NOT STRONG FOR
DUAL LANGUAGE PLAN

Santa Fe. n. NJ Jan. 20.-Holding
that Il Is the Amercanization and not
the Latlnlzation Of New Mexico for
which the citizenship Of the state
should strive, Democratic members Of
both houses Of the fourth state legls-
lature will no doubt oppose strongly
the governors plan Of compulsory
teaching Of Spanish IN all the schools
Of the state. Granting that the com.
munltes In the state where Spanish
is spoken largely should have teachers
Of dual lingual attainmcnts, which is
already the contemplation Of the law.
II Is no. felt by Democratic Legislators
that Spanish should be placed on an
equal footing with the English lang
uage in the states schools, where the
objective II would seem from all edu-
catlonal points Of view, Is n higher
degree Of development Of English ms
"a commercial and educational factor
II is not through the Spanish but
through the English language that the
state may hope to hold its place in
the sun" among the other states Of
the union. according ITO Democratic
legislators at the state capitol.

FARM BUREAU HAS
DONE GOOD WORK

The Curry County Farm Bureau is
an organization that Is destined TO he
of great benefit to the farmers Of
Curry County, in fact Il has already
accomplished many things Of great
benefit to the farmers aud stockmcn
Many of these things were not fully
appreciated because the people got the
benefits without really knowing who
or what organization was Instrumental
In bringing them about. II was last
fall that the farm bureau. working in
cooperation with the Clovis Mill &
Elevator Company, secured needed
seed wheat for this section ut time
when there was none in the country
and at time when haste counted for
a good deal. During the recent ex-
tremely had weather II has been nee
eSSary 10 ship much hay and other
feed into this county and II was the
farm bureau that located this feed fer
the farmer and II was the same farm
bureau that helped to get an extern
sion Of the half freight rate on feed
that has already saved the stockmen
of Curry County $1,000 in freight

buying Farmers can accomplish
much for themselves by the proper or.
ganization and the News is sure that
the work Of the bureau viii he better
appreciated when thoughtful people
will look back and see what Il has
really accomplished since its organ

CLOVIS NEEDS
MORE SIDEWALKS

Postmaster A. B. Wagner is strong
for sidewalks. He confidently believes
that Clovis will get city mail delivery
during tie next twelve months IL the
people will put their shoulders to the
wheel and build more walks. The
News believes that building OF more
sidewalks is the most progressive step
the city can take during the present
year. Clovis SHOULD have several miles
Of sidewalks built whether we expect
to get free city mail delivery or not.
One objection is put forth that pos
sibly the financial condition of the
city is such that the building Of the
street crossings can not be financed
This in the opinion of the News,
might be provided for by the property
owners in each block shouldering the
burden Of building the crossings and
pro-ratlng the cost along the same
plan as the intersections have been
built In the paving Of North Main
Street. Certainly most any home
owner would be willing to pay small
amount toward getting crossings in
addition to paying for IDS walk in
front Of his property The property
owners might advance the money to
the city for the crossings, making It
in tie shape Of Il loan which the coun-
Gil could repay later when the city's
finances are in better condition. There
is no getting around the fact that
Clovis needs more sidewalks. Let's
get 'em during 1910.

CONGRESS- WOULD DEVISE
PLAN TO START BUILDING

Washington. Jan 20.--Early action
on legislation to adjust war contract
controversies was urged recently by
the department Of labor, in a state
ment showing that the labor surplus
in many industrial centers had in
creased rapidly in the last ten days.
Plants heretofore engaged In war
work were said not to be changing
back to peace activities rapidly
enough to hold their proper portion
of labor The cancelling Of war con-
tracts with no provision for an early
financial adjustment Of the manufac-
turers' investment in war machinery,
materials and partially completed
products, was blamed for plunging
some concerns into a state bordering
on stagnation, with no certainty as to
their working capital
The department Of labor's investi-
Ghon Of ways and means to stlmu-
late building and improvements and
augment the absorption of labor in in
dustry, disclosed these two important
ways Of getting results the state
ment says:
Confederation enabling the
building and loan associations Of the
country to use their real estate mort
cages for collateral in system of
fcGeral home loan banks
"Two--Leglslation to authorize i'm
mediate adjustment and payment by
the government Of reasonable claims
growing out of the summary rescind-
Ing of war contracts.
THE former would pe,mit home
builders to avail themselves OF almost
two billion dollars in loans. the latter
would provide much needed immedi-
ate capital for manufacturing"

posed law on the first recommends

Santa Fe n NJ, Jan 29.-That the

mltted last Thursday when Dan Pad

ty, INDUCED in tilt with Speaker
Sedillo over the reading Of bills that
had been introduced IN Spanish. Mr.

the bills should be read twice In

Speaker pointed ont that the consti-
tuition only called for the English
readlng, aud that the Spanish version
was added merely for the convenience
of those members who were ignorant
OF English, This ruling was respon-
Sible for the statement of the Bernnl-

WHAT YOU CAN Do
WITH ONLY ONE COW
(From Farwell Tribune)


At the solicitation Of his neighbors,
Geo. W. Clark consented to give the
history Of his one COW, showing what
Il young man may accomplish on u
very small capital If he viii stay with
It,
On April |. 1909, he bought at the
stock yards in Kansas City short
two-year-Old grade Hereford heifer.
costing $1,000, more for the purpose
of transportation with an immigrant
car than anything else, and on May
9th Of the same year this heifer
brought heifer calf which thrived
and did well, and 1t in turn brought
three calves, and afterwards was kill
cd hy the railroad on October 4th,
1914. He kept all the increase from
the start, never making any exchanges
nor making any additions to the little
herd by buying. He had what might
he called bad luck, IN that his herd
was exposed to the open railroad
which caused him considerable extra
loss. In the nine years from April
18th, 1909 to October 25th, 1918 he
had eight head of cows and calves
killed by the railroad, and died, and
collected damages to the amount Of
S11S. and has sold seven. head and
shipped twenty-five head Of cows and
calves to the Kansas City market.

At no time after this COW first came
fresh was the family out Of milk and
butter, and while Mr.. Clark did not
keep an accurat" account, he Is very
positive that for the last five years
the proceeds derived from the sale of
butter was not less than $40 each
year. which would be $3.50, making II
total Of $2,020.J0 from one COW in nine
years.
Mr. Clark is very positive that had
he not had the misfortune OF having
his cows and heifers killed by the
railroad he would have had at the
very least fifty head Of cattle to the
credit Of one cow. II is safe to say
that in the nine years this cow never
layed out more than a dozen nlgths
from her accustomed lot,
In giving this little history Mr..
Clark doesn't want anyone to go on
the assumption that all one has to do
to start In the cattle business is to
buy COW and turn her out On the
range and get results without any
effort ON his part, but says that with
ordinary care and attention anyone
can get as good or even better results.
Now suppose that person would
start out with ten or twenty head Of
cows. Is 1t not well for the young
man to consider the possibilities in
this line before dcserting the farm for
the humdrum and n,ertainties of an
existence In the city?
