No Food for Germany

London Oct. 2.-Holland has given
assurances that it will prevent the
expectation of foodstuffs from Holland
to Germany or to other countries now
eminent greatly Ssimplifies the differ
ences which have arisen concerning
cargoes of food destined for The Meth
erlands, and makes it possible for the
British government to cease the seiz-
ure and investigation of cargoes of
foodstuffs consigned to Dutch dealers.
The decision will eliminate also the
friction caused by the seizure of food
stuffs bound from the United States
to Rotterdam. 1t is declared as graft
fying both to the British foreign Sec
reiary Sir Edward Grey, and the Am
erican ambassador, Walter Hines
Page, who have been comforting daily
as to what shipments may be properly
considered contraband A great per-
centage of the American exports to
Holland is wheat and other foodstuffs,
the status of which is now known and
defined.
The British and American govern
ments are still exchanging represen-
tations regarding copper and some
other commodities shipped from Am
erican ports to Holland and consider
ed by Great Britain as contraband of
war. The negotiations, it was made
clear, are proceeding amicably.
Much American copper shipped to
Dutch ports is reported as being sent
for sale in the open market withoU
consignment to a definite customer.
Great Britain pays for the copper seiz-
ed, and the question has arisen whe-
ther such seizure is an interruption
of trade, fnasmuch as the cargo is not
definitely sold and billed to desig-
mated firm.

I. 1--WE SHOULD WORRY"

1t takes an emphatic expression to
describe the excellence of conditions
in New Mexico this fall Emphasis is
best attained by tie use of slang or
profanity-doubtless many people will
deny the truth of this statement and
as The optic is avuIse to the utiliza-
ton of the latter it will have to re-
sort to something a bit devillsh.
New Mexico, then, undoubtedly is
in the WE SHOULD WORRY" class
bis year. Wars and rumors of wars
IN Europe and Mexico need not cause
alarm or make anybody tighten his
purse strings. New Mexico is full of
products of the farm and ranch and
full of people who have the money
to purchase these products or find
eastern buyers for them-and at a
good price. Never have the crops of
the dry farmers, the irrigationists and
the orchard owners been better. Never
has there been more and better wool.
Never have there been more lambs on
the pastures and never has fall wealth
er been more encouraging for the
stock men, due to warmth and plenty
of grass.
This condition prevails all over the
state and San Miguei county has en-
joyed just as great prosperity as any
. other section of New Mexico. Mer-
chants report better business during
the summer and early fall than they
have enjoyed in years. Eastern states,
where the curtailment of the ocean
traffic and suspension of the stock
exchange have worked havoc, are
said to be in bad way as regards
business. But New Mexico and other
western and southwestern states, un-
hurt by the war, are in a measure to
enjoy the full fruits of their bounte-
Gus harvests.

COUNTIES
HAVE IMPROVED
SCHOOLS
STATE SUPERINTENDENT PLEAS
ED WITH WHAT HE SAW ON
OFFICIAL VISIT

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Oct. 2.-That Colfax
and Union counties show a marked
/ increase in educational enthusiasm"
is the declaration of Alvan N. White,
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton, who has just returned from a
IA days tour through those two coun-
ties
a. splendid effort has been made to
iincIease the school attendance every
where in Union county," declared Mr..
White, "and this year shows an at
tendance of 27 in the high school at
Clayton, whereas last year there were
hut 16 pupils. The striking thing
al out the enrolment In Clayton this
year is that the attendance at schools
is as large as the number Of pupils
listed of school age There is an eff
cicnt truant officer IN Clayton, that is
a certainty.
Union county has been given $4,000
of state aid funds and County School
Superintendent H. H. Errett has un-
doubtedly put the money to good use,
fine new buildings having been erect
ed in various parts of the county.
81 visited the schools of Colfax coun-
tyJ and found that Dawson is forging
ahead with several new teachers
they have II teachers there now-and
a total enrolment OF $50 out of 712
listed of school age There are about
20 pupils to a room. A new building
with a new teacher has been opened
recently"
Mr.. White said that he visited the
five coal camps of the st. Louis,
Rocky Mountain and Pacific railway,
having obtained a special permit to
see the miners and their settlement.
"All of the children in these camp
schools are doing Well declared Mr..
white, "and great progress is made
despite the polyglot character of the
ca mps where ten or 12 languages are
spoken. / was very Hospitality treated
BY the officials who showed me around
and by the miners whom l met. l
must say this was most interesting
visit, showing how these children of
so many foreign lands are becoming
Americanized, educated and trained
to be good citizens of the great United
States.
Il was greatly interested in the visit
to Raton, city which has made so
many improvements in the past few
years. Ration has it's own water works
and now is completing a municipal
building which will be credit to New
Mexico. 1t will have an auditorium
with seating capacity of 1000. Ra-
tor has one of the best public libraries
i'll the state. And now Ration is hold
ing fair, and there is every indica-
ton that it will prove a great success.
The high school building has now
an attendance probably one-third larg-
er than last year, and there is large
enrolment in the grades. Ration can
boast of 32 teachers this year.
The high school building has been
remodelled and now has one of the
best equipped manual training and do
nestle science departments in the
state. l expect to see great results
from the work along Industrial educa-
tional lines this year"

Four Municipal Markets
Opened in High Prices War

NEW YORK, Aug. 2o.-Farmers
within fifty-mile radius of New
York today were formally notified by
Borough President Marks. of Manhat-
tan, that municipal markets will soon
be in opera ion in four places here.
The city market scheme is the first
direct effort by New York to solve
the problem of the rise in food prices
incident upon the European war
President Marks asked an appro-
priation for improvements on the
market sites several months ago, but
did not get the money. Today he
said he would open the selling sta
lions without improvements. They are
located under the Manhattan and
Greensboro bridges at Third avenue
and East 129th street and at the Fort
Lee ferry. The city will attempt to
eliminate the middleman by having
the customer purchase direct from
the farmer.

Effects War Will Have

Although some florists in Newark

declare the trade will be seriously
hampered. Some say the business
