While it would be an ad. vantage to this city to be designated the night control. it would have been merely incidental to the chief object and purpose of the merely incidental 10 the chief object and purpose of the race, to-wit: to advertise the Bor- derland route, from which Tucson will be benefited as much as any other town along the route.
 So while 1t appears that Tucson will not be the night control of the race all is not lost and this city should get busy toward doing its part toward financing the race. Whatever amount is contributed to the prize purses is simply it's part of splendid advertising pool.-Tucson Star.
 The Star thus speaks in the right spirit and unselishIy. The city that will have the night control is mer" incident in the main purpose of the proposed race which is to boost the state fair and advertise the Border,  land route. Now. we would suggest that Douglas cease trying 10 muddy the water by insisting on changing the route of the race which was agreed to at the meeting iu Phoenix when the success of this race was practically insured.
 Bisbee is not worrying over the matter of night control, but 1t should be here in preference to Douglas as that would shorten the distance of the second days run and this should be considered because of the desira- biIity to reach Phoenix as early in the afternoon as possible.

Every street in the camp was hberally supplied with wa. ter from artesian wells and all the garbage was burned as fast as it was made. The contrast between the cleanliness and comfort of such condi- iions and the conditions in which the soldiers of 1868 were compelled to live must have struck the minds. Of the veterans most vividly

 Notwithstanding the great accom- plishments resulting in the preserva, ton Of health and eliminating the pests that not only bred disease but were niserably annoying. sometimes we hear complaint about the govern nent expenditure in carrying on the study and experiments required in bringing about perfect sanitary and healthful conditions.
 A gentleman returning from the Panama canal recently declared that he believed that those in charge of the work of providing health and
 anitation in the canal zone were en- titled to more credit flor the success of the great enterprise than those who planned and directed the actual work. In the city of Colon and over the entire canal zone he noted per, feet health conditions and where the French effort years ago was amid awarms of mosquitoes and flies and where yellow fever claimed victims hy the thousands no flies or mosqui- toes are to be found today and the death rate is at the minimum.
 No department of the government has performed it's duty better or more perfectly than the one which has been charged with promoting better health conditions in this country, re- sulting in eliminating the scourges ot cholera and yellow fever which were SO frequent and fatal only a short quarter of a century ago.

PLAN MEMORIAL TO MOLLY
PITCHER, FAMOUS HEROINE
Patriotic Citizens Suggest Monument
at Her Grave In Carlisle, Pa.

Patriotic citizens and organizations
are taking great interest in the pro-
posal that monument in honor of
Molly Pitcher, heroine of the battle of
Monmouth during the Revolutionary
war, be erected at Carlisle, Pa, where
her body is buried.
Advocates of the memorial plan got
the Pennsylvania legislature interested
in the subject and expect definite re-
suits soon.
1t is planned to honor this American
woman, who bravely took her hus-
bands post at a cannon in one of the
fiercest battles of the Revolution after
he had fallen.
The proposed memorial has been de-
signed as a pedestal surmounted by a
figure of the illustrious Molly, whose
married name was McKolly or Nc
Cauley. Particular care has been taken
by the sculptor to make the likeness as
perfect as possible.
Five women descendants of Molly,
now living in Carlisle, were used as
models for the statue. Excellent de-
scriptions by people who knew the
woman were available and were used
in molding the figure.
On the proposed monument, for
which the state of Pennsylvania will
be asked to spend $4,000, are two
bronze tablets, one Of which will show
Molly with her traditional pitcher lend
ing succor in the midst of battle and
the other will show her at the cannon's
mouth. In front Of the monument an
exact reproduction of the cannon she
served will he constructed.

LeQumes Add Nitrouen.

At the Rhode Island station a Eve
year pot experiment with different
legumes was conducted to ascertain
the amount of nitrogen secured from
the air during the growth of the
legumes in light gravelly soil,
without the addition of nitrogenous
manure, but with optimum amounts of
other manures. 1t was found that
the approximate gain during five
years with cowpeas and soy beans
and with vetch, which was grown al
ternately with each, was a ton of nit
rogen per acre, about seven-tenths of
which was contained in the 25 tons

Mr.. Balch does not hesitate to de-
clare that DR.. Cook has been badly
used and that he has not been ac-
corded anything like the credit which
he really deserves. He quotes Cap
tain Amundsen as being astonished
when he learned that DR.. Cook had
been held up to ridicule.
Mr.. Balch attaches much import
ance to the belief that Cook and
Peary arrived almost simultaneously
because of the duplication of de-
scriptions of ice conditions furnished
by both.
"The vital and decisive historical
fact" writes Mr.. Balch, connected
with the records relating to the dis
covery of the pole is that Cooks an
nouncement in his cablegram pub
lished September 2, 1909, that at the
North pole there is an endless field
of purple snow, no life, no land, is
the first statement ever made by any
one claiming to be an eye witness of
conditions there. There can be no
contradiction that Cook was the first
to record his claim. Cook wrote all
of this and it was published almost
simultaneously with Peary's return. -

BILLS OF INTEREST
TO THE HUNTERS.

Harrisburg, April e. There are
now in the hands of the governor,
three bills of vital interest to the
hunters of Pennsylvania and if they
receive executive sanction, this legis-
lature will not soon be forgotten by
the devotees of the dog and gun. AS
the measures are by the game de-
partment there is but slight danger
of the governor refusing to sign
them.
The most important bill affecting
the State hunters is the Davis bill,
calling for the licensing of every
hunter, the fee to be 81. This meas
ure was fought vigorously by mem
bers from the agricultural section,
who claimed that it contained a
clause permitting outside people to
go into a section and lease an entire
woodside or mountainside for a pres
ervation.
Men interested in the propagation
of game gave the bill hearty support,
it being estimated that the revenue
obtained through this one dollar
license will be the means of laying
foundation for prolific game for
many years to come.
The other hunters bills awaiting
action by the governor were intro
duced early in the session by Repre-
sentative Price of Monroe county.
One of these makes a change in the
season for deer by opening it on Nov.
Is, instead of November 10, and
closing it on Dec. 1 instead of Nov.
%. Price says that this change is
greatly desired by deer hunters, who
claim that the nearer the season is
brought to midwinter, the better
chance they will have in tracing the
animal. The bills extend the sea-
son one day.
Representative Prices other bill
fixes October Is to November 80 as
the open season for the gray, the
black and fox squirrel, the wild tur-
key, the ruffled grouse, the Hungar-
ian partridge, the woodcock and the
English or Chinese ringneck pleas
ant; and November to December
81 is made the open season for the
gray rabbit and hare.

Lawn Pests.

Prompt action and thorough, intelli-
gent treatment is necessary to kill
lawn pests and rid your sod Of these
undesirable occupants.
The dandelion is the most notorious
OF our lawn pests. The first few days
of warm growing weather will bring
out it's glowing blossoms and no hard
winter seems to diminish it's optimism
or energy. There will be more Of
them than last year. There always
are. The richer the soil and the finer
the place, the more dandelions there
will be.
Unlike other weeds, which can be
crowded out by heavily feeding the
grass, the dandelion responds to such
treatment even more nobly than does
the grass. 1t is directly comparable
to some of our public servants, whose
extraordinary abilities could be pro-
ductive Of 80 much good II applied In
the proper direction.
True, the dandelion serves the pur-
pose of calling many householders out
of doors into the healing spring sun
shine, who would otherwise stay in
doors. Its first blossoms bring real
10y to the small boy and salad to the
railroad section hand. but the man
with the lawn mower loves 1t not.
Away with 1t. We can Danish it II we
will.
The best method Of eradicating dan
delions from sod is to keep the grass
nut closely during the dandelion sea-
son, re=Re 1t and burn 1t, and spray
the laN . every ten days or oftener
with a solution of copperas, or sui
phate of iron, as it is more properly
