head Of the experiment station at the

1t is very palatable, easily cooked, not
perishable, can be stored away, ordi.

Garcia Is at a loss to understand why
the pinto is not more popular. He
has started a campaign to create a
bigger demand for the bean and sets
forth his views in a very interesting
article in the New Mexico Courier"
a monthly paper published by the ex-
tension service at State College.
During the past few years, there has
been a marked increase in the pro-
duction of New Mexico pinto beans.

NAVAL HEAD TO
 GRANT LICENSES TO LOCAL SHIPS
All Vessels Must Procure Licenses From Command
 ant Leonard Dwyer.

Under an order issued by the Navy | Department at Washington, all vessels engaged, in the navigation of waters of naval districts or in the navigation of defensive sea areas, must be Hcens- ed by the commandant of the naval
 district in which they belong.
 Bridgeport is section base of the
 Third Naval District, in command of Lieutenant Leonard H. Dyer. Many
 applications for licenses in conformity
 with the Navy Departments instruc-
 tions have been received at the local
 base. Because applicants fail to
 properly fill out the form furnished
 them upon application, the work of
 issuing licenses is greatly hinder
 ed.
 Among the most frequent errors are, failure of the applicant to state the
 name of the boat; the motor mum
 Der; whether the owner is native born
 or naturalized; whether the person certifying to the character of the own CT is native born or nataralized, and in each instance, if naturalized, the or igina1 citizenship of the applicant and the certifying person.
 In addition to the foregoing, delay is caused by applicants permitting the notary public, who certif1es to the ap- p1icant's statements, to subscribe under his own oath as certifying to the applicant. This is not permissi ble.
 In addition to the certification by a notary public as to the statements of the applicant, an additional certifca- ton from a citizen of the United | States as to the character and fitness of the applicant is required. If applicants will carefully study l the questions printed on the forms, | which they can obtain upon request at the headquarters of the base, Growers avenue, Black Rock, the | work of procuring licenses, which 1t ] is essential they should have, will be greatly facilitated.
 Failure to obtain tnd carry licenses from the eommandant will render a vessel liable to detention and to 1 being sent to the nearest port for examination. If inconvenient to call | in person, vessel owners may obtain the printed blank form of application 1 by writing to the Commander of | Section No. 2, U. s. N. R. F. Black Rock, Bridgeport, Conn.,
