Edgar Mineer who was one of the first to volunteer from Apa- che county is at home having been released from service, be- cause of having one leg shorter than the other, this was caused by a broken hip some years ago. We are informed that Edgar will attend the University at Tucson this winter.

CORRECTION!

We made the announcement some time ago that Charles Jar wis was assistant postmaster, and the fact is that while postmaster Scheele was sick and on his va cation MT. Jarvis did take charge of the Post Office and received some pay although extremely small. We are reliably informed that the Government pays, at this office. only 5000 per month for a Clerk, a ridicuously small amount, not enough to pay a jan itor for sweeping and dusting the office.
 Charley has the name of being Assistant, but the patrons of the office should not expect to much of him, as in these times of high prices none of us can live on NAME alone.

RED CROSS

Their appears to be a genera lack of interest in Red Cross work in St. Johns. While 1 know that it has been a busy season thus far in taking care of the fruit and vegetables, yet it seems to me that the need of making arti- cles for use in the hospitals and in the field has been forgotten.
 There has been a call to the Red Cross from Major Grayson M. P. Murphy, who is the Red Cross commissioner for Europe, for 1,500, 900 knitted sets comprising sweater. muf1er, wristlets and socks. The St. Johns Branch has been called upon by the director of the Pacific Division to do some of this knitting, directions for which we will soon have.
 This is a rush order and our men are going to need these things before very long. An ord CT for materials, directions and patterns has been placed with the Winslow Chapter and hope that St. Johns will wake up and en- deavor to do it's part, though small perhaps, toward helping in the great crisis in thIs way.
 This Branch has at present samples of surgical dressings and material for making them. Those who WILL help with this work may get information and materi- al by reporting to MT. A. s. Gib- bons who is the chairman. He also has literature if you desire to read it. 1 hope that all officers too. may be sufficiently inter ested.
 It is necessary for me to resign as secretary but 1 would like to get this work bafol the good pee pie of St. Johns. There is ar importance attached to it; it is 3 national organization with the  sole purpose of alleviating suffer ing and should be recognized es- Decially where it is organized, Do you want it to die out here in town?
 Recent word from the chapter says that 100 sets of the knitted articles including one of each arc the assignment to the chapter and it's branches. Our part vii be small. Quantities of yarr needed can be had from the chair man.
 They must reach the Allies be fore the cold weather sets in.

columbus, O., Dispatch.) ~@
With crude homemade laboratory
which he has set upon his desk in the
penitentiary library, Dr. Emerich w.
Ritter, formerly a Cleveland chemist,
claims he is extracting rubber, tannin
and red dye from the bark of the
chu tung tree, grown in China
The department Of agriculture is as
sisting him in his experiments, he
says. 1t shipped him five pounds Of
the bark, the first ever sent to this
country, after DR.. Ritter says he point
ed out to the department that the bark
contained rubber.
The man, who startled the country
on his arrival at the penitentiary last
year by his inventions of liquid fire"
and aniline dyes, declares that not on
ly has he extracted rubber of remark
able resiliency from the bark, but tan
min, used in the tanning industry, and
dye the exact color of the dye used
in the 2-cent stamp
From a pound Of bark, DR.. Ritter
says, he obtains two ounces of crude
rubber, four and one-haf ounces of
tannin and three-fourths Of an ounce
Of cOlOring matter.
The tannin is valuable because its
scarcity has kept up the prices Of
shoes, DR.. Ritter said. "The shortage
of the postage stamp dye is SO acute
that there has been talk of using some
other color This new supply will
eliminate both shortages"

LEGISLATIVE LETTER.
{ Continued from Page One.)

lected the information. The question
is just how far a state commission is
entitled to go in creating or making
new fields of labor for itself. 1t does
not matter when the information was
collected, for the commission asks
through this bill the cost of publish
ing it. Senator Skogmo, a legislator
who certainly has been classed on the
progressive side, and of that faction
which created and fostered commits
siOns, declares that these bodies real
ly are creatures Of the legislature and
have no right to enter into any activi-
ty that is not laid down by statute.
There is no law which directs the COM
mission to collect information either
for the vets or drys. Just the same
the commission has entered this field,
through it's employee, at least.
Following this line of logic the rail
road commission might collect facts
relating to the high cost of living,
or the dairy and food commission
branch out into some hitherto foreign
field. If the legislature is good
enough to furnish the money, there
is no limit to the cost of any commits
sion.
Perhaps, in this instance, the money
should be appropriated. Perhaps not.
But the questions still remains

WONDERFUL TELEPHONES.

An old farmer couldn't really be-
lieve that people who were miles apart
were able to converse over a telephone
wire
One day his wife went to see a distant
friend who had telephone in her
home. During the afternoon the farm
er sought shelter from thunderstorm
i'll the house of a. neighbor who also
possessed a telephone and who per
suaded the farmer to call up his wife
as little surprise.
Following instructions the farmer
put the receiver to his ear, and, after
the usual preliminaries, shouted:
"HullOa, janet"
Just then flash of lightning struck
the wire and he fell to the floor under
the force of the shock
Rising to his feet and shaking mis-
head wisely, he said:
It's wonderful! That was Jane. all
right"

1T DOESN'T PAY.
milwaukee NeWs.l


Crime doesn't pay; few can beat the
game; many are beaten by their own
wrongs.
Wednesday, four young men, all I'M
der 20, started to the reformatory for
varied terms.
Every day men and boys are sem
fenced for trying to get money in 9TH
er than honest ways; they try to beat
the game; they lose.
They cannot beat the game. There
may be a few struggle through the
crooked paths and rise to ill-got for
tunes. Then standing on the mangled
lives of those who were their step
ping stones, they f1aunt their triumph
to lure others.
But they are only a few; they sue
coed only once in a while; and sue
cess is not for long.
They picture the game in a golden
glow, but it's only a picture. For every
winner there a dozen losers; for every
victorious laugh, there are a hundred
despairing signs. In the mad whirl-
pool the many are sucked down, down,
down-and even the winners lose.
For the end is always the same.
Some day discovery, arrest, trial, pris-
on, disgrace. So off to prison they 81
and the message they leave is this:
1t doesn't pay; you cannot beat the
game.

THE PAPER AND IT'S EDITOR
Think OF This When Herald Items Are
Not to Your Taste.

Sometimes we have an item in the
paper that does not please everyone
We have no apologies to make. now
or anytime to anyone, but we ask you
to remember this: Every week we
talk to a dozen hundred families. and
that means perhaps three thousand or
more readers. Do YOU think you
could please them all ALL the time /?
Ii you are honest you will admit that
you couldn't do it more than one-half
OF the time. We are not trying to
please everyone, but are simply trying
to print the best paper possible, the
cleanest paper possible, and one that
will have the greatest influence in di-
recting the trend of public opinion up
ward, the largest effect in influencing
men and things rightward and for
ward This should be the aim of all
good country papers. Where we make
one editorial misdemeanor, how many
would YOU make? All we ask is that
you answer this question with fairness
Our policy and our friends have made
this paper the largest in point of read
ers of any town in the state under l.
900 people. We don't care to criticise
any petty irritation you may have but
we do appreciate your cooperation
and friendship. Remember the path of
a country is not an easy one. He has
very few happy days. There is a re-
sponsibility not to be shirked, princi-
pies not to be sighted, work to be done
that only a newspaper can do. We
need cooperation rather than con-
denmnation.-From the Haxtun, Colo,
