The New Government of Vera Cruz

Annoying the dilatory peace maneuvers are there is one spot that will be blessed by their pro longaton. That is Vera Cruz, which is already in enjoyment of some measure of American govern ment We have not yet heard of the opinion of IL entertained by the Mexican residents that city, but undoubtedly they must compare it to it's advantage with the shiftless, corrupt and unjust government of the Mexican regime The residents expected thlt the occupation of Vera by the Americans there would be of footing and throat cutting and wholesale executions such usually follow the capture of Mexican town by a hostile Mexican faction. Nothing of the sort has happened. On the contrary the city is orderly and life and property are more secure than before
 What sanitary measures have been instituted by the Americans we have not heard but perhaps none except such armies always institute for their self preservation. But such measures should be object lesson the intelligent resi- dents of Vera Cruz. If it should appear that we may remain in possession of the city for con siderable time sanitation extensive scale would probably be undertaken.
 The lack of sanitation has rendered Vera Cruz particularly unhealthy spot Yellow fever is regular and frequent vistant. Dysentery and other vrulent diseases which flourish in tropical and semi tropical climates prevalent there. A few months under Colonel William Gorgas, who per formed miracles in the Panama Canal no less wonderful than the great miracle performed by Colonel Goethas, would be worth much to Vera Cruz It would offset any indemnity that Mex ico might have pay and any humiliation 1t has suffered The same transformation would occur there that was wrought in Havana, Manila and every other and locality that the Americans have occupied temporarily permanently
 Vera Cruz and all Mexico in the end would be the gainer from the invasion if it only lasts lons enough And if it should last long enough the Mexicans might be brought believe that there is something better and dearer than that "soyer- eighty of which General Villa speaks An inter national line importance than the highest interests of humanity

The New Memorial Day

The miembers of J, w. Owen Post, G. A. R. have started a movement to give a broader and truer significance to Memorial day than that which has attached to it of late years. Perhaps it is better to say that the movement is for the purpose of ceased to be Memorial day in the sense that it's founders designed. It has become only memorial of sacrifices and hardships of the dwindling few who endured them. The lesson of patriotism which it was intended should be taught those who were young to take part in the civil war and those who were yet upon the scene has been temporarily lost The veterans themselves needed no such day. It was instituted for them Their patriotism could not flag and the memory of the them
 If it merely day for the glorification of the veterans it would pass away and take it's place among the forgotten holidays It would be better far that it had never been established to become another date for games and prize fights
 We hope that the movement for the restora- ton the original significance of the day may spread the that the interest of the young and of all citizens everywhere will listed in the celebration of Decoration day. and tat the day will descend through all generations the day when the nation shall renew it's strength; that public sentiment shall forbid it's dissertation by prize fight promoters that it shall be held sacred, com memorative, not a struggle in which certain Americans were victorious other Americans, but of the devotion of all Americans to what they believed be the right God gave them to see the right

Eagle Editor Makes Investigation and Finds
That Work Has Actually Begun Trolley
Poles Have All Been Purchased---
Contract Signed for Complete
Power Pant--Negotiation
Under Way for Cars and
Other Equipment.

Since the publication of the article
from the people of the College on the
interurban situation on Thursday af-
ternoon the editor OF The Eagle has
been making a quiet investigation to
see just how matters stand and what
the actual. conditions are. In a talk
with Mr.. Gammill, general manager
OF the interurban, he stated he re-
gretted as much as anybody, and more
so because of his position. that condi
tions are as they are now and have
been for some time. He stated frankly
that his equipment was run down, but
that he had been using every effort to
keep 1t up and had given the best
service he could under the circum-
stances.
He regretted the spirit displayed by
the people of College in asking the
Railroad Commission to force him to
abandon the road entirely, and says
that he had sometime ago conferred
with the president pro tempore and
with Mr.. Gushing. chairman OF the
board OF directors, telling them the
exact conditions, and laying before
them his plans for the future. which
plans Included the electrification OF
the road.
He was convinced sometime ago
that electrification was the only RENE
dy and he had hoped to accomplish
this before now. but the prevailing
financial conditions had Just simply
made it impossible, even with the CO.
operation of the Commercial Club.
He has now, however. arranged
matters. and the work of electrified.
ton is actually in progress. and he
hopes to have it completed within a
reasonable time.
Our Investigations showed the fol-
lowing results in the work of electri-
fcation The holes for the trolley
poles have been dug from Dallas
street in the southern part of the city
to Dellwood park.

The entire amount of poles, 400 in
number, have been purchased from the
National Lumber and Creosote Com.
pany OF Texarkana. One car of poles
was shipped as shown by bill of lading
in hands Of MIR. Gammill on April b.
The others are being creosoted and
gotten ready for shipment
On April the power plant for the
interurban was purchased from the
Fairbanks-Morse Engine Company OF
Chicago. This plant consists of one
$50 horse power engine. Diesel type.
directly connected to one 100 k. W.
generator. The contract was signed
in duplicate. Mr.. Gammill retaining
one copy and the other mailed to the
company for approval. The engine
and generator connected are to be
shipped within three weeks. The plant
will be ample for power not only for
the present, but when the college is
doubled in attendance.
We also found that Mr.. Gammill is
negotiating with number of car com
panies for electrically driven cars. and
with various concerns for the other
equipment needed, and he hopes to
have the whole matter of purchases
closed up within short time 1t is
bis intention to push the work OF in
stallation just as rapidly as possible,
and he hopes and expects to have the
electric service in operation within
reasonable time.
Until that is accomplished, however.
he will give the best service he can
with his present equipment. and The
Eagle believes that patience on the
part OF the people for a short time
longer will work out to the best in
terests of all concerned Hasty action
might result in complications that
would delay the real solution of the
matter for a much longer time, than
would be necessary TO accomplish it
by a little further indulgence now.

tree great export staples of the

port values of cigars and leaf tobacco
were only nominal, but the cigar
trade with the United States fell
from the high-record quantity of
ninety million in 1912 to seventy-two
million, and a diminished demand
was indicated in the closing months
of the year.
In the distribution of the years
trade by countries, the import de-
clines were in the oriental rice-pro-
ducing countries. Purchases from
the United States were materially
larger and for the first time
amounted to half the total trade.
Shipments to the United States
amounted to one-third of the total
and the reduced proportion is chiefly
to be explained by the withdrawal
of the American refiner in larger
measure from the sugar trade
sugar shipments to the United States
being but 20 per cent of the total
quantity against 6S per cent in 1912
and 80 per cent in 1911. Increased
export trade to China, Hongkong,
and Japan is shown as the result of
sugar market readjustments incident
to reduced American purchases.

BUSINESS FOR VALLEY

There is a fine opportunity for
some one in this valley to bid on the
contract for hauling freight from
Rice to Ft. Apache. At the pres
ent time the freight to Ft. Apache
is hauled from Holbrook, distance
of 95 miles. The distance from
Rice to Ft. Apache is 62 miles and
over the best mountain road in the
country.
The chance is now open for some
valley man to get this contract and
the freight certainly can be hauled
cheaper for the shorter distance,
Rice to Ft. Apache. If this is &C.
complished it would open up some
good business for the valley.

IMPORTS DECREASE
Foreign Commerce Of Philip.
pine Islands Falls below
Record of 1912

From customs returns received by
the Bureau of Insular Affairs, it ap-
pears that the foreign commerce of
the Philippines for the calendar year
1918 fell materially below that of
the high record of 1912, in both i'm
ports and exports. Total imports
amounted to $53,312, 1856, being
IS, 1856, l65 less than in 1912, but re-
Iief from the rice-famine conditions
of that year was the ruling factor
in this reduced total, which really
indicates fairly satisfactory trade.
Large local production of rice re-
suited in smaller importations of
this staple foodstuff in 1918 than
ever before recorded during Ameri,
can occupation, and imports other
than rice show an aggregate increase
of about a million and half dollars.
Increased trade is shown in cotton
and in iron and steel, and imports
of cotton cloths amounting to So, 49,
1863, were 1897 ,3l6 more than in
1912, while American cloths made
further gains and furnished 73 per
cent Of the total. In very general
increase in the various iron and steel
items, sugar machinery took the
lead with a value of 81, 900, ,495, and
supplies for the reorganization of
the sugar industry on a modern
basis were chiefly from the United
States and Hawaii. In addition to
the smaller rice trade, reduction
in.imports of foodstuffs generally is
feature of the years figures.
Exports amounted to SAT, ,772, 1856,
and reduction in value of $7,01l,-
1872 reflects the continuing effect of
the disastrous drought and typhoons
of 1912 on the leading products of
the islands. Greatly increased prices
compensated in large measure for
a decline in exports of hemp from
1921 long tons to 1928, but the
somewhat higher price of copra was
a small factor against the heavily
reduced production, and a decline of
over 40 per cent in the quantity
marketed was attended by loss of
$4 ,637, TAP in export value. Exports
of sugar were 154,S48 long tons
against l94,962 in 1912, and were
marketed at a reduced price, yield
ing a smaller return by 2,767, ,451.
A sugar crop is now in process of
harvesting that is confidently ex-
pected to surpass all recent records,
while coconut and hemp plantations
are estimated soon to resume normal
production. Thus complete recovery
from the double disaster of drought
and storm seem indicated from the

Inscribed to my dear mother.
On this day He arose from the dead,
Dlspelllng the darkness of night;
By the halo which shone round His head,
Scattering its bright beams of light,
Old Earth to new life was then born,
Casting away its care and sorrow,
Like young bride who would adorn
Herself for glorious morrow.
Ring out the joyful Easter bells,
With their melodious chimes,
Till ev'ry hill and valley swells
With anthems for the Easter times;
Let ev'ry voice burst forth and sing
For the joy He brought to earth,
Till round each happy heart shall cling
The grandeur of His glorious birth.
Rejoice, for He has arisen,
From the lap of the dreary earth,
Bursting the bands of its prison,
Releasing our souls from its dearth.
Let ev'ry dale and woodland ring
With the glorious message fraught,
Till every human heart shall sing
The song which the angels brought.

DIVERSIFIED FARMING

Arizona lends itself to diversified
farming as we'll as any State in the
Union. This fact doubtless will be
proven to the satisfaction and bene.
fit of Arizona farmers when they
learn of the merits and assured
profits attending diversiication.
About twenty years ago some Of
the farmers of Gibson county,
Tenn, decided to turn their atten.
ton to the growing of Strawberries,
tomatoes and small fruits.
Prior to that time Gibson had been
a one-crop country, that crop being
cotton. The farmers are still rails,
ing cotton. 1t is the principal crop,
but strawberries, tomatoes and small
fruits are next in consequence. In
1918 the county produced cotton Ia
the value of $2,l00,000. The value
of its strawberry and truck farm
production was $1,100,000. This
was greater than the corn crop or
the hay crop, or more valuable than
the mules sold or the hogs and cat
tie marketed in l9l3-and Gibson
county is strong in all these lines
of production.
Nearly seven million dollars worth
of products were grown on Gibson
county farms last year and more
