COMMISSION ASKS
SHIPPERS TO LOAD ALL
CARS TO CAPACITY

The state corporation commission
has issued the following:
TO All Shippers of Freight in New
L Mexico:
This commission is in receipt Of q
Iletter from C. M. Sheaffer, chairman
lof the American Railway association,
concerning the loading Of Its to
their fullest capacity, which letter is
as follows:
THE commission on a service, q
subcommittee of the executive CON-
mittee. national council of defense,
desires to call your attention to the
necessity for cooperation between all
interests, In order to obtain full eff
cheney of the transportation unit, or
freight car, and asks your unqualified
support in connection with demand
upon the shipping public to disregard
established trade units" and mini.
mum carload weights, various COM
modities as provided in tariffs, rules
and regulations, and instead, load all
equipment furnished to the full
cubical or carrying capacity and by
this method avoid loss of 20 to 25 per
cent efficiency which now prevails;
thus assisting in relieving congestion,
at the same time resulting in more
cars being available for handling tart
fic offered, both for the government
as we'll as the general shipping public.
Many terminals, yards and indus
trial tracks are nov taxed beyond
their limit and cannot be enlarged or
extended to material degree, but
these tracks will be relieved if equip
ment furnished is loaded to the full
capacity, and at the same time pro-
vide more equipment for traffic in
other territory, and materially in.
crease the total tonnage handled with
more regular and better service"
In view of the fact that a car short
age prevails throughout the entire
United States, which apparently can
be relieved appreciably If all cars are
loaded to their full space capacity,
this commission urgently requests
that all New Mexico shippers load
cars to capacity when practicable in
order to assist in relieving the conges-
ton and provide additional equipment
for the use of themselves and other
shippers.

COMPANY c. GETS
KISSED BY. GIRLS;
GOES 70 TIE Dam

Albuquerque, N. NJ, June .5-Com-
pany G, New Mexico regiment, has
left here for Elephant Butte to do
guard duty. The company is under
the command of Capt. Fl. M. Peck.
The company got a rousing send-off
from the rest of the guardsmen when
they left the armory to start on their
way to the field, says the Herald. The
SOC men of the guard massed in the
gallery and Of the company fell into
step at the command of march, the
soldiers in the gallery let go with
cheers that almost cracked the roof.
Before the company got out of town
tie members were given even a heart
Ter farewell. Hundreds were in tine
dto see them go.
Observing the rules for such occa-
sions made and provided, pretty girls
kissed the guardsmen without fear or
favor. Curiously enpugh, the proceed-
ing fustered some Of the older men,
but it didn't feaze the youngsters a
bit.

FlCERS

The wal department has notified
Governor Lindsey that the commits
sions issued by the state to National

guard officers who took the federal
oath during service at Columbus win
be supplied by Washington.
The communication is not clear as
to whether officers, commissioned by
Governor Lindsey who car pass the
federal examination will be given fed

probable that such a ruling will be
made. Some of the men commission
ed by the governor are graduates of

Several of the new guard officers
received commissions because of their

YIELD OF BEANS
IN TORRANCE TO
Be THREEF0LD MORE
WILL BE TEN TIMES AS LARGE
AS IN 1915. ACCORDING TO JOHN
CONWAY; HOLDS MEETING AT
LESTANClA

The yield OF beans in Torrance
county this year will be nearly three
times as great as last year and almost
ten times as large as in 1915, accord
ing to figures received this morning
from Assistant State School Superin-
tendent j. ". Conway. who Is speak
ing for agricultural preparedness
through Torrance county, accom-
panied by Captain ]. H. Toulouse. Mr..
Conway writes:
"As q result of the meeting held
Saturday night at Estancia, / gather
ed some valuable data on the bean
production in Torrance county. Dur
ing 1915, the bean crop was 10000
acres, or a total of 100000 pounds.
The average price was 4 cents, hence
the total was $4,000. In 1916, with
an acreage Of $1,000, and $50 pounds
to the acre, average price of 6 12
cents, the total was $633. $50. Infor-
nation brought out that in 1917, there
will be an acreage yield Of $4,000.
The prospect as good as last year. Six
hundred and fifty pounds yield to the
acre and at 10 cents a pound would
mean $685. 900. The highest yield
last year was 1900 pounds per acre,
the lowest 300 per acre.. The cost OF
production on a 400 basis equals $S.15
per acre on railroad cars. AS the
yield increases there is only a slight
increase in cost for extra labor or
threshing. Forty-one farmers in the
county, who kept a correct account Of
the acreage planted, total yield ia
pounds and the yield per acre in
pounds, reported individually and
brought out the following facts in the
The acreage planted, 3066.6;
total yield in pounds, 1,793,2 20; yield
per acre in pounds ranged from 500
to 1900; the average yield per acre in

the total yield by l farmers was 49,,

TOM HUGHES MEETS
CRAZY Man IN FORD
0 n A P R |P|CE
ABOVE THE CHAMA
PRISON WARDEN IN TIcKLIsH
SITUATION; coNvlcTS IN RIO
ARRIBA Pillow, HARROW AND
PLANT 20 ACRES A DAY

"A crazy man In a Ford on a high
mountain ledge overlooking a river
and with the roadway wide enough
for only one vehicle, is some little
situation to encounter when you're
out motoring, according to Thomas
Hughes, superintendent Of the state
penitentiary. who had just such an ex-
lperience on his trip to Rio Arriba
county last week. However, the
crazy man was in charge Of two dep
uty sheriffs and was not driving the
Ford, which made it a little better.
Superintendent Hughes and former
Congressman B. G. Hernandez, and
Hughes chauffeur, enroute to the Rio
Arriba county lands that the state
penitentiary management is farming
with convicts, were ambling over the
mountain north Of Abiquiu in the new
penitentiary Buick when on turning a
curve, on a narrow road cur out of the
side Of the precipice and overlooking
the Chama river, they nearly collided
head-on with a party OF three men in
a Ford. One Of the three was at the
wheel Of the %flivver, and another was
engaged in securely holding the third
occupant, a wild.eyed and laxative in.
dividual, who later proved to be an in.
sane patient on the way to the state
insane asylum at Las Vegas. The men
in charge of him were Rio Arriba
county deputy sheriffs.
After a survey Of the situation SUI
perinntendent Hughes decided that
there were but two ways of continu-
ing the Journey. One was to get the
Ford out of the way and proceed
along the road; the other was to 60
over the side Of the precipice. He
chose the former, and by man-power
the Henry was carefully backed along
the road to a place wide enough to al
low the ~penitentiary car to pass it.
The backing operation was very
amusing-to the insane patient, who
laughed uproarously. He was the only
one who got any fun out of the entire
occurrence.
Superintendent Hughes reports that
the 25 state prisoners who are now
cultivating the Rio Arriba county
tract, which consists of 600 acres, and
the free use Of which was donated to
the state by the Thomas D. Burns es-
tate, walked all the way from the rail-
road station at Espanola to the land,
a distance Of 81 miles, and enjoyed it.
Three days were consumed in the trip
from this city. Two gasoline tractors,
by the penitentiary, are at
work on the tract, and the entire
acreage will be planted to corn and
beans. The land is watered by means
Of a tunnel that was driven through a
mountain under the direction OF the
late Senator Thomas D. Burns.
In the Moriarity district of Tor
rance county, where another party Of
rs state prisoners are farming, $40
acres Of donated land, 20 acres are
being plowed, disced, narrowed and
planted daily. Two tractors also are
being used in the work there.

Jap Alleged Owner
Of Wild Dogs of
Rio Grande Valley

Albuquerque, N. NJ, June 5.--The
sheriff's Office believes It has run
down the dogs that have been killing
stock in the neighborhood Of Barelas.
Two hybrid hounds found on the place
of a Japanese farmer were identified
yesterday afternoon by Barelas resi-
dents as the killers, and today the Jap
was arraigned before Justice Of the
Peace Policarpio Sanchez on a charge
of harboring vicious animals. He was
ordered to appear for q hearing next
Wednesday.
The Japanese says bis dogs couldn't
have done the killing because he has
always kept them tied. The men who
the animals say they have
seen the killers and they are certain
the Jap's dogs are the ones.

the United States will follow the
method adopted by japan than that
adopted in any of the European
countries. Although no remittances
will be allowed to be. made to Ger
many, traders of the enemy nation
atty are likely to be given free use
of their own funds within the coun-
try itself. This will depend very
much on the nature of the casus
belli, as well as the behavior Of the
Germans in the United States. II
things should happen that are likely
to, inflame public opinion, the gov
eminent might be forced to go even
further than this. German busi-
nesses may be closed up and &C
counts held for enemy account" &C
in Great Britain. But the furthest
stretch of imagination is not likely
to lead US to expect the kind Of con-
fiscation that has been adopted In
the Allied countries. There are Sc
rious complications in connection
with the control of German bust
nesses in the United States. In Eng
land and France they have always
stood apart. In Italy and the United
States the Germans have been, as a
rule, partners in American business
houses. German traders have al
ways preferred to cooperate with
the people of the country in the
American continent. 1t would prove
extremely hard to separate the Ger
man interests in such concerns or to
control them. The German-Amer-
lean problem would be intimately
connected with the regulation OF
German property. There is constant
danger Of the steps being diverted
for the benefit Of individuals and
grave injustice being done to loyal
