MANY REFORMS ARE
 NEEDED IN MEXICO

"As soon as the Mexican Consti tutionalists, under the leadership ot General CarranZa obtain complete con trol of the Mexican government, need ed social and economic reforms will be made,' says Modesto c. Roland Mexican Constitutionalist Consul for New York. Senor Hollands statement continues, as follows:
 General Venustiana Carranza has declared recently that he feels abso- lutely obligated to solve the land problem. Carr4nza does not plan to tolerate the evils that grow out of a system which allows a small class of men to own most of the land thus making it impossible for the com mon people to acquire means to earn the things needed to keep body and soul together.
 "The motto Mexico for the Mexi- cans also may be interpreted to mean Mexieos land for Mexico's people!
 General Carranza is firmly con vinced that progress will not be made until the church and stat ehave been separated. The Constitutionalists dc not intend to allow the clericals to remain in control of politics. As soon as we overthrow the church's political power we will reconstruct by another plan which will be more democratic more juts and more humane.
 Our schools will be improved. The hygienic state of the Mexican peoplC will be bettered Our task is to bring the Mexicans up to loftier plane existence"

GOVERNMENT LANDS WILL BE
 GRANTED FRATERNAL SOCIETIES

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 15.- All regularly organized and incorpora ted fraternal organizations would be allowed to obtain tracts of government land for sanitarium purposes for the benefit of their members, under a bill introduced by Representative Baker, of California, now before the house, upon recommendation of the public lands committee. It follows move ment for legislation of this kind that has been carried on by fraternal asso- citations and societies for a number of years. Many bills previously have been introduced on the subject but they were to grant lands to these or ganizations by name while the pending measure is general in scope, permit ting any and all such organizations to obtain tracts for sanitariums.
 The main object of the fraternal or ganization is to obtain, in each case, a sufficiently large tract of land upon which a modern sanitarium may be established in arid, semi-arid or noun tainous states, in a salubrious section where the i'll members of the organiza- tion may be treated and cured, par ticularly in cases of consumption.
 The public lands committee has just reported to the house that there are large tracts of land in the public land states, which are practically use less for individual holdings. The bill permits the secretary of the interior to withdraw or reserve the land ap- piled for, for not exceeding two years. to enable any fraternal organization to investigate and determine the condi tion of the climate, soil water supply facilities and other questions, before obtaining patent Then the organiza ton could get, not exceeding four sec tions of the unoccupied non-mineral arid, semi-arid or mountainous land by placing substantial improvements, the land to be used exclusively for sani tarium purposes and if not so used to revert to the United States.

RADFORD GIVES
 THE HARD FARM FACTS

Peter Radford, national lecturer of the Farmers Educational and Coop erative Union in America, gives the following farm facts: Those who till the soil are the chosen people of God.
 Farming is as old as the human race and is yet in it's infancy.
 Success is bound to come to the farmer who plans while he blows.
 No civilization has ever advanced beyond it's agricultural development.
 No farmer is successful who thinks more of his barn than he does of his home.
 The development of the farmer him. self must precede the full development of the ground he tills.
 The most beautiful fact in the farm CTS work is that everything he plants is a lesson in faith.
 The best farmer does not bother about getting ahead of his neighbor; his great business is to get ahead of himself
 We must give the people who live on the farm the same educational ad- vantages for their children as those of the cities enjoy.
 The country clergy is an agency Of much potentiality because the rural life movement is religious as well as industrial and social.
 There should be a social and an in- dustrial survey of every community. The pastor, the teacher and the school and church officials are they who should make such survey.
 In a recent survey of community in New England, the average annual income of 154 farmers who have a common school education was $229, while the average net income of 122 farmers of the same locality with high school education was $4S2 an nually. This was worth to each farm CT who possessed it $253 each year.

Il PASO WAR NEWS
 IS UNTRUSTWORTHY

Official representative of the MeXi "an ConstitutiOnalists are firm in the statement that editors of American newspapers should pay no attention to news" emanating from Fl Paso Texas. It is alleged that the ''corres pondents" at Fl Paso have no official connection with the Constitutionalists and are in no position to gain reliable information.
 It appears as though interests op- posed to the Mexican Constitutional ists have writers at Fl Paso who are paid to spread lying reports in an eff fort to hurt the cause of the rebels.
 The latest activities of these press writers at El Paso have been confined to an effort to ''prove" that there is a break between Generals Villa and Carranza, the fact of the matter being that the two fighters are in constant communication. Fl Paso correspond ents to the contrary notwithstanding Villa recognizes Carranza as the first chief of the revolution.
 The next issue of this bulletin will treat specifically of the misdoings Of the correspondents at Fl Paso

GERMANS CLAIM THEIR
 CAUSE M|SREPRESENTED

German citizens in the United States have started a publication called the "Fatherland," copy of which the Examiner received to-day, which will be sent to newspapers throughout the United States to try to stop the prejudice against Emperor Williams cause and to show that most of the reports, coming from English and French sources are colored by the citizens of these countries.
 Hugo Muestweberg of Harvard uni versity, contributes an article entitle Flair Play' to the first number, Another article on True Motives of the European Conflagration" is con- tributed by Professor Hermann Schoen field of the department of history in George Washington university. There is an apparent change in public opin- ion as result of this campaign by the German citizens in America. Before the Germans started their publicit, work, public opinion was inclined to hold the German emperor responsible for the war.
 Reports of attacks on Americans in Germany and outrages against Ameri- cons in that country have been proven to be entirely false or grossly exag- gerated. Americans coming out of Germany say that they were treated With the greatest courtesy and this has had it's influence in changing pub lie opinion.

WAR SPIRIT MAY GIVE
 WAY ID PEACE SPIRIT

A draft of army officers are being sent to Europe to watch the manner 2 in which misguided men fight. When it is all over humanity ought to make such a demand for a worlds court that there will be no more reason foI countries going to war in future than for men to engage in street fights, oI for one city to take up arms against another
 To the credit of the United States it may be said that a condition more serious than that which provoked Q war in Europe has been intelligently handled in our affairs with Mexico and the chances are that peace wi ultimately be restored ill that stricker country and our differences with the people of Mexico adjusted. And wh Resident Wilson is to be commended for what he has done in this direction it is interesting to know that his prede cessor in office, Mr. Taft, predicts that the waste in blood and treasure in the European war will be so appalling that it will sober up the leading na- tions of the world and make irresist- ibly for lasting peace.

JAIL ALL WHO RAISE
 PRICES OF FOODSTUFFs

There is no shortage in the food SUD- ply in this country. In fact the war has prevented the shipment of food stuffs to other countries, thereby in creasing the supply on hand. And yet. In the face of this overwhelming fact the men in control of the markets in the large centers of population have been forcing prices up by leaps and bounds, and there appears to be no end to their unsuitable greed. It is no more or less than a case of gouge- hold-up, robbery, the meanest and vilest kind of thievery, because it falls hardest on those who are least able to afford it. It is time for the govern ment to act, and act promptly. Jail the cuses and try them afterWard.

THE PANAMA CANAL
 IS VICTORY OF PEACE

Last Saturday morning the United States steamship Ancon entered the Panama Canal from the waters of the Atlantic and at o'clock in the after noon emerged into the waters of the Pacific.
 In these nine hours history was made which will be repeated by our children's children with interest and pride when the vast war which now shakes trembling Europe to it's base has become only mournful memory.
 This victory of Peace, this triumph of industrial courage and skill, this tremendous achievement of American energy, will be celebrated in distant times and alien tongues as the noble answer of high and fine civilization to the clamorous challenge of War and Waste for the admiration of future ages.
 Let us all soberly thank God that our free institutions and our tremen- dous riches and power find as their ideal of many and splendid acn1ey,- ment, not the slaughter of thousands of our fellow men and the destruction of nations wealth, but the good of mankind, and the progress and the uplift of the whole world.

The latest enterprise in Yuma con- struction circles is the building of huge barge in the Parks plumbing shop. The big boat is the property of MT. Sinclair of the Palo Verde valley, and will be used for freighting purposes on the Colorado. About three weeks or more will be required in the finishing process and several timers are busily employed The boat will be shipped to the Laguna dam, above which it will be launched. The owner is an experienced hand at such trade and feels that the opening is good on account of the scarcity of railroad accommodations in that vii cinity.
