R0MER0'S RELATIVES
ATTEMPTING TO FIND
BIRTH CERTIFICATE

Especial Correspondence to The Journal.
Las Vegas, n. M, May 2.-Rela
tlves of Manuel B. Romero, who
was killed in Chihuahua, Mexico,
in 1916, during one of the numer-
GUS revolutions, are making an eff
fort to find his birth certificate, to
be used in pressing a claim against
the Mexican government. The
young man was born forty-four
years ago, and was son of a prom
inent man who was then sheriff of
San Miguel county. County birth
records and other vital statistics
so back no further than 1907, how
ever. and no official record can be
found of Romero's birth. Thu
church records will be appealed to,
as was done in the case of many of
the boys who went to the army
during the world war. This case is
cited as one of the many reasons
for preserving vital statistics; Ro-
mero's Widows claim for damages
rests on her ability to prove his
birthplace, parentage, and age. AT
present the vital statistics are kept
by the county health department,
which Is creating sentiment
among the people that causes them
to make returns better than in for
mer years.

CONWAY SCORES
FOES OF STATE
SCHOOL SYSTEM

San Marcial. N. NJ. May DE
claring that the favorite pastime
Of a certain element in New Mexico
just now is attacking school in
terests and discrediting the public
schools in an effort to hoodwink
the taxpayers of the state into the
belief that their tax burdens are
due to high cost of education,
State Superintendent of Public In
struction John V. Conway. speak
ing before the Socorro county
teachers convention here last
week, emphasized the necessity of
thorough organization on the part
of she schools interests in order to
Offset these efforts and prevent the
throttling of the public schools.
He pointed out the fact. from
time to time. that 1t becomes more
and more apparent that the pur-
pose of this element is not only to
cripple, but to retard the educa-
tional progress of the state, not
alone by advocating the curtail-
ment of the public school term
from nine to seven months, but by
a
of the public schools for two years.
In this manner they propose to
bring about a relief from the So
called present tax burden. AS an
example of how far they go. a let
ter was read by the county school
superintendent, received from
Mr.. Cartilage. tax commissioner OF
the A. 7. e. S. r. railroad. in which
he stated that this corporation will
not pay certain school taxes In So
zorro county because they have
been advised by r. F. Asplund, sec
rotary of the Taxpayers associa-
ton, that this tax Is excessive. This
statement comes from Asplund.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
entire school levy for the county
is below 10 mills, while the full
maximum allowed by law is Is
mills
Every school district in the
county was represented in the con-
vention and a most interesting
program was rendered by the
teachers. The program was in
charge of f. L. Enloe. city school
superintendent of Socorro.
State School superintendent
Conway conferred with business
men and patrons of San Marcial
about proposed improvements in
the local school plant. The present
school facilities are inadequate, and
an effort will be made to bring
about the desired improvements.

but from a slightly different angle.
Mrs. Jiggs' extreme clothes are
not more disgusting on her than
such extreme modes are on silly
society members on whom they are
too often seen. The hurled vase
hut visualizes the selfish speech,
the angry retort, the general eat

scarcely exaggerate the disgusting

SHEEP INDUSTRY PROFITABLE

ture and Pays Well IL Herds
Are Handled Right.

In this country the sheep industry
has had frequent ups and downs, and
recently it has been very much de-
pressed, but it is an industry necessary
to well-balanced agriculture and
usually 1t pays fairly good returns
when fiocks are properly handled. Wool
is staple commodity and mutton Is
a regular part of our diet, though 1t is
much less used than beef or pork. Con-
ditions in many parts of the United
States are excellent for sheep raising
and there can be little doubt that with
in relatively short time the sheep will
be more profitable than during the past
year.
Present conditions of depression are
abnormal, just as the period Of un-
usual prosperity was abnormal. There
is a surplus Of wool on hand in the
country now, but 1t is being used up
faster than 1t is being replaced by pro-
duction on American farms. Even now
mutton and lamb are in sufficient de-
mand SO that, in connection with wool
sheep raising is a good business. In
the farming areas more attention is
paid to mutton making; the range
men have given more attention to wool,
but now depend more on the returns
for lamb and mutton than they have

PLAN TO MARKET LIVE STOCK
Study Of Costs and Methods Being

The United States Department Of
Agriculture is making study of the
costs and methods of marketing live
stock, beginning at country points. The
work is to be done mainly In number
of selected areas in important live
stock sections of the country. The plan
is to select areas, usually consisting of
several counties, and to study care
fully the costs and methods of as many
of the existing agencies in each area
as can furnish any satisfactory in
formation. The study will include
mainly country buyers, local shipping
associations, local elevators handling
live stock, and Independent shippers.
In several instances the work is being
done in cooperation with the states.
A number of men from the department
are now in the field collecting data on

Modern cultivated wheats from varl.

FUTURE OF ABARREN LANDS"
History May Repeat Itself and Tracts
Prove to Have Distinct Com
merciaI Value.

We are conquering the difficulties
of the North faster as time goes on.
1t was more than thousand years
from the time when the Romans
thought that no civilization could ex-
ist north of the Alps until the civiliza
tion north of the Alps was really on
a par with that of Italy. But it was
only century from the time when
Benjamin Franklin thought that the
little island of Guadeloupe was worth
more than all of Canada till the time
when second rate cities in Canada
had become more important than the
whole island OF Guadeloupe. 1t was
only few decades from the time
when even Stewards friends tacitly
admitted that Stewards Folly" was
the correct name for Alaska until the
Republicans began to point with
pride" to the purchase and to rank 1t
among the glorious achievements Of
the party. By analogy we may ex-
pect that it will require only decade
or two for the same progress in
knowledge and revolution in senti-
ment with regard to the northern
prairies that are still called Barren
Grounds and are still supposed to be
worthless.-Vilhjalmu Stefansson, in
