WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
continued From Page n.

of she crop, and probably not less than
twenty-five per cent has been sold or
contracted for, which is something on
the same order, though not just the
same, as will be apparent at delivery
time. Indeed, the prediction is freely
made that there will be lot of trou-
BILE between the grower and buyer
when the time for delivery is here.
The reports from the 1915 packing
shows that it is goods chat will sfnd a
steady market. And it is tobacco that
will enable the packers to make some
money. The outside packers would
sweep it. up pretty quickly if they
could get it at their figures, but they
must pay the price or leave it alone.
About the only goods that appears to
around is 1914 tobacco, and not much of
it, either.
The cigar industry appears fairly
prosperous, and the manufacturers are
looking ahead to very busy months, as
orders are now coming in for Christ
mas goods.

Another initiated law has been
knocked into cooked hat by the Sup
RENE court of the state. The cold
age and mothers pension act" was
killed by the heartless machinery Of
the law. Just why some one invented
the bright idea for selling all the
county farms and aims house and
turning the inmates lose with a GER
tain allowance; if they were sick and
helpless, it was up to them to find a
place to be cared for at the pittance
allowed them; because it was called
"a mothers and old age pension act"
people swallowed it hook, line and
sinker II the law had been enforced
or an attempt had been made to in
force it, civil war would have result
ed, as the lame, the halt and the blind
were turned out to hustle for them
selves on $40 or SIS per month.

OUR P0ST0FF|CE BILL DON'T
seem TO GET ACQUAINTED

The bills that were introduced for
postoffice site and the 100000 for
a new postoffice building for Flagstaff
are still introduced but do not seem to
be making many acquaintance among
the members Of congress or the senate.
They were good old bills and may
have answered their purpose the same
as number of the same kinds Of
bills for other towns in the state. It
is hoped that the people in this poll
teal year Of our Lord, nineteen hun
dred and sixteen, will be thoroughly
pleased with the introduction of these
bills and let it go at that. OF course
the postoffice building, also a site or
a sight, is needed for the accmomoda-
ton of the people, but since the peo-
pie can be flim-famed by the mere in
PRODUCTION Of bill, what's the use Of
bothering about working it through
The Flagstaff postoffice would pay
for the building in less than ten
years, and during that time the peo-
pie might be able to get some little
service out Of it, instead Of being
compelled to get along the best they
can. 1t is not exactly all the govern

present tariff law, which has proved
to be such dismal failure, pigeon
holed the Hill bill, and propose abso-
lutely to disregard the duties carried
therein. 1t is reported that the DEM
ocratic dyestuffs bill will be drafted
by experts in the Department of
Commerce. $50 far, about every i'm
portant bill presented to Congress
since the Democrats assumed power,
has been drafted by some so-called
expert" The present majority body
is unable to draft its own legislation.
Representatives of dye industries will
have no voice in bill vitality concern
ing them. Meanwhile, they are going
ahead extending their industries, firm
in the belief that next year will find in
power the party under which business
grew and expanded, until cut down by
the drunken sword-play of Democrat
ic tariff wreckers. The tariff on dye
stuffs adopted by the Ways and
Means Committee will have a short
shrift following its enactment into
law.

Now is the time for the democratic
party to wallop the republican mem
Der of the late NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Crabb Of Navajo county, and point
out just why he prevented any legis-
lation on the prohibition amendment
to the constitution. He was the sole
republican member and should be
thoroughly condemned by the demo-
cratic party for having prevented
them from legislating on the subject
so dear to their hearts. But he, alone
against eighteen tried and true dem
ocrats, stood firm and prevented them
from legislating on this subject. In
fact he must have Grabbed the whole
game. Well, Mary Ann, amt it sad,
when us democrats, house and senate,
with all our wailing and weeping for
prohibition; with all the preachers, or
most of them, can't convince this
crool republican that he should help
us make this state respectable, but
our efforts are neutrality-suspicious. I'M
vailing to some Of us--he stands pat,
and what could us democrats do. 1t
was impossible for us to make it I'M
animous, consequently we did nothing
and the people. We, therefore, the
democrats Of the great state of Ari
IONA, are for the drys and the vets,
and if necessary will throw it into the
intermediate-this could offend no
one, and no one will get wise until we
get in again.

Mr.. w. H. Simpson, general adver-
Using agent for the Santa Fe, accom-

Chicago Monday, with Mr.. E. H.
Kemp of San Francisco, the Santa Fe
photographer. The party visited the
Cliff Dwellings, Sunset Mountain and
many other points of interest around
Flagstaff for the purpose of securing
more views of this country to use in
his work of advertising.
The demand for literature concern
ing this country has been rapidly in
creasing during the past few years,
eastern people seemingly have COM
menced to find out about the wonders
Of Northern Arizona and are more
and more tempted to visit us. The
Santa Fe company is vast distribut-
ing agency of advertising and this
particular department has assumed
enormous proportions in the past few
years.

NEW DEPUTY SUPERVISOR
FOR COCONINO FOREST

Mr.. Russell F. Balthis reported at
the local forest supervisors office on
July 5, to be permanently assigned
here as deputy supervisor on the Co
conino forest. Mr.. and Mrs. Balthis
and little son, Russell Jr., are now
living in the Craig bungalow on Asp
en- avenue Mr.. Balthis has been in
the-forest service for nine years, his
first assignment in the forest service
having been or the Coconino forest in
1907. Since that time he was assign

Magdalena, N. NJ, for three years and
later being transferred to the Alamo
forest, with headquarters at Cloud

years, having been in charge Of that
forest for six years. Mr.. Balthis is a
forestry graduate of the Iowa State
College, Ames, Iowa, and was born
in Iowa, as well as Mrs. Balthis. From
his long experience in the forest SER
vice he was chosen to serve as deputy
supervisor on the Coconino forest,
which is one of he most important

Street Paving Coming Along Fine

Street Paving Coming Along Fine
The work of street paving is NOV
ing along nicely with three blocks
practically completed and block on
Aspen avenue ready for the cost of
asphalt and finishing touches. Leroux
street is now receiving the attention
of the swampers who are putting it
down to grade. Traffic has had a
rather strenuous time Of it in being
able to get where they wanted to go,
but people generally feel that they
are going to like it when it is COM
pleted, and believe that it will be
down to stay. There has been no
jangle with the company or it's rep
resentatives, in fact they have done
just little bit more than the con-
tract called for to make sure the job
was one that every one would approve
Of when completed.
City Engineer C. M. Brooks has had
his hands full watching his stakes,
making grades, keeping ahead Of the
concrete gangs and overseeing the

The regular army can truthfully
say to Mexico, when the militia ar
rives on the border: Here is my big
brother, now what are you going to
do about it?". A boy is only "tin
soldier" when he belongs to the mill
tia, but when he is needed at the
front, he is the second line of the
soldiers of the, United States and it
isn't long before he is well along up
in the first line. The real patriotism
Of Americans has been diluted
solely through the politics of political
"tin soldiers" not through the rank
and file of the young men of the coun-
try. What they have always wanted
was an honest leader for an honest
cause. Americans are naturally pat
riotic and are willing to sacrifice their
lives for the good Of their country,
but they are slow to give up their all
for few who are only attempting to
gain selfish, financial advancement.
There is no difference when we are
fighting for civil liberty, the rich and
the poor are all alike, a few short
years and time has taken its toll
shall we pass on leaving history to re-
count us as cringing towards, or, give
by reason of our narrow mound of
earth, courage to others to carry on
the battle few years further, to the
ultimate goal where the human race
may at last reason with one another
instead Of wading in blood, wrecking
the world as it were, just for the pur-
pose Of power. The great leaders Of
today are the leaders who are leading
the people into that great realm Of
hope, happiness, clean lives, the bet
terment Of mankind; the whole world
gained by wading through rivers Of
blood bring about nothing but the real
truth--the craze for power in the few
which is Of no. value to the present or
future encumbents Of the whole earth

who feels that manual labor is too
tiresome, especially when it is possible
for him to turn over a few hundred

can control because of his untiring
tongue; could be eliminated by the

the freight and is induced to vote for
exactly the kind of a man that he does

ment's fault, though the Lord knows
how long these officials have to be
told before they know; it is mainly
the fault Of Arizona's representatives
who think that the introduction Of
bill is all that Is necessary and that
the people have been fully served
when that is done. What the people
would like is some service; it can't be
that a democrat in democratic con-
gress has no power whatever-if that
is true and it begins to look like It,
there should be reversal Of political
sentiment in order that the people
could get a small portion at least Of
what they pay for.
Flagstaff needs postoffice building
it needs it because the business OF
the office and the business Of the peo-
pie can not get along without it. The
profits go to the government to pay
for dead horses elsewhere, in more
favored communicative can't use
our own money to get better accom-
modations; it is government owned
institution in which necessities and
progress can only be had through suf-
ficient political power.
When you stop to think, comparing
the postal service conditions, how
would you like to have the railroads
and other public utilities under the
same management?

While thinking of the poor soldier
in Europe, it occurs to US that we
have whole lot of young fellows
down on the border who have left
their homes and good jobs and are be-
ing compelled to eat the old army ra-
ton because they have but little
money to go on; they would nightly
appreciate a box of good things if
they were got together and sent them,
not only the good things to eat, but
the feeling that their friends thought
of them while they were away on a
dangerous errand for their country.
