ASHURST SEEKS SECOND TERM
 IN SENATE
Reported Candidacy of Cover nor Hunt Will Have No Ef- feet Upon Aspirations of Henry Fountain Ashurst

'I have heard the reports that Gov ernor Hunt might become a candidate for the senate. but that win have no effect whatever upon my own candi- dacy,' declared United States Senator Henry F. Ashurst yesterday afternoon. when questioned by Review reporter at the Copper Queen Hotel where the . Senator is staying during his brief visit in Bisbee Senator Ashurst made the above statement with vigorous eul- phasis which didn't leave the vestige of a doubt as to his absolute sincerity.
 But would like to have it made clear that ! am not on this trip for political purposes My present jour ney over the state of Arizona is en- tirely non-poliucal and non-partsan . Of course. ] shall make a fight tor re- election Co the Senate, later Al pres ent, however. ] am just meeting the people trying Co get acquainted with them in a more intimate manner to understand an their needs and condi- tions l want to know them thorough ly and to learn the best means possi- ble for the betterment of their inter- ests."
 Reverting to national politics, Sen ator Ashurst expresses the opinion that the peace pacts between the Re- publicans and the gone-asuay Pro ! gressives will not have reached suffi- cient settlement to prevent the latter from nominating a candidate for the presidency
 "In my opinion the Progressiyes will nominate for president Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana, who, l believe would be glad to receive the nomina- tion," added the Senator
 "Of course, every observant man cannot fail to notice that the Progress 1, ives are returning Co the fold to some extent Yet. there win be a candidate for the presidency on the Progressive ticket Of this l am very certain, in view of the latest information at my command, on this matter"
 However. Senator Asnurst evidently does not think that 1t makes a great - deal of difference what form the op 8 position to the president takes. Th, - Senator is confident and enthu f siastic. over the chances for the re - election of President Wilson and Vice b President Marshall He believes tha f the display of masterful diplomacy b. a President Wilson, with regard to th' r. European crisis, is alone sufficient t' t assure his reelection Added to Chi t he mentions the admirable Mexican y policy of the Chief Executive
 Wilson has shown such high coul

 Said to be Worse Than First

PEKING. April 2S.- With tle new draft of Japanese demands on China now in the hands of the Chinese foreign minister, interest is aroused in the nature of the notifications which Japan has made in the original document. President Yuan Shi Kai and his advisors have carefully examined the demands as amended but no decision has been reached. They will likely be subject to further discussions.

 The Japanese nave alreauy ac' cepted the Chinese proposal re- garding group four. which pro vides that the Chinese govern ment shall not cede or lease to any third power any island, port or harbor along the coast.
 The new draft entirely recon structs group five in a manner which the Chinese representatives declare to be more menacing. It is declared the Japanese are at tempting to designate these as pleadings from China.

Farmers Urged 10 Hold Their Hens.


Each year the poultry belt ex-
tends further south. and it ia
also to be noted that tho quality
is improving.
One of the big poultry de alers
in the South in urging the hold
ings of, hens, says in circular:
Possibly the farmer never
stops to think of the extraya-
gance of disposing of his hens at
this season of the year. 1t looks
good to him to realize go cents
each for his hens. Buff he will
stop to think, he has carried
them through the worst part of
the winter and now they are
just getting ready to lay. From
the first of February till the first
of June is when the farmers
wife reaps the harvest from her
, poultry il she will manage it
right.
just for arguments sake We
will take one hen. You can sell
that hen now, We shall say, for
| about 60c that hen is gone and
you have nothing left, bur the
experience of carrying her.
through the winter at dead
expense.
Take that same hen and per-
NIT her to lay for the months of
February. March, April n d
May. She will lay an average
of 20 eggs per month or six and
two-thirds dozen eggs. Place
the very lowest price of 10 cents
per dozen on them aud you have
reali zed 81 from the hen and
still have the hen left, and at
that time if you should want to
sell her she will bring at least
30 cents, making her total value
about 80. Take 100 hens and
sell them at the present prices
and you will realize only $50,
whereas if you keep them and
give them a fair showing you will
realize approxtna tely $135.
THE farmers Of the West do
not sell their poultry at this
season. They keep the hens for
the eggs

Nothing unusual about that, you

charge was problem. They
decided to write their individual

ROAD TALK.
From Better Roads and Streets)

Where improved roads replace
bad ones. the value of farm lands
abutting and nearby increase to
such an extent that the cost of
the road Improvement is equal
lied. if not exceeded.
With reduced costs of hauling,
profits are increased and the re-
suit is that farms show satisfac-
tory earnings on a higher CAPT
tai value.
It is easy to become a road en-
thusiast after public sentiment
has been made and all the big
rocks shot out of the way Of pro
gress.
We all want good roads but it
takes money to pay for labor
and material. Letus come down
out Of our dreamy clouds and get
to work on plans to get the
money.
The first thing necessary to
bring about the improvement of
roads is to arrange to get the
money. and there is where pub
lie sentiment steps in.
Public sentiment everywhere
demands the early improvement
of our roads and streets and poll
ticians must obey this senti-
ment or get out and g e t
under.
In these days of high prices,
due much to the high cost of
transportation over wagon roads,
better highways are more i'm
portant than ever before.
