GIRLHOOD STORIES
OF FAMOUS WOMEN
Louisa May Alcott

The Alcott family moved from
Germantown, Pa, to Boston in
1884. Mr.. Alcott, who was fond of
the water, decided to make the trip
by boat. There were the children,
Anna, three years old, and Louisa,
two.
One evening the family was sit
ting on deck enjoying the ride,
when it was discovered that Louisa
had disappeared. Her parents
were frantic. for they were sure
she had fallen overheard.
A search was made by all the
passengers. The captain finally
found her in the engine room
watching the machinery and gurgl-
ing with delight when the wheels
went round"
Louisa May Alcott (1832-188S)
took a deep interest in everything
and everybody in life, just as she
had in the boats engine. That is
why she wrote such interesting
books about people. In Little
Women" she portrays her own
home life.

MOTHERS AGE, TOO.

When a child asks a librarian to
select a book for someone else in
his family, an older brother or sis
ter, it is almost necessary to ask
the youngster the age of the per-
son for whom the book is to be
chosen.
Irwin is a new borrower at the
Irvington Branch Library. On his
first trip to the library he was
delegated to get a book for his
mother, and one for his sister.
How old is your sister" asked
Miss Esther Baus, assistant librar-
ian.

Birds have very good ears, in

hears the earthworm move under

ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC SHIFT

The Clayton News, which has been
the oracle Of the Democratic party In
Union county for many years, and I'M
der the management of Senator G. &.
Smith. for the past three or four years.
the most militant Democratic paper OF
northeastern New Mexico, has sue
cumbed. That Is to say the political
attitude of Union county has so chang
ed during the past two or three years
from a high ma jority Democratic coun-
ty to high majority Republican
county. that the shift has made IL I'M
possible for Democratic paper to ex-
list at Clayton, hence Senator Smith
was forced TO decide between discon-
tinuing his publication altogether. or
disposing of II to the Republicans. He
chose the latter course and has leased
II to n new company with option to
purchase within a short time, and on
June 4th. the News made its bow as a
Republican paper. Mr.. j. Il. Prostor,
for some time editor Of Clayton Cit
izen, Is the new editor and manager.
Thus Clayton has two first class Re
publican papers, the Citizen and News,
and the minority party is no longer
represented In Union county In news
paper way. Dcs Moines Swastika,
which was formerly Democratic, has
become independent during the past
few months 10 such an extent that IL
Is no longer any assistance To that par
ty. The News Is the fifth weekly
newspaper In New Mexico to see the
light and Gesert the crumbling Demo
cratic party within the past year.
Three OF them shifted during the past
campaign and supported the Republl-
can National and State ticket and two
have changed since then while three
others have gone out of business

As with all Sociallstir theories which
seem so beautiful when the agitator Is
explaining them, somebody must settle
when the bill comes in--and the people
always pay.
North Dakota farmers have had the
pleasure Of putting up millions for the
League activities and its state-owned
enterprises Mr. Towney. the leader
of the League, SAYS the farmers have
been saved - million dollars Il year.
Just how he figures II he does not eN-
plain. but the farmers are beginning
to realize that they are selling their
wheat. hogs and cattle for the market
price the same as in other states, and
that thcy are out the millions I'm addi-
