TRAGIC DEATH IF .
 MRs. ROBERTSON
Unfortunate Woman Pinned Beneath Auto; Husband Was in Phoenix At Time of Accident.

 killed in an automobile accident near
 that place early On Sunday morning
 In the evening in the company of MT.
 and Mrs C. E. Hogue and Mr. and Mrs.
 Philip Norton she went to dancing
 party at Miami. The Norton's being
 obliged to return early, Mrs. Robertson
 and MT. and Mrs. Hogue started on their return to Globe about one o'clock in the morning with other friends.
 It was a bright moonlight morning and the party set out on a ride along a thOroughfare known as the Reser- voir Road They came to a place where the road had been changed and the driver, being deceived by some wheel tracks, drove over a seven foot embankment. The car was overturned That all of the occupants were not killed is due to the fact that one side of it lodged upon a barbed wire fence But one side of the machine fell upon Mrs. Robertson, killing her in- stantly. None of the other members of the party were seriously injured and some of them escaped without the slightest injury
 The husband of Mrs. Robertson was l in Phoenix at the time of the accident ready to start back to Globe where hs | is employed in the assaying depart ! ment of one of the large mining com panies. He had been undergoing treat l ment for his eyes. Mrs. Robertson was l a daughter of the late Philip Drachmar l of Tucson and a sister of Senator Nose Drachman and Harry A. Drachman The funeral and jnterment of Mrs Robertson took place at Tucson where
 she was born thirty one years ago.

 The tractor, department officials say, does not mean an increased m- vestment for the farmer. It is mere ly a question of selling few horses to make the substitution. It does more horse-work on a barrel of dis tillate, or gasoline, then six to ten horses will do on an equal expendi- ture for hay or oats.
 In France, the government gives a subsidy to farmers to help them buy tractors-one-t third the price of the machine. If the farmer has suffered from the war, he gets one-haf the price. American tractors are now in us on French farms.
 "I5 has been shown that the Amer ican farmer uses more power than is use. in all branches of manufactur- ing in the country" said c. B. Lauderback, of Anderson, tractor ex- pert. who has been conferring with war department officials on a tractor for military use. Tractors are be- coming an absolute necessity for farmers. The light tractor is the solution of the farm power question. If any farmer doubts that he can do more work and get greater results and bigger profits, at a less cost, with an effective light tractor, I will be .;lad to show him just how he can So it." >

The Submarine,

The renewed, and the so far unrestricted activity Of the German submarines in all and within the shadowof the chalk cliffs of English coast rather dsposcs of the fancfu descriptions of the methods the British had invented to dispose of sub- marine warfare.
 After period of activity of months last spring and summer in which many vessels were de- stroyed, there cessation of submarine opera tions and long period ensued in which undersea attacks not reported. This period was produc- tive of numerous newspaper and magazine stories appearing in scientific technical jour nals describing the devices by which the submarines had been suppressed These were so generally accepted in this country that the waning faith in bat tleships restored and came to believe that the reign of the submarine had very brief and that warfare.
 Submarines had been taken, told by iron and by of a snare similar to that with which used to capture fish that were too wise to be lured by fat ange-worm. There was though far as recall, well authenticated instances of such captures Now and then a sub marine was sunk by fast motor boat or destroyer by armed merchantmen which had had a warn ing of it's presence.
 Then came the announcement by Germany. that the submarine warfare would be renewed on March l broader scale than and that it would be conducted with somewhat less discrimination than had formerly characterized it. It was reported too though not officially, that new type of submarine swifter and larger would be employed by the Ger mans but there is authentic information on that point there was of the Brit.sn devices for taking the older U boats.
 But since March there has been a great destruc- tion of allied vessels Many of them have been sunk

The Arizona National Guard.

Undoubtedly the people of Arizona will be serious ly disturbed learn of the condition of the national guard of this state which all parties to the controversy that has been disclosed is in sad state of in efficiency probably the lowest ebb in the history of the national guard in Arizona Two three years ago citizens could have been aroused to much in- terest in the guard. Perhaps majority of them could have been brought then dispense alto gether. But we have come upon different times Pre- paredness is in the air and in almost every steps have been taken to bring the militia into state of greater efficiency. +-.-sr.-.
 Just now too. many who have hitherto taken no interest in the guard taking deep interest. That is especially true as to the states along the border While apprehension of invasion from that. di- rection need be entertained now since the federal troops guarding the border pursuing their way southward, is realized that the places of the regulars the border would have to be taken by national guardsmen in very stubborn oppos- iton to the American troops in Mexico should develop
 It would be Arizona's shame if should happen in such event that guardsmen from other states should have to be the army posts in this state the border points in this because of the ncfficiency or the insufficiency of national guard There would be something than shame We should probably feel in a very material way the country's disapproval of us. Investors would turn away from state whose incapacity to protect itself and to guard life and property rights should be so widely and disgracefuy advertised
 As to the cause of the present state of the guard citizens will judgment until all the facts are laid before them The charge has been made that the guard has become part of the governors political machine that officers who not in sympathy with the administration have been quietly eliminated to make places ultimately for those are sympathetic and who may be given desirable biets when the Hay bill passes and becomes effective. The use of the guard during the Clifton strike been responsible in part it is charged for the defection use is pointed out proof that the guard was made a part of political machine
 On the other hand, it is claimed that the state of the guard is result of the efforts of regular army clique at Washington destroy the efficiency of the guard not only here but in all parts of the country Whether or not any of the charges on one such charge is made involving the regular army ac- counts for the friction that exists between na- tional guard heads here and the department. Until that friction is removed there can be no ef- fciency of the national guard in this state.
 This matter will almost certainly engage the at enton of the citizens of this who renewed interest in the guard will that the causes of it's present low estate be And if they are not removed it is certain that the guard cease to No legislature (and legislatures lately have not been enthusiastic concerning the guard) will make appropriations for it's continuance

Judge Lockwood of Cochise county has the right idea in dealing with juvenile offenders. He orders them thoroughly whipped and that is punishment that the bad boy considers degrading than being sent to the reform school. boy may regard himself hero in the latter case but any boy who finds anything heroic in getting good old fash toned licking, has lively imagination. This form of punishment, too is nudge to parents that they have been remiss.
