THE HERRIN MASSACRE.

The statement Of the National
Coal association that the leaders of
the mob at Herrin, ILL.,, are known
and that at least 500 members of
the mob can be arrested any time
that the attorney general of ILL
nois gives the word, will not come
as surprise to the average indi-
v1dual. 1t would be impossible for
mob the size of this one to carry
out the reign of terror that shock
ed the entire country, without the
identity of at least a majority of
the members becoming known.
They made no effort to disguise
themselves and the local officials
could arrest practically every man
who participated in killing the
non-union miners If they had any
4 desire to do so.
1t will be remembered that a
coroner's jury composed of three
union miners and three business
men reported on the killing of two
union miners and nineteen nom
unionists. The murdered superin-
tendent of a mine was held respon-
sible for the murder OF one of the
two union miners and each OF the
other persons killed came to his
death by gunshot wounds at the
hands of persons unknown" ac-
cording to the jury's verdict. There
the matter rests. No move has
been made by local peace officers,
so far as is known, to arrest and
prosecute those who participated
in the killings.
A few nights after the fight
Herrin, its men and women and its
babes in arms, held carnival
across the street from the hospital
where the wounded strike breakers
lay. Laughter and jokes floated
across the summer night. The oc-
casion was the installation of To-
cal chapter of an international
club. 1t began with a parade. A
band blared dance music from a
truck. The mayor was there. and
the chief of police, and all the To-
cal dignitaries.
"Just trying to forget last weeks
unfortunate event" it was eX-
planned.
Just what action will be taken
remains to be seen. Certainly
nothing will be done If the matter
is left to local officials. Public
sentiment of the region seems to
Justify the execution of the out
casts. There has been no DISPOSE
ton to find the murderers and
they could not be convicted II
brought to trial. County officials
are creatures Of the union. Juries
are selected by the board of super
visors controlled by the union.
Be 1t said to the credit of
Frank Harrington. president OF
the Illinois Federation of Miners,
he has appealed to the miners
unions in the state to keep down
disorder and violence. Disorder
and violence stir the public
against us. Already we are in dis
repute in the public mind" he said

All of a sudden the bad Bob

Baby .,Bunty. She was full Of
questions.
"Oh. indeed it can shoot" an

put some powder in his gun, and

to have the hunter man shoot his

make this happen in a picture,

"Ha! Ha" laughed the bunny

Baby Bunty as she looked at the

Is the home curing of ham
and bacon becoming lost art in
New Mexico? Judging from CEN
sus figures recently published,
such would appear to be the case.
1t would also seem that on many
farms in New Mexico, fresh pork
is available for a farmers table
only when it is purchased over
the butchers block. In 16 coun-
ties, 5704 farms report having
hogs, while in the same counties
S,2S3 farms report no hogs. The
remaining counties show 10,0S9
farms keeping hogs and S,346
without. When we consider the
state as a whole, we find 1913
farms on which hogs are pro-
duced and 16,620 "hogless' farms.
On the average farm in New
Mexico, a sow and litter of pigs
can be maintained at compare
lively low cost until the pigs can
be sold or slaughtered for home
consumption. Even though 1t may
not be profitable to produce hogs
for the market, it may be highly
profitable to produce few hogs
for home consumption. The farm
err who buys all the pork prod
ucts consumed by his family is
in much the same position as the
restaurant keeper who takes his
meals at a place across the street.
Pig Club Members Do Well.
The pig club work in Mora
county last year was responsible
for bringing in purebred livestock
which is making good profits to
club members who took part-in
the work. Miss Ruth Irwin of No
Ian, reports that to date she has
cleared s1S5 on the gilt she pur-
chased last spring. Garth Keyler
Of Levy, made cash profit of
$135 on his gilt and at the pres
ent time has on hand a sow and
two young pigs. The Wagon
Mound Farmers and Stockkmens
Bank loaned over $1,000 to pig
club members, and will do equal
" as we'll on calves this year.
Propagating Chamiza.
Can chamiza be propagated
under field conditions? Can this
useful forage plant be made to
grow over large dItdS VI ANEW
Mexico which are now practically
barren of vegetation useful to
man? These are some of the
questions confronting investiga-
tors at the New Mexico Agricul-
tural college, who are making a
study of the plant
Chamiza (Atriplex canescens) is
shrub whcih usually grows from
two to four feet in height. 1t is
found growing in large areas on
the first mesa along the Rio
Grande valley in the Tularosa
and Mimbres basins, and in the
central western part of the state.
1t is also found growing in small
err areas in many other parts of
the state. The natural agencies
have no doubt been centuries in
distributing it over the areas in
which it is now found growing.
and the question arises whether
man can outwit nature and sue
coed in getting it to grow in large
areas of the state that are now
almost barren, and yet where
moisture and other conditions
seem equally as good.

Once upon a time Uncle Wig

his hollow stump bungalow, smell

waiting for Nurse Jane to come
back from the five and ten cent

gone there to buy herself new

SUMMER TOURISTS.

Word comes from New York
that the day of the metropolis as a
center for summer tourists is dy-
ing rapidly. Where every bit of
hotel space was once TANNED with
excursionists, only empty tiers of
rooms remain, filled thinly with
the regular routine business trav-
elers, while yawning sightseeing
buses. vacant theater seats and
deserted restaurant tables tell a
story of the wholesale DETECTION of
the multitude that formerly flood
ed Gotham in summer.
An Albuquerque man who re-
turned few days ago from a trip
to California reported that the
state seemed to be crowded with
tourists. The roads were lined
with automobiles, he said, and the
hotels were crowded.
1t is quite likely that the east
erners are beginning to learn that
the United States extends. west
ward beyond the Allegheny noun
tsins, or even the Mississippi riv-
or. and that located In this western
region there is scenery that can
not be surpassed anywhere in the
world, Now that the automobile
has come into such general use,
people arc travelling more than
they did a few years ago and they
are obeying the admonition to "see
America first" They arc begin
ming to realize that there is more
pleasure and comfort to be derived
from viewing the beauties OF the
west than there is in being cooped
UP in a stuffy, hot city like New
York in the summer time.

THE MARKET
(By The Associated Press.)
FINANCIAL

New York, Aug. EARLIER
prices in the stock market today
tended upward again on what
proved an erroneous assumption
that President Harding's plan for
a settlement Of the railroad strike
would be accepted by the opposing
interests.
The market reacted sharply
later, however. in the absence of
more than moderate public sup
port and pressure against motors,
rubbers, steels and equipments,
which seemed to originate largely
from professional sources.
Reactions among steels and
equipments from their firmness of
the forenoon We're ascribed to de-
lay in the awarding of contracts
by some of the larger railway sys-
TENS.
Despite the uncertainty in the
strike situation, rails as whole
offered greater resistance to bear
ish aggression than other groups.
Advances in rails were largely
impaired In the more reactionary
course of the market during the
final hour. Specialties of the mail
order class. such as Sears Roebuck
and Montgomery Ward. had their
periods of activity and strength.
Oils followed no definite course,
but shippings were heavy on the
selling of mercantile marine pre-
ferred. Sales amounted to 6S5.000
shares.
Call loans held at per cent
throughout the session. Time
money rates were unchanged, but
the supply was below that of the
past fortnight.

tured the foreign exchange mar
ket, equalling the new low record
