FAVORABLE CROP CON
DITIONS EXIST OVER
MOST OF THE STATE

Warm, cloudy and showcry wealth
cr. favorable for crops, range ana
livestock, prevailed throughout tho
week ending Tuesday, the bulletin by
the federal weather bureau says: \,
to conditions throughout the state
the report reads:
The week wa warm, partly cloudy
,hoWcry and favorable. A few down
pour, were reported. with some dam
age to crops, roads, and even loss OF
lie, but generally the rains have
caused rapid growth OF crops and the
season is advancing most iavorably.
Range and stock are good to excel
ient throughout the state, with the
single exception OF the southwest
part, where improvements continues,
however. The harvest OF small grain
is still under way in northern ooun-
ties and threshing in southern, with
good results. The third cutting OF
alfalfa has begun in southern valleys
and second in central and north, with
larger yields than the first crop, but
with some damage by showers. Corn
is tasseling and silking in central and
northern counties and maturing in
southern. Beans are good, except for
damage in central districts.

ROADS AND SCHOOLS NOW

The taxpayer in New Mexico is now
paying IN an average, $25.+S on each
81 900 worth OF property assessed to
him, about $1,000 per $1,000 on its
actual value. He is paying So cents
less per 81 600 valuation for state gov
eminent and 80 cents less Tor county
government than he was in 1912. He
Is paying $3.50 instead OF SAP for
schools and 500 instead OF SLIP for
roads. Nine tenths OF our taxpayers
are assessed ON a valuation OF less
than $500 On that valuation they
contribute less than $500 per year
to schools, less than ! per cent per
day. They contribute less than $500
per year to roads, les, than three
fourths OF accent per day, ON their
entire property assessed at $500 and
worth anywhere from 5000 to Sl0,-
00, but the average tapaycr is not
seriously obJoctinp to thl>. ne wants
both roads and school, and he wants
them now while he i, alive, not thirty
years after death.

and boyhood. He was born in one of the limestone caves. Justin Martyr who wrote about the middle of the second century of our era. speaks of the birth of Jesus "in a certain cave very close to the village of Bethle- hem" The cave was used as a stable as even at the present time caverns commonly are used in that neighbor- hood-which belonged (Luke Il, D to a khan, or inn.
 Bethlehem is a suburb of Jeru- salem. only five miles distant from the city by a road which itself possesses utmost historic interest. Along it, in cloud of limestone dust, marched the army of King David to attack the ancient capital of the Jebusites. Nearly 1000 years later came the Roman 1egions by the same route, northward. Christ must have walked over that road hundreds of times. The good people of Bethlehem carry mar ket produce to Jerusalem every morn ing. just as they did in ancient times. It was presumably the path followed by the Wise Men when they sought the star that hung in the sky above the village
 In Bethlehem stands a famous shrine, the Church of the Nativity, be- heath which is a cave declared to be that in which Jesus first saw the light A hollowed block of marble marks the location of the manager in which he lay Just outside is a walled ter race-one of the terraced gardens al- ready mentioned-from which the pious pilgrim, looking down, beho o1ds the fields where the shepherds

was the house of AhaSuerus, cob bier (according to a story which the Bible does not tell). who, while our Lord was on his way to be executed, ran to his door. a half-cobbled shoe in his hand, and called to his wife and children to come and witness the asked permission to rest on his door step, but the shoemaker told him to "get on, and be quick about it.''
 Whereupon the Savior pointed at him a denunciatory finger, and said, ''1 shall soon be at rest, but you will wander until I come again!'
 Ever since that day Ahasuerus has wandered over the earth, vainly seek ing repose. From time to time. through the centuries, he is said to have made his appearance in one place or another. always as a very ancient man with flowing beard. We call him the Wandering Jew.
