HUNT IS TO REMAIN
Appointment Made During
Absence Of Head Of Labor
Department

1t will be remembered that at
the time of the appointment of
ex-Gov. Hunt by the President
to act as peace-maker between
the |. w. w. and mine operators
the Douglas Chamber of Com
merce wired the President,
thru Sen. M. A. Smith, it's OBJ
jections to the appointment.
Sen. Smith acted in the matter
and reported back the following:
Your telegram with many
others of like import, have been
presented by me to the secretary
of labor, who has charge of the
mining situation in Arizona, so
far as the federal government is
concerned. The secretary was
not in Washington at the time
of Mr.. Hunts appointment as
mediator. He informs me that
Mr.. Mcbride is the accredited
representative of the government
in these mediation proceedings,
and that Ex-Governor Hunt is
cooperating with him.
Both sides of the question
haye been presented to the Sec
retary Of labor and he has con-
cluded, waving all questions as
to the wisdom of the original
appointment, that no good could
result at the present juncture
and under the present conditions,
by withdrawing the appoint
ment.
Very sincerely yours,
(Signed) IN. A. SMITH"

Purely Political, Certainly
(Coconino SUM

The appointment of former
governor G. Wobbly P. Hunt as
a 'concilliator" by President
Wilson to help settle strike diff
ficulties, brought great joy to
the hearts of the valient crew
of l. w. WIS. This part of
mediation" was one of the last
straws which convinced the peo-
pie of Arizona they would have
to protect their own communities
and in Jerome and Bisbee they
acted promptly. There is a
strong, growing undercurrent of
sentiment among the real people
that this is poor time to drag
in politics when there is so much
at stake.

Federal Plan for Insuring
Lives Of Soldiers

Washington, July %. T h e
federal governments plan for
insuring officers and men of the
army, navy and marine corps
against death and injury while
in service broadened today into a
complex program which would
provide government allowance
for families of soldiers and sail
ors and the rehabilitation and
training of injured men to fit
them for making a livelihood
after the war.
Issuance of insurance policies
from ST, 900 to $4,000 to officers
and men at ordinary peace time
rates, the government paying
the extra cost, indemnities for
total or partial disability, and
administration of the entire
scheme by the governments war
risk insurance bureau, which is
at present insuring officers and
crews of American merchant
vessels, are among the outstand-
ing features of the proposed
program.

Border Battle ReUiUes

AMERICAN PATROL FIRST FIRED UPON BY MEXICANS

Mission, Tex, July 19. APP
proximately 500 shots were ex-
changed across the Rio Grande
today at Oio de Aguas, eight
miles southwest of Mission, be-
tween a small American border
patrol and a number of unident-
flied Mexicans. There were no
American casualties, but latest
reports here say two or three
MeXicans were seen to fall dur

ed at II O'Clock this morning and
ceased at 5 O'Clock when the
Mexicans withdrew from the
river.
Fighting started when several
shots were fired at the patrol

patrol has been thrown out along
the Rio Grande as a precaution
against an attempt at border
raiding.
Few details of the engagement
reached here tonight. From the
best information there were
about a hundred Mexicans par
ticipating and one report says
three distinct bugle calls were
heard. This leads to the belief
that the Americans were attack
ed by an organized force.
The attackers withdrew before

Holbrook Has Prospects for
High School
Special Correspondence.

OPNNAO1 OOII IOONOIlOCuCCs
Holbrook, July 25.
From the present indications
Holbrook is to have a high school.
Prof. +. D. Gallagher, the new
school superintendent, arrived in
town a few days ago and noting
the natural advantages of the
county seat as an educational
center commenced sounding the
sentiment of the people for
high school. Nearly all of the
school patrons and taxpayers
were interviewed with reference
to the matter and enthusiastic
support was vouched from all
parties concerned. An election
has been called to determine the
matter and it is an assured fact
that it will carry by a very
handsome majority and possibly
with no opposition at all.

the lively little burg of Taylor
now stands. He was the father
of the first white child born on
Silver Creek. Except for a short
residence in Snowflake, once
owning the Campbell property
of this city, and except for six
years in San Jaun county, New
Mexico, Uncle Jimmy has lived
in Taylor-on Silver Creek.
There are eight living children.
And last March 6 was the birth
day as we'll as the Golden We'd
ding anniversary for Uucle
Jimmy. The children presented
their father with a fine gold
watch. For this occasion Grand
pa Seth Tanner was an invited
guest, he being about 90 years
of age. When dinner was ready,
they sat down to the same table
which was made by Uncle jim
my's father and presented to
him as a wedding present. In
all the rambles and rounds and
moving from one section to an
other, Uncle Jimmy has clung to
that table, and prizes it now as
a relic that moLey couldn't touch.
Uncle Jimmy wears the badge
of Utah Indian War Veterans, "
which connects him with some
bits of historical string times.
And to sit and listen to his ex-
periences will establish the fact
that there lives in our section
one who has barred his breast to
danger on many and numerous
occasions that future generations
might live in peace and happl-
ness.
Going back to the days spent
as a Mormon missionary among
the Navajo and other Indians in
this section of Arizona, Uncle
Jimmy says that he is the last
and only living one of the COM
rades who worked with him.
He has been first and last all
along a long life of usefulness,
ever known for zeal for truth
fulness and square dealing among
his fellowman, honesty of pur-
pose in all things, faithful,
true and rugged western charac-
ter, the kind that blazed the
path for civilization in days that
tried mems souls.
Here's hoping, Uncle Jimmy,
that you may come to see us
often, and that each Pioneer
Day find you enjoying the same
blessings that has strengthened
and preserved your long and use
full life.

THE COMING GEN
GRAFTON OF BOYS

One of the most distressing facts
to be faced by sad nations of Eu-
rope after the war will be a dearth
of boys at the next stage to man.
hood. This draft upon extreme youth
abroad has been forced. In America
it can come about only as last and
most unlooked-for step in the face of
dire emergency. There is nothing
now in evidence calling boyhood to
the colors save the leaping desire of
youth itself; the aspiration to valiant
deeds which goes ever with
the spring of life; the force which
has made it true that thus far the
wars of the Republic have been boys
wars, though fought with the
strength and spirit of men.
The lure to the young of the pres
ent conflict is readily understood.
There is service abroad, to begin
with. To the budding mind that is
romance. There is again the sum-
mons of high service for the world.
That carries the suggestion Of such
chivalry as filled the ranks of the
old crusaders with juvenile knights.
To the youthful idealist, the glory
and gallantry, not the gas and ghast-
illness of the fight for democracy, fill
the frame.
To the boys of America, eager to
know what they shall do for the Ma
ton, Secretary Baker, Gen. Wood,
Secretary Daniels and others address
themselves through the current
American Boy. The voice of Gen.
Wood is as the voice of all: every
boy should finish his school course.
' The boys should remember
that they are now serving in the best
possible way by preparing them
selves to serve more efficiently when
the time comes"
Most probably, when the time
comes. the service will be that of
peace, which calls not less than war
for the work of trained hands and
minds. None of them need fear that
there will not be tasks that tax all
of his powers.-New York World.

1917 WHEAT EXPECTED
TO BRING MORE Than So
Report OF Food Committee Re-
commencing Price is Due
This Week.

Washington.-The price paid by
the Food Administration for the por-

probably will exceed So bushel, il
was learned recently. The commit
tee, headed by DR.. H. A. Garfield
which will recommend a price will
submit its report early next week.
In recommending price the COM
mittee, it was said, will take into
consideration the fact that the pro-
Queer must receive enough to slim
'ulate production next year, and at
the same time will consider careful
ly war conditions and the rights of
the consumer. In passing the Food
Control Bill Congress set an arbi-
trary price of 50 on the 1918 wheat
crop.
The hope of the Food Adminsitra-
ton is that the government price
fixed will obtain in all private trans
actions throughout the year, and it is
ready to buy up the entire crop for
if prices cannot be sta
bilized by the mere fixing of a Food
Administration price.

THE NECESSITY OF MILK IN
THE DIET OF CHILDREN

The Department of Home Eco
Monies of the University Of Ken
tuckv recently made some investiga-
tions in the matter of the use of milk
in the diet of Kentucky children. A
survey showed that of $4,000 Ken
lucky school children only four out
of ten had milk to drink for break
fast, and of 1898 children between
the ages of four and five only three
out of ten had milk to drink for
breakfast. The department points
out that for school children milk is
an absolutely necessary food and
any mother who does not use it to
fulfill the body need for food, is de-
nying her family one of the cheapest
and most nourishing foods which she
can purchase. The use of milk for
food among children is absolutely
fundamental. Milk has the essentials
for building materials and contains
the proper substances necessary for
growth and development of children
a COED rule is IN allow a quart of
milk day for each child.

HOOVER HAS SIX
RULES FOR ECONOMY

In an article in the September

ives Herbert Hoover's six rules fol-
God economy. They are:
"First-To save the wheat. If we

|ear we shall have little more than
nough for our own supply, but we
an divide with our allies if each in
ividual makes some sacrifice by eat
ng at least one wheatless meal a
lay.
"Sccond-We want TO save the
heat, for our cattle and hogs are de-
|reasing, and we must send meat to
|ur allies.
"Third-We wish to save the fats.
We wish no butter used in cooking,
ess served on the table; we want
ess lard, bacon and other pork pro-
|ucts used.
Observation-Disclosures in food sup
by can be amply covered by increas-
ing the use of fish, potatoes, beans,
urnips, cabbages and vegetables
Generally, corn, hpckwheat, rye and
ice, which we will have in abun-
lance this harvest.
"Fifth-We want to save trans
bortation. To meet the war bres-
ure for munitions, men and coal, ev-
ryone should consume products of
peal origin so far as possible.
"Sixth-We want all to preach the
gospel of the clean plate; to see
hat nothing of value goes into the
karbage can.
"Aside from eating an increased
Proportion of these commodities in
rider to save on the staples, it is ex-
remedy important that any surplus

erved or well stored for winter use."

MANY SOLDIERS FROM
NORTHERN STATES
Will See Cotton Growing For
The First Time While in
Mississippi.

Hattiesburg, Miss. Aug. rs, 1917
Soldiers of Kentucky. Indiana and
West Virginia. who will come to
Camp Shelby. will be in this section
during the harvesting of the great.
est corn crop in the history of Mis-.
sissippi, as careful estimates by ex.
perts place the yield at about 100,-
100000 bushels, or 100000 more
than the previous best yearly pro-
ductin record. The cotton crop in
Mississippi will be 80 per cent great
er than for several years, it being
estimated that 100000 bales will
be raised. The crop will be worth
approximately, with the seed. $780,
100000 as the seed will bring from
SIS to $85 a ton and the c5tton will
average $125 a bale, the largest
prices commanded since the Civil
War. With corn selling for more
than $500 bushel, one gains an
idea of the value of these two crops
in this State for 1917.
Many of the National Guardsmen
who are coming here from the north
and west will see cotton fields for the
first time. They have heard the song
"Picture, Tonight, FieIl of Snowy
White" perhaps, and whom they get
here they will view the fields some
late cotton in bloom, and the early
cotton with the bolls bursting open,
and the white cotton ready to be
picked. They will see cotton picking
scenes, and hear the southern dark
les singing folk lore songs, as they
proceed with their work.
Preparations to give the soldiers a
cordial welcome continue undated,
and different committees of citizens
are completing all their plans, which
have for their object making the
boys in kahki feel at home in this
southern community.
