FEDERAL BUILDING.
Wanted IN DEM|NG.
Chamber Of Commerce Met Last Friday
and Have Taken Up Matter with
New Mexieo's Representatives
TO KEMOvE CONCKErE FLOORS
Railroad Looking TO City to Take Old
Camp Cody Mementos From Proper
ty Occupied by Camp Cody

The directors OF the Demlng Cham
Der OF Commerce met last Friday mi ~
ing TO discuss the matter OF obtaining
n federal building for Deming. AS a
result Of the conference correspondents
has been taken mp with New Mexicos
representatives In both branches of
congress. The directors agreed that
there was no reason why Deming
should not have federal building
commensurate with Its importance ana
the amount OF business that has been
transacted at the local post office.
There was some discussion concern
ing the proposed high tension line from
the proposed hydro-electric plant at
the Elephant Butte dam. No definite
action was taken.
The chamber Of commerce Is making
an attempt to persuade the govern
ment to remove the concrete floors
from the railroad property which the
0rganiza tion had leased and sub-leased
10 the government as a part OF the
Camp Cody site. The railroad wants
the floors removed and the chamber OF
commerce thinks the government ought
10 do the work since the cost Of the
leases was born by the civic organiza-
ton. The concrete floors seem to be
a little memento which the government
Is glad TO leave with the sand ada
cent.

CASES OF PROFITEERING HERE
Criminal Prosecution sor Those That
Oyerchsrse. n Threat Of Federal

u. v. Doyle, special agent OF the de.
partment OF justice here, is giving his
atfent0n 10 an examination into the
cost OF living. He expects to have
his data ready for use by the time con-
gress has put some teeth into the
food control law so that criminal prose-
cufions can be undertaken. He Is
anxious that the public take an inter-
est In the campaign, because 1t will
save many dollars to the public. He
wants specific instances Of profiteering.
Mr.. Doyle has found isolated cases
OF excessive charging. Evidently some
are charging according to the occasion
and the customer all that the traffic
win bear" II Is his wish TO break up
this practice which Is vicious and real
ly goes beyond mere high phices. I'm
provement has already been noted in
particular cases. As q whole. however,
Mr.. Doyle Ii inclined 10 the view that
high prices are not the fault OF the
retailer or the producer, but somewhere
In the middle the prices run up. II
10 the object OF the probe to find out
just how much is due to market"ju
Cling and how much to other agen-
cies.
Amendments to the food control act
Imposing a 5000 fine and imprison.
nent OF two years Of profiteering were
ordered fav0rably reported last We'd

mittee.
The legislation was proposed by
Attorney General Palmer and extends
The terms Of the act to include among
The list OF necessities wearing ap-
parel, containers OF food, feed or
fertilizers. fuel oil and natural gas"
The amendment granting price-fix-
lug power TO President Wilson was
eliminated upon y suggestion OF the
attorney general. who told the com.
miftee yesterday such power was
''inspplicable In the present fight
against high prices"
Retailers, previously exempted
now are liable 20 prosecution for yio-
latfons, but farmers and farmers CO
operative associations are exempted.
The amendment probably will be
considered by the house tomorrow.

sylyania, was the principal speaker to-
day at the closing session OF the gov

Uphold Court sIartis. System

Washington, August 24.-In approx
ing the report submitted TO him by Ma
jor General Francis J. Herman. head
Of the special war department board Of
courtsmartial and their procedure, Sec
retary Baker today took the official
stand that the present system should
not he changed except In minor details.
Inferentially, the secretary upheld Gen
eral Kernan's view that "court-martials
have always been agencies for creating
and maintaining the discipline OF ar
mics" rather than agencies for the
nice exemplification Of technical
rules Of law"
The war departments board report
reflected the opinion OF 225 officers
who were circularized. More than half
OF these gave hearty approval to the
present system, forty-three condemned
II as basically wrong and the remainder
sixty-seven pointed out specific weak
nesses which they thought ought to
be remedied.

GRAssHOPPERs ARE

Grasshoppers are doing extensive
damage TO crops In certain districts
south OF Silver City. On the ranch OF
O. G. Hinman nine miles below town
some twenty acres OF beans have been
completely destroyed and other crops
are reported damaged. The hoppers
do appear very thick ON the prairie
and the deduction is that they gather
for miles around ON the cropped area.
II Is not an uncommon sight to see 80
many hoppers on a stalk OF corn that
Il is bent over with the weight. They
make n very complete job wherever
they operate.-Silver City Enterprise.

GOOD CLOTH MADE
FROM YUCCA PLANTS

A few years ago. when the war cut
off shipments OF jute from India, the
cotton balers Of the south were In de
spair for some fabric 10 use as a coy-
ering for cotton bales. II looked like
an impossible proposition TO find a
suitable substitute.
Recalls Apache Cloth
Then It was that some genius re-
membered that the Apache Indians Of
New Me1ico were experts at weaving
blanketS And coarse cloth from the
desert yucca, or Spanish bayonet, that
grows In profusion In the southern
part of the state.
Experiments were made with the
plant. and II was found that by care
full "heckling" the same operation that
flax IL subjected to In the weaving Of
linen, a good quality OF fibre could be
obtained. Then the active mannfac-
ture Of fabric for bale coverings was
begun.
There are a number OF varieties OF
the plant useful for weaving, but two
are the most valuable. yucca fila
mentosa" and yucca fluca.' No
special effort Is made to sort out
these, aud the plants are taken as
they come.
Is Contract Work
The industry In New Mexico is car
ried on in the desert north Of Fort
Bliss along the FL Paso & Southwest
ern railroad. The gathering OF the
yucca Is done on contract by Mexi-
cans, among whom the ground Is d.
vided. The green portion and part
OF the trunk Is taken and packed into
bales about three and half feet in
length. II Is shipped to factories at
Kansas City.
Cattlemen feared that the denuding
of the country Of the yucca might
have tendency to spoil valuable cat
tie feed. II was found, however, that
cattle choose only the center fila.
ment. rejecting the green dagger-like
leaves. The territory that was cut
over two years ago Is now coming up
with a new growth OF yucca, and the
feed situation has been actually i'm
proved. observers say.-El Paso Morn
ing Times.

remarked that the farmers and cattle

days. Both are prospering and the cost
OF producing has gone down until II can
