R. HAYDEN MAKES PLEA TO
 PENSION INDIAN WAR VETS

wild, rough country, of days and nights in the saddle without sleep, of hunger and thirst, in pursuit of Indians scat tered like quail before a hunter only to meet again at some distant place and there to commit new outrages. This was the kind of warfare that tried mems souls. The American sol dier's prayer for a chance to get at their red enemies and settle the is- sue once and for all, but the willy and elusive Indian did not fight that way.
 Tt was no war of the trenches, where the men on each side could pause to remember that Christ was born on Christmas day. No one ever heard of white man and an Indian swapping tobacco across the lines. It was war of civilization against the savagry, and those who made possi- ble the settlement of the West could look for nothing but treachery from their Indian foemen. Having fought the good fight, having borne the heat and burden of the day, these Indian war veterans are entitled to the same recognition from their government that it has so generously bestowed on all of it's other defenders.
 Look at the West today; that great country beyond the Mississippi and the Missouri, now the home of millions of our citizens and the seat of civili- zation that can not be equaled in all the earth. Yet 50 years ago none but the hardest pioneers dared enter that land, and they went armed to the teeth. If it had not been for the vet erans whose cause we now plead, the early settlers would have been driven from the country by the Indians and the far West would still be known as the great American Desert"

BORROW MONEY ID
 BUY GOODS FOR CASH

That it is better economy to borrow money from the bank with which to pay cash at the store, than to buy goods from the country store on a credit basis, would seem to be proven by the results of rural credits inyes- tigation that is being carried on in the state of Texas.
 The facts are that the average farm CT who receives credit from the store does not know what rate of interest the merchant is charging him, and this rate may run anywhere from 10 to desirable for the farmer to borrow money from the bank against his crop at fixed rate of interest which is definitely stated, and to use that money for paying cash at the store, which will make sufficient reduc- tion for the payment of cash.
 In some parts of Texas this plan has been tried, and in several instances the credit stores have been absolutely put out of business by the cash stores whose customers borrow money from the bank whenever necessary.
 Are there not sections of Arizona to which this same principle applies ?- Prof. S. F. Morse, Supt. U. of A., Agr. Experiment Service.
