Lumber manufacturer, lumber dealers material men and

We are going through 4 period when competition is keen and
profits much smaller. The former period required neither effort

THE PRICE OF MILK

N EPLYING 20 consumer demands for reductions in the price Of
n retrl milk, local diarymen have published q series of advertise
~ menis IN The Herald in which they hay" placed their side Of the
matter before the consumers.
We have read these statements with care and have talked with
the milk producers about the various elements that make up their
production costs We are inclined 10 believe that with one excep
fnn the dairymens statement of their situation has been a fair
statement. This one exception Is the necessity for charging a price
for milk al retail which will permit the milk producers TO earn the
cost 20 them Of reserve stocks Of alfalfa bought at the peak OF al
faia prices last year. -
expect him to cut his retail prices TO meet the current market prices,
even IL he must take a loss in doing so-and without regard 10 that
loss. For him il would be unfortunate, but it would be more I'M
fortunate for him IL he failed to do SO; because he would be left
with the high priced goods on his hands
In other respects we believe the statement made by the dairy
men has been a fair statement Of their costs OF doing business
II is our impression that these are the main facts about the
milk price situations
Mix here, at 20 cents the quart, is higher than almost anywhere
else in the country.
There may BE- peculiar local conditions which cause this price,
but the consumers are justified in their belief that II rs too high.
II dairymen arr making unfair profits they have been most
adtrot and most successful in eoneealing the fact, because there Is
nothing TO indicate that any of them are growing rich, or are max
ing more than . living margin Of profit.
II there are unfair charges or peculiar conditions which make
milk production costs exceptionally high here, one or the other
will be revealed in course Of the kind Of thorough, businesshke
investigation which the dairymen themselves have frankly invited
In their published statements.
For the benefit Of the milk consumers the Chamber OF Com
mcrce. the Rotary, Kiwanis and Womans clubs should Immediately
name Representatives 70 join in the investigation che dairymen have
proposed. Such an inquiry and It's result will insure a fair deal

THE SEARCH FOR OIL

THE furry Of excitement over oil development which swept New
Mexico o year ago, has passed. Financial conditions have slowed
= down, drilling operations and speculative activities have showed
selling variety have subsidized, having run out OF fuel
Drilling operations that re now progressing arc backed by
substantial interests and by individuals who are not interested in
selling leases, or in any form Of speculation other than that of the
courageous explorer, known In mining as the prospec,or, and in the
world Of exploration, as the "wildrattcr." In the language OF oil,
all New Mexico is wildcat territory.
The rigs erected for stock selling purposes and to help the sale
Of leases are idle OF have been removed. Those that are now running,
and the half dozen rigs that have been set up in various sections
Of the state during tho past week, are being operated by men and
interests whose sole objective is to find oil.
During the past two weeks strong flows of gas have been en-
counterrd in three wells, in widely separated districts. Better indi-
cations Of oil have been found during this period than ever before.
The shouting and the tunult over oil has largely subsidized. II
would not be surprising II out Of the succeeding serious effort the
long search for oil in New Mexico should be rewarded, and in the
not far distant future.
The surplus air is pretty well out of speculative enterprises
here u elsewhere in the nation. New Mexico ia in excellent physi-
cal and mental condition TO experience a boom, to receive and digest
without distress a genuine boom

a circle. They are a resurrection of a craze that swept the country
a half century ago.
Joe Milers joke book had nothing on the etiquet guides Of by.
gone days. In them You could find everything from "how 20 set
the table for a sx-fork dinner" 10 "modcl for a letter from a young
man at preparatory school requesting funds from his father" MY

Never remove false teeth at the table without holding a napkin
over the mouth, was one II the printed ru'es.
II further appears, ON pursuing the old volumes in the attic, that
il was bad form for a gentleman 10 pick his teeth with a quill when
riding in a hack. 1t was the height of impoitcness for young folks
in the twentics 10 lead the conversation when old folks were present.
To be in good form, ones calling cards must be penncd with great
aourishes that looked like an Xray picture of the bones of a black
bass.
PoGteness is most neutrality-suspicious. in adjuring us not
to eat pie with a sharp knife.
But let's hope the etiquet-book craze won't whip rs back 10 the
Istited days Of hoopskirts and sidewhiskcrs when the code demand
