During the fall and winter wolves were numerous about Myndus, but when spring came they entirely disappeared. Most people suppose they had gone for aye. But no such good luck, for they are beginning tp appear again.

An old hunter explains that wolves go to the mountains to rear their young in the early spring, returning to the prairies later in the season when the cubs are old enough to care for themselves. The game law in New Mexico is well respected. Evidence of which is seen by the large number of antelope that roam unmolested and unafraid over the prairies about Myndus. Recently a deer was seen near the depot. Miss Gladys Harvey, who has been a guest of Mrs.

Dr. Bush, has returned to her home in El Paso.

The first step in this plan is the organization of community centers, the next is good roads, the next is graded schools: in the country districts, and then he would have the country merchants advertise, that every interest in the community may be built up.

East Spruce Street Phone 334 Do you read the MAKE COUNTRY ATTRACTIVE "This administration is using its best endeavors to build up community centers, better rural schools and local markets for the products of our State," said the Governor today. "The 'back to the farm' movement is the wrong end to begin work on. The State should have a system of good roads, with big township schools that teach domestic science, agriculture and fit students for normal training work.

The school should be made so attractive and so good that it would not be necessary for the agriculturist to go to town with his family to procure an education for them. The freest, the truest and the best life is the agriculturist's life. It takes the same brain, however, to be a suecessful farmer that it does to be a successful banker or professional man, and our farmers are now awakening to the fact that good roads, community interest centers and graded country schools are solving the problem, and when we have country schools in a high degree of efficiency there will be no 'back to the farm' movement, for there will then be no incentive or desire to leave the farm. MERCHANTS, ADVERTISE "I believe it is of vital interest to the agriculturist to keep the small towns in a prosperous condition, but the reason for the decline of the small town is from the fact that the merchants do not advertise their wares, together with the prices, as well as an accurate description of the stock that they handle. While to the exact contrary, the mail order houses have a big, high priced catalog in the hands of every man throughout the country, and it is the constant advertisement of their wares, the descriptions and prices, and a family that wishes to buy some article looks at the catalog, and at once takes it up with the mail order house.

WOULD FACILITATE HANDLING OF BAGGAGE The State Corporation Commission has taken up the matter of handling of baggage here with the three railroads in an effort to have one man aiways on hand to check out luggage on arrival here.

Favorable replies have been received from the superintendents and no doubt the matter will be adjusted. THE COUNTRY STORE "A mail order house, with its expensive buildings, high priced ground, enormous rent, high priced officers, interest and a score of other necessary expenses, makes its overhead expense enormous, while to the exact contrary, the country merchant, with a very minor expense account, can be a strong competitor of the mail order house if he will only set himself to the task of presenting his stock for the consideration of the customers, by strong, clear, lucid honest advertisement. "The newspapers are by far the best mediums, but if that is not accessible, then a circular letter should be used. The farmer would much rather deal with his home merchant if he knows that he can get the same goods for the same price, but the solution of the problem rests with the country merchant, and it behooves him to get in touch with the farmers. Take them into your confidence, talk to them and point out to them cerain added specifications that the list price man overlooks.

"This campaign of honest education should be made, and it must be made, by the man who is vitally interested-the merchant. The agriculturists realize that by blotting out of the cities, they, the farmers, would be compelled to pay increased taxes, merchants and their employes must become stock raisers or agriculturists, and thus become competitors of the farmers. The community center means mutual inter-the stock raisers, the farmers, the merchants and men who have the general welfare of the public at heart. There should be a 'get together' movement for the common good of City Star. WESTERN FEED AND WAREHOUSE CO.
