Memorial Day Sermon

While we lay the wreaths of affectionate remembrance over the mounded graves in Gods acre" let us resolve anew to be more patient with the living,
 more kindly affectionate one with another, not waiting to break out alabaster boxes of fragrant ointment and strew our flowers over the silent clay when the heart they would have cheer ed has stopped it's beating for ever. If you love your sister or your neighbor, tell her so If the children do little thoughtful things for your comfort tell them how much you appreciate it. If you think they are doing well in school let them know you are proud of them; and if the little son or daughter looks well, tell them so unless they are insuffer- able little prigs and need holding down. Few people are injured by honest words of commenda- tion. As rule it calls them to do their best in order to live up to the standard yon have set. Another thing. don't wait to have your good times together until "by and by Have them now. In the days to come the family circle may be broken and though you may have more time and money then, there will be aching hearts when you think how father or sister or brother would have enjoyed this" Make more Of the holiday. Anon.

With this issue The News en- ters upon its fourth year. Being a part of life, the early days of a newspaper are decidedly trying to an editor when it is necessary to nourish the literary infant through the teething to humps period. But honestly. don'tyou think that The News is a nice robust country paper. It's par ents are rather proud of it and have great plans and hopes for it's future. It hopes to live to record the arrival of future citi- zens with rejoicing and sincerely mourn the departure of old timers to that land from which no man returneth. It hopes to tell of all community events and be a welcome and eagerly awaited visitor in every home in Navajo county. The interests of Holbrook and Navajo county will always be a paramount issue with The News well, we are not going to promise any thing rash but if you place your name on The News subscription list we will keep you posted on the course of human events in this part of the world.

states there are large areas or excellent grazing land in which the number of places where water for man or beast can be obtained is relatively small. Sometimes the shortest distance between
 water holes" is 10, 20, or even 50 miles. Some of these water places are springs, some of them ponds of alkaline water, some of them small streams flowing down from the adjacent hills or mount ain and becoming lost on the edge of the desert. The lands in large part support a growth of grass and small brush which is excellent fodder for horses, cattle, or sheep, and practically all these areas are Government land they are free range" for who- ever may care to graze his stock thereon. However. stock cannot live without water. and unless watering places are available to stock owner it IS impossible for him to utilize the range.
 As a result of these conditions it has come to be common prac- tice in some parts of the west for big cattle or sheep outfit to obtain possession of the few scattered water holes in certain area and by this means to monap- olize the grazing privilege almost as effectively as If it actually own ed every acre of the area. In consequence the small stock own CT has been placed at a serious disadvantage and in many local ities has been forced out of busi- ness.
 This practical development of the conservation policy in order to prevent monopolization of the public grazing lands will not only insure equal opportunity. under present conditions, but it prepares the way for future legislation. Should Congress at any future time decide to pass a grazing law the detention of these watering places m public ownership will make the enactment of a satis- factory law possible; whereas if the water should pass into private hands the framing of the law providing the control of grazing on the public domain would be unless, because the law itself would be imperative.
 The present action will really be beneficial to both large and small stock growers, although it will doubtless not be pleasing to those who desire to exclude rivals from the range by acquiring the watering places themselves. The competition and struggle for ex- istence have in many places, how ever. grown so keen that even to the largest outfits the strife has become burdensome, and to some of them, at least. the removal of one of the causes of contention by the reservation of the springs and streams for the common use of all will be decided relief. To the small stockmen who has been fighting for existence and who seen his grazing area diminish year by year as he has been barred from this spring or from that stream, it will be welcome news that the government has taken steps that will at least make the competition fairer.
