of the day, as Things has been run.

! even me, and | am a great believer
in letting well enough alone, but
see where quiet few amatoors is
breaking into the writing to the
editor game, and l thought ]
might maybe join up with them
and give you little something "a
talk about, now that the Ford
stories is all getting somewhat
pass-a.
There has been a lot of talk here
recent about what is the matter
with Albuquerque, and / must say
was surprised to say the lease
when ! first heard it, for when i
come here coupla years ago l was
told by ever body who had some
thing to sell that this was the B. P.
O. e. both as to people and places.
Well, don't care much for salt
but / took some with that, because
it was such a modest statement.
Well, | settled down here among
you, or maybe it would be better to
say | laid down, as that is really
what I done, and looked things
over for spell, and l could see a
lot of things that looked to me like
they could be improved on without
hurting nobody very much, and
l mention these in casual
way to a. few of our citizens, but
they didn't take to my suggestions
so thought it amt my funeral
yet and why should l worry myself
into earlier grave anyway, SO l
just waited.
So it has come to pass, folks,
that we have made a great step for
ward when we get to admitting
that SOMETHING is WRONG, for
as long as we played ostrich there
wasn't no chance whatever for i'm
provements.
But now Sidney We'll Is going to
make a speech on the subjects, and
another party has run ad. lining
out what he thinks had ought to be
done, and | must say in some things
I agree with this party, who s
called sir Geo by his intimates and
others and built Monkey Bridge |,
after a manner, to say nothing of /

visions, there was setback rang
ing from 10c to 32c.
At first the strength in wheat
seemed hesitant, being based chief
ly on news of Argentine frost which
was unaccompanied by any report
of damage.
Approaching midday, however, a
sharp advance was scored on free
buying which was construed as due
partly to short covering for LIVER
pool account. simultaneously Cos
sip became current that Japan and
India had been purchasing liber-
ally, Japan for the most part TAX
ing Canadian wheat. An error in
the United States visible supply
figures relating to Baltimore stocks
counted also to some extent as a
bullish factor. Besides. country Of
ferings in Canada and this coun-
try were reported light and smaller
receipts were noted as compared
with year ago.
Corn and oats derived their gains
from September wheat. Sales both
of corn and oats to go to store

Lower quotations on hogs had a
weakening effect on provisions.

pressure from commission houses.

AN ELKS' MEMORIAL,

The Albuquerque Elks whose magnificent new
building is monument to their civic pride have
chance to start memorial to their soldier dead
The Journal wishes to propose to them testimonial
to those local Elks who sacrificed their lives in the
great
The lodge owns frontage of fifty feet on Cold
avenue which has not been needed yet for the ex-
pansion Of its building. Very wisely, we think thu
organization has decided that its real estate is not
for sale. Future needs are being anticipated in its
retention.
This lot was used for storing supplies and debris
during the rebuilding process. 1t is now being
cleared. 1t should be beautified. The Elks once
had financed and planned park on the vacant
ground. The fire Of year ago checked the work.
Why not revive the park idea now and begin it
with the planting Armistce day of five trees in
memory Of the five Albuquerque Elks who died in
service during the war? Surely the men who were
willing to give grass seed fertile soil, trees and
money before would be more than willing to renew
their offer II such memorial planned Next
spring the park might be finished. 1t would be n
suitable companion for the splendid structure which
now houses the club.
What could be more appropriate to bless the

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
THE HONOR OF THE ARMY INVOLVED.
(From the New York Times.


Until Senator Thomas E. Watson of Georgia pre-
ferred the charge the floor of the senate that
American soldiers had been hanged in France with
out trial he nots called to account although he
had made the declaration from the platform
when candidate for United States senator, and has
printed it recently in a newspaper he publishes.
How many votes he attracted by his rabid attacks
upon the good repute of American army officers
in France never be known. Evidently he
thought that there votes in his campaign
against what he chose to call "militarism." He is
now to learn that the honorable body to which he
has been elected will not tolerate wild and vicious
talk from him, such he revels in the stump.
when it affects the good name of the army; he must
prove his case or take the consequences.
In the house of representatives the other day
Representative Thomas L. Blanton Of Texas was
called to the bar to undergo the humiliation of
sure. Gross his offense was, false testimony
against the honor of the army uttered by senator
on the floor of the chamber would be OF infn.
itey more despicable character Unless Mr.. Watson
his terrible charge before the investigating
committee. the country will regard him unworthy
the evidence. and he should be held strictly ac-
countabe.
It's deplorable that an assault revolving should
be made by senator upon the reputation of the
United States army at time when the nation is the
host of our distinguished visitors who speak in terms
OF the highest praise and gratitude of the gallanrv
and heroism Of American troops in France. All the
more reason why Mr. Watson should have his "day
in court and be called upon to substantiate his
statements retract them.

whats that over there?" ask
ed the Wolf, pointing one paw.
ooh. that's only a pile of dried
leaves" growled the Bear. "Come
on! Uncle Wiggily must have run
down the other side of the hill"
Away ran the bad chaps. The
"p1e of leaves" which was really
the bunny, sat up. Mr.. Longears
picked up the bits of gum and the
leaves. Then he ran home to his
bungalow.
"Ha! Hal" he laughed, "Chew-
ing gum is useful after ALI"

UNCLE WIGGIBY AND THE
LEAVES.
By Howard B. CARTS

One day, when Uncle Wiggily
was hopping through the woods
not far from his hollow stump
bungalow, wondering what sort Of
an adventure he would have, he
heard some one crying behind a
tree.
THAT sounds like trouble"
whispered the bunny rabbit to him
self, land often adventures start
that way. 1 must see who this
Is"
Taking care not to show too
much of his ears, lest the Fox or
Wolf be trying to play tricks, I'm
Gle Wiggily looked around the cor
ner of a rock, and saw--Susie Lit
tletail, the rabbit girl. Susie was
crying.
"Why. Susie! Whatever is the
matter?" asked the bunny rabbit
gentleman. as he wiped the LITTLE
animal girls tears away with the
end of his red, white and blue
striped rheumatism crutch. What
has happened, Susie"
'T-I-Tve los-lost it," sobbed
Susie, looking all around on the
ground among the dried leaves.
Lost WHAT" asked Mr., Long
ears. "Your pencil or your spell
ing book"
Neither one" was Susie's reply.
"I-I-I've los-lost m-m-m-my
CHEWIN' GUM"
ooh my goodness me sakes alive
and a thimble full of moasses"
cried Uncle Wiggily. Lost your
chewing gum! why. Susie, you're
making almost as much fuss as if
you'd lost your rubbers!"
"B-b-b-but 1t was a ni-ni-ni-nice
fresh piece, and I hadn't chewed
it hardly at all, and it was SWEET
yeti" sobbed Susie. maybe you
can find 1t for me, Uncle Wigg-
ily!" and she skiddled her feet
around in the dried leaves
Now look he"e, Susie" said
Uncle Wiggily. IT am not altogeth-
err sure that I approve of your
gum. I don't quite fancy
it. Maybe it doesn't do any harm.
and perhaps 1t does clean teeth
when you can't get a brush. But.
in the manner of speaking, I rath-
err think chewing gum is-well,
bit contemporaneous II you know
what T mean.
However, since you are a little
girl and perhaps won't chew gum
all your life, I'll get you some
more"
ooh, goodie" cried Susie.
"But 1t will not be the sweet,
store kind you had" said the bum
ny. "Tll give you some Woodland
chewing gum. Here on a spruce
tree grows a kind of gum which
really is not half bad. Try a bit
OF It,"
Uncle Wiggily broke off from q

was really the thick sap of th2
spruce tree, that had oozed out OF
crack in the bark. 1t was Ma
lures chewing gum.
ooh, l like it, cried Susie,
chewing away. "Course it isn't
sweet, like mine was, but the
sweetness doesn't last long" said
the little rabbit girl. And. any,
how. this has lots more CHEW to
it. Thank you, Uncle Wiggily.
So Susie hoped along to the
hollow stump school, chewing the
spruce gum, and Uncle Wiggily
started to finish looking for an
adventure. He did not have far
to look. As he started down from
the top of the hill, where he had
met Susie. the bunny saw, down
below, terrible sight!
There was the Woozie Wolf the
Bushy Bear and the Fuzzy Fox.
shifting and snuffing and coming
up the hill; one in one place, an
other in the second place and an
other in the third place.

whispered Uncle Wiggily. "They
know I'm here and they're coming
after me! l can't get away. oh,

wonderful thing if these two great
industries could be brought here
but that is out of the question now
because the ports for whteh most
of US sail from here is through i'm
charted seas, and until we gat that
Strengthened out we had bet er Try
and sell what we got and done you

The idea of sir Geo is all right
until he gets down to the place
where he says mo virile communi-

but it can be built by well psop!o
with the money they get away from

number Of people we see on The
Roslington Rattlers bound to and
from the Highlands and South

"Red- FLOODED tWo-lunged pep
pie" is essential, l can't deny that,
but you have to have something
besides hot air to bring them here,
and as you haven't got much else,
and the hunger is looking for that
commodity, build on what you have
got and don't you think so.
The trouble with Albuquerque,
or them who modestly processes
they are the whole show is that
their colossal selfishnesses will not
allow them to face the facts. Our
stock in trade today is climate and
aside from that there is no reason
why this town should be any larger
than the surrounding ones. What
has been built here has been built
largely by and with the money
spent by the lunger, except maybe
the r. r. shops and perhaps the
sawmili.
Doing what you can for the old
town Is as commendable as rich re-
lations, but don't bite the hand that
is helping passengers on to the
Rattlers is my advice to
sir Geo and no charge for it, which
in itself Is most unusual nowadays
to say the lease.

He looked around. On the
ground were piles of dried leaves.
Nearby on spruce tree was more
of the sticky gum.
"Ha! l have it! I'll cover myself
with dried leaves" said the bunny.
Quickly he picked more OF the
same kind of spruce gum he had
given Susie. Placing a little wad
of gum on a leaf, the bunny stuck
the leaf on his head. Then he
stuck more gum on another leaf,
and stuck this leaf on one ear. In
little while Uncle Wiggily had
stuck dried leaves all over him
self with the gum until he looked
like bonfire before it's lighted.
Then he lay down under a tree.

New York, Nov. 7.--Tomorrow's
recess Collection day., and the pros
poets of another holiday Armistice
day caused a visible dimunition of
| business on the stock exchange to-
| day.
There was fairly active trading In
bonds, however, some Liberty is
sues mounting to new high records
for the year before realizing sales
by speculative interests caused a
moderate setback.
Other incidents included the re-
newed firmness OF money rates,
call loans rising from the initial
per cent rate to per cent in
the afternoon, and the further
| acute collapse of German marks
TO level below three for one cent.
Eliminating the more representa-
tive foreign and domestic oils at
gross advances of 1 to 8 u points
and Irregular gains Of certain of
the motor. food and miscellaneous
specialties, the trend in the main
was hesitant.
Aside from the grangers and Pa
cities, rails were non existing and
equipments. steels and the numer-
Gus issues having more or less di-
rect relation TO those groups moved
within the narrowest bounds. Final
prices were confusing, rallies in one
part of the list being balanced by
lower quotations elsewhere. Sales,
100000 shares.
The minimum figure touched by
German marks during the session
was .S2, precipitating further re-
actions in Austrian and Hungarian
bills. OF the more important re-
mittances, sterling eased slightly
with the French and Belgian
rates. other European quotations
showing little alteration. but far
eastern rates continued to ease.
Profit taking in Liberty bonds
and other government issues did
not extend to the industrial list,
some of that class. notably u. S.
Steel IS showing strength. High
class rails also reflected substan-
tial support. Internationals for the
most part We're higher. Total sales,
