An unconsidered Circumstance

The Tucson Citizen, commenting prospec- tive baseball game between the Maricopa county courthouse gang and the statehouse outfit, men tioned the fact that Tax Commissioner Thomas Campbell had been assigned to the position of catcher. Mr. Campbell the Citizen stated, the only real player either proposed team, but he had been called away, thereby forfeitng fine chance to earn q reputation for accuracy Governor Huni had been assigned to held down the inerme Hate sack As the catcher could not well miss him. every possible throw to second would be good one.
 Not necessarily. We think the Citizen will recognize. on second thought, that MT. Campbell might land a ball the governor either eastern or western point of the governors perm- ccr and still be gailty of recklessly wild throw entirely beyond the reach of either of the crnors mitts.
 It is just such ill~consdered statements as the foregoing by the Citizen such failures to take into all attending circumstances of things whose description is attempted that lead readers astraN. and tend to cast reflections upon the reputatons Of newspapers for reliability.

COMMODITY PRICES AND SUPPLY OF GOLD

The question of the supply of gold in the future presents some interesting problems for here we are dealing with metal whose output affects the price of all other commodities.
 During the past century there have been number of great gold discoveries. The net result has been fairly steady increase in the of nual output; and some twenty years ago this rate of increase grew to extent far greater than the average rate at which the worlds industries were advancing. The consequence chcapening of gold. relative to other commodities, which expressed itself general rise in commodity prices.
 For some years past, on the other hand, there have been indications that the gold output was ap- preaching maximum for the mon:ent, and that until some new source of supply developed there might be an actual decrease in the annual output of gold. If this relative scarcity be accentu ated by growing demand for gold coinage, it's ef- fleets might be very marked in producing d sharp fall in average prices for all other commodities Now, the one effect of the present which seems inevitable is ths-that at som time in the near fu- ture the currency and other securities issued by the bellgerent nations will require increased metallic coinage, unless the world is go perma- nenty upon d flat credit currency basis. This latter supposition is of course, possible our new banking system has pointed way fol legal imitation without the of military neces- sity-Edwin C. Eche, in Engineering Magazine.

NATURES GUIDE TO GARDENERS
Silent Suggestions Of Maple, Dogwood
and White Oak

Nature furnishes guides for gardef
planting which are even more reliable
than the calendar, according to tn,
departments garden specialist Tn,
old residents Of the soil such as the
maple, dogwood, and white oak are the
best interpreters Of natures moods in
spring, and quickly reflect them, Sc
that the gardener who follows their
silent suggestions may arrange the
planting Of his vegetables accordingly
When the silver naples begin to put
forth their leaves and the "catkinsv
appear on the willows and poplars,
nature is indicating that the season is
right for the planting of such vege-
tables as lettuce, mustard, onion seeds
and onion sets, parsley, the round
seeded peas, early Irish potatoes,
radishes, spinach, and turnips. This,
Of course, is provided that the soil is
in good order, which can be determine
ed by taking handful at the depth of
three or four inches from the surface,
compact it in the hand by closing the
fingers, and if, upon opening them, the
ball Of earth gradually falls apart, it
is ready to be spaded. Manure should
be buried full spade depth below the
surface and the soil should be made
fine and compact with an even surface
Not until about 10 days after nature
has set the date for the above-men-
toned vegetables should such garden
truck as beets, carrots, and kohl-rabi
be planted. A second sowing of peas
can also be made at this time.
The dogwod and the white oak be-
gin to show signs of awakening at
time when other vegetables may be
planted Thes include bush and pole
beans, sweet corn, cucumbers, musk
and various kinds of squash.
The gardener and housewife will rare
y plant too early if they but wait for
nature to tell them what to do.

honest but wise. But he must show
some cause for not voting for Mrs.
Young. She is an aUtOCrat!
During Mrs. YOung's sUperinten-
dency she has organized teachers
councils to discuss the needs Of the
schools. Is this the act Of an auto
crat? I say that it is the essence Of
democracy-just what that trustee
was cIamOTing for our schools.
And what did one Of our daily pa
pers comment on this very demo-
cratic impulse? It came out with
headlines: Mrs. Young is letting the
teachers run her schools for her!"
Our large department stores know
the value of suggestions from their
employees. They have boxes to re-
ceive suggestions from any emplOye.
I have been told the employees are
paid a sum of money if their sugges-
tons are used.
There is nothing in the business
world as stupendOus in management
as the care of our children in our
schools. When Mrs. Young shows
the democratic SplIlL she Is uleC Will
a sheer. When she does not listen to
some trustees who possibly are seek
ing. something that will be detrimen-
tai to our schools then Mrs. Young
is an autOcrat.
To my mind she shows a wonder
full courage to attend her way in spite
of all attacks.
Another instance of Mrs. YOung's
democratic spirit: She told the SEN
ate investigation how she selects text
books for the schools. She writes to
all book concerns for sample copies
and the prices and then she selects
committee composed of superitnen-
dents, principals and teachers and
with their assistance the text books
are selected for our schools. Is this
the act of an aUtOcrat?
