interests of agriculture, that justifica-
ton is found in the fact that they arc
also serving the best interests Of the
entire consuming public.
Tenth: Extension workers, should
take care to go on record that coopera-
tive marketing will.ihdt and should
not enable growers to realize arbitrary
prices for products, but at best will
tend to permit the law of supply and
demand to operate without speculative
hinderance and eliminate certain wastes
in the handling OF farm products. Co.
operative marketing will not relieve
growers of the necessity of economic
production and will emphasize the ne
cessity of Standardization of products.

S>&N$Es3EA Its area of
%:SzT% 45,126 square
s@s miles is larger
than the combined New Eng
land states, except Maine, with
New Jersey thrown in for good
measure. Its name means
"Penn's Woodland" and was SO
named by King Charles II, who
granted this territory to the
Quaker, William Penn, and
named it in commemoration Of
Penn's father, who had been O
distinguished admiral and On
terms Of peculiar friendship and
intimacy with the royal family.
This grant was made in lieu OF
f16,OO0, which the king owed Ad-
miral Penn. On this basis it
originally cost about 81 square
mile. q
Pennsylvania has assumed
such an important place among
the states that it Is often called
the keystone state. This term
was probably derived originally
because her name was carved
on the keystone Of the bridge
over Rock creek, between Wash
ington and Georgetown. Later on
it was applied on account Of the
great Importance Of the state In
national elections. Its delega-
ton to congress totals 3S, Sec
ond only in size to that from
New York, and Pennsylvania
accordingly has 3S presidential
electors.
William Penn first came over
to America in 1852. The follow
ing year he laid out the city Of
Philadelphia, or "Brotherly
Love-" which was named after
q biblical city in Asia Minor. AS
Pennsylvania was the only col
ony without q seacoast, Penn
obtained from the duke Of York
the control Of Delaware, and un-
!. til the Revolution these two
provinces were under the same
proprietary government. Quar-
rels with Maryland over bound
aries caused a formal survey
to be. made by two, surveyors,
Mason and Dixon, and it was
this which became famous dur
ing the Civil war as the Mason
and Dixon line, the dividing
mark between the slave and the
free s.atcs.

County Agents to Assist.

Eight: Extension workers should
acquaint themselves with the principles
of cooperative marketing and should
encourage movements looking toward
the organization of growers coopera-
tive marketing associations where con-
ditions seem to warrant them. In these
movements the extension organization
should take the lead in conducting edu-
cational work and should render what
ever service is necessary and lawful TO
bring into existence such cooperative
ma kcting associations. A county agent
or other extension workers should not

an Service for the Girls of the
World"
From the tiny tots in their morn
ing gym class on up TO the most
dignified Board meeting there are a
variety of activities and people con-
nected with the Young Women's
Christian Association. There are four
gymnasium classes, which include
games and folk dancing. There are
two Girl Reserve clubs in the grades
and four in the high school. There
is a C. u. P. Club for younger en-
ployed girls and the Adelante Club
for business and professional girls.
There is a play group conducted at
the Girls Welfare Home, a Girl Re-
serve Club at the Harwood Indus
trial School for Spanish-American
girls, and two flourishing Y w. c.
A. groups at the Government Indian
School. Besides these there is the
iris Club for convalescent girls. A
Board of Directors which defines the
policies of the Association and is
elected by the membership consists
of twenty seven prominent and re-
preventative women of albuquerque
This Board works with the commit
tee which number about seventy-five
women who do most of the volun-
teer work OF the Association. Be-
sides this, there is an active men,
bership OF about five hundred women
and girls. All these link hands in
the worlds greatest organization for
women.
How is the Money Raised?
In every movement of this sort
it takes something to make the wheels
go round. The profits from the cafe
terra and hotel take care OF more than
half of the free service TO the COM
munity. However for the two reve-
nue. producing departments there are
four which give but do not gain. For
this reason each year il is necessary
to go out to the community and ask
that II subscribe the remainder of he

Long Delays Those Days

Holly is still writing from Broadway,
New York City, and it was February
20 1871, before the Sl350O0 in cir
culating notes was received, Not be-
fore April lS, 1871, are there any
entries in the individual ledger and
letter copy books of the banks, and
that was probably the day on which
the bank threw open its doors to the
public. 1t was about this time that
the banks advertisement appeared in
the Santa Fe Daily Post. Emphasis
was laid on the fact that the bank
was Conservative although beneath
it appeared President Maxwell's ad-
yertisement that he was ready to
race his fast mare against all corners.
By July 81, less than four months
later, the directors declared a four
per cent dividend and added 81 1898
to the surplus, although the first
statement shows aggregate assets of
only $4,000: loans, $500; cash in
hand, $4,000; deposits, $4,000. The
rovt statement shows totals of

May, 1871, call was issued for re.

Ralph f. Twitchell's Leading Facts
OF New Mexico History" the follow

Eerly Banking History
There were no banks or banking
institutions in New MeNico in Spanish
or Mexican times. No efforts were
made to organize any institutions OF
this kind until 1868. when the leg

A STORE WITH A REPUTATION

Aliens Shoe Shop which is located
at 303 West Central ave, Albuquer-
que. has an interesting history. The
business was started five years ago
by H. Wadley Allen who came to Al
buquerque for his health from Buff
ord, Georgia, where he had been for
many years a member of the firm OF
Bona Allen, Inc. This firm had start
ed business as a tannery during the
closing year of the Civil War and
later branched out by adding har-
ness factory and still later shoe fac
tory in which the well known Allen
Army Shoe is still manufactured.
A short time after Mr.. Allen open
ed his Albuquerque shop. he bought
out the shop of Shull and Sever and
consolidated the two shops. Mr.. Shull
then came with the Allen Shop, and
after Mr.. Aliens return to Georgia,
two pears ago, the management Of
the business was turned over to Mr.
Shull and Mr.. Sinnoek, who had
