HOW STUDENTS PAY
 WAY AT UNIVERSITY

Earning Ones Way at the Univer sity of Arizona" is the title of the latest issue of the University of Ari zona Record. The facts have been compiled from statements made by many students who supported them selves while going to school.
 Thirty-five men were able to secure positions. either temporary or perma- nent, through the university Y. M. c. A. employment committee during the past year These jobs netted the men approximately $475.
 A number of very original schemes have been successfully carried out by self-supporting students. A large mum Der of students are employed on the campus. About dozen students main tain themselves by doing janitor work $24e0 year being the total income of all student janitors, according to the statement of the university busi- ness manager.
 Another dozen earn their board by waiting on table in the dining hall. Assistants are regularly employed in the library, the shops and the labora- tories.
 Two or three students can earn from $15 to $20 month doing steno graphic and office work on the cam pus Then there are frequent odd jobs to be obtained, paying from p cents to 35 cents an hour.
 Several students act as agents for downtown laundries. Others care for furnaces both on the campus and in private homes Frequently student obtains board and room by doing chores at town or country place.
 One student recently carried full collegiate years work while acting as baggage room clerk at the Southern Pacific station at S90 per month. The daily newspapers usually have two representatives on the campus.
 Occasionally student makes a neat sum selling some novelty. One youth made about $40 in a few weeks selling a college memory book. Another sold haberdashery on the campus and in a house-to-house canvass. Athletic goods also pay we'll for students who sell them on commission.
 By citing these specific instances Of how students have paid their expenses the phamphlet encourages prospective students to undertake the task of making their own way.
 Students are not looked down upon for earning their way" says Dr Wilde, president of the university. "There is so much spirit on this campus. Some of the most popular students are self-suporting men and women. It is all a matter of character and good fellow ship"

EUROPEAN POWERS
 WANT EXPLANATION

WASHINGTON, D, C., July 15.- Already one of the great European powers through it's diplomatic repre- sentative here, has called the atten tion of Secretary of State Bryan tG the chaotic conditions in Mexico and their effect upon the welfare and safe ty of it's subjects there, with polite inquiry as to what the United States proposes to do about it.
 Whether the inquiry is part of a concerted movement on the part of <'e European powers to bring the state department to a declaration of it's purpose toward Mexico did not de. velop.
 Reports from the City of Mexico however, warrant that conclusion Failing declaration as to whether or not the United States intends to recognize the Huerta regime, some officials fear that the European pow CTS may feel themseves free to take steps to restore peace.

ID RAISE
 BAN ON MUNITIONS

TUCSON, July 15.-A petition to President Wilson asking that the ban on munitions of war going into Mex ico be raised was circulated in Tue son on Tuesday and found many sign CTS. It emanates from Douglas and the return of the sheets is directed to postoffice box No. 43.
 The petition recites that former President Taft issued proclamation in March, 1912, forbidding the expor- tation of munitions of war into Mex ico, that there is not now any gov ernment recognized by the United States as a de jure government, that the proclamation is without force and effect, that the United States is ull- der the necessity of maintaining an armed force at enormous expense and that the proclamation has caused more feeling on the part of Mexicans in the United States and Mexico to the detriment of American citizens in Mexico than any other act of the United States government in connec- tion with the Mexican disturbances.

.R|DCWAY COMPANY
 MAKES MATTERS WORSE

It is evident from the answer filed by the Ridgway Company, publishers of Everybody's Magazine, to the libel suit filed by Judge Richard E. Sloan that the defendant has taken the word of F. H. Blighton, the author of the article of which Judge Sloan com plains, and that thereby they have made a bad matter worse. It will be remembered that the article charged that Judge Sloan had passed upon power contract between the Salt River Valley Water Users Associa- ton and the Pacific Gas and Electric Company with which contract the ar ticle largely dealt Judge Sloan, ln his complaint, alleged that he ne"er saw the contract and that it wa made long before he became the coun- sel for the Water Users AsSOciation. In their answer the publishers of Ev- erybody's alleged that Judge Sloan's reputation, political, official and per sonal, has been, and is, notoriously bad. This sounds like Blighton. The publishers of Everybody's accepted the word f a notorious liar when they published the article by Blighton of which Judge Sloan complained, anc they are now adding insult to injury by reiterating this infamous falsehood
 n their answer to the suit.
 Not even Judge Sloan's political en amies will say that his reputation is such as the publisehrs of Everybody's s have alleged it be and if the lat ter will cnduct an independent il gestigation in this state they will very quickly ascertain the error of then way and make public apology for the falsehood to which they have given publicity.-Tucson Citizen.

THE PIONEER HOME
 MAY HAVE NEW HEAD

PHOENIX, July 1.-The state Pio- neer home, an institution established and maintained by the state for the purpose of taking care of the plo- neers of the state, those settlers who in early days fought both the Indians and the desert in order that Arizona might be. is located at Prescott, ln Yayapai county. The superintendent of the institution is Percy V. Cold we'll himself pioneer. In this ln- stitution, the greatest number or ln- mates is supplied by Yayapai county, according to the report of Superintend- ent Caldwell, recently filed with the governor.
 The counties are represented about as follows: Yavapai, 13; MRricopa' 9' Mohave, 1; Coconino, |; Vera Cruz, l; Pima, 8; Cochise, 2; Gila, 2; Yuma, T.; Greenlee, 1; Navajo, l. It is noticed that Apache county and Graham coun ivy are not represented. These occu- pants more than tax the size of the home. There is a great need for more room there The cost per man IS about $2SS.7S per year to the state and the average daily population for the year is thirty-seven.
 In spite of all this, however, the home is a source of constant trouble the administration. The Pioneers kick about conditions and in this they are aided by those people in Prescott who believe that airing the kicks will embarrass the administration. There is a constant clamor for a change in the management of the home, yet the clamor rarely shows any good anc sufficient cause or reason for change However, it has been rumored that 6e Ei Esh9rtlX M le be 1ade as If pnde nu reads the governor may in his dis cretion appoint man to the superin- tendency of the home who is not q pioneer.
 Among those who have been men toned for the position should a va cancy be declared, is Hon. Powhatan S. Wren, of Constellation, in Yavapa county, a member of the delegation from that county to the state legisla tion in the recent terms.

ARIZONA HAS MANY
 SUMMER RESORTS NOW
(From the Ell Paso Herald) :.

(FrOm the El PaSO HoralQ)
 In Arizona strong movement is under way to arouse popular interest in home resorts and to discourage the annual drain of population and cash to California. Arizona news papers and magazines are filled with advertisements of newly founded summer cottage recorts in the noun tains and higher plateaus of the state; the inducements are alluring, and it would seem as if they ought to get good results.
 Arizona is blessed with a large va riety of climate. The common notion is that it is all hot-a region of low blistering valleys and desert. /" nothing would be farther from the truth. Arizona has an immense area of mountainous country, where the average elevation is many thousands of feet above sea level. Arizona has mountain ranges with peaks 5000 anu lU,UUU l0cI ulSH Ol AIOlO Ai zona has vast forests, in fact that state has the largest pine forests ir one body remaining in the United States.
 It is easy to get into the mountaini prom the cities. Establishing a fey more good roads will fopen up i'm mense areas of high mountainow country to summer settlement. Thep is plenty of mountain water, and tfe mountain scenery cannot be sur passed anywhere
 All it needs is education, inforna- tion, and the building up of a split of loyalty to home. Just as El PfSo and New Mexico people ought to think first of Cloudcroft when tey plan for summer, and ought to take advantage of this beautiful re sort right at home, just as the peple of Arizona ought to make the Tost of their own state resorts, open up and develop new ones, build rads, institute improvements, and in eery possible way undertake to mak'Ause of the summer recreation faclities their own state presents.
