A bank has to charge you, direct

You have the stuff; he merely gets

The grocery man must charge for
service or go broke. If you want
long credit, you should pay him
proper interest.
The fuodstuffs business should be
put on a basis where there is no
mystery about what you pay for;
If you pay for service, there is no
misunderstanding about what you pay
and what you pay for.
1t costs as much to deliver a can

The live merchant must make one
price to all as a basis. The cash
mar shouldn't pay the interest for
the man who gets credit. The two
must be differentiated.
The New Mexico long credit sys-

The foregoing are some of the
most important thoughts for New

ers growing out of the state confer.
ence of wholesale and retail grocers
here with State Food Administrator
Ralph G. Ely and his staff. Some
SIS grocers were present, including
representatives of nearly every
wholesale grocery house in the
state. The net results of the meet
ing were: A much clearer under
standing of the food regulations by
the grocers; a unanimous pledge of
patriotic cooperation; a willingness
to sacrifice profits at the country's
call and the beginning Of greater
uniformity in the cash and credit
systems Of the trade.

INCOME TAX DRIVE
TO BEGIN BY END
OF PRESENT MONTH
THOSE WITH INCOMES OVER
$1,000 MUST DIG UP TO HELP DE-
FRAY COST OF WAR; HOW PER.
cENTAeEs RUN

The campaign to collect the in
come taxes from people in New Mex
leo and Arizona, will begin the end
of the month.
Information was received today
from the internal revenue services
office at Phoenix that the officials
10Y are busy collecting the floor tax
on distilled spirits and tobacco. When
these taxes are in, the work OF get
ting after the incomes of New MeKl-
cans and Arizonans will be pushed
vigorously, and it is planned to send
out letters to the various newspapers
explaining the provisions OF the new
law. AS it is now generally under
stood citizens and residents OF the
United States who are single will
pay Q per cent on their incomes
above $1,000 a year for the year 1917,
and those who are married will pay
2 per cent on incomes above $4,000 q
year. One per cent is charged on
incomes from $4,000 to $500; 2 per
cent from $500 to $4,000, and 8 per
cent from $4,000 to $12,500. Those
who are so fortunate as to have in
comes of a cool million a year will
hand e s500,000 to Uncle Sam. 4.
What is income? 1t is not, as
many suppose, only the money one
receives from interest or coupons. 1T
is defined by the government as
gains. profits and income derived
from salaries and wages or compen-
sation for personal service of what
ever kind and in whatever form paid;
or from professions, vocations, bust
nesses, trade, commerce or sales, or
dealings in property, whether real or
personal growing out Of the owner
ship or interest in real or personal
property, also from interest, rent,
dividends, securities or the transac.
ton Of any business carried on for
gain or profit, or gains or profits and
income derived from any source
whatever"

Carlsbad. N. M, Dec. 1.-THE
livestock industry will always be i'm
portant in New Mexico" said G. M.
Richards, president OF the Groves
Lumber company, today while dis
GUESSING what is being done to in
crease food production in the state,
more particularly on the Pecos slope.
However, a wonderful transforms
ton has occurred in the industry
since | came to the state. The open
range on the public domain is shrink
ing and the wild cattle of former
days have disappeared, real beef cat
tie taking their place. The little
stockman is succeeding the big out
fits. The farmer has come to have
more live stock and a beginning is
made to fatten grass grown cattle
and sheep on farm feeds.
"Of course, prices have gone fairly
to the skies. Just to Illustrate: The
top price paid for cattle on the Chi
cago market in October, 1898, was
$3.50, for hogs 1896, and lambs $3.50
a hundred pounds. The first week in
October this year the top price for
cattle was $17.65, for hogs 1885, and
lambs $3.50. Though the price is
off at present, there will be no real
slump in meat prices.
Recently ! examined new live
stock statistics, compiled by H. B.
Hening, of the state land department,
which emphasize the change in the
livestock industry. His report for the
year 1917 shows 81, 1000 head of mich
cattle in the state, 100000 hogs, o.
100000 lambs worth on an average
of SO a head, and 100000 steers
worth on an average of $45 a head.

SANTA r. OFFICIAL
MUCH IMPRESSED BY
AMARILLO COW SHOW
NUMBER AND QUALITY OF
STOCK EXHIBITED AT PAN
HANDLE STATE FAIR AMAZING
TO AVERY TURNER
ny A. NJ. Hove.)

Amarillo, Tex, Dec. 10.--"The num-
Der and quality of the exhibits of cat
tie at the Panhandle State Fair, held
recently in Amarillo, was marvellous
to me-" said Avery Turner, vice pres.
ident of the Panhandle and Santa Fe
railway, today in discussing live stock
conditions in Texas and New Mexico.
II have closely observed the growth
of this Industry since the buffalo was
chased off the plains. Then the plains
become the open trail for herds from
southern pastures to markets or
northern feeding grounds. Then came
the barbed wire fence and the big
plains pastures. Cattle became too
valuable to- delay their, on the trail
and railroads were built to move
them more quickly to northern mar
kets and pastures.
Gradually the quality was improv-
ed by better blood until the old long
horned Spanish wolf fighting cow
was merged into a beef producer. The
far southwest is the best breeding
place. The yearling should go to the
plains for best development, obtained
by nutritious grasses, good water and
temperate climate. The next GUS
tomary move has been to the feeding
grounds of Dakota, Usage and Kan
sas pastures, from whence the best
of them went into the feed lot to be
finished on grain.
THE increasing value OF plains
land, however, now requires a more
intensive method. The arid grains
and feeds Of all kinds can now be
grown ~profitably and the small stock
farmer can feed and finish his steers
at home. Although feed is high, fin
ished beef is proportionately higher
and by combining cattle, hogs and
poultry there is a big inducement.
ITO me the most remarkable fea-
ture of the exhibit was the number Of
entries from the nearby ranches
around Amarillo. I met many old
friends with exhibits fine enough for
any show any where. Some were
simply rounded UP from the pasture,
though fat and fine! others were cur
ried and all dressed up as gay Is at
any international show. All entries
made it clear to every one what can
be done, showing the possibilities for
production Of this country.
However. the exhibit Of hogs,
sheep and poultry was a poor second
to the cattle and indicated the desir-
ability of diversification because hogs
and poultry supplement cattle. High
prices have depleted stocks, but that
is the very reason for increasing pro-
duction at this time"

cording to today's war office an

the Franco Belgian front, except as
regards employment of this arm OF
the service in accommodating thrusts,
has been broken only by a local at
tack by the Germans on the Cambrai

the British repulsed. The operations
have otherwise been confined to ar.
tillery bombardments, which appar-
emily have lessened somewhat in in

LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY WILL ALWAYS
BE IMPORTANT IN NEW MEXICO;
UNDERGOES VAST CHANGES

The increase In dairy cattle and hogs
Is especially remarkable.
Another conspicuous feature under
the new order of things, is the bet
ter care given livestock. In the early
days no feed or protection was pro-
vided for livestock during storms or
other adverse conditions. Naturally
the wild cattle OF that day could shift
for themselves much better than the
high grade livestock of today, though
the losses taken were often very
heavy. The stockman now takes pre-
cautions to prevent loss in valuable
herds and flocks.
'"The matter OF shelter, however,
needs more attention, especially for
dairy cattle and hogs. The dairy COW
has thinner skin and shorter hair
than the beef breeds and to do her
best, needs protection in bad weather
and in cold nights. The hog also
needs shelter in cold weather and
during the hot summer months. The
dairy COW and the hog r too valu-
able to be sheltered merely by a wire
fence.
"On the whole New Mexico is max
ing good progress. Good drainage
systems are making irrigation farm
ing safe in the Pecos and Rio Grande
valleys. Both valleys promise to be
heavier producers Of crops In 1913.
The dry eason has been trying to the
stockmen and has compelled a seri-
Gus reduction of herds and flocks In
some localities. Still New Mexico
has enough good stock on the range,
in pastures and on the farms to hold
a front place among the meat pro-
ducing states. Better care of all live
stock will increase the profits of the
producer"

Send Your
Packages Early
For Christmas

"Send the Christmas pack
ages early" so request the post
office department. The express
companies advise accordingly.
The Christmas traffic this year
will be extraordinarily heavy.
More than a million men are
away from home, the largest
number in the history of the
country. They will all be remem-
bered by the folks at home. Add
this special traffic to the usual
Christmas traffic and the vol
ume will be enormous.
Therefore. to insure delivery
in time for Christmas, the pack
ages must go out as early as pos
sible. The postoffice. express
companies, and the railroads, can
handle no more than equipment
and labor will permit. Labor is
SO difficult to obtain that the
regular force cannot be material
ly increased to meet the situa-
ton.
The railroads are assembling all
the equipment possible to handle
the Christmas business, but the
government has the first call, II
is we'll to bear in mind that the
railroads have been unable TO
buy anything in the way OF
equipment. The Santa Fe, as an
instance, contracted among other
things for a lot Of baggage cars
for early delivery months ago,
and Is still waiting.
Therefore, the public can as
sist in handling the Christmas
traffic by sending their packages
early. If this traffic can be
spread out over two weeks, it can
be moved without serious con-
gestion.
The million men away from
home will enjoy the Christmas
more keenly with the package
from home at hand.

POTASH IN NEW MEXICO

The United States Department
Of Interior is exploring by drill
the extent and quality Of a de-
post of potash in Eddy county,
New Mexico. Some years ago, a
corporation, prospecting for oil
and gas, pushed a drill through
800 feet Of salt, miles south
east of Carlsbad, in Eddy county,
and close by another drill pene-
trated the same body. Recently,
E. M. Skeets, a chemist Of note,
analyzed salt from these holes,
and found four per cent potash,
which is about the same quantity
found in the salt mines of Strass-
furt, Germany, which. until the
present war, were the worlds
great source Of potash. After
ward, Mr.. Skeets' analysis was
confirmed by Professor Whitney
of the Bureau of Soils, and by
the Chief of the Geological Sur
vey. The salt is encountered at
a depth of 300 feet.-The Earth.
