STATE SPELLING BEE
Grows in Interest-MOney TO Pro-
vide Free Trip for Mercer
County Lad Proposed.

Much interest is being manifested
over the state in the spelling con-
test to be held at Columbus June 4.
Some counties are organizing auto
parties to escort their county cham
pion to Columbus.
Up to date more girls than boys
have won in county contests, and the
questions now are, which will win,
boy or girl?grade or high school?
town or country pupil?
The honor prize is $50 in money
and the governors gift of a set of
choice books, Reeds Modern Elo-
quence." Congressman and others
may contribute special prizes to the
winners in their districts.
A visit to the Penetentiary is on
the program and an auto tour OF the
city may be arranged.
The Democrat has a few copies of
the list of words to be used. Inter
ested parties can get one while they
last by calling at this office.
County Superintendent and Prof.
Pogue are both endeavoring to pro
vide a free trip to the State contest
for Joseph Weaver, Mercer Countys
champion spelle r.
Not only should the people OF
Mercer County be anxious to raise
enough money to send young Weav-
er to Columbus, but they should go
farther and boost the proposition by
Offering him some prizes should he
be successful enough to win the
State Championship. It's an honor
and big one to have the champion
speller a Mercer county lad.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness. and that. is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infiamed condi- ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta- chian Tube. When this tube Is inf1amed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the in fammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed condi- tion of the mucous surfaces.

Until that time comes, the best thing to do is to keep your shirt on," continue to use siphon water on your trees and plants and trust old Uncle Sam to give you square deal
 Secretary Lane says he will, and just at this juncture his word goes a long way. However, the "itemized state ment of book costs of the Yuma pro- ject has not yet made it's appearance.

SECRETARY FRANKLIN K. LANE SAYS GOVERN MENT WILL GIVE THE FARMERS A SQUARE DEAL, AND, JUST AT THIS JUNCTURE HIS WORD GOES LONG WAY

users of the Yuma project are beginning to realize that fits a long way to Tipperary" and equally as far to the end of the lonesome, expensive, unsatisfactory lane they have been forced to travel ever since they became imbued with the very correct idea that this project, taking it all in all, the bad with the good, is the very best of all of Uncle Sam's thirty-odd irrigation projects.
 These same unit holders and water users, however, are but human, and the aver age human being is ill at case, if not wholly discontented, unless he or she gets all that is due; indeed, many even want more. It is little won- der, therefore, that the Bard ties, GilaiteS and YumaiteS want their just dues in con- nection with the Yuma pro- ject.
 Some few are under the impression that there is a conflicting interest be- tween the unit holder and water user on the one hand, and the business in- stitutions of Yuma on the other. Such is not the case, and in the common na- ture of things can never be the case. The success of every business indus try of Yuma depends upon the pros perity of the unit holders and the wa ter-users.. In this connection it must be borne in mind that every dollar spent by Uncle Sam on the Yuma Pro- ject comes directly out of the money i pdlu 1uIO tuS ISCidLldIlOu IuHu Uy IuOoC | who till the soil on the various units ! in the project. The local business man i must be shortsighted indeed who de- I, sires the local reclamation service to knowingly wilfully and recklessly spend the projects money, for it must : follow as naturally as night follows day that the more the reclamation ser vice spends the less will the unit hold CTS and water users have to spend. Not only that but it is quite natural that very much of the money spent by the local service never even gets peep into any business house in Yuma, whereas nearly every dollar spent by the unit holders goes over the counter of some one or other of the local places of business. If all the money spent on the Yuma project found lodg- ment in local hands it would not make any very vast difference who spent it.. But every one must know that such is not the case. Therefore the necessity of an honest, painstaking distribution of the funds at the disposal of the local officials of the reclamation service.
 The recent exposure of wilful waste and extravaganza in handling the funds of tho Carlsbad N M nroiect
Arizona sentinel Yuma southwest., 1915-07-01

of the Yuma project is wondering as to
 whether or not the same condition has
 been the rule here. If such be the de
 plorable fact Uncle Sam will be out of
 pocket something like $2,OOO,OOO, for
 he can not and will not tax the unit
 holder and water user with the funds
 that have been illegally, maliciously
 or wilfully wasted; he will do here
 just what the Carlsbad Board of Cost
 Review told him to do-"charge it to
 profit and loss." Those who read that
 report, as published in the Examiner
 must have marvelled at the slip-shod
 manner in which the Carlsbad project
 was managed, and the strong language of condemnation of the management
 of that project used by the Board of Cost Review must convince everyone that Secretary Lanes appointees on those boards are determined to deal out equal and exact justice to all, ask ing no favors and granting no immun- tiles.
 One unfortunate feature connected with the Yuma project and the search ing investigation that is about to be- gin, is that the manager" has very recently quit his job, whether by re- quest or on his own initiative, it mat ters not. It would not be fair, nor just, nor equitable to hold the present management responsible for any errors of judgment, or the wilful waste and extravaganza of the projects funds under the management of the departed and lamented high muck-a-muck of the Yuma project. The mistakes of the past, if there were any, will very likely be quickly remedied, if that be possi- ble and after reading the exhaustive report from Carlsbad, it is safe to as- sume that the present Yuma project will look long and we'll before leap is taken in the wrong 
 AS a very appropriate illustration of how Carlsbad project unit holders were being skinned" (and the same thing is possible here and on all other projects), the attention of those who read the Carlsbad findings, as publish ed in the Examiner, ,gis called to Sec. Canyon Siphon," where the project was charged with the excava- tion of 19,0S3 cubic yards at 57 cents per cubic yard, making total of $10,- 887.76. The Board of Cost Review put the manager on the rack and from his testimony it was ascertained that the {, actually amounted to less than 5000 cubic yards! The cost per cubic yard, together with backfilling, was reduced to 5 cents, and the total bill reduced to $4 400, charging $7,4S776 to profit and loss," thereby relieving the unit holders of that un- just burden.
 Inasmuch as many hundreds of thou sands of cubic yards of excavation have been moved on the Yuma project it will be interesting to know what it all cost, and how much, if any of it | should be charged to profit and loss" because of over-charge, thereby reliev jnp< the init holders Of at least that !

VISITS
OCEAN RESORT
TO RECuPERATE

ATLANTIC CITY, N J., July H.
Harry X. Thaw today had his first
sight of the Atlantic ocean in more
than nine years. The man who was
set free yesterday in New York after
being held insane for seven years, was
a weekend guest on the boardwalk and
he proved star attraction for the
thousands of visitors in this popular
summer resort.
Thaw expects to remain here until
Monday when he will go to Pittsburg
to visit his mother and sister before
starting on an automobile tour to San
Francisco to see the Panama exposi-
ton. Thaw was in high spirits when
he arose at half-past seven at the
Dennis hotel. The first thing he did
was to go over to the window and
take a long look at the ocean. He
drew long breath of the tingling salt
air while his face expressed his hap
piness.

The sending of this note which Is in
the nature of a cavet and which re-
iterates the position taken in the first
American note to Great Britain follow
ing upon the order in council estab-
fishing the British blockade against
Germany, has been in contemplation
since that time.
This cavet will not in any way act
as a substitute for the formal note OF

delivered to the British foreign office
yesterday
I'm view of differences which are
understood to exist between the two

terests and in order to avoid any mis-
understanding as to the attitude of
the United States in regard to such
proceedings, the government Of the
United States in regard to such pro-
ceedings, the government of the
United States informs the British
government that in SO far as the in
terests of American citizens are con-
cerned it will insist upon their rights
under the principles and rule of inter-
national law as hitherto established,
governing neutral trade in times of
war without limitation or impairment
by orders in council or other municipal
legislation by the British government
and will not recognize the validity of
pro prize court proceedings taken un-
der restraint imposed by British mu-
nicipal law in derogation of the rights
of American citizens under interna-
tional law"
