VIII NOT Veto

Washington, D. c., July 12.-
That Arizona prefers to wait in
definitely for statehood rather
than accept presidential dictation
as to what her constitution shall
not contain, is evidently the feel
ing in that territory. 1t is the
feeling expressed today by Eu-
gene Brady O,Neill of Arizona.
backed by scores of kilograms
received from every part of the
territory. This stand was taken
after Chairman Smith of the ter
ritories committee gave it out in
the senate yesterday that the
president would veto the Flood
resolution unless the recall of
Judges was cut out of the Arizo-
ma constitution.
Mr.. O'Neill has been in con-
ference with Senators Owen,
Shively, Bristow, Chamberlain
and others, all fast friends of the
territories, and they state that
they DO not believe the president
will veto the Flood resolution.
They have agreed to do all they
can to force a vote on the resolu-
ton, thus putting it up to the
president squarely, if it carries
in its present form, as they be-
lieve it will.

FISHING in
STREETS OF
ESTANCIh

Fishing in the streets of Es-
tancia, and catching something
too! No welfare not a candidate
for membership in the Ananias
Club neither have we been par
taking of hardware in liquid form.
1t is a fact witnessed by several
OF our citizens. Thomas and
Peaches VanStone were fishing
for pollywogs and caught them
in great numbers, right in the
street in front of theHughes Mer
camille Co. hardware store.
Frank Stanhart constructed a
seine or sieve and brought forth
the wiggly fellows in great mul-
titudes. Sir Thomas and Miss
Peaches took their catch home
and will place them in a tank,
where they expect to grow frogs
for the table. At the same time
the frogs will eprove scavengers

7 WENTy-S
Days FROM
LIBERTY

Las Vegas N. NJ, July IL. =
With only twenty six days be-
tween him andl liberty, Pedro
Roberto, a convict employed on
a road building gang at Tecolote
near Las Vegas, was stricken
dead instantly by a bolt of light
ming while about his duties as
camp cook on Monday. Roberto
had been in especially high spirits
at the prospect of the speedy
ending of his sentence and the
discarding Of the garb of a felon
assumed in 1910 when he was
sent up fromSocorro for ayear or
eighteen months for assault with
a deadly weapon with intent to
kill. Roberto, twenty-siX years
old and an Italian was engaged
in preparing the evening meal
at the camp when a heavy cleo
trical and rain storm blew up.
Following a vivid flash of light
ming and deafening crash Robert
tie was found lying prone on the
ground amid his pots and kettles
with a spoon still clasped in his
hand. Death was practically ms
tantaneous and the body was not
burned or mutilated save for a
small round hole in the top of
the head. The hair and scalp
were also scared. Other men in
the camp were stunned by the
lightning but none was injured.
Roberto was buried at Tocolote.

RECORD
CL]L,|NGS TO
UNTRUTHS

The Willard Record wastes
a whole column in trying to
lead its readers to believe that
the wrangle over the ball
game on the Fourth was alto
gether Estancia's fault. We
DO not know who the infor-
maDt of the Record is as to the
game, but either he is ignorant
of what actually occurred or is
trying to mislead. OF course
Willard dlslfkes the name of
losing the majority of the
games this year after having
croWed so loudly last year,
when Estancia was the loser.
but deception will not help the
matter.
lfthe Record says, Willard
was willing to continue the
game, why was it that the
Estancia boys took their
places ready to proceed and
the Willard boys refused to
do so? For it is a fact which
cannot be denied, that the Es-
tancla boys were ready to pro.
ceed with the game, taking
their positions on the diamond
to do so.
The ball which was blocked
when thrown to third. and
which gave Jeuson home, was
not the ball which was de-
livered by the pitcher to Never
and which Meyer struck and
was put out at first. The
blocked ball was in the hands
of Love Baker, who stood near
third, and was later thrown
by him to the pitcher. The
Records statement that the
same ball was delivered to the
batter, is untrue, whether in
tentlonally so or not. we do
not know. AS to the rules
saying "may", in IL previous
inning, oneof Wizards players
was given second on Il blocked
ball ut first, and if it was right
to do this once 1t certainly
was not wrong to do it later
in the same game.
The News has no untruths
to retract as we published
none. Anyone knowing the
facts and all the facts in the
case, will decide that Jenson
was entitled to home and the
score stood two to two, the
Record to the contrary not
withstanding.

PRODUCERS WILL
ORGANIZE SATUR-
Day AFTERNOON
Farmers aze asked to Pledge Certain Acreage
to be PlantedSto Cabbage next Season
so that Marketing may be in CARROTS

The albuquerque Evening
Herald of Wednesday has an edi-
torial on Farm Cooperation
which is worth more than mere
ly a casual reading. The article
shows how the California pro-
ducers gained not only notoriety
but that more Important item,
good prices and riches, through
cooperation. Likewise Rocky
Ford, Colorado, through it's Pro-
ducers Organic alton has given
the Rocky Ford canteloupe a
name and fame, so that many
other countries are now market
ing their product as Rocky Fords.
Continuing the article says;
Now it so happens that the Es-
tancia farmers have placed their
feet upon the ladder which leads
to similar fame and affiuence, and
the article by which they hope to
attain such heights is none other
than the humble cabbage.
They are going to form cab
bage growers association, tell
every man what acreage he may
seed to cabbage, what he must
do to his crop and when, he shall
harvest it, and then the assocla-
ton is going to sell it for him.
The item of directing the cul-
tivation of the crop ia one that is
Of special Importance to the CO.
operative farmer. The associa-
lions as a body can employ an eX
pert who can direct the growing
Of any product to a much better
advantage than any individual
farmer. Beside that, no farmer
can obtain such service as such
an expert gives for the very
simple reason that he cannot af-
ford to employ such a man. But
the associations can and do, and
the farmer keeps on getting
valuable information and bigger
crops.
Estancia valley farmers have
none of the objects t. combat
with which the early Californians
were con fronted. They have no
grievance against the commission
men who sold and bought the
California crops for figures of
thei: own making. They are
not, as we're the Golden state
farmers, compelled to produce
and sell top quality crops for Sc
cond quality prices in order to
sell at all. There is no railroad
discrimination against any of
them. But there are a whole lot
of mighty good reasons whythey
should combine for greater re-
suits as the Californians have
done.
These are the facts that by
combination they can buy farm
supplies in quantities and effect
an economy; they can make up a
carload of produce at any time in
season and save freight, beside
delivering their goods in the best
lof condition, which would not be

The movement to organize a
Produce Growers Association OF
Estancia Valley farmers has met
with an enthusiastic reception, a
large number being in favor of
the organization. We know and
every farmer in the valley knows
that we can raise the crops, espe-
cially all kinds of garden truck,
in quantity, quality and flavor,
which cannot be excelled. When
any mention is made of growing
truck, the first word is But
where is your market?' Natural
ly enough if every farmer must
hunt his own market, this would
be only too true. But with an
organization, and ever} farmer
working with every other farmer
a sufficient quantity Of one pro-
duct or several products can be
grown to market in carload lots,
snd the market will not need be
hunted. In fact, as soon as 1t is
known that the Estancia Valley
will grow a certain acreage OF
cabbage, or any other product for
that matter, the market Will
hunt us. Whenever a few car
loads of Estancia Valley cabbage
have been placed on the market,
Estancia will be on the map in
delibly.
For the purpose of organizing
an association and securing pledg
es from the farmers as to what
acreage of cabbage each will
grow next year, a meeting OF
those interested is called for Sat
urday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at
the News office. We want every
farmer who will agree to grow a
half acre or more of cabbage to
be here. If we are crowded out
of the office. we'll find another
place. But come! At this meet
ing there should be from a hun
dred to a hundred and fifty acres
pledged to be planted to cabbage
during the coming season. Cab
bage can be grown and at a pro-
fit at half cent pound in the
valley. While this is a low price,
it will do for an estimate. Put
ting 1000 plants to the acre, the
harvest should be about 70, 900
pounds or thirty-fve tons per
acre. For with heads running as
high as twenty-eight pounds
each, the average head will weigh
ten pounds. At a half cent a
pound or ten dollars per ton, this
means $3.50 per acre. Two-thirds
or more of this should be profit,
as the cost of growing the crop
is not large.
If a start is made on cabbage
next year, within a few yew
years all kinds of truck Will be
shipped from the Estancia Valley
in carload lots. Come cut Sat
urday and talk it over. Estancia
Cabbage will make the Valley
Famous.

Bread in a Hurru

w. S. Gable or Beloit, Kansas,
pulled off a great stunt the other
day when he showed the natives
how quickly bread can be made
from the standing grain. The
header was drivenainto thewheat
field at 3:14 O'Clock. One minute
later the cut wheat in the straw
was at the sebarator. A quantity
was threshed and at 1928 was at

later the biscuits were removed

the ccse if individuals held their
produce until each could make a
car shipment; the marketing of
produce can be done at the times
most advantageous to the grower,
and all over production can be
avoided.
Increased efficiency has always
been a prime factcr in economy
and competent management of a
consolidation has never yet failed
to increase the efficiency in any
industry. Greater economy
coupled with a production of the
highest class just large enough
to satisfy the demand, produces
prosperity
All these things are possible to
the Estancia farmers, and con-
sequently pro ,perity in greatly
increased measure is now within
their reach.
Since the Estancia valley ter
ritory is commercially tributary
to this city the advantages to
Albuquerque through the in
creased marketing of Estancia
produce and the increased buying
capacity Of the Estancia farmers
need hardly be pointed out.

promises to be the worst blizzard OF
the year struck Nebraska to-day and
is rapidly sweeping eastward and
southwark. Already the snow Is
piled high on the prairies and rail-
road traffic to the north and west is
seriously impeded.
The temperature has dropped
steadily since o'clock this after
noon, and within three hours reg
istered fall of 40 degrees. At 2
o'clock to-day there were no clouds
and the temperature stood 20 degrees
above zero. Shortly after a cool wind
came from the north and before
night binding blizzard of sleet and
snow was raging.
At Neigh, Neb., three feet of snow
fell during the day and Northwest
ting through the drifts. In that por-
ton of the State telegraph and tele-
phone wires are seriously interfered
with.
Across the State line in South Da-
kota the storm is even worse than in
Nebraska, the snow being the deep
est OF the year. The entire Black
Hills are covered with snow and ice.
In southern Nebraska little snow
fell, the moisture taking the form

One hundred and twenty-eight
bodies had been taken to the morgue
up to IL o'clock tonight. There
were then seven bodies remaining on
the ninth floor, according to Chief
Croker. who directed the work OF
removal. Three victims died at st.
Vincent's hospital and three at Belle

juries is insane from shock. There
are still number of bodies in the
basement, but 1t will be impossible
to tell how many till the water is
pumped out. The subcellar. Is filled
with water waist deep. It will be an
all nights task pumping 1t out. The
police estimate $50 lives lost and
tiremen say the number may reach
ITS.
The old covered dock of the de-
partment of charities was converted
into morgue. For hours vehicles
bearing bodies rolled up before It,,
the bodies were carried inside and
friends and relatives of the dead who
are mostly Italians, crowded outside.
Force was necessary to restrain the
crowd. Late tonight the police per-
mitted the crowd to begin filing
slowly through to examine the bod
les, which were made as presentable
as possible, and lay covered with
sheets. In most cases ornaments
only were the methods of identified

FINE SPECIMEN OF MANHOOD

The Bowling Green Messenger
says:
The Paducah News-Democrat, his
home paper, contains the formal an
nouncement of the candidacy OF
Judge William NJ. Reed for the Dem
ocratic nomination for Governor OF
Kentucky.
Without being in any wise instru-
mental in the plan of bringing Judge
Reed into the race, the editor of the
Messenger desires to commend his
candidacy to the good people of the
Third Congressional District.
Down in Jackson's Purchase,
where both Judge Reed and the edi-
tor of the Messenger were raised, In
the homely vernacular of the people.
we call him BILL" and it is likely
that when he is nominated and elect
ed there will be those who will stick
to the familiar cognomen. But We
desire to say that he is no counter
felt Bill. He is as genuine and as
clean a Bill as was ever issued from
Gods treasury department.
Rich in legal learning, ripe in the
experience of men who fight for
principle, honest by nature and by
life of practice, clean in his pri-
vate life and in his public career,
he is eminently fitted to adorn the
Governors chair. Judge Reed never
trimmed in any political gale. He
always had his views on political
questions and never hesitated to ex-
press them, whether they were popu-
lar or unpopular with the populace.
AS a member of the General Assem-
bly,. he was a leader. In the practice
of his profession, he was ethical. AS
Judge on the bench, he was as fair
as he was firm. In the very height
of what is called the night rider dis
pute, he was never known to swerve
hair from what was right.
In the very bloom of a vigorous
manhood, in the full possession of
his bodily and mental faculties, with
out any entanglements with political
factions, without any promises to
State politicians, he can enter the
race unhampered and unpledged.
Moreover. IL he is elected Cover
nor, he will be a Governor that we
need not be ashamed of. From Goth
am to the Golden Gate, from Maine
to Mexico, every Kentuckian can
hold up his head proudly and say to
all inquirers: THE name of our
Governor is Judge William NJ. Reed,
formerly of the city of Paducah."
Judge Reed does not know of this
article. He owes the Messenger not
cent for 1t. All that we shall re-
quire of him when he takes his seat
is that he shall be as unlike our
present Chief Executive as the Lord
will let him be.
