If anyone has a horse he wants ridden, either in the valley or on jhe range he may be accommodated by applying to Fl North First ave- nue or the bath house at Riverside Park. The wilder and more unride- able the bronco the better it will be and the sooner the animals can be delivered at the park the sooner they will be taken care of. Phone either l0S6 or 1888.

The new road which Iavapai county has built from Kirk land to Congress Junction via Hill- side is worth a million dollars or more, for it cuts out the old Var nell hill nightmare which in years. past has done untold damage to tires, engines and regulations.

But these are unworthy of the name Pythian- ism that implies steadfastness, con- stancy through thick and thin, in good and bad fortune, which Pythian friendship so beautifully exemplifies.

W. Va. Crop Conditions.
The government report says:

NV IT,
IA prolonged drought was broken in
West Virginia in the latter part of July
benefitting growing crops, although
conditions were lower on Aug. 4 than
on July / Wheat was thras{ied under
exceptionally high conditions. A large
apple crop is expected. The Depart
ment estimates that the State of West
Virginia this year will produce 8, 461, :
600 bushels of corn; 3,540,0OO bushels
of wheat; l,601,00o bushels of oats;
246, 600 bushels Of rye; $4,000 bushels
Of buckwheat; 2, $40, 600 bushels of po.
tatoes; 10. 200, 900 pounds of tobacco;
and 637. 900 tons of hay. The apple
crop for 1914 is estimated at 80 per
cent compared with 40 per cent as the
average for the last ten years. The
peach crop is estimated at 65 per cent
compared with As per cent IS the aver
age for the last ten yeats. The apple
crop of West Virginia is estimated to
be 10, 300. 900 barrels this year, about
the same as in 1912, but more than ten
times the crop of last year. The esti-
mates of the size of the various crops
and the prices which may be expected
shows an agricultural production in
West Virginia this year, even with
very bad crops, valued at about $50, :

Ship Subsidies Again.

.
Some months ago we were-call-
ed to task by tile West Union
Record, which essays the role Of
-GustoS Mores for the press of West
reimbursement less object
ionably of late than heretofore
as advocating ship subsidies in
the sinister meaning of the term.
AT that time we refuted the
contention that proper foster
ing of the merchant marine by.
subsidy, in the real sense of the
word, in contradistinction to the
general meaning it has been Civ,
en- as a result of the attempts of
special interests to use the peo-
pies money for their own selfish
purposes, was not only right, but
fundamentally Democratic.
This claim seems to be vindi-
Gated by the recent trend of
events and the wise and patriotic
action of the administration in
meeting the emergencies of the
European war.
When the Congress-to the
credit of our Republican friends,
be it said, who showed themselves
to be patriots rather than parti-
zanS in national crisis with
practical unanmity adopted the
Presidents suggestion of regis
tering foreign-built vesselsunder
the American flag, it took the
first step towards reestablishing
the supremacy of our merchant
marine, and thereby expanding
the commerce of the nation.
And when a fund of ten mill
lions of dollars was appropriated
to provide governmental marine

3tainable, was not that subsidy !"

A Standard Pack of Apples.

Growers have heretofore been
handicapped by reason of uncer-
tainty as to what constituted a
fair barrel pack for apples.
The results OF, this uncertainty
were misunderstanding and
chickering's between grower and
receiver, often with resultant
mutual distrust and charges of
unfair dealing on. either or both
sides.
Happily there is now no reason
for a continuance of such condi-
tions. Under w(4at is known as
the Sulzer Bill, the United States
Government has specified the No.
/ and No. 2 Standard U. S. Pack.
The requirements are reasof1a-
BILE and easily understood. No UNI
'attainable specifications are laid
down, and the orchardist the
fniddleman and the consumer can
henceforth if they choose, for
the adoption of the u. S. Stand
ard is entirely optional--proceed to
business with implicit confidence
that under government specif-
cations even and exact justice will
be done to all. Apple growers
who want to get the most money
out of their crop, should adopt
this standard, which will add
much to the value of their pro-
duct both in domestic and export
markets.
AS will be noted from an exam
nation of the bill, those who
comply with the specifications
will get the immense, advantage
of a tacit government endorse
n1ent of each barrel Of apples
packed to conform to the Federal
requirements.
And BY the same token, those
who deliberately false pack their
fruit will be assessed in a penalty
to make them sit up and take no.
tice in. future. Under existing
conditions the advantage of ship
ping under the U. S. standard
brand is we'll nigh incalculab1e,
and progressive growers will be
almost unit In its adoption for
this seasons business.

Peach Deal At Its Flush

The peach movement from Hamp-
shire Hardy, Grant and other West
Virginia counties, along the mount ain
slopes of the eastern panhandle, is on
il earnest. WhiIe.it was heavy during
second week in August, it was much
greater during the past week, and the
record Of that period will hardly be
surpassed from now on. Thousands of
carriers of the finest Elbertas ever
produced in the Romney section went
out to the eastern and middle western
markets. On Friday there were %
solid carloads off the Romney branch
by freight, and 10 others were handled
by express. Monday 'ssshipments were
still heavier, and each day during the
week saw big movement.
This is the first big season for peach
es in that part of West Virginia, as
thousands of trees are now bearing in
good quantities for the first time. Peo-
die who have spent all their lives in the.
noun tains and valleys and along the
hillsides never before witnessed such
busy scenes as are daily enacted in the
orchards. It was impossible to get
anywhere near enough labor at home,
and the large orchard corporations are
employing skilled pickers and packers
from Georgia and other States noted
for. their peaches. Good wages are
paid to all. the pay differing according
to the class of work DONE. and practi.
cally everyone is feeling the good eff
fects of the great peach crop in the

Above Partisan Politics.

The Pittsburgh Gazette Times, =
standpat Republican paper published
by U. S. Senator George T. Oliver, of
Pennsylvania, pays the President this
generous tribute:
President Wilson's personal appeal
to bis "fellow countrymen" to preserve
strict neutrality in speech and conduct
is timely in its proclamation and admir-
able in its tone and purpose. In es-
sence it is reminder that this country
of ours is America, grand fact which
appears to have escaped the minds of
some who would supplement the conti-
mental conflict across the Atlantic by
.instigating controversies between ma
tives of the countries now at war. Nee
essariiy there are varying .sympathies
and hopes-it would. be unnatural if
there were not-but the future of ev-
cry naturalizod son of Great Britain,
of Germany, of Russia, of France, of
Austria Hungary. of Belgium, and Of
Servia in the United States is bound
up with the people of the United
States, and not with the powers
of Europe. To all such, as we'll as to ma
tive born Americans, the President re-
marks that the moral EFFECT of the
war upon the United States will depend
upon what the American people say
and do
President Wilson's proclamation des-
erves to be read by every thefightful
man and woman, and it should be trans
lated into the tongues of those people
of the United States who ''are drawn
from many nations, and chiefly from
the nations now at war;
In large way. whether there be i'm
plicit confidence in the Democratic
party or not, President Wilson should
be trusted to steer the American ship

perils OF Enrope's gigantic embroil-
meDty Let US not forget that, much
as game was made of his policy of
watchful waiting" with regard to
Mexico, it is nowalmost universally
conceded that that proved to be the
wise course. Imagine US at war with
Mexico at this juncture, with Europe
in the death grapple of the centuries!
And if the President, as he must be, is
relied upon to see US safely as nation
through the complications Of an inter
national strife which touches US in our
fortunes and estate, and in our person
al comfort and prosperity, surely he
may be needed when he makes such an
extraordinary appeal for the restraints
of prudence in our speech and conduct
