M..—{/P)—Stray burros are a grezter problem than stray dogs in th.s 'quaint ecity, where old Spain mingles with the wi'ld west. Majcr Jim MeConvery knows something ought to ke done about the preblem, bSut he doesn’t know what that scmething ought to Fe. Every n ght the telephcne inter rupts*the mayor’s sleep, and some !indig’nant citizen informs Mayor | Jim he is indignant because a | stray minstrel, with long rhyth ' mic ears, is serenading beneath the bedroom window. ' The mayor ‘oxnrefises h ¢ sympathy. for he. | too, knews that a braying burro can be a nuisance, just like a ding ling telephone, during the hours intended for slumber. | The stray burros ‘have been | driven out of town. But they { have found the way back, for they lseem to e fond cf the governor's i];laza, where they can n.bble {leaves off low-hanging trees. . . Once the mayor signed a decree | for the execution of the idle bur ' ros, but public opinion eompelled | him to rescind it. “First we had a hard time find ing someone without qualms of conscience over taking ‘tha Ilse of a burro,” McConvery relates. “When we did find a willing exe cutioner, there was a storm of protest from the pro-burro faction wh.ch accused us of trving to de strcy the town’s most atmoshperic asset,” Besides decorating the land scape, burros serve cnly one use ul purpose in New Mexico. The natives use them as pack animals for bring:ng wood and fagets from the mountains. Since there is little demand for fuel in this sou thern climate, a surplus of burros is inevitale. The wood dealer may have a pack of six, and when they get too old for their burdens, he turns them loose and catches some younger ones. Miotor tourists frequently are stecpped by burros on the county roads. To the blare of the auto mobile horn, they respond with a blare or two of their own, and fi nally they saunter leisure'y—very leisurely—out of the way. — s R e e TEAM TRULY THANKFUL EMPORIA, Kag. — () — The pious Presbyterians, as College of Emporia football players are call ed, think of Thanksgiving day, 1928, as an occasion of four bless ings on one gridiron.
