card from one of three brothers, sol diers of the German army now fighting in France. The card was sent on August 21 just after the fall of Namur On one side is shown a detachment of Germans escorting three long files of Belgian prisoners.
 The card is written in a cheerful vein. The campaign is described by the writer as what would be called in Eng fish picnic. There had been com paratively little killing and no hard ships to speak of. The writer had been through the fighting before Liege and Namur and he wrote that only six of his regiment had been killed.
 According to the German method of warfare the day is much less than six hours. It is even shorter than the day the syndicalists demand The writer said that one body of troops was never obliged to fight longer than an hour and a half when it would be replaced by fresh body. After the hour and a half stunt the soldier was not likely to be called upon for action the same day. Of course, this schedule is subject to change and serious Arrangement but the writer so far had found the cam paign enjoyable.

GERMAN SOLDIER SAYS WAR IS A PICNIC
The Battle Day Considerably Less Than
 SIX Hours

War is hell all right as General Sher- man once said and it is not made any more heavenly by passing through the hands of the war correspondent or the official bureau or the excited citizen who happens to be caught in the war zone. Though undoubtedly enough soldiers have been killed in the present war to satisfy the war gods, the nilm- Der is probably a great deal less than most people who have been reading the papers think have been slaughtered.

HAGEMAN GETS
 PAIGE AGENCY
General Factory Represen- tative Pounces on c. H. as Live One to Handle New Models of Popular Car

George Hageman, too well known in ther introduction, turned another coup de grace in automobile circles yeSter- day when he closed with P L. Robbins of Detroit, Mich, general southwestern representative of the Paige Detroit Mo tor company, to sell the Paige car in Arizona. MT Robbins has been in the city for a few days looking for live ones to take over the agency, and his eagle gaze bounced upon George Hage- man. who has successfully represented the Franklin car here for years, and who although he also takes the Paige will not relinquish the Franklin. It is claimed for the Paige car by
 it's makers that it is the greatest auto
 mobile value in the entire industry
 The two new models '25' and '36' have
 been spoken of in just such terms by
 some of the best judges of lines and
 equipment in cars. Many of the men
 are fully and thoroughly acquainted
 with the whole field of automobile
 salesmanship and construction and capable of giving accurate criticism of the subject
 The Paige has a splendid reputation in this section where there are many of the cars. That there will be more now that Hageman has taken over the agency goes without saying The new model car sells for $500 fob Phoe- nix. A shipment of them will be in Phoenix within a week or ten days. Then local cardom will sit up and take notice.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MAKING
STUDY OF MISSOURI RIVER

systematic study of Missouri
river and its tributaries is being car
ried on by the United States geolo-
gical survey. Considering the varied
character of the SIRENS of the Mis-
souri, river basin and their great
economic Importance for irrigation,
power, and other purposes, the in
|vestigation is one of the highest i'm
portance. The Missouri proper is
formed in southwestern Montana ~
the junction Of three streams which
were discovered by Lewis and ClG41
in 1906 and were named by them
Jefferson, Madison and Gallatin
rivers. OF these three jefferson river
drains the largest area and Is consid-
cred the continuation of the main
stream. This part Of Montana is
mountainous and affords many ex-
cellent water-power sites. Among the
principal tributaries Of the Missouri
are the Marias, MusseIshel, Yellow
stone, Cheyenne, Platte and Kansas.
Ten states are drained in part by
the Missouri. Rising at the Red
Rock lakes, ut an elevation of 6,7O0
feet above sea level, this stream de-
scends through the Rocky Mountains
and emerges on the broad prairie land
a few miles below the city Of Great
Falls, Mont. From that point it is
accounted navigable stream, with an
easy grade, and in passing through
the Dakotas and along the borders Of
Nebraska, Kansas and Iowa it re-
ceives the flow of great tributaries.
so that as it crosses the state Of Mis-
souri, and joins the Mississippi hort
ditance above st. Louis, it becomes
one Of the large rivers Of the world.
Its total drainage area is about 1922
900 square miles in extent and COM
prises in addition to the states above
mentioned, large areas in Wyoming
and Colorado and smaller area in
the southwestern part Of Minnesota.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 15.-
Chairman Shively of the senate for
eign relations committee said: I'VE
are satisfied that President Wilson
took the only possible course. We will
insist on salute of the flag volun-
tary or under compulsion. The presi-
dent has assured US this will be no
rosewater demonstration but will be

ports have arisen that some other
powers are involved, because so many
ships have been sent to Tampico."
1t is generally believed that Huer-
ia will not salute, preferring to be
driven from the presidency by the
Americans rather than by the reb-
els. If the rebels defeat him, he will
be forever discredited, but if the Am
ericans defeat him he will be assured
Of place in Mexican history.

will be to concentrate the warships

GOOD ROADS URGED
AS AID TO SCHOOLS

WASHINGTON. D. c., April l5.-
Good roads mean good school houses
filled with scholars, bad roads mean
youngsters who can't learn the Three
RS. The proportion run exactly that
way, the department of agriculture
has discovered. A statement issued
today summed up the situation thus:
THAT improved roads would benefit
our country school systems there
would seem to be no doubt. Improved
roads make it possible to consolidate
r centralize scho>ls and to establish
graded schools in the rural districts.
Such schools, centrally located, will
accommodate all the children in rad
ius of from four to five miles. In
many communities having the advan-
tage of improved roads, commodious
buildings have been provided, more
competent teachers have been employ
ed, and modern facilities for teach
ers have been supplied at minimum
cost per pupil. For instance, since
the improvement of the main high
ways in Durham county, N. c., the
number Of school houses have been re-
duced from 65 to AZ, of which II are
graded and have two or more rooms
and employ two or more teachers.
"In five eastern and western states
which have large mileage of i'm
proved roads, the average attendance
of enrolled pupils in 10000 was so
per cent; while in four southern states
and one northwestern state which are
noted for bad roads, the average at
tendance for the same year was Ga per
cent, which means that goods roads
made difference of 16 per cent in
school attendance. In the states first
named, 35 per cent of the roads have
been improved, while in the latter
group Of states only III per cent of
the roads have been improved. There
are at the present time about 2,00c
consolidated rural schools in the Unit
ed States. 1t appears that Massachu-
setts, Ohio and Indina have made the
greatest progress along these lines.
and it is rather significant to note that
in these states about one-third of the
roads have been improved.

grounds in the federal court which is

It's Pretty Soft
Being a Rebel

MEXICO CITY, April 15.-It's fun
being Mexican rebel, when things
go right-and, if you look at things
in certain way. For instance, there's
the city of Durango, which has been
the playground of rebels for eight
months. Suppose all your life you
had lived in dobe house with only
the earth for a floor and pile of
straw for your bed and had always
taken off your hat to rich folks and
were afraid of them and their money
and their palaces; and suppose you
suddenly found yourself in possession
OF large city, with all the mansions
at your disposal, and all the contents
of the mansions, too. What would
you do? Couldn't you get a lot of
fun out of it all?
The rebels are having plenty of fun
in Duyrango-as their kind of fun
goes. The ball that Calizto Contreras
gave in the governors palace-for
Durango was the capital of Mexi-
can state-was a ripping affair. 1t
wasn't fancy dress ball either, but
If more grotesque costumes were ever
shown at ball in all Christendom.
the ingenuity of the society women
who devised them was greater than
the ignorance Of styles and taste
which the women companions of the
rebels displayed at this astounding
affair.
One woman wore an ecclesiastical
robe which, for four decades had COW
cred the statue Of the Virgin del Car
men on the altar Of the great cathe-
dral. It was as If the statue had

The retiring board subscribed to the
following recommendation which
were placed on file:
Believing, as we do, that the in
coming administration will give Farm
ington safe, sane and progressive
government, we, the outgoing board,
commend our successors to you in con-
fidence that their efforts to serve ALL
THE PEOPLE and overcome the
many vexing municipal problems will
have the loyal and cheerful support
of our patriotic citizens.
Of the stewardship rendered the
past two years you the people are
the sole judges. Of whatever mis-
takes made we attempt to shirk no
responsibility. But assure you of our
purposes and ambitions to turn back
to you Greater and Better Farm
ington.
The city water works system is the
most important responsibility, its
maintenance being pertinent and seri-
GUS to the towns prosperity, and we
respectfully suggest that the present
water commissioner be retained. Per-
haps our successors, in their wisdom,
will see the Importance of giving the
commissioner latitude and in defer
ring to his judgment.
We recommend that the office of
city scavenger be created by ordin-
ance, also recommend that public
watering place for stock be installed
Our unswerving loyalty to Farm
!, ington and her best interests prompts
us to drop word of admonition, lest
shoals be encountered upon which
many aspiring and deserving commu-
mites have wrecked. Bigotry and in
tolerance in the individual unit, or
groups of units, of the body polite,
the press, the pulpit, or the various
socities, and petty jealousies should
be scrupulously avoided. Bearing in
mind the constitutional rights guar
anteed to each unit, that adult con-
secrate him or herself intelligently
and militantly to spreading the leaven
Of good will, good fellowship, civic
honor and harmony. May we meet
and discharge responsibilities soberly.
Let character, high ideals, and good
common sense prevail in shaping our
municipal destinies.
So soon as found expedient, we rec
ommend that gymnasium, swimming
pool and decent loafing place be
installed for our young people.
