That there are fully 5000 war car
dens in the state of New Mexico
this year is the estimate of Mrs
Isaac Bartb. head of the home gar
den division of the food administra-

and nearly 400 members of pig and
corn clubs. Fort Sumner has thirty
four gardens; Quay county in gen.

THE SENATORSHIP

Disinterested persons watching
the senatorial situation in the United
States must conclude that now, as
never before in the history of this
nation we need strong men in that
body. and of all the real strong men
of the present membership the sem
ior senator from New Mexico is
proving himself to be one OF the
greatest value not only to the state,
but to the nation.
Senator A. B. Fall has, from the
first, been among the first to pro-
pose and support measures of the
first Importance in making success
full war. In every way he measures
up with the leaders of the nation.
and this state is receiving benefit
from his work. He is extremely az
tive in working for the interest Of
the state, and as the nation needs
his services, and the state can pro-
fit from a longer service by him as
a senator, it is well that he should
consent 70 Withdraw his announce
ment that he would no longer serve
his state in Washington. This is a
time when no man of value to his
country should quit and Senator Fall
is of great value in many ways.-

THREE OPINIONS
ARE GIVEN OUT
BY H. |. PATTON
STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL
RULES ON SACRAMENTAL
WINES, POSTING OF FISH
STREAMS AND VALIDITY
OF ROAD TAX

Among opinions by the attorney
general this week, is an expression
as to the use of wine for sacramental
purposes after state prohibition goes
into effect Mr.. Patton upholds the
general understanding the wine for
sacramental purposes will not be in
terfered with. The opinion was cal
led for because it appears that a sim
liar clause in the Arizona and Ok
lahoma laws had led to litigation. l..
Gros OF Bernalillo, who has become
established as maker of sacrament
tai wines, asked for decision on
this point. Stressing the words of
the dry law wines intended and used
for sacramental purposes only" Mr..
Patton holds that the sale of such
wines is not prohibited.
Another opinion given out this week
is to the effect that owners and rent
ers of land where there is fishing or
hunting may post their grounds, and
exclude tresspassers, even though
the latter may hold state hunting or
fishing licenses.
In response to an inquiry of C..
Russell of Artesia. Mr.. Patton rules
that the collections of current and
delinquent taxes is mandatory on all
towns, cities and villages, citing
Chapter 63 of the session laws of
1915 sections and 4, and section
1906 of the 1915 codification. Occu-
patton taxes are included.
Replying to an inquiry by City
Treasurer Leo Hersch as to the le-
gality of the New Mexico road tax,
Mr.. Patton declares that all men
between 81 and 60 must pay it, or
work on the roads. He cites consid-
cradle of the statutes to prove it.
