FORD HAD WRONG IDEA

Henry Ford has returned home
from his peace mission to the warning
nations. Mr.. Ford says he is now
convinced that the bankers and
other business men are not to blame
for the war, but that the soldiers
themselves are the ones who are
keeping it up.
If Mr.. Ford had asked our opinion
in the matter we could have easily
disabused his mind that the bankers,
at least, were not to blame for the
war, for when we gaze upon the
angelic countenances of our local
bankers, we know that they are too
sanity for any such bloody work,
and that Mr.. Ford was wrong in the
assumption that they would do any
thing to create a war.
Mr.. Ford comes back to his native
soil sadder and wiser man, and we
hope he will just continue to provide
our farmers in the valley with the
little old Fords" that amble right
along in any old place, and forget
his Don Quixote ideas.

Be at Brier's Hall,
January 10th

The Musical Entertainers will give
the third entertainment in the Red
path Lyceum Course, at Brier's
Hall, next Monday, January 10th,
instead of Wednesday, January 18th.
The change in the dates was made
necessary by reason of the Musical
Entertainers not being able to keep
their engagement at Clifton, on ac-
count of the strike, and they will
appear here two days earlier. giving
their entertainment at Brier's Hall
next Monday, January 10th. instead

The program of the Musical En-
tertainers has been carefully planned
to bring out to the best possible ad-
vantages the individual talents of
each. There are no long waits.
In Nebraska, where Miss Hooker
son is best known, she is called the

of her In these words:
Miss Hockerson's father was a
blind pianist. He died about FIVE
years ago and as a dying wish asked
me to look after her musical welfare
and development. She has studied

age of fourteen played the most
difficult compositions by Vieuxtemps,
Ernst and Wieniawski with the

WHY BIRTHS SHOULD BE
REGISTERED

l. Because many heads of fami-
lies do not record the births and
deaths that occur in their families
in a family bible, consequently, un-
less the State makes these records,
none will be kept.
2. A boy should be able to ap-
peal to some authentic record to
show when he is entitled to vote, to
take charge of property that be-
longs to, him; when he becomes liza
BILE to military, road and jury duty,
and also when he becomes exempt
from these duties.
3. A girl wants to know when
she will reach the age at which she
can legally marry, and also when
she can take possession of property
that belongs to her.
4. Both want to be able when
their parents are dead to establish
their right to inheritance, either
from their parents, or from a dis,
tant relative.
5. When death comes the com.
munity and the State ought to know
what the age of the individual was,
in order to determine whether the
people or dying too young, or
whether they are living to a ripe
old age.
6. The State, the boards of
health, and all ought to know of
what diseases people die, in order
to mature the best measures for
preventing such diseases.
7. The State ard the people
ought to know how many deaths
occur from homicide, suicide. vio-
lence, occupational diseases, etc.,
in order that steps may be taken to
prevent, or to diminish, deaths from
these causes.

FEDERAL BUILDING FOR

Congressman Carl Hayden is con

congress for the construction of a
federal building in Globe. Al
though it is feared that it will be
some time before the money can be
obtained and the new buildidg

given his word that he will keep up

Since the establishment of Globe

SUNDAY SPORTS

1t seems to be impossible for SAT-
ford to get away from the idea that
the Sabbath was designed for any
other purpose but one of boisterous
sport. In no other place in our
country do we hear of wild west
shows, horse races and the like on
Sundays, but everytime bunch Of
wild riders lands anywhere within
a hundred miles of our town. it is a
sure thing that they will come here
and that Sunday will be included in
the days advertised for this alleged
entertainment.
The sports INDUCED in are not
elevating, entertaining, or the least
helpful, rather they are the kind
that leads to bad morals, which
comes from the habit of betting on
the events and these things them
selves result in bad feelings and &C.
cusations of crooked work which
later lead to assaults and hearings
in the police court.
Sunday was not meant for the
kind of pleasure such as was lately
INDUCED by a large number of our
younger element and the authorities
who have the power, should see that
it will be impossible hereafter for
any more of this class of exhibitions
to be pulled off in this town on the
Sabbath. They are bad enough, the
Lord knows, on a weekday, but they
should never take place on Sunday.
President Andrew Kimball, of the
Mormon Church, condemns this
practice and people of other denom-
nations have also protested against
the desecration of the Sabbath.
President Kimball says 80 per cent
of the good people of this valley raise
their voice against Sunday desecra-
tion.
Races and other wild and noisy
sports are not in keeping with the
feeling of a christian people. SAT-
ford won't gain anything by tlaunt-
ing these things before the people
and inducing the young away from
the home circle and sacred obiga-
tions on the Sabbath day.
This is given in the kindest of
spirit from friend to Stafford.

MARINES ARE IMMUNE

In marked contrast to the fate of
the French army in its conquest of
Haiti, when thousands fell victim to
plague and pestilence, is the expert
ence of the United States Marine
Corps in its pacifcation work in that
war-torn little Caribbean republic.
Medical officers. in reports just re-
ceived by headquarters of the Ma
rine Corps in Washington, state that
the health of the Marines could not
be better despite the fact that they
have often been called upon to
march twenty miles a day over
rough mountainous roads, under q
blistering tropical sun, and under
conditions of actual warfare.
Haiti. according to these medical
officers, has had for over hundred
years the reputation of being one
Of the most unhealthy spots in the
world, and it has been the common
belief that no white man could live
there when subjected to hardship
and exposure. But it remained for
our Marines to disprove this theory.
They have had great experience in
climates closely resembling that of
Haiti, and have learned to take the
necessary precautions so essential
to the maintainence of perfect
health in the tropics.
Foot troubles were few and far
between. the medical officers say,
and the deaths have been caused by
bullets. not disease.

Jaroslav Kocian have pronounced
her a remarkable genius and have
both predicted a brilliant future for

At the age of fourteen she gave
complete violin recitals here in Lin

musicians.
There is nothing effeminate or
weak about her playing. Her tone
is really superior in breadth and
firmness to most men players.
Miss Hockerson comes from a
musical family. Her sister is a
splendid pianist and her younger
brother plays the violin remarkably
well. Her mother is a teacher of
the piano.
Miss Garten is not only an ac-
complishcd singer, but has a voice
of great sympathy. She has rare
gift as a reader. She has appeared
on Redpath Chautauquas during
one entire season and scored big
successes everywhere.
Miss Garten is the type of girl

of her. She has a world of enthus-
iasm, great ambition and wonderful
powers. In appearance, she is de-
cidedly striking. is natural and un-
affected in her work.
Miss Ingram lives in Kansas City.
Her talents were first shown in her
work with the Kansas City Musical
and Dramatic Club. This club is
made up of more than a hundred
and fifty people who have musical
and dramatic ability. Her voice is
a lyric soprano. Her most recent
successes have been in musical COM
edy and light opera. She played
the part of Lady Margaret Primrose

Another charge is that the Hunt

He quotes the Century dictionary to
prove that foreign" means alien"
and continues:
The choice of this word then is
most feIicitous for the reason that
the serious industrial situation now
existing at Clifton and Morenci,
where thousands of helpless women,
children and workingmen are in
woeful want, is product of foreign
methods of industry, conceived by
foreigners and supported mainly
by foreign capital. If foreign

that when people employing foreign
capital in Arizona show marked in
difference toward a settlement of
the Clifton-Morenci rike, contem-
poraneously with the levying of a
heavy income tax by the English ma.
ton, their disloyalty to their own
country becomes manifest, and the
measure of their loyalty to Arizona
is laid open to conjecture.
Gov. Hunt vigorously denies that
the business of the State can be
administered for a fraction of what
it now costs, and with infinitely
greater efficiency" He claims that
of every dollar raised in Arizona by
taxation only four cents is expended
in the capitol.
