URGE CONSTRUCTION
ARM0RY IN LEWISTON

Lewiston, Jan. Reconstruction of a
building that shall serve the two
purposes Of armory and auditorium is
being seriously considered by the
mayor and board of aldermen.
The problem of finding quarters for
the companies of the 103rd Infantry.
stationed in Lewiston; the necessity
of. reservipg City hall two evenings
q week for National Guard under
present conditions. and the definite
stand on Armory construction taken
by Governor Baxter. have combined
to bring a tremendous demand here
for a modern auditorium and armury
combined.
Armories under certain conditions
may be built with the State conrri-
buting one-half the cost of construc-
ton up to $4,000.
Formerly armories could be used
| for no other purpose. But the law
! was amended in 1921, permitting the
use of armories built under provisions
of the State aid law for such other
public gatherings as the municipal
| officers may authorize. This was not
generally known until the acutcness
of the armory problem here caused
those interested to inquire.
The principal reason why Lewis
ton doesn't get many of the larger
conventions. notably that OF the
Maine Teachers Association. is that
there isn't a sufficiently large hall
City hall was long ago outgrown foI
the larger state wide gatherings, and
the need of huge auditorium is very
great. The lack of one has, perhaps
kept Lewiston back more than any
other one thing. Portland and Ban
gor have large auditcriums. and in
that way they possess a very decided
Advantage over Lewiston and Auburn.
Members of the Board OF Mayor
and Aldermen aBe seriously consid-
ering what steps can be taken within
4 few weeks. The directors of the
Chamber of Commerce. at their last
meeting. authorized Captain Daniel
5. Dexter of Co. f.. to convey to tho
aldermen the information that tho
chamber approves and will support
constructive armory program.
I. Martin kerrigan, alderman from
ward announced several days ago
that he intended preparing an order
providing that the city build an ar
mory, thus taking advantage Of the
States $4,000.

DAMAGE AT JUNIOR
HIGH SCHOOL

One of the meanest and most mex
cusable acts of vandalism that has
been reported to The Post in long
time is that which took place last Sat-
urday night or Sunday when someone
forced entrance to the grade and junior
high school building, broke glass doors
and windows to the extent of $500 to
$4,000 in cost, and otherwise damaged
this fine building which is the pride of
our citizens.
There is but little clue to the perpe-
traitor of this despicable act, but the
school board has offered reward that
will lead to the conviction of the gull
ty parties. The Post considers it a
matter of regret that we are not sup
piled with trained bloodhound that
might have been put on the trail Of
the guilty party as soon as his dirty
work was discovered. Let us hope for
his apprehension and conviction.

MISS FLORENCE RICE MARRIED

Last Sunday afternon at two CLOCK
at the G. P. Rice home on Bennett
avenue, Miss Florence NJ. Rice became
the BRIDE of Chester W. Lewis of
Grand Junction. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. Edwin johnson
of the Episcopal church and was at
tended only by the immediate rela-
tives.
The house was prettily decorated in
flowers and ferns, and the bride wore
neat travelling suit of dark blue.
Mrs. Lewis is the eldest daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. C. P. Rice, and spent
the early part Of her life in Glenwood
Springs. For the past few years she
has been teaching school, but a year
ago discontinued that profession and
entered the Hoel-Ross business college
at Grand Junction where she later was
graduated. She has host of acquain
tances and friends in Glenwood who
extend best wishes and congratulations
to her.
Mr.. Lewis is son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Lewis of Grand Junction, and is very
popular with the young people of that
city. For number of years he has
been employed on the Denver & Rio
drande, where he now holds respon-
sible position.
The couple took an auto to New
Castle and there boarded No. 16 for
Denver to escape the congratulations
of their friends. They will spend their
honeymoon in Denver, salida and other
points, returning to Grand Junction to
make their home.

PLAN TO TIGHTEN UP
MMIGRATIoN LAW

Washington, June 2s.-Under a bill
designed to tighten up the immi migration
law, introduced by Chairman johnson
Of the house immigration committee,
admission for permanent residence in
this country would be granted only to
aliens eligible for citizenship, thus, it
was pointed out, shutting the gates to
Japanese, Chinese, Mongolians and 9th
ers not granted the right to citizen
ship who desire such residence.
The Johnson bill also would reduce,
on July /, 1922, the quota percentage
from each country from 3 to per cent,
based on 1910 census bureau figures.
In addition to the 2 per cent quota
each country, however, would be given
flat allowance Of 900, the maximum
total with this 900 being estimated at
$4,000.
The percentage reduction, according
to Mr.. johnson 3 estimates. would cut
the total quota admission from around
255,000 to 10000. Exemptions are not
included in these estimates.
Not more than 10 per cent Of any
country's quota wduld be admitted into
the United States in one month, which
would extend the number over a period
of ten months instead of five as at
present.
No attempt will be made to have the
house vote on the johnson proposal at
this session. 1t was offered at this
time, the chairman said, as the basis
of a permanent restrictive immigration
law and members Of the committee
said it would undergo many changes.

TIME TABLES FOR CANNING
MODIFIED FOR ATTITUDES

Time tables for canning are written
for sea level. In our high altitude
water boils at lower temperature
than 212 degrees. For this reason we
must process our canned products for a
longer time. The rule is to add 10 per
cent to the time for every 1000 feet
above sea level. If you were 1000
feet in altitude you would add 40 per
cent; if 5000 feet, SO per cent, or one
half; if 10000 feet, 100 per cent or
double the time. The following exam
pies will illustrate the point:
Asparagus, blanch, Is minutes; at
sea level, process hours; at 1000 feet,
process ~ hours; at 5000 feet, pro-
cess hours; at 1900 feet, process 3A
hours; at 10000 feet, process 4 hours.
Beans, blanch, 8 to 10 minutes; at
sea level, process hours; at 1000 feet,

he rushed to the kitchen and out to
the back porch, saying he was smoth-
ering. Mrs. Luxen followed quickly,
but before she could reach him he had
fallen to his face and was dead.
In 1909-10 Joe Luxen was a repre-
sentative from Garfield county in the
Sixteenth general assembly, serving in
that capacity while the late B. T. Ma
pier was serving us as senator. He
was faithful to his obligations to the
people, and those who knew him will
learn with regret of his sudden de-
mise. He is survived by Mrs. Luxen
and one son, Richard, who both reside
in Chula Vista.

PALISADE WOMAN DIES

Mrs. Laura Holbert of Palisade, who
underwent an operation for gall stones
at the Glenwood sanitarium last Fri
day, died Monday afternoon. Her hus-
band, j. R. Holbert, was with her at
the time of death and her three chill
dren were on their way to this city
when the end came.
A peculiar coincidence connected
with Mrs. Holbert s death was that
her sister passed away about three
weeks ago while on the operating table
for the same trouble.
Mortician Martin of Grand Junction
came for the body Monday night and
took it to Grand Junction where the
funeral will be held.

AS the pressure cooker is not affect
ed by altitude the time table need not
be changed when the pressure cooker
is used in canning. All vegetables ex-
cept tomatoes require 40 minutes when
processed in the pressure cooker, with
10 to Is pounds of steam. Tomatoes
require 10 minutes. Fruits and fruit
juices require minutes when using 10
to Is pounds of steam and 10 minutes
when using 5 to 10 pounds. Never cook
at higher than Is pounds steam if you
want a good quality Of product.

MEN FAVOR STRIKE
IF ALL PARTICIPATE

Detroit, June 26.-Early returns on
the strike vote taken by the United
Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way
employees and Railroad Shop Laborers
following the recent wage cut ordered
by the United States railroad labor
board indicate an Overwhelming ma
jorfty" in favor of walleout condi-
tional, however, upon a similar action
by other crafts affected by the board
reduction, it was announced here to-
night at the general headquarters of
the maintenance men.
Tabulation of the ballots started this
morning and it was said about 10000
had been checked. 1t was added the
vote was considered "fairly representa-.
tive"
Exact figures are withheld under in
structions from E. F. Cradle, grand
president, now in Chicago comforting
with the leaders Of other unions whose
membership has been affected by wage
cuts and who, it was said, would con-
slider taking some joint action in pro-
test.
Some Of the members, according to
officials, favor striking irrespective Of
the action taken by other unions, but
the greater percentage, it was empha-
sized, favor the strike only in event
other workers participate.

on June % at his home in Chula Vista,
California, death being Immediately
due to the rupture of an artery in the
throat, brought on by an attack Of
coughing just after he arose from his
bed in the morning.
Mr.. Luxen had been in failing health
for some time and had complained Of
the oppressive conditions and the
heaviness Of the atmosphere, due to
the heavy fogs, and had suffered con-
siderable from bronchial trouble. On

LIONS CLUB SPONSORS
L0CAl al: /, BUY SCOUT TROOP

This leaves very weak plant when
the others are taken away from it and
also leaves the growing part of the
plant or heart high in the air. Winds
and rain are also liable to injure the
plant.
The thinning distances should vary
according to the richness and the mois-
ture content of the soil. Soil that
dries out rapidly should have plants
farther apart than on soil that holds
moisture well. From twelve to sixteen
inches seem to be the most widely used
distances, but on some ground a closer
distance would be advisable.
Experiments are being made as to
thinning distances and records are be-
ing kept of the success of each. 1t
would be a good plan if every grower
would try a little experimentation on
the thinning distances and in this
manner he would learn just what dis
tances his own soil requires besides
gaining knowledge that would prove
beneficial to others.
Irrigation and Cultivation
Lettuce does not require an over.
supply of moisture, but the ground
should never dry out. 1t is advisable
to practice more cultivation and less
irrigation.
Sandy ground will require more irri-
cation than the heavier soils. The
ground should never be let to set and
bake after an irrigation, but should
be stirred thoroughly. This prevents
the ground from drying out too fast
and opens up the soil SO that sir can
get into the roots of the plants. Irri.
CATION tends to puddle the soil or to
bring the soil particles closer together
and this is detrimental to plant growth
Deep cultivation is not necessary all
the time, but when the plants are
young a good deep cultivation is all
right, but after the plants attain much
size it is best to just keep the top Of
the ground cultivated.

THE HEAD LETTUCE INDUSTRY

Some months ago The Post advised
that trial be given the head lettuce
industry in Garfield county, and our
farmers took kindly to the suggestion,
and a considerable acreage has been
planted in the Cattle creek and Mis-
souri, Heights sections, and very favor
able reports have been received at this
office as to the condition Of the crop
thus far. M 7T'HH
Upon the success of this year IS eff
fort will largely depend the success or
failure Of subsequent crops, if subse-
quent crops are to be planted.
Because of the Importance Of this
crop, and the necessity for caring for
it properly, if we would succeed, The
Post will from time to time give any
information available as to cultural
methods to be followed in the produc-
tion of this new crop. Therefore we
are pleased to publish the following
suggestions sent out by the field man
Of the Colorado Cooperative Lettuce
association at Buena Vista, and trust
that our growers may receive some ben
eft from the same:
Getting . Stand
Due to the winds and hot weather,
much of the later planted lettuce has
failed to germinate. This is due to in
sufficient moisture in the surface Of
the ground in which the seed lies.
There is probably plenty of moisture
underneath the surface of the ground
a few inches, but it is not enough to
start the seed to germdnate.
The best remedy for this is TO give
the ground thorough irrigation. Just
running the water across the field is
not sufficient, as it will not soak over
to where the seed is and if it does It
will probably start the seed to ger
minating and then the ground will dry
out and the tiny plant will die.
The best method is to soak the
ground thoroughly so that all the sur
face shows the signs of moisture.
On the experimental plot some Of the
seeds failed to come up and the ground
was irrigated thoroughly and the let
tuce is coming fine in every place ex-
cept where the ground was not wet to
the degree that there was no dry dirt
showing on top.
IF the ground is sandy it should be
kept wet until the lettuce is up, or the
seed will he killed due to being wet
and then drying out.
Cultivation
As soon as the lettuce is up, the
ground that has been irrigated should
be given light cultivation to keep
the ground from baking or drying ont
too fast; this will also kill the weeds
that the subsequent irrigation win
start.
One cultivation will he plenty until
the lettuce is ready to thin.
Thinning
The lettuce should be thinned when
It forms the fourth leaf. If the stand
Of lettuce is very thick II is very Is.
sential that the lettuce be thinned be-
fore II starts TO spindle or grow TAIL
