TT F IT Is true that members OF
the L ". W. are cooperating
- with German subjects in the
conspiracy to cause a general strike
in the copper fields OF Arizona then
they should be arrested and tried for
treason" said Walter X Pennywitt
1T certainly is an act of treason for
men to cause such a strike at this
time. The United States government
needs all the copper it can obtain for
the war Leaders Of labor unions in
the face OF the present crisis who call
strikes are traitors to their country
and in my opinion should be severely
dealt with. They are certainly not
worthy Of being called American
citizens

Says Location of Underground
Water Is Now Easy and Certain

Editor Ell Paso Herald
d" HE locating of underground
sources of water supply is Of
vital Importance to many dis
tricts in the western states. for it has
been authoritatively computed that
there are over 6OO.OO0.OO0 acres that
cannot be cultivated with any degree
of success unless water is found for
irrigation and for stock
In the past many persons have
claimed to be able to locate under
ground sources Of water. Some fix
the position OF subterranean streams
from the bending of the branches of
trees in the vicinity. According to
them, the branches have generally a
tendency to droop towards any IN
derground water. This theory is
doubtful, as the bending of branches
depend on many factors. particularly
the wind Some locate the springs
from the natural slope of the coun-
Try, the nature of the soil and wells
IN the vicinity. This is the method
commonly employed by engineers and
geOlOSlStS. with very uncertain re-
suits Then we have the man with
the ndze4 switch who seems TO have
more 10 his credit than any of the
others.
However. the matter of locating the
underground waters is no longer a
hit or miss proposition 1t is being
done with certainty by a highly
scientific method. the principle being
known in physics as the electIo-mag-
netic reduction principle IL will ap-

nent as in the last case Here. when
denly connected TO the terminals OF

There are certain rules laid down
