ARIZONA NOTES.
Items of Interest CulIed From Our
 Exchanges.

Twelve thousand acres of land in the Bowie valley have been purchased by California capit- alists and homeseekers who will at once begin the work of con verting the land into farms. The land will be irrigated by pump ing.
 Prosperity is rampant in the Ray district, and at the bigin- ming of another year Ray busi ness men are full of optimis n camp. Everywhere are to be found the substantial evidences of prosperity. The highest wages in the history of the dis trict are being paid, every body is busy and contented, and best of all there is every prospect l that this state of affairs is going to continue.
 The old Slocum mine, thirteen miles north of Glendale, has been taken over by the Jerome Butte Copper Company, which will begin operations almost at once. The company is planning to lease a 15O ton smelter six miles north of the Siocum for | the treatment of it's ores from that district. Eighteen claims are included in the Slocum group and show good values of gold, silver and copper, the latter run ming six per cent and $500 tou in gold.
 Turkeys can be raised to better advanta ge in Arizona than any where in the United States. The place most desirable for raising them is on irrigated or dry farms located close to the open range. The only difficulty in such place would be danger from coyotes, and the dreaded black head disease which has played havoc with the birds in other places. In such 9 location the turkeys will gather practically from the time they are a month old until within one month of Thanksgiving time, when they should be fed liberally on con centrated foods.
 Interviews with Phoenix cat tleman including l.. L.. Harmon, president of the Arizona Cattle Growers association. Chas. ,Mul- len, former president of the Ari- zona Cattle Growers association, and Dwight B. Heard, president of the Arizona National Live stock association, indicated that owing to the great importance of the subjects which will be under discussion by the commit tees of the American National, :, and in tue public meetings of the association, at it's annual conven- tion to te held in Cheyenne, Wyoming, on the 18th, 18th and 10th of January, there will be a large attendance of stockmen | from Arizona.

A rate bearing will be held in the federal court at Phoenix Feb. 9 to decide wheter rail roads are entitled to charge more for passage from eastern points to Arizona than they do from the same point to points in the noun tain states in the north. The rates to Arizona are about the same as those to California also. The case is brought by the Ari- zona corporation commission.

as other portions of the state, where
there is fondness for native wine.
The attorney general holds that "the
bone dry law has nothing to do with
the making of wine, and while it is
not my duty to advise officially | know
of no statute which would prevent one
from making wine for their own per-
sonal use, so long as it was not sold
or transported from one place to an
other" Some of our Italian friends
were constituting the bone dry law
as preventing them from making
grape wine for their own home use.

HERE'S TO THE GUARD!

Here's to the guard Hats off to
our volunteers!
This has been the Democrats slo-
gan for some while, we have more
company in the refrain now.
Because, for every enlisted volun-
teer guardsman the net quota to be
drafted in the first national conscript
army was lessened. In other words,
every volunteer-either for the guard
or for a branch of the regular mill
tary service-took the place of one of
the gross quota to be eonscr; otee
In Washington county, for instance
the gross quota for the first rational
army is 286. But, up to date. there
are 210 volunteers for the regular
army and guard-mostly aguard-so
the net quota to be conscriptcd in this
county is only rs. Only rs men, then,
instead of 286 will be drafted from
this county.
More and more during recent years

been bettered, more and more has the
organization been bettered. more and
more has the organization been appre-
ciated. Still, the stigma, scar from
healed wounds of years past, has been
hard to conceal.

fight; Arkansas is no exception in
this regard But there has been sue
cessful progress and they are rapid
" reaching the point where they will
command the most sincere popular adj
miration.
Every man that would likely have
been subject to draft under the first
.gross quota" but whose name was
not reached in the draft for service by
reason of allowances fer volunteers
IS directly indebted to the national
| guardsmen. We say these eligibles
are indebted" because the fact that
they have not volunteered is fairly
good evidence that they prefer not to
90 into the service at this time,-a
great majority of those registered,
and no odium attaches to their frame
of mind, will gladly answer their
eountry's call but they are not overly
anxious for the call to strike them,
they are willing yet apprehensiye.. So
such men as are exempted from the
first call by reason of volunteers are
indebted to these volunteers.
And We mention particularly the
national guard because most of our
volunteers were for the guard and be
cause the guard has never been given
the consideration to which t is entl-
tied.
There is one thing certain. Those
exempted by reason of volunteers will
have friendlier feeling for the mill
tia: they will realize that the volun-
teer guardsman counted just as much
in reducing the net quota as the volan-
teer regular.
After all, the only difference be-
tween the regular and the guardsman
IS a difference of experienee,-and on
the battle front in Europe. the expert
ence will be almost equally new to

WE MUST WIN

Those who, before the United States
entered the war, thought it better to
remain neutral and postpone until at
ter the war the settlement of differ
ences with beligerent nations, will
have no difficulty in recognizing the
change in the situation caused by our
own nations entrance into the war.
Had we remained neutral we might
have been able to act as mediator
and thus rendered an important ser
vice to the world In entering the
war however. we surrendered that
opportunity and incurred the enmity
of the central powers. A new stu
alton, therefore, confronts US. We
must not only protect ourselves from
those who are now our enemies, but
we must find an opportunity for world
service in aiding to arrange perma-
nent peace, built on justice, liberty
and democracy.
WE MUST WIN. Defeat is in
conceivable-it would be indeserlba-
! bly, unfortunate if it were possible
We cannot allow any foreign nation to
determine the destiny of the United
subsequently, a nation committed
as Germany is, to arbitrary govern
ment and militarism
Neither can we afford to have our
allies overcome-that would bring
upon US the disasters of defeat or the
burden of carrying on the war alone.
We are in the war by the action of
congress-the only body authorized to
take the nation into war. The quick
est way to peace is to go straight
through, supporting the government
in all it undertakes, no matter how
long the war lasts or how much 1t
costs.
WE MUST WIN.
Any discord or division, after the
Government has acted, would pro-
long the war and increase its cost IN

GIRLS COLLEGE
NATIONALLY PATE0NIZED

Crescent College and Conservatory
for girls has had prepared a map Of
the United States, which is very strik-
inc, showing in black those states
which have been represented with
students in Crescent during the past
four years, and the number from each
state 1t appears that this Institution
with an enrolment limited to 80
girls has attracted girls from 81 diff
ferent states in these four years. And
this for a college IN Arkansas and on
~ in its tenth year.
Arkansas people are not generally
aware of the national reputation of
Crescent College. Few people know
it established a new class Of Colleges
when in 1909 it announced itself a
Junior College. 1t has set the pace
for modern and progressive methods.
Its various departments are each year
inspected by state universities and 1t
is fully accredited.

school and retains a trained dietitian
for its boarding department. It's
startling announcement Of the intro
duction of school of Child Welfare,
is the latest, and offers instruction on
how to feed, battle, care for and teach
babies and children. 1t plainly faces
es and mothers and sets for itself the
task of preparing young women for
the important duties which will be
theirs This is question of vital im
portance and the aim S child cOnser-
vaton. The head of this department
is no other than Mary Breckenridge
Thompson, wife of Crescent's Presi-
dent and daughter of Honorable
Clifton r. Breckenridge Mrs. Thomp-
son is recognized as an authority on
Woman and Baby Hygiene.
Residents Of Arkansas will do well
to consider this institution in the Sc
lection of a school for their daugh-
tiers. Many of them chose other
schools in Arkansas because they re-
present certain churches, without in
vestigating the high standards and
modern methods of this institution.
Others select schools in other states
for the name of going away, or to OBJ
tain big school where individual at
tent;on is impossible. Crescent girls
are prepared to do something when
they finish, whereas girls from the
average school go home and wait for
something to turn up.
Crescent's special departments,
Music, Art, Expression, Household
Arts and Business are equipped with
specialists of unusual ability and rep
utation, and its graduates may be
found in nearly every state, occupying
important positions.
We think this school which is at
tracing so much attention in other
states, from New York and Connect
cut to California and Washington,
should draw the attention of the faith
ers and mothers in Arkansas.-Eu-
reka Springs Times Echo.
