INSULTED WIFE-ASKS LEAVE
TO KILL ENEMY.

This week Judge ]. NJ Lally OF
Morenci was approached by Primi-
two Gomez. a resident of the hill
city, who asked the judge permission
to kill Andreas Villaneuva. whom he
declared had insulted his wife, says
the Superior Sun of last week. He
said he had decided some time ago to
kill the man, but did not want to
get into trouble with the law, so
thought he had better get leave first,
so there would be no bad conseQuen-
ces. The judge explained to him
that the hunting season does not
open yet for month, but said that
II he could prove that Villaneuva
was a predatory animal that pos
sibly the hunting laws would be
waived and the county might be In
dueed to offer a bounty.
The next day Judge Lally received
the following letter from Gomez, ex-
planning the circumstances of the
case, which clearly prove that he Is
entitled to the succor he asks:
September % 1917.
Sir:-Mr. Andreas Villanueva,
He has the abuse to go to the door
Of my house
No. "a A. c., to insult me In a
critic manner
He didn't had any respect of my
family. He meet my wife in the con-
dition of embarrass
My wife she has been scare to
dead, but If was at time she was In
danger to die. l in my proper de-
tense l done my duty.
Now wait for Justice for one or
other way
Yours, very truly,
PRIMITIVE GOMEZ.

FOOD PLEDGE WEEK.
70 the People OF Arizona

70 the People Of Arizona
PHOENIX, Oct. 25.-The coming
seven-day period is Food Pledge Card
week, SO designated by National
Food Administrators Hoover. It be-
gins October 28 and ends November
4. In every community Of Arizona
patriotic workers will visit every
house, seeking to enlist the support
OF every home in the nationwide
movement to save food and stor
waste~-all to the end that more food
may be sent to the nations soldiers
abroad and to the millions of people
in the allied European countries
where famine now is present or is
very near
Sign the card and carry out its
pledga IN more than a perfunctory
spirit. An old adage is that an army
travels on its belly. Food Is as
necessary as bullets. AS we'll send
an army into the field with wooden
guns as to send 1t without rations.
The man In the trenches is right
when he expects support and a
proper food supply from the people
for whose liberty and homes he has
offered to sacrifice his life.
This Is something in which every
one may join and in 1t the women Of
the nation have even a more impor-
tant part than tho men. For them
Ic Ms ito may b Save and serve. -
Remember the dreadful fate of
Belgium. Appreciate that any other
war the world ever has known was q
feeble conflict when compared with
the titanic struggle now being
Waged, on land, on sea, under the sea
and in the air. with forces that seem
little short OF those Of omnipotence.
Join in the Food Pledge, for, God
help America II her people fail her.

Food Administrator for Arizona.

NOW BEFORE THE SUPREME
COURT.

PHOENIX, Oct 21.--After one OF
The longest and hardest fought con-
lest cases in legal history, one that
has dragged its weary length
through two courts and $500 pages
of transcript, the case in which Geo.
w. P. Hunt, former governor OF Ari-
zona, disputes the election last No.
vember of Thomas r. Campbell as
his successor in that Office, is now in
the hands of the supreme court and
on the calendar, although on the pre-
ceding day there had been every evil
dence that 1t would go over into the
next week. F. G. Struckmeyer for
he contestee, Hunt, made the clos
ing argument in this most interesting
,ase.
Each side has been given five days
n which to file authorities as to the
right Of the court to strike out an
Antire precinct in the recount OF
mis- election.
Just how long a time the supreme
court will take in reviewing the
transcript and the arguments could
not be learned from any remarks
made by the court. but it Is the
general opinion of both sides that an
,arly decision Is certain. No case
IL the history OF the state has been
If more interest than this one nor a
case of more vital bearing upon the
conduct Of the several departments
# the state. For this reason it is
practically certain that the people
nay look for a decision by the su-
creme court within 80 days

VERY HARD TO PRONONcIATE
English Language Bothered Edward
Livingston Trudeau, "The Pioneer
Of Opera" Although American

In ST. Nicholas Mary R. Parkman
tells an incident IN the childhood of
Edward Livingston Trudeau. The
Pioneer Of the Opera"
The small boy who could scarcely
remember the time when he did not
live in France and whose relatives
were all French did not forget for a
moment that he was an American.
The toy boats which he sailed In the
fountains OF the Tuilleries all bore the
Stars and Stripes All his faYorite
playmates at the Lycee Bonaparte,
where he went to school, were hardy
American boys whose parents were
living In Paris.
During the ys0s Of the French
school the vague, inner yearning for a
freer, more natural life found vent In
many prankk, and covert rebellion not
only against the class routine, but
aleo. more openly. against the estab-
lished order Of things on the play
ground.
HWhen he returned to New York at
eighteen Edward could speak only
broken English. but he felt so truly
American that he wondered why his
cousins laughed when he said. Re Eng
lish is very hard language to pro-
nonciate.'-

superstitions About Salt.

1t is curious fact that, from the
earliest times, many supsrsJitions have
clung about the use of salt. There Is
much evidence in Holy Writ for cere
monial uses OF it. The Mosaic law
commands that every oblation of meat
offered shall be seasoned with salt, s
command that Is given, with ysris-
tons, in various books OF the Bible.
such as Leviticus 2:1S and EZedel
1914. In the old days salt was put
into child's mouth in baptism. and
in some countries TO this day the Gus
tom is followed of throwing pinch II
It into holy water to ward of the evil
spirit.

JUNGLE FARM OF so ACRES
Only Ranch in World Where Crops
Are Produced for Exclusive Use
Of Wild Animals.

On a large tract. of ground on the
outskirts of New York city there is
the only farm in the world where
crops are raised for the exclusive
use Of wild animals.
Little Is known even IN the metrop-
oils, about this curious jungle farm,
yet 1t covers about fifty acres, and
has been in existence for some time.
1t has gradually become a veritable
clearing house for foodstuffs for more
than 5000 captive beasts, birds, and
reptiles hailing from all parts Of the
world, who now live as one happy
family In the fine New York Zoologi-
cal park.
Until the establishment OF the farm,
the provision Of bounuful and varied
menu which would satisfy the resi-
dents Of the zoo and keep them In good
health the year round was g most
difficult matter, particularly In winter /;
but the products Of the farm have
solved this problem perfectly. Not
only do these include corn, carrots,
beets, cabbages, turnips, potatoes, and
other good things that delight the ap-
petite of vegetarians among the Jungle
folks, but the needs Of the carnivorous
beasts are also looked after. For this
purpose, the farm contains several big
breeding houses in which are raised
large quantities of chickens, rabbits,
guinea pigs, rats, white mice, pigeons,
squads and pigs.
