New Mexico has rounded

a territory, having been sui-h
for a longer time than any
other in the history of the
United States. She has ev
erything that entitles her to
statehood except the certain
ty of voting for a republican
President. This is, it in sain,
why she has not been admit

People who think. that A-
mericans are money grabbers
do not realize the thousands
of pitiful catch pennies that

For instance, it is said that
in London restaurants, you
jire required to pay separate
iy and distinctly for a nap
k'n, a glass of water, a slice
of bread, and so on.. We are
not so mean as all that.
Of course, the abolition of

Minister Wu, we spe, is try

preserving its territorial enti

Official reports totheState
Department assert that
'more than a million Chinese
Jiave perished as a result of
the operations of the allies
there. Consider what t h i s
means. Neither Attilla, nor
Timour, or any of the other
great killers of history ever
slaughtered one tenth of that
number in double the time.
Who are the people who are

1 have known Vlajrjiie from
her birth, having lived a near
neighbor to her, and have al
ways found her to be an obe
.beat Kill to her father and
mother, and an affectionate
sister to her brothers and sis
ters, always endeavoring to
promote their happiness.
A short time before the
death nhgel came for her she
aroused and told her mother
and friends not to weep for she
had had an insight into that
glory land, that home that
her Savior had wrought out
for her on the cross., tellinc
them that she would soon be
enjoying the realms of iinmor
