DYNAM| 1T HUME ST|RS UP
 TUCSON PEOPLE

For the second time in three months the home of TeOfilo Aros of Tucson was blown up early this week The explosion, which wrecked the large house. broke all the glass within a radium of six blocks, and practically put two school houses out of commits sion. It is thought that the two schools will have to be rebuilt before they can be used.
 Aros, who is a wealthy Mexican cat tie man, has had trouble in the past with two former partners whom he at one time backed in a motion picture venture. Following the breaking up of the company. the two partners, who are notorious characters along the bor- der, swore they would get Aros.
 Three months ago they planted dy- namite near the Aros home and sue ceeded in blowing to pieces three autos. Monday night Mrs. Aros re- ceivcd a phone call from Nogales, an unknown voice informing her that her husband was to be blown up that night. She ignored the warning.
 At 2.30 o'clock Tuesday morning the entire city was awakened by the blast which brought practically the whole town out clad in night shirts and pa iamas It might be said for the pres ence of mind of the city at large that nearly everyone added sixshooter to his or her equipment
 There were IS people sleeping in the house at the time, but no one was in jured This is due to the fact that the dynamiter placed the explosive under the front porch in an unconfined area. If h chad showed it up against the ce- nlent foundation, the story might have been different.

ON[Y IA SO FAR FIR BORDER BAND

Fourteen recruits for the First Ari- zona have been secured since the re cruiting stations were established in various cities of the state last Monday. Of this number, Phoenix has furnished eight, Douglas five and Yuma one. Tucson has yet to file its first appli- cation.
 'I cannot understand the situation at Tucson. said Adjutant General Harris yesterday afternoon. Tucson citizens have always appeared loyal and patriotic. but in the present crisis they are doing anything but their share of the work in recruiting the regiment to full war strength. Even Douglas which cannot claim one seventh the population of Tucson. is far ahead of the Old Pueblo in the number of re- cruits furnished"
 According to Colonel Harris, the above figures will show that the re- cruiting work in the state is progress ing very unsatisfactory in view of the fact that at least HOO men are needed to fill the ranks to full war strength. The lack of enthusiasm, it is stated, would undoubtedly result in conscrip- tion within a short time.

SWEET LITTLE
 MAID DIES AS
 RESULT BURNS

Anna Nelson Weedon. the four-ye old daughter of Mir. and Mrs. F. L. Weedon died yesterday afternoon at the home of her grandmother, Mrs. IT. C. Brawner, 525 East Grant street.
 The child's death was caused by burns which she received about three weeks ago She had been initiating her grandmother and was industrious ly crocheting She dropped her needle down a crack in the walk, and without saying anything obtained match and proceeded to scratch it, leaning over the crack in the walk to look for her lost needle. Her dress caught fire and before her screams brought her grand mother her clothing was almost en- tirely consumed Hope for her recovery was held out until the last few days when it became apparent that the little sufferer was losing in her fight for life.
 The many friends of the parents and of the little child herself will be shocked and grieved to learn of her untimely passing. A more lovable and beautiful child has never blessed the hearts of parents and friends.
 Her hosts of friends have always considered here the paragon of perfec- Don, ana were justified III tHlS thOuSnt by the fact that twice she has won blue ribbons in the child beauty con test at the state fair. She was also awarded first prize at the state fair for perfect physical and mental devel- opment.
 The funeral will be held this after noon at o'clock from the family resi- dence, 525 East Grant street. The little girl is the niece of Walter i F. Brawner and George A. Brawner both well known in Phoenix.

j. w. JONES,
? SPANISH WAR VETERAN

On Tuesday when all the town
turned out to demonstrate a COM
munity's loyalty to state and govern
ment large framed portrait OF
Colonel j. w. Jones, commander of
the Idaho infantry at the battle OF
Manila in the Spanish-American war,
was hung in the central window of
the new Idaho Republican office, by
courtesy of Mrs. Blanche Eldredge,
his daughter.
Colonel Jones was a resident of
Blackfoot. He went with the Idaho
troops to the Philippines, and con-
tracted an illness in that tropical
climate, was sent home to recuperate,
but never recovered.
He was from 1887 to 1902 editor
Of The Blackfoot News, a newspaper
of distinction, which never published
line of scandal, and gave the pub
lie nothing but the high, the clean
and the noble. His sons, J. w.
Jones, Gregory Jones and Percy
Jones, are well known and respected
citizens of Blackfoot. They have all
made good, and in their probity show
results of their fathers fine influence.

HIGH SCHOOL is TO
HAVE CADET BATTALION

Professor Vincent announces that
plans are already under way to con-
duct a military training course for
the boys of the high school and the
grade schools. Over 100 of the pat
riotic young men have made known
their desire to obtain the valuable
training. This cadet department will
be independent of any military or
ganization as such. It's purpose is
to give the boys some rudiments OF
military tactics and good physical
exercise. The greatest good of the
training will be learning to act as
a disciplined body of men. Messrs.
Eichelberger, Avery and Lowrey have
all had drill experience and will be
in the new department.
R. C. Graft, salesman for the Saxon
Motor company, a Spanish American
war veteran, has offered his services
tc the battalion. Under the new law
1t is possible for such organizations
to secure equipment from the gov
eminent on request.

SERVICE

It took 1900 years for the Holy
Bible to attain it's present prestige
as a source of wisdom and literature,
hut. it is as much of an influence on
human character as the sun is on
the fields. Every good thing has
some beginning and long growth,
and our public library is good
thing.
IF It had not been launched for
another year, what difference would
it have made? 1t might easily have
waited several years but for the lr-
repressible energetic action of some
ladies of Blackfoot. Coming@a year
later it would have missed one year s
influence, which in the beginning Is
so great it cannot be calculated. II
YOU plant a crop one week too late
you might lose all of it, or half or
it.
The books of the Blackfoot public
library entered the lives of hund-
reds of children last fall, and when
they are grown up they will relate
the very circumstances as happening
in 1915. Next year there will be
others to commence their intellectual
lives-but these who have met books
will be one year on their way. Who
can say that a year at the beginning
of mental life means but trivial
matter of months? Ignorance is
bondage. 1t is never too early to
set minds free.

TABER EXPEDITION

Right after the enthusiastic mass
meeting, the parade, the patriotic
speeches and singing, number OF
men were seen striding down Main
street with shot-guns and rifles and
determined faces. They had heard
that in defiance of the present war
crisis and heat of loyal American
blood a German flag was floating
over the Taber school house. They
proposed to take it down. An engine
and coach were Communicated and
Deputy Sheriff Charlie Thompson,
leader, packed it with about 40
Blackfoot citizens all armed and
anxious to set things Alright at Taber.
But it has not been reported that
anything definite was learned, and
certain it is they found no German
flag. Sheriff Simmons went up the
branch a few hours before, and had
promised to telephone back If he
saw anything disloyal. 1t started with
a telephone call from Taber, sup
r osedly, and the report was verified
by calling from Blackfoot. No one
either at Taber or in Blackfoot now
seems to have any information to
give concerning the matter.

VAIN TAUNTS

Sighting statements about the
lack of fighting warmth in Americans
have not been few Of late months,
nor all confined to foreign places.
Americans themselves have deprecat-
ed the pacific tendencies of our in
land population, as evidenced by the
small show of interest in national
guard service and the Mexican
trouble, and almost no feeling in re-
gard to the sinking of American
ships on the high seas.
But as with most statements about
large numbers of people these slurs
have had no more truth in them than
their authors had knowledge of hui
mainly. Large bodies move ponder
ously, and they are not self starting
any more than rivers. The American
people may require a great accumu-
lation of pin pricks and thorns-ln-
the side to get them into action, but
it is certain that every one OF these
spurs has its effects. The American
spirit is moving warward. But once
in the fight against Germany 1t Will
be as hard to stop as 1t was to start
It, and there will be no more pos
sibility Of a draw or drawing on.
The not altogether happy expert
ences of the militia boys at the Mexi-
can border may have been considered
damper upon enlistment in state
organizations, and yet, no sooner did
the call go out last week than 800
men stepped forth to fill the ranks
of the Second Idaho regiment in one
day. And the prospects are not even
as interesting from an individual
point of view as they were last sum-
mer. The people believe that the
nation needs them and the young
men are ready. It is time for de-
tractors to take the other tack. The
wind is the other way now, and it
Is dangerous in times OF stress to
belong to a disturbing minority.

EXCURSION RATES
FOR ADVERTISING

For the next two or three weeks
advertisers will enjoy the lowest rate
for advertising in this county that
they have ever had from any news
paper that survived and paid its bills.
This is done in following out the
rule that the rate for advertising is
based upon a paid circulation OF
Z 1900 till it reaches the 1000 mark,
and the extra hundreds service are
free to the advertiser just now and
IL amounts to as much as the entire
circulation of some country weeklies.
When the paid circulation reaches
1000, the new rate will apply max
ing 30 cents an inch which is cent
and a half an inch per 100 of cir
Culation. Note that today's circula-
fion shown on the front page y over
1000 and the paid circulation is just
a little less than 1000.

Big Patriotic Parade and
Enthusiastic Meeting

In response to the governors proc
lamation that Tuesday afternoon
should be devoted by every commun-
ity in the state to demonstrations of
ratriotic accord with pending action
of our national government in the
present crisis, and Mayor E. T.
Peck's local proclamation asking the
citizens to come out with their colors
and singing voices, nearly 5000 peo-
pie shared in the ceremonies OF the
day. Over 1000 school children and
citizens joined in the long parade led
by an excellent home brass band up
Main street, back to Pacific and to
the City Hall, where with the hund-
reds of spectators they sang national
songs, waved flags and applauded
heartily the short, fervent addresses
of the speakers.
Senator L. R. Thomas had charge
of the program. He compllmented
the assembly on their evident loyalty,
and expressed his belief that the peo-
pie of the city, county and state VIII
do their full duty in the event war
comes. He introduced Rev. S. j..
CLANCY, who surprised the already
enthusiastic audience by words OF
fry patriotism and solemn readiness.
He said in part: "This is not time
for speech, but for action-lt is
time for enthusiasm, but not for re-
ioicing." He spoke of the deep sig
nificance of the flag, how 1t stands
for democratic institutions, free gov
eminent how it has been made
sacred in our history. AS for war,
he concluded:
1--WE have never lost, and we never
will"
Judge Cowen was next called be-
fore the congregation. He said that
all governments have but this ex-
cuse for existing: to protect the lives
and property of it's citizens, and d.
rected attention to the fact that II
we fight it will be for the contlnu-
ance of our form of government ana
it's yindication. He said we are just
as patriotic today as we ever were.
Between the speeches the assemb-
Iage sang, "The Star Spangled Ban
ner," America" "Columbla, Gem
of the Ocean," and the song, Ida
no." All of the participants in this
hearty demonstration were pleased
at it's showing of staunch American
shirt. pleased with their loyal
neighbors, and self-determined to 40
a share of the great work that may
be required to be done.
