THE CAFETERIA.

We stand with trays and wait our
turns, long, long line of hungry
guys, while appetite within us
yearns for Hubbard squash and
custard pies. Before us there are
many jays who fool and fiddle,
which is wrong; and so we wait
and wave our trays and wish the
bunch would move along. One
graybeard can't make up his mind
between roast pork and shredded
veal, and while he doubts the mob
behind must all the pangs of hun
ger feel. One woman stops, row
to raise, because the soup is half
way cold; and while she jaws we
clasp our trays and feel ourselves
grow frail and old. We all must
wait until our turn, in vain and

want to come with me, Will
lie?" asked Uncle Wiggily of Will
lie Flufftail, the little boy lamb,
one day, as the bunny uncle hoped
past the sheep pen where the
Flufftail family lived.
Where are you going?" asked
Willie, as Uncle Wiggily leaned on
his red, white and blue striped
rheumatism crutch. and twinkled
his pink nose upside down for a
change.
"I am going to ride downtown
in the Woodland trolley, to the six
and seven cent store, and get a
new rubber tip for the end of my
crutch, so it won't slip" spoke
Mr.. Longears. 81 would get pair
of rubbers for it. but my crutch
has only one leg" laughed the
bunny. Pm glad it isn't the din
ing room table, with four legs. Do
you want to Gomez"
ooh, yes, indeed I do" bleated
Willie, and then he found Uncle
Wiggily took their places in the
Woodland trolley car. This was an
old jitney bus, made over into a
trolley, with roller skate wheels
under it; and it moved along by
spring from an old alarm clock,
which made it go, just as spring
makes boys toy train of cars
run along.
"All aboard" called Uncle But
ter, the goat gentleman who was

he wasn't working at something
else, such as butting open the
doors in the five and ten cent
store for the customers. "All
aboard"
So Uncle Wiggily and Willie
Flufftail hoped on, and away
went the trolley on its roller
skate wheels. Pretty soon Mrs.
Twistytail, the pig lady, got on,
and as there were no vacant seats,
Willie, who had been sitting be-
side Uncle Wiggily, very politely
arose and said:
please sit here, Mrs. Twisty-
tail!'
4 ooh. thank you!" grunted the
pig lady. wrinkling her rubbery
nose up in a funny way. "You are
very kind. Willie"
So Mrs. Twistytail sat down be-
side Uncle Wiggily and his rheu-
matism crutch. They talked of
many things, did Uncle Wiggily
and Mrs. Twistytail, while Willie
stood up wagging his big fluffy,
woolly tail, as the trolley swayed to
and fro.
ooh, / must get out here" said
Mrs. Twistytail, as the car turned a
corner. you may have your seat

THANK YOU" bleated Willie, so
once again he sat down beside the
bunny gentleman, as there were
nc other animal ladies standing.

Albuquerque, N. NJ,
January IL, 1921.
Editor Albuquerque Morning Jour
nal.
Dear Sir:-In a recent editorial
of yours you rightly said the Albu-
querque's musical season is too
short and asked for suggestions to
more adequately enrich it. This
mornings Journal carried news
item that ought to prove an OPP
perfume aid. / believe that the
gracious and proper thing for the
Fortnightly Music club or the
American legion to do is to secure
one of Charles Wakefield Cad
man and Princess Tsianinfs con-
cert dates. This would harmonic
with the idea of having an Albu-
querque concert artist as Mr.. Cad
man is one of our most famous
ex-Albuquerqueans with the dis
tinction of being a composer of
an American opera of real merit.
l believe also that concert plan
ist ought to secured for a recital
later in the spring to balance up
the seasons exclusively vocal Sc
ries which has been a disappoint-
ment to the many instrumental
students and lovers of pianoforte
music in Albuquerque.
Yours for a greater musical AL
buquerque! j. H. CURTIS.

AN INTERESTING TAX CUES.
TON,

january IA, 1921.
Mr.. Felipe Hubben, County Asses
sor, Albuquerque, N. M.
Dear Sir:
1t is a great satisfaction to get a
list of the tax levies made out for
Bernalillo county. We should like
to get more information along
certain lines if you will be kind
enough and to investigate and let
us know.
I notice that the entire county
levy, regardless of whether it APP
plies to the county or city, is levied
against districts IL and IS. / can
see why the court fund, certain of
the road funds, the court house
and the high school, interest, and
sinking funds should be levied
against the city as we'll as the
county, but I cannot understand
why the entire general fund of the
county, the road funds, and animal
bounty, INDECENT county agent and
county school funds should be lev
led against city property when the
city already has its own school
funds and its own INDECENT, fund
luo lldo OtllcI lltlllS w. tame
care of sewer, police, health and
fire departments, which are not
assessed to the county as a whole.
In other words. il the city pays
for the county schools, certainly
the county should be assessed to
pay for the city schools l can't
see by what right the county as
sesses to the city, the support of
the county schools. Will you
please Investigate this and see
whether this eleven mill levy is not
wrongly assessed to the city of AL
buquerque in part or in whole, and
let me know?
Also, if you will be kind enough
to go through the other levies and
see which properly belong to the
county, and see what should be
assessed strictly to the county and
what should be assessed to the
county as whole, it will be appre-
ciated.
Very truly yours,
J. NJ. RAYNOLDS.

COTTON HAS A BAD DAY AND WINDS UP
 AT ANET DECLINE
Close Was Barely Steady at a Net Drop of Five to Eleven Points on the Days
 Transactions
By Associated Press

New York, May 14.-Except right around the opening, when prices were 3 points higher to 1 lower on supporting orders in July. the cotton market was generally under pressure throughout the forenoon, and at the close was barely steady, at net decline of to Ii points. Early purchases of July by brokers sup posed to be acting for Japanese interests aggregated 10000 bales and furnished about the only feature in the market. This buying was supplied mainly by the south, while later in the day Wall street offerings became liberal, and were chief ly' responsible for the heaviness which occurred near the close. News was about evenly divided, as the big Fall River sales of print cloths, estimated at 2oc.ooo pieces for the week, and the out look for cooler weather over the belt when dry, warm conditions are needed. were practically offset by the labor un- rest in England, and the less favorable turn to European politics.
 Sentiment was therefore mixed with temporary leaning towards the bear side of the market, but with little incen- tNo to dSBTesSiVe actions on elther side, pending more definite news as to labor and political conditions in Europe. May contracts sold as low as 12. 2Sc, July to l268c and October to 13. 25c, or about Is to IT points under the highest of the morning cable from Manchester said 1t was anticipated that a compromise on the wage question would probably be ar- ranged on a basis of about 25 per cent reduction. The coal strike in England nevertheless, continues as a disturbing factor in the general situation, which Is causing commission houses to advise eau tion on the bull side temporarily. Week. end statistics were considered bearish and the census bureau figures on con- sumption of cotton by domestic mills aggregated 408,S82 bales during April were disappointing in view of the recent pri- vate estimates, and the March consump- tion of 437,933 bales

TINCHER BILL HAS A BAD EFFECT ON
 CHICAGO GRAIN PIT
Corn and Oats Were Generally In Tune With Wheat, But Former Met Some
 Support
By Associated Press

Chicago, May 14.-Grain traders, in fluenced by the passage of the Tincher bill by the National House and the prospects of restrictive legislation in Illinois, drove at the entire list O. prices on the board of trade today. But when wheat reached point 6c under yesterdays high figures, export buyers poured orders into the pit and practically all losses were recovered in the final Is minutes of the session. May wheat closed at yesterdays final of s1.43A to s1.43A, and the rest of the list was only fractionally lower.
 Sentiment that the effect of the Tincher bill would be to restrict trad ing and result in lower prices was the chief factor in the wheat pit. May started downgrade at the opening and there was little support in evidence. Some local commission houses which bought early soon switched their trades and to the effect of this maneu- yer were added reports of beneficial rains in Oklahoma and the Texas Pan handle. and advices that wintry weath- CT in Nebraska had not done any great damage. Toward the close, the usual weekend covering had only fairly started when the big buying orove the entire list upward.
 Corn and oats were generally in tune with wheat, but the former met some support on seaboard demand that served to narrow price fluctuations. country offerings increased
 Provisions, after a fairly firm start eased off in sympathy with grain and hogs.

New Orleans Cotton
By Associated Press


 New Orleans, May 14-Disappointing American consumption figures for the month of April caused a lower market for cotton today after a disposition had been shown to advance in the early trad- ing on encouraging reports from the cot ton goods markets ot the country The census bureau figures of 40SSS2 bales as the consumption of cotton in this coun- try in April. compared with 4S7,933 bales consumed in March and 566,914 consumed in April of last year. A private bureau estimate of some days ago put consump- tion at 422,000 bales while some traders appeared to look for as high as 45o,0O0 Following the report the market slid off to net declines of 13 to r points and closed to 13 points net lower on the day. July traded down to 12S7c and closed at F. 40c.
 Around the opening there was some little liquidation to contend with, under which the market lost to 10 points, but when July got down to 12.44c a new demand came in, stimulated by messages from Fall River saying that transac- tions in print cloths in that market yes- terday had been sufficiently large to bring the weeks total sales up to 100000 pieces. Yesterday they were estimated at 10000 pieces. and were considered en- couraging. The rise continued until the market was to 6 points over yester- days close on the most active months, with July up to 12.56c.
 While considerable rain was reported in the Atlantics. the. weather map was considered rather more favorable than otherwise.

Weekly Financial Review
By Associated Press

New York May 14.-Faiiure of the stock market to make more than casual recognition of Germany's equalization to the allies this week was source of as- tonshment and disappointment to spec ulative interests. In banking circles the markets apparent indifference was re- earded as Wall streets traditional way of discountlng the inevitable. Foreign exchange was the one impor- tant branch of the financial markets which made quick and substantial re- sponse to the reparations settlement. This was shown by the heavy trading at | able rates in British, French, ltat- ian and Belgian exchanges, With con- current strength in the German rate ad- vances to the neutral countries.
 Observers of the latest European de- velopments said it was too early D guage the significance of Germany's sur render. All agreed, however, that this event marked the beginning Of a new era m world trade.
 This opinion bears pertinently upon the action of the federal reserve board in ex- tending bills on imports ana exports from three to six months. By this eX' tension, American merchants and manu- facturers are enabled to give and re- ceive more liberal foreign credits than were heretofore available in most in stances,
 With the midyear only a few weeks off and further lowering of domestic dis counts, it is expected that the money market soon will enter on a more de1lnlte phase. Forecasts favor easier rates, pu, the best opinion IS that new corporate offerings or financing will be largely re- stricted to railroads
 Pressure directed during the week against leading industrials especially steels and equipments, as we'll as motors and their associated issues, conveyed the plain inference that further downward readjustment or suspension of dividends is extremely probable.
