"THE slLos OF cocHisEo


 For the past has acted entirely unwarrantod and highly pernicious meddier we rise to rebuSe esteemed contemporary the Arizona Republican for vealng a Cochise county blind pig" that promised to provide welcome nepenthe against those drab says brought upon us by the adoption of the prohibition amendment We refer to neighbors mcaledfor editorial concerning the "snos of Cocbise"
 While the enthusiasm expressed by the dry" votes in Cochise and the equinimity with which results Of the election were received here may well nave conri buted to a suspicion that held liquid up our sleeve there nooccasion for mpernent neighbors to come snffng around our harmlessa appearing sios t was sheer malicousness in them raising their sensi- tive noses in the air and proclaiming that they had treed a coon We now admit the necessity of coming down" but we do it with ill grace. Reluctantly, we re- publish the harsh words used by the Republican in ez posing us, as follows:
 For many years agricultural papers have been od- vsing farmers to construct and in most advanced agricultural communities these receptaces for the stor ing of green crops for future numerous suea crops are pressed down tightly and kept depressed by heavy weights Fermentation naturally ensucs and a fermented liquor settles in the bottom of the s-io
 There are many of these sos in the vicinity Of McNeal in Cochse County. Tho other day the owner of a silo found his hired in possesbion of ias the source of which was at first nexpllcable It was later discovered that the hired had been tapping the silo which had been filled with green corn
 We have no idea what this sio liqucr tastes like but that doesn't really matter People who drink liquor as rule do not care about the taste. Most of then agree Chat the tastes of the various liquors differ on in degrees of viIeness They drink it in spite of it taste
 But this is no laughing matter. IL might be but 10 the complication 1t throws about tine prohibition amend ment or the complication the amendment throws abou tbe sIo industry. intoxicating liquors shall not b manufactured in or introduced into tho state of Arzon under any pretense" We trust that there may be sue a reconciliation of the terms of the amendment wit the preservation of green forage that the slos may nc come under prescription
 Indeed. it is "no laughing matter" There's no tel ing what complications may ensue as result of tn publicity thrown upon supposedly innoeuous slo Maybe the white rbboners will swoop down upon tne in campaign of ruthless destruction! Maybe the p tient and productive COW will die of broken hea when her ensilere allowance is cut off! It is not d ec,lt to coniure up host of misfortunes that may n low be inqusitoral cussedness of our contemporary
 Why not have uinked at the situation when he ai secret was guessed? Cochise county has never be successfully accused Of akng in hospitality If urS pcirbbors had come around on visit wisely mak noise like an alfalfa blossom, we would have kho' what they meant In times when prohibition will ha dried the fount of even a raspberry phizz sio m' bal wouldn't have tasted 50 bad Our sanclmoneo neghbor may point the darts of rdicule against slo brew as much as he pleases. It is al very for him to utter the hypocritca trust that there he sueh reconciliation of the terms of the amendm' with the preservation of green forage that the si may not come under prescription
 We in cochse county had an anchor to "ino" before Maricopa exposed us. We hereby consecrate selves to quest of investigation to learn how Marie plans to get hers and when we find our we VIII O' forth our discovery the wide wide world
