industrious farmer is sowing wheat
and have been (or so sometime.
The first sown is how shining with
a deep sea green. And some of
tho calamity howlers are trying to
make believe that the merchants
of Tucumcari are wanting these
people to leave that others with
money to spenu may come ana
Me that tlllcth his land shall be
satisfied with bread, but he that
followeth vain persons is void of
understanding. There is, and al
ways will Ih, hewers of wood and
drawers of water. No government
did more to increase the opportun
ities of its subjects than ours, and tae their places, such balderdash,
those who have not improved those! Had tluv been ttrnctical farmers.
opportunities have no one to blame showed pluck and energy becom
ing themselves; the government I JnR nn Am rican, I wilfguarnntee
has had immense cpiantities of juib that the business men ol Tucum

ing that land to actual settlers for I they could in securing seed wheat
more than half a century, but in no on tme and at a reasonable price,

homestead until final proof could ',;. hard lor him to rnnfi-is that
!e made. 'I he pioneers of all states
have gone through many hardships
unknown to the Kople of Juay
county. This .move by some of
our citizens in petitioning the pres
ident for aid shows a weakness un
becoming in an American citizen.
It is plain to every upright, go
ahead, independent, industrious
citizen that this is a fact. V that
have lived to pass the three-scoie
mark know that the mans of tin
American people are generous, and
have always responded promptly
to any part ol our country that was
in need ol aid, or even to foreign
countries. The linger part ol our
wealthy citizens started out in life
as heweis ol wood and drawers ol
it is all his own fault. I want to
impress upon the minds of some
of these parties that the course
th"y have been pursuing, and are
pursuing now. will only end in dis
grace to themselves and their fol
lowers. I want to sav that there
is no disgrace to labor at an honest
calling: Alexander the Great took
a poor gardener and made him
ruler over the country in which In;
lived. Why? Because he saw a
contented man who would rule his
people wisely and well, and the
great conquerer made no mistake.
Now I ask vou to study well
your own capacity, follow an hon
est calling one that you can take
inn interest in, one thnt you take
water. We in North America, , pruie j t0 mnko it a success. Too
have a new world to develop, and manv Ket wjst. jn ,.jr own con

in any other part of the world, but schooling bv a change in school
have no place lor the idler: there ,ooJS wver'v yuari so thl. rnij
is no scale of wages for the idler or ;Krowg up reduc.ited and unpre

nature produces fruits, he would
then only have to pluck and eat,
then rid of such a class w- would
have more sunshine along our path
way of life. Our part ol Juay
county has l)een falsely represent'
fives the irrovvn m son a nomadic
training, and hence manv parents
are heartbroken. "Oh where is
mv son tonight, and where is mv
daughter tonight: oh IimI we kept

ed at Tucumcari: two parties have'ofour neighbors who struggled
through, yes thev are now well lis
some of tlu-ir lol'ovvers ars now an
gry because we are denouncing
those falsehoods. As for one I
speak for myself- I have always
tried to prove my faith by my works.
Not being able to work for years I
hire all the work done on my farm
as Iwst I can. With onlv a twenty
acre crop I grew potatoes, beans,
peas, onions, corn, and kaflir, a
fair crops with a seventy-three
days drought: had land plowed
deep in winter, planted in spring
while moisture was sufficient to
bring it up; cultivated shallow;
and now while these calamity how-
ed on their home, and have their
children near them and contented
and happy too."
Tht; man hunting lor a readv
made fortune is usually unlucky:
the man who is too good to hew
the wood and draw the water will
never make a country or build a
citv, he never has, he never will.

Public HcrvltK anil Conservation,
Wnshitu'ton, Oct. l'rof. Irv
ing Fisher, the eminent political
economist of Vale I'niversitv, who)
in one ol his papers before the re
cent International Tub- rculosis I
Congress in Washington di dared
that consumption cost" the people
of the I nitctl States more than a!
billion dollars a venr is preparing
nn exhaustive report for the Na
tional Conservation Commission,
winch will contain not onlv these
figures but similar data on the
economic loss to the country Irom
all other preventable diseases.
I'rol- Fisher is a member ol the
National Conservation Commis
sion and for many years has been
carrying on studies along these
lines. The commission received
letters from phvsirians all over
the country urging it to consider
th- bearing of public henlth on
the economic efficiency of the na
tion in its i (forts to ascurtnin the
resource of the country.
The commission from the be-'
ginning has contemplated reports
on the economic aspects of srver
al phases ol the Conservation
movement which affect the dura
tion and effectiveness ol human
life, l.ut Ptol. Fisher has under
taken to prepare a comprehensive
statement of the whole subject ol
the relations of public health to
the general held ol conservation,
and especially as to the waste Irom
preventable diseases and unneces
sary deaths.
Dr. Fisher is professor ol po
litical economy at Yah- I'nivi rsi
tv and cr airman ol the "Commit
tee of One Hundred" of the Am
erican Association for the Advance
ment ol Science, which has for a
long tune been carrying on prop
aganda lor the increase ol nation
al health through the elimination
ol preventable diseases. This
committee of One Hundred is
composed of physicians and men
engaged in active sociological
work in everv part of the country,
and the result". r their investiga
tions and experience are all avail
able to Dr. Fisher, so that his re
port ought to be tlie Miost thorough-going
and complete stinunat..
ol the situation ever made.
At the Tubercblosis Congress.
Prof. Fisher declared that i ?S,ooo
persons die ot consumption even
year. The cost ol medical atten
dance and the loss ol earnings bi
lore death average at least $2,410,
he said, while if to this is aiUb d
the money that might hnvi be 11
earned with health, the total !os
in each case is about S.onn f I,
I pointed out, also, that tin disease
usually attacks voung mm and
women ust at the time when thev
are beginning to am mom v and
cutsotfthur arnmg pivvtr lor
about three years on an uvetage,
before thuv die.
This subject of the economic
value to the country ol a general
raising of the nverage health came
up in the Governor's Conference
at the White House in May. Dr.
George M. Kober in his speech on
the "Conservation ol Life and
Ili-aUh bv Improved Water Sup
ply" at the cotileience presented
figures which showed that the de
crease in the "vital assets" ol the
country through typhoid fever in
a single year is more than S350,.
000,000. Typhoid is spread by
polluted water largely so that the
death rate from this disease can
be directly reduced by the purifi
cation of city drinking water. Dr.
Kober quoted statistics to show
that the increased value of the
water to the citv ol Albany, where
the tvphoid fever rate was reduced
from 104 in 1 00,000 to 20 bv an
IhVieiit filtration plant, amounts
to $475,ooo a year.ol which $350,.
000 mav be considered a real in
crease to the vital assets of the
citv. Census llureau figures show
thnt the average annual death rate
Irom typhoid in cities with con
taminated water supplies was re
duced Irom do 4 per 1 00,000 to
10 8 bv the substitution ol pure
supplies.
Dr. Kober cited estimates show
ing that the average length ol hu
man life in the sixteenth n-nturv
was between is and 20 years, and
thnt at the close ol the eighteenth
centurv it was a little more than
30, while todav it is between 3S
and 40 indeed, the span ol life
since t SSo has be n lengthened
about six vears.
