WILL ASSIST SECRETARY BAKER

When it became necessary to con-
fer with Secretary Of War Baker, Maj.
Benedict Crowell was obliged to put on
his overcoat and cap and step across
the street in Washington to the state,
war and navy building. But now he
has taken his typewriter from the
Mills building to the office Of assistant
secretary of war.
President Wilson has appointed
Major Crowell to help the secretary of
war as assistant secretary with some
Of the difficulties and intricate prob
lens connected with carrying on and
winning the war. Major Crowell is an
engineer by profession and first showed
his merit by his expert advice to the
general munitions board, especially
concerning steel production Immediate
ly after the formation Of the national
council Of defense in Washington. 1t
was in the engineer corps that he was
given his commission, and later he was
placed in charge of the Washington

won fame AS STATESMAN

One Of the most picturesque hg-
ures in the senate is that Of Senator
Knute Nelson, whose decision to retire
from the senate has met with insistent
protest on the part Of his friends. But
inasmuch rs he has the reputation OF
being "the harlest-headed individual
in the senate" it is not thought likely
that even President Wilson's letter
urging him to return will irkircp any
change of mind. He has been Min
nesota's senator for four successive
terms, since 1856.
Born in Voss, Norway, In 1843, de-
scended. as he says himself, from
long line of Norwegian pirates, Knute
Nelson came to the United States with
his mother when six years old, and
they made their first American home In
Chicago. Knute helped his mother by
selling papers in the streets. Later
they moved to Wisconsin, and for three
years he attended the academy at
Albion. In the Civil war he entered

Co~Operation, Not Competition

America is face to face with the necessity of revo-
utonizng her attitude toward business The events Of
our first year have demonstrated that we are as
unprepared for peace unprepared for war.
And unless we learn the lesson that this years
events ought to have taught us, ndustray and eco
nomcay the United States is in for very severe trial
not only during but after the close of the war.
The new principle of business that our unpre-

SPRECKELS, THE SUGAR MAN

Claus A. Spreckels, president OF
the Federal Sugar Refining company,
who, in the recent Investigation into
the sugar and coal shortage made
startling accusations against the gov

in 1868, of German ancestry. His ia
ther, known us the Sugar King" had

served rs secretary Of all the Spreckels

TWO AUTOMOBILE LIFTERS
ARE GRABBED BY SHERIFF

Dave Johnson of Texas, and Homer
c. Price of Amarillo, were arrested
Wednesday by Sheriff Street charged
with the theft of Dodge Roadster.
They were supposed to be from Ration
and were trying to trade the car for
u Ford and little boot. Some of the
parties became suspicious when no
one could identify the machine of the
men in Ration. The boys were game
and seemed anxious to phone Ration.
Officers were notified to investigate
and Johnson finally confessed to the
theft. He said he got the car in Trim
dad and had driven it through. He
said Price was not guilty and did not
know it had been stolen. Johnson al
so claimed TO be a brother of Mrs.
Jno. Jacobs of this city. The officers
do not believe Johnson is giving his
right name.

FOR 4 TRAINING PERIOD

Albuquerque, Sept. !, 1918 Lieut..
w. II. Gregory, who has for some
months been contested with the in
sp,ction department If the foJd ad-
ninistration in New Mexico, yesterday
received order to report nj once to
thecommanding officer Of the school
for automobile mechanics of Texas
university, Austin, Texas. Lieutenant
Gregory's connection with the food ad-
ministraton was under direct army
assignment.
Some time ago Lieutenant Gregory
petitioned the war department at
Washington To he transferred from the
comparatively inactive service in which
he was engaged to a department of
the army in which he could expect a
speedier transfer to France. This
petition apparently was delayed and
only yesterday did Gregory obtain his
orders.
Administrators Ely declared yester-
day he is sorry to lose Gregory but
that he has no alternative.
He has given me very excellent
service in his administration work,
the administrators said, "and am GER
tain if he is efficient in his work with
the army that he will prove serious
obstacle to Hun success"

LIVE SESSION AT LAWYERS
MEETING IN ALBUQUERQUE

Albuquerque. Aug. 31.-The report
of Paul A. +. Walter chairman of the
committee on the History of the Bar
and Bench" read by Sec'y +. c. Iden
and the paper given by II. II. McElroy
of Tucumcari, on THE Lawyer and the
Community" were two attractive fea-
lures of the morning session of the
New Mexico Bar Association.
Mr.. McElroy's paper on the Law
yer and the Community" was as John
W. Wilson declared, noble paper"
1t dealt as the subject suggests, with
the duty of the lawyer as leader in
community ideals.
1--WE know what has been the law
yer's place in history" said Mr.. Me-
Elroy. 1--WE know what his place is
today in the community and we may
contemplate what will be his place in
the immediate future" Never in the
history of the world has there been n
greater opportunity for the lawyer to
play such an important part in the
life of the community as today and
the approaching period of unrest and
even greater opportunities.
I'VE may not all of u.s." concluded
the speaker, referring to the members
of his profession, "be able to help rock
the cradles of some of those new dem
ocracies, but we can all teach broad
| ity.
1--WE cannot all sit in the councils
of the nations, but we can be wise and
honest in the councils of our home
communities.
1--WE cannot all take part in the solu-
ton of the great labor problems, but
we can teach and lead the people to
take an active part in the self-deter-
mination of the people, and teach them
that liberty is secured by the ballot
and not by the torch and the bomb.
I'VE can sustain the dignity of our
courts, the integrity of our legisla,
, lures, the fairness of our elections,
the justice of our laws, and the re-
spect and love Of the people for our
institutions"
Mr.. McElroy, who is the local chair
man of the four-minute men and other
war activities in Tucumcari; Fred Ay-
ers of Estancia, and George Taylor
of this city, were admitted to member
ship in the Bar Association this morn.

NEW MEXICO NEEDY WHEAT
GROWERS TO GET FEDERAL AID

Seed Grain Loans to be extended in
State through designated agencies of
Wichita Federal Land Bank.
Albuquerque n. NJ. Sept. 3.-Five
million dollars has been set aside by
the government to finance poor farm
ers in the growing Of wheat. In New
Mexico this aid is especially available
to the farmers of the counties of Col
fax, Union, Mora, eastern Quay and
De Baca. Farmers with assurance of
a prospective wheat crop, and which
crop virtually constitutes their assets,
by giving lien on the crop may secure
money to purchase seed wheat through
the agency of the Federal Land Bank
of Wichita, Kansas. 1t is emphasized
that this aid is intended for the farmer
who is unable to finance his wheat
planting for himself and is particularly
arranged for the relief of those living
in the drouth stricken grain-growing
areas of the southwest. 1t is pointed
out that the farmers of some of the
northeastern counties of New Mexico
have suffered particularly in this re-
gard, going into the drouth season
with less resources than many of those
in Oklahoma and elsewhere. "The
need of our state is greater in my
opinion than of richer communities
elsewhere" said Mr.. Ely, Federal Food
Administrator for New Mexico on his
return from Wichita where he con-
ferred with Secretary John b. Nc.
Manus, of the Federal Land Bank and
former New Mexican, regarding New
Mexico's participation in this federal
aid for wheat growing.
1t is necessary for the farmer tC
