Clearing Out NANCE

On the first of April force Of
U. s. and state inspectors begun
the task of cleaning out the itch
or mango from herds in Western
Kansas and eastern Colorado. There
are four government inspectors
assigned to this corner of the state.
1t is the intention to visit each
bunch of cattle in the territory
covered and to see that the infected
cattle are properly treated to eradi-
cate the disease. The work will be
continued until the itch has been
stamped out. Then we will be rid
of this bothersome quarantine and
the expense it causes, as well as
rouble and delay.

MORE ROOM NEEDED.


An important matter is facing
the people Of Holly and It is one
which must be met. And that is
the providing Of larger and better
school accommodations. The
present school facilities are very
inadequate. There is hardly a
room in the Holly school but
what is crowded and in most
cases it has been a serious prob
lem to find seats for the pupils.
Larger quarters must in some
way be furnished. In addition
provision should be made for
those who have finished or will
this year complete the twelfth
grade. which is as far as .he
Holly school can go at present.
1t ought not to be necessary to
send scholars out of town to COM
plete their common school educa-
ton. 1t is not only inconvenicnt,
but often works hardship on the
parents or guardians as well. Our
people should have the question,
larger school facilities, in mind,
and give it the serious considera-
ton which it deserves.

THE cHIEFTAIN AND THE
SALOON QUESTION.

Before The Chieftain again
goes to press the momentous
question Of 4 Wide-open Holly or
a town with the "lid" screwed
down tight, 0ill be settled for

past month wth be at an end.
The diacus1pn of an open or

erabla See1iN between former

that, without their particular
brand Of government, Holly
would 60 to the desnnition bow
vows, and never be heard of
more among men.
The Chieftain belives, and al
way has believed, that the fight
belonged to the taxpayer solely,
and it was for him to say what
particular brand Of government
suited him best, and this paper,
true to its promise Of January E.
took neutral ground, proving to
the people of the Great Arkansas
Valley that it was NOT the or
gan of any man, corporation or
association whose axe needed
grinding. :
The true mission of quasi
public enterprise, such as a news
paper must be, is NOT to preach
the gospel of discontent-but to
DISSEMINATE THE NEWS,
and give each and all a fair hear
ing, which The chieftain has
done. consistently and conscien-
tiously.
After every election, in any
community, there is always the
usual number Of soreheads, but
we hope it is the exception rather
than the rule in this neck-o'-the-
woods.

made Buckeye famous and if it is eye famous.
 Incidentally Mir. Thorpe stated a few facts in connection with the operations of the WesseX- company that will not do Buckeye any harm to repeat The company this year threshed 100000 pounds of alfalfa seed that returned at the rate of 355 pounds of seed per acre in each of the two crops har- vested. At II cents per pound for the seed which is considered fair price for Buckeye product, the return would be S7S10 per acre. The threshed straw is considered worth & a ton for feed ing and there was probably two tons of it per acre in each crop, which would add $20 more to the product making a total of $9S.10. In addition to that one crop of hay was cut before the seed was permitted to mature. and the fields are pastured during the winter. The gross return for the year is there fore considerably over $1O0 per acre.
 En route here MT Thorpe stopped over in Tucson a few hours and visited the new Old Pueblo club which has been much talked of since its opening a few months ago. Mir. Thorpe says it is a magnificent three story building with a roof garden. costing about $7G.- 900 and that it is mostly paid for. The lower floor is rented for business pur- poses and the club seems in every way to have a good investment in addition to the fact that it is a handsome club home, perfect in it's equipment and comforts.

BUCKEYE ALFALFA
 TOPS THE MARKET
It Has Made Buckeye Famous Already Says James R. Thorpe.

James R. Thorpe of the Wessex company which has considerable prop erty in the Buckeye section, arrived here yesterday morning. He will visit Buckeye today and returning leave here again Thursday or Friday.
 MT. Thorpe came from his home in Denver though he has recently been in several of the middle and northern states. The NVesseX company is en- gagged in the raising of alfalfa quite extensively and MT. Thorpe took ocSl- sion in some of the cities he visited to drop into the seed stores and inquire concerning the market for alfalfa seed. In some of them he asked why they did not handle Buckeye alfalfa seed and was always told that they did handle it whenever they could get 1t; that it was recognized as the best all falfa seed producing section of the whole country and the seed was all ways in demand.
 He started to tell some of them about the Buckeye country and they told him 1t was a waste of breadth; they had heard it already whether they knew anything else about Arizona or not. It seems that the Buckeye ad- vertising has found lodgment in the right places and has been needed, though like any other advertising it must be continued. Alfalfa seed has

TORRENT
WORLDS GREATEST
LINGUIST A WOMAN

The record of being the world S
greatest all-round linguist is claimed
by Miss Mary E. S. Cotton, a resident
of Easthampton, Mass. She can speak
and read forty foreign languages.
Prior to her appearance in the
field as a candidate for linguistic
honors, the record for the greatest
number of languages spoken by any
one person was thirty-three.
Miss Cotton has mastered some of
the most difficult tongues in the
world. Among these are Chinese
Pail, Ayestan, Sanscrit, Hebrew, Sy-
rian, Assyrian, Arabic and Persian
She also speaks and reads Latin,
Greek and all the modern European
languages.
She studied languages at Yale and
at Radcliffe, and latterly went into
the far East to add to her familiarity
with its tongues Recently she was
in the mountains of Afghanistan,
where the first articulate speech is
supposed to have originated and be-
come the mother of all languages.

POSTMASTER GEN.
FOR PARCELS POST
Sees Only Good From ES-
Establishment.

Postmaster General George Won L.
Meyer was the guest of honor at the
annual dinner Monday night of New
York State Association of Postmas-
ters at the Hotel Astor, and made
an address in which he told of con-
templated improvements in the local
postal service, and advocated strong
ly the passage by Congress of a par
cells post and postal savings bank
law.
For long time the Postmaster
General has been strong advocate
of the establishment of a parcels
post, which would carry packages
larger than those now authorized by
the law, and he has caused such a
measure to be introduced in Con-
gress.
This measure has met with oppo-
sition from certain interests that it
is not necessary to mention here to-
night" he said, "but | think that
even those interests would withdraw
much of their opposition if they thor
oughly understood the measure: /
do not think that a parcels post
would detract from the express COM
panies, for the people are too &C
CuSIOmeu TO having tneIr packages
delivered at their houses Such a
service would be of great advantage
to those persons who canot be reach
ed through express offices. And I can
assure you that the establishment of
such branch of the Postal Service
would not hurt the small country
merchant, as has been charged by op-
ponents of the plan, for the bill has
been so framed that it does not bene-
fit the mail order houses at the
expense of the small merchants"
The Postmaster General then turn
ed his attention to the postal savings
bank scheme that he has advocated
so strongly, saying that it would prove
of great advantage to the person of
small incomes, and especially in
times when the people lost their
confidence in the ordinary banking
institutions. The Postmaster General
said that it is proposed to model the
postal savings banks on the system
as it has existed in Canada, so sue
cessfully for the last thirty-nine
years.
