Berlin, March 6.-Newspapers ap-
pear to be of the opinion that the
strike movement has reached a climax,
and that there are indications that the
political issues involved will find early
adjustment through negotiations going
on at Weimar. The Independent So
c~ialists seem to be backing away from
the movement now, and to be endeav-
oring to unload the responsibility for
the outbreak onto the Spartacans, who
are accused Of having precipitated the
strike before organization plans had
been thoroughly perfected. The slogan,
Down with Ebert and Scheidemann,"
is no longer given prominence in the
agitation. The Vorwaerts, the Social
list organ, states it believes an under
standing will be reached in the course
Of the day. Gustav Noske, minister Of

co AWAY FROM HOME
TO HEAR THE NEWS

Fifteen carloads of pinto
beans will be ready to ship
from Estancia and Mountain
air by September Is, w. A.
Field, secretary of the New
Mexico Bean Growers as
sociation, announced yester-
day. Growers are holding
them at 8 cents a pound and
have pretty fair prospects of
getting it, as reports from 9TH
Ell bean producing states show
the crop there is far below the
normal This will naturally
increase the demand for the
New Mexico output.
The Estancia warehouse is
nearly completed. Mountain
airs warehouse is ready and
cleaning has begun. Moriarty
expects to begin cleaning the
first of next week.
Close estimates which have
been made place the total
bean crop in the Estancia val
ley at 200 cars. Other crops
are excellent. Wheat, in par
ticular, was exceptionally
good. One farmer, Walter
Martin, near Mountainair, had
sixty acres which yielded
thirty-seven bushels per acre."
The foregoing is from the
Albuquerque Journal of the
18th.
AS heretofore stated in
these columns, Walter Mar
tins fall wheat made 35 1-3
bushels per acre, and his
spring wheat FL 2-3 bushels
per acre. Consequently his
wheat did not make 81 BUSH
els per acre.
Last Monday was the 18th
of September, and no new
beans were ready to ship from
Estancia. Nobody had thresh-
ed at the time this was print
ed.
The Estanci warehouse
was about half she'd at the
end of last week.
The other statements in the
above may be correct.

THE FARMERS ARE AHEAD

After considering the plan
proposed by the railroad
brotherhoods of having the
government buy the railroads
and turn them over to the en-
ployes for operation, letting
the employees fix their own
salaries, we had just conclud-
ed to ask the government to
buy the News-Herald and let
the present owner run it for a
salary to be determined by
him; the government to make
any improvements necessary
to keep the plant up to re-
quirements.
1t occurred to us that such
procedure would be a fine
thing-for the present owner
of the News-Herald.
But the pesky farmers have
got ahead of US, and we're
afraid that by the time the
government buys the railroads
and the farms there will be no
money left to buy newspapers.
The Oklahoma Farmers
Union have been "resoluting,"
and here is what they say:
eff congress in it's wisdom
sees fit to give these railroad
men their demands, we ask
that congress shall also buy
all of the farms in the United
Estates, with their equipment,
and employ all of the farmers
to operate them, paying to the
farmers a wage equal to two
thirds of the hourly wage that
the average railway employe
receives; and then sell all
farm products to the consum-
er at cost"
And just think! The farm
ers are playing scab, by offer
ing to work at starvation
wages.
We didn't intend to do any
thing of that sort. Our inten-
|tion was to ask as much wag.

Shirley Milbourn was in good

was in from the country. Only
81 votes were cast. The SOL

for the board of control

is quite probable that no cleo
ton was held in a number of

MAY BE COMPELLED
TO ADVERTISE

HlCilt dSIlOll w lOWCl CllC SOo
of living Woodrow Wilson
President of the United States
in an address delivered at 6
joint session of the two houses
of Congress on August 8
1919, frankly pinned his faith
to publicity, which in these
days means advertising, as the
one effective means of putting
an end to profiteering, and
called upon Congress to con-
slider the proposal as neces.
sary to bring down the prices
of food and clothing.
The President spoke as fol-
lows:
"And publicity can accom-
plish great deal. The pur-
chaser can often take care of
himself if he knows the facts
and influences he is dealing
with; and purchasers are not
disinclined to do anything,
either singly or collectively,
that may be necessary for
their self-protection. The De-
partment of Commerce, the
Department of Agriculture,
the Department of Labor, and
the Federal Trade Commission
can do a great deal toward
supplying the public, system
atically and at short intervals,
with information regarding
the actual supply of particu-
lar commodities that is in ex-
istence and available, and
with regard to supplies which
are in existence but not avail
able because of boarding, and
with regard to the methods of
price fixing which are being
used by dealers in certain
foodstuffs and other necessar-
les.
There can be little doubt
that retailers are in part
sometimes in large part-re-
SpOnSible for eXhorbitant pric-
es; and it is quite practicable
for the government through
the agencies l have mentioned
to supply the public with full
information as to the prices at
which retailers buy and as to
the costs of transportation
they pay, in order that it may
be known just what margin of
profit they are demanding.
Opinion and concerted action
on the part of purchasers can
probably do the rest"
Thus the issue is clearly
stated. The admitted duty of
the government is to lower, if
possible, the cost of living.
The admitted way this object
can be accomplished is by pub
licity which, as stated, in these
days means advertising.
When this conviction is pub
licly expressed by the Presi-
dent of the United States it
would seem fitting that Con-
gress should give thought to it
and that publishers of coun-
try newspapers should give
thought to it with a view to
forming a definite opinion as
to the merits of the conten-
ton. Paid advertising will
provide pitiless publicity
