A Correction of Some Errors


Montgomery, La, Jan. IL. 1918.
Editor Coltd1 Chronicle:
In looking over the Chronicle / found
two or three errors that under the ex-
listing circumstances would do me harm.
The first is of but little Importance, and
is where you give SO corn demonstra-
tors as cultivatirg 574 acras, when it
should read that the SO demonstrators
cultivated 674 acres. The second error
is where L. B. Woods, of Verda, is
given, when is should be R. B. Woods,
of Verda. The third is where E. H.
Hosner, of Colfax, is given, when Mr..
Hosner has never been one of my DEM
onstrators. 1t should read E. H. Hol-
land. He lives on the LaCroix place,
on the road leading to the hills north of
Colfax. He had three acres of fresh
land, and was one of Sam Johnson's
best men in 1911, at Aloha.
1t is my duty to report good work, re-
CARELESS of whether it is done by a
renter or owner of land. AS there

PLANT MORE WHEAT

The Gila Valley Milling Company
opened in our valley two years ago
with ample capital to run their busi-
ness and to protect themselves
against immediate loss and expenses.
Their knowledge of the business was
we'll founded. They established
service of delivery and carry a good
ly stock at all times, and their ac-
counting is second to none in the
valley. They have stuck to their
work and their business of making
flour and have continued to improve
upon their flour quality. until to-
day, they are making both a hard
and soft wheat -four that is equal
to or superior to any other makes or
brand of flours and their sales are
rapidly growing, and they guarantee
satisfaction to any user who will
give their flour fair trial.
The Gila Valley Milling Company
has also introduced the Early Bar
Seed Wheat into this valley, which
has proven so profitable to the far
mers of the Salt River valley, and
the government has just purchased
through the Gila Valley Milling
Company l25,000 pounds of this
Early Bar Seed Wheat for planting
and cultivating on the Indian Reser-

BEILISS IS INNOCENT

Mendel Beiliss, the Jew, who was
tried for the murder of the boy
Yushinsky, at Kieve, Russia has
been declared innocent by the jury.
Race hatred and ignorance descend
ing from the very throne of Russia
sought the life of an innocent man
to satisfy the blood-thirsty instincts
of the Russians.
Russia is burlesque on christian
ity and always has been, and will
continue to be so until the people
become more enlightened and do
away with the scrofulous rulers that
are powerful enough to condemn to
death innocent people.
Darkest Russia! 1t will always
be dark, until the light of educa-
ton spreads its rays so strongly that
it envelopes and engulfs the individ-
ual and individuals that now con-

REMOVE HYTCHING POSTS

To the casual observer it would
appear that placing hitching posts on
the side streets Immediately adjoin-
ing the main business street, is just
as obnoxious as having them on the
main street, and it would be much
better if the hitching posts were re-
moved to places on Twelfth street,
alongside of park and cleaned up
daily.
The removal of the hitching posts
from Tenth street, the main busi-
ness street of the town, has certainly
made that thoroughfare a clean
street, but, when one turns the cor
ners of the cross streets, they are
Immediately confronted with the
previous bad conditions that pre-
vailed on Tenth street.
1t would seem eminently fit and
proper to have a known place for
vehicles of all kinds to find harbor
and that place kept clean daily for
health reasons, and by having the
posts alongside of park this could
be accomplished and no interference
with business would ensue.
The disease breeding fly is just
as dangerous from manure pile on
the corner of Tenth and L streets,
as it would if it came from the same
unclean conditions in front of a
business place on the main street,
and chances to keep the streets clean
and free from the germs that spread
disease, would be better accomp-
lished if place were chosen for
the hitching of horses that would
not be on a public thoroughfare or
directly near and adjoining business
places.

WANT NEW TRAIN

The commercial travellers who
work the Gila valley and the Globe
Miami district are making strong
effort to secure better train service
from the Arizona Eastern and South
ern Pacific railroads.
Petitions to the officials of the
railroads are now being circulated
for signatures of business men and
citizensgeneraly. and the commercial
travellers have taken steps to obtain
the cooperation of their corganiza-
ton, the |. G. M. A., in the move
ment for a night train into Globe
and Miami.
The Arizona Record says:
1T is pointed out that the improved
train service would mean much
to the merchants Of this city, as it
would increase by so per cent the
number OF commercial men who call
here. Under the present conditions
it is necessary for a commercial
traveller to spend three days every
time he comes into the Globe dis
trict. With new train the trip
here would be but one day."
An additional train, leaving Bowie
in the evening for Globe, would also
be a great help to Stafford and other
towns in the valley. There would
be more travellers coming in and
stopping off to solicit business, and
it would also afford people going to
the coast to take a side trip and see
our beautiful valley.

PLENTY OF WHITEWAsH

In his zeal to magnify his office a
German analyst has worked out an
elaborate estimate of the CONNER
cial worth of the human body when
that wondrous organism is reduced
to it's constituent elements of the
chemist and put on the market.
The figures show that a 150-pound
human being is worth $7.81.
HIS fat is worth $3.50. OF the
iron there is hardly enough to make
a nail an inch long. There is suf-
ficient lime to whitewash pretty
good sized chicken house. The phos-
phorus would be sufficient to put
heads on 22O6 matches, and there is
enough magnetism to make pretty
fireworks. The average human be-
ing contains enough albumen for
100 eggs. There is possibly tea
spoonful of sugar and a pinch of
salt"
AT first sight" says medical
journal, we seem to have found
useful outlet for our surplus popu-
lation. To turn the unemployed
into whitewash and get the unem-
ployed to apply it to our chicken
houses sounds simple, but it is not.
For the elements are so mixed in us
that when nature sets them up and
says this is man, it would cost more
than our $7.S1 to turn our substance
to any baser uses.
1T is bad luck that when we have
done with our bodies we cannot hand
them over to the hardware dealer,
but it is our fate. Dust we are and
we remain the quintessence of dust.

in the quiet, cultured atmosphere of
a college town. That pretty ten
room house that is to be her home
really concerns her much more than
her wedding finery. Her street

without exception from models in

tells you exactly what you are going
to get, the quality and the price you

"BIC TIM"

A machine Politician, dead or alive,
serves to sharpen the point of the
moralist. So we hear now that
big Tim" Sullivan's career ended
miserably," that the audacious and
domineering CRATER of the Sullivan
type has passed into history" We
wonder! Here was a man who, in
spite of civic faults, never smoked,
never drank, never lost his temper;
who left school at eight or nine and
fought his way to wealth and power;
who loved life and played the game;
who kept the faith with those who
followed him, and never lost interest
in or sympathy with the submerged
tenth. Political methods change;
the strategy of one generation is
crime in the next. We are working
out a pure ballot, falr nominations,
honest elections, we are on the way
toward divorcing government from
privilege and Office from privileged
incompetence, but the people of our
cities will always value the leader
ship of men who care about them,
who look after them in their distress,
and sympathize with them in their
small struggles and triumphs. When
socialogists talk about conscious
ness of any kind" they have in mind
something much more fundamental
than any movement toward efficiency
methods. What would New York
