CANDIDATE FOR OFFICE
Miss Purdum Seeks Nomination
for School Superintendent

Miss Lucy H. Purdum. of Morenci,
has announced her candidacy for the
county superintendency, subject to
the democratic primaries.
Miss Purdum has long been
teacher in this section, having come
to Morenci ten years ago. She was
also principal of schools in Stafford
for three years.
She has taught all grades, but is
at present the English teacher in
the Morenci High School. She car.
ries a life diploma from the State
of Arizona and her many friends in
Greenlee county believe that she is
thoroughly fitted to reflect credit
on the position to which she aspires.
In response to question as to
what her policies would be if elected,
Miss Purdum stated that her only
platform will be TO work for the
best interests of the schools Of
Greenlee county without regard TO
politics." and that is a mighty good
platform. for IL there is any one

sixty.five artesian wells, some flow
ing over 400 gallons per minute.
The temperature of the water ranges
from 60 to 104 degrees. The best
flow of water is secured at depth
of $50 feet Fine land and plenty
of water for irrigation will make a

LIGHT UP STORE WINDOWS

The merchants Of Stafford ought
to be alive to the importance of
having their show windows well
lighted at night.
II is during the evening hours
when the windows are lighted that
the people are attracted to the dis
play Of goods in the store windows.
Artisticslly draped windows are con.
sidered good drawing cards for bust
ness and those windows with good
displays and well lighted, are the
ones at which people stop at night
when on their way home from church
or theatre.
Stafford merchants have never had
the opportunity to attract business
in this way until the electric light
plant was installed. Why not let
the people see the enterprise of our
merchants in making our business
street attractive at night.
The electric light company Is do.
ing more than its share In lighting
up the town. Each night 1t Is Civ
ing free to the town over 1000
candle power on the strings Of lights
on Tenth street. II our merchants
would keep their windows lighted
up for several hours each night, It
would help wonderfully in making
the principal business street Of the

The registers and receivers of u.

amendment of paragraphs IL and Is
of the Desert Land Regulations, as
follows:

the use of sufficient water to irrigate
and reclaim the whole of the land
entered or as much of it as is sus-
ceptible of irrigation. Therefore

demonstrated that water can be
conserved in sufficient quantity and
conveyed to the land. does not meet
the requirements of the law. and
the declaration shall be rejected by
the register and receiver, subject to
the usual right of appeal. If appli-
cant proposes to appropriate water
for the irrigation of the land claimed
by him, he must file with his de-
record evidence of his
notice of appropriation under apple
able State laws. In case he proposes
to procure water through an irriga-
tion district. corporation. or an
association, record evidence of a
contract for water must accompany
his declaration, or if no contract can
he obtained prior to entry some
assurance from responsible
officials of such district, corporation,
or association having either a pro-
posed irrigation scheme. one under
construction, or one completed that.
If entry be allowed, applicant will be
able to procure from that source the
necessary water to irrigate and re-
claim the land described in the dec
Iaration.

Iaration with the register and re

The Frisco scandal, the Rock Is
land exploitation, the Alton lootipg,
the almost ruin of the New Haven,
have all been wrought by the un,
controlled issue of securities for

finance have more shaken railroad
credit, and now more interfere with
finding capital for development, than

complaint is made.

APRIL II. 1914
PRIMARY ELECTION

The primary election will be held
on Friday, April Gath. Three tickets
are in the field: The Taxpayers
the Citizens and the Independent.
On the latter ticket. Charles Kreuger
has the entire ballot to himself. he
being candidate for street COM
missioner.
The Taxpayers ticket was the
first In the field and was selected at
q called meeting of the citizens of
the town. The Citizens ticket.
was selected later at another meet
ing. providing for an opposition
ticket.
The Citizens ticket might be
named the Dry Ticket" il it were
not for the fact that several Vets
predominate as its candidates. 1t
is funny. too, when you think of il
being a DRY Ticket" when it is
really dry and wet in spots.'
The GUARDIAN hopes that the
coming town election will be carried
out with the intention of electing a
progressive business administration,
men who have the interests of the
town at heart and who will look
after the business of the town as If
it were their own. The injection
Of the dry and wet" issue into the
campaign will tend to keep alive the
very things that are sure to work
more harm than good for the town
and really have no place in the elec.
ton.
The primary election should re-
suit in giving the people two tickets
that will bring out every vote, in
which case there will be no doubt
but that the progressive people Of
the town will decide the matter in
q most emphatic way at the town
election next month.
