TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Who Is Concerned in the Rural
School .-roblem.

Life depends upon what man gets
out OF the earth. A nation is happy
and prosperous in proportion as it ap-
plies intelligence, industry and wis
dom in the extraction and use of the
earth's resources.
Schools exist to increase intellli-
gencc, to stimulate industry, and TO
apply wisdom.
The basis OF our national life is ag-
riculture. The rural school is near
est agriculture. Through it intelli-
gence concerning agriculture is to be
increased, industry in agriculture
stimulated. and wisdom in rural liv-
ing applied.
How about the rural school?
1t is poorly housed; it is meanly
equipped; it is weakly taught; it is
miserably supported.
1t has the shortest term; it has the
most irregular attendance; the school
life of its pupils ends earliest.
If, then, our national prosperity
depends upon agriculture; if the pro-
duct of agriculture depends upon the
intelligence, industry and wisdom OF
the tillers OF the soil; if that intelli-
gence, industry and wisdom depends
largely upon the rural school: and ii
the rural school is weak and inert;
whom does it concern:

Allies Have More Than a Million

+ New York, Nov. 1.-the following
bits of gossip about the war. current
in London but not printed in the
newspapers. were brought to The
Times by passenger returning on
the steamship New York Yesterday.
Lord Murray, just back from
France brings the information that
the, German forces on the allied front
in France and Belgium number forty
army corps, about 100000 men. This
is less than was generally supposed.
If the computation is correct, the At.
lies, with about 100000 men, must
outnumber the Germans on this front
by. five to three, which speaks very
highly for the Germans.
I'm this connection Englishmen Of
the more intelligent class seriously
deprecate the position taken by sorie
| of the sensational papers of deriding
| and belittling the Germans. II is said
| that Lord Kitchener has sought to
offset this attitude by instructing the
military eye witness to speak OF Ger
man valo: and so forth. In any case
some, OF Eye Witnesses" reGsnt re-
PORTS have paid the enemy due

"The story told as to the real facts
of the cashiering of the two British

papers last week is that they sur
rendered to British troops. 1t appears
they got the impression that their
commands were cut off from the rest
of the British line and completely sur
rounded by a much superior enemy
force, and hoisted the white flag TO

been able to find one charge against
it, the charge which they brought
against the commission firm of E. L.

z|EGLER CHARGE FAILS;
 PLAGUE VICTIM L00sED
Sick Man Admits Accuser is His Common Law Wife; Haworth
 Refuses to Hold Him

Swearing that his accuser is and has been for the past six years his common law wife, under the stat utes of Texas, Carl Ziegler, a former Pnoenician, now in a sanitarium in Prescott has apparently insured his last few hours on this sphere against the attention of Uncle Sams white slave investigators. It was before United States Commissioner Lee Ha- worth that Hon. Wiley Jones brought complaint in behalf of Mrs. Salter, the woman in the case. Haworth yesterday dismissed the charge, re- fusing to bind Ziegler over to the grand jury.
 There was some question raised concerning the ability of the prose- cution to hold Ziegler, in the ab- sence of what is known as the com mercial element in the case. But At torney Tom Flynn assures an in- quiring reporter that this would not ente'. and that it was solely on the basis of the mans deposition con oerning his common law marriage that quashed the charges.
 Mrs. Salter's motive appears to have been to gain a settlement from Zlegier, who is well off. But it hap pens that Zieglers property is in the form of bequest, and is consider ed separate property and that his Wife cannot touch it unless he dies intestate.
 The one result of the admission of Ziegle-. he believes, will be to le- gitimize 17-year-old son, born be- fore each married a number of years ago.

SCHEME ID REBUILD
 THE ROOSEVELT ROAD
Board of Trade Asks United States for S50,O00: Will Work Un-
 employed Miners

The board of trade has taken up the matter Of finding work for the unemployed and at the same time securing something that is needed for central Arizona-the construction or reconstruction of the road between Phoenix and Globe. Last night Pres ident A. L. Moore and Secretary Harry Welch of the board of trade, sent the following telegram to Rep Eesentative Hayden and Senators Smith and Ashurst:
 Situation in Europe has placed large number of copper miners on unemployed list Government spent almost half million building Phoenix and Globe road. Of this about 500. - 900 was donated by Salt River valley towns. It is finest scenic route in America and now needs improving Route is included in Arizona Nation- al park. Here is opportunity for the united States to help with approp-ia- ton fifty thousand for road This would handle problem unemployed miners and at the same time be credit to the nation. All the west is with us. Thousands going to the ex- positions next year will travel this road and applaud wisdom of govern ment. Have amount included in general appropriation bill or rivers and harbors bill at any cost. Nothing will please all Arizona more''
 It is realized by the officials of the board of trade that it is late in the session to be asking for an ap. propriation but it is hoped that it may be included in the emergency legislation which the war has called forth. ~x Hs6hc
