Here is the sign posting truck of the Goodrich Tire company, which ar rived in Phoenix Monday from Yuma and leaves today for Prescott and the Grand Canyon.
 Equipped with five years of eXper- fence in this work, Chester Lamb in charge of the truck. is prepared to say that signing roads in Arizona is quite some job of work. Two miles is the average distance between signs, be- cause roads are in many instances so faintly traced they must be plainly marked, or so cut up by hills that frequent warning signs are needed.
 Lamb, who has worked in 26 states with the. Goodrich sign truck, is ac- companied on this tour by J. J. Robin son. They work out of the Akron of flee. At present they are assigned to the quadrangle formed by Fl pasO,

GRAVES INDIAN SHOP

Eastern tourists frequently remark
 when first they enter the Graves In-
 dian Shop that it is not only the most
 interesting store they have seen, but
 the most beautiful. A look at the win dows at Graves last evening explains
 why it really is not a hard task for Graves to make such fine displays both inside his store and in his windows. The big Indian blankets with their bright, contrasting colors, the rare baskets, of curious design, the old Nav. ajo jewelry, the beautiful water-colors of Arizona scenes, are just the sort of objects that lend themselves to the most artistic displays. While other stores sometimes have to seek other sources for unusual and distinctive ar ticles with which to attract attention, the big curiO dealer, like the Graves shop, simply goes to his regular, gen. eral stock.

 "The National Guard of this state, outside of Phoenix, is in as good con- dition as it has ever been, some com panies are much better You must re- member that federal inspection re- port is to a certain extent only the personal opinions of the inspecting of- ficer. The absolute fairness of the re- port depends on the impartiality of the officer making the inspection. For in- stance last year Captain Stacey was of the opinion, which he expressed. that Company A was in the best condition of any company in the state ana wn.Id pass the annual inspection. Captain Fuqua, who made the inspection cr:ti- cism, gave "A company the worst re- port of any company in the state, con- siderinG the large number of linen present and stated that the discipline was poor and the drill poor On the receipt of this information from the war department l sent the letter { . Captain Gulley with instructions that this condition must be corrected be- fore the next inspection On January Sth l again notified the company con. manders. that they must pass tine re- cent inspection and would be held re- spOnsible.
 If the citizens of Phoenix want real efficient companies in Phoenix I will have their wholehearted support to make Of the Phoenix companies eff cient companies, and can assure them that no politics will enter into or in- fiuence my actions as long as l am adjutant general.
 T want to say further that no officer who is not loyal to his superiors is fit to be an officer, that the man who will be disloyal in time of peace will be dis loyal in time of war. As with the of ficcrs, so with the men. l compliment the few remaining men of Company 'A' in their loyalty to their formef com- pany commander in military way. It IS the right spirit, it is what makes a soldier, absolute confidence and SUD- bort. Without that no officer in tic field could succeed and without that confidence and discipline no company will succeed in time of peace.
 "l do not feel at liberty to use of- ficial correspondence to answer the mass of unconfirmed rumors and re- ports published. No soldier has tie right to so betray the confidence i'm posed in him by his superiors and for. tunately in this case it is not necessary as the mass of the people of Arizona know the real reason for the attack on the guard and the contemptible poli tical motives underlying the attack. ,, The statements about the loss of prop erty are untrue and the loss in Com pany A must be charged to ineffi- ciency for orders were issued by this office nearly a year ago covering active service and had those orders been obeyed there would be no loss"

 For the Arizona roads they are using steel posts, set three feet in the ground and carrying steel, shotgun proof signs, with the letters bored and filled with aluminus, all same the slgns set in the concrete curbs on many Phoenix street corners.
 The road from Yuma is in fair con- dition, but the Agua Fria is a bother and bore. The worst stretch is be- tween Palomas and Agua Caliente-fif- teen miles.

Relieved from further service in connection with the National Guard of Arizona" That is the substance of communication received at the office of Governor Hunt. relating to Captain Cromwell Stacey, for the past eighteen months, instructor-inspe of the citizen soldiery of this state.

WHAT'S EATING THE: ARMY
There isn't any doubt but snobbery,
social caste and feudalism are
whats the matter with our army
as Gibson Gardner discloses in his
Washington correspondence.
Most officers treat the priVates as
yellow dogs and most officers are Of
ficers through appointment to West
Point by political pull and promotion
by political pull. We have the old
English system in all respects save
the buying of positions with cash. And
the snobbery and brutality run from
the ranks right up to the highest
grades. The hatred held by lower
grade men toward their superiors is
so strong and well-founded that, I'M
less there is a speedy cure for it, we
shall have, in our next actual war,
whole lot of officers shot in the back
with their faces toward the enemy.
In every army post snobbery and
caste nastiness are rife among Of
ficers' wives and other female at ,
taches. The social lines are so sharp
ly drawn as to be utterly silly and
shameful as well as undemocratic
and harmful. envy and hatred choke.
anything like respect or self-respect.
A very large percentage of our Of
ficer factory's product at West Point
are born snobs, educated snobs and
confirmed as snobs by our military
system. Until recruiting Of officers
from the ranks and promotion on the
basis of merit become the rule, rath-
er than the exception, we will do well
to make almighty close study of the
subject of CONSUMPTION. = Isl,
