Misunderstood?
(NeW York TimeS)


 Gilbert K. Chesterton returning to his English home after prolonged and what we supposed was jolly visit to this country, declares that American villages are eyesores and that New York is "as startling and horrifying to America as to everybody else"
 The latest Chesterton mood is surprising be- cause while he was here he warmly championed Main Street against it's traducers He declared that the aspect of New York is truly Babylonan. In other ways he won hearts by taking up the cudgels for America against her own dissnchanted native sons
 Consequently there can be only one explana- tion for the from London. MT. Chesterton has been imperfecty reported. When he described American villages as eyesores he must have gone on to say, in his well-known manner, "Yes, the American village is sensationally and tri- umphantly an eyesore because it is sight for sore eyes" And in the matter of own dear town we are confident that Chestertons full state ment sread "The beauty of New York is invincibly startling to any who comes to the United States looking for drab level of materiaistic ug- ness New York is indeed horrfying to the sour critic who discovers in New Yorks loveliness the radiant denial of the common legend about Amer- can cities" Or something of the sort.

HARD TIMES ISSUE IS NOW NON
 PARTISAN.

With constantly growing National treasury de- fict that promises to exceed by many millions a billion dollars by the end of the present fiscal year it is becoming more and more apparent that one of the achievements of the Hoover Administration will be the restoration of the National debt. The deficit is becoming large that it is probable we shall soon confront the necessity of issuing bonds in time of peace again was done much to the injury of it's popularity by the Cleveland Admin istration n 1893.
 And this suggests that the present situation has destroyed Republican opportunity to harp on the political aspect of the Cleveland panic" and the association of Democratic ascendency with hard

 A tree planted by President Hoover has now taken its place on the White House grounds along with trees planted by other presidents MT Hoover, who planted an elm the other day has received certificate of membership in the tree-planting army enrolled by the American Tree Association and incidentally, has set an exceyllent example for his fellow-citizens.
 Many Presidents have planted trees on the White House grounds. Not far from MT Hoover s tree is one planted by President Roosevelt. little distance away is one set out by President Wilson. Within view is planted by President Mckinley. Farther away is planted by President Hayes.
 There is something appealing about this Pres- dental planting. tree is living memorial; more intimate somehow, than granite shaft or a bronze tablet We hope the custom is continued.

Largely Attended

One Of the largest attended funer-
ais ever held in Nogales was that

very popular pioneer, who was bur-

from, th3 Episcopal church to the
Masonic cemetery, was more than
q mile long.

Tucson, Fred Noon of San Diego,
brothers; A. w. Noon OF Glendale,
California, a son; Fred Noon of
Tucson and Bonsal Noon, nepheWs;
and Harry r. Renshaw, brother-in-

Carnival 20 Feet Outside OF City

AS rule the Nogaes international, and the pub
lie in general particularly the kiddies, like to see
carnival come to town.
But--during a period of depression such things
do not help the community, and they are detrlment
They take away from the community (never to re-
turn again) hard-ea1med cash that is needed, and
badly needed, at the present time.
The international desires to publicly praise May
or Harry ]. Karns and Chief of Police j. J. Lowe for
not giving the carnival permission to show inside the
city. The Mayor and Chief Of Police, better than any
one ese know the condition of affairs here at this
time. They know that the money spent at the calni
val is needed to help take of many poor families
now i'll distress.
The carnival, not to be out done by the city au-
thorities went ahead and pitched their tents twenty
feet outside the city limits property owned by Roy
Titcomb that rghtfuy should be part of Nogales.
The carnival paid county authorities $50 license
tax If they to, under that permit they stay
three long months.
Here we have carnival showing in the district
after paying only $30-the tax that the Nogales
Theater has to pay each quarte1and the theater is
business institution that is here the entire year.
There is nothing fair about that.
IF the carnival has Is shows and Is rides it
SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE TO PAY A TAX TO
THE COUNTY OF 5000 instead Of just $50 for the
whole show.
Presence Of the carnival close to town, is a
direct slap in the face at Nogales.

Mrs. Judd Former
Resident Agujiitq.

Mrs. Winnie Ruth Judd, wife of
DR.. w. G. Judd, is known to many
people of Eagle Pass.
This woman who is,
charged with the ruthless and SEEM
irgly unwarranted murder of two
women in Arizona was a resident of
Aguj.ta, Coahuila, for over two
years. Everyone who knew her de-
scribed her as a frail woman of
medium stature with blonde hair
and delicate features, looking lust
like Joan Bennett, the movie ac-
tress."
That she was nervous and high
strung and was addicted to the use
of narcotics is the general opinion
of those who knew her. But that she
could commit the crime of which
she is charged is doubted by many.
"She was too slight and delicate of
health to kill two women single
handed cut up one of the bodies,
and put the remains into two
trunks" some of her acquaintanceS
declare. "She was easily irritated,
and often let her temper get the
best of her. others affirm.
An instance is cited where she
threatened to kill two officials of
the mines at Agujita just before she
and her husband left there last
June. The doctor had been dis
charged for over two weeks, but she
refused to leave the company-own-
ed house in which they we're living.
When one of the officials came to
the house and requested her TO
move out, she slammed the door in
his face; and when two others came
back later, she is said to have ap-
peared at the door with a shot gun
