NO NEWS FROM THE SOLDIER
 MEANS THAT HE IS ALL RIGHT.

Although the failure to receive letters from men in the service is not pleasant to relatives and friends at home the adage mo news is goods news" never was more true than at present. The report of every casualty at home or abroad is immediately wired or cabled to officials at Wash ington, being relayed from there without loss of time of the emer- gency address of the soldier or sailor affected. It is also at once released for publication Tn the newspapers. No news of casu- alties has or will be held up.
 No man in the service has re- ceived orders not to write home; he has been urged, on the con- trary, to keep in touch with re- latives and friends. The forces in France have at their disposal post cards giving general infor- nation in regard to health and the receipt of letters and par cells, which may be dispatched without payment of postage.
 Care is also taken to see that mail intended for soldiers and sailors reaches them promptly. Where the regimental and con- pany designation of a soldier is not known it may be secured by application to The Adjutant Generals Office. Washington, D. c. In one week 1,674 letters with insufficient addresses were received at this office. On 1,232 the addresses were completed and they were forwarded, 123 were returned to senders, 5S went to the dead letter office be- cause senders' addresses were not given, and the balance were held with the view that the ad- dresses might be completed later.

TO FLY AFTER CATTLE.

Cattle ranching on the South west plains with airplanes was the suggestion made by B. F. Pauky of Lamy, N. M, who is the owner of one of the biggest cattle ranches in the southwest. In an interview given out at El PaSo this week Panky said the airplane could be used to great advantage in making a general inspection of the wide range country, much of which was inn passible to automobiles, and add ed that transportation by horses was too slow for the modern cat tie industry. He said he has given an order for an airplane to be constructed according to his special needs and which he will use on his New Mexico ranches. s.-Exchange.

A VICIOUS RUMOR.

Among the many absurd and vicious rumors put into circula- tion these days, probably through pro- German influences, is one that the United States proposes in banks. The absurdity of the sta tement is obvious on it's face. These rumors are wholly with out foundation and probably cir culated for an evil purpose. The government has no power to confiscate the money of deposit ors in banks. ."-From statement of Secretary McAdoo.

ARIZONA NOTES.
Items of Interest Culled From Our
 Exchanges.

Cost of raising Arizona's quota of soldiers for the national army until they were turned over to the railroads for entrainment is S26, ,15S.O The number of men sent is 3472 making the cost per capita $7, 534.
 Three hundred and twenty acres of Yuma valley farming lands near Somerton has been rented for three years at thirty dollars per acre each year. w. S. Blair who obtained the lease is preparing to plant the entire tract in cotton.
 The Arizona boys at Camp Funston are well quartered in their new barracks. In letter to Governor Campbell. Col. B. Y. Yule, commanding the regi ment of Arizona lads, says that the new steam heat plant is making the boys comfortable. Lest there should be some who think the oil boom is dead in this locality, it may be stated that the men behind the project are still working to make it a go. The delay in getting a sufficient amount of land signed up to justify the installation of eX pensive drilling machinery, has held back operations. However some considerable acreage has been signed up since the last report in these cOlumS, the amount now approXimating five thousand acres.-Benson Signal.
 Allen B. Brown, son of Juo. B. Brown, superintendent of the Indian school, went to France last May as an ambulance driver. for the Red Cross. He has com pleted his term of enlistment in that service and has been con- missioned second lieutenant in the field artillery of the Amer ica forces. He used to be op- posed to war and rejected par ental suggestion that he qualify at West Point. But it is differ ent now. Six months at the front has taught him his duty, to come to defense of home, flag and dcountry.-Messenger.
 Work on the highways and bridges of Arizona should not be discontinued during the war, but should be actively prosecuted, according to Governor Thomas E. Campbell in a communication to Thomas Maddock, state en- gineer. Governor Campbell de- clares that in his judgement there should be no cessation in the proper maintenance of the highways of the state until the price of raw material reaches a prohibitive figure The surplus of labor in the mining camps al so could Le we'll utilized in road work, the governor declares.
 Mulford Winsor, United States commissinor, has received from the Salt River valley a conSign- ment of highly bred, registered Ayreshire cattle for his ranch in the Yuma valley. Among them is the grand champion bull Uni versity Pride, which won first prize in his class at the state fair at Phoenix. This animal was bought from the University of Arizona, at very high price, by the commissioner. Also came the blue ribbon yearling, heifer of the fair and the Winsor herd of five which he sent to compete from his home ranch, and which covered themselves with glory and blue ribbons.-Yuma Sun.

A PATRIOTIC APPEAL.

The Arizona Council of De- fense and the United States Food Ad miniStratiOn join in the fol lowing resolution, which is given publicity throughout the state to encourage increased prod uction of wheat as a patriotic service:
 WHEREAS, it appears from the survey recently completed by the Arizona Council of Defense of all foods and feed grown in Arizona that the quantity of wheat is far below the consump- tion of this product in this state; and
 WHEREAS, we feel this is in a sense a reflection upon the pa triotic- citizenship of Arizona which has never failed in re- spending to any call made by our government; and resolution, which is given publicity
 WHEREAS, in order that Ariz- ora may be relieved from a place in the class which consumes in excess of production a commo- dity which our government is depending upon as a vital ele- ment in winning the war with Germany; and
 WHEREAS, the government fully realizes the dire need of our allies for more wheat, and to stimulate production in Amer ica, has guaranteed to all pro- ducers a minimum price of two dollars a bushel for 1918 wheat at primary terminal markets, which we are advised by a re- presentative of a bureau of mar kets should be equivalent to a price of approximately three dollars and fifty cents per hun dred pounds on wheat of the quality of Early Baart, f: o. b. Phoenix, or Tucson, Arizona.
 Now, THEREFORE, we believe it the patriotic duty of the farm CTS of Arizona to release to the government for use to our allies and our soldiers in Europe addi- tional wheat to.the extent of one half million bushels. This means an increased acreage within the state of fifteen thouS- and acres, or an increase of fifty per cent in the present acreage in this vital crop. Fortunately. we find that there is within the state an ample quantity of first class seed to cover the need of this production.
 All farmers are urged as indi vidual service to their country in it's time of need to plant wheat even though it be but a small plat. In many sections of this state this planting must be done within the next thirty days. We realize that in asking the farmers of Arizona to perform this patriotic duty, they may sometimes forego a greater pro- fit which could be made in other crops, but we are convinced that they will respond to this appeal in spirit of patriotic duty and show Arizona squarely behind the government and our boys at the front.

 Chairman Arizona Council of Defense.

Agricultural Teachers and the
Farmer.
[E. c. Dow, in the Maine Farmer.]

suppose it is good thing that we
don't all think alike. l have failed to
realize the need of county agents or
other section of the country where a
diversified farming is practiced by an in
telligent and fairly we'll educated peo-
pie.
1 have thought that what we need is
not the county agent or demonstration,
but ourselves.
Mental alertness, business acumen, in
itiative and faith will do for US all, and
more than external agencies can ever do.
However, this fad, if fad it is, will
have its run, and men will continue to go
to school to the teachings of error. as
well as those of truth and experience.
If county demonstrators are a real
need, and do not say they are not, only
that it seems that way to me, we should
be supplied with none but the best, for
the best will be none to good.
Ex-Commissione Guptill, at the hear
ing on the bill for providing State farms
on which to train teachers and demon
strators, said that if man could go onto
one of those farms and make a living, he
would be qualified to teach agriculture
to others. am inclined to think that is
SO. Ii it is SO, then Maine already has
several thousand men who are qualified
to act as farm demonstra tors and teach
ers, for we have many men who are on
just such farms and making living ard
usually little something beside, under
normal conditions.
These men need no demonstretor 70
show them how, for they are already
qualified to do the demonstrating to
others.
If, then, others want or need agents
or demonstrators, why train them at
State expense when we already have
large supply of men already trained by
time and experience for just such work?
Why impose needless burden upon the
State for the purpose of creating some
thing that already exists?
Out on the farms are men who know
and who have the education, ability and
experience to fill these positions. Why
not offer the work TO some of them?
There are enough of US willing to respond
to call for workers, saying, Here am
l, send me.
So, too, when the university needs a
teacher of agriculture or a dean of its
college of agriculture (this is not a re-
Election on DR.. Merrill, whose ability and
fitness are urque stioned), why not go to
the farm and honor some man who has
made good in practical farm work?
Maine has number of college-trained
men who are practical farmers; New
England has mary such; the middle west
has hosts of them, and there is no lack
of material for such positions.
Would it not help the cause of agri-
culture and encourage educated men to
FARM as business if college graduates
who are on farms were called to posi-
tions of trust and honor at our expert
ment stations and agricultural colleges?
Would not the average boy who wants to
get up in the world have better appre-
citation of the farm if he knew he might
step from milking stool to the profess
sor's chair?
These honors belong exclusively to the
farm and the farmer. Is it wrong to
ask for our own? On this point l be-
lieye ! am right. If not, why not?

The passing of Allen Goodwin occurred
at his home in Center Montville April
End, just three W, eks from the time he
was stricken with the paralytic shock
which caused his death. The funeral
service was conducted at the home
Wednesday, and Rev. H. w. Abbott of
Palermo was the sympathetic speaker,
and G. M. Howes the director. Mr..
Goodwin left no near relatives except
his wife Cora A. (Hatch,) who has the
sincere sympathy of friends in this town,
Palermo, and wherever Mr.. Goodwin
was known. The floral tributes from
Union Harvest Grange, the neighbor-
hood and friends, were beautiful. 1t
would be superf1uous to tell The Journal
readers that Mr.. Goodwin was gene
alogist and historian of ability, as many
articles calling for untiring research
have appeared in its columns from his
pen. The death and funeral of Mr..
Goodwin occurred on the thirty-fourth
anniversary of the demise and burial of
Mr.. and Mrs. Goodwin's only child, their
little daughter Ella. He will long be
remembered and mourned in this town,
where he had lived for fifteen years, and
in Palermo, where he was born, as sin
cere, Christian man, and good citizen.
