Richie, worlds lightweight champion,
whipped Leach Cross. of this city.
From the moment the gong sounded
for the first time the men fought like
bulldogs but in the third round
Cross had a narrow escape from a
Knockout Richie caught him flush
on the jaw with a terrific right hand
swing. and foored him for nine
seconds. When Cross struggled to his
feet he was in a groggy state. and
Richie rushed in TO put him TO sleep,
Cross was knocked down again with
another great right. and remained on
the canvas for nine more seconds. but
after that the New Yorker, although
In a weakened condition, managed to
weather the gale until time was up.
Richie probably failed to stop
Cross In this round because Of undue
excitement and eagerness. But at

WAS not boxing match at any time.
There was so much hard hitting by
both men that they frequently threw
science to the winds and just slugged
for all they were worth. Cross land

time and again, but the Californian
possessed both grit and strength, and
at no time WAS he In distress.
Cross had an advantage in the
fact that he was speedteI in the first
two rounds. Richie was rather slow

These demands cover the rules re-

that such methods do not affect the

The commission also will refuse re-

SAFETY FIRST CAMPAIGN

One of the features of the South
ern Pacific Company's Safety First"
campaign-a campaign to secure the
safety of life and limb of employees
and patrons--is the annual competi-
ton among the eleven divisions of
the Pacific system for the banners
awarded those sending in the largest
number of practicable suggestions
for safety and the elimination of
carelessness and hazardous condi-
tions and practices. The company
has just announced the winners for
1918. They are the San Joaquin
division of the Southern district; the
Coast division of the Central district;
the Shasta division of the Northern
district and the Sacramento, shops.
the latter competing with the other
shops of the entire system.
In it's efforts to promote safety,
the company recognizes the value
of suggestions coming from its
employees, experienced in railroad
work. And the men, themselves,
take great deal of interest in max
ing the suggestions and are unspar-
ing in their efforts to win for their
respective division the place of honor
in the competition.
The banners are awarded in each
district to the division sending the
greatest number of practical safety
suggestions per 100 employees by the
central safety committee, composed
of executive officials and the result
of the contest is in doubt until the
last day when the suggestions re
ceived are checked up.
The company received for the
year ending June 30th, 267S sug-
gestions, 1888 or 81 per cent of which
are practical. The cost of improve
ments made in, this connection
amounted to SAL ,634 .63 with pending
expenditures for adopted sugges-
tions, approximating the cost of the
uncompleted work at $85, 900.

OUR AGRICULTURAL NEEDS

! The following article, which ap-
peared recently in the Phoenix
Gazette, may prove very interesting
reading for our valley farmers and
i business men:
Our great need is intense farm
ing, says a popular writer. Europe
beats us about so per cent on grain
strffs produced per acre. Even
Russia beats US in raising potatoes.
Tie coming profession is agriculture
and the new discovery the richness
of the soil.
Our government should exercise
its constitutional powers to develop
agriculture-the basic industry. No
other government in the world has
done so little for the farmers. They
need cooperative loans with their
land and crops as security.
Distribute our more than i,000,-
600 IL year immigrants on the soil;
60 per cent now go into the cities.
Many take their earnings to Europe
$500, 100000 a year--and invest
them in lands there; money that
should be invested and developed
here.
! We Americans have no market
system. Valuable stuff wastes with
in few miles of our great cities.
In our distributing methods we are
behind all other civilized nations.
The high cost of selling makes
living high. The farmer gets 40
cents bushel for his beans, on
which he pays 10 cents commission
to sell them and in some places he
pays 25 cents bushel to pick them.
The consumer pays 15 cents quart
or $4 80 a busheI. Frequently the
more our farmers sell under our
present system of marketing the
worse they are off.
Lack of sense in buying, lack of
scientific knowledge how to cook,
the telephone, credit, delivery.
package goods, false weights, ali
these help to make high prices.
In New York, for instance, from
the time an egg lands at the rail-
way and gets on the breakfast table
eight men have handled the egg
and made a profit out of it. II the
consumer wants to lower the cost of
living he must cooperate with the
farmer.
There is great economic waste
where SIX gr0cers or six mlikmen
are delivering goods in one block.
For potatoes used in New York
city last year the farmers got So, ,437,-
600 tut the people paid $50, 900, 900.
Out of every dollar we spend today
for food the producer gets 35 cents,
the railroad 7 cents and the series
of middemen So certs.

FORAGE PLANTS

The Albuquerque Office of the
Forest Service has caused a colec-
tion and Identification of ABOUT six
hundred forage plants growing on
the national forest range of New
Mexico and Arizona. Thirty entire
ly new species have been discovered.
The collection has been made Incl
dentally by the forest rangers as
they have gone about their regular
duties. The plant specimens are on
file in the Forest Service office,
where they may be examined by any
one interested in this work.
The purpose in identifying the
forage plants of the national forests
is for the assistance it will be in
studying the range with a view of
increasing its carrying capacity.
Knowing the manner and time of
seed maturity of the various plants
enables the forest officers to so direct
the handling of stock that the great
est amount of natural reseeding can
take place each year.
Certain grasses occurring in pre-
dominance at certain attitudes must
be grazed early; others must be
grazed late. The Towering plants
can be grazed to the best advantage
from midsummer to the season of
frOsts.

was difference of only four-tenths

difference in favor of the creamery.

samples, SO and 3.S per cent butter
fat.
From these results he was per-
fectly satisfied that he was not only
getting square deal from the
creamery. but was getting all that
he could possibly expect from the
product of his milk.
If he had any doubts in the mat
ter, they were swept aside when he
received the following letter from
a prominent dairyman in the Salt
River valley, in answer to one
from him containing the results Of
the different tests:
MESA, ARIz., Nov. 13, 1918.
MR.. AL GRAY,
Stafford, Ariz.
DEAR FRIEND.-Your letter and
creamery statements just received.
Il note that the test given is
extra good-going as high as AS,
and rarely less than 4. The price
is better than l had supposed they
paid for making into butter. The
price of Sc cents is S1.44 per hundred
for 4 per cent milk. Twenty-eight
cents for butter fat is SLIP for for 4
per cent milk.
i believe these prices are a little
better than the Mesa creamery has
heretofore done. The price here is
sometimes less than $1.00. Only
last year the price went as low as
72 cents. We used to think we
would never want anything better
than rs cents in summer and $1.00
in winter. Your statements show
that you get from SLIP to $1.44.
You have good cows--they milk
well when they have a chance and
they test higher than the average.
Yours truly,
ID. D. SMITH"
Mr.. Gray believes that the dairy
business can be made a success if
our farmers will only show the prop.
er spirit and cooperate with the
local creamery. He has found out
that the local creamery has always
paid the highest prices, and If the
cows were fne-blooded stock, good
rich milk averaging per cent but
ter fat, there could be no better
business for the farmers to be
engaged in.

SANITATION OF Stafford

, In an interview with one Of our
| prominent citizens, who attended
the banquet Of the Civic Improve
ment League and was very much
interested in the different talks on
betterments for our town, we asked
the question: What is best for the
sanitation of Safford?" Th. follow
ing answer was made:
1t is well to speak of sewage
system, electric lights and other in-
provements, but first Of plI let us
consider the house fv. Would it
not be better to destroy breeding
places? The most common Of which
are W, barnyards with its deiecta;
~, the careless disposition of gar
bage; 81. lack of proper screens,
especially where the sick, suffering
from contagious or infectious dis
eases, are confined; (4), the made
quate quarantine of contagious and
Infectious diseases; (5), unclean
milk supply; (6). cess pools, etc.
Diseases, such as Malta fever, are
transmitted by the fly, especially in
unclean goat corrals. Also lump
jaw, or actinomycosis, of lower
animals.
Garbage thrown out of kitchen
doors breeds the fly; garbage, there
fore, should be kept in covered gal
vanized cans and properly destroyed.
The flies swarm about the sick
suffering from typhoid and other
contagious diseases, carrying the
germs on their feet, especially when
in contact with excreta.
The health officer should be en-
powered to keep all children from
school at least four weeks after con-
valescence is established, where one
member of the family is suffering
from such disease. The bread earn
ing parent should not go into the
sick room or be in contact with
those who nurse the sick, who should
be isolated in one corner room of
the house, properly protected from
other parts of the residence.
Ranchers who help nurse some
member of the family suffering from
typhoid fever, should not milk the
cow or handle the milk at all, unless
same is pasteurized properly, be-
cause few germs, unseen, may in
feet the milk, where they multiply
by the millions over night, thus
causing typhoid epidemics.
Cess pools draining into wells are
a common source of typhoid fever,
especially if dejecta is not steriIized
before empyting into cess pools.
The old adage that cleanliness
is next to Godliness, in our mod
ern time and day may be changed
to cleanliness is GodIiness.'
Hotels and public drinking foun-
tains should steriize all dishes,
spoons and glasses by boiling in
water to prevent spread of tubercu-
losis and other contagious diseases. ="
