MORE RAIN

There was a couple of clear
days the past week, but the
balance were rainy, and it
seems probable that all the
dry spots in the county have
been moistened. Tuesday even
ing another heavy rain fell in
the too favored spot about six
miles west of Estancia. 1t
filled the frog pond east of the
park, but the ditch carried it
off so that no water came
through town. Seth Williams
says it washed more on the
rolling ground on his place
than any of the former rains,
but did practically no damage
to crops. w. W. Condit also
reports a very heavy rain at
his place at the same time, but
mo damage worth mentioning.
There was no rain in town dur
ing the downpour west. This
storm was accompanied by a
great electrical display.

ARMY WORMS
NEAR MORIARTY

w. G. Gray, who lives east
of Moriarty, was in town Sat-
urday, and reports local in
vasion by army worms that
occurred a week or two ago.
A draw not far from his house
which had been dry for sew
eral years was overflowed this
summer, causing a dense
growth of weeds and grass,
and the worms bred in this
place. About two weeks ago
they started to move, and ate
up Mr.. Gray's garden in one
day. They were so thick that
they could not be kept out of
the house, the water tank was
covered with them, and they
even choked up the pump.
They were green, and about
one and one-half inches in
length. They were gone in
forty-eight hours after their
first appearance, and he does
not know where they went.

FINE CROPS

G. M. Milbourn and w. j
Sanders went over the farming
district in the west part of the
valley from Torreon Draw
north last week for the bear
growers association, to make
an estimate on the bean crop
They estimated that the yield
per acre will be probably
twice as much on the average
as any crop ever before raised
in the valley. In 1916 there
were a good many big yields,
but there were many poor
ones. On their trip last week
they saw but a very few
three or four at the most
poor fields, while all the bal
ance were uniformly good,
The acreage is also large
probably considerably larger
than ever before, so that the
aggregate crop will be some
thing worth talking about.
They say, also, that the
price prospect looks good.
The price will open at six to
seven cents. Old beans are
worth now 612c f. o. b. Estan-
cia.
The reason for the good
price is that the crop is short
elsewhere.
"The Bean Bag" a maya
zine published in st. Louis and
devoted to the interests of the
bean growers, says it looks
like Pintos would be rare birds
this year. The Colorado crop
in the north and northeast
part of the state is only about
25 per cent of normal, and
very poor in other parts of the
state. The Michigan crop, as
cording to the same authority,
is rs per cent of normal, and
California SO per cent.
Messrs. Milbourn and San
ders say further that the grain
and forage crop Of the valley
is far in excess of any former
year in acreage, and is prac.
tically uniformly fine, so that
in the aggregate these crops
will be possibly three or four
times as large as ever before
produced.

RADICALS AIM TO
 HAVE REVOLT HERE
Postal Authorities Secure Evidence Showing Plotting of !. w. w., An
 archiSts and Socialists

Washington, March 11.-Evidence gathered by the postofffce department through seized mail matter showing activities of the l. I. w.. anarchists, socialists and other radicals since the signing of the armistice was to be read today ino the records of the sen- ate committee Investigating lawless propaganda. The evidence was sub- nitted in the form of a memorandum from Solicitor Lamar of the depart ment declaring that the radical ele- ments of the United States were form ing a union with a view to "the over throw of the government of the United States by means of a bloody revolution and establishment of a Bolshevik republic and in the form of supporting excerpts from mail mat ter.
 The mem morandum, which was made public by the committee late yester- day asserted that the radical elements of the country had for the first tim found a common cause upon which they can unite' in Bolshevism. The l. ". w, Solicitor Lamar charged, were active in the support of this common cause through the organi- zatiOns field force of recruiting and subscription agents. He said the ex- cerpts submitted would show that the prOpag ganda had as one of it's ob- jects "a nation wide reign of terror"

PUBLIC SCHOOL RECESS
Local Schools Will Be Closed During the Week of March 24-2S, to Take Place of NTid-Year Vacation.

The local public schools, including the Vocational and Academic build lngs of the High school will have a vacation from March 21 to 31. The vacation is to take the place of the one which was to have been given the pupils in two sectiOns-two weeks at Christmas time and during the last week of February and the first week of March, and will be somewhat shorter than the original vacation. This shortening of the period is made because of the time lost while the epidemic was raging.
 The original plan of the state school authorities was to have all public schools closed during the peri ods name ed above as a, war-t time meas ure, as it was believed that a consid- erable amount of coal could be saved in this way. Because of the conclu- sion of the war these recesses were ruled out and shortly thereafter the epidemic of influenza caused a, shut down which consumed the greater part of the period allowed by state law. Tn order to put in the required number of school sessions, and close school before the end of June, only one week will be given as a recess at the end of this month.

BETTER SERH

 Difference Already ],
Better Service Campaign.

That the campaign Tor better pas ing and marking of express shipmAM has achieved concrete results, was dlcated by the reports made at F&s better service meeting of local ex. press employes today. Agent BeacM announced that not only were packz ages being received in better condiH ton for shipment, but also that there was 8 noticeable falling off in the number of consignments sent to the mo mark" bureaus of the express company.
 Before the drive, at least 25.500 packages of all conceivable kinds and sIzes he said, were received by these

 Four minute" speeches, urging the eHpressmen to live up to the new slo- gan Of "better scrVicc," were a feat ure Of the meeting which is to be the last Of the present campaign. The oetter service campaign committee formed among tho local force and composed of MT. Hancock, Surka, Iormay, Copeland, Knight and Zeitlin, had an opportunity to tell their fel- ~" "bI AtI , w iittI oloy n3O QO0G 0ur- Ing the campaign, and why they be- lleVed that the results of the CO., operation extended to them by ship pers would be far reaching
 The purposes of the campaign,. it was stated, will always be a dominant policy of the company in accepting business in the future. Proper pack Ing and correct marking, Agent Beach declared, will always be required when shipments are accepted by the express service for transDortatiOn This, he added, would be to the inter- est of the shippers themselves, as we'll as to that of the express company.
 It was intimated that the express workers will not be allowed to let their efforts for better service end With this particular drive. Within a month their attention will be centered upon correct methods in making out express receipts. The express com pany will conduct another national campaign chiefly among it's own en- ployes in every city and town in the country, to standardize and improve receipting methods.
