COURT DECLINES
TO REMOVE SHERIFF
ROBERTS AT GALLUP

Gallup. N. NJ. Nov. 29--At the
conclusion of court proceedings yes
terday, A. T Hannett, attorney for
the Gallup deportees, attempted to
bring to the attention of the court
a proposition tending toward the re-
moval Of Sheriff r. /. Roberts.
There was considerable discussion
in which District Attorney Craig and
his assistant, ]. A. Miller, took part,
Judge Reynolds emphatically refused
to open this matter on the grounds
that it had already been disposed
of by the grand ujry and was there
fore q closed incident. He sated that
the grand jury, as the direct rep
resentative of the community was
in a, much better position to judge
of the merits of the case than he
was.
All Saturday last was spent by the
grand jury in investigating the de-
portation and all witnesses whom
the grand jury desired were brought
before that body, as well as those
who wished to appear,
After the grand jury had heard a
larg enumber Of witnesses they
stated that they cared to hear no
more and the matter was dropped

SUGGESTS POPULATIONS OF
FOOD PRICES IN STATE

The chief food "conversationalist"
for New Mexico might get right
down to recorded figures ii he
wants to Advertisements in the FL
Paso newspapers show that nine
pounds OF sweet potatoes sell there
for 3 cents. while right on up the
line. right up to the state capital
Of New Mezico three pounds sell
for y cents These are advertis-
ing figures, and it seems some one
-horld investigate the difference in
0rice II is reasonable to suppose
that the retailer in FL Paso is max
ing profit selling nine pounds. and
someone gets away with six pounds
OF potatoes before they get to San
IA Fe If the railroads take two
thirds of the product for freight
something should be done. It Is too
big a hold out for the consumer to
stand for even admitting that the
potatoes had to be Purchased in Ell

much TO be legitimate.-Socorro

MEANING THAT ALBUQUER-
QUE MUST DO HER BEST

The people of Albuquerque greatly
appreciate the fact that the New
NJ eXico Educational association is to
meet here next year, after an abb
sence of two years. 1t was in this
city, during four years, that the as
sociation meetings got their boost
from a few hundred teachers, at
most, to the great educational asso-
citation of the southwest.
We thought high water mark of
attendance was reached here in 1915
when there was an enrolment of
more than fourteen hundred bona
fide teachers, but, without having
the actual figures of this years at
tendance, from all reports it would
seem that larger number was at
Santa Fc this year.
Try For New Record
So it will behoove Albuquerque to
look out for next, year when the
teachers and visitors will probably
run considerably beyond the two
thousand mark We want to set a
new record of attendance and a new
record of talent, though it will be
exceedingly difficult to do so. We
cannot bring ADLER men than were
at the convention this year All we
can hope for is to get more of the
topnotchers than ever before
The meetings of the New Mexico
Educational association are more than
wcre meetings They have become
an institution with us Of the highest

VETERAN NEWSPAPER MAN
RETIRES FROM THE GAME

The Carlsbad Current has changed

Luther Perry has been connected

His brother. Snethen Perry. was for
some time connected with the Low

who came from Villa Ahumada by
automobile, all train service except
for troop trains having been sus-

an attack here has passed for the
present, as Villas main band has

MAN IN SPRINGER GETS
RECKLESS WITH GUN

Some drunken fool, armed with a
small cabiler revolver, let out a
whoop and a yell and discharged
the gun on the streets of Springer
Saturday night and almost crippled
one of the big plate glass windows
in the Bank of Springer. The bullet
struck the window casing about one
inch from the glass. 1t is not known
who fired the shot, but if he is
caught he will discover that Springer
is not a very healthy place for gun
toters. The officers of the city arc
going to be on the look out for such
characters in the future and the law
will make short work of the gun man

Manure will greatly improve land.
II weil-rottcd manure Is not avail
able. 1t may be advisable to use a
! complete chemical fertilizer. Apply
at the rate OF 500 to 1000 pounds per
acre mixture containing Q to 4 per
cent nitrogen, per cent phosphoric
acid. to 2 per cent potash. The
amateur gardener will find it easier
to use ready-mixed fertilizer, which
can be obtained from any reliable
dealer.
Sunlight Necessary For a Garden.
No amount OF fertilizer, watering.
and cultivation will make up for the
absence OF sunlight In a garden. Home
gardeners before attempting for the
first time to use back yard or other
space should consider carefully how
many hours day any part Of the
yard is in shadow from buildings,
fences. or trees, At least Ave hours
OF sunlight a day Is necessary for a
successful garden. The more sun
light they get the better 1t lis for most
vegetables. For this reason 1t Is bad
/ practice TO put plants OF, low habit be-
tween tall-growing plants which will
shade them for the greater part of
the day. AS rule, foliage crops
such as lettuce, spinach and kale do
fairly well In partial shade, but even
these must have sunshine two or three
hours day. In laying out the gar
den, therefore, use shadier parts for
such plants and serve the sunny
spaces for those which must have
plenty OF sunlight to grow and fruit
properly.
