EL PASO POULTRY SHOW MERITS A
VISIT FROM ALL SOUTHWESTERNERS
ONE THING that distrognsbes the typical American
farmer of today from the finntri of European countries
11 the American habit of raising too few thiags and saviac
food products for the farm table in cana and boxea from
elsewhere after aereral profits have been taken. It is noth-
ing at all annaaal for American fanneri to bny dressed
poultry and nit meats and fresh meats jeffies and pre-
serves potatoes and onions even canned tomatoes. Canned
tomatoes from Maryland have been seen in the coon try
stores of the Ko Grande valley; canned era from Hew
York likewise and canned or evaporated fruit from Cali-
fornia. Some American farmers even bny bakers' bread
and crackers.
Small farmers in Europe (and all are small farmers
compared with American standards) raise a great diversity
of prodncfs. They not only diversify their field crops bat
they always have carefully cultivated gardens is which they
raise all their own vegetables and a anrplus to barter or
sell; thev raise their own farm work stock their dairy
cattle hogs and poultry as a matter of course. The idea
of their buying canned and packed meata and fruits and
vegetables would appear perfectly grotesque to them.
American farmers (unlike the pioneers) often sell their
milk to the creamery and boy condensed milk for their
tables; they have largely lest the arts of tatter and cheese
making common to an European farmers and they seldom
prepare their awn meata for their own winter nse. Nor do
they preserve fruits and vegetables as the Europeans do.
All these Uriags have a bearing not only on the prosperity
of the farm itself but on the economic welfare of the entire
community.
For example El Paso sends $1500100 yearly long dis-
tances from home for poultry and poultry products when
this entire region ia perfectly adapted to the raising of all
sorts of fowls for food purposes and to the producing of
eggs. Far from sending $150CMXX) a year out of the south-
west never to return we ought to be raising an we consume
and making a large surplus for export. We ought to be
sending poultry and eggs north and east and west and we
ought to be developing the Mexican market which is bound
to become an important one in these products both for food
use and for breeding purposes.
This week a remarkable exposition ia being held in El
Paso that is of interest not only to poultry raisers and
tanciers but to the general public It ia to be hoped that
the attendance win be large not only for the entertainment
2nd profit that visitors win get from the exposition but
ror the broad educational and informational effect of sach
a striking showing.
In El Paso there are prixe birds and the best representa-
tive breeding fowls from half a doses states; exhibits have
been sent here from Louisiana and California as weU as
from the nearer southwest. The showing is a revelation
and ought to interest not only dealers and fanciers but aU
who have intelligence to see the importance of this sort
of thing to El Paso and the Rio Grande valley of the
future business men and housewives bankers and thrifty
boys and girls. And especially would it seem as if the
tanners of New Mexico Arizona Texas and. Mexico engirt
to be interested enough to visit this remarkable .show and
take advantage of some of the profitable lessons it teaches
to any one who will simply look and consider.
That 31.500000 a year kept at home would do seme
notable things for us. It would serve the community over
and over; deposited in the banks it would become the basis
ot new credit and would accomplish projects several times
its value every year. Sent away as now it never comes
back and constitutes a continual drain equivalent to 10
percent interest on SHjOOOfiOO this helps one to compre-
hend the principal value of the industry as it might be and
the extent of the loss we voluntarily impose on oarselves.
Such carelessness does net measure up to El Paso's tradi-
tional intelligence and forethought.
Great credit is due those who hare arranged this shew
aud have collected the exhibits and are the un
dertaking. The local poultry tanciers do -not sake mack
stir in the atmosphere but they are mighty earnest and
they have succeeded in accomplishing much as their ex-
hibits show.
The question of marketing must adjust itself. It is an
old story with all farm products. Poultry men complain
that they cannot sen their prodacts to advantage locally.
Of course the local dealers are going to tray where they can
be assured of constant regular satisfactory sappty and
stable prices. The local industry win grow until it is able
to compete with outside sources. Bat it has a. right to
demand reasonable cooperation from the local dealers since
it is to mutual advantage.
Mexican Labor.
J
TF AMERICAN employers have rais treated Mexican laborers
1 brought into this country under contract our own govern-
ment should be the first to try to stop the practice. If
charges made by the consul general of the Mexican govern-
ment in El Paso be correct and if virtual peonage exists in
Texas and elsewhere along the border every fact he has in
his possession should be laid before the American state
department.
Ta have Mexican labor shut off entirely from the south-
west particularly from Texas where Mexican labor is de-
pended on so largely for cotton picking and the harvesting
of other craps would be unfortunate. It would be especially
so if a few employers are to blame for it-
It is inconceivable that any considerable number of
Texas employers could have been guilty of robbery mis-
treatment and virtual peonage. - .
The logical thing the sensible thing for the United States
and Mexicoto do is to reach a basis of agreement. We seed
her laborers and her laborers need oar work. They saoaal
be paid what they earn and they should be treated property
by their own employment agents as well as by oar em-
ployers. When their contracts are completed' titey should
be allowed to go back home.
El Paso would be lost without its regular Saturday night
shooting.

GRADUALLY the advantages' of the southwest are becora-
iagjnore widely knows. The Santa Fe railroad has re-
ceived 26V000 inquiries since March 1 1920 about oppor-
tunities f er horaemaking farming and business in Arisosa
New Mexico and southern California. Most of these in-
quiries have corse from the far north the far east; and
from Canada
It is so colder in the aorth and east than ever bat the
scarcity and coat of fuel are coming to be greater problems
every year. Illness seems to be os the increase is the bad
climate countries. Housing is more and more of a problem.
The result is that people are beginning to look to the
southwest.
The low countries of Georgia Alabama Louisiana Mis-
sissippi east Texas and Arkansas though milder in the
winter have many disadvantages which the higher dryer
regions of the southwest do set have. With irrigation
making crops as certain and as profitable as they are in
Iowa winning a livelihood is set difficult out here.
To the inquiries it has received the Santa Fe railroad is
sending details concerning the states of Texas Oklahoma
Kansas Colorado New Mexico Arizona and California. Of
course the railroad makes mosey out of t" asd at the
same time it is rendering ss all a service and deserves
credit. It runs through the very heart of the southwest and
has bees one of the main agencies is bufldiirg sp this part
of the country.
- The more horaeseekers the railroads bring the more
valuable land win become. The more business will increase.
There wfll be more money a better semi life and a better
country in every way. 1

CTOBER 29 at 3:30 f. m. air bat
tle right overhead; several bombs
are dropped by the Germans and
16 of our planes take after them.
Three bombs are dropped near one of
our field hospitals and clods and rocks
strike my tent. One of these bombs
makes bole 18 feet in diameter and
more than 9 feet deep. Two of our
planes are shot down by enemv and
our aviators killed.
Shelling aad air activity resumed at
7 p. m. We have an alighting field
near us now and all night long we hear
these great birds every ten or 15 min-
utes rise sad soar.
29 October 1918 Our planes cer- '
Clear nights always imite trouble.
Bright and dear today comparath ely
quiet. Xews arrives of Austria's sub-
nsisaion and request for separate peace
and Hiadenberga resignation not yet
accepted.
Heavy frost last night. Men are al-
ready beginning to imagine what it is
going to be like in winter stormy
nights with no lights no fires no
smoking in trenches or outside of per-
fect cover; and the allied armies hate
already been through four winters
no wonder they are war-weary.
The truck drivers and ambulance
drivers and their splendid work under
fearful conditions. Tbe defensive
works around Verdun and correspond-
ing strong-points elsewhere. Enor-
mous expenditure of human effort in
the aggregate this war and what it
would mean if applied to constructive
work.
SO October 1918 Cold clear starry
night; doors and windows rattle and
old house shakes with heavv gnas fir-
ing frequently aad regularly. Usual
air visits. On trip forward again im-
pressed with sustained intensity of
struggle. All our. troops generally ex-
posea to degree hitherto unheard of in
this war. No time to improvise shel-
ters. Xo security anywhere. Physi-
cally impossible to keep up the fight-
ing and dig in as the books call for.
Oar artillery superiority snd the law
of chances sene us well.
31 October 1918 Perfectly clear
bright beautiful day and night; heay
frost. Some firing all day but we
await tne opening of the great at-
tack early tomorrow morning. Heavy
guns all along our front '"20 meters
apart and three deep"; all calibers up
to heaviest naval guns.
This movement now imminent is said
to be most formidable attack of entire
war and hurled against deeply massed
enemy in sectors that have been most
desperately contested. Everything in
readiness here. Our division is thanked
in orders for splendid performance.
There is a remarkabl uniformity
among all men snd officers in actually
facing danger. Great need was and is
trained leaders disciplined and
strongly imbued with the spirit of the
task. 'Lack of knowledge of tech-
nic and failure to establish train
of authority common.
I wonder what the infantry in the
parallel of departure is thinking of
right now; 40 to 60 percent of the firs
assault formation are sure to become
casualties a few hours from now. Con-
sider the attitude of different officers
and men going under fire; one learns
to suspect and discount every one who
jokes about it or "kids" others; I
would not trust these men it is easy
to tell the real from the false. There
is one tvne that anneals to be abso
lutely oblivious to the explosions and
the living metal; another that grimly
faces it with a little interior smile of
cynicism an acceptance of fate ; either ;
type is sate as officer or soldier but
the one that "joshes'' others With
forced gayety is to be suspected a
kind of nvsterics. The soldiers have
an infallible instinct and thev curl the
lip to hear some officers and men
talk.
Last night enemy bombers came
again: machine guns in planes and
anti-air craft guns sctii e. Mny bombs
dropped but not very near our tents;
shook the earth.
There is some direction and limit to
shell fire but none to air bombs. If
you knew the enemy airman's target
yon could infallibly avoid being hit
imply by going over and Bitting on
the target for chances are against his
hitting his target but he will hit some-
thing. No use running when the airmen are
oer you; nowhere to go; erratic flight
of bombs sigxag etc. Particles thrown
two or three ritj' blocks terrific blast
cutting fragments of jagged steel
gasses etc. Only thing to do is lie
in bed or remain at task and trust the
law of chances. Little real danger out
here in the open but in cities the de-
struction is awful.
Typical night scenes. An air raid.
First far-off flashes of anti-aircraft
shells not heard too far away. Nearer
guns fire. Approaching hum of motors
unseen; the German bombing planes
all have characteristic rhythmic burr
hum or buzz unmistakable and differ-
ent from any of our planes; insistent
and annoying like the one mosquito in-
side the mosquito bar on a hot sticky
summer night ; you hear tbe humming
of the planes a long way off a little
louder a little fainter " changing air
currents seem to muffle them then
you bear them unexpectedly near. The
searchlights open Up and sweep tbe
sky. The planes discharge their
machine runs sometimes as signals to
each other and to their own lines
sometimes to harass something or
somebody on the ground that attracts
their attention. Shrapnel and high
explosive shells burst all around them
from anti-six craft guns on the ground
and shell fragments flv and drop pro-
miscuously to earth. The enemy planes
are near overhead. Now the bombs drop
terrific smash-be rig-bang-crash sounds
ss if everything in miles must be de-
stroyed vet surprisingly little damage
wrought." Sometimes onr'planes chase
and fight. On a clear night this se-
quence likely to be repeated several
times always around 9 or 10 often af-
ter 12. and the Germans seem particu-
larly to relih these nigbt v isits in the
eerie hours around 2:30 a. m.

Bedtime Stories For The Little Ones I
TTHCIE fclGGILY AND THE WASHW6 MACHINE. I
By HOWARD K. SARIS.
"T THINK. I will get Hurse Jane one
1 of those: or else taake her one."
said Uncle WIggUy. as he was hop-
ping along down town near the five
aad ten cent store In Woodland at
the foot of the Orange Ice mountains
one day.
"One of what? What are you going
to get Nurse Jane?" asked Grand-
father Goosey Gander who was wad-
dling along beside Uncle Wlggily.
JL wash! be machine." answered the
bunny rabbit gentleman. "See. Grand-
pa Goosey the waahing machine is
like a barrel. Ton pat tbe dirty clothes
in with some soap and water and
then you turn a handle which makes
the barrel flop upside down and do
somersaults and peppersaulta. Then
when yon take the clothes out they
are clean."
"Tea It seems much better than do-
lne them rubblty-dub-scrubbity-bub
on a washing board." said the Goosey
I'nele WlsreMy let him out.
Gander gentleman as he and Uncle
Wlggily looked in tbe store window
where a little mouse lady was work-
ing away at a sampla washing ma-
chine. "I ll get Nurse lane one of those for
her birthday." said Uncle Wlggily. "Or.
else ril make one. They look easy.
411 1 need is a barrel and I have that
and an old crank to turn It. Nurse
Jane has plenty of -oap and water
and there are always clothes In aur
hollow stump bungalow that need
washing ril make a washing ma-
chine" "And tell me how it works!'
quacked Grandpa Gooa-y.
Uncle Wlggily promised that he
would. The next day The bunny gen-
tleman was very busy down in the
cellar hammering and aawlng away
nailing boards together and turning
barrel upside down.
"What are you doing?" cried Nurse
Jane who waa baking pies and pick-
ing up the soiled clothes to wash next
day. "Are you making ice cream
WIggyr
"You might call It that." said the
bunny as he twinkled his pink nose.
But you wouldn't be anywhere near
right. Nurse Jane." he whispered to
paw with the hammer and ha had to
put It in his mouth I mean he put
bis paw In his mouth not the ham
mer. Anyhow. Uncle Wiggtly couldn't
speak for a few minutes. But when
nis paw stopped hurting he went on
building tha waahing machine which
was 'to be a surprise for Nurse Jane.
At last tha bunny gentleman had
the barrel in place so It would turn
when ha twisted the crank. One end
of the barrel could be lifted out and
then put back again.

So Uncle Wlggily .kipped upstairs
and brought down some soiled clothes
also some soap soap powder borax
soda waahing fluid biasing am-
monia and whatever ese goes into the
wash. The bunny put soma water and
all of these things in the barrel aad
he waa Just going to put la the dirty
clothes when ail of a sodden a voice
at the outside cellar door cried:
"Ah. ha! Now rve caught you!" and
there stood the Woozie Wolf. He
reached out hla paws to catch hold of
Uncle Wlggily. but the bunny step-
ping back bravely cried.
"Oh. my! Tou wouldn't nibble me.
or do anything with such a dirty face
would you?"
"What! Is my face dirty?" asked
the surprised Wolf.
"Ia it? "Well you just ought to loo!

Wolf. "I must have got It black look-

Impressed upon the minds of a good

hla camera is not taking pictures as

"If the eastern cities had the push
of El Paso there vojld be no limit
to their development ' said R. A.
Nash bnlldins enaineer of Newport
R. L "Of course El Paso Is practically
new which accounts ror some or tne
magnificent oublic buildings. I find
that there Is a .-eat shortage of
houses throusrhoot the United States
for the simple reason that during tbe
period of high wages the standard of
living went up. wnen a man receives
more pay he Uvea in a better house
and tha tenements srs emntr. No
where are there desirable houses for
rent but plenty of unaesiraoie ones.
We have to face a oeriod of readjust
ment In the housing situation as well
as in other lines. People will have
to step down to the place they oc-
cupied before tbe war."
"The men's clothing industry which
went to the highest peak in tne nis
torv of the trade d urine the las
three years now Is settling back to
a very satisfactory normal." said Joel
Friedkin. of the Priedkin Tailoring
compan?. 314 East San Antonio
street. "The close of the war brought
an abnormal trade because nearly
t.ooo.ovO exsoldiers had to be clothed.
The war. of course hampered things
because Imported grooos were auricuit
to eeu and the shutting off of the
supplv of German manufactured dye
likewise hurt. While dyes now pro
curable are much better than we have
been able to get ror years tney ck
l.ostinsr Qualities of those avail le
prior to 1914. 1 believe that attar the
readjustment penoo a great many
more men will be converted to the
Idea ot made to measure clothing
than there were before the war.
