DISARMAMENT

With the cutting down Of the regular
army to 10000 men the country has
almost achieved disarmament. With
the adoption of the Borah naval holi
day resolution the ak has been laid
at the roots OF the flourishing naval
establishment. With the concurrence
Of England, France and Japan real
progress can now be made toward nc.
tual limitation Of expenditure for war
preparation.
While this Limitation Is Necessary
and commendable IL will revive the
hope Of the foolish pacifists who will
argue that II the armament tan be
pruned IL can be Topped off altogether.
While this line Of logic might seem
reasonable at first, all human expe-
rience reminds us that there is a fu-
tue conflict 10 face and that when II
comes the good old US. A. should have
nt least an even break with the militia
ry powers III this advantage can he
secured through the national guard
and the naval militia, well and good,
but any saving OF money at the ex-
pense Of preparedness for war is
grave and costly mistake: Il means
no real saving in money aud II jeop-
nrdizes the very life OF democracy in
the world.

summer by the Housekeepers' club OF
Atrisco after a year Of planning and
hard work and upon which the last
payments have just been made. The
cannery Is absolutely modern and Is
large enough to accommodate the needs
Of the entire community at present.
The announcement that the cannery
was free from debt was made at q
meeting held Thursday with Mrs. w,
c. Bletcher Of Ranches de Atrisco.
Funds for the enterprise were raised

ing. The labor Of building the can.

PRUNING SWEET POTATO
VINES REDUCES YIELD

IL has not been found profitable to
prune or cut back sweet potato vines
according 10 experiments conducted
by the New Mexico Experiment sta
ton. In n two year experiment, II
was found that the smallest yields
were obtained from the plants that
were most severely prmed The plants
which were unpruned produced about
three times as much asythe plants that
were pruned back TO II inches In diam
eter and one-third more than the
plants that were pruned back TO 80
inches.
The pruning or cutting back Of sweet
potato vines is tedious and expensive
operation, and these results would in
dicate II to be Injurious TO the plants.
The leaves OF the plant are very nee
essary organs as they serve to manu-.
facture the crude plant food which
comes up from the roots before II can
be utilized by the rest OF the plant.

CALL FIRST TRIAL IN LIQUOR CASES
CAL BAKER IS DEFENDANT
Circuit Court Work on Docket Gre ated by Last Grand Jury-Other
 Cases to Follow.

Cal Baker of Mt Vernon, under in- dictment for the alleged manufac- ture of whiskey, was the first of de- fendants named under recent indict- ments to be placed on trial. Baker waived formal arraignment and en- tered a plea of not guilty His trial was called when circuit court resum- ed this morning, and the following jury selected: o. s. Russ, N. C. Crow, w. D. Ethridge, A F. Milan, R. w. Ford, C. W. Jones, w. E. McClain, s. H. Russell, S. B. McCollum, J. A. Mode, G. C. Phillips and J. J. Ball.
 Six witnesses were examined in the court of the trial, evidence in which was completed at noon. Baker was the last on the stand He answered questions in regard to several epi- sodes in which several people are al- legged to have been intoxicated. At torney l. M. Campbell failed to net tie him, however, by asking if Baker was the person at whom a revenue agent fired If he did, nobody knows about it, Baker said. In- structions to the jury and arguments were to be heard this afternoon. To complete the jury, it was necessary tc summon 15 new talesmen, the regu- lar panel having been exhausted be- for the required 12 were selected.
 Other defendants named on the whiskey indictments will be called for trial, Judge George w. Clark said. Summons have been issued for all witnesses named ky the state and de- fense, and they are expected to be present when the cases are called. A special venire of talesmen may be re- quired for trial of the case against B. c. Thomasson and Roy Evans, which will be called in the court on Friday, according 10 the present court docket.
 The jury in the Cal Baker case this afternoon shortly after ? o'clock re- turned verdict of not guilty.
 Glenn Stephens, alleged accomplice of Martin Haskins in the robbery of three countrymen here on October 24, 1919, was arraigne1 in court this af- ternoon and entered plea of guilty. Judge Clark deferred further action on the case until the outcome of Has, kins' appeal to the supreme court filed after he had been found guilty and sentenced to three years imprison- ment, under a verdict reached in cir cult court.

SAYS PACIFIC COAST
 OVERRUN WITH LABOR

Conditions as to employment on the Pacific coast are worse than any oth- CT section of the country, according to Fred Wright, former engineer of the municipal light, who has re- turned from years stay in Califor- mia and will visit his father, J. s. l.. Wright, here. Wages were high and work plentiful in California, he says, until the industrial depression in the east and north set in. Then work men flocked to the Pacific coast by the thousands and there was soon big surplus of labor. Wages have been reduced in California by nearly half, MT. Wright said. Men are of fering to work on ranches, vineyards and orchards for their board in order to exist until conditions improve and they can find profitable employment, he said.
