new SCHOOL HOUSE
IS ON The WAY

1t is with much satisfac-
tion that we are able to an
nounce the sale of the schoo
bonds for this district, anc
that the board of education is
proceeding with commenda-
bic despatch to the erection
of a new school house.
Plans have been approved
for a brick building of Mis-
sion style, to have six rooms,
a library, principals office,
halls, toilets and lavatories.
Two of the rooms are to be
divided by folding doors so
that they can be thrown to-
gether to make an auditori-
um, with a stage at one end.
A site has been acquired
covering one block of ground
just north of the Christian
church.
The board will soon be
ready to call for bids for the
construction of the building.
While we are not officially
informed, it would seem prob
able that, on account of the
advanced season, it will be
necessary to defer the open
ing of school beyond the usu-
al time next fall, but that
little Inconvenience can be
easily borne, in order that we
may have ample school room.
We understand it to be the
plan to put the primary and
lower grades in this new
building, using the present
building for high school and
higher grades.
This new building will put
Estancia right at the top in
the matter of school facilities,
and with the fine reputation
for efficiency and thorough
organization already estab-
Iished, it may be expected
hat Estancia will benefit in
many other ways by reason of
having first class schools and
school facilities.

HOME CANNING
NECESSARY THIS YEAR

Home canning-of utmost
Importance during the war
will be just as important this
year, according to present in.
dications as they are viewed
by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture. The
shortage of labor on farms
makes it necessary for the
canneries to pay high prices
for the commodities that will
be canned later in the season.
Labor in the canning factories
is expensive and difficult to
obtain. Everything, from cans
to carriage costs, has been in
creased in price, and transpor-
tation is slow and more eX-
pensive than it was in war
times. All this increase must
be paid by the ultimate con.
sumer; and there is not even
assurance that there will be
enough canned products to &C
around. The solution is home
canning.
That sugar is higher in price
than it has been hitherto is
advanced by some as a rea-
son for canning either less
fruit or nothing but vegeta-
bles; but unless one intends
to give up sweets altogether
there seems no good reason
for not using canned fruit on
count of high-priced sugar.
There are few desserts that do
not take from one-half to one
cup of sugar, and no dessert
is more healthful than fruit.
1t is not necessary to use such
thick syrup as was used in
the days of plenty. A 10 perl
cent syrup made of l part
sugar and 8 parts water will
make palatable any Of the acid
fruits. Such fruits as apples,
pineapples, and the like can
be canned without sugar. In
fact, ordinary glucose or corn
syrup may be substituted for
sugar in making the syrup,
A palatable syrup is made by
p cup sugar, l cup
glucose and 8 cups of water. |
1t requires about 7 ounces
Of sugar for a pint jar. One
cup of sugar will make ten
cups Of syrup. A pound of |
sugar will make 20 cups. This
last amount will be sufficient |
for 20 pints of canned fruit.
Where the 10 per cent syrup
IS used the cost of the sugar
% can a pint jar is ~ cents
with sugar at 80 cents a
pound. 1t is not so expensive
after Enforcement Circu-
az.

WOLF HELD
To GRAND JURY

Santa Fe, June 26.-The
preliminary examination of
Luther Wolf, charged with the
murder of Homer Erwin near
Barton on the afternoon of
June 20, was held before
Justice Conklin yesterday af-
ternoon. Assistant Attorney
General N. D. Meyer ap-
peared for the state in the alb
sence of the district attorney
and the defendant was repre-
sented by j. j. Kenney. There
were three witnesses for the
prosecution and none were of
fered by the defendant. The
defense will be that Wolf
killed Erwin in self-defense.
The first witness was Deputy
Sheriff Grammer, who testi-
fled to the finding of the
body and the condition of the
same and the character of the
wound. Mr.. Sylvester of Bar
ton told Of seeing Erwin run
ming down the road after
hearing several shots fired i
and Of seeing Wolf following.
Wolf passed the body and |
then went to his house near
by and returned to the spot |
where Erwin was lying. Guest,
who was another witness, said
to Wolf. "That is a pretty
bad thing you've DONE" and
Wolf replied: eyes, but it had
to be done and it was up to
me to do it." Guest followed
Sylvester and testified to the
same thing. No further testi-
mony being offered. Justice
Conkling admitted the defend
ant to bail in the sum of
$4,000, after Assistant A.ttor-
ney General Meyer had asked
for $4,000 and Attorney Ken
ny pleaded for a small amount
as possible as the defendant
was not financially able to
put up a large amount.-Al-

.A NOTABLE
CONVERSION

The Estancia Chamber o
Commerce put over a goot
piece of work last week b,
first bringing conviction to tn,
mind of Mr.. Munoz, presiden
of the N. M. C. Railway Com
pany, and following up by
making him a convert and ;
"iiner' of the Enthusiastic
Order of Estancia Valley
Boosters.
Mr.. Munoz had not beer
over the farming portions Of
the valley since its settlement
until he was shown over q
portion of it last week. We
were somewhat surprised to
learn that before the settle
ment of the country he owned
a cattle ranch with headquar-
ters east of the Pedernals.
With this fact in mind it is
not difficult to understand
that he entertained the same
idea with regard to the coun-
try that all ranchers enter
tanned at that time, namely !;
that the country was fit for
nothing but grazing, and not
too much of that.
But, MI. Munoz, like a
good convert, has acknow-
ledged the error of his ways
and promised not to do so
any more.
He looked at the little ir-
rigation plant at work in the
northwest corner of town, and
Immediately recognized the
possibilities of irrigation here.
He saw the broad acres of
growing corn and oats and
wheat and beans in the coun-
try west of Estancia, the lit
tie orchards, the straw and
feed ricks and cribs full of
corn, the dairy cows, fat and
sleek, the porkers in the pens,
and now and then a snorting
tractor taking the place Of
horse power, all in the district
west of Estancia, and readily
consented in view of what he
saw, to believe that there was
plenty more of the same north
and south of the region in
spected.
And the interesting part Of
the conversion of Mr.. Munoz
is that he is now ready to
take hold and help us in any
practical scheme that may be
evolved for developing the
country.
He says that just at this
time it would not be possible
to finance any new enterprise,
but he thinks that by the
latter part of the year money
matters will ease up, and he
will be ready to get in and
help us with any scheme that
looks good to men with
