A distinct movement of feeder
calves, yearlings and fat hogs from
New Mexico to California points
has been noticed the past few
months. This movement will doubt
less be very much stimulated by
the establishment of the new Union
stockyard at Los Angeles.
Director G. l. Christie of Purdue
university. who was recently at the
New Mexico Agricultural college
making a survey of livestock con-
ditions in the southwest. for the
syndicate which is financing the
yard, is authority for the statement
that 1000 head of cattle are re-
quired every day to supply the
needs of Los Angeles alone. Part
of these cattle are suppliedSby local
packing plants already established.
the remainder coming as dressed
beef from eastern packing centers.
Finished logs are coming in great
ly increased numbers to Los Ange-
les from the New Mexico grain
sorghum belt; shipments of feeder
hogs have also been made from the
Mesilla valley; hence, the need of
a central market at this point.
Director Christie was favorably
impressed by the experimental
work in livestock production which
is being conducted by the forest
service on the Jornada range near
Las Cruces, and by the New Mex
leo Agricultural college. This will
be especially gratifying to New
/ Mexico stockmen since Mr.. Chris
ties position as director of expert
mental and extension work in one
of the best livestock states and his

tary of agriculture during the war,

Quanah being questioned, admitted that mem

condition OF affairs must no longer exist; that
the additional wives should be sent home to their
parents When next he appeared before the
committee the following CONVEX sation took place

The local executive committee of the American

trict Of the total fund Of $l4 100000 which the
tional organization expects to raise in the United
States for the relief of starving and stricken chill
ren, women and old men in Europe.
All too small will be the entire fund when it is
applied to the numberless places where oppression
and slaughter of the Jew have left in their wake

How to Provide For
Our Soldiers

To The Times:
If the people cannot stand further
taxation, and for one don't fall for any
such bunk-that's just politics-there is
at least one other way in which the
necessary appropriation for soldier
bonus can be raised and gathered in with
far less persuasive and ELUSIVE deluge
of talkee-talkee than that which flooded
the country in the effort to sell Liberty
and Victory bonds.
Let Congress make up its mind not
to be scared out of its boots by the criti-
cisms of the pharisaical "unco guides"
and devise a series of Government super
vised lotteries, giving away as premiums,
not only money prizes, but public lands
in various acreages, and by aiding in a
financial way the establishment and i'm
provement Of small homes.
Let every postmaster in the nation act
as an agent for the sale of tickets and
have about three distributions a year for
the next three years or so, and from my
observation of the sporting spirit that is
more or less developed in every red.
blooded American, very confidently
hazard the prediction that the lists will
be oversubscribed and proper provision
made for the boys who have had little
to encourage them for many moons and
are now awakening to the realization
that an ungrateful country is about to
cast them aside as it would an old shoe
and at the behest Of the moneyed inter
ests, who of all elements of our citizen
ship should appreciate the suffering and
sacrifice that these boys so freely bore
to preserve to them the inalienable bless
ings of life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness
Will Congress bslk at the suggestion
claim no merit OF novelty; it has been
tested out in many lands; rather do |
regard it as a matter Of expediency, be.

They VIII Pay
Or We Must
THE Debt Refunding bill, de-
signed to make Uncle Sam

THE Debt Refunding bill, de-
signed to make Uncle Sam
an easy creditor while inter
national bankers collect first, will
doubtless become law.
1t will be a bad law, for it
confers upon five men enormous
power without adequate review.
But if public opinion is watch
full and alert. it's influence can
still make itself felt as it did in
the drastic amendments adopted
limiting the commissions pow
ers. 1t is well to keep in mind
these words by Senator Borah:
Just in proportion as we
either forgive or postpone pay
ment of the principal or inter
est of what is owed to us, the
taxpayers of this country must
ultimately come in and make
good.
When the Refunding Commits
sion begins its work, it might be
a good idea for many millions Of
Americans to paste this truth on a
letter head and mail it to the
