WELCOME, GERMANS!

After this war we shall have II
large German immigration. When
the German soldiers now in the field
return to their homes they will find
their customary industries disrupted
and, in many cases, their families
broken up. Every economic condi-
ton they face will stimulate them
to come to America. In addition,
they will be spurred on by the taste
of adventure and wandering they
will have had in the army. The same
thing happened after the Franco
Prussian war of forty.three years
ago. For some of the best elements
in our population, and some of the
best individuals in our public and
business life, we are indebted to
that conflict. In the same way this
nation will be helped in every respect
by this indirect result of the present
war. We have no better immigrant
than the German. .-Collier's.

NO FOOD IN ALCOHOL

The medical profession has come
to the conclusion that there is no
practical food value in alcohol. The
human body is capable Of oxidizing
about two ounces of alcohol per day,
but, while this process produces
heat, it also destroys the tissues of
the body. The same results are
caused by other poisons, Heat is
produced by the efforts of nature to
rid the body of these poisonous en-
emies.
The life insurance companies give
the same verdict. A number Of
the European life insurance COM
panies make this statement, which
is based upon their records: 7
"A young man, twenty years iof
ago, in good health, who is Total
abstainer from liquor has Life ex-
pectation of forty-faHr- years; the
same Young man, i he be a moder-
ate user of alcoholic liquors, has a
life expectation of only thirty-one
years. The abstainer will live, on
the averafse. to be sixty-four; a
moderate drinker to be ffty-one,
which M ans a loss of thirteen years.

to school children for locating the
largest number Of coc0ons, and,
perhaps, the declaring of a public
holiday for the purpose of commenc-
ing vigorous campaign in this way
may have good resu is.
All c0coOns located should be
kept in screened boxes for the lib
Grafton Of parasites. After these
parasites begin to appear, openings
can he made in the wire screen suf
ticirntiy large to release the benrfi-
Cial insects and prevent the adult
moths from escaping.
There are, therefore. three dis
tinct campaigns which can be waged
against the cottonwood caterpillar:
The first in the winter time before
the moths have matured; the second
after the moths have matured, the
eggs have been laid, and the cater
pillars are beginning to work upon
the foliage of the trees; the third
after the caterpilIars have become
full grown and have spun their
cOcoOns on the loose bark of the
trees, or have left the trees entirely
for the purpose of cOncealing them
selves in protected places about
fences and buildings.
For best results all three of
these methods of attack should be
taken up, so that those insects which
escape one means will stand a good
chance of being destroyed by the
succeeding measure Of control" "
Just now the spray pump and
funds for pursuing the work are not
within our means, but we can do
some work ourselves and help create
public opinion.
| would suggest that we ask the
town council to resurrect the law
requiring people to top old trees
that are badly infested with the
caterpillar and trim out limbs or
burn torches under the webs that
can be reached.
Write to the board of supervisors
drawing their attention to the hot
bed on the grounds of the county
hospital and ask them to allow funds
to clean up the grounds adjacent to
the smaller building on the road.
Ask the teachers to give little
talk to the children on the love of
trees and ask their help in doing
anything towards destroying webs
or cocoons that they might happen
to see around them.
We, on our part, can collect and
burn trash, which is always prolific
source of injurious insect life and
help to keep clean the tree on our
home grounds. Also a tireless agita-
tion of the subject produces results.

TUCSON'S CLAIM TO FAME

rngs OF the University of Arizona
and the El PaSo & Southwestern
passenger station, which has been
declared by railway experts to be
the prettiest and best arranged in
the country. Handsome pictures of
the local churches, clubs and armory
are included.
This edition features Tucson, the
City Beautiful" Everyone knows
about Tucson. 1t has distinguished
itse.f in civic and industrial progress
during the past year. Undoubtedly
this wi he one of the winter play
grounGs which will meet with in
creased favor and patronage by
tourists now that Europe is closed
to them.
The Citizen is issued from its new
plant. 1t is housed in the best ar
ranged newspaper building in the
Southwest, having been built to
order.
The articles accompanying the
cuts deal with every phase of the
cty'S life and business, and have
been carefully and entertaining!y
written.
Tuc5on's speciality is climate. To
show that the article is really Of su
perior quality, it is only necessary
to mention that the Ecair Film
Company makes moving pictures
out of doors every day in the year.
Sunshine that makes good pictures
also makes it pleasant for folks to
live there.
But Tucson has material welfare
as we'll as natural advantages, and
these are admirably set forth in the
Boost and Build edition. Cattle and
mining are its own fields, but even
in agriculture it is making a credit
able start, difficult as the conditions
have in the past been supposed.
If it had no other claims to fame
the fact that the Borderand classic,
that automobile race from Ell Paso
to Phoenix, the capital of Arizona,
passes through, would be enough.
This is one of the famous races of
the country. 1t was first held in
1918, when an average of 80 miles
an hour for SIT miles was made by
j. j. Newkirk. 1t is predicted that
35 miles an hour average speed will
be made this year.

which will end here at o'clock this

operation.
The Lincoln Highway association
wanted to prove to the nation that it
was possible Ito drive every FOOT Of
the Lincoln highway on any specified
date-to show that the great route
was really open to through traffic even
now. The idea of a transcontinental
run was suggested and was put UP to
the many Lincoln highway consuls
and friends along it's $500 miles of
length, with the result that they i'm
mediately fell in with the idea and
more than enough volunteers were at
once secured in every locality to make
the great stunt practical.
More than forty men were selected
to drive portions of the route today.
Many Of them had to endure hard
ships, the weather being none too mild
in many sections. They were willing
to be put to trouble and expense to
help the association in any project
which they believe will advance the
cause of the Lincoln highway and re-
suit in it's early completion
And these men are not professional
drivers, Injured to hardship, they are
bankers, doctors, clergymen, and bus
mess men of all kinds.
