In the northernmost and CC&tral part of New Mexico, Just across the Colorado line, is the small town of Tlerra Amarilla. There are •boat COO people living there, mostly Of Spanish birth, and among them a •ery, very large portion who can legitimately qualify on a $50,000 ; bond. "They ha*p made,'vid are still mfektflg, a great deal of money in sheep and wool, and are Quite happy without alectric lights, aatos or sidewalks. If yon are ever fortunate enough to be invited to visit one of these families, no donbt you will go In a kindly, 'tolerant spirit and come away please •»tly amazed. They are the very heart and soul of hospitality and welcome a stranger with a sincere enthusiasm that makes vooe ashamed of the cold-blooded. 1 Iftaghty politeness of an American. They Are Americans. And that calls to mind the dignified TCjolnder of one of these citizens upon being questioned as to where his sympathies were in our trouble with Mexico-- with the Americans or the Mexicans. His terse reply, "I am an American," w«8 sufficient Considering that* Marcely any of the inhabitants are educated, according to the average standard, that waa a remarkable repjjy. The bouses are nearly all built of •On-dried bricks of mud called adobe, tat down, more than likely, , in a sea of mud or dust, according to the season. with few windows, and facing haphazard in any direction, without regard to the streets. If there are streets, and b»ck door to tfce front or side of a neighbor. No lights on the street make navigation at night a risk, and no sidewalks of any kind add to the excitement. In the houses are piled hit or miss the most expensive of furnishings, as the big catalogue houses of the East know quite well that it pays to advertise where there Is money, and no nearby merchants to beguile with window displays. A fine kitchen cabinet may be right beside the phonograph with its dozens and dozens of records, mostly stringed and operatic music, and almost invariably the houses* are clean as scouring with soap and water can make them. If you eat with, them, you will eat chili, as it Is a standby like our bread and potatofM.,. Xfeerg la nattUcg elusive about th»': V"'fi|,|Pt lost any of the energy of its forefathers. It is a good plan to Www of it before you patronize a local barber, as it tends to loosen one's hair, at least it seems to,1 which answers the same purpose. * ' » The barber, wl|0 prebabtjr owni 1,000 head of sheep, wears a wool sack full of his own product on bis face, and his uniform is overalls that have been so long a part of his wardrobe that they could belong to no one but the barber. They also serve as a strop, after the razor baa beea dipped in the basin of Jellified conglomerate suds. In the stores, which one and all carry enormous stocks for ao email a place, you will be confronted with an odor, from the improperly cured hundreds of sheepskins piled along with the bright colored silks and shawls and artificial flowers, appeallngly displayed for the edification of the feminine residents. Perfume is sold here by the quart, as no proud young lady, or boy, would think of attending a dance without saturating both clothing and hair with it. Altogether Tierra Amarilla la an intensely interesting place to visit, if one likes the ^ti^-|hg^dinafy, _ Worry Canada it'Sk JC i Returned Soldiers Protest Against Foreigners Filling Positions They Need. EXPECT FIGHT ON REPEAL War Tlmea Election Act Repeal la Op- ' poaed--Educational Test May Be Made to Disfranchise Many of Teuton Origin. Toronto.--Despite the approach of normal peace when there will be no more "enemies," the alien enemy question Is still far from settled in Canada. Controversy surges around two points; first: Is the alien enemy to be allowed to work? and, second: Is he to be allowed to vote? When the war waa on the alien eft- NEW USE FOUND FOR POISON GAS ; - Poison gas is now being put to a good use in England. The gas Is Inejected into rat holes by means of a rubber tube. Most of the rats are killed tbderground, but .any which come out are dazed and easily struck down., emy worked. There were many objections to it, but labor was so scarce that the alien enemy who could work was rarely interfered with. And he made big wages. Now labor Is not so scarce, and the alieq enemy's Job Is more precarious. It Is not employers who are Interfering with him, nor Is it government authority. Pressure comes from the returned soldiers. When their verbal protests get no results or produce only formal assurances, which they know to be insincere, they have on. occasion raided the factory, sometimes with surprising results. Then the alien enemy la really out of a Job. As to the vote, the alien enemy lost his privilege during the war. Now the fight is as to whether It will be given back to him. The war times election act was based on the ground that the man who was not eligible to fight If needed wasn't eligible to vote, a rough and ready rule which served a purpose and it deliberately disfranchised all parsons of alien enemy origin whether they had Canadian citizenship or not. oj pepedxa sum jdb sjqj jo t«ada» immediately follow the close of the war, but now the government Is not anxious to refranchise a large voting population which Is not likely to support the government that originally disfranchised it. The parties are lining up for a real old-time party scrap on the issue. The fight will come in parliament on the introduction of the franchise act promised for an early date. One proposal Is that an educational test will be framed which will have the effect of disfranchising large numbers of former Canadian citizens of enemy origin. Even If they get the vote back many of the alien enemies are going to be ont of a job. And they would infinitely prefer wartime conditions when they had no vote but had a good job. Not many Oerman-born are affected, but there are several hundred thousand natives of the former Austrian empire in Canada. These cause the problem. .. Doesn't Favor Argument. Milwaukee.--Uros Sijan doesn't believe in arguing with robbers. Two visited his saloon. He did a backward somersault through an open door and saved $1,000, 1VILL FIX RUSS RAILWAY Allies Are Planning to Raise Necessary Money. It Will Take $20,000,000 to Put trans- , Siberian Railroad Line In Shape. Washington.--It wiH take $20,000,* 000 to put the Trans-Siberian railroad in proper working condition. Eight -nations are now trying to finance the road temporarily, without waiting for formal recognition of the Kolchak government at Omsk. Present indications are that recognition must come before financial aid on this scale can be extended. The interallied railway commission Mt Vladivostok has made strong repre- --Hlientations to each of the eight countries, urging the making available immediately of this amount of money in the form of credits, so that the system from Vladivostok to the Ural mountains may be put In working order. The United States, Great Britain, France, Italy, Czecho-Slovakla. Japan, China and Russia are the coun* tries represented on the railway commission. Italy, the Czecho-Slo^ vak republic, China and Russia are willing to accept their share of the responsibility for the loan, but cannot supply funds or credits, as everything they have they need for their own people. France, too, needs all her resources. Japan could furnish both cash and credit if the other allies would permit her to assume the entire burden. Oi^at Britain and the United States are each in a position to arrange the necessary credits, but the bankers of these two countries Insist upon having a tangible government back of the loan as a guarantee. The Omsk government is considered stable enough by the bankers to warrant the but until actual recognition is accorded the status and responsibility of the government are In doubt TAXES CAUSE PENNY FAMINE Mints Begin Making 2,000,000 One- .

Since May 1, when these taxes went Into effect, the United States mints and subtreasurles have been flooded with orders for millions of one-cent pieces and these coins have been shipped to banks by the bushels. To meet the continued demand the Philadelphia and Denver mints are working almost exclusively on one-cent pieces, and an extra shift of workers has been ordered for the Philadelphia mint. Two million onecent pieces will be turned out dally. The United States owns fulty onehalf of the world's stock of diamonds.

Fort Smith, Ark.--Four pints of colored water were sold for $21 and 12 paving bricks for $65, according to testimony offered in local courts against W. H.

Wfeetr Alten opened Girls Fat Enough, Is Jury's Verdict Cardiff.--A situation worthy of Gilbert A Sullivan's "Trial by Jury" developed here when a girl's class from the Howells Girls' school, Llandaff, filed past the Jury box In order that judge and Jury might judge as to their physical condition. The case was one in which the father of a pupil sued the- governors of the school for damages, alleging that his daughter was not properly fed. The inspection of a class satisfied the court that the majority of the girls seemed to be doing fairly well on the food supplied, and the Jury decided against the indignant father. the suitcase at home be found it contained 12 paving bricks instead of 12 quarts of wjOakr.

Huntsville, Ark.--An immense care, the largest in Madison county, and tpparently one of the largest in the s^ato, has been discovered on a farm belonging to Lemuel Kendall, four miles northeast of Alabam. The entrance is near King's river. The cave has been explored a dip tance of five miles, and many other passages opened beyond. Scores of rooms, i>ome small, but one more than a quarter of an acre in extent, were explored. There are many stalagmites and stalactites. This cave was evidently well-known in the past and seems to havo been used as a burial spot in primitive times. The sloping skull of a man of a vanished race ha« been found.

The mine has been averaging only about One clay's work a week since the first of the year and the shutdown will not mean a great deal in money, but the miners had been holding on with the hope that tbero would be more work in the future.
