A curb to protect the flowers and

Keep Down the Weeds,

Weeds will thrive even when pro-
ductive plants will not, and no culti-
vation is required for bumper crop
of pests. All that either or both of
them desire is to be left alone. Then
the weeds will choke the plants and
the pests will devour them, and the
garden will finish the season a wreck
as far as it's appearance and produc-
tivity are concerned. This causes q
criminal waste at a time when nc
waste can be tolerated. 1t is a waste
Of the seed that has been planted; il
is waste Of the labor that has planted
and cultivated it, and it is a consequent
waste Of the crops that should have
been gathered in the fall.

MUCH ADVICE ON
TELEPHONE RATES

THE state corporation commission Is
iratltiu- much advice these day
regarding The adjustment OF tele-
phone rates. The writers seem 10
tear that the commission may take
undue advantage of the Mountain
States Telephone and Telegraph
Company in the cas-, now before The
commission The writer's indicate
that the telephone rates are not out
OF line with the high prices prevail
ing IN other lines.
The commission received a long
letter from Harry Jafia OF Roswell
this morning in which he points out
to the commission its duties in the
telephone matter. In his opinion"
the telephone rates now in effect
are not all out OF line with the pre-
vailing high cost of operation. If
the investigation now being conduct
ed by the commission discloses the
fact, as it undoubtedly will, that tele-
phone rates cannot in justice to the
telephone company be lowered at this
time. it is TO be hoped that the com
mission will promptly confirm and
approve present rates without finch
ing or fear that somebody will ac-
cuse them of trucking to capital"
IN the mean time the commission
is busy studying every datil OF the
case that i, may be able to decide
the case on It's merits after giving
all parties full opportunity to be
heard.

LAS CRUCES EDITOR
HAS AN ILLUSION

We have i, on good authority that
Santa Fe has cut a good crop III
weeds in and around that city. for
which we claim a good deal OF credit
having called their attention t. the
matter some weeks ago. or course
a, that time we didn't tell the who'll
truth-that where Santa Fe had one
measley weed we have a hundred.
The editor broke a headlight on
his ji,ney the past week on one OF the
highways OF the county while thread
ing our way through a road with the
wild sunflowers SO high on each side
of the road that it was difficult 10
see even the sky. We lost our way
in the center OF the road and in our
panic crashed into a sunflower stalk
and knocked out the glaSs-l.as
Cruces Republic.
The Editor OF the Republic Is very
badly mistaken II he thinks he cauS-
ed Santa Fe to sacrifice it's enormous
growth OF weeds. That Las Cruces
has A hundred to Santa Fe'S one We
also challenge. The correct dope on
the subject, brother Bronson. is that
the Forestry Service has taken over
stately weed forests and has marked
the sunflowcrs for lumber and the
smaller weeds for railroad ties and
the logs are now being cut and ship
ped TO the BIG saw mill AT Alhuqucr-
que. which has thus been enabled to
operations after a five year
shut down for lack OF timber.

is THE PRoFITEER IMMUNE!

The people OF the United States
are keenty disappointed in the re-
suits SO far of the Federal Govern
nentis campaign against The pro-
fiteer. The campaign started with
a great flourish. The department OF
justice started up It's nationwide ma
Chinsry 10 put an end TO profiteer-
ing. The actual results so far have
been nominal II anything the prices
have stiffened. At least we are
told that clothing will cost more and
dealers still so advertise.
IL is a we'll known fact that price.
OF meat animals have dropped very
materially the last few weeks and so
has the wholesale price of dressed
meats. This has no, benefited the
consumer at all. The retail meat
dealers are not making any expla-
nations voluntarily and when asked
about il, talks about the weather.
II seems that the government could
take a hand in the matter and al
beast through publication OF whole
sale cost Of meats from day to day
inform the consumer in a way to
act for himself. As il is the people
are compelled to buy less meat which
again helps to lower the price the
producer receives.
II everybody was making big
wages. II might matter less. But ,
very large proportion OF the wage
are making no more money
than they did before the war. These
people are living on scant %rations
and are lily clothed, because they do
hot make enough money to buy what
they need with the high prices now
prevailing.
But II doc, seem that the profiteer.
