STRAIGHT TALK BY
 KIBBEY AT DUNCAN

DUNCAN, Ariz., Oct. 2-"Are all the independent voters in the Repub- lican party?" asked Jurgc Joseph II. Kibbey of a large audience in Dun- can.
 Judge Kibbey then told how the Republican party four years ago cleaned its own house when more than half the members of that party revolted against its leadership and proved that the Republican party is not only a great constructive party but an independent one as well.
 Are you Democrats satisfied with your party and its administration of affairs in this State and nation:" he asked If not, then show your in dependence as good American citi- zens by rebuking that administration at the polls.
 You have been told by your rep resentatives in congress they can se- cure no further assistance from con gross to aid in constructing irriga- ton works in Arizona where they arc sorely needed" said Judge Kibbey. T believe that such assistance can be secured if proper and consistent ef- forts are made to get 1t. Now, why return to the senate as your represen- tative there senator who admits he can do nothing further for you? One who admits defeat before he starts, can never succeed. Why not try someone who is not willing to admit that he will fail? Why not try one who is convinced that he can sue .cecd?
 Have American lives and Amer ican property been protected in Mex ico as the Democratic platform de- clared they would be protected in its promises of four years ago?" asked Judge Kibbey "No," shouted wom- an in the audience, and the roar or approval was sweeping. American lives and American property have not been protected" said the speaker, and this is not the only pledge the Democrats have not kept" said Judge Kibbey, who then proceeded to discuss a number of broken pledges to the delight of the audience which cheered him repeatedly.
 Joe V. Prochaska made short but excellent talk in his own behalf and was frequently cheered. He is win ming votes by the score everywhere he goes in support of his candidacy for secretary of State.
 J. Harrie Cloonan spoke briefly but we'll of the work of the corporation commission and acquainted the audi ence with his experience along the lines necessary to qualify one for that commission. He was we'll received.
 Norman ]. Mckenzie took a new tack and talked along a different vein and proceeded to make a new hit, keeping the crowd in an uproar. He has many supporters here for State mine inspector.
 Judge O. J. Baughn spoke just be- fore Judge Kibbey and made a wholly different speech from what he has made at several other meetings. His speech was clear and logical and caused much favorable comment. Sev- eral ''uncompromising Democrats announced emphatically after the meeting that they intended to support him for judge of the Supreme court.
 It is generally conceded by the members of the party that the Dun can meeting was one of the best they have held. The people turned out in good shape and showed the speakers every courtesy. It is very generally predicted here that this Democratic precinct will give the Republican ticket a substantial majority in No vember.

COCONINO SAFE FOR
 REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE

WILLIAMS, Oct. g. The first furry of snow came here yesterday and left Bill Williams peak mass of white. There is a decided Wintry punch in the atmosphere this morn- ing, and the delightful Fall weather has set in which makes this the at tractive season of the year in North ern Arizona.
 The punch is not only confined to the atmosphere but is very marked in the added interest in State politics since Tom Campbell spoke to the people of Williams. The rally last night was very enthusiastic, the hall filled to its capacity, and the people intensely interested in the popular candidate for governor and what he stands for.
 Coconino county will do better than it has ever done in the past for the Republican ticket, and those who know the sentiment predict an over whelming majority for it from top to bottom. Williams is enjoying un- usual prosperity and the people are very busy, but they are going to vote this year in greater numbers than ever before even though they are too busy just now to give much time to discussing political issues.
 In his address here last night Mir. Campbell likened the State to a great corporation with the people as its stockholders, and upon that basis he presented his cause He first outlin- ed the extravaganza in State admins tration, and then summed up his case by pointing out specific changes in administration which he said would rebound not only to the fiscal but the moral credit of the people. His in dictment of the governor and his ad ministration was given from figures which he had compiled and which he said could not be successfully con- tradicted.
 He showed the increased cost to the taxpayers of Coconino county since 1911. In spite of the wonderful in crease in taxable wealth in this coun- ty from over four million in 1911 to over seventeen million in 1916, the taxpayers were contributing towards State government for State purposes only, more than thirteen thousand dollars in 1916 than in 1911.
 NIT. R. A. Nickerson was chairman of the meeting and addressed the au- dience briefly regarding the State ticket. As he presented each speaker he told of the particular qualifications of the candidate. The local com mittee gave a dance following the speaking which was preceded by an informal reception to Mir. Campbell and the other State candidates.
 The other speakers were Doane Merrill. candidate for auditor; H. E. Matthews, candidate for State super of public instruction; John L. Gust, candidate for attorney gen eral, and George H. Smalley, for State tax commissioner.
 The party left this morning for Flagstaff, after visiting the mills here. A rally will be held at Flagstaff to- night.

PARENT-TEACHER
ASSOCIATE n
HOLDS MEETING.

A meeting Of the Parent Teacher AS
ISOLATION was held at the Myrtle
street schoolhouse Monday evening
with DR.. J. G. Towne Of the Board Of
Education as the speaker The meeting
was called to order by Supt. Perkins
and after a selection by the members
of the Myrtle street glee club led by
Miss Mildred Stockbridge, the musi-
cal instructor Of the public schools.
Mr.. Perkins said in introducing DR..
Towne. that there was three reasons
for the meeting, the first to get better
acquainted, the second to discuss with
the teachers the problems and third,
that there might be speakers to talk
OH problems that would help the young.
He then introduced DIR. Towne, who,
after a few words of introduction, said
that he wanted to speak especially on
the duty OF the parent to the child.
He spoke Of the expense of education,
saying that many MILLIONS were spent
in the United States every year for
education, and bringing it down to a
concrete instance. 1t cost in the Wa
terville High school last year $76 a
pupil, and this did not include the sal
aries Of the Board of Education either,
said DR.. Towne, or the investment on
the 100000 building there. Education,
however, pays for itself in the in
creased earning capacity of the child.
The more education there is the less
poverty, and while it is no disgrace to
he poor it is mighty uncomfortable.
All have duty to the child, the teach
c. ard the parents have their duties
and has the child and it is a part of
the duty of the teacher and the pa
rents to see that the child does it's
duty TO itself
He then spoke of the duty of the pa
rents to the child from a medical point
of view, saving that many children are
laboring under defects that a simple sur
gical operation would oft times entirely
eliminate, and spoke of a specific case of
where a little girl was falling behind in
her studies and an operation for enlarged
tonsls brought her back to normal 9th
err troubles. as bad teeth and eyesight
often badly handicap a child. Also it fire.
Guently happens that children are sent
to school improperly dressed. He then
spoke of a specific case of where a little
girl was taken into family, when hel
rank came home it was found that it was
all low. The man who was her tempo.
rary guardian took the matter up with
| the teacher. found out why the child was
low in her studies and undertook to helI
her over the hard places and advanc.
her standing, and in four months made
her rank very much better. He declared
that the parent should follow the child
to school and see what thew were doing
there and work with the teacher. He
closed with a tribute to the work being
done by the Parent-Teacher Association
Following DR.. TONNES address there wa.

CALL ATTENTION
OF BRITISH TO
u. S. FACILITIES

London, April 10.-The American con-
sulate here has issued notice calling
attention to the facilities offered by
American banks to British merchants
trading with the United States and the
increasing extent to which the import
and export trade of the United States
is being financed through commercial
letters of credit opened with American
banks.
Referring to the increasing difficulty
merchants are experiencing in obtain
ing commercial accommodation from
English banks as the war progresses,
the notice calls attention to the fact
that the federal reserve act of 1914
empowers American banks to accept
drafts based on import or export trans
actions with the result that there is
now well developed discount market
in the United States for this class of
transactions. The consul general offers
to furnish the names of banks which
are prepared to do acceptance business
which will enable British business to
obtaining facilities for financial ship
ments to and from the United States
in the same manner that they have
previously done through European
banks.

tee on appropriations. Chairman Pad

outcome will be compromise between

four battle cruisers, will be recommend
ed.
The navy departments designers
practically have completed plans for
the new battleships and the necessary
auxiliary craft to be authorized. Con-

GERMAN FAILURE
IN VERDUN DRIVE
INSPIRES FRENCH

Paris. April 10.-The failure Of the lat
est great hammer stroke of the Germans
at Verdun has greatly encouraged the
French press and public and confirms still
further the general confidence felt in the
ability Of the high command. The attack
is stated to have been one of the most
determined Of the great blows delivered
since the battle began so days ago, and
yet it yielded the least results of any Of
them, although the crown prince hurled
two whole army corps against the French
along 10-mile front.
AS Bethincourt formed a dangerous
salient, its evacuation had been expected
for some time and many military OBJ
servers long ago criticized its retention.
General Petain's unerring judgment in
letting it go at exactly the right mo-
ment is now highly praised. While Of lit
tie value to the French. it is of almost
none to the Germans, as it is located in
q hollow. commanded by French guns on
all sides. out Of which it is practically
impossibls for thsm to debouch.

A Peculiar Well in Florida.

In their investigation of the wells
and underground waters of Florida the
biologists of the United States Geo
logical Survey have noted many inter
esting things. Among these is a we'll
at Welaka, on st. Johns River, from
which two kinds of water are obtained.
This well is 800 feet deep. The length
of the casting is 10 feet The wei,
was first drilled to 100 feet, and from
this depth ordinary sulphur water
was obtained The drill was then car
RED to adepth of 800 feet, where it ell
countered strong mineral water, hav-
ing disagreeable, salty taste. In or
der to use both kinds of water an in
ner tubing was run nearly to the bot
tom of the we'll. Both this and the
outer casing were connected with
pumps, so that ordinary water and
mineral water can be pumped at the
same time. A favorite joke played on
visitors is to give them a drink of the
weaker water in the first glass and to
replace it with the brine in the Sec
Ond.
Not more than half a dozen wells Of
this kind are known in the country, but
there is no reason Why similar wells
can not be obtained in regions where
the waters in the upper strata differ
rom those lying deeper.

Nevada Famous as Mining State.

Nevada is q Spanish word meaning
snowy" or white as snow" and
the name of the State was derived
from the Sierra Nevada. The State
ranks sixth in size in the Union. Its
length from north to south is asa
miles, it's width 321 miles, aid it's area
109,S21 square miles.
The history of Nevada is chiefly the
history Of her mines Since the dis
covery of the Coms1ock lode and other
famous ore bodies periods of activity
and prosperity have alternated with
periods of depression. Each discovery
c. high grade ore in noteworthy guam
tity has been followed by rapid settle
ment in that locality and the estab-
lishment of one or more towns. In
1S90-1S93 a sharp decline in the price
of silver initiated or accompanied :.
period of depression in Nevada's min
ing and general industrial prosperity
Silver is so important resource of the
State that to large extent even now
her prosperity. depends upon the mar
ket for that metal OF late years, how
ever, an increased production of gold,
copper, and recently of platinum has
accompanied a gradual and, it is
hoped, substantial industrial progress
Permanent towns have grown up and
agriculture and related pursuits are
becoming firmly established. (Over-
