MT. Staey then said to me: MT. Hud- dleston, we know you are fair, and we would like for you to stop these names being sent out which we think is unlaw- full" I replied that in my opinion, MT. Silks action was lawful, and that the inspectors could not prevent it. A vote was then taken by the two 'wets'' voting against me. and decision thus reached that Silk should not be permitted to send out the lists and he was instructed not to do so. MT. Staley retired and no more names were sent out for about an hour, when MT. Beddow and MT Burr appeared and argued to the inspectors that MT. Silks action was lawful. The inspectors suggested that they see MT Jones Moore and make some agreement about the mat ter. They then retired and in a short time the sheriff MT. McAdory came in with his attorney and instructed the inspectors that MT. Silk had the lawful right to send out the names. After this Mir. Silk con tinued to send the names, and no further objection was made by the wet" inspec- tors There was no excitement, and no ill feeling, and during the entire election my relations with Mr. Gambill and Mir. Stern were of the friendiest nature and in perfect harmony.
 At the beginning it was agreed that those whose names did not appear on the lists should be required to satisfy the inspectors of theiri right to vote. MT. Gambill had charge of receiving the bal lots. NIT. Stern looked over the lists and upon falling to find voters name re- ferred him to me. and I examined his tax receipts, etc, and if 1t appeared that he was a. qualified voter he was permitted to vote without formality. If the voter did not have the proper papers he was required to sign an affidavit and his vote

DON'T TALK
SAYS HOARD
Former Governor Gives
Sensible Advice
SPEECH IS A GOOD ONE
Farmers are Told to be on
Their Guard Against PEG
pie Who Talk Conserva-
ton Only For Political
Gain.

The following address on Con
servation OF the Farm" delivered at
the conservation congress at Kansas
City by former Governor W. ID.
Hoard. of Wisconsin, will be OF inter
est not only to farmers but t. all
students of farm life:
In the limited remarks l shall have
TO make on this subject, / wish first
to preface by saying that 1t seems -
me that one OF the crying needs of
conservation today is to conserve con-
scrvation. There is an immense Waste
of talk and time and crude uncon-
structivc thought on tins subject Too
many men are crying, Salvation
lies in this direction, or that To-
many are talking with an Interior
purpose of personal gain in notOriety
or politics. Forests, mines and water
powers claim the principal part
Of the thought and attention when
they are not the paramount subjects
Of conservation we consider. 1t is
too easy to gencraliZc or denounce or
set up impractical standards of ac-
ton by men who have not a con-
structive, practical thought to offer,
whereby the desired things We might
wish for may be obtained. But here
stands a great necessity. a glaring
mistake, the result of gross ignorance
on the part of the farmers OF the
American nation for many generations.
They have wasted their heritage;
they are continually wasting il
Eighty three millions Of people are
depending today for food on the wis
dom, the skill, the conserving good
sense of seven millions of farmers.
BY another decade a hundred millions
will face the same dependence. The
cry goes up from this vast army of
consumers against the high cost of
living. The contingencies of the sea-
sons, serious as they are oftentimes,
are enough for producer and con-
sumner TO face. But we are confronted
with the most serious danger Of all III
the wasting of fertility, the steady
decline in the productive power of
our arabic lands. Here stands the
question: An incgeasing demand and
necessity for food and a steady de-
cline i'm our lands of the power to
produce food. How long shall that
reproach to our intelligence continue?
Before that great and overwhelming
necessity all other questions of con-
servation pale into insignificance
Study the situation as it exists to-
day. From the Atlantic to the Rocky
mountains the American farmer has
blazed a pathway of destruction to
fertility and forests. His is the hand

ADMISSION DAY TO
Be ANNUAL HOLIDAY
BOARD OF TRADE PROJECT UN-
DER CONSIDERATION.
Proclamation Will Be Issued in a Most
Fitting Season for Celebration.

1t is common knowledge that Arizona
VIII become a state by the prOcla-
nation of the president shortly after
the election of the state officers on
December 18th. The board Of trade
wishing to properly commemorate the
occasion proposes to make the date OF
admission an annual holiday and to
that end discussion of plans was held
at its meeting yesterday.
Admission will probably occur early
in January, the most beautiful time of
the year in Phoenix and many other
portions of Arizona. 1t is likely that
many other towns will also wish to
keep this time as a festival and no
doubt the president would be willing
to proclaim a day in mid-week, Thurs
day for instance. as the day of admis-
sion, if the matter We're taken up with
him. This would give Thursday. Fri
day and Saturday at the end of the
week for a mid-winter fiesta. Such a
Notification could be made patriotic,
pleasant and pecuniary success.

tural waste that is constantly going
on He must adopt the principle that
il is to his ultimate greater profit as
well as the well being OF the state
that he farm towards an increase
rather than a decrease of the fer
tility Of his land
These are some OF the paramount
problems Of the day and hour that
confront the dairy farmer The trou-
BILE is that here as well as elsewhere
in this broad field of agriculture. ig-
norance has held sway. We all like
sheep have gone astray" The wise.
live teachers of agriculture are be-
coming more obessed every day with
the thought that if the future mill
lions Of this country are fed. the
American farmer must wake IN. and
that right soon. to the fearful mis-
takes he has been making through
his ignorance and Indifference in de-
stroying the productive capacity OF
his land.
Every man, woman and child in
the nation is vitality interested in the
promotion Of conserving intelligence
among the farmers of this country.

MADE A GOOD HAUL.

The police department has been in
formed that the home of T. r. Peart
at Casa Grande was burglavized few
nights ago, and several hundred dol
lars worth of property taken. says the
Tucson Citizen.
The Peart family was not living in
the house, and the burglars had little
difficulty in gaining entrance Two
watches, two diamond rings. two raz-
ors, pearl-handled knife, and several
other articles were taken.
The burglary is believed to have
been committed by hoboes drifting
along the main line and all officers
in main line towns are being notified.
