PATRIOTIC AID SOCIETY
HELPING MILITIA BOYS

The Patriotic Aid Society, which
was organized a few weeks ago by
twenty-four ladies of the city, for the
purpose of providing a mess fund for
company TX" at the front, is meet
ing with considerable encouragement.
Each member pledges a certain
amount of money to be paid each
month while the boys are in active
military service. The government
allows 20 cents each day per man for
food. This small allowance neces-
sarlly excludes all the little table
dtainties of which the boys are fond,
hence the mess fund, which is kept
up by their friends. When money is
available in this fund, the quarter
master can buy additional delecacies,
such as the militia boys like, such as
fruits, fresh vegetables, good butter,
lemonade, etc.
The members of the local society
make an urgent appeal to the people
OF Dickinson and the surrounding
towns and country to make such do
nations as they see fit for the boys.
Even amounts Of only rs cents per
month will be appreciated. Donations
may be sent to Mrs. D. D. Mars, Dick
lnson, secretary of the organization.

DRIVES FROM NEW ENGLAND
TO DICKINSON IN AN HOUR

A few days. ago Gordon Gardner of
New England made a trip in his Ford
automobile from that town to Dickin-
son, II miles, in So minutes, thereby
winning a bet of $50. If he had ar
rived in Dickinson three minutes later
it would have cost him $50, besides
the gasoline and the amount he had
to donate to the village authorities
at New England for exceeding the
speed limit.
The record-breaking drive was the
outcome of an argument between
Gordon and Harry Gardner as to the
length of time it would take to make
the trip. Gordon maintained that he
could make it in less than an hour
and Harry was willing to bet he
couldn't in a Ford car Gordon won
the bet even though he had to stop
for three minutes along the way on
account Of engine trouble. He was
accompanied by Fred Schroeder.

'WO BADLY INJURED IN
-~ TERRIFIC HAIL STORM

During a recent hail storm, the
mouse on the Charles Martin farm,
near Berg in Mckenzie county, was
wrecked and scattered over the
prairie by the terrific wind. Mr.. and
Mrs. E. G. Fosgate, who were living
IN the house and working the farm,
dashed from the building as it began
to rock in the wind, escaping just as
the structure collapsed. They covered
their heads with dishpans as they left
the house, to protect themselves in a
measure against the large hailstones,
but the pans were torn from their
grasp and both were badly bruised by
hailstones and by being blown about
the ground against machinery and
other distractions. After the storm
abated, they managed to reach the
home of a neighbor, where their in
juries were attended to. All the
standing grain in the vicinity was
destroyed by the storm and hail.

RUSTED STRAW
TO HORSES AND CATTLE

There has evidently not been much
investigation on the effect of rust on
straw as to it's feeding value. Most
of the analysis made show that rust
increases the feeding value Of the
straw. The Dominion Experiment
Station in Canada and the experiment
stations in North Dakota and Minne-
sofa, have found that the rusted
straw has a larger feeding value than
rust-free straw. The analysis made
at the North Dakota Experiment
Station orc year, however, showed that
the straw had a decreased feeding
value. The reason for an increased
feeding va!ae is explained by the fact
that the plant first produces the
nourishmcnt in the stem and leaves
and later passes it up into the head
to fill out the kernels. The rust in
terriers with this food passing up into
the head. It. has a little the same eff
| feet as cutting the grain for hay.
The value of the rustcd straw depends
on a good many factors, among
which are the time at which rust
! strikes the crop, how the straw is
cured and whether it has any
shrivelled grain in it. Cases have
been reported in which animals have
been harmed by being fed rusted
straw. One way to determine if it
is harmful is to feed it to a few of
the less valuable animals for a week
or two and observe the effect that it
has on them. Some other roughage
should be fed with the rusted straw
and do not make a sudden change
from other feed to rusted straw.
Shaking the straw to emove the
dust as far as possible is also advis-
able. Observe the animals that are
being fed rusted straw to see what
effect it has on them.-North Dakota
Experiment Station.

ANOTHER HOMESTEAD
BILL MAY Be PASSED

Word has been sent out from WASH
ington that the bill providing for $40
acre stock-raising homestead entries
on the semi-arid lands of the north
west, had been passed by both the
senate and the house and was only
awaiting the concurrence of the house
in the senate amendments and the sig
nature of the president to become a
law. Senator McCumber says, how
ever, that the report that the 640-
acre law had passed is an error, as
the bill is still on the senate calen-
dar. There is every indication, how
ever, that the bill will ultimately pass.

Mr.. Olney has the support of bona
interest in the state, and who have
no selfish motive in the result, while
Governor Hunts support is made up
largely of his army of appointees and
employees, together with the radical
members of the I. w. w. and Fedora
ton of Miners and Mexican agitators
who are here today and gone tomorrow.
Under Hunt, statehood has not been
the success which the majority of citi-
zens had hoped. With economy and
business management promised by Oh
ney the citizens would obtain relief.
With all of these facts before the
unprejudiced, dispassionate citizens Of
the state it should be an easy matter
for them to decide how to vote for the
best interests of the state and the
whole people at the primary next week.
Every believer in the principles en-
umerated above for which Mr. Olney
stands, should rally to his support on
the 18th of September, and thereby
secure his nomination and assure
democratic success at the general cleo
tion in November.

BANK ROBBER FREE
CAMPAIGNS FOR HUNT

About fourteen months ago two
men, one of whom Was named Hale,
held up the Bank of Duncan, at
Duncan, Arizona, in broad daylight,
says the Graham Guardian They lock-
ed the cashier in the vault, where he
would have suffocated if a friend had
not happened in after the robbers left
and set him free
The robbers secured a large sum
of money and led a gay life in New
Mexico, where they were arrested
several months later and brought back
to Clifton and tried on the charge of
holding up the Duncan bank. They
were convicted and sentenced to serve
a term in the penitentiary at Florence.
Several days ago. one of thef con-
victs, Hale, appeared in Duncan with
Sheriff Cash. Hale was dressed in
the latest fashion and was looking
fine, as if he was leading the life of
a retired capitalist and enjoying all
of the good things of the world
Both men dined in the best restaur-
ant in town, and after dinner strolled
around town.
Convict Hale, as he passed the Bank
of Duncan thought he would call up
on the cashier he had robbed at the
point of pistol and locked up in
vault. So, he walked into the bank
and repeated the words he used when
he held up the cashier.
81 have a little check here which
wish you would cash." The cashier
looked up but this time it was not into
the muzzle of six shooter but into
the smiling countenance of the man
who had robbed him a few months ago,
a well-dressed happy human whom he
supposed was serving his ten years
sentence at the Florence penitentiary.
The cashier was somewhat surprised,
but was undoubtedly glad his caller
was evidently on a friendly visit and
not there for the purpose of another

bLACkNA|L BY MEXICAN AGENI
N0RNNCF0R GOVERNOR HUNT
MAY BLOCK STATE FAIR RACE

a PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. Threat
ened by the confidential representative
of Adolpho de la Huerta, governor of
Sonora, that unless he used his in
fluence for the nomination of Gov
Hunt there would be no international
motorcycle race from Hermosillo to the
Arizona state fair in November, DR.
Lorenzo Boido, Mexican CONSUL desig-
nate in this district has rendered his
resignation to Secretary Shaughnessey
of the state fair commission as man
ager of the proposed race.
DR.. Boido's resignation followed an
interview with A. A. Ravalo, conf
Dental secretary to De la Huerta, who
arrived in Phoenix last week. Ravalo
first called at the statenuuse, where
he conferred for several hours with
Gov. Hunt Immediately following his
conference with the governor, the spe-
cial agent of the Mexican government
in Sonora went to DR.. Boido, and told
him that if he did not use his influ-
ence from now on to further the re-
election of Gov. Hunt, and to deliver
the Mexican vote in favor OF his nomin-
alton at the primary election, permis-
sion to hold the proposed international
motorcycle race from Hermosillo to the
state fair grounds at Phoenix would
be refused by Gov. della Huerta. IF
you will work for Gov Hunt, and for
his election, Mr. de Ia rfuerta will
gladly give you permission to hold the
road race" declared Ravalo. "If you
don't help Gov. Hunt, nothing doing.
You know that it is the policy of a
man who works for MeXicans to work
for Governor Hunt and work for the
Mexican people"
At the first interview DR.. Boido ask
ed for time, and invited the special
agent of de la Huerta who is in Arizona
in the interests of Gov. Hunt to return
for another conference the following
morning. At the second interview, an
exact record of which was secured,
Ravalo disclosed his status as secretary
to de la Huerta, and said that he had
come to Arizona to help Gov. Hunt get
the Mexican vote. At the close of the
The Arizona copper camp., 1916-09-08

conference he drew up on agreement
in which it was stipulated that provid-
ing DR.. Boido would Use his influence
in Governor Hunts behalf and his re-
election, he would secure permission
from Gov de la Huerta for the Inter-
national roadrace from Hermosillo to
Phoenix. The agreement as dictated
by Ravalo follows:
Il, the undersigned A A. Ravalo
agrees to secure the permission from
Mr.. De La Huerta for the international
Arizona, in the part of what said races
depends of the said Mr. De la Huerta,
providing DR.. Lorenzo Boido will use
of his influence in the way the under
signed has indicated to him and prac-
tical results can be shown by Mr.. Boido
in Governor Hunts behalf and his re-
valo and DIR. Boido agree under their
word of honor not to use the content
of this agreement for other purposes
which are not the road-race itself.
(Signed) A. A. Ravalo."
Following Ravalo's departure DR..
Boido wrote out his resignation as man
ager of the proposed international mo-
torcycle race, and forwarded it to
Secretary T. d. Shaughnessey of the
state fair commission. His resigna-
tion follows:

FRIENDS
IN HIGH SPIRITS
OVER SUCCESS

PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. 1.-THE clos
ing week of the campaign for the
nomination of candidates for state and
county officers finds the friends Of
George A. Olney, candidate ror Gov
ernor of the state in high spirits over
the prospects of his success.
While campaign of misrepresenta-
tion has been vigorously prosecuted
against him not single reason has
been presented why he should not re-
ceive the nomination. And on the 9TH
er hand there has been no valid ex-
cuse offered why his opponent should
be nominated.
Summing up the case, Olney seeks
the nomination for a first term. Hunt
asks the voters to select him for a
fourth term.
While the question of a mine tax law
is not an issue in the present campaign,
the record clearly proves that Mr.. Oh
ney is now and always has been op-
posed to special laws of any sort and
that Hunt not only voted once in the
legislature for special mine tax law,
but in a message to the first State
legislature urged the passage of such
a law
rights for all citizens and special priv
ilges for none." Hunts policy has
been damn the corporations and spe-
cial favors for the Meyers, DeLaras
and Mother Joneses.'
Economy in administration of state
government. is the watchword of Mr..
Olney; Hunts policy has been extra
vagance to the limit, and he is still
asking for more commissions and Of
ficers, where more money can be spent.
While Governor Hunt boasts of hav-
ing raised the assessments of the min
ing companies, he fails to state that
his extravaganza, even with this raise
has made the taxes of the farmers
double what they were prior to his ad-
vent in office, which is fact.
Gov Hunt says that when he dies it
will be discovered that he has been
paying taxes, but Olney does not have
to die in order to let it be known that
he is taxpayer, having been on Ari-
zona's tax rolls for more than thirty
years.
Mr.. Olney favors appointing to Of
flee those who are worthy and eff
cient; Hunts policy has been to favor
only those who will assist him in build
ing up political machine. Merit is
the standard of the former; personal
political service the requirement of the
latter.
Mr.. Olney stands for law enforce
ment as he finds the law, Hunt has de-
fled the laws when they did not agree
with it's own sentiments.
Gov. Hunt has been the subservient
tool of those who would nullify the
constitutional prohibition amendment
by refusing to take any measures what
ever for it's enforcement while Mr.. Oh
ney stands pledged to enforce it as
well as all other laws on the statute
books.

TALKS ON BANKING
AMERICAN IDEALS AND
WEAKNESSES.

Opinions may differ materially as
to what is the leading motive in the
life of the average American and what
the leading ideal We have been
charged with being a nation of ma
terialists, bent on getting money, get
ting money all the time and all we
can get of it-not to save particularly,
but to spend. Our aim is not to save
more but to earn more. If we cannot
have what we want, we do not do
without, but work harder for it. We
the cost and not the satisfaction we
get out of them. When we make up
our minds that we have been foolish
and frittered away our possessions, we
try to recoup, not by spending less,
but by earning more.
1t must be admitted that we can, as
a people, make money. We can save
only small part in comparison with
other nations, but we do have the
knack of getting it. The salaries paid
our officials and leading business men
would make some European princes
envious, and the wages of American
workmen have attracted boards of
European laborers to our shores.
No one denies that we make money,
but is that the leading motive in Ameri-
can life? The questions: What in
your opinion are the leading ideals of
the men with whom you associate?"
and What do you consider to be the
chief points of weakness in American
life?" were put to about one hundred
leading business men-lawyers, bank
ers, editors, business men, farmers,
scientists and others, and the replies
show that forty-si consider service
to ones fellows to be the leading ideal,
while twenty eight think the making

sonal power is the leading motive.

A prominent magazine editor replied:

A Congressman had this to say
"Extravagance in living. Most
Americans prefer to spend money rath-

very many spend money foolishly and
upon things which were better not pur-
chased.
"The feeling that what we do ought
