WHOLE NATION OF WILD
MEN IN UNITED STATES
San Diego Exposition Finds Vast Area
Where Nothing has Progressed
Since Before Invasion of
Mexico by COrtez In 1917

San Diego, Cal, Jan. 15.-Former
expositions have shown wild men and
women from the Antipodes, but it has
remained for the San Diego EXposi
ton to find a whole nation of wild
men within the borders of the United
States, a whole vast area where moth
| ing has progressed since before the
invasion of Mexico by CorteZ in 1917.
This area is in northeastern Arizona,
and the Santa Fe Railway will cover
ten acres of ground at the Exposition
with as close a copy of this country
as is possible to produce.
This locality is known as the PANT
ed Desert. 1t is a land where no white
man has dared attempt agriculture or
mining, where there is nothing but the
Indian, his ancient civilization un-al-
tered, living in six story houses of
100 rooms without an outside door,
doing the same things in the same
way his forefathers did for centuries
before white man came to America.
Comparatively few white men have
penetrated this district. None has re-
mained there At long intervals
scientist has penetrated the fastness
of the red yellow hills. Indians
emerge from it occasionally but they
invariably return. Their homes are
the identical buildings erected many
centuries ago. Their pottery is the
same, used for the same purpose and
in the same rude manner. Their GUS
toms and tribal law remain unchanged
since when no man knows to the con-
trary. They irrigate small patches of
grain just as did their forefathers.
The country repels even the hardy
prospector. Trees, except those pet
rified into stone, are not seen. No
two hills are of the same color. The
very rocks are variegated in hue. The

SUNDAY LIVERY STABLE
is VIOLATION OF LAW
Attorney General Moose Declares that
Running Livery Stables on Sab
bath is not in Accordance
With the Law of State

In response to request by Mayor
James F. Olson of Cotton Plant for an
opinion on the subject, Attorney Gen.
eral Moose has advised him that it
is against the law to keep open liv-
cry stable on Sunday. He cites sew
eral authorities, and concludes:
From these authorities | think it
is fairly clear that the ordinary bust
ness of the livery man, is no more a
work of necessity on the Sabbath day
than any other business. In case of
funeral on the Sabbath the furnish
ing of vehicles, should think, would
be considered work of necessity, and
the liveryman would violate no law in
furnishing such accommodations"

SIX ALDERMEN NECESSARY

In the city of Mena there were six
aldermen, one of whom resigned, some
months ago, and no one has been elect
ed to fill his place. The city council,
with this vacancy in existence, has
been passing ordinances by a vote of
three to two. In an option just rend
cred, Atty. Gen. Moose holds that such
action is not legal or valid. The
vacancy should have been filled by a
srecial election.

Four More States Dry

Chicago-Four of the six states
that voted Tuesday on the extirpation
of saloons decided, according to latest
returns, to forbid the sale Of alcoholic
beverages in future, and two voted to
retain saloons. Ohio and California
kept their saloons, while Washington,
Colorado, Oregon and Arizona closed
theirs. Washington, on first returns,
showed a wet majority, but later re-
turns gave the drys lead, which in
creased heavily. Unofficial returns
from Arizona show that saloons were
voted out. Ohio retained saloons by
a good majority and adopted home
rule amendment that was recognized
as saloon measure. Missouri de-
feated the county unit system of local
option, which precluded the rural vote
on saloons in option elections.

CONGRESSIONAL RESULTS
Republican Reduce Democratic Ma.
jority in Congress

Latest returns from Tuesday cleo
tons indicate that the Democratic ma
jority in the house of representative
for the sixty-fourth congress, will b.
reduced to 23. The probable Demo
cratic majority in the senate will be
Ia.
Democrats have elected 226 mem
bers, Republicans 1872, Progressives 10
and Socialists one. OF the six miss
ing districts, it was estimated We'd
nesday night that the Republicans and
Democrats might elect three each.
Heaviest Republican gains were IL
in NewYork, 10 in Pennsylvania and
8 in Ohio. Progressive representa-
ton in the house was cut from 10 to
9 or 10. This resulted in the collapse
of the Progressive organization
throughout the country except in Cali

INCREASE OF POSTAL SAVINGS
The Foreign Born Citizens Are Heavy
Depositors.

That the foreign born people of thu
United States have pinned their faitl
to the policies of this government ant
have the utmost confidence in Uncl'
Sans stability, is fact looming
large over the general world wal
scare. A heavy percentage of the
population have heretofore made theil
various home countries the depository
of hard-earned cash savings.
At the outbreak of war in Europe
deposits in u. S. postal savings banks
in America amounted to some 43 mil
lion dollars, divided among $4,000 de-
positors. Since that time, and up to
the present, more than 10 million dol
lars have been added to this sum and
the number of postal savings deposit
tors has increased correspondingly,
and is still growing. This faith in u.
S. postal savings banks is not con-
fined to the foreign element alone, as
the total aggregate of these enormous
postal savings deposits is being daily
added to by our home born citizens
those who have heretofore through
distrust of average banks boarded
their money, thus rendering it value
less to themselves as well as useless
to the business needs of their country.
The government postal savings sys-
tenn has practically abolished hiding
or boarding of money in old socks and
other places, and has proven that it
is great boon to the banking institu-
tons as well as to the common people.
The most conservative banks are ca
ger to qualify as repositories of gov
eminent postal savings money, being
quick to see the advantage afforded
by having government guarantee
bring forth from its hiding places
millions in cash to be added to the
general circulating medium, and they
are only too willing to purchase and
deposit with the U. S. treasurer bonds /
necessary to absolutely guarantee all
government postal depositors against
loss of their savings from any cause.
But perhaps the greatest and most
lasting good that will be accomplished
by the postal savings system is the
habit of thrift and industry that its
use is bound to inculcate in the youth
of our land. Boys and girls should
early acquire the habit of saving their
spare dollars to be usefully employed
by them later on, and the government
postal bank is an ideal place for them
to begin this lesson.
The steady growth of our local post
Office deposits, which now amounts to
over $4,000, indicates that many En-
NETT girls and boys are commencing
life right-forming nucleus by
small postal savings for the larger
fortune that is sure to follow in the
wake of thrifty, Industrious habits.

Of this roll Of heroes without being
more heroic. Courage is con-
