Prospecting

Little pieces Of yellow ore found in ditch start
ed the California gold rush Glttering specks Of dirt
found on river bank in Alaska gave birth to the
stampede for gold in the Yukon All the great oil
booms in Pennsylvania, Oklahoma Texas and Califor-
MIA came from spurts of black liquid from holes in the
ground Strike oil kick up nugget of gold and in
unbelievable time the news will have travelled to the
far corners of the globe tc make its source focus for
hordes of fortune hunters.
But why go to suchrare things as gold rushes and
oil booms for Illustrations Of mans treasure-hunting
instinct when every day there are communities demon
strating it anew, though in less picturesque and
smaller way?
These are the cities and towns affording advan-
tages which advertise themselves. Good wages and
employment the sore" and industrial and business
opportunities are the "o' that bring to these com
munities new citizens industries, new business
and greater prosperity.
Community prospecting always produces paying
dirt. There is not community, not excluding the
mightiest metropolis, that could not discover new
mines and wells of community development merely
by little digging and drilling.
And Nogales has not yet reached the point where
it can stop prospecting:

small town would register but family these greatly
tobe-desred community virtues.
The truth is that civic pride and community spirit
to be found in their purest and most unselfish
form in the small town. The reasons are obvious In
the small town one finds that unity of purpose and
neighboriness that absent in large centers
Of population. Cross purposes, class conflicts and cut
throat business tactics foreign to the community
Of limited population
Great cities, only, can afford to spend thousands
advertising their advantages They buy magazine,
newspaper and billboard advertising space hire "di-
rectors of public relations and finance vast civic i'm
provements industrial expansion programs and real
estate Developments But these material manifesto
tions do not make civic pride and community spirit.
The citizen of the small town takes the greatest
pride in his community. The small town newspaper
supports every community project and cooperates
with every worthy local organization. The small town
merchant gories in the fact that he builds his home
town when he builds his business. And the small town
manufacturer and factory worker know their products
are bringing wealth to the community.
When you find civic pride and community spirit
in the small town you know it is the real thing, not the
synthetic product Of hired boosters.

No Good In Fear

Fear does more harm in the world than all the
fevers.
It suppresses hopes, saps the energies and de-
stroys the vitality of millions every day.
The fear of future punishment has driven many
to insanity and clouded many lives. The old-fash-
ioned preaching of birthstone to terfy sinners into
pretension of religious belief has condemned many
soul on the spot The practice is passing away, but
it torments many souls in insane asylums yet. Re
igious teaching is becoming more the uplifting prom
se of the mercy of God It is better religion and we
are better people for it.
The working man with wife and children de-
pendent upon him lives in the ever disturbing fear
of the notice in his pay envelope that his services
no longer required. The man whose earnings barely
keep his family from week to week lives in lifelong
dread that posons his system, his disposition and
prevents him from holding up his head as free man.
There's nothing else to be feared so much as fear
itself It kills something good and helpful in all Of u.s.
It is unquestionable, even among the truly ortho-
dox, if anybody got to heaven merely by fearing
hell.
No man ever increased his industrial efficiency
by fearing loss of his job
There is no good at all in fear Substitute for it
the spirit of courage that makes one hold his head
high and fills his system with neve1-say die attitude,
and it will get you farther and happier

MAKES DEMANDS
FOR PORTO RICO

Governor Theodore Roosevelt OF
Porto Rico, insists that prompt and
definite measures for the relief of
the people of that Island should be
passed by Congress. The delay in
dealing with the situation has
brought Governor Roosevelt to
Washington, and there has been a
good deal of the old Roosevelt
fire" in the insistence of the son of
one of the most aggressive Presi-
dents the United States ever had. He
has appeared before committees of
Congress, and in addition he has
emphasized his deep interest in the
Island by carrying his case to the
people, through the newspapers and
by national radio hOOk-ups. Cover
nor Roosevelt furnishes some very
pertinent facts, as follows:
Porto Rico is inhabited by splen-
did industrious people. 1t is the
link between the United States and
Latin America. They are always ask
ing: what is the United States do

"Ride 'em cowboy!"

You'll whoop with JOY when you
see and hear the cavalade of cow
bovs galloping over the plains in
"Montana Moon," the first musical
Western ever screened, which open
ed today and continues to Saturday
with a matinee Saturday at 2:3O at
the New Plaza Theatre, with Joan
Crawford in the starring role.
A beautiful picture, this. With
the great, rugged open spaces for a
BACKGROUND, it brings rare pictorial
charm to the screen and provides a
setting of grandeur to Miss Craw-
ford's excellent performance.
Not the least in this tuneful ro-
nance of Montana is the comedy in
terest injected by that side-splitting
team of Cliff (Ukulele Ike) Edwards
and Benny Rubin. You certainly re-
member them from Marianne" ."
Well, here they are as cowboys Cif
YOU can magazine that and what
Benny doesn't know about horses
Cliff doesn't know either. With Karl
Dane as their foil, Cliff and Benny
win the gold-plated pitchfork for
comedy honOrs.
Joan sings ever more delightfully."-
than in "Untamed" and the surprise
OF the picture is Johnny's voice when
he sings a plaintive ballad of the
plains. The music is splendidly
arranged and the number sung by
the cowboy chorus is something new
in screen entertainment.
The music, by NaciO Herb Brown
and Herbert Stothart and the lyrics,
by Arthur Freed and Clifford Grey,
bring out such numbers as Sing a
Song of Old Montana" Happy Cow
boy" "The Moon Is Low" "Trailin'

BRIDGEVILLE

The Northeastern Construction
Company of Baltimore, which receiv'
: ed the contract for building the new
100000 school, now has a force Of
men working the foundations,
! The building, which will consist OF
q rooms, with auditorium and cafe
terra. is being erected on the ten
acres of ground purchased by T.
Coleman du Pont and given to the
Bridgeville school several years ago.
This is an ideal location for a new
school building, giving the pupils
ample play ground.
The building will be opened for
the 1881 and 1882 school term.
Strawberries are now coming in
the local market and selling from So
to S5 per 32-quart crate. The price
has advanced considerably after the
market cleared off the early berries,
which were very dirty, due to heavy
rains.
Several car loads are being sent
from here daily by large automobile
trucks, and the shipments will be
much heavier next week.
Harry l.. Cannon, local Gamer,
will open his factory here Monday
for canning peas. The factory has
been in operation for two weeks can
ming asparagus. They will discon-
tinue this crop Monday to start on
peas. The pea crop will not be up
to standard this year, due to the eX-
treme dry weather
1t is thought that about One-third
the crop will be canned, as an un-
usual yield was canned last year.
This is a crop which does not last
very long and the factory is operated
day and night.

Tuesday Night Club was the final

FARM NEWS

Chicks of different ages should not
be raised together. The older ones
will crowd the younger; poorly de-
veloped birds will be the result.
Alfalfa should never be pastured
the first year and only lightly the
second. Overgrazing often Injuries a
good stand.
Pasturing sheep on annual crops
makes it possible to rotate pastures
more frequently. This lessons the
danger of infection by stomach
worms and other parasites.
According to the Bureau of Dairy
Industry, it is necessary TO remove
cows from garlic-infested pastures
to Z hours before milking to elm
mate the garlic flavor and odOr from
milk.
Fleeces should be rolled up, not
too tightly, skin side out, and tied
with paper twine before shipping to
market Wool buyers prefer this
method of tying to that done with
wool boxes.
Young pasture grass should be
grazed closely enough to keep the

development of heavy stalks. Such
grass is richer in protein and soluble
carbohydrates and is more readily
digestible than older grass in which
more stalks have developed.
Milk production of dairy COWS can
not be increased above the normal
by the use of any drug or combina-
tion of drugs, says the veterinarian
of the Food, Drug and Insecticide
Administration. When decrease of
milk production is due to disease the
use of a nostrum instead of proper
treatment may prove exceedingly
costly to the owner of dairy herd.
Unlike the true clovers and al
falfa sweetclover seldom causes
bloat. However, during abnOrmally
wet periods cases of blOating have
been reported. To be on the safe
side, do not turn cattle on sweet
clover pasture when the sweetclover
is wet. Even when it is dry, if the
cattle have not been accustomed to
it, fill them up with other feed be-
fore turning them on the sweet
clover.
The cabbage worm, one of the
worst pests of cabbage, can be con-
trolled if an arsenical poison is ap-
piled as soon as damage is detected
and before the worms become too
abundant. Lead arsenate, calcium
arsenate, and Paris green are ef-
fective poisons and may be applied
either as a spray or as a dust. Ar
senicals are safe to use until the
heads of the cabbages are nearly
formed, because the poison disap-
pears almost entirely within 2 or 3
weeks after application. All outer
leaves of treated cabbage should be
removed before the cabbages are
marketed or consumed.
The shipper of the succulent wa
termelon can prevent his produce
from developing stem-end rot in
transit by choosing only melons that
are free from cuts and bruises and
by reclipping and treating the stems
with a disinfectant paste as they are
packed in the car The paste can
be bought ready made; or it can be
made by boiling s ounces of blue
stone in 2 1-2 quarts of water and
adding 8 ounces of starch that has
been dissolved in one pint of cold
water. Practically all commercial
varieties of,watermelons are subject
to stem-end rot, which is especially
destructive in the Southeastern
States.

HOG CHOLERA

Hog cholera destroys more hogs
in the United States than all other
diseases combined. The losses have
amounted to more than 100000
hogs in one year, and the money
losses reach many millions of dol

cholera serum, method developed
by the Federal Bureal of Animal In

CHAPTER IS

It had been three days ago
that Raquel and Lucy sat on
the bench that ran along the
sun,baked walls outside the
'dobe shack of Pancho RojoS
with only the stars to see
what was going on between
them.
The queen of Beauty hold
ing in her arms the drab little
wisp of a woman, striving to
stem the torrent of tears that
had been gathering behind
faded hopeless eyes since
Raquel, Graded in her arms,
had taken her first unseeing
peep at a turbulent topSyturvy
world.
The miracle of her home
coming to Raquel was that
time could shift the scenes of
her life with such fantastic
swiftness, and lay not SO much
as a finger on this crumbling
dope heap in the desert.
Pancho still roared for his
black coffee and his Steaming
piles of tortillaS. He clustered
out of the setback and swag
gered UP the mean dusty little
street in the direction of Keno
Pete's. But he did her the
goodness of returning In a reas-
onably straight line and to
leave off the diabolical tone Of
his blaSphemy.
He was, she SenSed, a little
afraid of this bone of his bone,
flesh of his flesh, who had re-
turned to take account of him.
He had an uncomfortable habit,
when slightly in his cups, of
confusing her with the patri-
clan mother of his youth. Only
the black eyes of this Raquel
flashed and burned. When he
had last looked into the black
eyes of that other Raquel,
they were soft and pleading.
Like the eyes of the Madonna
over the altar in the Church
of the Blessed Virgin.

eyes so often to make sure this

again twined about Raquel's

eyes still adoredd her wiStfully.

the afternoon of the third day.
She glanced around the shack
casually with no outward sign
of the shudder she was feeling.
This house is pretty old. It's
going to pieces"
I'VE can't do it now," Lucy
said, flustered. 1.-The money is
SO scarce. Your father"
"I'll lend him enough to buy
something" Raquel said quick
ly. IF there's anything here
we could get. right away"
Lucy went on grinding meal
for tortillaS.
There's only been one place
built in HermoSa since you
left" she said. "It belongs to-
to Bill Johnson" She did not
dare look at Raquel. She
wished the name hadn't slipped
from her.

Lucy's arm to turn her around
so that she could look into her
mother'ssface. so Bill finally
built his house on the edge of
the town." She rippled into a
laugh.
Yes" Lucy said, coming as
near to a smile as she ever
did. HE lives out there with
Anne. He married her shortly
after you left. They have a
child. Poor little thing. It's
not just right, something wrong
with it's spine ."
What would you expect"
asked Raquel, from a child Of
Annals? I'm glad she caught
Bill, though. They were meant
for one another"

Did Lily ever come back?"

long look. Lilly never came
back"
Raquel walked to the door
where her face was in the
shadow.

striving to keep her tone cas-
ual, did he ever return. to

The bowl Lucy was holding
clattered to the floor, spilling
the meal she was grinding.

so far as to study the direc-

west? That is, unless it is a
habit and the water is about

for cultivating the habit arises.
Your man knew exactly
which way the wind was blow

east window, and no other, and

last night the wind was blow

would carry the dust away
