Dry Measure Is De

fective Is Belief

Tho "dry measure" enactedby the New Mexico State Legis-lature Monday is believed to befatally defective.

The defect is that tho resolu-tion undertakes to amend thoconstitution of the state by directlegislative action without submitting the question to a voteof the people.

The compromise resolution pas-- !sed Monday begins as follows:"Be it resolved by the legislatureof the state of New Mexico, that,the constitution tíí the state ofNew Moxico be, and is herebyamended .by adding thereto aarticle," etc.

Nowhere in the resolution isithere one word regarding thesubmission of the proposed'amendment to a vote of the'people.

That the resolution was crudelydrawn is admitted even by themost enthusiastic of its

SANTA FE, N. M., Feb. 5. Acompromise resolution providing fora submission to tho pcoplo of a con-stitutional amendment for statewideprohibition has passed Nboth housoand senate. Tho vote on. tho resolu-tion in tho senate was 1G to 4; in thohouse, VI to 6.

The result in the senate was ex-pected, and it had been anticipatedthat tho house would take up thoresolution under suspension ' of thorules and pass it when tho measurereached that body, but it was not ex-pected that such quick work wouldbo made of transmitting tho resolu-tion from tho senate to tho house,nor was it expected that the apposi-tion to it would be so tame and fee-ble as it turned out to be.

Tho resolution does not require thosignature of tho governor to put itinto effect, but it is expected thatGovernor do Baca, for many years anardent prohibitionist, will neverthe-less sign it tomorrow as an expres-sion of his endorsement of the provi-sions. A bill to provide tho machin-ery for holding an election is nowpending in both houses and willprobably bo passed at an early dato.Tho Tuesday after tho first Mondayin November, 1917, is fixed as thodato for holding the election in bothbills.

Hannah, and from there totito door ot tho padlocked coop.K In the excitement ot the moment thettgfctaw eC ese bird tossed Into the

bag escaped his attontlon; it was porhaps duo to tho hasto with which hohad to mako off with his prisoners. Howas blinking cautiously about, tomako euro tho coast was cloar, wbona volco startllngly close to his ownportly carcass colled out with a sud-den warning:

"Loo'k out for tho Iron Claw!""How'a d8t?" was tho answering

cry ot tho tingling Rastus."Look out for tho Iron Claw!" re-

peated tho volco so closo behind him."Who what Iron claw?" demanded

tho sweating Rastus."I'll get you!" announced tho

volco bohlnd him. And at thatthreat utter and unreasoning panicseized tho terrified Rastus, who, witha throaty bellow ot agony, chargedacross a newly-du- g garden and bound-ed llko a rotund jackrabbtt down amoonlit alloy bordered with shadowyfences.

At tho end of this alley Rastusplunged through a narrow gato, andcharged bodily Into tho peaceful beer-garde- n

belonging to tho roadbouso otono Antonio Dlbello, whoro sat fourmen In quiet conforenco about ono ottho Httlo Iron tables woll out of pub-lic kon.

Thoso mon snowed prompt resent-mo- nt

at this unheralded interruptionto their talk.

Rastus, however,was In no mood for either interruptionor argument. Ho merely emitted awhoop of reawakened terror and headed for homo.

Thoro ho burst In upon tho astounded Jemima and collapsed with aquavering groan of exhaustion, nut before Jemima could either understandtho natura of his ailment or Investi-gate tho contents of his gunnysack, asecond and oven moro violent Irruption took placo. Legar and his mendragged tho quaking and gasping Rastus to hlo feet, shoved him Into a chair,and snatched up tbo gunnysack. FromIt they took out tho loudly-protestin- g

green parrot and wondorlngly examincd It.

"Whoro did you got that parrot?"was tho quick demand of tho man whoworo an Iron hook where a hand oughtto bo. RastUB merely wheezed andshook In tho legs and showed thowhites of his eyes. It wns Indeed,soveral minutes before ho was somuch as uwakencd to tho fact that hewas not In tho grip ot tho law. Rutonco convinced of that fact, ho becamovolublo enough In his protestations toobligo tho "whlto gonTmon" with anyInformation they desired. Ho even ledthoso whlto gentlemon back to thoneighborhood of Hannah's chickencoop.

So engrossed woro thoy in their dis-

coveries that thoy thereupon paidscant attention to Rastus himself,who took ndvontago of that diversionto disappear.

Thoro woro cortaln phases of thathurried pursuit, however, which hadnot entirely escaped tho attention ofa circumspect stranger who had mo-

tored casually about tho quiet streotsof Codarton earlier In tho ovonlng.Aunt Jemima Watson, in fact, hadscarcely recovered from tho shockconsequent upon tho sudden Invasionof hor cottago whon she discoveredherself confronted by still anotherstrangor. And tho fact that thisstranger woro a yellow mask did notodd to her immediate pcaco of mind.

"All I wnnt to know, my good wom-

an, Is whoro thoso mon are takingyour husband."

"Doy's takin' him back V whar hodono got dat bird," explained tho s.

Tho stranger started for thodoor. Thon ho stopped, dead short.For lying overlooked on tho floor,closo besldo a battered water bucket,ho caught sight of a familiar-lookin- g

oblong of yellow papor. In anothermoment ho had possession of It.

"Whoro did that papor como from?"ho demanded. For ho knew that Itwas tho long-soug- Golden chartwhich ho bold In bis hand.

"Dat dono como from man offusswoopln's," oxplalnod tho othor. "Rutman Rastus allows it hain't oven wuffa green tradln' stamp!"

"Your Rastus may bo right," wastho stranger's quiet reply. "Uut It'sworth this much to mo." And AuntJemima found a r bill thrustInto her astonished pink palm.

Boforo that map could bo com pi o todthough, strango events wore alreadytranspiring directly beneath whoro hooat. For Margory Golden, glancing upfrom hor gamo, stared idly Into tho

The move sho quietly docidod uponwas to call tho strangoly reticentchauffeur of her strangely elusivo de-

Showatched that chauffeur as ho threwon a heavy boar-ski- n coat and cap,wound a mufflor about his neck, andstarted for tho garago. Sho watchodhim as ho stopped out Into tho dark-ness. Thon tho bear-skinne- d figurobecame tho ccntor ot strango and

nonchalantly about, crossod to a door,swung It wldo, and saw that it openedInto a closet.

"Throw that grizzly In hero until holoams how to keep quiet!" was theirloader's crisp command.

"And now, my girl, I guess It's yourturn again!" was his next sinister ex-

And ono ot the treasureswhich he had succeded in disposing otto- - Enoch Golden was a full suit otmedieval Japanese armor, completeoven to the long-blade- d Kaglsakl dagger and grotesquely fashioned metalfaco mask.

That leering motal faco David Man-loy had hated from the first momontho saw It In position at tho far sido oftho somber Golden library. Tho ugliness of that metal monstrosity, In fact,seemed accentuated by tho soft-tone- d

canvas painting which stood Immedi-ately behind it

"Just what do you sco to llko aboutthat thing?" ho somewhat brusquelyInquired. Tho girl's faco grow

That leering metál faco makes mothink of tho Laughing Mask, and nowI'm almost cortaln I know who thisLaughing Mask is."

"Isn't it boautlful?" sho asked as shoswung tho armor about. "You boo itis quite open in the back. Tho couitsays thoy wero mado that way becausethoy wero-wor- n only by heroes. Anda hero must always bo brave enough tostand facing his enemies!"

"Well, swing It round thon, tor I'mits enemy all right! I hate thothing!"

Throo hours later he was peremp-torily sumraonod to tho billiard room,whero ho found Enoch Golden In slip-pers and dressing gown tovertshlypacing tbo floor. Manloy stared Interrogatively down at tho papor which'tbo older man held In slightly tremu-lous fingers.

"It's another of Legar'a SpottedWarnings!" explained Goldon, In avolco heavy with apprehension.

"Did you speak to Da Espares aboutthis?" Manley asked.

"No. Da Espares went to bod anhour ago."

"And Margery?""Margery U with her mother."

"Am ttiti rrrrfiT I"They were thoro thirty minutos

Manley, with a sinking ot tho heart,continued his search through tho low-

er regions of tho houso. And ho didnot broatho freely until, quietly opon-ta- g

the sido dpor Into tho library, hocaught sight of Margory horsolf, in anarrow-backe- d Jacoboan chair, bentlow over a book which lay open onhor lap.

Sho sat clearly outlined In thobright fulcrum falling over her

body, leaving her in aluminous shower from tho single walllight, which Bho bad left turned onimmediately obovo tysr. This silveryshaft ot light brought out the beautyof bor heavily-masse- d hair; It broughtout tho tonder lines ot tho whitethroat and nock, tho wistful glrllsh-nes- s

of tbo slondor figuro. Thon Man-

loy for tho first timo noticed that shewas sitting directly In front ot thosuit of Japaneso armor. Ho could boothe polished metal of that armor flashvenomously In tho strong sidelight

As ho stood thoro, clinging to thoportlero and continuing to staro atthoso two strongly-diverge- figures,ho found Bomethlng almost hypnoticin thn virulont brightness ot tho pol-

ished metal. Thon a gasp ot incred-ulity burst from his lips. For as hostared at tho metaled hand holdingtho long-blade- d dagger, ho saw, orthought ho saw, that hand slowlyraiso, as though somo miracle had en-

dowed Its Insensato links and platesand vambraccs with life. Thon thovery blood in his body seomed to cur-

dle with sudden horror, for now therewas no dcubt about it Tho mailedhand holding tho glimmering knlfo-blad- o

abovo tho softly-brcathln- g girlwas slowly but surely being lifted,higher and still higher. And in on-oth- er

momont Manley felt It wouldsurely strike.

Quick as a flash bo caught tho automatic from his pocket, swung it up,and trained tho barrel on the glintinghighlights along tho mailed fist Thenhe fired.

Thero was a muffled shout of pain,a short scream ot terror from thostartled girl, and answering calls fromabovo-stalr- s as tho uproar echoedthrough tho midnight houso. But toall of theso Manloy paid scant atten-tion. With ten steps ho had crossedtho room. Then bo flung himself on-th- o

suit of mail, twisting it about andsanding it toppling from Us stand.But ono glanco showed It to bo empty.Tho framed canvas that stood bohlndit ho Jerked from tho wall. Then anoxclamatlon ot wondor burst from hislips. For, In tho wainscoting at eachsido ot whoro tho canvas had hung hediscovered two holes cut not a yardapart, and sufficiently largo to admitot a man's arms being thrust throughthem. And as ho saw them, and bogan to batter on tho dark-woo- d wain-scoting with his heavy pistol-but- t, boroalfzed what had taken place.

Somo enemy, secreted, behind thatwainscoting, had thrust an arm Intotho metal shell of an arm holding thodagger, and had lifted it to strikedown the girl so close besldo it Andthat enemy, Manloy resolved as hobattered down the panel and crowdedhis way through Into a narrow pas- -sagoway, ho would discover and capturo or know tho reason why.

Yet that passage, which led to theabandoned conservatory and fromthere back to a long unused butler'spantry, proved to bo entirely empty.All that rewarded Manloy's franticsearch was a sleove button and ashred ot cloth torn from a servicecoat, caught on a nail where tho passage Itself ended against the wainscoting. And by the timo ho hadpushed his way back to tho libraryGolden and Da Espares and Wilsonwore already thero.

"Where's Wrench, that new foot-man?" ho demandod.

"I saw Wrench in tho upper hall,air, two minutes ago," was Wilson'sprompt reply.

"But monsieur, what has happen' tomy beautiful armor?" demanded thosoftly-speakin- g Da Espares.

"Ill tell you that when we "findWrench," was Manley's curt roply."Wilson, you guard tho front door,and you. sir," added Manloy,-turnin- g

to Goldon, "I'd advise to watch the win-dows' thero."

"And I, monsieur, what may I do tobe ot assistance?" Inquired tbo imper-turbable Da Espares.

"You go up thoso front stairs andstop anybody who attempts to comodown. And mind you stop them I I'rAgoing up by tho servants' stairs. Andsomebody watch tho elevator!"

He was oft tbo next moment, running with all his apeed through thehouse, with his automatic in his handas he went

It was not until ho had mounted asecond and then a third flight ot stairsthat he came to a stop. That wascloso besldo tho door of Wrench's ownroom. And listening there ho heardtho sound of movement within.

Ho did not even try the door. Backing quickly away, ho shoulderodagainst the wooden panels with all hisweight The lock gave way and hewent staggering into the room.

There, bent over a suitcase, hocaught sight ot Wrench hlmsolf. Onoglanco at that startled and pallid face.

ono glimpse at the aleare at tas aervIce-co- at from which a button hadclearly boon torn away, convinced himthat all his vague suspicions ot thopast woek had boon only too wollfounded. And ho wasted no words onargument

tho monaclng automatic-barre- l to onoside and sprang bodily on Manloy. As'he did so an unexpected- - and strangelymantled figuro glided Into tho narrowroom. It was a figuro wrapped andhooded In heavy velour and only a seo- -

bnd glanco at Us Btrango covorieswould havo revealed tho fact that Itwas a portiere quickly torn from Itsfastenings and improvised into amask to conceal Us wearer's Identity.But Manley, as ho fought with Wrench,had small timo to register this fact ortho further fact that a rent had beenmado In tho portlero to serve as aneye-hol- e for tho head which It so com-pletely coverod.

It was not until that hooded figurohad Joinod In tho contest that Manloybocamo awaro ot tho second portlerowhich his newer opponont carrlod. Forthis portlero was deftly thrown overtho young secretary's head and suddenly drawn tight about his arms. Thowhlto-facc- d and struggling footman,realizing that his final chance hadcomo, promptly took advantage ot Man- -

ley's momontary helplessness to fallback, leap for tho open door and makogood his escape.

Manloy hlmsolf, maddened by thothought of that culprjt's escapo, swungabout on his hooded assailant with a .

fury that sent tho latter also retreat-ing towards tho hall. That unknownenemy even sought to escape as hiscolleague had dono, but at tho stairhead Manley overtook him. Togetherthoy went down tho stairs, a tangle otlimbs and striking lists and portleroends. Thoy fought and-- rolled along tbolower floorway, fought until Manloyhad treod himself from tho othor'aclutch and was struggling to tear thodrapery from about bis mystorlous

head. But that enemy, fran-tically bent on romalnlng unknown,fought back with an added fury whichbrought tbo two swaying and clingingbodies full force against tho stair-railin- g.

That railing, under the strainsuddenly gavo way. Manley, clingingdesperately to tho portlero folds, feltthat voluminous drapery follow attorhim as ho foil gasping over tho well ottho stairs.

Ho fell sprawling, tangled up Inmany yards ot velour, and landed ontho cowering head and shoulders of theastounded Wilson, who, at that suddenassault, promptly and voclforouslyshouted for help.

When Manley, stunned for a minutoor two by tho fall, once more openedbis eyes and blinked inquiringly abouthim, ho saw both Golden and his wifeand Margery heVsolt clustered at hisside.

"Did you got him?" ho demanded,"Got whom?" asked Enoch Golden."That murderous blackleg, Da Es-

pares!" was Manloy'a reply."But Count da Espares has nothing

to do with this," protested tho girl,with a frown of bewilderment "Ho'aonly been helping us, as ho alwayshelped us!"

"Ab ho always helped you?" scoffedtho Incredulous Manley.

"Yes. as ho will tell you hlmsolf !"For at that moment suave and smil-ing, tho count Joined tho wonderingcircle.

"Ah, monslour, I keep watch above,as you ask," he explained with a shrug."But nozzlng happen. I seo nobody.Then, mon dleu, I hear the tumult,and come down to you. But I cannotcomprehend. So toll mo, monsieur, Ibeg, what has happen?"

RUTHLESS SEA WARFARE

ACTION TO FORCE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS IN SHORT TIME 18

THE TEUTONIC VIEW.

Western Newepsper Union News Service.

Washington. Following is the notoof tho Imperial Gorman Governmentannouncing Its decision to adopt a potIcy of unrestricted naval warfare,which was handed to Secretary. Lansing by Count von Bernstorf:

Mr. Secretary of State: Your Excellency was (rood enough to transmit tothe Imperial government a copy of thomessage which the President of theUnited States of America addressed tothe Senate on tho 22nd lnst. Tho 'Im-perial government has given It theearnest consideration which the Presi-dent's statements deserve, inspired asthey aro by a deep sentiment of re-sponsibility. It Is highly gratifying tomo imperial government to ascertainthat the main tendencies of this Im-portant statement correspond largelyto the desires and principles professedby Germany. The principles especiallyInclude self government and equalityof rights for all nations. Germanywould be sincerely glad If In recogni-tion of this principle countries like Ire-land and India, which do not enjoy thebenefits of- political independence,should now obtain tholr freedom.

Tho German people also repudiate allalliances which servo to force the coun-tries Into a competition for might andto Involve them In a net of selfish In-trigues. On the other har.d, Germanywill gladly ci operate In all efforts toprevent future wars. The freedom ofthe seas, being a preliminary condi-tion of tho free existence of nationsand the peaceful Intercourse betweenthem, as well as the open door for thecommerce of all nations, has alwaysformed part of the leading principlesof Germany's political program. Allthe more the Imperial government re-grets that the attitude of her enemies,who aro so entirely opposed to peace,makes It Impossible for the world atpresent to bring about the realizationof these lofty Ideals. Germany and herallies wore ready to enter now Into adiscussion of peace, and had set downas basis tho guaranty of existence, hon-or and free development of their peo- -filcs. Their alms, as has been

In the note of December 12,1916, were not directed toward the de-struction or annihilation of thelr'ene--mle- s

and were according to their con-viction perfectly compatible with therights of other nations.

As to Belgium, for which such warmand cordial sympathy Is felt In theUnited States, the chancellor had de-clared only a fow weeks previouslythat Its annexation had never formedpart of Germany's Intentions. Thepeace to bo signed with Belgium wasto provide for such conditions In thatcountry, with which Germany desiresto maintain friendly, neighborly rela-tions, that Belgium should not be usedagain by Germany's enemies for thepurpose of Instigating continuous hos-tile intrigues. Such precautionary meas-ures are all tho more necessary, asGermany's enemies have repeatedlystated, not only In speeches deliveredby their leading men. but also In thestatutes of the economical conferencein I'aris, tnnt it Is tholr Intention nott n t run t f3frtnnnv na nn nnunt míanafter poace has been restored; but tocontinue their hostile attltudo and especially to wage a systematical eco-nomical war against her.

The attempt of the four allied Dowers to bring about peace has failed ow-ing to the lust of conquest of tholr en-emies, who desired to dictate the con-ditions of peace. Under the pretenseof following the principle of nationality our enemies nave uiscioseu tneirreal alms In this way, viz.: to dlsmom-be- r

and dishonor Germany. Austria- -Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria. To thewisn or. reconciliation they oppose thewill of destruction. They desire a fightto the bitter end. A new situation thushas been created which forces Germanyto new decisions. Since two. years anda half ago England Is using her navalpower for a criminal attempt to forceGermany Into submission by starvation.In brutal contempt of International lawtho group of powers led by Englanddoes not only curtail tho legitimatetrade of their opponents, but they alsoby ruthless pressure compel neutralcountries either to forego altogetherevery trade not agreeable to the en-tonto powers or to limit it according totheir arbitrary decrees.

The American government knows theBteps which have been taken to causeEngland and her allies to return to therules of International law and to re-spect the freedom of the seas. TheEnglish government, however, Insistsupon continuing Its war of starvation,which does 'nut at all affect the mili-tary power of Its opponents, but com-pels women and children, the sick andthe aged, to suffer for their country,pains and privations which endangerthe vitality of the nation. Thus Brit-ish tyranny mercilessly lncrnmn thsuffering of the world, Indifferent toine taws or Humanity, inuirrorcnt totho protests of the neutrals, whom tKvseveral harm. Indifferent even to thesilent longing for peace among England's own allies. Each day of the ter-rible strugglo causes new destruction,new 'sufferings. Each day shorteningthe war will, on both sides, .preservetho lives of thousands of bravo nnlillrnnd be a benefit to mankind.

The imperial government could notJustify before Its own conscience, be- -ture ine uennan people, anu uerore his-tory, the neglect of any means des-tined to bring about the end of thewar. Like tho President of the UnitedStates, the Imperial government hadhoped to reach this goal by negotia-tions. After the attempts to come toan understanding with the ententepowers have been answered by the lat-ter with tho announcement of an In-tensified continuation' of the war, theImperial government. In order to servethe welfare of mankind In highersense and not to wrong Its own peo-ple, Is now compelled to continue thefight for existence, again forced uponIt, with the ful) employment of all theweapons which are at Its disposal.

Enclosing two memoranda regardingthe details of the contemplated mili-tary measdres at sea, I remain, etc.

GRRMAXY'S SUBMARINE WAR

Almot liktí the proverbial boltfrom a blue sky came the nwa last

of Germany's wkle extensionof her submarine warfare againstGreat Gritaln, with its announcedjnirpoe V dp'ftrtirtlon of all shipsgoing to the islands of Great Britain.

What effpet it wili have upon theoutcome of the war is problematical.What It will mean to the UnitedState is ako problematical, but thepeople mffht as well faee the stemfari of moifaant botines anddecide now as to what course theymust take if, as appears likely, theLiMitania case is repeated with a lossof neutral live.

We do not attempt to solve thisproblem, but we tell our readers thatthey should At once advise their

and senators as well as thepresident himself of their wishes.The United States will act as its peo-ple say ami you have a right to putyour opinion upon record, and we aresure that conereM will declare warat a mandate from the Americanpeople, but not without their

PUT IT DOWN

When you see something adver-tised in The Liberal ami canndt takeimmediate advantage of the offer, itis a Rood plan to make a note of itin a little book, pad or card, as theense may be.

It sometimca happens that manydesirable offers are forgotten or lostmerely because a Liberal readerdidn't have time to attend to the pur-chase right away.

Every housewife and every manshould have a note book where nt

notes ran be stored away.Every housewife and every man

should have a note book where im-portant notes can be stored away,The merchants of Lordsburg paymoney to bring the features of theirbusiness to your nttcntion and youby no means should "lose" or "forre statements that would be a ben'ofit

An advertising note book is not anew thing with many economicalfamilies, and we rather think itsmore general use in Lordsburg andvicinity would be a decided benefit.

or woman in Lordsburg and you willfind him or her a (rood roads booster,

They all know just how fine theroads around southern Grant countyshould appear to them when they goautomobiling.

But when it comes to improvingthe streets along their propertiesnine out of ten remonstrate and callit an unnecessary expense.

We think that if it is a pood thingfor the country districts to have goodroads, it Is likewise a good thing forthe city districts to have goodstreets.

PUTTING IT OVER

A certain country town, less thnna thousand miles from Lordsburponce possessed an influential citizenwho opnosed evorv worthy movementnot fathered by himself. He was achronic kicker and the dospair of thetown, for in ono way or another heinvariably carried his point.

Oil" ilnv n small band of "livewire" devised a new wav to get animnrovomont through. They secretly arranged fdr it to be introducedat the mcetine of the village boardwith the public invited to expresstheir views. The "live wires" wereprosont, and sn was the kicker. Butcontrary to his expectations the"wires" vociforously opposed themeasure. This was too much for thdkicker, and he immediately launchedInto a strenuous advocacy of themeasure which he had previously intended to "kill." It carried withwhoop.

We might take a losson and "putone over" in this town.

THE PRICE OP PAPER.Thousands of smnll nwespapers

throughout this entire nation arefaclmr an nlarminc situntion in regard to nrint paper. Last year the"

cost oí the paper on which we printour regular issues was about halfwhat it is at this time. Hundreds ofnewspapers through the countryhive raised their prices to escape annihllatinn, and we call to the attention of our readers the obvious im-

possibility of continuing this paperat the old rate if prices advance muchiprthcr.

We have .always given our sub-scribers the' bmt paper that we couldpublish. While we are in the busi-ness for a living we stick to it because we think it is an opportunityat 'the same time to serve the neoo'eamomr whom wo live through thenrintlnc and publishing of o progresáis e newspaper, which stands for thnbest as it appears to us. We thinkthat every community needs as manygood, honest and courageous papersas it can afford to sunnort We in-

tend to give our readers a newsypaper, cleanly edited and stalwartfor what we judge is the right. Wohave, no doubt but that they willcontinue to stick to us, as they havedone in the past.

Berries should always be washed before being bulled, to prevent washingaway of considerable fruit juice.

Apples are more than SI par centwater. Watermelon rightly namedcontains more than 1)2 per cent of

The best time to eat fruit Is saidto be about an hour before meals, onretiring at night and the first thing onrising In the morning.

Pound per pound figc are more nourishing than bread. There Is no goodreason why wc do not all ol us eattwice as many figs as We do.

Baked apples uta among the mostwholesome nnd roost digestible of foodproducts. Children and Invalids areseldom harmed by them, even whenother fruits might not agree.

In boiling or stewing fruits the mi-g- ar

WANTS BLUE SKY LAW

THE MOBT IMPORTANT MEASUREINTRODUCED IN LEGISLATURE.

Many Dills of More or Lets Importance Are Being Pushed for

Passage This Session.

ffeiKrn Newspaper Unión News Service.

Santa Fe. No more Importantpleco ot legislation has been broughtbefore a New Mexico Legislature inrecent years than Senator. Kasoman's

blue Bky" bill, end additional Interest attaches to the bill at this timeby reason of tho fact that the Su-

preme Court ot tho United States hasJust affirmed tho constitutionality otthis character of legislation In a de-

cision, tho terms ot which affect, di-

rectly or Indirectly, tho laws of morothan thirty states.

A bill which, if passed, will, In thoopinion ot many, mark tho turningpoint In New Mexico Into the straightpath of progress, was introduced Intho Legislature. Tola la tho Aus-tralian ballot law.

No more Legislatures for Now Mexico. This Is the purport ot a billwhich O. E. Ovorson nnd T.'H. Lewishave prepared for presentation in thoHouso. Tho bill would substituto acommission form ot Legislature fortho present g machinery,which thoy claim Is entirely tooclumsy.

Apparently tho ' advocates of stato- -

wldo prohibition in Now Mexico havogotten togother on a constitutionalamendment for submission o a voteof tho pcoplo, which, whllo not entirely satisfactory to any of them, willreceive tho support 'of all ot them.The first dcfinlto atop toward itsadoption was taken by tho report ofn substituto for tho McDonald andClark resolutions, and all signs pointto a vigorous fight from now on untiltho compromise resolution Is passedby both branchos of tho Legislature.

A bill to exempt new sugar factories from taxation for a porlod otsix years from tholr establishment,which wns Introduced concurrently Intho House and Senato In tho earlydays of tho session, had its ups nnddown, but finally emerged victoriousby tho narrowest possible margin.

Many members of tho present NowMexico Legislature show a commendable interest In everything that willhelp tho advancement of tho state.Few bills havo been introduced so farthat aro ropresslvo to Industry, com-merce or transportation.

EXCELLENT RETURNS

FROM THE CANADIAN

WHEAT CHOP

United States Settlers BecomingRich on Western Canada

Lands.

Tho largo number of United Statessettlers coming to the Western prov-

inces of Canada nro easily explainedby tho caso of Mr. O. Lncy, lato ofWisconsin nnd later of Alberta.

Mr. Lacy camo to Canada from Wisconsin In the summer of 1014 with$1,500 nvallablo cash In his possession.Uo rented a half-sectio- n of partly Im-

proved land In Alberta and commencedsummer fallowing. He broke 800 ncreswith oats, 20 with barley, nnd 200 withwheat. Also ho had two cows and 20head of young live stock. He was fortúnalo In buying feed at a bargain andmanaged to rent tho adjoining quarter-sectio- n

as pasture.A few weeks ago ho decided to real

izo his profits nnd they amounted to$0,000 absolutely clear from tho cropnnd the stock. -

W. J. Wlnstcnd, of Brooks, Alberta,says :

"I landed In Brooks, March 18th,1010, with one car of household effects,nnd nine head of good horses, and lessthnn $500 In cash. I have put $1,500worth of improvements on my farm. Ihnvo 31 liertd of cattle, 10 head ofhorses, debts nil paid, n new nutomo- -

bile, nnd n good, tlff bank account.At present prices, I can cash In for$10,000. I am well sntisfled, and ex-

pect to doublo this next year.I havo threshed altogether 7.000

bushels of No. 1 Northern wheat fromtwo hundred acres, which went from2 to GO bushels per acre.

Seven thousand bushels of wheat, nilNo. 1 Northern, two thousand bushelsof oats, 070 bushels of flax, 700 bush-

els of barley all nt market prices--well, figuro this out for yourself at themarket price.- - I sold 3,100 bushels ofwhent at $1.74, am holding tho re-

mainder for $2.00. Also all the oats,barley and flax for higher prices."

Intelligent fnrmlng pays always ac-

cording to Alex. Wattle, n prosperousfarmer. Some figures to prove his con-

tention thnt ho has "mndo good."In 1014 Mr. Wattle threshed 40 bush-

els to the acre from a 30-ac- crop.This sold for 1.00 per bushel, which,nfter deducting seed, labor, twine,threshing nnd freight, left a clear profitof $50 per acre, or n total of $1,500.From lost year's crop of 34 acres, Justsold, ho received nfter freight had beendeducted, $1,870.04.

stantly, and soon the entire corn orcallus, root and all, dries up and canbe lifted oft with tho fingers.

This new way to rid one's feet ofcorns was Introduced by a Cincinnatiman, who says that frcezone dries Ina moment, nnd simply shrivels up thocorn or callus without Irritating thosurrounding skin.
