intense rivals in attempting to build
an 'air cruiser" that can sail from Ger

BILE as the Deutschland experienced

Arizona Charlie" Acquitted.

Charles H. Meadows, for many
years a famous Snowman and known
the world over as Arizona Charlie"
was acquitted in Yuma Saturday Of
the charge of libel preferred by Mrs.
W. Woodawiss, proprietress of
root beer stand, the case having been
tried in the superior court of this
county. The case grew out of
statement made in the newspaper
which was published in Yuma last
September under the caption of the
"Valley Hornet" with 'I. Sting"
as editor. The appearance OF the
paper caused quite sensation at the
time and the few hundred copies of
the paper soon became exhausted
and it was authoritively reported
that single copies brought as high as
five dollars in Los Angeles
The paper made it's appearance
just prior to the state and county
primaries and had for it's object the
defeat of certain political candidates
and there were many personalities in
its makeup. Meadows, who had an
article in the publication in which
he stated that he relinquished the
quill to "I Sting" was accused by
some of being the real quill pusher
Mr.. Meadows quit the show business
some fifteen years ago AMI invested
in Yuma real estate and has amassed
small fortune from his holdings in
city property and valley land.

OUR NEW AIR CRAFT.

In even remote European villages
the passage of air craft is so conf
mOnplace that it fails to attract the
attention of children at play. Traffic
falters and pedestrians twist their
necks heavenward, however, on those
rare occasions when an aerOplane
darts across the skyline of an Amer
lean metropolis
In spite of this contrast, American
progress in aeronautics is gathering
momentum. Our plants are building
aerial cars and boats that compare
favorably with the best foreign ma
chimes. Furthermore, they are de-
veloping some of the most prodigious
craft that have ever taken to the
air.
Europe's war has done more than
any other thing to promote aeronau-
tics in this country. 1t has aroused
| some popular interest in aerial We
hicles, stimulated congress to action,
| and given our manufacturers the
first real support they ever had. The
fruits of this awakening have begun
| to ripen. Formerly we looked to
France for motors and gave domestic
engineers little encouragement. The
| situation has changed and we have a
dozen different types of power plants,
| in the class between 1875 and 800 h.
p, that are good. We are building
planes that make 1875 miles and more
! an hour. We are producing craft
designed to lift from 10 to Is tons.
Furthermore, what is considered the
| largest aeronautic research and test
ing laboratory is part of an eastern

Them Were the Days.

time pal and L both came in on
burro's feet over the old Yuma trail
and tented around here in the desert
wilds, with a giant cactus block for
our card table; and under the bright
silver moonlight we enjoyed our old
corn cob pipe.
Talk about good times-them was
the good old days, when the burro
was your best friend. The days of
power of gold. It's got the power all
right but what about the power of
nerve and endurance of the good old
prospector, who ventured DER the des

brave old boy of yesterday. They'rt
gone,'' he sadly murmers and his old
eyes filled with tears, as he told of
the good old prospector as it was in
former years. Some have gone to
rest up yonder mesa, few remain
yet to remind us that once this state
was new and yes, some have died
with their boots On-while the fell

The stuff being sent out for pub
licatiOn by the Arizona National
Guard Recruiting Service needs
censoring. 1t doesn't appear neces
sary to this paper that insults should
be offered the citizens of the state
on account of the tardiness Of the
young men of Arizona to enlist in
the Fighting First. Adjutant Cen
eral Harris should adopt a different
policy than is at present in vogue
in the conduct of his publicity de-
partment if he hopes to bring the
National Guard up to full war
strength.
