ECONOMICS OF THIG "ORIGINAL
a PACKAGE"

Turning to the food industries we
find that the necessity of cUnserv-
ing labor has added another pow
erful economic argument to the
many commercial considerations in
favor of original packages,
whether for cereals or for Jam, for
dairy products or for bakery goods,
In the economy Of the modern
household there is little,,or no pro-
flslon for the wholesale storage of
the seasons food supplies, as in the
days of our grandparents. Thirty
years ago practically every thrifty
housewife, , regardless of whether
she We're rich, or poor bought flour
by the barrel, sugar by the sack,
breakfast cereals in quantity and
cured meats by the side" The
ldtchenette of the modern flat
dweller could not accommodate A
barrel of flour except by the eliini-
nation of the ice chest or the range.
On the prevailing scale of wages
the small grocer can ili-afford to
paw his clerks for weighing out and
wrapping up small packages. Not
only is the loaf Of bread that comes
from the bakery already wrapped
in sanitary, air-proof, sealing
paraffined wrapper, more salable
than the unwrapped loaf besides it.
but it is more economical to handle.
Not only is the breakfast food in
the paper carton with sanitary
liner and hermetically sealed wrap
per Never touched by hand" and
therefore perfectly clean and pure.
but it is also ready for delivery
without additional labor on the
part of the shopkeeper,

RED TAPE.

Here is an illustration of the
way things often go in government
work.
An oklahoma Indian wanted to
make a contribution to a church.
He had to go through this rigma-
role; The request had to be SUBJ
mitted to a field clerk From him
it had to go TO Il superintendent
The latter must report on it to
the secretary Of the interior. He
has to refer it to the commissioner
on Indian affairs. The latter puts
it up to the assistant commissioner.
The official has to refer it to the
removal restriction clerk, who in
turn sends it back to the commits
sioner Of Indian affairs. lie sends
it back to the secretary of the in
terror. Then it returns TO the field
clerk, who tells the Indian what DE
can do.
Judging by the way some of the
army supplies moved, the Indian
department is not the only one in
which red tape prevails. Incidents
like these explain why a lot OF
people here in Albuquerque are nor
anxious to have the United States
government expand its activities
very much.

Berustorff could be persuaded TO
do was to try to stab a friendly
nation in the back and defend
drowning of women and children
without warning, Not one step
would he so beyond that. This is
what gives especial value to his
walls now that holding the Ger
mans to the dictated terms OF
peace suggests q cruel disposition
on the part of the victors.
Coming from any other German
but Barnstorff these tears might
attract but little attention. Know
ing him as they do, however, as so
soft-hearted that he could approve
nothing worse on the part of his
countrymen than the bombing Of
civilians and dragging of young
girls into slavery, Americans natul-
ally are Impressed" So inn
pressed arc they that if they should
meet up with him they would be
sorely tempted to tell it to him
with a brick.

SCHOOL BOND SALE.

In view Of the stagnation in bond
circles the Albuquerque board of
education seems to have secured
as high a figure, or rather assur-
ance of the best terms possible,
for the school bonds. 1t is not
likely that there will be before the
option for purchase expires much
advance in prices of securities
AND the contracting buyers who
put up forfeit for the option will
have incentive to comply with the
contract, during a period allowing
them to finance payments during
building operations. The needs Of
the city for school buildings prior
to the opening of the fall term is
too imperative to warrant pcrma-
nent delay in construction to wait
for a market demand that proba-
bly, will be poorer in summer than
at present, and perhaps prices Of
material advancing.

LANGUAGE or locomotive.

and Easy to Understand.


There is s9mething fascinating
about a locomotive whistle 1t is
the mystic language of the rails
widely audible but not very widely
understood.
TO the uninitiated, an engine
whistle seems only to say; "IIere +
come; look out for mel" But to
the railroad men, and particularly
those of the operating department,
the shrill signals from an engine
constitute a vocabulary that IS
quite extensive.

New York, March fS.-The stock
market was hesitant and irregular

Rails comprised the most note

Of those issues adding two to -four
points to recent gains and showing
extreme advances of five to ten
points for the week. Individually
Crucible Steel stood out as the
most conspicuous stock.
General Motors, which usually
moves in common with Crucible,
was most erratic, losing four points
ut the outset. rallying six and clos
ing at n fraction loss. Other mo-
tors, also steels and equipments,
were one to five points higher.
Sales amounted to 475,00O
shares.
Aside from sterling, which de-
clined slightly, the foreign ex-
change market made no material
response to the disquieting German
situation. Even marks, in which
dealings We're reported as nomi-

WHERE TO FARM.

In an address at the meeting of
the New Mexico wool Growers as
ISOLATION, Dir. Grille, late president
Of the State College of Agriculture,
made an emphatic assertion that
no attempt at farming should be
made without irrigation wher the
rainfall during the growing season
does not average ! 8 inches or mora
for a period of five years. He
said it was unfair to the man who
attempted the farming and unfair
to the stockmen to allow it. on
the other hand, he told the wool
growers that in places where con-
ditlons were right for farming,
landowners We're not playing fair
with the state and the rest of the
people if not farming it.
