PEOPLE ON THE BORDER
GO WELL ARMED

go well armed. They do not go alone.
Many holi-ups occur. Bands OF Mex
leans prowl around. You hear many
stories here OF adventures, and es-
capes. Tie border is long and for the
most parz Unprotected 1t is easy for
Mexican bandits to cross most any
where. A barbed wire fence is the
only barrier The border. on the
American side, is fun Of Mexieans who
have moved across. They are not ali
good Mexicans. And some folks aoaht
there being any coed Mexicans, ex--
cent dead ones.
II Paso is pretty well protected
Three thousand soldiers are stationed
in and around Fl Paso. Plans for de
fence and attack on Juarez are work
ed out. sieual wires and phone lines
run Everywhere, a possible need may
suggest itself Machine guns are
ready for Immediate use. A company
Of home defenders of 500 are ready
for call. Every home has its arms
and ammunition And the hills above
the town are fun OF cannon.
One fear here is of the Mexican
population Twenty thousand Mexi-
cans live in FL Paso. Many have come
across recently These belong to the
lower order. In case OF trouble be-
tween the two countries riot and plum
der would be a natural result.
The town is harboring many of the
richer class Of MexIcans who fear to
go back home. This is the open sea
son for rich AIexicans in Mexico. The
season has heen open for about five
years. Up in this end OF Mexico the
wealthy class has no standing. They
have simply moved over. FL Paso.
San Antonio. San Diego and Los
Angeles are full of people who be-
long. or did belong, to the property
holding class in Mexico. In case of
trouble with Mexico it is feared that
the leoting bandits would make a

more profitable fields of adventure.
These Mexican families have been
looted OF about everything lootable.
But that doesn't make any difference
to the impressions here.
You can't blame the border folks
for having fears OF the rougher ele-
ments OF Mexicans. Up north we
have heard of Columbus. and of San
Isabel. and OF the Big Bend raid the
other night. That is about all, and We
treat the Mexican situation about like
the East treated the labor war in Colo
RADIO two years ago.
But these folks down here. hear of

POISONING BEST REMEDY
FOR GRASSH0PPER PEST

County Commissioner w. A Chap
son recently wrote 20 c. P. Gillette,
state entomologist, in relation TO the
best means of checking the grass
hopper pest; asking him particularly
about the results obtained in other
sections of Colorado in fghting it by
encouraging disease among. these in
sects. In REPLY MIR. Gillette says:
Some ten years ago we sent ont
from the agricultural experiment sta
ton at Fort Collins diseased grass
.hoppers to determine whether or not
farmers could spread the disease in
their fields and found that it was a
failure. probably. in every instance.
In fact. We could not succeed in
spreading it in the fields about Fort
Collins, where We gave it thorough
try-out. might say that experiments
OF this kind were tried in several OF
the western states, and all with the
same result. so that no one, so far as
1 know, is now attempting to
spread grasshopper disease through
the agency of infected hoppers.
As far as we have been able to as

ARM0R SHOP PLAN Wins
COMMITTEE ASKS s11,ooo,oo0 FOR
GOVERNMENT PLAN.
Steel Barons Tell Lawmakers Of Plan
to Charge s625 Per Ton In the
Future.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-A bill for govern
ment armor plate factory was ap
proved by the Senate naval committee
within few minutes after manufac
turers had served notice that should
such a plant be established the price
charged the government for armoI
made by private concerns would be
increased nearly one.half.
An appropriation OF sil,000,000 is
carried by the bill for purchase or con
structior of government factory
with an annual output of not less than
10000 tons.
That is little more than would be
required for two first-class battle
ships, and would leave a large part
of the armor needed in the navy's In
creased building program to come
from private plants.
The threat OF the private manufac
turers was communicated to the com
mittee by Senator Penrose. who said
the Bethlehem and Midvale com
panies were among those that had
agreed to an increase of 5000 ton
If the government factory proposal
went through. The Navy Department
now pays about si25.
Senator Tillman. chairman of the
committee. and author OF the bill, told
Mr.. Penrose that the threat OF the
armor barons" could not prevent pas
sage OF the measure.
II guess we can find way to STOP
the robbers" he added. "ln time oi
trouble we could seize their plants and
operate them by right of eminent do
main"
The proposal for a government plan,
has the backing OF Secretary Daniels
and Senator Tillman will press his bill
for early passage The military com
mittec closed It's hearings.
