Congressman Carl Hayden ad-
 dressed a hot letter to the Secre-
 tary of War few days ago, on
 the unfair quota for soldiers re-
 quired from Arizona under the
 selective draft, and the equally
 unfair apportionment of men to
 the reserve officers training
 camps. He calls the Secretary's
 attention to the selective draft
 act wherein it says the population
 shall be the basis for determining
 the quotas. and no mention is
 made of an estimated population.
 Hayden gets underline Secretary's
 hide once more by asking why
 the estimated population of 1915
 was used as the basis of assign
 ments to the officers training
 camps, and another and different
 estimate of the population was
 used in drafting for soldiers.
 Then he shows up the injustice to Arizona, wherein under the 1915 estimated population New Mexico was given 83 men for the training camps while Arizona was given only 52; and when they got ready to draw soldiers they made a new estimate of population, in- creasing Arizona over 5O%, and l reducing New Mexico 2586, upon 1 which basis Arizona has to fur nish 4478 men and New Mexico | gets off with 3756. We are glad MT. Hayden has woke up even though it is too late to right our wrongs, and his peppery letter may stir him to greater activity | hereafter in protecting the inter est of the state. The ease with | which New Mexico grabbed more f than her equitable proportion of | the training camp assignments, i lodged her full responsibility in furnishing soldiers by juggling the population estimates is proba- bly, due to the keen activity of | her senators, Fall and Jones, whose interest is centered in their state; while one of Arizonas sen ators loves to talk to the senate gallery, shake hls raven locks, and attune his ear for the ap- plause, and the other senator puts in his time maudliDg over his cups, awaiting summons by the party whip to appear on the sen ate floor to cast his vote. With a brace of such representatives Arizona can expect just such re- suits as she is getting. We can imagine an astute fellow like Senator Jones hiring the rabble to fill the senate gallery and fur nish applause, and start the Ari- zona orator to talking about "this grand and glorious country of ours" /" and then slip out quietly to grab off the draft grapes for New Mexico. Still, there are people in the state who think our Henry holds in his lily-white hands the destiny of Arizona. However. we would prefer Geo. w. P. Hunt with his blunt, un- polished style for results that ILTs~olo1r Ma3l

Mary NJ. Sullivan - How
John Lost His Position

Dear Courier Junior:
I will write you school composition
"How John Lost His Position
John was a boy of ten or twelve years
Of age.
He was a Courier boy and one day
something special was going on.
They were to carry the Couriers at 4
o'clock in the morning. He had set the
alarm clock SO he could get up at 3 80.
In the morning when the alarm clock
rang at $50 John sat up in bed but
being sleepy lay down again thinking
he would get up in time to deliver
them. He turned over and went back to
sleep. At 6 o'clock John heard his moth
ers voice John, John, aren't you go
ing to deliver your papers? You had
better hurry up. 1t is just about 6
o'clock" she said.
About six exclaimed John. why

John was at the office at $50. The
boss met him at the door and said, See
here young man, why weren't you here
in time to carry your route? You go
home now as your position is offered

will not lose your job. This is what

Experience on a Farm

My real experience on the farm, ii
the good old summer time.
Dear Juniors:
It was a hot. sultry day in the las
of July, one of these summer days
when the air presses heavily down or
the sitting country fields, and in every
farm yard the chicks scratch deep or
the shady side of the buildings looking
for cool earth to lie upon painting
This weather won't last" said
father. giving the big bay friendly
slap and fastening the trace as she
stepped over. WED better get the hay
under cover before nightfall"
There was no sign of cloud in the
bright. hot sky. Every field was well
cared for, yielding richly every year
The cattle were fat and sleek. The
barns were well filed. We put the big
hay rack on the wagon, threw in the
stone water jugs, filled with cool water
from the we'll near the kitchen door.
and drove out to the meadow. One can
imagine how we worked, lifting grea,
forksful Of the clover scented hay
Tossing them into the rack, and how
we were kept busy shifting and setting
lit with our forks. Grasshoppers whir
red up from the windows of the dried
grass when they were disturbed and
quails called from the fence corners
Now and then we stopped to wipe the
sweat off and to take long swallows
from the water jugs hidden for cool
ness under mound of hay Then with
a look at the sky we took up our
forks,a dark cloud was coming up in
the northwest, and every one leaped
to rescue of getting in the hay. Sud
denly we heard clang from the great
bell, hung high on a post in the home
dooryard, used only for calling at din
ner time, or for some emergency
alarm. We stopped minute and then
we turned back to our work. We got
in few more loads of hay before the
rain came in big scattering drops on
our straw hats and making pleasant
rustling on the thirsty meadows. Then
We climbed into the we'll filled rack
and drove to the barn. We unhitched
the horses and led them into their
stalls.
We sat idly at dinner watching
through the wide doors the gray slant
of the rain. Father remarked that it
was shame we did not save the last
three loads of hay. 1t was good hay
averaged a full four tons ITO the acre.
About two o'clock in the afternoon tn,
rain changed to light driz2le and the
clouds broke.

he Cow that Liked
Compositions

Caro- had never written a compost
ton. AT the city school nothing had
ever been said about them. But here
in the country, where they had lately
come to live. every Friday was compo
sition day, and Caro- was expected to
write something on the subject printed
upon the blackboard. Cows she
read, and felt perp1exed at once
Make your compositions this
week humorous, or funny, If possible .
the teacher said, which sent Caro-
, home in puzzle. What was funny
about COW?
After school the little girl took a
paper and pencil and went out into the
pasture back of the house to study
their SOW, and to write her compost
ton.
Billy Carpenter had told her that
cows sometimes chased people, but
this COW that her father had Just
bought looked too clumsy and too lazy
to run after anybody. So Caro- sat
down upon big stone, and wrote,
Cows in big letters at the top Of her
sheet.
The COW switched her tail from side
to side to drive off the flies, SO pres
emily Caro- wrote:
Cows are big animals, with long
tails that go wigglety-waggle."
Then she watched to see the COW
do something funny, but all she did
was to nibble at the grass.
Pretty soon this went down on
Caro's paper:
Cows eat all the time and never
r,<4 80 %lo< -
at you, and they have horns to let
down the bars with when they go home
at night Our cow is reddish, and isn't
funny at all"
Just then the cow walked off under
a tree and lay down chewing her cud.
"Oh." thought Caro-. that is funny.
They do their eating first, and then
they go and chew and chew and
chew" So she wrote down her dis
covery, adding, II wish could do that
way, but mother makes me chew as
go along"
A railway passed near the farm and
just then whistle sounded shrilly not
far away. 1t frightened the COW, and,
getting on her feet in hurry, she
came bounding in Caro's direction at
a lively pace.
"Oh!" screamed Caro-, and dropping
paper and pencil. she scampered away
toward the fence. Safely on the other
side, she ventured to look back.
The COW was inspecting the compo.
sition.
"Oh!' cried Caro- again, and then
louder "Oh, my" for the paper had
vanished in her mouth!
Caro- went sadly home to rewrite her
composition In safe place, and she
, added this to the first part:
Cows like compositions, for ours
ate mine up"
The next Friday afternoon when all
: the twenty compositions were read the
pupils voted Caro- Clyde's the very fun.
