IMPORTANT BUSINESS WHICH
DEMAND ATTENTION

Information from the state capital a
few days ago was to the effect that ap-
propriations made by the last legisla-
ture for building purposes were far
in excess of the amount available, 1t
was stated that the amounts allowed
for various buildings would have to
be cut about one-third. The appro-
priation Of 100000 for additional
buildings for the o. C. w. is serious
ly affected by this condition if the
foregoing information is authentic.
That the situation thus presented is
disconcerting to the friends of the col
lege is not open to question. The in
stitution will be seriously crippled un-
less the full amount Of the appropria-
tion is forthcoming for new buildings.
1t is possible that the situation is not
as bad as reported or that some way
out Of the difficulty is possible. A.
any rate the matter should receive
prompt attention at the hands of our
citizens We should know where we
are at" without delay Somebody
should be sent to the capital to inves-
tigate the matter in order that we
may have complete information and
be prepared to take such steps as may
be possible to meet the situation.

Throughout his article confirms prac-
tically all the charges that have been
made against Germany in this coun-
try. In sympathetic accord with Pres
ident Wilson, he demands that the
German government be democratized
as a prerequisite to peace.
In common with the view taken by
competent critics in America and the
allied countries, Herr Harden declares
that Germanys last peace overtures
were not put forth in sincerity but
merely as an excuse for che resump-
tion of ruthless submarine warfare.
Most astounding of all his statements
is his frank recognition of the real
motives Of America in entering the
war. The government controlled press
of Germany has blatantly asserted
that America went to war at the be-
hest of the munition makers and other
Wall street interests but Harden
truthfully points out that in abandon
ing neutrality the Unitel States as
sumed a contract that must deprive it
of war profits; that America for the
sake of an ideal rejected profitable
neutrality in favor of costly strife.

Prof. Wylie, botanist in the
Iowa state university, has de-
clared that a shade tree adds
S1OO to the worth of residence
property in that state. If it is
worth that in Iowa, it is worth
more in Arizona, and our citizens
should keep on planting. There
are but few towns in the that
have more growing trees than
Winslow, so it is no longer an ex-
pertinent here. and property
owners should keep on adding
trees until both sides of every
street are lined, and then plant
a few on the lot for good mea-
sure. The theory of our national
forest reserves was to conserve
the moisture on the watersheds,
and they also have a tendency to
increase the rainfall.

Miss Rankin, of Montana, the
first lady ever elected to a seat
in Congress, was put to a severe
test on her first vote cast as a
member on the roll call to declare
state of war against Germany.
When her name was called she
said she wanted to stand by her
country, but she could not cast
her vote for a measure that
might cost the lives of some of
our boys. Isn't that just like a
woman? Motherly in S tt n C t

of that vote the men in Congress

her country, but she was think

Cool Heads Needed.

While the government is max
ing all needed preparations to
get itself in readiness for what
ever course it may find necessary
to take in it's declaration of war
against Germany, it is we'll to
remember that cool heads among
the people of the country is; most
desirable. Nothing is to be gain
ed by wild and senseless agita-
ton, but you can materially as
sist the country in going forward
calmly and dispassionately in
your usual walks of life, prepar-
ing yourself by prayerful medita-
tion for the call of duty when it
comes. Working yourself into a
frenzy discussing the conditions
is neither the sign of patriotism
or loyalty, and results in more
damage than good. The Presi-
dent and his advisers, and Con-
gress are going ahead as fast as
possible with their plans for the
mobilization of an army of a mil
lion men, and when everything
is in readiness call will be is
sued for enlistments to the full
quota assigned to each state.
Until that hour arrives, keep cool
and look the serious problem con-
fronting the nation squarely in
the face with a firm resolution
that you will do you duty faith
fully whatever it may be.

The death of Hon. Richard o.
ney, at his home in Boston last
Sunday, removes prominent
character in the national life of
nearly a quarter of a century

Cleveland's cabinet as Secretary
of State. He it was who notified
the British government politely
but firmly that the Monroe Doc
trine was still a vital force in
this country, and any attempt of
the English to land soldiers on
Venezuela soil would be the sig
nal for opening hostilities. The
soldiers were not landed. The
fighting blood of the Lexington
farmers coursed the veins of
Richard Olney, and he was al

low, which practically pays one
half the taxes in the county, eX-
pressed itself in a petition to the
board that it was opposed to the
submission of a bond election at
this time, requesting that the
election be postponed until the
new bridge across the Little
Colorado was completed. For
reasons best known to them
selves the supervisors paid no
heed to the petition of Winslow,

scheme to saddle debt of $50,

their protest against the effort
of the supervisors to add to their

years ignored all the rights and
interests of this city, and it was
hoped with the change a little
semblance of justice would be
vouchsafed to this side of the
county, but evidently such hopes
were only dreams. They are
perfectly willing Winslow should
pay the bonds, but the city is
never to be consulted as to when
the bonds should be voted, nor
where any of the money should

HE IS SURE A
 STUD GROWER

The Fairbanks News-Miner of Oc- tober Il, says:
 Here's a spud story that is reported by Gus Conradt. who just returned from the Tolovana district, and he ayers that it is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Fred Raaz, hearing the call of Hoover, planted a garden last spring on ? a above Livengood creek. In one patch he planted 15 pounds of potato seed and from that garden he reaped har- vest of 775 pounds of potatoes.
 On another plot of ground he plant ed some other seed. The total seed planted weighed 100 pounds and his total crop weighed 2,100 pounds, for which he has been receiving F cents per pound.
 The potato patch was located on the creek, so that it received only the afternoon sun, but it flourished and MT. Conradt says that the spuds were of the finest quality.
