SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Colossal Experiment.
You'll hear socialist avow
He does not like a red.
The radical trusts neither, now,
1t has been truly said.
A bolshevist may not agree
With anarchists and such,
And none of them, it's plain to see,
Like one another much.
The years that pass, perhaps, will clear
The world of gloomy doubt
If folks can wait from year to year
And let them fight it out.
IF we can give them clubs and "gats, y
And let them shoot and hail,
They may prove like Kilkenny cats
Upon a larger scale.

The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than the most expensive

ALBUQUERQUE WILL
NOT RECEIVE MORE
GOVERNMENT GOODS

Word was received yesterday by
City Manager A. r. Hebenstreit
that no more army goods would
be shipped to Albuquerque for the
municipal store. Some few
days ago he was notified that there
would be three more carloads
shipped out of san Antonio. This
order, it appears, has been cam
Celled by the government.
The goods that were received
for tho municipal store comprised
only about one-third Of tho order
as il was put i'll by the city. These
have all been sold with the eNcep-
ton of some underclothes, several
pairs of boots and about 100 pairs
Of shoes and several sacks of beans.
These will be shipped back to the
government station at Eel Paso
within the next few days. In the
meantime the city has been author
lied to sell what boots and beans
are unsold. Any one can obtain
these by calling the city clerk.

An application filed by John
Becker of Belen for 4 new trial of
the suit brought by Lupita Davila,
in which she recovered $3.50 for
permanent damage done to her
nose, was refused yesterday in the
district court. Lupita Davila first
brought suit for $1,000, which
amount was doubled, as the extent
Of the injuries to the young Wom-
ans nose, the result of an auto ac-
cident in which Mr.. Becker's car
coIlided with that in which the Da-
Villas were driving, became appar-
ent, a serious injury to the bone de-
yeloping.
The jury granted the plaintiff
one-guarter of the additional
amount in addition to the $1,000.
A suit filed by Davila's wife for
$1,000 for injuries is to be tried in
March, unless a previous settlement
is made.

The large amount of business
written by this company during the

dence of the high regard in which
this company is held by the people
of this state.
The company, during the past
wear. has made steady gains in all
its departments, this being espe-
cially true regarding the insurance
in force, surplus, legal reserves and
assets.
That the affairs are in expert

did results achieved by f. ],

perience in the life insurance busl-
ness.

STOCK TO BE REDUCED
ON CORONADO FOREST

John Kerr, assistant district for

partment, has been in Tucson in
connection with reduction of
stock on the Coronado national
forest for the coming year.
During the period of the war
and for sometime after, this range
was heavily stocked for the pur-
pose of fattening stock cattle. 1t
is now thought that the necessity
for this is past and that the num-
Der should be reduced. 1t has been
the policy of the forest service to

SAVINGS BANK
DEPOSITS SHOW
RAPID GR0WT TIL


The Kiwanis club at its weekly
Ilacheon yesterday went on record
as favoring the abolition Of the
system of weights and measures
now in use in the United States and
substituting the metric system,
which has been in use in Europc
for many years. This news WI
perhaps bring joy to the hearts Of
the school children of the present
and future generations, as III al
events the adoption of he metric
system will abolish fractions, cube
root, square root, proportion, Alge-
bra and other forms of mathemal-
cal prosecutions which have been
the bane of students for genera
lions. The matter of adopting the
metric system was brought before
the CLUB by DR.. c. II. Carnes, who
explained the system in detail ana
quoted the opinions of prominent
men of America, to the effect that
the metric plan should be adopted
without further delay, not only
because it would simplify the
weights and measures now used n
this country, but would be of the
greatest benefit in the South and
Latin American countries, in Whlch
the American system in use IN
England and America is held in
great disfaVor the current system
in the Latin-American countries
being the metric system a com
mittee composed of DIR. G. IL.
Carnes, a, r. HeAenstreit and
George Valiant was appointed to
draft suitable resolutions which
will be forwarded to the senator's
and congressman from New Next
co. urging them to hasten the adop-
ton of the metric system.
}. w. Leech, Of the Citizens Ma
tional bank. talked on savings OF
the past year, giving figures which
showed that the savings accounts
in the banks of Albuquerque IN
creased over 100000 from Deem
Der 81, 1913, to December 81 1919
In announcing this gratifying m
formation Mr. Leech presented the
following statistics:
on December 81, 1918, the total
savings deposits in the Albuquer-
que banks were as follows;
First National, $1,000, GOO;
American Trust, $45o,0OO; Citi-
zens Saving. 100000; total, 81 AGO.
900.
on December 81, 1919, the tota'
savings were: ....
First National $t380,o0O;
American Trust, $575, 900; Citizens
Savings, 100000.
The above figures represent q
gain of $65O,000, not including the
cash on deposit. During the period
between December 81, 1918, and
December 81, 1919, $3.50 new de-
posits were listed in tho Albuquer-
que banks.
The favorable statistics repre-
sent an increased thriftiness in the
citizens of Albuquerque which Is
attributed to the Saving habit az
CURED through the Liberty loar
drives and thrift stamp sales. There
was no solicitation on the part OF
any of the city banks.
A municipal camping ground FOL
tourists was also discussed and was
heartily endorsed by the club. This

Win Albuquerque have a poultry
and pet stock show this winter?
Yes, if the poultry raisers are will
ing to pool their services and time
for two or three days and do their
share to help make the venture 4
success, and not expect three or
four persons to do all the work.
A meeting of the Bernalillo
County Poultry and Pet Stock as
ISOLATION will be held tonight at s
O'clock at the Chamber of Com
merce for the purpose of discuss
ing the matter. The attendance at
this meeting will decide the fate Of
the exhibition. If only a half dozen
persons turn out, there will he no
show. If the attendance is a good
representation Of the poultry and
pet stock raisers, and the proper
spirit is shown, the show Will be
staged some time in the fore part
of February. This was the an
nouneement made yesterday by one
of the officers or the association.
we had over 100 entries at
our show last year." he said, "and
the exhibition was success from
every viewpoint, and from what |
have been able to learn 1t would
not be unreasonable to expect close
to 1000 entries this year But UNI
less the poultry and pet stock
raisers show their willingness to
cooperate and bear their share Of
the burden, by attending tOnight'5
meeting and agreeing to DO their
part to make the show a success,
the project will be called off for
this year. Last year three or four
of us did most of the work ana we
are not going to undertake TO
stage a show this year and so
through the same experience again.
We are willing to do our share, but
must have the cooperation Of all
other producers if the matter is to
be carried through

has already written letters to sew

stock experts to see if they have.
open dates for the early part or
next month. If so, one of them
will be gotten to judge the Albu-
querque exhibits, Il the show IS
held. Arrangements can also be
made to get coops like the ones
used last year. These, as well as
feed for the poultry and pet stock,
would be, furnished by the associa-
ton ....
1t is the intention Of the promo
tiers, in case the show is held, to
include cats, dogs and guinea pigs
in the exhibits, thus adding great
~ to the number of entries and at
tractiveness Of the exhibition.
1t has been demonstrated in the
past that there shows have done
much to stimulate interest in poul-
try raising, while they have also
been of practical value from an
advertising standpoint. Visitors TO
the show become interested IN
poultry raising and embark IN
business for themselves, while pure
/ bred birds are disposed of at fancy
prices which could be obtained IN
no other way as, at the show, the
birds are displayed to the best ad-
vantage and there is something IN
connection with such an exhibit
ton that lures people into the
poultry business and they are will
ing to pay almost any reasonable
price for fancy stock.
