TIE CASE OF TURKEY

We have not declared war upon
Turkey and the president seems In
clined 10 postpone that step to the
last possible moment We do not
want 70 anger the sick man OF Europe
Jus now. not for any love We bear for
him, not for any fear We may have
for his prowess-hut as long as we
are not officially an enemy We have
many advantages which would be de-
MED the very day We put the Turk on
our list of declared enemies
Morally Turkey is and has long
been at enmity with America We're
she able 20 do So she would gladly
take as much hand IN strafing the
Americans as either Of our enemies.
Yet as long as We avoid asgravAting
m, sultlrs government We may yet
have opportunities 20 do good IN his
realm.
For one thing. the declaration Of
war would at once cut US on from all
ro'lcf work In Asia Minor The rem
nant Of the Armenian people wouId
bc LEFT 20 their fate, and We All know
what that fate would DE with AN help
Withdrawn. The cruel and fanatic
Mos'em has well nigh obliterated the
race already. and he would take
pleasure In finishing the job as soon
az he learned that friends were cut
of from them There are atrocities
In plenty going on with little inter
ruptiou. but nothing compared 10 the
havoc that would follow the news OF
cur declaration of war Also there
are are many reope OF other race,
Living within the suItan's realm whose
only hope Of peace and life hangs on
tho influence Of America Were that
withdrawn the blood lust Of the Mos
lens would not be long restrained
against Greek. jew ard Syrian. with
little less Joy than he takes in staying
an Armenian.
From another view. Turkey ha,
been awfully disappointed IN her al
llance with Germany. Il has become
apparent 20 her leaders that they
made a mistake in entering the com
pact II viii not hurt their con-
sciences a bit TO break their agree
Meut with the kaiser. and some day
they viii do so. This may be accom-
plished all the sooner with American
as friend rather than an open
enemy The Turk is doomed anyway.
eNuests 10 see him cuu1a out
of this war with any remnant OF hls
former power All the world nearly
viii rejoice az his obhterauon. But
DE may hang on long enough to si,.
the kaiser his death-blow before the
end comes.

when Uncle Lucky looked in the pot
OF gold which the rainbow had
dropped down the chimney he found
that It was fun of $40 gold pieces. So
he took out big handful and gave
them to Billy Bunny. Now YOU have
gold dollars as well as gold watch
and chain. SO you must always love
your Uncle Lucky"
Then the old gentleman rabbit got
his automobile out and took Billy
Bunny for ride. IL was the first
time the little bunny boy had ridden
In an automobile, and II was lots OF
fun. After they had gone a long ways
they came TO the ola Farm.
I'm going to buy some fresh eggs
said Uncle Lucky. But little Kenny
Jenny couldn't change the $40 sold
piece.
well. I'll take $40 worth OF eggs
then" said Uncle Lucky. So they
filled up the back OF the automobile
with eggs and as there weren't enough
OF Henny Jenny's thev got some from
Goosie Loosle and Mrs Duck. The
automobile was now full and Uncle
Lucky started for home.
But, oh. dear me, Something awful
happened. The automobile began to
run from sido TO side, and the next
instant, Bangl ~ went rlSnt INTO a
tree! All the eggs flew out and some
hit Uncle Lucky and somo hit tho
little rabbit boy, and others hit the
trees and spattered all over every
thing. And Uncle Lucky looked like a
posched egg and Billy Bunny like an
omeletl
IL took them two hours and forty
niue minutes and nine hundred and
fifty seconds to clean themselves ana
then they weren't clean, And the
automobilel Well, by this time the old
gentleman rabbit was so tired that
he had to sit down and rest BY and
by they started to clean the automo-
bile. but they used so much gaso-
line there wasn't any left so of sourse
It couldn't so.
We'll, this is nice pickle" said
Uncle Lucky "ln have 20 change my
name or get new automobile; the
two don't go together any more.
Just then who should come along
but the circus elephant.

to at once put force of men to work
on all roads in the valley which are
not In good repair, and make them
ready for the farmers who are re-
qutred to transport their cotton to
the gins, etc It has been impossible
FOR the board to do muc1 road work
lately, owing to the depleted Hondi-
ton of the road fund when they took
up their official duties. But the first
installment Of the 1917 taxes are
commencing to come in and road
work to the very greatest possible
extent will be prosecuted from this
time forward
The board transacted no other I'M
portant business Monday. After
passing OH great many demands
came adjournment.-Ium Sun
We note that the supervisors have
kaken no action in completing the

which is In deplorab!e condition.
Evidently it's Yuma first the north

Of the Wesley Martin water works,
with misdemeanOr. 1t appears they
had a dispute over matters pertain
ing to the water service and Film, as
"a retaliatOry measure, cut the water
pipe in the street near the Hemphill
home and shut off the water. This
pipe was the property of the Parker
Improvement company but was being
used by Martin. Hemphill, under
the provision of the law which makes
the cutting of water pipe without
the consent of the owner a penal
Offense. had Film arrested When
the case came up for hearing Tuesday
afternoon in the local justice court,
the defendant moved for a change of
venue on the ground that he verify
believed he could not obtain justice
or be dealt with fairly by the local
justice of the peace. The case was
accordingly transferred to Justice

however, rapidly becoming a lost art

VALUABLE STEER SAVED BY
CLEVER TRAILING.

Constable John Roberts, through
the exercise Of bit Of his old-time
trailing ability the other day, saved
the life of a valuable steer, which,
after it had travelled about thirty
FIVE miles over the burning desert In
quest of water, would have died OF
thirst within FIVE feet of a river full
Of 1t, only for his timely appearance
upon the scene.
On Friday of last week, as Roberts
was riding along near Headgate rock,
he noticed cow tracks crossing the
road, the animal having gone In the
direction Of the river as indicated by
its trail To the average individual
these tracks, If noticed at all. would
have meant nothing, but to Roberts,
ex-cowboy, law officer, scout and
pathfinder, they meant something
and he followed them. The tracks
were several days old, very indistinct
and no inexperienced person could
have followed them but he did. They
led to a place where there Is con-
tinuous bluff probably fifteen feet
high along the bank of the river
The animal was obviouS4S famishing
from thirst and when it came to the
bluff, in its eagerness to reach the
water, had jumped down upon a
shelf of rock which was probably
ave feet above the water. There 1t
was held prisoner no telling how
long, as the creature was very thin
and hollow-eyed, unable to get back
and fearful to take the final leap
though perishing for want of a
drink. When Roberts suddenly ap-
peared on the bank above, the poor
brute (Which was naturally wild)
was 80 startled that 1t lost all re-
straint and plunged down into the
stream Although weak and nearly
exhausted. 1t swan, was caught In a
whirlpool and spun around for a
considerable length of time, but 1t
struggled desperately, and finally
got out Of the whirl and managed to
reach the shore.
Mr.. Roberts made note Of the
ear-mark and later learned that the
animal belonged to certain parties
at Butler valley, 1t having travelled
a distance of at least thirty-five
miles
