CAVALRY TROOP IS
TO Be ORGANIZED
James Baca. Adjutant General, Here

Of American Legion
BUSINESS MEN WILL. ALSO HELP
Chamber Of Commerce Pledge Support
And Uncle Sam VIII Pay
All the Bills

James Baca, adjutant general Of
New Mexico, arrived In the city this
morning for the purpose of organizing
n troop OF National Guard cavalry.
The general met some Of the ex-service
men of the city and In the afternoon
the directors OF the chamber OF COM
melce convened and, after listening to
his plans, passed resolution endors-
ing the enterprise and pledging the
support of the business interests of the
city. II was the intention OF the gen
eral to meet with the American Legion
post tonight, but wire from Governor
I.arrazola informed him OF the death
OF the governors son, Juan, at FL
Paso, and requested the general to meet
the governor at that point tonight
this evening.
At the meeting with the board OF
directors 90 the chamber of commerce,
General Baca stated that Governor
Larrazolo would commission Major
Clyde Earl Ely as captain OF the troop,
following the resignation OF the major
from the reserve corps Of the u. =.
Army. The selection OF lieutenants
viii be made later.
The state, according TO General
Baca. will furnish stables for the
mounts; the government viii furnish
mounts, horse equipment, arms, and
five caretakers at salaries OF $40 per
month each in addition to the army
pay Of % per cent Of the army base
pay. Troopers will receive % per cent
of base pay for attending drills.
II Is said that Deming will partici-
pate In federal expenditure here Of
one-fifth of 100000 In connection with
the buying of forage, pay and other
features At the present time the
state Is allotted only one squadron with
machine gun troop. Deming can
have the choice OF the machine gun
troop, II desired, a matter that will
probably be settled at meeting Of the
local post Of the American Legion to-
night.
The troop viii take charge OF the
armOry and all its equipment, estab-
fishing their station there. General
Baca says that Deming has the finest
armory and equipment In New Mexico
and In addition about $1,000 In its
nrmory fund. The present armory
board will be reorganized and will
take over the property from the pres.
ent armory board, which is short sew
eral members.
With its armory, its trained service
men, and liberal federal and state
patronage, the present organization
should have no trouble in establishing
itself. A minimum OF 40 men and
three officers is required. A machine
gun troop would require four officers

FL Paso VS.. Deming Alumnae


On Saturday night the alumnae
team played III PasO
IL seemed as though the alumnae
bunch" could not get to shooting at
all. Cooper, who is usually one Of the
heavy scorers, did not seem able TO
find the basket. While on the other
hand the FL Paso organization seemed
to be getting in shots from all angles.
The III Paso team used fine teamwork
and il seemed that the alumnae team
was unable to break II up.
The score at the end of the game was
II to 0 in favor of III Paso The fol
lowing are the line-ups:

Elections became wholesale when
the strike was called In July. Women

miners claimed 1000 men out and
monthly production reduced from
100000 70 $50 600 tors. The operators
Baid, however. the maximum number
of strikers out was $500, and now
there are 900 men working in 30
mines. only 200 Of whom were
brought In from the outside.
According to the miners. 200 men
are still out.
Officials Of the miners orRaniza-

operators showed Partially made $50

The Cause of High Prices is not some
mysterious, complex thing, but Is perfectly
simple.
In buying and selling there are two ele-
mcnts: First, the number of things there
are TO sell and, second. the amount OF
money there is TO pay for them
II there are plenty Of things and little
money, things naturally will be cheap. If
there are few things and much money,
things will be dear.
This il a natural law. Neither statutes
nor regulations Of government can affect
il to any great extent
In the United Stated and all over the
world. we have been doing two things:
/. We have been red,oing the number
of things for sale. This we have been doing
by vast program of destruction. Huge
armies have been dcsolating farms, burning
villages. battering down factories and flood
ing mines. They have also been taking
the steel and other materials needed in
building homes or making ware, putting
them into cannon, shell, gunboats, ana the
like, and blowing them up.
Which is precisely the same as IL you
took the contents OF your grocery and fac
tory and the products of your farm out into
the back yard and made bonfire of them.
Besides this We have. in the war. with
drawn millions Of productive workers from
the business Of baking. saving, digging.
and other creative work in which they were
constructing desirable goods, and set them
TO numbering, robbing, stealing, burning.
and loafing.
And the process of reducing production
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1920-04-24
On the ISSUE of
.Tmericanism There Can
Be NO Compromise

did not cease when war ceased. The lust
TO fight and grab does not quickly die out.
The laborers entered upon glorious cam
paign of Strikes. Whether Strikes be good
or bad is not here under discussion Tha
point Is, they stop production Of goods.
Roger w. Babson estimates that Strikes
in the two months Of last August and Sep
TENDER meant 11,792,000 days of idlenesa
And a Strike spreads its destructive in
fluence. The Strikers cease TO produce:
thousands Of other workers are forced to
produce less; other thousands, engaged in
selling goods. are made idle; transportation
falls off; all these persons, getting less
wages, affect the storekeepers, wholesale
and retail and the whole vicious circle even
tuates in loss of energy and efficiency.
2. Besides this falling off in the amount
Of goods. there has been an increase in
money. Every nation has floated huge loanSs
Credit has been extended. Initiation has in
creased.
Hence, TO reduce High Prices, two simple
things must be done: % Produce moro
goods, and (2) quit expanding the amount
Of money and securities. Mr.. Paul Warbur1
stated the case clearly:
IF governments adopt a rigid policy Of
preventing the further issue of government
securities and money 10 cover current de-
ficiencies, they will take the first and most
effective Step in combating the decrease Of
production, the rise of prices and the fall
OF exchanges. If they will not or cannot
adopt such course they are headed for in
solvency and social and economic disrup-
tion."

Bestowing Brains

Two hundred John Locke said that God did not
make twoegged creature and leave to the logcian
Aristotle to make him rational Yet friendly critics Of the
public schools continually complain that they do not teach
their pupils to thnto be alert and to deal successfully
with all kinds of situations
The charge but absurd For all the schooling In
the world create brains in creature born without
them add single to what is already there,
than training improve stunted breed OF cattle
II 1t could intelligence would not in families, and there
would be serious problem or the feeble-mnded.
The function of school is not to teach pupils to think
but to give them something worth thinking about II is
not make them alert and enerprising but to that
the aertnes and enterprise which they already have
es them into decent place In society and not into
the gutter.

successfully. That is matter of brains and luck But It
train its pupils beforehand in the doing of things
that life is likely to demand Of them; so that when the
time for action they viii founder less than they
otherwise would have.
To its brighter pupils the school teach general princi
pies which give meaning to the routine Of later work.
1t can help them all to find their level far, far
easily than they could without it.
