IN THE CAUSE OF PREPAREDNESS

There seems to be a stronger sentiment in
New Mexico for an increased appropriation
fer the New Mexico Military Institute, locat-
ed at Roswell. The N. M. M. I. has been a
very valuable institution for this state, bring
ing New Mexico and its natural resources
to The attention of the entire nation at a time
when notice was taken. Very few people even
in this state realized that in the N. M. M. l..
we had an educational institution which was
classed with the best schools of the nation
and was one of the ten in the United States
to be distinguished by the War Department.
We, ourselves, have permitted the insti-
tuticn to get along as best it could with a
small appropriation and the more or less
doubtful privilege of supporting itself, with
but slight assistance, and grown valuable.
When wars wild alarms rang through the
nation it was suddenly realized here in New
Mexico that we had something to be proud of,
and an educational institution Of which the
nation was particularly proud.
As the New Mexico Military Institute has
made this state famous throughout this great
nation as being one Of the youngest states
with one Of the best military schools, if not
very best one, no one is going to object
to a much needed appropriation for neces-
airy buildings. The school buildings are now
entirely Inadequate, the demands exceeding the
acccnodations, and for a few thousand dol
New Mexico cannot afford to have its
denied a useful military training, parti-
as the mental training is kept up to
lie high plane demanded by the War Depart
nent Of schools placed on the distinguished
ist.

THE LAND OF BEANS

New Mexico has demonstrated the fact
TINS year that she is not the dry barren waste
that 1t is sometimes claimed she is. The Es-
tarc1a valley this year shipped one hundred
and fifteen cars of beans to the eastern mark
cts and there was shipped from the little town
OF Mountainair seventy eight cars of beans
this fall. These beans brought from six to
seven cents per pound on the market. and
proved a better money getter to the acre that
Kansas and Oklahoma wheat at S1.oo Der
b'sf'el. Many other portions of the state ship
ped large quantities of beans, but the above
places are the only ones we have the actual
on.
In addition to the bean crop, nature is
kindly smiling on the Sunshine state. This
tall Gross-Kelly Co., have shipped from var
points in the state thirty six cars of pinon
nuts and expect to ship enough more this
winter to make fifty cars. Tt is estimated that
1t least fifty cars will be shipped from other
'olnts in the state, making a total of one
hundred cars.

NEW MEXICO PROUD OF HER SCHOOLS

While it is true that New Mexico it yet
in her swaddling clothes, she has one Of the
best school systems OF any state in the Union,
and the New Mexico schools are rapidly COM
inc to the front. The citizenship in the state
believe in education, and that the life and
future prosperity of any country lies in the
training of their boys and girls, and nothing
IS spared by the people that will advance the
interests of the school system. The quarter
ly school apportionment of the Sunshine state,
made December Ist, was $I75,ooo.oo or ST.. 80
for every pupil of school age in the state, and
is the largest apportionment ever made for
this purpose in New Mexico. 1t is estimated
that this years school census will show u.s.
900 pupils of school age within her borders.

THE WORLD IS FULL OF RUTS

The world is full of ruts, my boy, some
shallow and some deep; and every rut is full
of folks as high as they can heap. Each one
that's groveling in the ditch is growing at
his fate, and wishing he had got his chance
before it was too late. They lay it all to
something else, or say it was their luck; they
never could consider it was just their lack of
rluck. Now, here the word of one that's lived
"lcan through from soup to nuts-the Lord
don't send no derricks round to hist folks
of ruts.

GRADUATING INTO OWERALLS

At Denver Yesterday David Starr-Jordan.
one Of modern Americas real thinkers, voiced
a few of those sentiments for which he has
become Justly famous. There are a few of
them with which we find it a bit hard to
agree, but there are others which are really
worth while and which are a step or two ahead
of the progress of the day.
In his argument he talked on the good
points of the American school system and the
best exposition Of it is shown by the follow
ing contrast between English and American
systems:
"Then. too. our colleges are more practi-
cal. There is a saying that an Oxford or
Cambridge man is graduated into a frock coat
and a silk hat, and that an American is gra-
duated into ~overalls. That is true in the broad
est sense. The colleges of this cot.ltrv pre-
pare for the actrral FORK Of life. and only in
rare instances does an American take a COL
lege course merely to better his social posi-
ton.
"Tne three-vear curse also should be put
into effect. 7 think that gradually is being
done in America.
Zone way in which the American COL
leges excel Is in Their optional system of
studies. The fact that a student can select
own studies is breaking down the effect

his cry about the high cost of living is
a confession that we do not know how to
order our affairs. There has not vet. arisen
a condition that makes it impossible for famil-
les to live at their old scale. The merchants
and producers raise their prices because we
are willing to pay them. The cry about the
scarcity OF beef is not very well timed, when
we can get Argentine beef at about fifty per
cent less than the packers charge for our own
product. And it seems a little odd. b,t If is
true, that in war ridden Germany you get a
loaf OF bread twice the size of the one you get
here for a nickel, when wheat is going to the
German markets.

THE BOOM OF COLUMBUS.

If Rancho Villa knew what had hap pened to Columbus, N. M., since his raid, he would doubtless think the ways of the American more incom- prehensible than ever. The town which he tried to destroy, with very fair results, is rebuilt and extended in every direction, and the business and population have been many times multiplied.
 In real estate activity it is almost a rival of Fl Paso. One realty firm brides itself on selling lots every day. Another has sold more than 50 in the post 30 days. A third, which under took to sell a subdivision, has sold it. self out of property, while fourth has opened up a new tract and is selling that. Houses to, rent are at a pre- mium, hard to get and high in price. Business is at flood tide. These are great days for Columbus.
 Perhaps, with a good running start, Columbus will keep right on growing. Again, perhaps when the troops are withdrawn, the town will lapse to about where it was before the Villa raid. At any rate, Columbus will long remember the big days of 1916 and ad- init that Villa started something"

 "The average American youth early learns to throw a baseball with speed and accuracy and it is because of that we, as nation, are especially fitted to wage the modern war of the trenches. Baseball is encouraged at all our stations and the skill dis played by marines-even tntrained re- cruits-in the bomb and grenade throwing practice is really remark able" said Drill Sergeant Moore to- day.

EUGENE CARUTHERS KILLED |.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. 22.-Eugene Garuthers, aged 2S, son of B. G. Car uthers. president of the First National Bank of Yuma, and owner of the lar lest mercantile store in Gila Bend, was shot and instantly killed in a pistol duel with Russell Johnson, prominent young cattleman yesterday. The shoot ing occurred in front of the Caruthers' store at Gila Bend.
 Young Caruthers and Johnson, who is the head of the Gild Bend & Cattle Company, have been having trouble for some time. The dead man has been looking after his fathers cattle inter ests here, and the subject of fences has been gradually approaching an ln- flamable point.
 Johnson was sitting in an auto i'll front of the Caruthers store when young Caruthers came out of the door
 Although there was at least one eye witness to the affray, no one knows what started the argument. Both men were seen to pull their guns, but John- son was the quicker on the draw and fired twice before Caruthers could get into action. The first shot did not take effect, but the second penetrated the heart. Johnson used 3S automatic and Caruthers was armed with a 32 automatic.
 The Arizona Republican this morn ing said Both the men are well known over the state. The Caruthers family is one of the most prominent in Arizona, the father of the dead man l being one of the wealthiest cattlemen in the state Johnson's family lives iD California. The Gila Land & Cattle . Company, whose interests he was look ing after, has it's headquarters in TVc- son.
 Johnson was brought to Phoenix last night by Southern Pacific Officer O'Neill.
 It was feared that the many friends and relatives of the dead youth might attempt to take the law into their own hands.
 Caruthers' father was informed of the tragedy by wire. He wired back that he was on hi wsay Other rela- tives of the boy wired that Johnson : had better be removed from town, as feeling was running high. According to Deputy O'Neill, eye witnesses claim Caruthers had his gun in his hand, and had called to Johnson that he was going to shoot out his heart" He started toward the machine in which Johnson was sitting, holding the gun upright, It IS alleged, with the safety down and ready to shoot. Johnson's gun was III pocket on the front door of his ma chine. but he managed to get it out and shoot before Caruthers could pull the trigger.
 Sheriff Adams. Deputy Sherifi Sears and County Attorney Candy went to Gila Bend last night by auto l but arrived after O'Neil and Johnson had left for Phoenix.
