FOUR-FOOTED GRUBBING HOES

For a year or more the United States Reclamation Service in the Salt River Valley has found profit in the cleaning of canal banks by bands of sheep and goats, which eliminates weeds in very satisfactory fashion and are a source of profit, replacing the large expense known when show els had to be used. It is now propos- ed, as a war measure, to clear away grass and weeds from roadsides by the same method and plan has been put before the supervisors to pur- chase sheep and goats, to be driven along the county roads, with the ex- pectation that the bands will more than pay for their upkeep and will serve to diminish the present weed

TEACH THEM ENGLISH.

An official bulletin of the Bureau of Education asserts that there are 3,000,000 foreign-born white residents of the United States who cannot speak the English language. The to- tai of foreign-born whites is about 16,- 100000. There is manifestly need for the Americanization movement. By every practicable means the govern ment and the people of the United States should provide opportunity for the non-English immigrant to learn the language spoken in this country, and should then insist that he learn it. Ultimately there should be no excuse for foreign language newspaper published in the United States.

LESSONS FROM THE TAX.

The extra cent which New York CTS will have to pay to send a letter to Brooklyn appeals to the New York World as likely to force their atten- tion to the desirability of having only one postoffice in the greater city with branches in the several boroughs, so that the old two-cent rate may be maintained. It may work this way But it is quite as likely to force the attention of New Workers to the de- sirability of having an administration and a Congress at Washington which will be willing to raise money for the government by tariff duties instead of burdensome direct taxation, stamp taxes and the like.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.

In the matter of this war, every body's business is the business of ev- erybody.
 In the matter of our participation part of it is in process of transaction at home; part abroad.
 Service is taking more forms than can be counted and it is as sure as fate that strain will intensity.
 One of the forms is exceptional in that it would be an exaggeration to call it sacrificial.
 The promoters of the second Lib erty loan are asking that money. be advanced to the government.
 They are not asking for donations. They are asking subscribers to invest in secure securities.
 The bonds offered for sale are the safest in the world. Nothing is safe if they are not.
 Pending return of the principal, which is sure, comparatively high rate of interest will be paid.
 Applying the strictest of business principles, the investment is attract i've. It is "gilt-edged."
 But other principles apply. Sub scribers subscribe to cause, and it happens to be their own.
 This is one of the many forms ser vice takes. It is one in which asper- ities are reduced to a minimum.
 It is the hope of the secretary of the treasury that to fund of S5,0OO,- 100000 there will be 10,000,000 con- tributors.
 There should be more rather than less. The greater the number of sub scribers, the more significant the res ponse.
 Nowhere will the returns" be awaited with greater interest than in the White House.
 Nobody stands in greater need of positive and unquestionable assuran- ces than does the president.
 The buyer of a $50 bond, S1 down, will send word to Washington-word that will be appreciated.
 And the same buyer will send word to Berlin-word that will be under stood.-Brooklyn Eagle.

PARTISAN TARIFF COMMISSION

If there was any one body cheated during the present administration which it was understood was to be non-partisan and unbiased in charac- ter, the Tariff Commission was such a body. All the discussion that has ever taken place in favor of the ere ation of tariff commission has been based upon the assumption that a commission so created would be com posed of men who would approach their work with open minds so that the Congress of the United States would have the benefit of facts gath cred and arranged without the in- fluence of prejudice.
 When the President came to appoint the Tariff Commission he confessed that he realized the difficulty of the task and took seven months to select

ALSACE MUST BE RESTORED.

The German Chancellor insists that there can be no peace so long as the enemy demands the surrender of any German territory. This raises an in- teresting problem of definitions. Take Alsace-Lorraine, for instance. It has been ruled by Germany for genera ton, but it never has been German in any real sense. Today much of its soil is held by French troops and many of its communities are administered in the name of France. However, the whole discussion is academic-for no peace will be made which does not restore Alsace-Lorraine to French possession,

the individuals who would constitute that supposedly important body. He selected as Chairman a college pro- lessor who had been for several years teaching the doctrine of free trade and whose theory of tariff is indicat- ed by his assertion that 'it is no loss to us to import a thing if we can import it cheaper than we can make it at home." The man selected as Chairman was Frank w. Taussig.
 The man selected as Vice-Chairman was Daniel c. Roper, who had been clerk of the House Committee on Ways and Means and aided in the drafting of the destructive tariff law of 1913.
 The third man was former Con- gressman David J. Lewis, of Mary land, who, although not participating in the debate upon the tariff act of 1913, apparently because it was a subject to which he had given no at- tention, yet was a supporter of that measure. ....
 The fourth man was former Con gressman William Kent of Californ- ia, who was president of the Wood row Wilson Non-partisan League in the 1916 campaign. At the time the tariff bill of 1913 was under consid- eration, Congressman Kent, in deliv- ering an address in the House, referr- ed to the protective tariff as "the great boss god Baal" and "this Robin Hood system of distribution" and "a noxious disease" and Gan attenuated form of fundamental fallacy".
 The four men mentioned above were pronounced free-traders. The other two members of the Commission, and who were appointed for the shortest terms, were W. s. Culbertson, repre- sented as Republican, and E. P. Costigan, Progressive, whose in fluence aided in the election of Will son. Neither of these men had any public record on the tariff. Four of these men are pronounced free-trad- CTS and the other two are practically unknown quantities.
 Roper has resigned to take an ap- pointment where his political power will be greater, and where he can ren- der more effective service in securing votes to keep the free trade party in control of the government. It will be interesting to see what sort of man the President will appoint to succeed him.

THE KIDDIES CAN HELP.

Advices received from all over the nation show the food conservation work to have been taken up by every branch of the school systems, from the universities to the district schools. In some of them the county work has been divided up among school district organizations. North Carolina has completed organization of 10000 workers. In all there is the fullest cooperation between the food admin istrators and every civic war relief organization.

WINTER WHEAT IN ARIZONA.

Through the Agricultural Exten- sion Service of the University of Ari- zona, Food Administrator Riordan has advised that the government price of $2.10 a bushel, equivalent to s3.5O per 100 pounds at terminal points, is very satisfactory to farmers in general and that a much increased acreage of winter wheat will be planted in Ari- zona, especially in the northern coun- ties.

excellent coats for harder wear, or more
dressy wear, like moleskin, ermne or

here have marked nearly everything in
stock down to prices that meet the needs
of all requirements, though C. C. Shayne

carry only pelts that are the best in their
class, made in latest styles. There are
always conservative fashions and ex-
tremes, however, and the woman who
wants her furs to last and look well
chooses from the conservative class.
Glove Modes.
While long gloves are the mode with
evening dress, it is still quite permissible
to have the hands and arms uncovered.

Opera Mrs. George Gould wore no gloves,
