The yield of apples In Grant county N. M-4hl
fall Is unusually large and of exceptionally high grade
it being the general opinion that the season Just past
han been one of the best from a horticultural stand
point that Grant county has had for many years.
A few years ago CotUo county Texas located In
the Panhandle country had very few Inhabitants
and no agricultural development. A few days ago a
solid train toad of cotton was shipped from Paducah
tho county seat and tho total crop of tho county this
year la estimated at 30000 bales.
Blxtoen miles of railway from Callente N. M. to
La Madera built by the Denver & Illo Grande will be
ready for operation In a few days. The road was built
for the accommodation of the firm of Halleck & How-
ard millionaire lumbermen of Denver tho necessary
funds being furnished by the lumber firm with the
understanding It Is to be returned In future freight
shipments.
On December 10 over a half million acres of land
will be open for settlement In New Mexico under the
enlarged homestead act which permits a homesteader
to file upon 330 acres. This land Is located In San
Miguel Guadalupe and Santa Fe counties nnd' tho In-
dications are that a 'great deal of It la going to be
occupied just as noon as It Is open to .settlement.
By virtue of two high grado gold strikes In tho
Pinos Altos mining district of New' Mexico within the
past year that region has been brought Into great
prominence and what wan an Idle community two
years ago Is now a hustling busy camp full of life
and activity. Its production In sundry metal values
lu 1913 was nbout 1100000 white this year the pro
duction will bo In excess of 1260000.
El Paso Marks 5trwetern Progresa
Long after what la known as the West and what
is known as tha Northwest of the United States has
become settled and populous says the Christian Bel
nee Monitor the country that has cbme to be known
as the great Southwest was backward in both par
tlculare. A special Impetus was necessary to the de
velopment of this quarter Of the republic. It camo
in due season and has been felt from the Mississippi
to the Illo Grande from the Gulf of Mexico to the
Pacific ocean. The period between 1810 and 1014
has marked the growth of a new empire over this
area. Not bnlytowtts and ;ltlsr-but states of great
wealth and power and greater possibilities has
sprung up where the prospector and the ranchman
and the cowboy wero almost In complete possession
a generation ago.
El Paso town that marks the passage of the Itlo
Grande through a mountain gap town noted for Its
contiguity to Ciudad Juarez town much In the now
papers of lata years bccaiiae of certain happenings nt
the other end of the international bridge is a case
In point. According to tho United States census El
Paso had a population of 788 In 1180: according to
the correspondence of the Christian Science- Monitor
it waa then a town of one street of ndobo houses. In
1880 its population had increased to 10338; in 1800
to 15906; In 1010 to 38379. At tha present time it
has more than 0000 Inhabitants and adobe haa been
supplanted by brick stone iron steel and cement
construction In tho most modern expressions of architecture.
El Paso represents and is typical of a transforma
tion that has taken placo within n short span on time
throughout tho entire Southwest. From any approach
on tho American sido It Is a striking example of the
progress that has marked the last few Recades' i
what once was Mexican territory. Contrasted with
Its neighbor on the opposite sido of the river It Is
easy for tho most casual to aco how ono kind of civ-
lllzatlon can accelerate while another can arrest do
velopmcnt.
Tho growth and development of El Paso Is but
typical of the growth and development of the South
west which has made the growth and development
of El Paso possible. And as El Paño money Is flnanc
Ing many of tha Important industries of tho Southwest
tho city Is able to roiurn every favor bestowed by
Its local surroundings and cheerfully docs so.

WedrtejcUy November 25 I9H.
The Memphis Commercial Appeal very truly says
that If the rumor monger would only enjoy a brief
session of silence things would bo more cheerful and
men nnd women would bo Jesn annoyed. But tho
troublo with the suggestion is that It la impractical
for the rumor monger can not enjoy evon a brief
period of sllenca. Hoand she are among the things
that móst nearly approach perpetual motion for they
are ever on the Job. NIne-tenth.i of the ordinary
rumors encountered within the province of a day's
Journey aro nothing more nor less than lies and being
lies they often do Irreparable Injury to avery object
against which they are directed. Too many of us
are disposed to accept rumor for fact without giving
the situation njiy form of Investigation.
The production of broom corn Is a very remunera
tive Industry In the Melrose N. M. section It being
estimated that a total of 89 cars will bo marketed from
that point this year against 64 cars last year. Up
to the present time there has also bten a total of 41
cars of wheat shipped to market from Melrosu.
C. E. James good roads expert of Washington
haa arrived In Las Cruces N M. for tho purposo of
Inspecting the good roads system of Dona Ana coun-
ty. He comes at the request of Francis E. Lester of
the Dona Ana county road board and Is Invcstlgat
Ing conditions with referonco specially to tho malnto
nance of the roads.
The .Business Ateh's association of Hoswell has
decided to get In behind the good roads movement
in Eastern New Mexico nnd will send a strong dele-
gation to Santa Fe to appeur before the next state
legislature to advocate the passage of a law which will
allow each county in tho state 16 Issuo county bonds
for tho building and maintenance of good county
roads.
That thoro are -very satisfactory profits to bo made
In the cattle business Is proven by the experience of
Mayor E. D. Hawkins of Portales N. M ' In March;
1913 Mayor Hawkins purchased a little bunch of 37
registered Hereford cows and one bull for which he
paid $88 per head Since purchasing these cattle
Mayor Hawkins has sold more than $3000 worth of
t stock and bas $S head or fine animals still on his
ranch;
Illustrative of the manner in which the British
lion's cubs aro growing It Is only necessary to observe
the manner in whloh Canada Is furnishing a complete
army division for service In Franco how tho Australian
navy put tho German cruiser Emdon out df. .business
and how Australia has Just serit2D000 fighting men
to Egypt to muko a fight in defehso of British inter
ests. And tho Indians fighting' at tho battle front
constitute .another evldenco of tho strength and soli
darity of tho British empire.
The'-'beetawal of Iron crosses w"Uh1sucVta prodigal
very -favoranlo attention In'tonilon. Iron crosses sold
to be an exact duplicate of those Issued by the kaiser
aro being -sold liko hot cakes on the streets of London
and the fakers aro reaping a golden harvest. It is
clalmod that the iirttlsh crosses contain Just as much
Iron as those manufactured and distributed In Ger
many.
It Is a very notlcoablo fact that practically all
of tho generals who are making history In tho ores
ont European war aro men who have passed' the half-
century mark which la In direct opposition to the old
myitis of "Old men for counsel; young men for ac
lion." Some of the old boys now on the firing line
aro disporting themselves with alt the flro and vigor
of young manhood. Von Moltko la 68 Joffre Is 62

Thn Fatherland a Qerman publication issued. In
New York Is after Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. It
declares It can not understand how the colonel can
continually prate of the violation of the neutrality
of Luxemburg and Belgium when he is confronted
by tho ruthless violation o fthe small state of Colom-
bia which occurred "When I took Panama."
Tho Trlnce of Waes has been appointed olde to

Her Hand on Hi Arm.
In a New Tork sk for standar accetáHnf to the
New Tork World a preacher from Pórttotd Ore.
appear as a witness. It k to be noted continues itH
World that he was born and educated Jn the UtttL
There had been no improper relatione between him
and the lady mentioned In the case. He had never
kissed or embraced her. She had never shown any
affection for him except on one occasion when.
walking togethfcr at night she had taken his arm.
This "caused him great surprise; he had always con
sidered It a man's part to7 take a lady's arm first.
and no he withdrew" his1 arm.
In somu sections of Europe where lovemaklng Is
carried on publicly it Is indeed a man's part to tako
a lady's arm first but what shall be said of a man
American born and educated who not only holds to
such vulgarity but finding the process reversed re-
sents It?
The small hand on the arm of a true man signi
fies trust. It is the appeal perhaps conventional of
weakness to strength. It does not mean possession.
It means protection It la not typical of familiarity
or boldness. It Is an acknowledgement of dependence
and confidence.
What shocking corruption of our manners must
have taken place In the last few years when a clergy
man reared in Massachusetts regards himself as Un-
duly approached because a lady places her hand on
his arm 7
Tho man who resentí suoh action by. withdrawing
his arm is either a fool or an individual 'who sees
In tho Incident an opportunity to gain notoriety. And
a man who would achiove notoxletxa't the expense of
a woman Is too contemptible to be regarded as a man
Tho Massachusetts bred preacher who has. thus
acted the fool must hava been born and bred In thp
vicinity of Salem "where they thooughti o little of
women In the early days that they did not hesitate
to burn them as witches. His conception of the. here
after must take the form of a Eveless Eden and a
placo where his virtuous soul will never be bar raised
by tho approach of anything feminine.

The report comes from. Vienna that Belgrade the
capital of Servia is on the verge of capitulation but
that story has grown old since the beginning of tho
war. The Austrlans have kept up an incessant" bom
bardment of Belgrade and have driven the govern
ment from the capital city but the general impression
Is thot the taking of Belgrade la now no nearer ac
compiisnea than when Austrian shells were first
rained on that city.
The kaiser's constant movement from one point
to another on the battle front Is now accounted for
by tho German tradition that the chief war lord shall
fire the first shot from each of the new heavy guns.
Whenever a new 17-Inch howitzer Is mountod tho
kaiser proceeds to the spot and hurls the first shell
at the enemy by touching a button from a position
established for him well In the rear.
Mombera of tho Spanish parliament are taking cog
nizance of the presence of General Victoriano Huerta
In that country and are asking why he Is permitted
to remain after his treatment of Spaniards in Mexico.
General Huerta rushed Into print to explain but the
man who does that can generally be regarded as
almost lost.
The Prlnco of Wales has been given a position

Very few people of the United States will criticize

that they would remain until a stable government was
