Manager for the Company. says:
The farmer wants to figure on
planting about 35 to 40 pounds of
seed beans to the acre The yield
the past year on irrigated land
around Trinidad (where beans
were tried on large scale) averaged
very close to 2200 pounds to the
acre Even at price of &c a pound
this promises profit of something
like $4,000 per acre. On dry land
the average was 1000 pounds or
more per acre.

beans and threshed them, we buy
them either in the dirt or re-clean.

STATE FAIR RACE MEETING

The race meeting at Phoenix,
Arizona, November 18th to 18th,
inclusive, gives every promise of
being one of the very best, from
a racing viewpoint, held in the
United States this year. The
reputation of its equable climate
and perfect race course has Gre
ated a widespread interest. The
splendid purses and stakes Of
fered, and reports of the cordial
welcome extended to visiting
horsemen and their friends, have
also had wholesome effect.
Many of the leading horse
owners of Kentucky and the far
Eastern states have signified
their intention of sending some
of their best trotters and PAGERS
there, in charge of the most fa-
nous reinsmen in the United
States, to compete in the races
and also get time records for
their fastest horses.
Horsemen from Oregon, Wash
ington, California and Canada
will also assemble there with the
best horses that have appeared
on the Pacific Coast this year,
and, with their Eastern brethren,
will form an aggregation that
has never been known in the
history of light harness racing
before. The Breeder and Sports

BALBOA'S SWORD

A sword, broken and rusty,
but with the hilt intact, said to
have been bathed in the waters
of the Pacific by Balboa centuries
ago, is among the priced relics
of the United States Marine
Corps. The weapon was found
in the grip of a dead revolutionary
leader by a Marine during the
rebel uprising in Nicaragua in
1912. 1t formerly reposed in a
museum at Leon. At that time
the steel of the sword was in
fairly good condition and could
be bent double without breaking,
after four centuries of use. Ac-
cording to traditions, Balboa
killed many natives with it prior
to his discovery of the Pacific.

HOW WAR CAN BE WON

Every once in while some
distinguished citizen of German
ancestry, but naturalized as an
American, speaks in burning
words that should be dinned into
the ears of all, native-born or
naturalized, says the Ell Paso
Times.
Professor Max F. Meyer, of
the University of Missouri, re-
Gently the recipient of an invita-
ton to join one of the o"gan'za-
tions with high-sounding names
whose real object is to paralyze
the fighting arm of the American
government, in replying that the
invitation was an insult, said:
Il am thoroughly familiar
with the present organization of
the German social body and with
its elimination. the present Ger
man government. | am much
more familiar with it than any
of your committee. | have lived
in Germany twenty-five years. |
was born there. | was educated
there. l spent nineteen years of
my life in German educational
institutions from the kindergar-
ten to the research laboratory
Professor Meyer cites these
things to show that he knows
Germany not from the outside,
but from the inside, as land in
which the military class is the
governing class. Stating these
facts, Professor Meyer then utters
this solemn warning to disloyal-
lists in this country:
III Germany wins this war,
fifty years hence it's government
will rule the American people. |
do not want my American chill
dren to be put under this yoke
which l escaped by coming to
America. NV hope is that the
German government will be
overthrown and that the German
nation, my relatives and friends,
will enter an international Or
ganization for peace and justice.
But the German government,
this fearful danger to our future,
can be overthrown only by rails
ing armies, not by sitting around
your council tables and working
for the repeal of conscrjption
laws

MUST BE STOPPED

1t looks as if it is going to be
necessary for some man, woman
or child to be killed before the
practice of letting young girls
and boys drive automobiles thru
the streets of the town will be
stopped.
1t was close to death for Mr..
Echols when he was run over by
an auto Monday afternoon, driven
by a young girl, fourteen years
old, who was busy talking to
people in the rear seat, instead
of watching ahead and prevent
ing the very thing that happened.
The enforcement of an ordi-
nance placing the penalty on the
owner of an auto who allows a
young boy or young girl to drive
it, would stop this practice.

A CONVENTION OF SPEED

Speed cars, representing a
total value of 5000, 600, will con-
test in the professional automo-
bile races which will be held at
the State Fair, November 18th
18th. From the list of cars and
drivers already entered in the
races, which will be held under
the sanction of the International
Motor Contests Association, there
is every reason to believe that
some of the dirt track records
will receive a severe jolt.
Naturally, the interest will
center on the monster Bitten
Benz No. 2, the worlds greatest
speed creation. This is the rec
ord smashing car that the late
Bob Burman drove a mile in
25 1-5 seconds at Ormond Beach,
Florida, and the car that Bur-
man predicted, before his death
at Corona, CAL, would be the
Three -Mile-a- Minute" car Of
the future. The Bitten Benz
No. 2 will exhibit its speed here
with the worlds greatest dirt
track driver, wild Bill" Endi-
colt, driving his Sweeney Spec.

mot MY BIT, BUT MY ALL"

Possibly new slogan for the
Food Conservation movement has
been coined by Mrs. Louise M.
r. Rodgers, of Humboldt, who
has written the Arizona Food
Administrator, telling, I am
trying to do not only my bit, but
my all, in the cause Of liberty
and speedy world peace.
Mrs. Rodgers writes briefly
that she already had adopted the
Hoover advice relative to meat
less and wheatless meals, ''in
order that our men in the trench
es, the starving Belgians and
Serbians may benefit thereby.
| have not allowed one particle
of food, however small, to go to
waste" With pride she espec-
tally refers to the drying of many
different vegetables for use in
stews and soups this winter that
may have been permitted to have
gone to waste and to fill a gar
bage can.
Possibly it would be well to
establish a new Arizona home

doing not my bit, but my all. "

AL. G. BARNES CIRCUS
Will Show Here a. the High
School Grounds, Next
Wednesday, Nov. 9TH

With two rings and two steel
arenas, hundreds of new animals
and dozens of new acts, the AL.
G. Barnes big four-ring wild ami
NAL circus is coming to Stafford,
Wednesday, November 7th.
The entertainment provided by
the Barnes Circus is original,
new, clean and instructive. Many
s snsational and thrilling features
abound throughout the program,
which is opened by the most gi-
gantic animal pageant conceiv-
able, a march that includes 1000
animals in glorious scintillating
trappings, 500 people and natives
of the wild Nianzi country. The
program is full of dash and life
as daring animal educators risk
their lives in teaching and pre-
senting ferocious beasts in thrill
ing and extraordinary circus acts.
Thirty of the largest, full
grown, man eating African lions
are seen in one act. This big
sensational exploit is remarkable;
$50, 900 worth of lions are seen
in the arena at one time, single
man putting them through their
performances.
A troup of thirty bears is a
part of the wild animal actor Sec
tion. American and Russian griz-
zlies, cinnamon, sable, sloth,
polar and black bears are seen
mostly in comedy lines and eques-
trian and wrestling features.
Two herds of elephants, among
them a sacred Burmese baby ele-
phant, which has been educated
to let a sea lion ride on it's back.
Martha Florine and her leop-
ards in leaping and fire hoop
jumping, Samson" an aviation
lion, are also some OF the tnrlllerS.
Augmenting the wild animal
features are many other highly
educated animals in acts of less
"shivery' nature. Dogs and
monkeys in highdive and trapese
work, goats, pigs and Barnes
challenge horses and ponies are
prominently displayed. Over one
thousand animal actors in sixty
five feature acts. A score of
human clowns and fifty animals
provide the fun. Electric fans,
electric lights, seats with back
and foot rests make for the COM
fort of the patrons. A jungle
nursery for the kiddies, and the
big free two-mile long street pa
rade at 1:30 p. m. for everybody.
Doors open at loo and TOO p. m.

THE GOOD ROAD QUESTION

There is no doubt but that the
county roads are in a horrible
condition, especially in the valley
section, and something should be
done, with as little delay as posi-
BILE, to make the necessary re-
pairs that will put the reads in
good condition for travel.
The board of supervisors can
hardly be blamed for the present
condition of the roads. There
has been very little money for
the board to work on in this par
ticular class of work during the
past year, but the board has, in
it's last budget, provided a much
larger fund, which, as soon as it
becomes available, viii allow it
to carry out plans for the repair
ing'of roads and keep them in
good condition, as far as the
money lasts.
Several months ago, the needs
of good roads in this county was
so apparent to everyone, that the
old board sought to interest the
people in an issue of road bonds
that would raise a sufficient sum
to place every road in the county
in first-class condition. But the
people would not stand for a
bond issue, and, had the election
been called, the bond issue would
have been defeated. The calling
off of the election placed the
roads of the county in the old
position of depending upon what
money could be raised for road
construction through taxation,
and the usual thing occurred:
Not enough money could be raised
in this way to pay for the kind
of work needed in making better
roads.
The expense of keeping up the
county government has again
been increased this year through
the action of the State Tax Com
mission in increasing the assess
ment on land and cattle, which
has placed the county in new
class providing larger salaries
for its officers. This additional
expense must be met by the peo-
pie in increased taxation and in
connection with this will be the
payment for back salaries, brot
about by the county classification
act.
The county's expenses are ever
increasing and yet we try to hold
down to the old method of a low
tax rate which does not help US
out in the things we need most,
such as good roads, but may be
good for a political showing at
election time.
The one best method for Sc
curing good roads is through a
bond issue and Graham county
will never have good roads until
the people realize that the pres
ent system for securing funds
for road building are entirely in
adequate and impossible for the
purpose.
