About the usual amount of fall
blowing will always be done. Farm
ers have long realized that fall plow-
ing for wheat Is much more profitable
than spring blowing, for many rea-
sons. Wheat is the money crop Of
the Northwest and regardless of all
other kinds. of farming, wheat must he
paramount now and for years to come.
No matter what the crops fall plow-
ing is best. The important thing is
to get as many acres plowed before
frost as possible which would not he
plowed under ordinary circumstances.
There is generally power enough in
every community. although like mon
ey, some people have surplus while
others have little or none.
Every farm bureau should take i'm.
mediate steps to learn how much
blowing is likely to be Sighted on
account Of lack Of facilities. There
ought to be a power club organized
which will agree to pillow this surplus
at a price which will compete with
horse blowing, and every tractor
should be used to its fullest capacity
with night crew, If necessary. to get
the extra blowing done as early as
possible. The owner Of the power
should be paid the going rate and the
tractor agencies would be more than
willing to keep the tractors in first
class shape and to furnish expert
service.

Las Vegas, N. M., Dec. 2S-A mo- torious band of outlaws composed of 26 men who, under the leadership Of Billy the Kid, have for the last six months overrun eastern New Mexico, burning and committing other deeds of outlawry, was broken up last Sat urday morning by the killing of two and the capturing of four others, in- cluding the leader. The prisoners were lodged in the Las Vegas jail and threats of lynching were prevalent. but the vigilance of the captors, Deputy Sheriff Garrett and others, prevailed. Yesterday after Garrett and the other captors boarded the train with the prisoners for the purpose of taking them to Santa Fe Then follows long account of the opposition of the peo- pie and the local officers to the re- moval of the prisoners, as it was de- sired to lynch them, but with the aid of the railroad authorities the prison CTS were removed. Billy the Kid soon after escaped from the jail at Santa Fe and established a reign of terror throughout New Mexico Some years later he was killed by Garrett, then sheriff of Dona Ana county.

The Crime Wave

There is a timely discussion of crime epidemics going on in the newspapers and elsewhere. We are not sure that timely" is proper adjective "Timely" is a synonym for Appropriate" It there fore depends upon the the discussion takes whether it is timely.
 That there is crime wave of unprecedented proportions and broad sweep is evident Various causes are assigned for it and doubt all of them are contrbutory Some charge it to the newspaper head lines; some to the movies some to unemploy- ment; some to greater need of in the win- ter season
 We used to think alcohol had great, deal to do with crime and many, thousands of crimes were traced to alcohol. But there is comparatively little alcohol consumed.
 Many of the worst crimes which have been lately featured the newspapers could not have been eom mitted because of unemployment. They not crimes which driven tempted by finan- cial circumstances-by need.
 We have overlooked think the real and an old and continuing one-the prevailing laxity in the enforcement of laws against crime neglect of the ordinary precautions which taken in Euro pean cities against crime and lack of the promptness and severity with which crime is dealt there.

.HARBORBOATM
 IN NEW YORK I0 STRIKE IN JAN. 1

NEW YORK. Dec. 2s.-The Harbor Boatmen's union voted tonight to re- ject the. new working agreement for 1921, tendered by six hundred inde- pendent owners and to go on strike January l. Arthur Olsen, secretary of the union. declared 2.200 men will be affected.
 Coincident with the announcement that the harbor boatment would strike, committee of the Masters, Mates and Pilots union. claiming q membership of more than 2,50o, de- clared that its organization would join in the wallzout.
 The principal objection to the new working agreement offered to the men last Tuesday is a clause stipulating a 60-hour week. it was said. Both or ganizations take the stand that, il they agreed to this, the employers would be given an opportunity to eyade paying overtime rates. The marine engineers have accepted the 60-hour week.
 Leaders of both unions declared negotiations with the Independent Boat Owners and the Tow Boat Ex- change had been broken off and the strike committee had been author. ized to proceed with it's preparations for the struggle.
 officials of the harbor boatmen stated tonight that they were sasss fled to continue working on a 10-hour day basis with overtime paid at the rate of time and half but were un- aHerably opposed to the Tow Boat 1 Exchanges proposition which they l declared. virtually would deprive them l of overtime pay.

LYDIA ElsHER,s JIG

Few, perhaps, could place" Lydia Fishers jig. But if one hummed Yankee Doodle" there would be no mistake about 1t. Well, truth is that the tune of "Yankee Doodle" was just stoIel, from another tune that was well known in the days of Charles the Sec ond. And that tune was Lydia Fish er's jig" The identity of Lydia has not been discovered but the story of the stirring marching song of colonial times has been preserved. But vers- ions differ.
 When in 1755 Q regiment of Con necticut soldiers was organized and were dressed in motly uniforms. the English surgeon, Richard Shuckbury, Q wit and @ musician, wrote the words that have since become famous and adopted them to the tune of Lydia Fishers jig, apparently in derision of the makeup of the fighting Tanks. Yankee Doodle came to town, riding on a pony; he stuck a feather in his hat and called it maccaroni." And meccaroni was used to express con- tempt and meant dude"
 But the Yankee troops turned tho
 attempt at derision into their favor comrlimenting themselves on theIr luniuue appearance. Thomas Fitch, sor ] of the governor of Connecticut was 1 the original Yankee Doodle" and rode at the head of his troops. The English l officers soon found that clothes neither

Unucky Ladders

If was asked how it happens to be considered unlucxy to walk beneath upstanding ladder he might tell. And when he learns just how this superstition its origin it is likely he would smile. And the chances are just the same, that when he met ladder following that he'd give it a wide berth, strong is the superstition instilled
 Over in England in the early days people were hanged very successfully, but in primitive way. Usually chief attraction of these ceremon- ies had to walk under a ladder before reaching his place on galows. The ladder leaned against the structure for the convenience of the executoner As the victim passed under the ladder it fairly cer- tain that he to be hanged-gong to have piece of bad luck in fact And so, because of that early tradition, the person who passes under lad der is supposed to be a subject for bad luck
 Some folk think the reason 1t is premonition of i'll fortune walk under ladder is because of the chance one takes of workman standing it drop ping something him. But be seen, that isn't the idea

 WIEN EMERG' NCY
 TARIFF MEASURE REACHES SENATE
Two Roll Calls Required To Refer Measure To Finance Committee-Spirited De- bate Greets Bill

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s-Indica- tions of the fight ahead over tariff legislation were given in the senate today when several hours spirited de- bate and two roll calls were required to effect the formal. routine action or referring to the finance committee the emergency tariff bill passed last week by the house.
 Democratic forces split in the open ing clash, five minority members vot- ing with the solid Republican strength against a motion by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, asking that the house bill be referred to the commerce in- stead of the finance committee. Alter defeat of the Hitchcock motion and severe Democratic attacks on the bill, parried by Republican defense, the senate voted unanimously to send the bill to the finance committee.
 Senator McCumber of North Dakota, acting chairman of the finance com mittee. announced during the debate l that the bill would be taken up in committee early next month and given flair and adequate consideration, there were indications that the Re- publican decision against hearings would be revoked The house bill was denounced as an embargo" bill and suicidal" by Sen ator Hitchcock, who charged that sen 1 ate machinery was set to rush it l through. American commerce should be aided, he contended, and not ham 1 pered by tariff barriers.
 1 Senator MeCumber denied that the 1 bill proposed embargoes and was sup 1 ported by Senator Smoot. Republican 1 of Utah. The North Dakoto senator 1 declared the measure gave practically
 no protection to wheat and said that
 he would not support the bill as
 drafted
 Senator Harrison, Democrat of
 Mississippi. assailed the bill as ''the
 most iniquitous piece of legislation the country has ever seen.''
 The tariff measure was designed to enhance living costs, Senator Harri-
 son said adding that the bill was a
 sop to western farmers and would
 not aid them.
