Assistant District Attorney C. C.
Royall, while here yesterday, upon
complaint of citizens, noil tied the
operators of puncl.-boards and trade

the county and Mr. Koyall intends
that It shall be enforced here also.
Last week every punch board and
trade check game in Arizona as stop
ped by a very rigid law and the same
thing is to be accomplished In New
Mexlci. The practice is one of tbe
worse forms of gambling and is a di
rect violation of the New Mexico
laws of 1U12.

Getting The Habit.
Farmers and townspeople all over
the country are rapidly adopting the
new po.lcy of using writing paper and
envelopes with their names and ad
dresses neatly printed t hereon.
It has many advantages. It pre
vents the numerous errors In the
spelling of ñames. Insures correctness
of addnss, and guarantees the prompt
return of your letter la tbe event of
none delivery.
It is no more expensive than the
buying of stationery in small lots in
the old way, and addsa distinctlveair
of respectability and refinement to
every home.
It is a good thing, and has come to
stay and grow. Let the Liberal
print yours.

Starch has alwnliitely nothing to do with rais

We ask you to try a can of powder which con
