Jacks mind almost immediately
when Mrs. Layton introduced their
friend.
II am glad to know you, Mr..
Hunter, | have already met your
charming Wife Barnes said, a bit
too ferVently Jack thought.
Yes, Mrs. Hunter told me she
enjoyed your dancing" If there
was bit of sarcasm in the reply,
Barnes took no notice.
You must join us the next time"
answered Mr.. Barnes, then turned
to Helen and they chatted gayly of
things that had happened the night
they were out, while Jack talked to
the Laytons, all the time catching
bits of the conversation between
Helen and Mr.. Barnes.
What shall we do, play bridge?'
Helen asked after a bit.
Yes, indeed, that's what l was
just going to propose" Mrs. Layton
said with enthusiasm.
I'll look on, keep score for you

Helen with the table.
They were to pivot, but Helen
started off playing with Mr.. Lay

playing together. Jack was aston

pertness. She really played UNI
usually well. They played for
small stakes, yet Jack saw she won

put her entire mind on the game

midnight, she was the only winner.

READERS COMMENTS ON RE-
CENT ARTICLES.

Mrs. A. and o. have both written
me to say that they saw my recent
reply to reader in regard to
mending hot water bottles, and
they have successfully mended
their bottles by using auto tire
patch. "There are five different
patches on mine" says Mrs. A,
'and my hot water bottle has not
leaked since / put the tire patch
ing substance on it. Just buy 4
bottle of this and follow the print
cd directions that come with 1t"
Mrs. o. says: BUY a good brand
Of cold patch and patch your wa
ter bottle just as they patch auto
tires"

Especial Correspondence to The Journal

! Especial Correspondence to The Journal.)
Las Cruces, N. NJ, April III
Just as soon as we receive Mr..
Kerr's report, we will advise Secre-
tary-Treasurer Stevens of the
amounts for which applications
have been approved, and we are in
funds and ready to close your ap-
plications just as rapidly as the
papers can be completed. We held
money reserve for this purpose
and there will be no delay as far
as funds are concerned"
This welcome news is contained
in a letter from Miles Lasater
president Of the federal land bank
at Wichita, Kansas, to II. II. Brook,
president of the Elephant Butte
district and head of the Mesilla
Valley Loan association.
Writing of the amount of the al
lotment to Dona Ana county, Mr..
Lasater says:
1T was our intention to permit
your association as much as $780,
600 to 100000 out of the February
bond issue, and we then expected to
make you pro rata allotments out
of succeeding bond sales as they
We're put on, so that If 100000 is
used Immediately, that will be in
keeping with our plans and will not
affect your association in future
sales.
IF you do not use this 100000,
we will hold in mind that it was
reserved for you and can be used
at a later date without initiating
against your association in it's dis
tribution of funds derived from
other bond sales, for we are partic-
ularly anxious to secure loans un-
der the approved irrigation dis
tricts. We feel that this class of
loans will help the system very ma
terially."
Referring to the fifty application
blanks sent to Mr. Stevens to take
care of the waiting list, Mr.. Lasa-
ter says that as soon as Mr.. Kerr,
gineer-appraiser, finishes his bus
mess in Denver he will return to
New Mexico, land, in the mean
time" he adds, I'VE would be very
much gratified If a large number
Of your applicants. If not all of

in here and have them checked. SO
that they can be referred to him
for appraisal"
Mr.. Lasater says that on return
ing to Las Cruces to make further
appraisals, Mr.. Kerr will visit the
Rincon valley to report on that dis
.rict. Mr.. Lasater and Commission
er Lobdell also are planning a trip

during the summer time. 1t will
be in shape for use with the open
ing of school in September.
This department is doing consid-
cradle work for the improvement
of the children in the schools. A
free medical examination was
given each child at the beginning
Of the present school year and
showed that out of the 1882 chill
dren examined there were 1,0S4
slight defects, S55 serious defects
and $50 very serious defects. More
than half the children have some
teeth defects which should be cor
rected at once. There are also $50
underweight children in the
schools.
The department has established
a system whereby milk is served to
all children who care for it at the
rate of cents per half pint bottle
or at the rate of Is cents per week.
Crackers are served at the rate of
5 cents a week additional. The de-
partment owns all its bottles,
which are washed, sterilized and
filled by the dairy. The children
drink the milk with straws. In the
regular monthly weighing, practi-
cally all the children have shown a
gain in weight. Those who have
lost in weight have usually been
suffering with cold or some other
condition which aggravates the
loss of weight
When the clinic Is completed It
will contain a dental chair and ma
chine, sterilizer. instruments, etc.
A hospital bed and examination
table has already been presented
to the clinic by the children of the
the south side grades and the Pres
byterian church.

There's nothing more swelled up
with pride than yonder old gray
hen; she has her chickens by her
side, they number nine or ten. But
she has never learned to add, sub
tract or multiply; she cannot tell
what chicks she's had, how many
should be nigh. Now one is
drowned in yonder pool and is not
missed, by jing; the old hen never
went to school, and cannot count
her string. And silently the cat
takes one; the old hen doesn't
know; she's having forty kinds of
fun, out there where green things
grow. And when the stars like
glowing lamps light up the soil
tude, night after night the old hen

The Paris races are always a
source of fancfful and bizarre cos
tunes. Not h season passes but
what the French designers bring
forth something startling at An
teuil or Deauville. This wrap is
one of the newest and most strik-
ing creations seen this season. It's
oddly lies in the novelty of the
material used, fine white kid.
The soft kid is fashioned into a
coat made on straight, simple
lines featuring the wide sleeves and
side fastening so popular in the
new seasons wraps. Red roses and
green foliage are painted on the
kid in n wall paper design. A col
lar which may be worn open or
closed at the throat is an unusually
practical feature for so extreme
fashion.
The hat has a braided brim of
geranium red velvet with a soft
crown of kid like the coat.

camps upon her dwindling brood.
She started out with ten or more
bright chicks in brave array; and
now she's only three or four, and
thinks it's all o. X. At last some
even when shadows fall, the old
hen comes along; behind her are
no chicks at all--she feels there's
something wrong. She clucks and
cusses in despair, she takes her
troubles hard; alas, there are no
chickens there, no downy things
to guard. Oh. she can tell when
there is none, and feel a mothers
woe. the difference 'twixt ten and
one she never learned to know. SO,
children, learn your lessons well,
and study more and more, and
when you're grown up you can
tell a goose egg from a score.

LOCALS ARE in DOUBT

All regular Republican nominees
will go into the November general
election unopposed by independent
candidates within their own party,
judging from expressions made by
likely Independent Office seekers who
previously had intimated that they
would make the race.
Leatham D. Smith of Sturgeon Bay,
announced independent candidate for
governor, advised a friend in a letter
that he probably would not file papers
to get his name on the ballot as an
opponent to Governor j. j. Blaine
Mr.. Smith said that general senti-
ment "did not seem to encourage an
independent ticket"
"The feeling is that the outfit that
has promised so much should be given
full sway so that they cannot claim
that they were impeded in realizing
their program, and on that account
will probably not continue further in
to the Independent movement" Mr.
Smith declared.
