occurred throughout Oklahoma,

this year. and in many other states
as well. notably Oregon. In the
cities peaches have been retailing all
summer and fall at from two to FIVE
cents apiece"
1t may seem an exaggeration to
pronounce such waste a crime
against civilization, so accustomed
are we to our clumsy and inadequate
system OF distributing farm products,
But it is a crime. People in the
poverty-stricken quarters Of the big
cities go hungry while all the time
the finest kind of food is rotting on
the ground in sections that in these
days of rapid transportation are not
far away. Men go without employ
ment while during their busy season
farmers find the utmost difficulty
in getting labor.
Americans have been proud OF
their ability as organizers. But they
have neglected organizing marketing
facilities for the distribution of food,
task that should come before all
other ventures in organization. To

COMMEND VILLAS
ARMY FOR ITS
DARING BRAVERY

Washington, Nov. 4.-Tribute to
the bravery and tenacity OF the
threadbare, thirsting and suffering
yillista forces repulsed before Aqua
Prieta was paid in General Funston's
official report to the war department
today, dated last night. The report
follows:
THE whereabouts Of General Villa
and his main force tonight is un-
known. There are persistent rumors
that he has fed to Cabullena, Is
miles south of here, where there is
ample water, and that he is recuper-
ating his men in order to return to
the attack, but a small detachment
of his force with some wagons
reached Naco and is purchasing food,
while an officer east OF Naco reports
seeing about 1000 encamped across
the boundary from Osborne.
Villas force consists of about
$4,000 men, 36 guns and an un-
known number OF machine guns. His
men suffered terribly during opera
tions here from thirst and hunger,
but their spirit is shown by the fact
that less than dozen deserted to
our side. Women, children and camp
followers usually found with Mex
lean force we're left at Casas Grandes.
He has nothing but fighting men with
him."
Explaining his failure to fire across
the border, in keeping with his in
structions from Washington to do SO,
II bullets from the warning Mexicans
injured any on the American side,
Funston said:
1T may not be understood at the
war department why, In view of ex-
isting orders. have not fred upon
contending parties, considering the
fact that some bullets and shells
struck on the American side and
three men OF the 7th infantry were
wounded.
I did not fire because 1t was evil
dent that both commanders we're do
ing their utmost to prevent injuring
Americans. General Gales men
(Carranzistas) committed the prin-
cipal faults, and I could not in fair
ness open on villa without treating
Gales the same"

GETTING A CITY MANAGER.

GETTING A CITY MANAGER.
When the managerial form OF gov
ernment Is considered we are apt to
think Of complicated and camber-
some machinery for putting the pro-
cess Into operation. Other cities have
spent months. and even years. in con-
sidering new charter with its mani
fold provisions; then come elections
for the ratification of the charter and
for election OF commissioners who
will name the city manager and in
measure direct him. At least one
city has found an easier way Of pro-
viding itself with the new-fangled
government. way that has some
advantage over the more orthodox
one, and which leaves an easier
method of escape II the city later
wants to get from under.
Down in Arizona two OF the chief
cities OF the state tried the new way
OF running municipal affairs. Phoenix
built new charter. elected COM
mission under It, the commission
named its manager. then trouble
commenced. The charter gave the
manager multifarious duties and au-
thorities. and when the commission
failed to agree with him there was no
way out except by special election
at Which the voters authorized the
commission to dispense with the OBJ
noxious manager.
Tucson, not to be distanced by the
capital city. also wanted municipal
manager. but no new charter was
adopted. How it went about the job
is told by tho Sunset Magazine In
the. following words:
When candidates for the city
council started to shake hands. they
were asked to pledge themselves to
appoint a city manager. There was
no law authorizing such an Official.
but Tucson reasoned that II could
try out the system with or without
law. Supporters Of the city
manager idea won at the polls and
the new council at once proceeded
to turn the technical part Of the city's
administration over to a competent
engineer. He Is running Tucson now
under the city councils supervision.
and he is making good job OF it,
even though Tucson's charter does
not mention a city manager"
Grants Pass could get into the city
manager class in short time IL It
80 desired. A city election is to be
held December 8, and councilmen
could then be elected pledged to the
new order. There is no doubt about
the modern plan being the efficient
plan, and a cursory examination Of
the city charter points to no insur-
mountable obstacles in the way Of
the council hiring a general superin-
tendent OF municipal affairs II 1t so
desired. This would take the bur-
den Of detail of the shoulders Of the
individual councilmen, and would
make for efficiency and economy.
Business men might then yield to
the importunities OF the public and
become candidates for the council
with less reluctance than they do
now. Anyway. Tucson made It win,
and IL might do to think about.
