though one of the youngest men in
British official life, Mr.. Montagu had
been frequently referred to as one of
the nations most brilliant men, and
has often been consulted when big
questions of international interest
were being discussed.
Mr. Montagu was married not long
ago to the Hon. Miss Stanley, young
est daughter of Lord Sheffield, leader
of the Congregationalist Church in
England. Previous to her marriage
Miss Stanley adopted the Jewish
faith. Mr.. Montagu's father was Lord
Swaithling, at the time of his death
the foremost orthodox Jew in Eng
land.
Another prominent Britisher of
Jewish blood is Sir Samuel Mon
tague, a multi-millionaire fnancier,
baronet and former member of Par
lament, who has frequently been hon
ored for his work in behalf of the
government and for his contributions
to various charitable organizations.

as the modern Moses of his historic
race.
Still another prominent Jew who
has won signal honors from the Brit
ish Government is Edwin Samuel
Montagu, at present Chancellor of
the Duchy of Lancaster and formerly
Financial Secretary to the Treasury.
He is cousin of Herbert Samuel,

London, Oct. g. General John Mo-
nash, a Jew of Austrian birth, has
been promoted to the rank of ma jor
general, according to an official an
nouncement from the British War Of
flee. At the same time the gazetting
of Brigadier General H. S. Seligman
was also announced. He is the first
Jew of English birth to attain this
rank in the Kings army.
Major General Monash is one of
the most brilliant and popular of Eng
lands commanding officers and has
risen to the high rang he now occu-
pies solely through his abilities, both
as strategist and fighter. He has
seen considerable service and has fire.
quently been mentioned for his work.
Like General Monash, Brigadier
General Seligman is a noted soldier
and one of the most brilliant of Eng
lands commanding officers. He, too,
has seen much service, both at home
and overseas. Announcement of their
promotion was received in army cir
cles with pronounced enthusiasm.
Jews, in large numbers, both of
British and foreign birth, are fighting
with the Kings troops on the various
battle fronts, numbers of whom have
been decorated or mentioned in dis
patches for their bravery under fire.
In addition to those serving with the
colors, scores of Jews are engaged in
hospital field work, either with the
Red Cross or relief organizations.
Several noted doctors and surgeons of
Jewish birth, as we'll as many fenin-
inc nurses, are at the front or engaged
in hospital work at home
Jewish merchants, bankers and 9TH
ers engaged in the various branches of
commercial and financial life in this
and other cities throughout the empire
have contributed large sums of money
to various relief organizations.
With the promotion of Generals
Monash and Seligman it is interesting
to note the number of men of Jewish
birth who are to-day occupying high
positions in the official and financial
life of the British empire.
Most prominent among them may
be mentioned Baron Redding (Rufus
Isaacs), now Lord Chief Justice of
England, who began his career as
sailor, later became a stock broker
and finally one of the most famous

I cannot close without telling you

home for a few weeks. The first

Information in Farmers Bulletin.

Every farmer should get a copy of the Arizona Experiment Station Bulletin No. 35 on Veget- able Growing in Southern Ariz- ona, says A. l.. Paschall. farm advisor, Cochise Santa Cruz counties. This contains excel lent information which every farmer in southern Arizona should have. It seems that very few farmers know that this bull letin has been published. An other valuable publication is a Circular on the Growing of Beans and Cowpeas in Arizona. This circular should be in the hands of every farmer who produces these crops. Many questions which are being asked about the culture of beans and cowpeas are answered in this circular.
 Any farmer can get these bull letins by addressing the Agricul- tural Extension Service. Tucson, Ariz.

Plain Truth About Our City Water.
To the People:

To the People:
 In Sundays Herald was print ed a letter, signed Citizen, " making absurd statements about the towns water supply. Notice is taken of this foolish letter only because many innocent peO pie, not knowing the truth about our city water, have become alarmed by "Citizen's" silly com plaint.
 Here are water facts:
 The tank, holding a million gallons. is 16O feet above the town; it is high walled, cement ed and screened and completely roofed in. No rat, mouse, or lizard could possibly drop into the water.
 The tank bottom and walls are white and clean; about every forty eight hours the water in the tank is completely changed, some 10000 gallons per day being pumped in. Water feeds in at the bottom, and is drawn off at the bottom; always in mo- tion, it automatically cleanses the tank. About every three days the tank is allowed to over flow. that any stray dcst parti- cleS fallen on the surface may escape.
 Time and again this water has been analysed and each time found spure and wholesome. There lis none better Tn the SOl1tbWQSt
 The mayor and council are chosen to serve the people-and give quick, courteous attention to honest complaints. If true citizens find errors in the man. agement, we will welcome such citizens, give them ear, and hasten to correct real errors. But annonymous letters abusing public officials are the recourse of the timid, of cranks and pol troOns; one worthy to be called CITIZEN will come in person with his grievance, hiding be- hind nor pSeudonym.
 Respectfully,
 H. M. CLAGETT, Mayor.
 P. S.-Yes, the old pumping plant is being repaired. Any accident to the present system would leave NogaleS without water-and ROCCO people thirsty. Better the old plant than none, in such an emergency; it served the town we'll for many years and the sewer outlet is FAR BE LOW IT.. HI. M. c.
