LONE TREE OF 1S49

There was an immense cottonwood, four
feet thick and very tall, which stood in
Nebraska almost in the center of the con-
tinent, halfway between New York and
San Francisco which was within one
mile of that center. Under its branches
rested thousands of forty-niners en- route
to the Eldorado of the Pacific coast 1t
was the best known camping ground on
the old California trail. From 1849,
when the gold seekers rushed across the
great plains down to the completion of
the Union Pacific railway, the great tree
was guidepost to the wagon trains going
West. After the railway was completed
there was no further use for the old tree
and it eventually rotted away and died.
In 1910 a monument was erected on the
spot that the tree had occupied. 1t repre-
sents the trunk of giant cottonwood and
bears this inscription: "On this spot stood
the original Lone Tree on the old Cali
fornia trail."-Ex.

THE GREATEST FISHERIES

Newfoundland is the place where cod
liver oil comes from and transatlantic
planes go from. But, in the recent excite
ment over transocean flights, the cod
liver oil and the Goldfish that furnish it
have been nearly forgotten by most of us.
Newfoundland has the greatest cod
fisheries in the world. The annual catch
is estimated at 100000 quintals-a quin-
tai being one-twentieth of ton.
One-half of this catch is exported, and
its value is about $6,OOO,000. Most of the
cod are dried before they are exported.
Nearly all people in Newfoundland live
by working for some branch of the great
Goldfish business.-Ex.

FAMOUS WOMAN ASTRONOMER

Caroline Herschel stands out as if in
protest against the theory that woman's
gray matter is inferior to that of man.
She was the daughter of Isaac Herschel,
a musician of Hanover, Germany. Her
brother William came to England to seek
his fortune. Caroline followed him to
Bath in 1888. In time William turned
his attention to astronomy. Gaining the
favor of George II, he became the greatest
astronomer of the age. For forty years
he pursued his investigation of the hea-
vens at Windsor, his sister Caroline his
chief assistant. She discovered seven
comets by means of telescope which her
brother prepared for her use. In 1898
she published Catalogue of the Stars"
subsequently Catalogue of Nebulae and
Star Clusters" In 1928 the Astronomical
society's gold medal was given to her.
She died at the age of ninety-seven years.

ON THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI

Oh! the long silver reaches of the lonely
upper river
With the butternuts a-dropping and the
aspens all a-quiver,
The great heron fishing in the shadows
just beyond,
The little tent a-gleaming in our camp
at Oily Pond"
(The pond long since was meadowland,
the lilies bloomed no more,
But maiden-hair and bluebels nodded
by the rivers shore),
And the dragon-Aies that Aickered just
ahead of each canoe
AS its slender prov divided the cur
rents shimmering blue!
The pike-hole by the island, like the
widows cruise of oil,
Supplied US food from day to day
to pay the rods light toll
Though the bright kingfsher watching
from his dead branch, unafraid,
Seemed hooking our slow angling with
each flashing plunge he made.
Raccoons stole down at midnight to raid
our bacon-can;
In the wooded hills above us sure we
heard the pipes of Pan,
While feet of dryads well might tread
the beautiful ravine
Through aisles of elm and linden with
grapevines swung between.>
What dainties can we SAVIOR with half as
eager zest
AS food we cooked above the Goals with
laughing quip and jest?
What sleep is near as sweet and sound
as that which came at last
With the patter on the tent-Ay of rain
drops falling fast?
Come! load the birch canoes again. Well
call our lost youth back
Go slipping down the river on the wild
ducks pulsing track,
And build anew our camp fire, and pitch
our tent once more
Where the birch-trees wave a welcome
to the well-remembered shore.

LIFE is TOO SHORT

What's the use to worry,
You've not got long to stay
Why not take things easy
AS you pass along LIES way?
Twill do no good to worry
If things are going wrong;
You may as well be pleasant
Meet reverses with a smile and song.
There's none of us that's perfect,
There's few of us that stay
And never stray or wander
From the straight or narrow way.
So when you start to hammer
Some poor fool who's gone astray,
Twill do no harm to pause and think
You may lose your grip some day.
What's the use to kick one
Who's just about to fall?
If you do not care to help him,
Don't mention him at all.
You'll find, if you take notice,
That what l say is true;
While there may be faults in others
There's flaw or two in you.

THE WEST SETS A FASHION

CCORDING to that ultimate authority on the dress of women,
n the DrylGcods Economist today demand for knckerbockers is
: : rs per cent greater than it was two years ago, when an actual
demand was first noted by the ready-to-wear garment trade. The
demand has increased notably in New York and Chicago, not only
with girls and young women attending schools. but with their sisters
in general. Manufacturers say the demand has come to stay and
are making their plans accordingly.
The demand for knckerbockers first came out Of the far west,
the well known trade paper says. Thus we have the first authentic
instance Of the creation Of a fashion by the American west. Il is a

THE president has called upon all devout and patriotic citizens 10
pause from theiP accustomed occupations al noon on Friday,
November II, far two minutes Of silent prayer; for the success
OF the conference for limitation Of ornaments in behalf of the valor-
Gus III who made the supreme sacrifice in the world war and for
the blessings Of peace for our country.
The suggestion has followed that it win be possible TO enhance
the impressiveness Of this nation wide supphcation by synchronizing
the solemn observance SO that all the people of the United States will
join in prayer at the same moment. Governors Of states and munich
pal authorities may bring this about by allowing for the difference
in the time zones, the presidents proclamation being interpreted to
mean noon in Washington.
A novelist, Arthur Somers Roche, has recently published a novel
called ''The Day Of Faith. = 1t appeared serially in Golfers Weekly
IL pictured, not a nation, but a whole world affirming at the same
instant belief in his neighbor and by that affirmation vanishing all
evil from the hearts Of mankind. II was a stupendous conception,
bound to fail perhaps in the detail Of its literary execution; but
equally bound TO arrest attention.
Something Of the thought the novelist worked out TO 81 tragi
cally unsafisfying a conclusion in "the Day of Faith, - is undoubtedly
in the minds Of those who pause before the picture Of a nation of
10000 900 people united at the same moment in smppication to
Almighty God for the boon Of enduring peace desired by all the
world; a thought Of what would be the highest demonstration Of
spiritual aspiration in the annals of mankind.

a result Of the showings they were able to make in a New Mexico

men. We lost them when they were at the height Of their useful
ness and when we needed their services most. But other competent
men have been found 70 take the places Of the agents who have
moved to better jobs. The work has been exceedingly well done
II we consider the state al q whole.
In a number Of counties the local farm bureau members have
undertaken TO raise funds for continuing the county agent, by vol
untary subscriptions. some have succeeded. The farming CON-
munity should not be required to 60 to that extreme. This work.
which makes for better agriculture and increased and more de-
pendabie production, bensfns the whole community. The cOmmnn-
ity as q whole should join In paying for the work.
1t Is probably safe TO assert that there Is not q county in the
state whose jail and court house maintenance expense Is at the
minimum. In a majority Of the counties sxtravagances and use
less expenses can be pointed out, in unnecessary employees and in
operating expenses that business methods should be able TO eiimi.
nate County commissioner should apply themselves 10 some Of
this latter elimination. They should apprase the county agents
work as next in importance to the work of the public schools, and
they should take the same pains to provide for its proper main
tenance as is taken for adequate upkeep for the school system.
Next to educating our children we have no more important
work in New Mexico than the introduction of modern methods on
our farms and ranches.
When we eliminate q county agricultural agent we are elimin
ating a practical working force for increased property valuations
in the immediate future. We are eliminating an influence for In,
creased production and for increased prosperity for the community
az a whole.
