HUNT CLAIMS ID HAVE
 CARD UP HIS SLEEVE

Phoenix, October 26th.-Governo George w. P. Hunt, upon his return yesterday from the dedication exer- cises of the Antelope hill bridge, was asked for a statement bearing on his attitude toward the recall petition, and said:
 q was notified Sunday, while in Yuma, by the newspaper men that such petition had been started. While l have not yet thoroughly in- vestigated the matter at this time, yet l can say that l am glad to know that the recall proceedings do not repre- sent general movement upon the part of the voters of the State to dis credit me and my administration, but is only the work of few men who have purely personal reasons for de- string to put me in bad light before such portions of the public as do not understand the situation. l would be false to my oath were l to allow such thing to cause me to waver from the course which my conscience tells me is the best to pursue. I have never, during my administration been responsible for a single act which I did not think was for the good of the State and if these men who are back ing this recall matter think that they can frighten me into doing their bid ding, they are badly mistaken crowd.
 This petition for recall has been gotten up for the express purpose of discrediting my efforts to have Fed eral investigation made of the Clifton situation. understand that the peti- tion charges me with creating State offices, and in other ways dissipating the States funds. l want to say that during my term of office there has only been one office created, and that was done by the State legislature, the only body that can create new office and even then did not sign that par ticular bill, so l fail to see where there can be any truth in their charges of me having created any offices.
 "The charges are all glittering gen eralities, and contain no specific in- stances of any alleged misdemeanor. I have in my possession some import ant documents, which will cast some light on the men who seem to be at the head of this affair, and l am going to make these public-and I think they will make interesting reading. When I have had time to more fully investigate the charges embodied in the petition I will have more to say on the subject"

CLIMBING PRICES

New Jersey voters who cast their ballots for the election of Woodrow Wilson and Democratic candidates for congress three years ago, because they were assured by them from the platform and through the press that their election would mean reduction in the cost of living, have reason to find fault with the men they helped to elect.
 How this promise has been kept, or, rather, unkept. is shown in figures just issued by the state bureau of in- dustrial statistics for the year ending October 31 1914.
 In it's investigation the bureau con sidered fifty articles that are staple, such as flour, sugar, oatmeal, molas- ses, bread, butter, eggs, cheese, tea, coffee, potatoes, beef, pork, fish, rice, corn, prunes, raisins, vinegar, soap and kerosene oil. All necessaries of life that enter into the daily upkeer of the domestic establishment.
 In the price of nineteen of these articles there was a slight decrease In the price of thirty-one, there was a marked increase. The entire list shows an increase during the year

It is hinted that Wilson's recogni- tion of Caranza is due to belief that an inquiry by Congress will thereby be avoided. Vain hope. We do not mean that pressure from the White House may not be successfully applied to prevent the passage of resolution of inquiry. But the right of speech has not yet been cut off at the Capi- tai, and the whole wretched Mexican business will be ventilated. We can imagine, for example, how Senator Fall of New Mexico will be stricken into silence just because Caranza has been recOgnizedl

WILSON'S OPINION

q think the whole nation is con vinced that we ought to be prepared, not for war, but for defense, and very adequately prepared"
 These are President Wilson's words now. They differ materially from his opinion ten months ago. Then he thought the country had been "misin- formed" and that national defense had mot been neglected" Then Wood- row Wilson spoke his real feelings. Now he voices the fears of a candidate for office. Along with "the whole nation," he is convinced.
 "A man convinced against his will
 Is of the same opinion still"

FAIR AT PRESCOTT IS
 A NOTABLE SUCCESS

 Prescott, Arizona, October 26, 1915. With the largest crowds ever gathered at an inter-country fair, beautiful balmy weather, which only Arizona can produce at this time of the year, and exhibits wonderful even to the most skeptical, the Third Annual Northern Arizona Fair was a success in every sense of the word.
 The mineral exhibit, with displays of ores worth thousands of dollars, and specimens from practically every Tive" mine in Northern Arizona pre- sented a word of interest to the hun dreds of visitors. Yavapai and Mo- have's displays were the principal ones, winning first and second prizes. The exhibit made by c. w. Lynch, fair commissioner of Mohave county, attracted special attention.
 Coconino county's exhibit in the Agricultural and Horticultural hall, under the supervision of F. o. Allen, was work of art. The grains and grasses with the Navajo background made one of the prettiest displays at the Fair. Navajo and Yavapai's ex- hibits were also very beautiful. Ma vajo county captured first prize for Irish potatoes and second prize for the largest squash and special white ribbon for Blue Pictor potatoes. In the Educational department, the Winslow exhibit, especially the manu- al training work, showed the splendid training given the children. Coconino county captured forty-three first pri- zes, with many seconds and five spe- cials.
 From an educational standpoint, it is worthy of mention that the North ern Arizona Fair filled that part of it's usefulness to the letter, there be- ing many things of interest for the miners, stockmen, farmers, poultry men and those interested in the educa- tional section. The Poultry Show, perhaps, attracted the greatest crowds. In commenting upon the show, the Maricopa county officials consisting of Messrs. Peabody, Welch and Shaughnessy, stated that never in the history of fair in Arizona has such display been made. A licensed judge of the Panama Pacific exposi- tion judged the birds, there being over 260 coops filled. The Livestock ex- hibit, under the direction of Ed. S+eph-

ems was both interesting and instruct i've. The Baby Contest conducted on scientific principals, saw entered over fifty of the best of Arizona products. Addresses were made by Governor Hunt, President von Kleinsmidt of the University of Arizona and many other notables.
 The entertainment program was varied and full of excitement. With band concerts by the famous Kilties, the Winslow High School Band and the Prescott City Band, carnival, dances, basketball games and many other attractions. It is the general concensus of opinion of those present at the Third Annual Northern Arizona Fair that it was a wonderful success, due to the untiring efforts of Presi- dent R. N. Fredericks and his col leagues.

UNFAMILIAR QUOTATIONS
Alexander Hamilton: 1787.)

lAlexdnQer hamilton. llo.)
 Here l expect we shall be told that the militia of the country is it's natur- al bulwark and would be at all times equal to the national defence. This doctrine, in substance, had like to have lost us our independence. It cost millions to the United States that might have been saved. The facts which, from our. own experience, for bid a reliance of this kind, are too re- cent to permit us to be the dupes of such suggestion. The steady opera tions of war against a regular and disciplined army can only be success fully conducted by force of the same kind. Considerations of economy, not less than of stability and vigour, con firm this position. The American mil itia, in the course of the late war, have by their valour on numerous occasions, erected eternal monuments to their fame; but the bravest of them feel and know that the liberty of their country could not have been estab- lished by their efforts alone, however great and valuable they were. War, like most other things, is a science to be acquired and perfected by dilig- ence, by perseverance, by time, and by practice.

PREPAREDNESS FOR HEALTH

While military preparedness is en- gazing the attention of the entire country, the typhoid epidemic which is raging in Gallup, N. M., suggests that preparedness along sanitary lines goes hand in hand with the mastering of an adequate land defense and the building of powerful navy.
 No definite statement of the num- Der of cases of typhoid in our neigh bor town has been given out, but the epidemic has reached such alarming proportions that the business men have gotten together and subscribed several hundred dollars to secure the services of an expert from the public health department at Washington.
 The death rate from typhoid fever in the cities of this country as com pared with European cities is alarm ing and our neglect of sanitation borders on the criminal. London has a death rate of 3.3%c, while New York has 11.6f6, Washington, D. C., 23.2, Baltimore 42.0Pt, and so on down the list of principal cities.
 Typhoid is a preventable disease, and, although immediate and complete extermination of all typhoid bacilli is impossible, it has been repeatedly proven that we can lessen their num- bers and thereby reduce the number of infectio IS to minimum.
 That typhoid vaccination is sue cess is shown in the statistics of the U. S. Army. The Seventh Army Corps, consisting of 10,759 men, was located at Jacksonville in 1898; none were given vaccine and 41fc were stricken with typhoid. The U. S. has 12,S0l men at San Antonio, Texas; all given vaccine and none stricken.
 The following are few rules sug- gested by the Arizona Board of Health for preventing typhoid fever:
 For the individual:
 1. Keep away from all known or suspected cases of typhoid.
 2. Wash hands thoroughly before meals. Do not use roller towels"
 3. Use drinking-water only from sources known to be pure, or if this is not possible, use water that has been purified by municipal filtration or by hypochlorite treatment or by boiling in the household.
 i. Avoid bathing in polluted water.
 5. Use pasteurized or boiled, in- stead of raw, milk.
 6. Select and clean vegetables and berries, that are to be eaten raw, with greatest care.
 z. Avoid eating fiat raw oysters and, in general, oysters and other shell-fsh whose origin is not known.
 8. Be vaccinated against typhoid in all cases in which any special ex- posture is known or feared.
 For the community:
 l. Insist on the heaftny coopera- tion of all persons with an efficient health officer.
 2. Require notification and req sonable degree of isolation of every known or suspected typhoid case.
 8. Exercise strict control over the disinfection of known typhoid excreta.
 4. Insist on pure or purified water supplies.
 5. Require pasteurization of milk supplies.
 6. Regard all human excreta as possibly dangerous, and control their disposition in such way as to prevent contamination of food or drink.

PUT 1T OVER THE CENSOR
German Prisoner in France Cleverly
Contrived to Send information
to Home Folks.

According to the Germans, German
prisoners of war in France are not
always cared for as luxuriously as
they might be if they were French
prisoners of war in Germany with no
harder task in hand than the cleaning
of Berlin's streets. They tell of a
certain Hans Schmidt from town in
SaXony who was so unlucky as to be
surprised with his companions on out
post duty and carried off to a French
prison camp. He Jared no better than
many of his cOuntrymen in captivity.
In fact, he Jared very badly. But he
couldn't even try to let his friends at
home know how things were going
for fear of making bad worse. At last,
however, he managed to give hint.
To an inquiry from home as to his
welfare he replied:
1T is just as if l were at home in
our Forest Home"
The French censor could not know
that Forest Home was the name In
Schmidt's part of Saxony for the
prison devoted to the worst criminals.

PROUD OF THE ABILITY TO LIE

it seems to us upside down. In the

A missionary had established a little
church somewhere in the interior, and
put a native preacher In charge while
he visited some other mission points.
When he returned he missed one
young man from the congregation. The
native preacher said they had put him
out of the church.
why, what was the matter? What
did he do?" asked the missionary.
He sole a bamboo rod" returned
the preacher.
Why" answered the missionary, "a
bamboo rod is worth only about ten
cents. Don't you think you were a lit

NO, no." and he shook his head in
dignantly. I'VE can't have thief in
