A Royal Visitoi
LOOKING TO THE
FUTURE
New Mexico’s Industrial ex-
pansion depends on utilization
of its water, said R. J. Freeland
of Tucumcari at the Tri-State
Flood Control and Irrigation
conference in Amarillo Satur-
day.
Mr. Freeland, who is highly
optimistic over the plan to im-
pound the flood waters of the
Canadian tributaries and divert
it onto farm land in New Mex
Ico and the Panhandle, says
the opinion some hold that ir-
rigation means bigger crops
and consequently lower prices
to the farmer, is not to be ap-
plied to the tri-state irrigation
project.
The country has no need for
more cotton, or more w heat, he
declared, but there is a big de-
mand for sugar beets, alfalfa
and other crops that could be
profitably grown in eastern
New Mexico through irrigation.
He gave statistics on imports
of sugar and dairy products in
the United States, which con-
clusively prove there is a field
for the growing of sugar beets
and the development of the
dairying and hog raising indus-
tries. 1
Preliminary work" on the
plan to store the waters of the
Canadian river has advanced to
such a stage that it now as-
sumes a definite status, but
should not be considered a pos-
sibility within four to five
years. Such schemes move slow-
ly before Congress, but the
Canadian river plan is more
than an idle fancy, and gives
something for the Panhandle to
look forward to in the years to
come when its petroleum re-
sources are certain to decline.
WHEN LITTLE WORDS
GROW BIG
The Earl of Oxford and As-
quith has just released, coinci-
dental with his relinquishing
the leadership of the Liberal
party, a new book.
The book is called “Fifty
Years of British Parliament."
It is another “now-it-can-be-
told” book. It has none of the
vitrolic, backbiting savor of
that book by his wife, Margot
Asquith, which sent all Eng-
land into panic as the great
and near-great discovered con-
f. Jences made to Lady. Asquith
laid bare in her diary.
The earl, in a scholarly man-
ner, merely tells what has been
going on in Parliament for the
last half century.
One chapter on “Political
Catchwords" is especially in-
teresting. The earl comments
on his own phrase "wait and
see”, which he says became po-
litical slang, was “caricatured
into a maximum of policy,” and
was nothing after all but a
common colloquialism.”
So America is not the only
nation which heads grave
meaning into words of little
consequence when uttered by
big men!

WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE
JUDITH MARTIN, youngest mem-
bar of the Pendleton University fac-
ulty, gets into the bad graces of
DEAN TIMOTHY BROWN, because
she accepts the attention of ERIC
WATERS, rebel senior.
DR. PETER DORN, astronomy
professor, also admires Judith and
tries to persuade her to conciliate
the dean.
MYRA ALDRICH, in love with
Erie, is jealous of Judith.
Erie is suspected of bootlegging
poison liquor, from which two stu-
dents die." -
• Mrs. Timothy Brown is grateful
to Judith for not gossiping after she
sees Mrs. Brown with a man com-
panlon in a Middleburg hotel.
"KITTY" SHEA, a town bootleg-
ger with whom Eric is supposed to
have had dealings, overhears a con-
versation between Mrs. Brown and
Jud th in a tea shop, and blackmails
Mrs. Brown.
Jud’th goes to Eric for help.

Judith looked at him. “Just what,

Eric spoke, easily, without shifting
his eyes. "That's simple. I buy whisky
from him—or did, before the poison
deaths. That's all.”

she said softly. "But I want you to

Myra giggled. “It’s iota of fun, be-

In spite of himself, Erie was stirred
by her raillery. But he answered sul-

raised his eyes to her face. "What have

“Oh, it isn’t a killing matter," said
Judith. "I'll get used to the idea and

In line with this demand of

Ths Alamo slaughter was not the only dark deed
of the Mexican armies during that war. Dr. Grant's
party was captured near San Patricio, 100 men were
shot down, and Grant himself was tied to a wild horse.
Houston, at Gonzales, sent out three scouts toward
the Alamo to try to learn Santa Anna’s next move.
Santa Anna sent Mrs.
Dickenson, one of the
few Alamo survivors,
with her baby, on horse-
back, to carry • threat
to Gonzales.

Houston’s scouts met
Mrs. Dickenson and one
of the scouts was posted
back with the news that
Santa Anna was ad-

The word brought to Gonzales caused the panic
which Houston had tried to avert. The townspeople,
a hurrying, bedraggled crowd, left Gonzales at night
in the rain, marching across the prairie. Houston,
with his force depleted to 374 men, began the famous
retreat that was to spell the doom of Santa Anna.
