Thanksgiving DayProclamation

BY THE GOVERNOR

THE WAR CLOUDS of theworld lower darkly and thefuture appears dim and uncertain in the eastern hemisphere.No one caa foretell what theharvest of death may finallybring forth.

In the sunshine of our ownState of New Mexico the futureis illuminated by our presentprosperous conditions. In alllines of industry the past yearhas shown great advancementIn education and the thing thatmake life better and of moreworth we have made remarkableprogress. Our blessings havebeen manifold and our disad-

vantages largely the imaginingsof minds ill at ease, distorted bymalice or warped by the preju-dice of preconceived notions notin accord with the actual factsand conditions:

THEREFORE. I WILLIAMC. MCDONALD. Governor of

The TurkeyA turkey that is hatched from

an egg is of few days and fullof trouble.

tie commeth forth like a flow orand is cut down, he fleetli alsoas a shadow and continueth not.

As for the hen turkey, herday are as grass, as a flower of

the field, so she flourishuth. Inthe morning she is a live andclucketh. in the evening she is

oast into the oven.Even so it is with the gobbler.

Today he plumeth himself; he

strutteth abroad and draggethhis wing on the ground as if oneshould say, "Aha." Tomorrowhe fallcth a prey to the carver;his flesh is parted asunder andhis bones are distributed amongthe spoilers.

In his pride he eateth earn andwaxeth fat. saying to himself,"all things are made for my en-

joyment." When his fall Com-

eth there is none who remember-et- h

the day ef his triumph, andall men mock him.

The i.fn turkey thinketh in

secret she will raise a youngbrood, and layeth egg3; but whenshe is served upon a plutt;r theeater lays to, and she passethaway.

The younjc turkeys, even theli tile ones, in the spring, hidethemselves 'in the stubble andstrive against the wind andstorm, for life is sweet to littleturkeys.

But when they become big andfat, and the voice of Thanksgiv-

ing is heard in the land, sudden-

ly their clucking ceaseth andthey become a part of the people.

We thank Thee dear LordThat we can in Union meetTo worship in this house of ThineAnd at Thy Mercy Seat.While o'er the world the conflicts

rageIn wars that never cease.W thank Thee that our beauti-

ful landRemained neutral and at peace;We thank The, that our beloved

PresidentWho by his executive abilityProved worthy to rule our land.And for all those in authorityIn our own little city so fair.May thy by noble JurisdictionProve worthy of the executive

chair.We thank Thee that thy once

did call"Thy Twelve" their faithful

watch to keep;And we oak Tbee to bless Thy

ministers hereWith power to guard their sheep;Keep those in the fold safe

withinAnd bring back those whe have

strayed to sin.

We thank Thee for those person-a- llives

Whom Thy love has blessed,That they today may do their

partTo bring others to Thy breast.We thank Thee for the childrenThse li'.tlu ones of Thine.Who come to brighten our path-

waysLike Messengers divine;We thank Thee for the blessingsThou has laid at our door;And for the hope to meet in

trials,We know that Thou are nearTo hide us O'er each dark war,And that our prayers Thou'll

hear.Make us worthy Lord to walkWhere the Saints of old have

lie,"

ThanksgivingThe toil of the summer is over,

the ctops have been garnered.and it ic right and proper nowthat we should stop for a fewmoments and turn our thoughts,and render our thanks to thegreat giver of every good andperfect gift, for bounties we enjoy and the general prosperityof tho country. We would bevery indignant should any oneaccuse us of being ungratefulfor the favors accorded us; butthere is a law of nature that de-

crees that if man will not use afaculty or power, he shall notretain it, and the spirit ofthankfulness is not exercised asmuch as it should be. In thisexcited And feverish race of life,we simply snatch its many bless-

ings without stopping to thinkof the source from whence theycame, and we are slowly, butsurely losing this principle ofgratitude, and as the generalprosperity increases, we arewithdrawing more and more into the little circle of self. Aswe become more and more independent of each other, we be-

come more and more selfih, ex-

acting and ungrateful not onlytoward the Lord but toward eachother. But let Thanksgivingday remind us that we shouldbe grateful; and gratitude, likepther tman principles, comesto us by cultivation; either frompressure of circumstances orfrom self-impose- d discipline.But in these prosperous times,few of us take the trouble toimpose much self discipline, orto cultivate the noble principleof thankfulness, but give fullrein to all the selfish instincts ofthe animal nature, and especial-ly to the greed for money get-

ting; and out of this state of af-

fairs grew all the strifes of thehome and country; all the strikesand convulsions arising from thecontentions between anarchy,which attempts to extort thatwhich is not freely given, andthe only remedy that we see forthis festering state of affairs issome awful calamity, whichshall wring from us the frag-

rance of human sympathy, orsome tremendous impulse thatwill cause the people to put acheck upon the selfish propen-

sities and compel ui to acknowl-edge our mutual dependence up-

on each other as well as uponthe Lord of Heaven. .So, wel-

come to Thanksgiving Day, andlet us learn a lesson of gratitudewhich shall bring us, instead ofa curse, a blessing from our uni-

versal prosperity.

ELKS CARNIVAL IN FULL

SWING THIS WEEK

Elks' Carnival WeekYesterday, today and tomor-

row the big Elks' Carnival willbe in full swing. Never beforein the history of Clovis has any-

thing of the kind of such magni-

tude been attempted. The at-

tractions at the big 100 foottquare auditorium would be acredit to a city many timeslarger than Clovis. A visitorfrom a neighboring town thatis supposed to compare favorablyin size with Clovis, was heardto remark that his town couldnever get up anything thatwould equal it. His excuse wasthat the business men lackedthe progressiveness shown bythe Clovis merchants. Appar-ently no effort has been sparedboth by the merchants and the

Gordon Barclay's servants bad or--dera to admit no one without orders,The city was In a turmoil. With eachfresh edition of tbe newspapers thesituation of tbe conspirators becamemore serious. In the public parkseffigies of them were hanged orburned. It became necessary to keepa cordon of police about Barclay'shouse. In Scmmea' house and Sturte- -

vant's no window remained whole. Fortwenty hours these two men bad beenBarclay's guests.

Gunsdorf's great hour had comeJUjat hour for which be had plotted"all his life, and Hod for and schemedfor. He had been the leading figureIn the mob that had triod to lynchthe triumvirate In the first burst ofrage. And he found himself suddenlyat the head of all the lawless elements In the city. He was drunkwith power and a sense of his ownimpni'tance. But openly he spoke ofhla love for mankind.

Through a man friendly to him anddeep in Gunsdorf's councils, Tommylearned that the life of the man whohad adopted him and boen good to blmwas In danger. His house was to bestormed over the heads of the po-

lice, and himself hanged or torn topieces, aa might happen.

All thvilr differences fled fromTommy's mind, and he rememberedonly their mutual affection; so he hurried to the old familiar house and waspresently admitted.

"It's just to say a few words," saidTommy, and be told Barclay whatGiunsdort was planning for that veryday.

"We'll go to Gull Island," Barclaysaid simply, "till this thing has blownover. I suppose you are not unhappy

"You'll need somebody to keepbouse for you at Qull Island," saidTommy. He was too moved to referto what he bad just learned. "1 11

"Have you married her?"Tommy looked very manly when be

aid that be bad. And Barclay smiledone of bla old-tim- e dazzling smiles.

"And I think," he said finally, "thatyou had better get out of this houseas quickly as you can. I'm going, too.I can t afford to be a hero,"

They shook hands and parted, neverto meet In this life again.

Late that night Tommy and Celestiaand Freddie tbe Ferret, whom Tommywas trying to train to be hla valet,caught the last boat for Bartell'a, onMartell's Island, from which Gull s Is-

land msy be reached In an hour In afast launch. They had had no wordof what had happened In New York.

Vnagiaph. Com pomready for tbe master the year round,the triumvirate, if only they couldreach It, would be as safe from mobviolence aa on a ship at sea.

A ateep climb, a wild expanse ofstar-li-t moor, little ancient trees grow-ing very close together, a atrong per-fume of bayberry bushes, of aweetfern and rosea, and then the

softly lighted hall, withmany menservanta, cool, delightfulnight, aoundly slept these were Ce-le- st

la's first Impression of Qull Island.In tha morning ahe went with her

husband to tha eastern cliffs, andahe bad her first look at tha oceansullenly tumbling, whlte-mane- d un-

der a gray and sullen sky.

Soon after Tommy's departure, andbefore tha triumvirate could completetheir arrangementa for tbe retreat toGull's Island, the streets contiguousto Gordon Barclay'a house and thestreets In the neighborhood begun tofill with men and women who lookedlike the dregs of the city.

But It waa immediately in front ofthe house that the crowd waa thick-est and most menacing.

There waa no actual violence untilQunBdorf arrtvod. He, high above thecrowd on an improvised rostrum,roared for blood and vengeance.

Weapons began to flash.Then the police tried to disperse tha

mob, and, after hard fighting andthe breaking of many heads, wereoverpowered, passed over and aweptaside. Then the crowd began to awarmover the tall Iron gates and the spikedIron fence.

There was a fountain a bronzeyouth, arms akimbo, who with puffedcheeks blew a fine spray of water. Himcertain stray violent men pried fromhis base, and used, swinging him bythe feet and arms, to batter downthe solid, heavy front door of thehouse.

This done, the leaders rushed in,

and for a moment were halted by theuncompromising dignity and gran-

deur of the hall. Facing them was aflight of marble steps. At the top ofthese stood Gordon Barclay. Whenthe crowd recognized him they yelledlike a pack of wolves. The cornersof his mouth twitched with a kind ofglassy contempt. He turned slowlyand passed through a doorway thatwas just behind him, slammed thedoor shut and locked it. Not till thendid he show a sign of fear or haste.Now, however, he ran swiftly throughthe library, out at the other end,and down a back stair to the servicecourtyard. Here, headed for tallwooden gates In a tall brick wall overwhich wisteria was festooned, stooda powerful limousine car. The en-

gine was purring. On the box sat twobrave and handsome young men of theBarclay livery. In the body of thecar Riit Scmmos and. Sturtevant. Stur-tevant looked furiously angry. Semmeslooked seasick.

At the gates stood two footmen readyto fling them open. Most of thecrowd was at the front of the house.

Meanwhile the bronze boy of thefountain came up the front stair, bat-

tered head first, and waa used to ramdown the door behind which Barclayhad been seen to disappear.

The first man to enter the long, richlibrary was Gunsdorf. He gave onlya glance at the open panel which dis-

closed the Inviting interior of a safe,or at the greenbacks and yellowbackaof all denominations which the wilyfinancier bad acattered about theroom, on tables, on chairs, on tbefloor such things were for children.

Raging for his comrades to followhim, Ounsdorf rushed the length of tharoom, found the back stair down whichIlarclay bad retreated, and came In

less time than it takes to tell It tothe service court at the back of thehouse.

But nobody followed Gunsdorf. Tbeopen safe, the scattered bills, stoppedmen aa a solid cliff might have done.Vengeance was forgotten, and tbecrowd began to loot.

When Gunsdorf reached the courtyard the gatea were half open. Onatrong ateel brackets fixed to theback of the car were two spare rims,with Inflated tires. These formed aresting place for Gunsdorf's feet anda grip for hla hands. But the firstforward leap of the car, followed bya halr-raltiln- swerve to tbe left, al-

most threw blm off.Shots were fired. The car went over

something soft that screamed, andthat remained in the street after thecar had passed and thwacked like anewly landed flsb.

Gunsdorf stood upon the spare tiresand clung to them and the lights ofNew York whirled by.

Tbe scene of the riot waa far behind. Up Fifth avenue the car raced.It was that hour before dark whentbe summer traffic was light, and theface of the great Gordon Barclay atthe window of tha car waa enough tomake even tbe boldest traffio copthink twice. .

Through Central park, out Seventhavenue, across McComb's dam bridge.up Jerome avenue, through Fordbamto the Polbam parkway, into New Ro- -

cbelle and out, through Mamaroneck,

THE CLOVIS NEWS

Kye, Portcbester, the car flew. Andllko grim death, bla purpose neverswerving, Gunsdorf clung to the sparetires. IIIb feat waa worthy of abettor. Vengeance la no man's. "Vengeance is mine, saith tbe Lord."

The old Ashing town of Giddlngswas dark as sin. The financiers, con-ferring, had determined to make this,rather than Mlssaquld, their point ofdeparture They would be to lateto catch the last boat for Bartell'a.Giddlngs, with MisBaquld, formed thebase of a triangle, of which Gull Islandwas the apex. Therefore, If theycould here charter some craft to con-vey tbem to the Island, there wouldbe a great aavlng of time.

The car ran half way through thelittle town, turned a right angle anddescended to the wharves, and here,In tbe darkness, stopped. Gunsdorfwaa the first to alight. He slippedInto the shelter of a shed thatsmelled of flsb and flung himself to thaground.

Why didn't be shoot down tha finan-ciers aa they alighted from tha car?Hla handa were so cramped from grip-ping tha tires he oould not have heldor pointed a gun; they were shakingIlka leaves of poplar treea In a wind.He waa in acute physical pain.

But, lying on the ground, writhingwith exhaustion, be began to recoverlittle by little from the ordeal throughwhich he had passed, and be was ableto keep an eye on the car and on theshadowy men whom he hated, and tolisten to what they bad to say to eachother and to the fisherman whom theyrouted from his bed, and who finally,for a prodigious sum of money, con-

sented to venture out In the easterlystorm that waa brewing and carrythem and their luggage to Gull Is-

land.The name of his little schooner was

the Mary Nye. She was at the endof the long wharf, half unloaded. No,he had given up fishing. There waamore money in coasting. They couldstart at once; he would have to gethla crew together two men and a boy.Had they really come all the wayfrom New York? They must be bardset Better come to the house. He'drout the misses out of bed, and she'dgive them coffee.

Barclay gave some orders to bisdriver, and much money; also he gavemuch money to the other man on thebox, and he shook hands with themboth and thanked them for their dovo-tio- n

to them, and told them that theirfuture would be his care.

Then the car went one way, and thefinanciers and the fishermen went an-

other, and prosently Gunsdorf doubledhalf over, like a man crippled withrheumatism, rose from hla hidingplace, and hobbled off In a third.

The Mary Nye lay in the lee of thelong wharf near the end. She was a

dirty little shin. Amldshlp was ahold, formerly used aa a container forcodfish; It still smelled of tbem. Thehatchway giving access to this boldwas open, and Into it Gunsdorf de-

scended. It seemed to blm, after ex-

ploring the schooner from stern tostem, to offer the best means of con-

cealment The little cabin aft wascleaner. It would be the chclce of thetriumvirate for their own quarters.

Gnnsdorf was half crazy with fa-

tigue. In a far corner of the boldhe found a pile of aacking and flunghimself down on them. But there waasomething bard among them that hurthim. He groped for this, and foundthat It waa a powerfulaugur, fixed with en inch and a halfbit

He pushed It to one side and in amoment waa sound asleep,

e e

Barclay waa restless; the cabin waastuffy and verminous; be preferred thedeck and the open air. So It hap-pened that In passing the main hatch,in a lull of the wind, he heard a soundof a man snoring. He had left Semmesand Sturtevant complaining of the dis-

comforts of the cabin. Captain Nyewaa at the wheel, the two men andthe boy forward.

"Here." thought Barclay, "we've gota stowaway aboard. Some poor

of a wharf rat, 1 suppose."He strolled aft"There's someone asleep In tha

main hold," he said."Tha bell there ial""Yon can bear him anorlng if you

listen In the hatchway.""Well, let him anore."Gradually It dawned upon Barclay

that the preaeuce on the schooner ofa man unknown and unvouched forwas not pleasant. So he descendedInto the bold, struck a match, and hada look at the sleeper's face.

Then very softly he returned to thedock, half closed the hatch, and,thrusting his bead through the openIng that remained, be called loudly:"Wake up, there!"

The snores ceased and were fol-

lowed by a kind of sleepy groaning,"Gunsdorf," called Barclay in a

sharp, incisive voice, "can you hearme?"

"I hear you.""What are you doing on thla boat?'No answer."Well, you'll not be able to do any

Gunsdorf'a answer waa to fire twowild shots from bis automatic. Bar-clay alammed tbe batch to and succeeded In fastening It so that It couldnot be opened from below.

Then he went once more to the cap-tain and talked to htm for aome timeIn an undertone. After that be wakedSturtevant and Semmea to tell themwhat had happened.

"He's been Insane for some time,'said Sturtevant. "He wouldn't atopat anything. I hope to God be hasn'tgot a stick of dynamite with him. He'dthink nothing of blowing himself topieces If we went, too."

Gunsdorf bad no stick of dynamite.He had only an automatlo with a fewcartridges In the magazine, and an Insane, murderous rage and hatred Inbis breast.

So they'd land somewhere, wouldthey? He'd be carried back to thestarting point, would he? Not if heknew it. His ride on the back of tbeautomobile waa all In vain, waa It?He'd show 'em damn em!

And his hands, their strength re-

freshed by hatred, Insanity and sui-

cidal daring, sought and found thebig augor and began to bore a holethrough the bottom of the schooner.He would drown, but so would they!

After a time the edge of the hole hewas boring became damp, water beganto trickle from the bit, then to spitand hiss, then the bit went clearthrough, and when he had withdrawnIt water spouted upward as from agarden hose.

Gunsdorf laughed aloud, and at oncebegan to bore a second hole. Whenhe had nearly flnlBhed a third the bitbroke short off, and Gunsdorf cursed.But the Mary Nye was taking in agood deal of water, and the failureof the bit only seemed to have post- -

poned the time when the sea shouldclose over her.

But In tbe book of fate the MaryNye waa not destined to perish by wa-

ter alone. Among her heterogeneouscoastwise cargo which had not beenunloaded, from the small bold back ofthe main hold, were two sacks of un-

slaked lime. After a time a trickleof water found Its way to these, andthey began to smoke.

Tha first person to ba aware of thesmoke waa Gunsdorf. It Altered intothe main bold before it found Ita wayto the deck. Gunsdorf at the moment,with a kind of diabolical eagerness,waa trying to calculate the rapiditywith which tha water waa rising. Thiswas a difficult matter, owing to themotion of the vessel.

When be smelled tbe amoka hisheart almoat atopped beating, ba waafrightened. Water and dynamite hadno terror for him, but death by Arehad always been his nightmare. Hewas like a man waking after a greatdrunkenness, during which, let us say,he baa committed aome crime whichhis frenzied brain at the time of Hacommission had seemed a reasonableand even a meritorious thing to do,but the memory of which makea thasame brain, the fumes of alcohol gone,a prey to the most awful terror andremorse.

In short, the man bad recoveredfrom his murderous and suicidal mad-ness. ' He waa sane a rational crea-ture, who realized what he bad done,and that the deed was in vain, andthat he alone would be destroyedby It

What madnesa to suppose that sucha man aa Barclay would atay by the

Mary Nye tl.i she went down? Shecarried a boat for Just such an emergency. But be, Gunsdorf, while theothers rowed merrily off, would beleft In the dark.

In the first moment of reasoning itdid not occur to him that the shipwas on fire. Rather be thought thattbe smoke was some devilish deviceof the triumvirate to asphyxiate blm.

From the eastern cliffs, which received the onslaught of the open sea,Tommy and Celestia walked to thoselower western cliffs whose feet arewashed by the less strenuous waterswhich flow between Gull Island andthe mainland, and here, shelteredfrom the wind, they seated themselves, ostensibly to admire tha view,but really to admire each other.

Tbe view consisted of gray water,a vast expanse of It in commotion,and of a vast expanse of small graysky; and, many mllea distant, a smallschooner beating alowly up to tbe Island.

"They must be cooking a bonnybreakfast," said Tommy, "Judgingfrom tha smoke."

"Judging by the smoke," said Ce-

lestia, "they've got more than onestove."

"By George yon are right!" saidTommy. Then, a moment later, withexcitement: "She'a on Are. That 'awhy the davlta are swung outboard.They are waiting till the last momentto lower a boat Thank the Lordthey've got one! I suppose tbey wantto get Into the lee of the Island. Itmust be pretty rough out there for askiff. They're not making muchheadway, though. She looka very lowIn the water. Probably leaks likea sieve, and the Are keeps them frougetting to tbe pumps."

"Can't we do anything to help?""Not unless the launch baa come

back from Bartolls. She went overearly for newspapers and supplies.Let's go see."

So they raced off to tha landing.The launch had not yet returned, andthore was neither sight nor sound ofher. A catboat without even a mastwaa drawn up on ways, and the onlyother craft at the landing was a

skiff, so low iu the waterthat she could not have lived In therough water outside of the harbor.

"We can't do any good," said Tommywith a great deal of regret In hisvoice. Let's hurry back and see theend of It."

They stopped at the house for Aeldglasses, of which there were severalpairs in a drawer or the hall table, andhurried back to the western cliffs.

In his explorations of the night before Qunsdorf had noted the sacks oflime raised from the floor of the holdto keep them from any chance water.And It dawned upon him it waa hisown fault that they had got wet.and generated enough heat to set theship on Are.

Captain Nye had kept hla courageup, and hold grimly to the task oftrying to make head against the Areand against the water rising in thehold. ,

Through what remained of thenight, and through nil the long, anx-

ious morning, he and hlB two men, aid-

ed by Barclay, Semmns and Sturte-vant, had fought like heroes againstthe fire and water.

It was discouraging to have to cartinto the burning after-hol- d so much ofthe water that they blistered theirhands pumping It out of It. At onetime It looked as If they were goingto get the Are under control. In Hintevent they could have kept the vesselafloat indefinitely.

Captain Nyc had suggested bringingGunsdorf on dock and putting himto work, and the effort had been made.The man was disarmed as he cameup, wet to the knees and choking withsmoke. But at the sight of Ilarclayall his hate returned. He would notwork; they couldn't make him.

"Why the hell should I." said he,when I took thd trouble to bore the

holes that are sinking her and to startthe- Are that's burning ber?"

All regarded the man with a horror that was akin to awe. Anger suc-

ceeded this."Is that the truth?" asked Captain

Nye?""Yes."Captain Nye motioned to bla two

men. They seized Gunsdorf, and aftera short struggle cast him back Intobla prlaon and battened down thehatch.

'There's no room for blm In theamall boat," aaid Captain Nye; "andthere's no more mischief he can dodown below."

It was only the fatigue of those whowere trying to save ber that even-tually aettled the fata of the Mary Nye.Her captain called the party together.

"Thanks, all bands," ba said."You've done all men could do. We'llneed what strength we've got left toget us ashore. 80 let ber burn."

The boy, who had been at tbe wheelever since the discovery of the Are,waa relieved by Captain Nye. Theboy promptly lay down on the deck,and the othera followed suit, restingthemselves against the time of em-barking In tbe small boat

At last the moment came when Cap-tain Nye thought best to abandon hisship. His eyes Ailed with tears.

"Don't grieve, captain," aaid Bar-clay; "I'll pay you ber value Ave timesover. You're a good man."

Aa they were about to step intothe boat that bumped alongside, butlittle below the level of the sinkingdeck, Barclay aaid curtly: "I can'tleave Gunsdorf to die like that'

He himself unfastened the hatch.Gunsdorf had climbed up the ladder tokeep out of water aa long as pos-sible. He was more dead than alive.Tbey had to lift blm Into the boat

She rode very low in the water and

rolled precariously when ah haddrifted out of the lea of the doomed

achooner. and when she bit the rough

water she rolled quietly over and float-

ed bottom up.

Tbe shock of the cold water revivedOunsdorf bo that be did not at oncedrown. He succeeded In getting hold

of the bout and keeping bis head outof water.

Over the Inverted bows Harclaycrawled out of the water and layaprawllng on the arched, slippery bot-

tom of the boat. From this advanta-geous position he looked about eager-

ly to see whom he could help. Ofthat whole party only Barclay and thaboy could swim. Sturtevant andSemmes, it they ever came to the lor--

face, were never seen again by mor-

tal eyes. The boy swam to tho boatand climbed up on it, with Harcluy'shelp.

Then for the first time Barclay sawthe agonized face of Gunsdorf. Theman's grip was falling, and lie knewIt. At a little distance Captain Nyefloated fuce down, His two mento the surface, came together, clinchedand died, each trying to use the other as a ladder by which to climb nutof the water.

Ilarclay looked for a while coldlyinto Gunsdorf'a face, and then lookedaway.

"For God s sake help me!"Burrlay'a expression did not clutiiRe. (

He did not look at Gunsdorf."For Christ's sake!"Then the llttlo boy, his teeth chat

tering, said:" "Taln't pretty to see men drown,"

and bi'gnn to blubber.With an oath Ilarclay reached for

Gunsdorf and tried to draw him outof the water. It was a dlflkult andprecarious operntion.

"Hteudy! Pon t get rattled!" saidBarclay. "You, boy, steady her asmuch as you can."

And Barclay worked with all hisstrength to save the wretched nisn'alife.

There was a strange look In Gunsdorf ' face. It wna no longer hatred.There wns hope In II; but, mora thanthat, (here wub something that wasakin to love. A miracle hud beenwrought in the evil man's heart.

Ilarclay trying to save Mm!"You're a good man," he suid. "I

thought you were the devil.""My man," said Barclay, "I can't get

ings; 1 had the same feeling aboutmen like you. I guess that's mostlywhat's the matter with this world, anyway.

Holding tightly to Gunsdorf's hand,he still managed to keep the anarchist's head out of water.

All this Tommy and Celestiasaw from the top of tbe cllffa. Theyhad recognized the two chief actoraIn the drama, and Tommy's suspenseover the fate of the man who hadbeen good to him waa awful to see.It wss that white, quiet auspenae thattranscends all outcry and lamentation.

"All right," said Qunsdorf. And halet go of Barclay'a band and sank likea atone.

In fact,little accurate data along tbla linebaa hitherto been available to thosewho wished to buy meats on a rationalbasis. As a result, a few well-know-

cuts are generally In demand, andthe remainder of the carcass It a"drug on the market." To such anextreme baa this condition developedthat a portion of the carcass (loin and

Not only are the foregoing state-ments true of meat producers andconsumers eascntiul to the eutlre beef-catt-

public on the other, that a moreIntelligent understanding of the dif-

ducer to operate with greater confi-

dence and economy. At the same timeIt would effect a tremendous savingto the consumer himself by morenearly equalising the market valuesof the various cuts and by enablingthe retailer to operate wjth a smallermargin of proilt, thereby helping toolve the high cost of living, In so

in the living animals to make Ittough; but this Is larking In the fla-

vor to be found In tbe tougber cuts.Now, In tbe matter ot cutting beef,

many butchers differ as to method,and It will repay one to make a sur-vey of butcher shops In ber own andneighboring localities. Having visitedthem all. noticed tbe degree of cleanli-ness with wbicb tbe meal is bandiedand maJe a comparison ol ruts andprices, aa well as quality, tbb house-keeper can then make ber choice olahops and patronize tbe one at whichabe geta tbe best value for her money.A butcher la ordinarily willing andglad to Instruct bis customers In thedifferent cuts of meat, to suggest econ-

omies and methods of (rookingbest adapted to each cut. Ha usu-

ally possesses a good deal of knowl-edge concerning cooking and season-ing, and will be glad to Impart thisknowledge to any customer who seemsto want It. For Instance, on butch-er will suggest what be calls a "bladeroast" in place of a prime rib roast,a cut which baa blade of gristle be-

tween the meat and tbe outside fat.Tbla he will trim out, bone and rollthe meat, giving a solid roast, with-out waste, and tbe balance of tbemeat around the ends of tbe bonescan be utilized for stewing r cas-serole cooking. He will recommendt fancy rolled brisket for corning In-

stead of tbe more expensive cut fromthe rump, which, while certainly ten-der and well flavored, has a largeamount of waste. He will tell you,

when you order ham burg steak, toadd a half cupful of breadcrumba andtwo or three tablespoontuls ot waterto your bamburg ateak to make Itlighter and Improve the flavor. All

these hints bave been gleaned fromwomen who were Interested In tbesubject of marketing and were notafraid to let the butcher know It

Having decided upon the ahop,make It a point to learn all tbe cutaot meat the butcher lias, as butchersdiffer, aa before auggested. In tbeway they cut the meat. There Is awide divergence In the way tbe rump

of beet Is cut, for Instnnce, and tbeway In which lamb and veal are cutup is ulso a matter of the butcher'sopinion. To Illustrate, one butcherIn a small town cut lamb chops fromthe forequarter, the first beingtrenched, and those near tbe shoul-

braising. Not a block away was abutcher who sold the entire rack,from the first chop tfp to the shoul-der, as French chops, at 86 cents perpound, and recognized no differencein the quality or tbe meat ThereIs also another point to consider, andthat la the way the meat Is trimmed,some butchers trimming closely be-

fore weighing, in which case the meatmay be well worth a cent or two apound more, and others weighing firstand trimming afterward.

Marketing should be done In person,lo this rule there Is no exception. ItIs for tbe purchasor herself to seewhether tlu chops be large or small,the slice of ham or tbe proper cut andthick liens and what the proportion orwaste in the piece or meat she Is pur-chasing. It is too much to expect ora busy marketnian, who has hundredsor customers, to put himself In theplace of such a customer and giveber exactly what she would have se-

lected herself. The only sure way orgetting exactly what Is best for eachparticular family is for tbe house-keeper herseir to Inspect and selectthe' meat and see It cut off.

As to the purchasing or pieces ormeat which will answer for more thanone dinner, such as roasta, It shouldbe found from experience Just howmany pounds are needed for the twoor three meals to be supplied, andthat much always purchased. It Issometimes economy to buy a large cutof meat A small roast costing 60 or76 cents might be enough for onlyone dinner, where a larger one, cost-ing $1, would furnish meat for twodinners at an average cost of 60cents, a saving worth while. It baabeen found better economy by expe-rienced cooks and caterers to plan theleft-over-s In this way than to buywhatever the marketman offers, andthen utilize any left-over- s there maybe. Tbe same rule applies to chickenor any other sort or meat.

It is the center ofpopulation of a large agriculturaldistrict and great quantities offarm products are stored hereor shipped from here. It islikewise the trading, point ofthis big district and by reason ofits geographical location andrailroad facilities is destined tocontinue to enjoy this business.This trade in itself would sup-

port a city of the present size ofClovis and as the country

as it is doing at a rapidpace, the town will continue togrow. In addition to this, Clo-

vis has a monthly railroad payroll of at least $75,000. This isno insignificant sum and thegreater portion of this is ex-

pended here. To the investorwe would ask where in thiscountry could you find a betterplace to invest than in Clovisproperty or cheap Curry Countyland ? Its as safe as governmentbonds. Investigate.

There is not a vacant businesshouse in Clovis, the last on theside streets, having recentlybeen occupied. The same istrue of residence houses andthere are no few under construc-tion. The demand for rentalhouses is so great that when oneis vacated another tenant isready to move in. A better evi-

dence of prosperity could not begiven.

The first real touch of wintercaine Saturday night when a coldnorther sent the mercury downbelow the freezing point. Thefirst killing frost of the seasonalso occurred last week, Zerotemperatures were reportedthroughtout the northwest.

Everything: has advanced butthe subscription price to thenewspapers.

If it was left to the discretionof the Texans, there weuld beno closed season on shootingMexicans.

If you fail to get the News-don- 't

always blame the post-

master.' Possibly yourhas expired.

This week is the final chapterof the "Goddess." It hasproven to be a most interestingstery from start to finish.

Shooting Americans acrossthe international boundry lineby Mexicans is their most im-

proved system of target practice.

The old fashioned man whopointed with pride to his chickencoop in the back yard nas beenreplaced by the man who pointsto his garage.

The first fall of the beautifulthis winter visited this sectionWednesday morning. It was inthe nature of a norther and wasnot considered beautiful by any-

one except the coal man.

We sometimes treat strangersmore politely and courteouslythan we do our dear ones whogive their lives for us. "Com-

pany manners, tableware andlinen" are perhaps not necessaryall the time, but what is goodfor strangers is good for ourloved ones at home.

The Newspapers are the losersas a result of most all advertis-ing schemes worked in a town.The merchant usually has justso much to spend for advertis-ing and if he spends it for afence sign, movie slide, cookbook ad or carnival booth, thereis less expended for legetimatenewspaper advertising.

Of all our national holidaysnone is more universally or morejoyously celebrated than that ofThanksgiving Day. Though ofNew England origin and formany years confined almost ex-

clusively to that section, it hasslowly bnt surely extended itselfall over our great country.

We have made of Thanksgiv-ing a day of gratitude all

a day the accom-

paniments of which are merryas they should be. The reunionof families and of friends, thefeasting and the laughter,even the legend of the ennobledAmerican bird, all combine tomake of the day somethinggenuine and religiously beautiful. There is the strain of theTimbrel. Never was a greaternational holiday, never one moreperfect in its spirit. It is in itself one of the things to bethankful for to the Power whichhas so blessed so vast a land.

The Deming Headlight issueda splendid 24 page Liberty Belledition which was devoted tothe history of the Liberty Belland its visit there on the 16th,which was made the occasionfor a big celebration. Demingis one of the best towns in thestate and the Headlight is strongin the booster class.

An exchange says featherleggod chickens are all the gothis year. That's nothing, wehave them here in Clovis withfur about the shoe tops.

OUR PUBLIC FORUMV.-- E. P. Ripley

On Relations of Railroads and PeoplThe Industrial leader of thU nation are talklnc to

the public face to face through the columns of this paper.

Thu time was when if a corporation had anything 87to the people they aent a hired hand, whlsperod It through

a lawyer or employed a lobbyist to explain It to the legis-

lature, but the men who know and the men who do axe

now talking orer the fence to the man who plows.

When the leading business men of this nation get

"back to tho soil" with their problems, strife and dissen-

sion will disappear, for when men look into each other'sfaces and smtlo there is a better day coming.

silo whiskey.Yes? Well, there are a lot of uswho are not so well acquaintedwith silos and ensilage and allthe methods of procedure there-with, and "silo whisky" is a newone on us. It sure does take adry territory to get next to allthe new drinks and the mannerof obtaining them. And thegrand jury is to meet next Mon-

day, too. But what are thosesix men going to do in a caselike this? Maybe our own dep-

uty revenue collector will get aline on it, but how can he pinchanv hoy for making whiskywhen the whisky makes itself?

John Ellis, known to everyonein Lebanon as "Zeb" Ellis, waspicked up by the local policeTuesday evening stewed to theeyebrows. He went to jail forthe night, and in Justice Trow-brigde- 's

court Wednesday morn-ing he gave out the informationthat he bought no liqour at all

that he got drunk on "silowhisky." He was fined a dollarand costs, and while he was ar-

ranging to stay his assessment,he explained the makings of thejew cup of joy.

Farmers will now have to keepa watch over their silos . the.tsame as they do over their appleorchards and melon patches, aridHome others, who would preferstealing their booze to payingfrom $1.25 to $1. 50 per quart forthis drug store stuff.

Down in the bottom of the siloaccording to Ellis, after the

of the contents start,is to be found u clear whiteliquid which has the ordinary"squirrel" whisky backed so faroff the bar that it is never calledfor. From three silos, Zeb says,sixteen quarts of this delectableand paralyzing thirst-quenche- r

were obtained thut he knows of.And this is silo whisky.

We showed the above clippingto "Uncle Jim." who said: "ByHeck! I never 'spected to buildone of them air things, but nowI'll sure do 'er."

SNIPER'S GRIM WORK

Sharpshooter's Bullet Has Spe-

cial Formidableness.

For Hours the Sniper Patiently Waitfor the Opening of Loophole

or the Sight ofa Cap.

British Heudnuorters. It would beInteresting, If such a calculation werepossible, to clobsify the agencies towhich the total dally casualties aredue. Whatever the statistics mightprove, the most fnrmids )le agency isBtill the sniper's bullet.

it is possible, perhaps even proba-ble, that the majority of HritlHb cas-ualties would be found to be attributedto shell fire. It might be found thatalong a particular line of trench thebulk of the men are knocked out byhand grenudrs. But tho sharpshoo-ters bullet has a special formidable-dch-

of Its own such as Is enjoyed byno other weapon.

The shell, tho rifle grenude, thetrench mortur at least give somawarning to the ear; the bomb and theaeriul torpedo are visible as they comethrough tho air in daytime, and mayfrequently be dodged. The "listen-ers" are generally able to give somewarning as to the operations and prog-ress of hostile miners. The bulletalone is absolutely unobtrusive, Instan-taneous, and unceasing.

one mny tuke a certuiu amount ofliberties, ub it were, with shell fire.A single man, or even two men, pro-

vided that they are not obviously peo-

ple of importance, may risk a walkalong a stretch of ground In view ofthe enemy's guns, simply because ItIs not worth a gunner's while to ihootat every individual enemy he sees.

No such familiarity is safe with asniper. He is always on the lookoutfor unconsidered trifles, and all themore ready to tire that his ammuni-tion is so cheap and plentiful.

This static trench warfare baa large-ly curtailed the activities of the oldtype of snipor of the sniper, that isto say. who concealed himself In someneat piece of cover and thence, withthe aid of telescopic sights, picked offindividuals at a long range. And this,for two reasons.

In the first place, as soon as thetwo armies realized that trench war-fare was likely to last for months,they set to work very naturally toelaborate their defenses, and havelargely defeated the sniper proper bythe very elaboration and multiplicityof their communication trenches. And,secondly, the Immobility of the fronthas meant that very many of thesniper's haunts have gradually becomefound out and are so carefullywatched as to be almost untenable.' The old sniper has thus been forcedmore and more into the background,

nd Buds It Increasingly difficult toget anything like a good day's bag.

The other afternoon I was wliatwo snipers when they at last spotteda German aunnlng himself In a leld.The distance was made out to be Justover 2.000 yards. Each of my com-panions was a big gameshot, and they each fired a couple ifrounds at the enemy.

The butlers must have gone uncom-fortably near the umrk. for, after oaenhot the man stared about him with a

puzibid movement, but he stalked off

unhit. Tins was, of course, an ex-

treme range, but the marksmen weresceationally good, and their failure

to tlnd anything but so unpromisinga targut shows clearly enough thatthe only possible marks are frequentlyset at virtually Impossible ranges.

Hut, wttn the temporary extinction

oi th sniper proper, ther'j has grownp s hofct of trench snipers, men who

IN THE ALPS

are constantly firing at from 20 to 300yards or whatever may be the ridicu-lously smull distance separating theopposing lines. One of the bewil-dering features of the war is the inllypublication of long lists at a timewhen there la nothing sufficiently Im-

portant to Justify a British com-

munique. Ilchind Ibe rows of sand-bags which face one another with suchapparent piirposefulnesa. there are thesnipers who v.ill spend hours wait-ing for the opening of a loophole, thesight of a cap or a hand incautiouslyraised above the parapet, the hoistingof a periscope, a shovel anythingwhich may betoken the least undueactivity.

There is a constant pitting of pa-

tient vlgllunce against Ignorance, care-lessness, or the sheer recklessnessborn of physical fatigue. The strainof being under shell fire may be moraacute while it lasts, hut in the Ion;run, it Is the unlntermittent crack ofthe bullet which Jars the nervous sys-

tem most permanently.A 3ati, whom I will cull "A," was

admittedly one of the tirt half dozenrllla shots In Great ilrltuln. In theearly days of the war his specialvalue as a rapid llrer during the Ger-

man attacks lu masses was great."A" was luter put in a machine-su- n

section, and wu finally killed whilegoing to fetch water for the guu.That, surely, was a job which mighthave been detailed to a less valuableman. It would seem to be only com-

mon prudence that first-clas- s shotsshould be carefully husbunclnil.

SEES 11 HORRORS

Stretcher Bearer Gives Impres

sions of Life at Front.

Is Nesrly Overcome by 8lght of FirstOperation Till Given Slap by Bur-

geon Dare Not Tell Men

Truth.

Vlllers-Cotteret- We had just leftthe hospital and bad reached the sta-tion. We were exchanging glances otjoy and shaking bands, saying "Paris!We are going to see Paris again." Thetrain was waiting on a aiding. Weclimbed into It; the hospital attendants placed us In our seats.

There I beard a conversation thatstruck me more than has any othersince the beginning of the war. Onof the soldiers in our carriage, doubt-less In a confidential mood that day.began to relate the Impressions ot hislife as a military hospital attendant- -

"It was In the early days of the wr.I had received a commission asstretcher bearer In a hospital at Nice.The first wounded arrived; long trainswere filled with them; they bad lainon the straw of the cars throughoutthe Interminable Journey acrossFrance In slow military trains, whichwere constantly delayed. Many diedon the way; others were landed hereand there In heaps. How feverishlywe had to work; there was not a minute to be lost.

'1 remember the terrible slap thehead surgeon gave me the first day heentered the operating room, when Iwas ordered to hold a wounded soldier whose leg was being amputated.The odor, the cruel sight of the opera-

tion, caused mo to turn as white asdeath, and I was about to faint. Thatblow brought me quickly to mysenses. I have seen worse sightssince!

"We Bpetii some terrible momentsof anguish there. We had no antitetanus serum; we had written anatelegraphed everywhere for it, but thehospitals which had It kept It jealously and It was Impossible to obtainany.

'I recall one of the flneBt men I

have ever known, a charming com-rade, who was wounded In the footHis wound was not serious; at theend of two weeks It had healed. Thenone night he felt a stiffness In bitneck; his mind began to wander, hismuscles to contract. He was donefor. All we could do was to relievehis suffering.

"Whenever a patient had an attackof this nature we dared not tell himwhat It was. He was sent to a spe-

cial hospital; it wasn't a hospital. Itwas a morgue. He went there to die.

"finally, one day we heard thatserum rould be procured at a fantas-tic price In Italy. The doctor Immediately requisitioned the swiftest automobiles ho could find In Nice. Thenext day we hnd serum and tetanusdisi. Mea red.

'The recollection of this period Isnot more terrlhlo than that of thedays I spent in Arras as stretcherbearer during the fierce combats otNotre Dame de Ixirctte. I was therea month gathering the dead andwounded; witnessing the most terri-ble mutilations; my ears filled withthe groans of men. The work washard; we had to carry the men swayon our backs, for the approaches weretoo narrow to permit of the use ofstretchers. More than one died onmy bark. .

1 am old; I'm forty-six- . I was takenfrom the trenches, and 1 am now oneof the conductors of this train ofwounded

'Day before yesterday we had awounded soldier whose head was amass of bandages, with a little boleIn the place of his mouth. Anotherhospital attendant and I were curiousenough to raise his bandage. His tagIndicated that his nose and the lowerpart of his face had been torn awayby the splinter of a shell. By luckhe had not Inst bin sight. His woundshad been clenned and disinfected; apiece of skin had been removed fromhis back and applied to his face; Inthis a round hole was made throughwhich he was fad, and anotherthrough which he breathed. Liquidfood was given him by means of arubber tube.

'And those poor unfortunates whoselimbs have been amputated! I sawone whose two arras and a leg badbeen cut off. He had received morethan 200 shell splinters: the greaterpart were small, like plnheads."

As we listened to this man, sad andserious, a fine tall Moroccan, who waswounded, got up from his seat. Hiseyes were filled with tears and hestarted to talk with fierce energy:

"Why French take care bochewounded? After war they go home-h- ave

many chlldron; begin war againwith children, and war no good.French stupid. Roches, kill all, allbad men. When no more boches, nomore war. That good."

BUILDING STEEL CARS

WORK THAT REQUIRES FINE

SKILL AND MACHINERY.

Immense Shears That Cut ThroughQuartsr-lne- h Plate With Ease-Thou- sands

of Rivets Used onEvery Carrisge.

The building In which steel box carsire constructed for a leading easternrailroad the Altoona Steel Car shop-co- vers

the space ot a large city squaresod looks as though it had been builtto be the mammoth of all conventionballs. The visitor's first Impression Is

that he has entered a boiler factory.This Is because every car Is put to-

gether with 6,100 rivets and everyrivet is driven home with a rattle ofblows from a pneumatlo riveting tool

unquestionably one ot the most suc-

cessful noise-makin- devices ever in-

vented.Someone with a taste for figures has

calculated that on a busy day tho riveting tools in this building strike

Impacts upon resounding steel,or 25 to 30 per second throughout theworking hours.

A stoel box car from the trucks upthat is, the underframe, body and

root is built practically altogether otriveted steel plates.

TbeBe plates aro first moved by over--

bead cranes to the shearing machines,of which there are several of differentsizes. Suspended in chains, so thatthoy may be swung and turned withthe least possible expenditure of hu-

man effort, the plates are seized bygangs ot mon, who, combining skillwith brawn, guide them between theblados of the shears, where they arecut into the proper shapes. The larg-

est of the shears can make acut in a quarter-inc- h steel plate aboutas easily as a tailor snips three inchesfrom a piece of cloth.

Next the rivet holes are punched.On the longest pieces this is done onthe "multiple punch," a wonderful machine which bandies four pieces ofwork at once and can make as manyas 160 boles through a half-inc- steelplate on every movement.

I CHARACTER THE GREAT POINT VMatter Worth Consideration by Men

Who Occupy Positions That En-ta- ll

Degree of Responsibility.

One of the railroads had a bad collision recently. The conductor, engineer and fireman of an extra train allforgot about a regular passengertrain, the schedule ot which, theyknew perfectly well, and ran Into Itfrom behind. After getting all thefacts the superintendent' of the divis-

ion reported that the accident wascaused by the chance assignment .otthree moral weaklings to the samecrew. The conductor had been firedonce before for causing a collisionand was not a man of strong charac-ter. The engineer's record showedthree previous suspensions, and hewas known to indulge occasionally ingross Immoralities. The fireman hadbeen in trouble over a scandalous do-

mestic 'difficulty. The superintendentsummed up:

"Having In the service such men asthese, the best way to frame up acollision Is to get tbem together inthe same crew."

The Railway Age Gazette commeutaon the gravity ot this danger and thedifficulty of forestalling It, and sug-

gests that perhaps it would be a goodrule "to make sure of at least onewholly trustworthy man on everytrain." The point Is that In this par-

ticular railroading does not differ fromany other human pursuit having todo with the hard facts ot this world.The basis of them all is character andlack of character means loss and periland death. Collier's Weekly.

A locomotive engineer wasfound to be very denf, and, althoughhe protested that ho rould henr per-fectly well whllo on his englno, he waisusponded from duty. Some time aft-erwards ho applied tor reinstatement,again urging the fact of his portedhearing whilo on duty. Finally, thephysician rode with him upon a locomotive and put him to overy possibletest.

SILO IS OF MUCH

VALUE TO FARMER

No Man Who Buys Steers to Fat-

ten Can Afford to Be With-

out Huge Receptacle.- u

Those farmers who have ucVter stud-

ied the silo question, naturally do not

know hdw much money they are los-

ing every year In their feeding opera-

tions. No man who buys steers to fat-

ten can afford to be without a silo.

It is a poor cornfield that will notyield an average of from ten to fif-

teen tons of green corn pet aero. If

this is cut into silage It will make asure profit at present prices of cattleat from $30 to S34 per acre.

It has been demonstrated conclu-

sively that silage-fc- d steers bring

more money on the Dig maraei manthose that are fattonod on whole corn.

It Is also a fact well known to expe-

rienced feeders that silage saves grain

and hay.It is true that corn fodder contains

under chemical tests more proteinand fattening material than

silage, but the fact remains thatsteers do not get an oi tne oenonifrom corn foddor, while about every-

thing that is valuable is consumed in

the silago.Then silage being quite bulky, It Is

an excellent feed given In connectionwith ground grains and heavy meals,

as it aids greatly In their dlgeBtlon.

Another thing, steers like silage. It

tastes good to them and they eat itwith avidity.

A steer prefers silage to dry cornfodder, Just as a boy prefers pie todry corn bread, but in the case of thesteer, the silage Is better food for blmthan the pie Is for the boy.

Place silage and dry corn fodderbefore a bunch of steers and they willnot touch the latter until they haveentirely disposed of the first. Thisla an important factor in feeding, be-

cause palatabillty adds to digestivequalities ot feed, and the more asteer digests the more fat be willput on.

DOES CUTTING CORN

FODDER ROB SOIL?

Few Ways of More Quickly Killing

Soil Than to Grow and Re- -,

move All of Crop.

There Is much said now about thevalue of corn fodder by those who

advocate the use of the silo. It Is truethat the corn plant at maturity, ex-

clusive of the etr, contains much valu-

able feed if properly harvested andstored, says Kansas Journal.

Yet experienced ones say that thereare few ways of more quickly killingthe soil thiin to grow corn and re.move all the crop by rutting the fod-

dor.It Is good farm practice to cut up

the corn and feed it on the place,provided that land from which It lacut is immediately manured to re-

store the plant-foo- d elements takenfrom it by the crop.

When no equivalent Is returned tbssoil Is left sadly depleted ot Its bal-

anced chemical store ofelements.

The ear of corn, being largely starchand composed of water and carbondioxide, free compounds ot the atmos-phere, does not remove much fer-

tility from the soil. But the entirecorn plant contains nitrogen, potas-

sium and phosphorus which the soilcan ill spare.

These cornstalks should be allowedto remain in the Held and be plowedunder the following season to returnthese vital elements and form soilhumus.

KEEP POULTRY FREE

FROM ALL VERMIN

One of Best and Most Common

Methods Is to Apply InsectPowder Good Formula. 1

(By H. K KEMPSTER. Mlsaourl Ar.cultural L'olles Experiment Station.)The offspring from a single pair of

lice will In six weeks be approximately125,000. This fact emphasizes the im-

portance of keeping the poultry (refrom them.

Lice live upon the bodies of the poul-

try. They deposit their egga In theplumage, generally near the vent, andlive upon the acurf, dead akin andfeathers. To get rid of them remediesmust be applied to the bird. Sprayingthe roost with g remedies isof little value. One of the beat andmost common methoda ot getting ridof lice Is to apply Insect powder,which should be well dusted Into thefeathers. A second application tenday after the first will catch the sec-on-

brood of lice and make a thor-ough Job of it. Otherwise If tbestlive the first application l of littlevalue.

A good, cheap and effective lousepowder Is made by adding a mixtureof one part of crude carbolic acid andthree parts of gasoline to plaster olparts, all that the powder will blit up.When the plaster Is dry pulverize lrand store In tight cans. Another ef-

fective remedy is to rub a piece of blueointment the size of a pea well Into-th-

skin just beneath tba vent
