this season and received for same
.$l40.45 of which he cleared $92. Mr..
Lee finds head lettuce an easy crop
to grow and the above figured out
will show that the profit per acre
is over $500. Mr.. Lee is putting in
many thousands of celery plants and
it is we'll known here that Lees
celery is hard to beat.

and farms about 20 acres in his spare

not such good fortune with his cab
bage this year. he admits he grew
the poorest cabbage of all the grow
ers and only cleaned up $500 per
acre.
He waters his cabbage with "a
inches of water where SC to 40 are
commonly used,
Mr.. Lee was the man who started
commercial cabbage raising here and
he wishes now to help the growing
of celery to the carload point. To
this end he offers to give free of
charge 10000 celery plants to Me-
silla valley growers. Get in and get

RIGHTLY AND WISELY.

The ]. w. VS. profess to hate al
government and in practice they vio-
late all laws. From the time they
first attracted attention by the out
RACES and murders committed in San
Diego, their course has been marked
by violence and bloodshed.
With a powerful secret organiza-
ton committed to the policy of burn
ing and dynamiting and taking hui
man life, law-abiding citizens must
deal with whatever weapons they
find effective. The Industrial Work
ers Of the World have no regard for
the s%anc!ty Of the oath. They regard
il as an instrument of the govern
mcnt TO which they are opposed.
hence they have ready alibis for their
criminal acts. The courts, as a rule.
convict them, because they
in the dark and are wines
,cs for each other.
The consequence IS that decent,
Iaw-abiding people either must sub
nit TO /. w, w. rule or take the law
in their own hands for the p%rotec-
ton OF their lives and their pro-
perty, as the people of Bisbee did
very rightly and wisely.-Albuquer-

LIBERTY BONDS FOR FARMERS

1t has been repeatedly pointed out
that in purchasing Liberty Loan
Bonds the farmers of the United
State. we're furnishing the means to
their best customers to purchase the
products of their farms. Much Of the
proceeds of the Liberty Loan. both
that used by the United States Co
vernment and the amount loaned
to the Allies, is to be expended in
purchasing food and supplies for
their armies from the farmers of
the country. There are other rea-
sons however that make the Liberty
Loan Bonds especially desirable in
vestments for farmers.
A safe investment is particularly
suited to a farmer because he is in
most instances at a distance from
bond markets and not IN position
either TO know Of or immediately
act upon information Of matters af-
fecting the value Of bonds. The Lib
ertv Loan Bonds are 'nvincibly safe
backed as they are by the resources
of the richest nation in the world
and the faith and credit Of 4 peo-
pie who have always respected Their
Obligations. and they are of stable
value and liable to little or no fluc-
fuations in market value.

A CONCLUSION.

The president has notified the GO
vernors of the troubled states that
after the first day of August no u
nited States troops will be used to
guard any industries not of major
Importance, and with it comes the
information that the copper and coal
mines of the country are not of
major Importance in the opinion of
some gentlman in high authority; a
gentleman who is yet to learn some
thing in the science of both govern
ment and war.
However, as it is the evident in
tention of the government to with
draw troops from the states, it forces
the conclusion that unless someone
changes his mind there will be no
escort for the Industrial
Workers of the World who wish
to return to Bisbee and the neigh
boring towns, and rs the Ameri-
can citizens Of those towns show
no repentance, but openly announce
their determination to keep out
every ]. w. W.. and continue to back
that determination with armed
guards. we further conclude that the
Industrial Workers Of the World will
not return to Bisbee and the neigh
towns, not for some time, at
We are informed that there is no
under which these men can be
We are further informed
that there is no law to prevent their
returning at their pleasure. We,
therefore. conclude that when there
is no law to fit the case, a deter
American with a gun makes
a very far ard tolerably effective
imitation of a constitutional amend
ment-and it goes.
And. law or no law. the good peo-
pc of Arizona have the applause of
entire American population of
these United States for knowing
TO do and when 10 do it.
