PRICE MAINTENANCE

One of the big subjects the United States government proposes to deter mine is that permitting the manufac- turer to fix his price upon goods that is to say, is he going to be enabled to tell the retailer just what an article must be sold for?
 The department stores are among the most conspicuous among the price cutters, and people walk for blocks past the small shops in order to patronize the great merchants whose establishments spread over acres of floor space.
 The theory prevails in the govern ment that this is not a beneficial sys- tenn, and that better results will obtain for the merchants and the public at large if price-cutting is made unlaw- ful. It is well known that most Of the advertising to the effect that at special sales" goods are "so1d below cost is untrue on it's very face.

: dailies are filled with the wonderful opportunities ahead of us as a na- tion. The ascendency of the United States to world predominating power is hailed from all sides as an accomplished, fact We are pictured by the optimists as nation at peace with the world and with not a ripple in the skies.
 The possibilities are indeed great provided we approach them with some degree of wisdom.
 We must not expect foreign govern ments to quietly submit to our ab- sorption of their commerce. They will unquestionably seek means for regain ing that which they have lost and we have gained, possibly even to the extent of involving us in war in an endeavor to cripple us.
 And there lies our menace.
 We are not in position to face such war. We have neither the guns nor the ammunition for equipping a large army such as would be required for repelling an invasion by first-class power.
 Foreign governments can place mil lions of troops in the field; but we can arm and equip only a few hun dred thousands
 Is it reasonable to sunroro that these governments would submit to the loss of their commerce without striking back?
 If we are to build up a merchant marine we must have the means of protecting it once it is afloat.
 We do not need a large standing army, but we do need guns and am- intuition for use in emergency, for without these we would be helpless.
 Congress should supply arms and equipment sufficient for least a mil lion men, for with a less number than this we would have no assurance whatever of safety.
 Our trade expansion might even prove the boomerang that would event ually plunge us into long and costly war

WHEAT IN ARIZONA AND
 ILLINOIS

An interesting comparison of wheat yieds in Illinois and Arizona is af- forded by the following: At the Uni versity of Illinois farm this year the lowest yield of wheat per acre was 1S.4 bushels;; the highest yield was 5O.63 bushels This report from the Illinois Agricultural Experiment Sta tion concludes by telling the farmers that they must apply rock phosphate to grow his crops of wheat.
 At the Yuma farm of the University of Arizona Agricultural Experiment Station the lowest yield of wheat per acre wcs 23 bushels from a non-accli- matized Blue Stem variety from North Dakota. The highest yield was 65.6 bushels per acre from California Club wheat Bread wheats yielded from 27 to 65 bushels per acre. These wheats were grown on plats to which no fertilizer has ever been added
 The conclusion drawn from these results is that Arizona soils do NOT need rock phosphate or any other mineral fertilizer. Corral manure, le- guminous and other green manure crops plowed under will increase the yields by adding humus and improv- ing the mechanical conditions of the soil. It is organic matter in which Arizona soils are most deficient.

OPPOSES HIS DAD

There is one sensible lad who has profited by his experiences in Wash ington. The story is told that your Robert Hensley, the eight year old son of Representative Hensley of Missouri, is campaigning against his father. To get a full picture of this treacherous political work on the part of the junior Hensley, you must know that he is eight years old, slender, bright of face and with a great shock of dark hair which sweeps almost into his flahsing eyes.
 No, indeed, I don't want daddy to come back to Congress-" is his at titude. q don't want to live any more in Washington. I want to be back in the country.
 My uncle has a farm in Missouri and all the COWS and horses he wants.

EFFECT OF THE WAR ON
 ARIZONA

There can be no doubt but that the war in Europe will result in deeper poverty and greater hardships than before for the peasants of the Old World.
 pr. A. E. Vinson of the University of Arizona Agricultural Experiment Station, is authority for the state ment that many substantial families in Ohio emigrated from Germany be- cause of their recollection of the ter TOTS of the Napoleonic wars. The psy- chological effect of the present war will be even more potent in turning hoards of industrious tillers of the soil to seek homes in the New World. With the opening of the Panama Canal much of this influx of popula- tion will seek the West Coast. Land values in California will advance, and Californians, together with new set tiers, will seek cheaper farms inland
 If Arizona is to profit by this ad- justment, every agricultural deveop- ment must be. quickened, so that farms and homes will bbe ready for the new corners.

WORTHLESS TREATIES

Speaking before the Connecticut State Progressive Convention, Colonel Roosevelt said:
 Within a fortnight we have had fresh proof of the utter worthlessness of treaties, of names signed to pieces of paper, unless. backed by force, if power or interest demands their viola tion This fact has been demonstrat- ed again and again within the last doz- en years by almost every one of the great nations who are now engaged in this war.

 q didn't want to come here any how. Every time I see any body from our district ask him not to vote for daddy next time."
 All of which is verified by Repre- sentative Hensley himself.
