Plea For The Pinto

United States Food Administrator Herbert
Hoover goes out, of his way in his page in
the last number of the Literary Digest to
sing the praises of the pinto bean, saying
among other things: People should get
rid Of the nation that colored beans are in
ferior to the white. Analysis has proved
them just as nourishing. Some nersons
have been prejudiced against the pinto bean
because of its dark-brown spots. But it is
exactly as good as the white bean, and II
has been selling at power prices. Besides
even the spots disappear in cooking. The
United States Food Administration, empow-
cred by the provisions of the Food Bill of
August 10, 1917, is purchasing through its
Grain Corporation last years entire crop of
pinto beans, with a view Of distributing them
to all markets and keeping their price stable.
Nowadays only the person who truly doesn't
know beans can fail to perceive this yege-
tables valhe to- people at home, to our
soldiers, and to the cause for which they
battle" Mr.. Hoover might add that in the
State Museum there is to be found proof
that the pinto bean for possibly a thousand
years has been one of the main staples of
the cliff and cave dwellers and the Pueblos
and kept the people well fed and sturdy
even in those days of great privations.

Books for the Soldiers

Books for the soldiers is the cry now.
Everyone has books; books that accumulate
around the house and get in the way and
gather dust. Two million books are wanted
for the Liberty War Service of the Ameri-
can Library Associi ton. Soldiers and sail
ors in camp, on transport, on naval vessels
and across the sea want books; books will
keep up their morale, and their spirits, oc-
cupy, their minds, give them the wholesome
diversion that means so much in the mono
tony of military life. Your one book, or
two or a dozen or a score win be9easy to
give; you can't compute what it may mean
to the recipients. ~, o. N E fsseef.
Just stop a minute and take this appeal
to yourself; send or take your books down
10 the public library, or telephone Mrs. r.
j. Palen or Mrs. Frank w, Parker and they
will be called for.
Everyone or these requests for our person
al service to help the armies of America is
important or it would not be made. You
are living the even tenor Of your way; alb
staining from a few articles of food to eat
something just as good, giving a few dol
lars to the Red Cross or other war funds;
the boys are going to live in holes in the
ground. Don't lose a nance to make
their sacrifice for you more endurable.

Cattlemen Strong for
Game Refuge Bill

That New Mexico should either induce
Congress to pass the National Game Refuge
Bill or else stop hunting of all big game
are the alternatives laid down in a resolution
passed by the annual Convention of the
New Mexico Cattle Growers Association at
Las Vegas ON March 14th.
The resolution calls attention t. the fact
that the New Mexico stockmen urged Con-
gress to establish Game Refuge three years
ago, and that in the meanwhile the antelope
and mountain sheep of New Mexico have
been steadily approaching tn epoint Of ex-
termination, while deer and turkey have
become alarmingly scarce in many localities.
1t recommends that If a system Of Game
Refugee be not authorized by Congress be-
fore next winter, that the State Legislature
enact a three year close season on all big
game in New Mexico as an emergency re-
lief measure.
The resolution also contains a recon-
~mendation that no additional elk be intro
duced into New Mexico except on fenced
private lands by the owners thereof. Many
stockmen. in other parts Of the country, it is
claimed, are favorable to the Game Refuge
idea, but fear that if elk are placed on the
refuge areas, that damage to crops might
ensue, and that h fences might be built
to hold the elk which may interfere with
the livestock industry. Officers of the New
Mexico Game Protective Association state
that herds Of elk at large on the range have
most cases done more or less damage, and
that they heartily approve of the stockmen's
proposal to discourage further importation
of these animals. 1t would be unwise, they
think, to sacrifice the present unanimous
public demand for the conservation Of such
harmless animals as deer, mountain sheep,
antelope and turkey for the sake Of ~restocs-
ing the ranges with elk. The elk as q
it is claimed, should b eperpetuated
in the Yellowstone National Park and in
wild country not used for the grazing Of
livestock.

Gas Used in War
in Ancient Times

The use of gas in warfare dates back to
about 400 B.. &C. The Spartans saturated
wood with pitch and sulphur and burned it
under the walls of cities which they were
attacking. For several centuries gas has
not been used in warfare, and The Hague
convention definitely ruled against it. How
ever, on April 20, 1915, the Germans liberat-
ed great clouds of gas against Canadian
troops near Ypres. Terrible destruction and
decentralization resulted from this first gas
attack, and within a week England was max.
ing plans for gas warfare against the Ger
mans.
Soon after the first German gas attack
English and French women sent to the front
hundreds OF thousands Of homemade gas
masks. For the most part they we're merely
bandages impregnated with chemicals to
wrap around the mouth and nose. These
emergency masks saved many lives, but af-
fOrded only limited protection.

New Acquisitions by.
Historical Society

The parlor meeting Of the Historical
Society. last Saturday evening was avery
enjoyable occasion. All interested in. New
Mexican history were understood to be
welcome, and the result was a large and
most intelligent assenblage, which embrac-
ed not only nearly all the wen known en-
thusiasts on this subject, but new residents
like Mr.. and Mrs. Rolshoven, Major and Mrs.
Stewart, Rev. Walter Trowbridge, etc.
The special feature of the evening was
the address by Colonel Twitchell on "Oid
Santa Fe," in which he condensed into h
half hours talk information enough to Gil a
book, much of which was entirely new. He
showed the situation of public buildings and
churches as existing even before the Pueblo
revolution of 1860, and the places Of resi-
dence Of the prominent historical characters
after the Reconquest. This was received
with much interest and led to an animated
discussion, in which Don Filadelfo Baca,
Hon. F. w. Clancy, Rev. L. w. Bloom and
others took part.
President Primo then exhibited some OF
the new acquisitions of the society. includ-
ing the Geography and Atlas of 1888 with its
eighty Artelins maps; the remarkable bones
and teeth of a mammoth anti-deluvian ami.
NAL found near San ~Ildefonso, the presented
copy of Mrs. Ayers translation Of Bena-
videg, etc. A remarkably fine collection Of
the autographs of French Kings, extending
from Charles TX in 1867 to Louis PHILIPPE
in 1S4S, including Henry III and Henry ~
with the long line of Louis was also exhib-
tied.
For the next meeting various topics were
suggested, including the Garita, ancient
Campo Santo and Private Chapels in Santa
Fe; and Col. Twitchell fixed the leading
feature by agreeing to make an address on
"Witchcraft in New Mexico,9 a remarkably
interesting subject, as readers of Mr.. Ste
venson and even the early Court Reports
well know. The next meeting will be held
a week from tonight. March 23rd,

The bullets developed by the United

If there is any difference in their perform
ance when fired from a quickly moving air

|. abo rssLoyalty

"The labor movement in America must
be altogether American" declares Samuel
Gdmpers, vigorously defending the loyalty
of American ~workingmen. Mr.. Gompers, as
president Of the American Federation OF
Labor, has taken a high stand on behalf Of
labor for loyalty and patriotism. All that
is asked now is that all American laboring
men heed the voice of their leader and see
to it thatfhis attitude is really theirs. We
believe the great body of ~workingmen are
loyal; their reputation for loyalty has how.
ever been damaged by strikes and disturb
ances in the national crisis which have
blocked the progress Of the war. Disguised
German influence has doubtless been largely
responsible; but labor is coming clean
and we believe will fully, justify all Comp
ers' claims.iG .f.s IL

Roads Help Win War

Lack OF transportation facilities is the
limiting factor in the participation Of the
United States in the War. An Overland

Just as the Government has taken over
the control of the railroads. and the con.
struction of the Merchant Marine as a war
necessity, so it must take over construction
of such highways as are necessary to make
the nations resources available in the con-
duct Of the war.
The war will be won with the conserya.
ton of resources and increased production.
Even the merest tyro knows that I'm the
business life of the nation, the first seti of
acts is represented by transportation" it Is
one of the four principal forms Of produc-
tion. EH
Concl1siyely the railroads cannot handle
the nations business, for before the war
their capacity had been reached. The ex-
ports of the nation in 1917, were six and
one fourth billion dollars; in 1915. but three
and ,one-half billion dollars. In 1917, the
value of farm products, not including live
stock, was thirteen and one-half billion dol
lars; in 1915 was but six n a fourth bill
hon dollars. ssf o. no uita Isl
This increase IN commerce and the. move
snent by the railroads Of two million men
and their equipment is an accomplishment
beyond belief. 1t is also a. tax which must
be continued and increased with the con-
tinuation of the war. Track and rolling
stock cannot stand under the strain
s' The rail transportation facilities must be
supplemented by power vehicles on high
ways. The highways in their present condi-
tion are not dependable. The existing road
building authorities are passe so far as adj
ditlonal road construction is concerned, as
contractors refuse to bid on highway work,
because of lack Of labor and transportation
facilities. uff'itf

should be undertaken as a war emergency
measure. IT would mot erDel sufficient, or

Act and the medium of the State Highway
Departments as they are experiencing great
