NO TIME TO PICK A JOB.

friend of Albuquerque has suggested edi-
torial based the following quotation from EN-
erson: do not refuse the employment which the
hour brings you for the more ambitious" He
thinks the advice applicable to the present moment
in which, he says, some young chaps are trying to
pick their Jobs and in doing reduced to idle
ness.
If that is a fact, though some may dispute It.,
certainly Emersons advice is not to be thrust aside.
After all, doing something worth while, II 1t
is not ideal. is infinitely better than to do nothing
1t would be mistake to twist this thought into a
doctrine that 1t is foolish to have ambitions. But
there are times when the latitude of choice Is linn
tied and 1t would be contemplate sort of father
who rather than accept an unpleasant task would
permit his family to starve. Or it would be poor
sportsman who now being assigned to play right
end on the eleven would refuse to play left end.
There are probably not great many out
of employment today because they are fastidous
about the work they willing to do, but even If
there should be he would be reprehensiblc
dler and unworthy of sympathy.

uOG-KLLING TIME.

Notice that smoke rising over behind the farm
house? Hear that porker squeal? Hog-killng time
is here. Like laws of the Modes and Persans that
change not, the proper time for butchering varies
not at all. Each day now at some farm kettles are
taken down from the garnet, cleansed and inspected
ladies' gathered together knives sharpened and ev-
erything made ready Then the next day butcher
ing is on with early start. Early, because there
is more to be done than can be accomplished in
one day, and also because of the time-honored
customs of butchering day is to get hogs on tn
skewers early.
But the meals at butchering tme-whole juicy
tenderloins, pork chops all the pies and cakes, dried
corn, beans pickles. mashed potatoes preserves
made from strawberries gathered over on the hill
last spring jees from the currants and raspberres
up in the patch. canned fruits from those trees out

ali you can eat of whatever you think of for
dinner and then at supper the same menu again,
with plenty Of fresh sausage, seasoned with corian-
der and Spices in addition to the dinners offerings
And when all is finished the larder is filled for
cold days with food that the city jewellers covets
and can not buy. And it's a fine thing to know
that, come veal, woe, there is meat enough
in the brine or larder smokehouse to keep the
wolf from the door another year.

COPPER MARKET IMPROVES.

Sections of New Mexico dependent upon
the operation of copper mines for their prosperity
that they are certain to receive with Joy the news
of steady improvement in the copper industry.
Particularly in the matter of exports is the sit
uation encouraging. In September. 1920. the United
States exported 1882 net tons, against 1859
net tons in the same month this year. In October
1920 The exports reached 651 net tons This year
the total was 26,243 for that month.
The export gain is gratifying. 1t means renewed
activity at the copper producing points, 1t is I'M
fortunate however that the demand in this country
is slow in developing as it should. If the indus
tries in America whic1i copper were increasing
their demand to keep pace with foreign countries
we should shortly see return to normal produc-
ton at all our mnes-a condition which would
greatly benefit New Mexico.

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
AMBASSADORS OF STATES"
(From the New York Tribune.)

(From the New York Trbune)
The conference of the governors in Its thirteenth
session point to not inconsderable record Of
achievement, but it has before 1t immensely
larger opportunity further usefulness In purely
voluntary fashion, and with only moral influence, It
may serve the purpose which statesmen of Calhoun
school imputed to the senate of the United States
namely, that of being congress of ambassadors
of the states
There are many useful things which such an
ambassadorial body may accomplish. Almost every
has done has tried to do things that other
states base not undertaken. 1t is profitable for he
inexperienced to hear about them and about their
success or failure Then there is the STANDARDIZED
ton of law and practice In matters of interstate
interest the number of which. by the way, Is con-
stantly increasing.
For example uniformity of laws and practice is
needed in the control of traffic the highways.
Years ago the matter negligible. Highway laws
were of the most primitive description and inter-
state traffic the merest fraction OF what 1t Is
today Now there elaborate codes concerning
the speed, the lighting, and what not OF motor We
hcles and these too often vary materially between
adjoining states
To drive from New Haven, Conn. to Richmond,
Va is to states besides the District
of Columbia, and thus be successfully subjected to
seven different highway codes. A traveller might
break the law in state for doing what II was
quite legal for him to do hour before Relief
from the vexation OF such diversity of law and
practice is to be found in cooperation and uni
formity among the states And the same question
of uniformity presents itself in many cases.

VERSE OF TODAY
HIS REAL NAME.

Young January being poor wears nothing but his
skim
While February in a robe of ermine rare comes in.
March shivers in a worn brown cloak, and April,
frail and fair,
Is folded in rainbow scarf with snowdrops in her
hair.
May dons the apple blossoms pink and June the
roses red,
July in faded overals picks cherries for his bread
And August treads the sunny fields stately Indian
queen
Apparelled like the standing in sIlken gold and
green.
September, purple centured, bears basket piled
with grapes,
Dark amethystine globes from which juicy dew
escapes.
October is a cavalier, flaunts crimson plume.
November, telling beads of rain is cowled in fog
and gloom.
But when December comes, behold! he's whiskered,
booted, furred,
His ringing laughter like the sound of merry bells
is heard.
His arms are filled with many gifts and holly
wreaths because
The little children knew him first and named him
Santa Claus

DRINKING OF LIQUOR

San Francisco, Calf, Dec. IA
Prohibition enforcement officials
who base arrests on the mere
drinking of liquor which has been
illegally sold or transported, lay
themselves liable to civil prosecu-
ton for such arrests, Robert II.
Mccormack, assistant United States
attorney general in charge of pro-
hibition prosecutions in California,

here.
THE Volstead prohibition act
does not contemplate the arrest of
any one for the mere drinking of
liquor" Mccormack said. "Furth-
ermore, persons found drinking
liquor in public places may refuse
to answer questions regarding the
origin of the liquor. No officer can
compel such persons to incriminats
themselves.
1.-THE arrest of such persons Is

through the woods one day.
'Why, I feel quite happy" an
swered Mr.. Longears. my rheu-
matism doesn't pain me at all, I'm
glad to say, and /"
How is your breath?" went on
Floppy. asking your pardon for
interrupting you,' he added, po-
litely. "But have you lots OF wind
this morning, Uncle Wiggily?"
do you want me to run a
racer" asked Uncle Wiggily. IF
you do, Floppy, / think I can win,
for a rabbit is faster jumper than
pig Is runner, though l have
seen you and Curly run very well
in playing ball."
"Oh, don't want to have a run
ming race" grunted Floppy. who
had been given that name because
one ear flopped over on the side,
while the other stood up straighter.
II just asked If you had good wind
for blowing"
"Why, / think have pretty
good wind for blowing" laughed
the bunny. "Do you want me to
blow a horn on Christmas morn
ing to tell when Santa Claus has
Gomez"
Eyes, I want thati" squealed
Floppy. squirming in delight as he
thought of Christmas coming.
But just now I'd like to have you
come to the store with me ana
blow up my toy balloon. I'm go
ing to buy one. Mother gave me
the money and I'll have just time
enough to stop at the store and

teacher wouldn't like It."
ooh, but she asked me to bring
a balloon!" said the piggie boy,
"Bless my pink, twinkling nose!
Is she going to give lessons in
blowing up toy balloons?" asked
Uncle Wiggily. "They do queer
things in school now-cooking and
making dresses and the like OF
that-but I never heard of classes
in balloons"
mo, this is just one balloon the
lady mouse teacher wants" ex-
planned Floppy. "Sha wants mo
to bring q big. round blown-up one
so she can show the geography
class how the earth we live on
looks--round like ball, you
know.
Some Of the children think the
earth is flat. but teacher says its

wants me to bring one so she can
show it, But I'm not strong
enough to blow the balloon up big

"And most gladly III do so"
laughed Uncle Wiggily. II may

out of it. But why doesn't tha
monkey doodle gentleman who
keeps the toy store blow up the
balloons he sells?"
"FIe says he would never have

planned Floppy. so he sells them
to us all flat and flabby. and we
blow them up ourselves. Only this
