Miss Warrington Appendicitis

Miss Warrington Appoinfed-Miss
Jessie Warrington was appointed as
sistant probation officer for Twin
Falls county yesterday afternoon by
Probate Judge o. p. Duvall. The law
provides that counties having more
than 5000 inhabitants may have such
officer. Probation Officer V. II. Orms-
by has found the work increasingly
difficult owing to the growth of the
population and there has been grow
ing demand for a woman to assist, in
cases where young girls are involved.
Several woman's organizations have
urged the selection of Miss Warning
ton on account of the interest that she
has always taken in juveniles and the
high standing which she has in the
community This was entirely I'M
known to her and she was taken
by surprise when notified of
her appointment last evening.

BERRENDO IRRIGATED
FARM LAND IS SOLD

Roswell, N. NJ, April 2.-The un-
sold portions of the Berrendo Irri-
gated Farms company tract was dis
posed of today at receivers sale. H,
F. Fish, trustee for the bondhold-
ers, offered $4,000 and the bid was
accepted by the special master, sub
ject to the confirmation of the fed.
eral court. There is Approximately
5000 acres involved in the sale, only
a small portion of which is in cul-
tivation.
The portion of this tract which
was sold by the company three, four
and five years ago, is now one of
the most progressive and prosperous
country. The bulk OF the 1900 acres
not included in the receivers sale
is planted to orchard, and few
hundred acres will come into bear
ing this spring. Since the selection
of varieties is one of the best in
the valley. it is thought that this
section will make success in fruit
growing which will exceed anything
before accomplished in the Pecos
valley The predominating varie-
ties are Jonathan and Winesap.
The Berrendo is also the home OF
some of the finest dairy stock in the
southwest. A. D. Grille owns a re-
gistered herd of Holsteins which have
made many winnings at the State
Live Stock and Products exposition
and also at the state fair. Medium
Gray has one of the best Jersey
herds in the southwest and has al
ways carried away the champion
ship ribbons at the fairs here and
at Albuquerque.

SECRETARY OF AGRICUL.
TURE URGES FARMERS TO
ADOPT PRECAUTIONS TO
SECURE MAXIMUM RETURN
FROM ACREAGE PLANTED

The Secretary of Agriculture, d
r. Houston, today, March q, issued
the following statement:
Both for economic and patriotic
reasons the American farmer should
strive this year for the highest
standard of efficiency in the produc-
tion and conservation of food. But
production accomplished by wasteful
methods does not make for efficien-
cy, and careful thought, therefore,
should be given to the steps that
need to be taken.
"At this, the approach of the grow
ing season, it is pertinent to con-
slider steps which should be taken
during the starting or the growing
OF crops to prevent or eliminate
wastes. In the case of the great
staple cereals, which constitute a
large proportion of our food supply,
conspicuous production wastes result
from failure to give proper attention
to the selection and the safeguard
ing of seed for planting, the pre-
paration of the land, and the care
of the crop. For instance, only var

the region where planted should be
selected, so that in case of such a
crop as corn the grain will not fail
to mature properly in normal sea-
son. The planting of seed that will
not germinate often results in great
loss of time, labor, and money
which could have been avoided by
testing the seed for germinability
before planting.

PROGRESS OF THE
BELGIAN RELIEF WORK

The Rocky Mountain Club-Hoover
Fund, an organization affiliated with
the national Belgian relief move
ment, has opened offices in Albu-
querque this week, and plans are
afoot to conduct a whilwind state
wide campaign f& volunteer sub
scriptions to this worthy cause.
The new organization will be
known as the New Mexico Division
of the Rocky Mountain Club Hoover
Fund, and is headed by Col. Willard
S. Hopewell. who is a member of the
national board. Col. Hopewell ap-
pointed the following gentlemen as
an executive committee: Rev. F. B.
Howden, Episcopal Bishop for New
Mexico. John NJ. McTeer and John
F. Simms.
Active organization and campaign
plans have been under way for
several days. Such ideas as relief
day, charity balls, church offering
Sunday, relief seals on the order of
the Red Cross seals and other fund
raising methods will be employed.
America heard the cry of Bel
gums starving little ones some time
past. but New Mexico has never felt
called upon to assist in this mag
nificant movement. The officers of
the newly established division will
issue a call for-free-will subscrip-
,ions in the near future. No one
in the state will be overlooked.

BEST GUNNER IN NAVY
FIRED FOR INTOxICATION

Misunderstanding the navy de-
partment has been making a cam
vass of young officers sufficiently
skilled in gunnery to protect Ameri-
can armed liners, the most expert
young officer in the service, Lieut.,
Thomas M. Upton formerly resi-
dent of New Mexico, has been dis
missed from the service by Secre-
tary Daniels on a charge of intox-
ication.
The case has caused a stir in naval
circles because every officer on the
court which tried the young officer
pleaded for clemency, and Rear Ad-
miral Leigh c. Palmer, chief of the
bureau of navigation, added an earn
est appeal of his own to save him.
Rear Admiral Palmer pointed out
that the young officer, had twelve
years excellent service behind him,
that this was his first offence, and
that he not only was the best gun
merry officer in the service, but had
established a worlds record by not
missing a single shot with his tur-
ret at long range and under con-
ditions almost as difficult as shoot
ing at a periscope in rough sea.
"This officers record is Gear Of
all previous offenses," said Admiral
Palmer in his appeal to Mr.. Daniels,
"and he has been in the naval SER
vice more than twelve years. A
perusal of his record shows that he
is steadily increasing in efficiency,
that he is interested in his profess
sion and the naval service, that he
is held in high esteem by his pre-
vious commanding officers, and that
he has just made 100 per cent and
obtained an f (excellence) for the
practice, the score being the highest
ever made with that type of tur-
ret"
Admiral Palmer then proceeded to
show that his services are of real
value and that the navy cannot af-
ford to lose him. Lieutenant Tip
ton was held to be just the type
which the navy urgently needs for
the peculiar type of expert gunnery
required to protect vessels against
submarines. The recommendation of
Palmer and other naval Of
ficers was that his sentence be held
in allegiance for year and that If
at the end of that time his conduct
had been along the line of twelve
years of previous service. punish
ment other than dismissal be meted
out to him.
Secretary Daniels, after receiving
Palmer's recommendation,
replied that mo punishment other
than dismissal" could adequately re-
buke the young officer for his hav-
ing yielded to intoxicating liquors.
Lieut.. Upton therefore has been dis
missed.
