The Bean Men

The New Mexico bean growers are all
right. All that they need is a little organi-
zation. While there is some grumbling be-
cause no ten-cent price Is in sight this year
when some of them hoped for as high as
eleven cents, they are willing to cooperate
with the government, they will grow beans
next year and we believe they will try to
increase their acreage II given proper assist
ance. When it comes to a showdown the
bean grower isn't going to be meticulous
about a fair price-always provided that the
fellow he sells his beans to isn't going to
make the big rake-off, after the farmer has
had all the grief. Which is fair enough.
Meanwhile the bean raiser should be given
every protection in reducing the cost Of pro-
%duction; he should not be held up on agricul-
tural implements or otherwise, he should
get a run for his money and get his full
share Of the profits, 1t has been alleged that
the bean grower always wants a little more
than he is offered for his crop. If SO he
is not peculiar in this regard. Everybody
wants all he can get for what he produces.
But when you come to analyze it, the pros
pect that the sevenand-a-halfcent bean is
going TO be sold to the consumer for II
is what gets the bean mans goat.
Organization, assurance that somebody
else is not going to drag down the velvet that
he worked for, protection in production costs
these are the things the New Mexico bean
grower wants and is going to get. The gov
eminent is working toward this end and
meanwhile the New Mexico pinto bean is
getting the advertising of its young life. 1t
looks as if the industry in New Mexico ought
to a k advantage of the biggest opportunity
ever offered 1t.

Santa Fe Woman's
Buckwheat Cake Receipt
eUckwHEAT CAKES.

Editor New Mexican:
A number of my acquaintance have asked
me to give them my receipt for making
buckwheat cakes. q use the word receipt"
in preference to recipe" since the latter
refers more properly to medicinal prepare
lions and not to cooking.) May l intrude
upon the valuable space Of your paper for
the purpose of reaching those who may
desire this receipt?
INGREDIENTS: Two teacupfuls of buck
wheat and l t~eacupful of white flour. THE
white flour is necessary in mixing coarse
grains in order to make the batter or dough
hold together hetter.) liz teaspoonful salt.
Mix well and add l pint of lukewarm water,
stirring thoroughly before putting in the
yeast, then add IA cake of compressed
yeast, dissolved in 2 tablespoonfuls warm
water. If liquid, or homemade yeast is used
it should constitute part of the mixing fluid
and may be added to the lukewarm water
to complete the full pint and not form an
extra amount of liquid; liz ~teacupful of
liquid yeast is sufficient with the above
ingredients.
Beat this mixture thoroughly, cover well
and set way in a warm place to rise over
night. On very cold nights | put a hot
water bag under the pan.
In the morning add a tablespoonful OF
sugar and two of melted butter and beat
the batter we'll. While the griddIe is heat
ling and Just before beginning to bake the
cakes, add Ia teaspoonful of baking soda
dissolved in 2 tablespoonfuls of hot water.
The batter should then be thin enough to
pour easily onto the gfiddle. When the
griddle is hot, grease It well and pour, on
enough of the batter, thinly spread to make
one large cake. Do not try to bake more
than one at a time on an ordinary griddle
A smooth skillet may be used If no griddle
is handy. Take a pliable case-knife and
turn the edges OF the cake to see If it is
browning properly. and when it has cooked
enough on one side it may be turned over
without any difficulty by using the case
knife in just the right way, all of which
comes from practice andss not learned from
books.
Enough OF these cakes may be baked at
one time to serve the entire family, instead
Of having to cook the cakes as they are
eaten, but they should be kept hot in d
heating oven until the entire batter has been
used, and then served with melted butter
and warm syrup or with pork sausage mi
gravy. The Russians serve them with caviar
mixed with olive oil, or with hard boiled
eggs finely chopped, or with the melted but
ter.
If the above receipt Is properly followed
the cakes will be as light and as full OF hot
air as a politicians promises, but much more
palatable. Very truly yours

Marketing Rabbits

There are millions OF rabbits in the west
and southwest that could be marketed in
large cities, according to reports received
by the bureau Of markets, United States de-
partment Of agriculture. Efforts are being
made by the department of agriculture and
by individuals in this territory to interest
dealers throughout the country in the pos
sibilities of handling rabbits from Texas,
New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arizona, Nevada,
Kans as and other western states.
Reports from ten large cities indicate a
good market demand for cottontail and jack
rabbits, with wholesale prices ranging from
so to So a dozen for cottontails and from
81 to Sc a dozen for jack rabbits, depending
upon size and quality and distance of market
from supply. The increased demand for
rabbits this winter in some cities is due.

CAN'T E HIS GOAT.

Paso Times.-It would seem that those
individuals who fain would slip another
party's goats into a stock car, after a
tedious and tortuous trailing of the little
animals through a New Mexico county to
cheat the law, had better select some
county other than that of Dona Ana. The
sheriff of that bailiwick isn't in the habit
of making long prayers from the house,

OF defeating the well-laid plans of the out
laws and thugs n social depredators. In
recovering a herd of goats just before 10

clue principally by the light of the silvery
moon, Felipe Lucero has simply added

ord as a peace officer.

More About Victory Bread

In answer to various Inquiries which have
been received by the food administration in
reference to the new victory bread, it was
announced today that any baker will be per-
mitted to use the name and to advertise
his product as victory bread provided it
c,ntains no more than so per cent wheat
flour. No stipulation is made as to what
shall be the exact ingredients included in
the other 20 per cent, SO long as they are
selected from the extensive list Of other
oreals recommended by the food administra-
ton which includes, cornflour, cornmeal, bar
%leyflour, oatmeal, rolled oats, rye flour, rice
and rice flour, potato flour and other SINH
lar flours and meals.
Until March g.. rye flour may be used in
making victory bread. After that date 1t
will be placed upon the same basis as wheat,
because rye flour is now being shipped to
the allies.
Bread made of graham flour or whole
wheat Hour may be called victory bread, as
this flour effects more than a 20 per cent
saving over ordinary wheat flour.
Beginning Feb. 3, bakers must use at
least 5 per cent of other cereals in all
bread baked by them, and this amount must
be increased as rapidly as possible until by
Feb. "a, they are using at least 20 per cent
of other cereals to 80 per cent wheat flour.
No baker, however, will be entitled to adj
vertise his product as victory bread until
he has reached the 20 per cent ratio.
The list of cereals to be used in baking
victory bread has been made as varied as
possible in order that each baker nay be
able to obtain a sufficient supply of one
or more OF them in his own locality at rea-
sonable prices. rYt
1t is hoped that whenever possible, ce-
reals locally produced win be used in order
to reduce transportation Any baker who
finds it impossible to secure these cereals
through ordinary trade channels is asked
to appeal to the federal administration in
his own state, who through the various
departments of the food administration in
Washington will aid in obtaining a supply.

To tax his time and temper, too.
He has to know when loans are due,
What source to get his billions through,
What fund to pass each dollar to,
Which tax Is what, and who is who;
What bonds to sell and what renew,
Which trust to Goa and which to sue,

In all of human speech
More sweet than are all songs Of birds

And birds begin to sing.

The sur begins to shine.
Three words will dissipate the gloom,
And water turn to wine.

IN CIVIL CONTROL FLU ON DECLINE
German Military Power Subju-
gated Very Effectively.
Elimination Of Army Leaders
Followed This Action.

London, Oct. 12.-GerFnan military
power has already been placed under
civil control in a complete and per-
manent fashion SO far as politics is
concerned, according to an interview
with Matthias Erzberger, the Centrist
leader of the reichstag sent out by the
German government wireless service.
This interview is being published with
the evident purpose Of influencing
public opinion abroad.
Thus General Won Stein, the Prus-
sian war minister, had to be elimi-
mated because he had always worked
against a pc ice by understanding. the
interview says. General Scheuch, BIS
successor, is said to be man of lib
eral views and the first non-Prussian
ever to occupy the position. Two
commanding generals, Won Vieting
hoff and Won Hsehmiset, have been
removed because they were consid-
cred the embodiment of militarism.
All decisions of commanding generals
in the interior of Germany concern
ing administrative functions are made
dependent upon the approval Of the
presidents of provinces. with an APP
peal to General Scheuch and finally
to the chancellor, who is legally re-
sponsible. according to Erzberger. Herr
Won Berg, chief of Emperor William S
civilian cabinet, had to resign because
|
ton of the new cabinet in a manner
which aroused the indignation of the
majority parties of the reichstag.
Erzberger says that this makes it evil
dent that rnilitarism has been forever
removed from Germany.
Promote League Of Nations.
Asked whether he would promote a
league of nations, Erzberger replied
That is just what I mean to do,
States must altogether desist from the
application of force in the settlement
OF international disputes. This nat
urally will mean that they must re-
nounce part of their SO yereignty, but
they may obtain, thru the league, mu-
tual protection against arbitrary
force
Arguing that all states must unre-
servedly submit their disputes to arbi-
tration, Erzberger says that the league
of nations must establish an organiza-
ton of imperial courts and guarantee
the execution of verdicts by verdicts
by those tribunals. Members of these
courts, however, must always be ap-
pointed with the consent OF the peo-
Piles concerned, SO that all nations will
have confidence in the actions of the
court, he said.
Belgium has been wronged by Ger
many and PREPARATION is DUE" Erzberg-
err admits. but he adds: cit is a ques-
ton of law and must be settled in
legal manner by means OF a court of
arbitration set up by a league of ma
tons. Erzberger concludes by say
ing that he has always held these
views and would not have Joined the
government if he had not been con-
WINGED that the government shares
them
