HOME GUARD SHOULD
 HAVE OFFICIAL STATUS

Little Rock, July 3.-At a confer ence of the State Council of Defense yesterday the question of an efficient Home Guard was discussed Gen. J. R. Gibbons, chairman of the commit tee on home defense, reported that Gen. Wood in discussing the situation with him last Saturday, laid stress upon the organization of the Home Guard as one of the most necessary factors in properly safeguarding local affairs when the National Guard and other troops have been called to the front. He reported that Gov. Brough is in thorough accord with the sugges- tion and will commission the officers of the Home Guard if it is determined that he has authority to do so. It was agreed that the Home Guard should have an official status so that their acts would be legal if called upon for actual service.

THE NEW FEDERAL LIQUOR
 LAW.

On July l the act of Congress to aid those states which have prohibited the sale of intoxicating liquors went into effect. Arkansas is one of the states to which this law applies, and as the penalties for it's violation are very severe we deem it proper to call attention to it's provisions.
 This new law prohibits the deposit ing in any postoffice, or the mailing of any letter, postal card circular. newspaper, pamphlet or publication of any kind containing any advertise ment of spirituous, vinous, matted fermented or other intoxicating li- quors of any kind, or containing solicitation of an order, or orders, for liquors; and any person violating the act may be indicted, either in the dis trict where he deposited the letter or circular, or in the district to which it IS carried. Thus a person mailing such letter or circular in the state ot Missouri to a person in Arkansas may be indicted in either state for doing so
 The next provision of this act, and thls Is one to which we desire to call special attention, makes it an offense Tor any person, in a state where the law prohibits the sale of liquors, to order, purchase or cause intoxicating liquors to be transported from any other state to his state, except for scientific, sacramental, medicinal or mechanical purposes. Under this pro- vision of the law no intoxicating liquors of any kind, except for scien- tlhc, sacramental, medicinal or me- chanlcal purposes, can be shipped into the state of Arkansas.
 Any person who orders liquor to be sent to him from any other state, whether he orders it through the malls, or otherwise, violates this pro- Vislon of the law. It may not be known to many that the mere order Ing of intoxicating liquors from this

 Literature will be furnished to any one who will write to Mrs. Lillie Goet- schius, chairman of Navy League comforts committee, Little Rock, Ark, as will be photographs of the knitted articles. There is no obligation or membership dues; any one may vol unteer to do the work.

state, whether by word of mouth, or by the hand of another person, or through the mails, subjects him to the punishment provided by law, a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars, or imprisonment not exceeding six months, or both, for the first offense; and fine not exceeding one thousand dollars and Imprisonment not exceed ing one year, or both, for any subse- quent offenses. Even if the purchase is made in the other state where it is lawful to sell intoxicating liquors, if a person has it transported or trans ports it into this state, he violates the law.
 A person who brings into the state

any liquor from any other state, al- though it may be in his valise, which he carries with him, or even if he carries it in his pocket, no matter how small the quantity may be, is subject to punishment under this act.
 Many people seem to be under the impression that they can bring a bot tie of liquor into the state from an- other state if they carry it in a valise or suit case or on their person, but under this new act they may not do so without subjecting themselves to the penalties prescribed by the law-Ar- kansas Gazette (July 3.)

''The Superior Sun" Draws
Some Interestingly Pert
Comparisons

Commenting on the charge by
Congressman Heflin that some
members of the Congress had
acted suspiciously, in connection
with the recent report of ex-
posure made by Secretary of
State Lansing, that Germany was
attempting to influence certain
legislation by the use of money,
the Superior Sun, one of the
ablest edited newspapers in Ari-
zona says:
Whatever Mr.. Lansing or Mr.
Heflin or any one else knows
about the use of money which
Won Bernstorff asked for should
be made public. Congress owes
it to itself to compel Heflin to
put up or shut up, and a like
sense of duty should impel Con-
gress' to ask Mr.. Lansing for a
bill of particulars. Won Bern
stOrff's telegram was dated
January %. That is the date
also when President Wilson went
to Congress and advocated Peace
without victory for the European
belligerents. Yet we do not as
sumo that even Tom Heflin in
any of his moods would insinuate
that there is any connection be-
tween the Won Bernstorff- tele-
gram and the Wilson speech. 1t
should be remembered, further,
that the Congress which was
then in existence and which the
German Ambassador talked so
confidently of influencing. was
Democratic in both branches by
large majority. We do not
know Mr.. Lansing's purpose in
publishing the Won Bernstorff
telegram, we do not know how
long he has had possession of it.
But we do know that what looks
like a diplomatic bombshell may
prove to be only political
boomerang.

THE NAVAJO CLUB" MAY
Be ITS NAME
To Let the World Know Of
Our Resources

Tomorrow night, Saturday, at
7:30, the various committeeman
will meet at Stake house to hear
the report on organizing a COM
mercial activity body for Snow
flake and vicinity. The proposed
name of The Navajo Club"
seems to be the favorite. Such
a name will give the club a coun-
ty-Wide administration and, too,
no other club on earth will be
blessed with such a name. A
membership fee of one dollar a
year will allow any citizen of
Navajo county to participate.
It's object, broadly and briefly
stated, will be to work for the
upbuilding of our county and to
advertise our resources, and to
initiate and prosecute general
development of every project and
proposition. Snowflake being
the metropolis of this section,
especially of the agricultural
section of the county, will be
headquarters.

Mid-Winter Course at
Snowflake Stake Academy

In response to a call from a
number Of young people in the
vicinity of the Snowflake Stake
Academy the officers of the
school have decided to inaugu-
rate a Mid-winter course.
The purpose of this course is
to make it possible for a number
of young people who desire to be
in school, but who are unable to
attend the entire school year. to
get the benefit of at least one
semester's work.
The course has been arranged
so that it will fit the conditions
of the boys who have been re-
tanned on the farm. November
IL will be the opening day. By
then the crops will have been
harvested. The course will close
March l, 1918, which will be
sufficiently early to enable the
boys to take care of spring plant
ing, etc.
Credit will be given in this
course according to the work
done, just as in the regular
school work. The norm a |
amount of credit that can be
obtained in the Mid winter
course is about two and one-half
units.
Special courses will be given
in English, Arithmetic and other
subjects, as condition require.

Anent the Extras" Of
the WinslOw Bridge
Asked for
The WinsIOw Mail" Shows
up the Claim in a CaustiC
Manner

In last weeks issue of the Her
aid our Holbrook correspondent
recorded the fact that the Navajo
county supervisors had held up
for payment the claim of the
contractors of the Winslow bridge
for EXTRAS. Commenting on
the action of our supervisors in
this matter, the Winslow Mail
says in part:
"The contract price for the
completed bridge is $23, 800, and
just how the contractors figure
they are entitled to such an
amount as claimed for extra
work at this time is hard to
decipher. 1t is doubtful if the
contractors have expended all
told the amount they claim is due
them for extra work, unless they
hold that putting in piers for the
superstructure comes under that
head. In most bridges we have
seen and examined, piers seem
to be one of the essential fea-
lures, but this firm probably
takes the view that the piers are
extras.
From the day the contract
was let Mesmer & Rice have
made no serious effort to complete
the bridge, but have maintained
an insufficient force Of men for
the work, Notwithstanding re-
peated warnings that the piers
would have to be completed early
in the spring to escape the incon-
venience of nigh water. No one
seemed to know what object they
had in delaying the work, but the
purpose is now apparent. By
dragging it long they thought
they saw a chance to hold up the
supervisors for this padded claim
for extras based on the delays
and extra cost of construction
during the high water. Another
basis for their claim is that they
did not know when they bid on
the contract that the bridge was
to be built under government
supervision, but just what dis
advantage there is in that to an
honest contracting firm is hard
to understand. Of course if they
took the contract with the idea
of defrauding the county in its
construction, government super
vision will cut into the prospect
i've profits they originally had in
view."

Joseph w. Smith selected the
definition and emblematic mean
ing of the American Eagle as
appropriate for the occasion, as
follows:
The American Eagle is not
altogether lovable bird. 1t is no
nightingale; it sings no sweet
songs of sentiment. 1t is no
peacock; it never struts nor
spreads its tail. 1t is no dove,
although it stands for peace,
wherever peace is possible. But
the American Eagle can fly high
er, fly straighter, fly stronger,
and fly longer than any other
bird in the world I! And when
its cold and calculating eyes look
thru the souls of men and the
diplomacy of nations, when its
fierce beak and ugly claws be-
come set in righteous determina-
ton, and when it begins to flap
its majestic wings then let all
buzzards, wolves and reptiles
BEWARE - for the American
Eagle means business. = George
E. Allen, of the American Bank
erS' Association. "

c. H. BALLARD----FARMER
STUDENT OF SOILS
Made Prosperous and Happy
by Ability and Thrift

c. H. Ballard is one of the very
best farmers in northern Ariz-
ona. Hardly before his 1917
crop is gathered and housed he
is preparing for the 1913 crop.
His winter ploWing is about fin
ished. Along with this enter
prise in keeping up with his work,
he is a sytematic and scientific
farmer, a student of the soil.
He plows when its time to plow.
He plants when its time to plant.
Mr.. Ballard is a farmer who is
able to demonstrate that to be a
successful farmer requires more
than haphazzard hit-or-miss go
lucky any-old-way method. An
other thing: When Mr.. Ballard
attends the annual State Fair he
learns while he looks snd profits
by his visits. Many farmers
live out a life time and never
know how to farm. And many
too many-follow the manana
system. Full barns, big stacks
of hay, lots of fruits and vegta-
bles in store at the Ballard home
attest the ability of the husband
man and a thrifty wife.
