
"Oh, Uncle Wiggily! What's on
the back of your cUat?" cried Sam
mic.
What is there?' asked Uncle
Wiggily, turning around and
stretching his neck, trying to see.
u hope l didn't spill any egg on it,
What's on the back on my coat,
Sammie?"
Some buttons!" laughed the
rabbit boy. Just some buttons
that always have been there. April

"0h," said Uncle Wiggily, and
his pink nose twinkled in funny
way. 1T will be my turn next,

dered what trick the bunny gentle
man would play.
Uncle Wiggfly hoped on, meet
ing more of the animal boys and
girls, and nearly every one of them
played an April Fool trick on Mr.

Longears, making him believe his
cap was torn, or that his shoe was
coming off, or something like that
And each time he was fooled Uncle
Wiggily laughed and said:
1T will be my turn next timer
Il wonder what trick he is going
to play?" thought the animal lads
and lassies.
But as the day passed and Uncle
Wiggily did not offer them peanut
smells without any peanuts in, or
ice cream cones without any cream
in, the little folk of the wood began
to feel easier.
Toward evening, when the squir-
rel, rabbit, goat. guinea pig and
puppy dog children were gathered
together trying to think of new
April Fool jokes to play, along
came Uncle Wiggily with some box
es under his paw.
oh, he's going to play a Joke on
us to make up for what we did to
him. said Jackie Bow Wow.
But, when Uncle Wiggily drew
near, he passed to each animal boy
and girl a cute little box of candy.
This is my April Fool Joke"
said the bunny.
"Ho! Ho! AS if we'd eat that can
dy!' laughed Billie Wagtail, the
goat. ITS got sawdust int"
oh, has it?' asked Uncle Wig
gily quietly. well, give me back
you box and I'll eat it myself"
Billie handed back the box, and
when Billie saw Uncle Wiggily take
from it a chocolate cream drop and
eat it, and also a gum drop, the
goat boy cried: H..
oh, Is.wish 1 had kept it,,
Take it back said Uncle Wig
gily, laughing. You will find that
all the candy is good 1t isn't the
April Fool kind" And when the
animal children opened their boxes
and tasted, they found that this
was SO. 1t was dandy candy!
This is my joke!" laughed the
bunny, as the animal children
danced around him, eating candy.
ITS nicer than ours We're" chat
tered Billie, the squirrel. Now what
do you real children think?
AT any rate, If the egg beater
doesn't try to shake all the tacks
out of the parlor carpet, I'll tell
you next about Uncle Wiggily in
the rain.

JEALOUS TWINGES.
CHAPTER LXXXVTTT

C1tRI IL LIAM V III,
I couldn't busy myself at any
thing all day. Peggy and / took
the baby out for a couple of hours
in the afternoon, and that helped
little, but it was a long miserable
day for both of us. Then, too, l
had the feeling that there was
something between Tom and that
girl. Her name, | had found out
from Helen (who seemed to know
about everyone), was Edith Cole
man. Helen said Walter had told
her that she had been with Everett
Crandell for some time.
/ do not think | suspected Tom
Of any wrong doing, it was just a
feeling of jealousy that he knew
this pretty girl so well, and that
she had been with him when he
remained out late without me. She
had looked very stylish the night
before, not at all like q working
girl. I had yet to learn that the
well paid working girls in New
York nearly always made q good
appearance; that most of their
money went for clothes.
AS it came time for Tom to come
home l stationed myself at the
window to watch for him. Peggy
too, came and stood beside me.
When we saw him coming. we both
ran to the door and stood waiting
for him.
He's going to livel" Tom said
as he saw our anxious faces. There
was no need to ask any questions
until Tom had his dinner; so a
rather subdued trio we sat down
to eat.
A Welcome Relief.
Tom looked very tired and after
dinner he threw himself on the
couch in the living room. Then
Peggy and ! commenced lombard
ing him with questions.
"Crandell is very badly hurt. 1t
will be long time before he gets
out of the hospital, and months be-
fore he can attend to business. His
back is injured in some way beside
the conclusion, etc. You see he went
out onto the pavement with tre-
mendous force, poor fellow!"
and the cabbie died" Peggy re-
marked, did he have any family,
or anyone dependent on him %
Fortunately no! He was sin
gle fellow, has q brother who will
take care of the body. One of the
directors came to see how Crandell
was coming on. and when he heard
the driver of the taxi had died gave
the brother fifty dollars. Rather
decent, / thought. when the fellow
wasn't even employed by Crandell."

piled, and when I started to say
