MESQUITE, N. M., Dec. 13.—If the farmers back home in Vermillion County could see what I've seen today, they'd swear the age of miracles was here. For I've seen a farm that covers 4000 acres: 130 families are needed the vear round to run it; they use 93 horses and 24 tractors; R the hired hands draw $126,000 } a year in wages, and the water alone costs $12000 a year. And this farm isnt owned by a bank or an insurance company or a real estate firm. It is owned by one man and his familv—the farmer himself—and he lives right on it. The man’s name is Dean Stahmann. He has built the whole thing up from almost nothing in 15 years. He is probably the outstanding farmer in the Southwest. And he never intended to be a farmer in the first place. Dean Stahmann is a tall, blond, engaging man still in his 30s. His father owned land around here, but Dean spent all his youth tending bees and paid no attention to farming. He went to schools and colleges all over the country. But in 1923 he had to quit school and come rushing home, for his father was in financial difficulty and they needed him. The Stahmann holdings are in two farm, not adjoining but close together. They are in the Rio Grande Valley, about 35 miles north of El Paso, in the Elephant Butte irrigation district. » ® »
Close Supervision Is Rule one farm is called Sante Tomas and covers 3000 acres. The other is the Snow Farm, of 1000 acres. Dean Stalimann savs it is the best farm in America, and he will argue, bet, fight or make a stump speech on that basis. Each farm has a superintendent—Clarence Sutherland on Sante Tomas, Harold Sowell on the Snow Farm, One used to be an accountant, the other a storekeeper. These 4000 acres are roughly divided inte 10 smaller farms. Each one has a little adobe settlement

UNBURIED. STILL RESTLESS. is the legend that Charles Julius Guiteau, the man who murdered President Garfield. had a sweetheart in Indianapolis. Some people, more credulous than the rest, even go so far as to claim that she was his afhanced wife Guiteau, you'll recall. Chicago lawyer who in 1880, after the election of James A. Garfield to the presidency, went ta Washington, presumably to secure the office of United States Consul at Marseilles. Somebody else got the job. On July 2. 1881, Guiteau shot the President and tho months later the President qdied. fiom the effect of his wound Letters taken from Guiteau after hiz arrest showed that he had planned to “remove” the President. He was indicted for muider and found guilty after a sensational trial in which insanity was the only plea offered by the defense. Guiteau was hanged on June 30 of the following veal It was while Guiteau was under arrest awaiting trial that the Indianapolis newspapers published a cryptic dispatch from Washington—something to the effect that the accused man had spoken of “a lad: in Indiana” who was something more to him than an ordinary acquaintance. And rightaway, people who love to piece things together remembered that Guiteau stopped off in Indianapolis in the spring of 1880 and stayed at a boarding house on N. Illinois St. He stayed several weeks.

A Rumor Is Started
Immediately a rumor got started that a lady live ing in Indianapolis was the reason for Guiteau's prolonged visit. She was described as a widow, young and rather good-looking with a flair for wearing her clothes well. Her behavior was extremely dignified, but not enough to be offensive. Which is to say that she could ve pleasant and dignified at the same

housing about 15 vear-round families. Each settlement has a sub-foreman, who lives there and who is responsible for that 400 acres. He and his group, never work anywhere except on their home 400. The | bulk of the workers are Spanish-American, and the superintendents must speak Spanish. | Now Dean Stahmann never sets hand to a plow Neither do his two superintendents. And neither do any of the 10 sub-foremen. But Stahmann and his superintendents and his sub-foremen all know what's going on. They are in the fields constantly. They know the production, and the plans for the next crop, and the plant diseases, and the amount of fertilizer on every acre of that 4000.
They Raise Everything |
They raise almost everything under the sun, but they concentrate on five crops. Cotton is the biggest —1400 acres of it. Just listen to the figures for this vear’s production: Cotton, 3200 bales: beet seed, £90,000 pounds; cantaloupes, 150 freight cars full; alfalfa, 5100 tons; corn, 6000 bushels. It takes three bookkeepers to keep track of expenses and mcome. They have two machine shops, | two blacksmith shops. They have their own store, and their own electric light plant. Some 25 miles of gravel road run through the | farm, and there is one county oiled road. There is! even a school. At cotton picking time the employees run up to 400. { Stahmann says he doesnt have a big turnover among his year-round population of 150 working | families, but he has a plan to cut down on what tumover there is. , \ At the end of each year, when the books are balanced. he'll put aside a certain part of the profits as a bonus. This he will give to the workmen who have been with him a year. But he won't give it all in one lump. He'll dole it out over the next seven months, in the form of increased wages. To get their bonus, they'll have to stay. Dean Stahmann thinks this the greatest agricul-! tural valley in America. His success can be largely | attributed to having evervthing under control. He controls the moisture, the fertility of the soil, all diseases. Evervthing is right under his thumb. Practically nothing is left to the whims of nature. |

time, an art which, for some reason, women knew more about 60 years ago than they do now. There were (wo ways of recognizing the widow. She neariv always wore a big hat with two trailing garnet plumes. If the weather demanded the wearing of a different kind of hat, you could identify her by a rosy-faced boy, about six vears old, who always accompanied her in her promenades. Sat urday afternoons, the two had a habit of attending the matinees at Dickson's Grand Opera House. On Sundays, {hey could always be seen at the Second Presbyterian Church On the day of Guiteau's hanging, the legend of his Indianapolis sweetheart took an even more romantic turn. By that time, somebody around here had dug up her past. Her husband. it appeared. was a college professor who went to California and there encountered a phenomenal stroke of luck. Out of a small investment sprang a handsome fortune—big enough for the three te go to Europe and have a good time. By that time. there was a baby. Suddenly, one day while in Italy, the husband died » » »
A Run of Hard Luck
On her return, the widow settied in Chicago where she engaged hersef to a young physician. A few weeks before the appointed wedding dav, he was drowned in a lake disaster. To complicate matters! still more, a scoundrel to whom she entrusted a large part of her fortune lost it in investments, leaving her only a moderate income. Shortly thereafter she met Guiteau in South Bend. Correspondence and oc-| casional visits developea the affair into an attachment. Nobody knows for sure why she came to Indianapolis, but it was generally believed at the time that she wanted to get away from friends who advised her not to marry Guiteau For the better part of a year after Guiteau's hanging, it was quite common around here to use the expression “as unlucky as Guiteau's sweetheart” when speaking of people's troubies. As far as I can learn it was never used outside of Indianapolis. Maybe, the legend is true, after all.

ERMANY faces foes who have been determined to wall her in from the supplies she needs to carry on a
protracted war.
Can they succeed?
Germany’s weakness lies in the fact that she must
get a great deal that she needs from the outside.
This is
further aggravated by the fact that to get what she needs she must pay for it with either goods or money. Her access to the goods of many countries is cut off by
the British blockade. Many products are cut off that way altogether. Other products are made so costly that they are prohibitive. The risk of shipping goods to Germany raises the price. The rounda bo ut route they must take makes another addition to the price. To pay for these imported goods she needs money or merchandise. She has not the money, The only money 5 good In interBOA national trade To is gold and Mr. Flynn her supply is hopelessly inadequate. As for other goods, there sie faces two obstacles. First of all the production of war materials, along with the domands for men in the army, makes it difficult for her to operate her peace-time product fac-

In the next place, whatever credits she has abroad she consumes in the purchase of war necessities. like oil and iron. Much of her iron comes from outside Germany and must be paid for with external credits.
LREADY we hear of GerA many’s difficulty in getting oil from Rumania. Rumania is not too eager to supply it. And England and other countries have focused their buying on countries upon which Germany must rely in order to cut down her available resources. Finally now we are informed that Germany is having difficulty paying for what she can actually get in Rumania. This weakness in oil may prove her undoing. The modern army travels on its gas tank as well as its stomach, Germany fs building large plants for the production of gasoline from coal but it will be six months before her present construction will offer any supplies, and a vear and a half before it is finished.

Photos above illustrate three problems that furrow Hitler's brow,
ANY ‘men insist that the great Catholic population, the conservative businessmen who have seen all swept away by taxes and enforced loans, the immense and once powerful liberal groups in Germany remain unconquered but subjected to forced silence. They say that as these sacrifices grow, the discontent will spread. Hitler's mighty threats to France have so far proved empty. His surrender to Russia — his abandonment of the role of antiBolshevist No. 1-is regarded as an evidence of known weakness, All this induces many observers to conclude that three possibilities loom ahead: 1. Hitler will try eclandestinely to bring about peace this winter. (Rumors of such an effort were denied from Berlin on Monday.)

mously expensive type of gasoline. It is difficult to see much light for Germany in these fac!s. On the daily necessity side, the picture is a little less clear. Certainly drastic rationing has gone into effect. Everybody carries his meager ration card. While this is so, some observers insist that with this system Germany can last for a long i(ime--she has large reserves and is thus conserving them. Goering declared brightly that Russia's great stores were opened to Germany and Dr, Ley declared ration portions would soon increase. But Russia will send nothing to Germany save what Germany can pay for. And this greatly limits that hope, But there is another side to this. How long will the German people hold out under these cone ditions? Will not this affect the political situation?
2. There will be a left-wing revolt in Germany with the aid of Russia, and Germany will fall into the hands of the Communists, 3. There will be an economic collapse followed by a struggle between the right and left-wing forces amounting to a revolution, France and England will take advantage of this to maneuver a dismemberment of Germany. Germany, on the other hand, believes that Britain, a capitalist economic unit, cannot stand the strain of a long war and will erack up before Germany does. The prospect of this is extremely light,

WASHINGTON. Dec. 13. Republicans have picked themselves up a new national headliner in Harold E. Stassen, the strapping young Governor of Minnesota. He won't be a Presidential candidate in 1940 because he is only 32 vears old, but he is down on the future books as a comer. This is the result of the closeup inspection which Republican leaders gave him here during the last few davs. Governor Stassen came to Washington to speak at the Gridiron dinner. When he left town he had met most of the party insiders. Comment among them was most favorable and some suggested that Governor Stassen should be the party keynoter in the 1940 convention. His ability as a speaker is recognized and he has the additional advantage of being ineligible himself as a candidate, Whether Governor Stassen will be selected will depend upon the wishes largely of Rep. Joseph Martin of Massachusetts, the Republican leader of the House. Rep. Martin has won wide approval among Republicans for his management of the House minority during the last two sessions. In a poll of Washington correspondents he was listed as the ablest member of the House. He was one of the original Landon men and the two remain close political rriends, » » »

The choice of keyvnoter will rest with a special committee which will be appointed and headed bv John Hamilton, Republican National Chairman.

My Day
WASHINGTON-—Friday, Dee. 153. will mark the 148th anniversary of the ratification of the Bill of Rights. I hope that every citizen in this country will read over those first 10 amendments to the Constitution and keep them constantly in mind, particularly Articles IV, V and VI. In Article VI it mentions the fact that in criminal prosecutions the criminal shall have certain rights. I am wondering if in the present day these rights should not be observed for all people, whether accused in a criminal case or whether merely accused through the public press. It seems to me that the right “to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining withiesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.” would be a safeguard to a great many peopie today who find themselves suddenly held up as dangerous citizens when they have not had an opportunity to be heard.
