CENSOR HAS AN
AVERSION FOR POETRY

LONDON, Nov. 13.-The English
press censor has a particular aversion
for poetry, and his blue pencil fingers
suspiciously over every rhymed or
metered phrase. apparently in fear
that it may conceal some information
or misinformation of value to the
enemy The first instance OF censor
ial manipulation OF a poetical quota
tion-the deletion of the words ''and
the kings" from phrase OF Kipling's
has been followed by numerous SIM
liar instances. One OF the most anus
ing OF these is described by the Times.
I'VE published yesterday first
hand account OF the fighting at HUI
luch on October IS. In the course of
il our correspondent, describing the
storm OF bombs, shells, gases. and
other means OF destruction whica fell
upon the enemy. was rash enough to
quote Brownings
'Twenty-nine distinct plantations,
One sure, if the other fails
His message was duly submitted
to the censor, who passed it without
material alteration except for the
Browning quotation.
Now we cannot pretend to fathom
the military reasons which rendered
ii indiscrcet to quote the text of
great poem as its author wrote it
Whether the suggestion that our
methods OF destruction numbered
twcnty-nine would give information
to the Germans, or whether strict &C
curacy refused to countenancc the inn
plication that they were so numerous.
or whether too precise a familiarity
with Browning was calculated to de-
press the people OF this country, or to
shake their confidence in the govern
ment-in short, whatever the motive
OF the censor may have been. We can
only record the fact. And the fact is
that the words, 'twcnty-nine distinct
were neatly ruled out and the single
word different inserted instead OF
them. We do not complain. Incl
dents far less trivial and far more
damaging to our national reputation
are daily features of the censorship.

LEAVE TO WIN
SILVER CUP AT FAIR
(From Thursdays Daily)

(From Thursdays Daily.)
Confident that they will bring home
the silver cup offered for the best
county exhibit for the second con-
secutive time, County Commissioner
l. L. Bates, Secretary OF the Chamber
of Commerce Grace Sparkes, Pro
eessor F. B. Wood and John Bianconi
leave today for Phoenix and the State
Fair with carload of exhibits and
decorative materials.
The car contains the best and larg-
est exhibit OF home grown products
ever gotten together by Yavapai
county to be sent to the State Fair
and Bates expects to capture not only
the cup for all time to come but the
$50 offered for the best county ex-
hibit and the $50 offered for the best
decorated and most artistically ar
ranged booth.
The beautiful silver cup which Yav-
apai county won last year and which
has adorned the Chamber of Com
merce rooms for the past twelve
months goes south with the exhibit
and if it can be won again it will be
Yavapai's for keeps"
Maricopa took the cup and was the
champion in 1911 with Harry WEIGH
as county commissioner, Yavapai won
the trophy in 1912 with Malcolm
Fraser as county commissioner, Mari
copa won in 1918 with J. E Mccain
as county commissioner and Yavapai
won last year under the direction OF
County Commissioner Malcolm Fras-
er. Yuma county is expected to be
the only strong rival Yavapai will
have as Maricopa county is excluded
from competition for the cup, because
of the advantage OF the fair being in
that county.
In Yavapai county's display will be
fruits and vegetables of all kinds, both
processed and in their original state.
Corn-yeilow, white, blue, red, purple
and black, and every variety and kind
that grows in Yavapai and a whole
ton OF cabbage will be there; $50
boxes OF big red apples and other
varieties OF fruits will be in thc ex-
nibit to say nothing OF 20 boxes OF
vegetables. Nearly a half ton OF
pumpkins will be on display and be
sides the fruits grown in the higher
attitudes. oranges, lemons and grape
fruit from Castle Hot Springs in the
southern portion OF the county, win
be shown Other exhibits will be
picked up at Skull valley.
In charge OF Wood, who all summer
has been processing the new exhibi,
for the Chamber OF Commerce, will
be nearly Is jars OF fruits and vege-
tables and about 90 quart jars OF seeds
from grains, corn, beans, sorghum
and other staples. The display OF
proccssed products is declared the
best in the State and it is expected to
aid very materially in assisting Yava-
pal to land the silver cup.
The booths in which the county's
products are to be displayed will be
decorated with spruce. pine, cedar and
mistletoe and miniature mountain
scene with running brook forming
very adequate representation OF the
larger portion OF Yavapai. Scenes OF
the county will also be in the booths.
Literature telling OF the wonderful
climate and the mining and agricul-
tural opportunities will be distributed.

THEY WILL DRINK
DOWN IN OLD PIMA

TUCSON, Nov. IA shipment
o. Is quart bottles OF whisky from
New York to Tucson, seized yester
day by Sheriff Forbes, was first bill
ed as groceries" but later at E.
Paso the billing was changed tc
"kraut."
One of the bottles broke and some
OF the contents leaked out giving :
clue to employees at the local Espee
freight Office that the "luaut" was a
fine quality OF liquid, now tabooed in
Arizona. Sheriff Forbes was notified
and on a search warrant issued by
Justice Comstock seized the ship
ment
The shipment was billed from New
York BY J. c. Berry and was shipped
to Charley Raya," which is the name
OF a local merchant on West Con
gross street.
A Federal Case.
Beyond the seizure OF the liquor
there will be no action taken by local
authorities. The matter has been
turned over to the Federal authori
ties, however, as the shipping OF in
toxicating liquor not properly brand
ed as to quality and quantity is .
violation OF the federal law Tno
case will probably be investigated in
New York City, however
Local authorities believe that con-
siderable liquor is now being shipped
into the State misbrandcd. but it Is
impossible TO detect the shipment un-
less there is a breakagc. Such prac-
tice is violation of the Federal law
and may be punished by a fine as
high as $500.
