If DR.. Sarah M. Hobson has been
correctly quoted, she is surely an op-
timist and might possibly be regard
ed by some of her more conservative
brethren as rather visionary. The
man or woman who will confidently
state that the problem of sex-determi-
nation will be solved and will ulti-
mately be developed to state of
practical usefulness in arranging the
arrival of the babies is building on
hope and faith rather than on facts.
For years scientists have worked with
the most minute and the simplest or
ganisms available that possessed the
sex-character in an attempt to throw
some light on the problem. They
have as yet found no means of arti-
fcially determining the sex. In
his years of study and experiment.
tation at Columbia University with
the fruit fly, Drosophila, Professor
Morgan has contributed a great vol.
ume of fundamental facts to the sci.
ence of evolution and hcredity. HI
has even been able to determine the
exact unit in the nucleus of the germ
cell of that particular insect that car
ries the sex-character, but the prob
lem of determining the sex through
external influences is field il
which he has not presumed to d.
serious work. Even though some sci
enlist might discover that certain fac
tors are influential in determining Sc,
in the unicellular organisms, whic]
may produce several generations ii
,twenty-four hours, just think what
long step it would be to bring thes
results up the animal scale to mar
No, the evidence at hand would indi
cate that the baby boys and girls TO
countless generations will arrive i
the same discriminate manner a
they have in the past, and the >prou
parents will have the same warm we
come for both Mary and Johnnie.

has been made for state expenses be-
yond the mills required by the consti-
tuition. The rest Of the high taxes
was caused by the legislators who APP
propriated money for various projects
demanded by the constituents; by the
counties who appropriated funds vot-
ed by majority of the voters Of the
county; by the people in the township
and villages themselves, who voted i'm
provemcnts for roads, schools and
other public conveniences for which
a tax must be levied to pay
for them. Look at Jackson county's
increase in 20 years. From 100000
to nearly one million! Let's get down
to brass tacks and quit laying our
plight to the hired man and shoulder
the fault ourselves-Lakefeld Stan

Back to the Fundamentals.
The Minneapolis Journal discovers
that 60 subjects are presumed to be
taught in the public schools of that
city. That may be one trouble with
the education Of the present day-just
a smattering Of many subjects and a
sad lack of preparation in the funda-
mentals. The old rule of Reading,
'riting and 'rithmatic,'' may hike back
to far, but the fathers and mothers
knew these three foundation stones
very thoroughly, and many of them
built thereon a real education.-S

When you are counting your quar-
tiers and dimes, trying to set aside a
small amount to meet the grocer's bill
or pay the insurance already due, just
think Of Babe Ruth who is reported to
draw a salary Of $500 day, and do
not get disgruntled about it either.
While hundreds of good ball players
can occasionally knock home run,
it is only rarely that a player
can score Babe Ruth's high bat
ting average It surely does pay a
man to become an expert in his pro-
fession.

In glancing over the vote of the
house Of representatives on the fed
eral seed appropriation, it is surpris-
ing to see how many representatives
from agricultural states voted for the
measure. That congressional seed
appropriation is not popular in the
agricultural districts in this section OF
the state. Our farmers feel that the
$36O,000 could be spent to better ad.
vantage elsewhere, and our congress.
man, Thos. D. Schall voted against
it.

Anna Dickie Olesen is quoted as
saying she has found very few re-
publicans in travelling about in this
state. We wonder just what secluded
spots Anna Dickie had been visiting
when she made that statement, but
it must be remembered this excerpt
was from a pre-primary speech. 1t
would almost seem that the vote which
Frank B. Kellogg received would con-
vince Anna that the republican species
is hardly extinct.

REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.
MUST OBEY THE LAW.

-Four men in this vicinity were ar
rested Monday charged with unlaw-
fully selling liquor. All these men
pleaded guilty and were taken before
our district judge to receive sentence
for the crime that they had committed.
What is the sentiment of the COM
munity in regard to the arrest and con-
viction of these men? On every side
are heard expressions of approval and
in no instance does there seem to be
any bitter feeling against the often
ders. In fact these men who were ar
rested can number their friends in the
community in which they live by the
scores or by the hundreds. Those four
men are not considered undesirable
citizens, rather are they good citizens
who have very foolishly INDUCED in
an illicit practice
The constitution of the United
States declares that it is unlawful to
manufacture or sell Intoxicating
liquors within the boundaries of this
country. It further provides that
congress and the several states shall
have the power to enforce this article
by appropriate legislation. Congress
has enacted law, the Volstead act,
for that very purpose. The man who
INDUCES in the practice of what is
commonly termed moonshining or the
unlawful sale ;. of liquor is violat-
ing our federal constitution which
as loyal American citizen he should
uphold. He is breaking law which
was made to be observed and which the
people of the country should insist on
being obeyed as long as it is on the
statutes.
The real friends of those four men
who pleaded guilty to the charge
brought against them should rejoice
at their seeming misfortune. It will
actually prove a blessing if it causes
them to desist from their unlawful
practice in the persuit of which they
were doing a great injustice to them
selves and their families. In some
instances as in this particular case,
dealing in the liquor traffic causes a
fearful waste of good material. Men
who have ability to lead are needed by
their community, state and country as
loyal, law-abiding citizens.
Finally it must be remembered that
those four men who have been made
to pay the penalty Of their transgres-
sions are no more guilty than score
or more. of others in this vicinity who
are persuing the same practice but on
whom the hand of the law has not as
yet fallen. Neither are they morally
any more guilty than the men who
have been drinking the liquor illicitly
manufactured Moreover those who
drink moonshine are technically guilty
of violating the law just as is the man
who makes it, because it is declared
unlawful for any man to have in his
possession liquor illicitly manufac-
tured
fragrant violations of the Volstead
act are altogether too common in ev-
cry community, and it is high time the
authorities took steps to check the
moonshine business.

Lenine is reported to be dying. We
wonder if he can face death with the

Ohio Men Ply Mere
Than Market Prices
For Valley Cattle

Rio Grande County is At least
100000 better off than 1t would
have been il valley cattle had not
proved exceptionally good feeders
in the more eastern states. About
month ago. Scott O'Day. purchas-
ing agent of the Ohio Farm Bureau
federation, and Harry G. Beale,
Il easurer for the same organization
c. me to Monte Vista to purchase
valley cattle. Last year. an expert
ment had been carried on with these
c...tle and 1t was found they were
very profitable feeders.
These men, working In connec-
ton with the county agent. c. D.
Hyatt, bought about 5000 head of
cattle here. paying more than mar
ket price for them. II 10 estimated
that the difference between the Ohio
Farm Bureau price and the market
pf,ce on these cattle amounted to
at least $6,OOO.00.
The Ohio farm federation Is the
III It farm organization to take up
this kind OF work. The bureau has
about 100000 members who pay
annual dues of SIC. About so OF
ti.a sS counties are livestock CEN
ters. The county then is u unit and
each OF these has It's own Cooper
ative Livestock shippers Association,
under the direction OF the Ohio
Farm Bureau federation. Orders
for the cattle are taken by the coun-
ty association and sent to the state
deration, who in turn give the
orders to the purchasing agents.
The cattle are bought and billed
directly to the consignee In Ohio.
The Ohio folks want good beef
cattle. All cattle with dairy strains
are eliminated. Mr.. O'Day and Mr..
Beale left FRIDAY night for Waisen-
burg where they will buy about
1900 more head OF cattle before re-
turning home. They said before
they left that they expected that
the buckeye state would continue
buying its fee.ers out here direc,
from the cattle rsisers.

State Legislation Suggested
As Necessary to Safeguard
Water Rights Of This Valley

The committee which Governor
shoup appointed to Investigate In
terstate water matters involving
the state Of Colorado and make rec
concentrations to the legislature
met in Denver. Tuesday of last
week. George Corlstt represented
the San Luis valley legal committee
recently appointed to consider pend
ing matters relative to the Rio
Grande river.
A full report Of the Colorado
river compact was made and the
water conditions on the Rio Grande
discussed under the following
heads: lifting the embargo on the
rights Of way. would equitable
division give moro water las ap-
piled in the Kansas Colorado easel !;
proposed project in New Mexico;
proposal Of Director Davis: what
principle governs the river aside
from the compact: whether a COM
pact would be desirable and what
course to persue.
As the result Of the conference.
the committee will recommend to
the legislature an appropriation
sufficient to make . careful study
OF the Rio Grande river from the
headwaters to Ell Paso. A bill was
also recommended providing for the
appointment OF commission to con.
fer with New Mexico and the re-
clamation service relative to the
desirability Of . compact similar to
the one on the Colorado river with
an appropriation Of sufficient funds
Monte Vista journal and Monte Vista graphic-reporter., 1922-12-29

to carry 1t out.
A bill for the organization OF q
conseryancy district providing means
for the construction of reservoir
and consolidation Of the various
ditch and canal companies so the
cost of improvement may be assess
ed according to the benefits was
also recommended.
The legal committee. consisting
Of Hon. Jesse C. Wiley. John l..
Palmer, Albert L. Moses. w. w.
PIatt. Ralph c. Carr. and George
Corlett will meet in Aamlosa to-
night to make Recommendation TO
the people OF the valley. The stu
alton calls for action. 1t IL neces-
sary that the people of the valley
take hold Of the matter At once In
view Of the necessity OF immediate
state legislation and any bills intro
duced must be In during the first
fifteen days of the session.
Mr.. Corlett. in speaking Of the
matter. said THE people OF the
Arkansas spent 100000 on the
Kansas Colorado case alone in an
endeavor to protect their water
rights in Colorado and 1t is that
our people probably do not con-
slider thiss matter sincerely enough.
II is hoped that by prompt and ef-
ficient action we may escape any
unpleasantness with New Mexico.
The New Mexico people seem to be
very fair and inclined to settle the
matter ON an equitable basis"

NOTARIANS LISTEN TO TALKS
ON FORESTRY AND COAL

Two business talks featured the
Rotary club meeting this week
which was held at the La veta
Tuesday night.
X. +. Clark. supervisor OF the
no Grande forest. described the
work of the forest service together
with the purposes and objectives OF
that important governmental branch.
lac stated that the timber resources
of this country are being used up
five times faster than they are be-
ing produced and that the main OBJ
Jectise of the forest service is to
insure constant or sustained yield
OF timber on government lands.
This is done by a selected and re-
stricted cutting OF timber and re-.
forestation work or planting.
hir. Clark treated his subject as
business proposition and showed
that an inventory OF the resources
OF the national forest areas includ-
ed actual and indeterminate values
OF vast worth which were being
"sold" to the greatest possible
nuiaber OF customers" to their
benefit and welfare without lessen.
Ing the value or quantity Of the
original stock The speaker
stressed the recrcational resources
OF the forest and their value to the
thousands OF visitors who realized
the benefits OF the sane and yet
these were left for the enjoyment OF
other thousands for Indefinite time.
The Rio Grsnde forest embraces
more than = million aud 4 quarter
acres and to administer this area
with nine men IL some Job" Par.
ticularly Is the prevention and sup
preston OF fire = siresble under
taking but Mr.. Clark says the scrv-
Ice receives hearty cooperation in
this important matter from pco-
pie living within and adjacent to
the forest.
Ernest faus gave = talk on the
transfer and coal business. Tn.
great improvement In handling
transfer business by motor truck
instead OF teams was illustrated by
an instance In which Il required
two teams and wagons to move .
lot Of household goods from Monte
Vista TO La lara and the same
quantity Of stuff can now bc NOV.
cd to Pueblo with greater case Ia
the same length OF time.
Mr.. Faus stated that coal miners
are now receiving the same high
wages ~ Of 1889 and common
Mexican inborcrs are receiving
around $500 per day on the Aumps.
This fact together With shortage Of
cars is partly responsible for the
hirh price of coal. Another strike
u scheduled for April.
