The astonishing discovery has been
made, during the rush for citizenship
papers which this war has oecasioned,
that hundreds Of uunaturalized aliens
have been sitting on juries and that
some of them have been voting at all
elections for years. AS far as voting
goes not a great deal of harm need be
considered to have been done. But the
discovery that aliens have been sitting
on juries is a different matter and may
result in costly and confusing litigation.
Already q number of hungry lawyers
in the big cities are nosing into the court
records with the hope of discovering
evidence which will justify them in
attempting to overturn important de-

Prices of a Former Generation

Oh, for those good old times Those times of the L. C. L., (not in the abbreviated language of the railway commissions, less than lots") but "the low cost of living" Maybe there was not so much money in circulation in those days but dollar then spread itself territory; in the speech of the war correspondents, it occupied terrain.
 According to a Missouri newspaper here are of the prices that prevailed in Illinois in December, 1s47 just seventy years ago: Flour s4.5O per cwt; wheat 65d70c corn, 15c; oats 15c; potatoes 25c; bacon and hams, Sc; sdemest Sc; shoulders 4a5c; butter, 12hc; cheese, Sc; lard 6c. There figures were taken but the previous week they had been in demand at 1912c. Flaxseed was 621ac and beeswax, 25c.
 These were all local products. The prices of cof- told different story in that period of the low cost of living and would have told the prices of many other articles the production, importation and transportation of which afterward so enlarged a1d systematized that they became much cheaper.
 Twenty years later, though, prices scared Wheat went above g and every thing else went up in pro- portion. In the seventies prices went down and for a generation thereafter, prices of the common qurements of life fluctuated only slightly along-a pretty low level Coffee could be bought at from cents pound upward and not very much upward. A fair quality of tea obtainable at thirty cents. Clothing, though through this period was higher than it is now.

PREPARING FUTURE CARNAGE

Just as we are familiar in modern discussions with the idea of mind which liberates itself from some small doctrina religion in the search for d larger and truer religion, like MT La Toilette in America Mir. Snowden in England are only abandoning the present limted war in order to find liberty and peace in the broad bosom of a larger, truer, more universal war to be sought like all good things in the future
 It is foolish indeed to such men of any failure in courage. From the colossal dimensions of the carnage which they prepare pacifist might almost shrink Nor is their wisdom less worthly proved than their valor for if the ideal pursued is that of and certain hope of the resurrection of war in Europe, it would be impossible to find better, among million expedients than the precise eXpedient they have chosen.
 It would be impossible so perfectly to combine all possible precautions against peace, by this one method of letting all the nations accumulate more and more aggravated motives for conquering Ger many; and then to cease firing suddenly, so as to convince Germany that she cannot be conquered- c. K. Chesterton in the North American Review

DEATH BELIEVED
 BUT MAT TER IF
 FEW HOURS NON

Gradually growing weaker, all hope for the recovery or D. W. Nickels was given up by his relatives last evening.
 Never once since Christmas morning when he was found unconscious by the side of his dead wife, has the physician in charge held out any hope of his even regaining consciousness although every effort was made. Blood transfusion was used as a last resort and in this connection it only became known yes terday that the man who offered his life's blood was stranger to MT. Nickels, a physician who chanced to be passing through Phoenix.
 Dr. Tarr of New York, here for a few days, was on his way to a social gathering Wednesday evening, when he learned of the case, immediately got in touch with Drs. Sweek, Brown and ConOver, the attending physicians. He offered to do his bit An additional blood transfusion was made yesterday morning, Dr. Tarr, who is in perfect physical condition. again volunteered his services. While MT. Nickels rallied 1 from the treatment he did not regain consciousness. He remained practically the same throughout the day and it was not until evening that his general con- dition became noticeably weakened.
 Should he die during the early morn ing hours the post mortum examination will not be held immediately after death. It will be daylight before the autopsy will be underway in the even MT. Nickels should pass away.
 No arrangements have been made fol the funeral of Mrs. Nickels, pending the outcome of her husbands illness.

WHEN HARRY LAUDER HEARD OF HIS SONS
 DEATH


 Harry Lauder tells in the January American him. He says:
 It New Years Day of 1916 that the to us of Johns death at the front was lying in be dat my home in London, resting for my per in the theater that afternoon, when all at once heard terrible cry from the front of the house. l stunned for moment and then my head began to swim because of the awful fear that clutched my heart.
 No! No! Nor cried to myself propping my self up in bed. God couldn't be cruel He simply couldn't take my boy"
 But when my wife's face knew / She standing in the doorway, her agony reflected in her eyes, holding out the telegram Some how she crossed to my bed and sobbing her heart out as she gave the printed message, she rested her head against mine and cried out her and her pain, while with eyes blinded with and heart suddenly struck numb, read the fateful tele egram which informed that Captain John Lauder, of the Argyle Sutherland Highanders had been killed in action the 2Sth of December 1915.
 What are we going to do now?' cried to my wife after a moment. What are we going to do now?"
 For days burned my brain with sckaing, de- spairing thoughts, and asked of what use indeed were all my abors all my toll during all these years At times. the raging agony at the realization of my loss almost too much. At times too, during those first days, I almost questioned the justice and wis dom of a God who would allow such thing to happen.

N0EMbARG0ON HAY BUT SHOULD
 NUT bE SHIPPED

Contrary to the general impression that has gone forth there is no em- oargo on hay to points outside of Ari- zona. The matter was explained at the office of the federal food admins trator for Arizona today with the statement that a patriotic appeal had been issued a few days ago to all dealers irr hay being shipped outside the borders of the state except for gov ernment use.
 This appeal" says the statement was based on the recommendations of the stockmen who met in conference Tn Phoenix about the first of Decem- Der and upon the representations of the livestock sanitary board that a serious situation confronted the stock | interests of the state owing to pro- lonsed drouth in certain sections.
 And while the food administration is just as anxious as ever to see as 1 much hay. milo maize and cottonseed ] products kept in the state as possible ! for the use of Arizona cattle and sheep. there is no desire or aim to interfere with competition or to demoralize the hay market.
 Tt was for this very reason that an appeal was issued rather than an em- bargo imposed. This will permit those farmers who have entered into con- tracts for the sale of their hay outside the state, to dispose of the same as originally planned, but favoring Ari- zona feeders.
 Tn one or two instances railroad agents in their zeal to back up the food administration in it's ambition to confine as much as possible the use of Arizona feeds to Arizona stock have gone so far as to refuse shipments of hay on the grounds that an embargo had been placed, but this is not au- | thoriZed."

bets are forcible. the most forcible eN- pressions of beliefs. purposes and eX- pectations. Such expressions are neces- sarily sincere except in the cases or such wagers as are technically known as "jawbone bets.' It was the inten- ton, we think, of these bettors to bet on the result of the election. The bet was the expression of the heated belief of each bettor that his favorite candi- date would receive a greater number of votes than his opponent. The official returns disclosed that Campbell re- ceived 30 more votes than Hunt and the supreme court pronounced him gov ernor de facto with all the powers and everything pertaining to the office ex- cept the salary. The courts which
 have since had to do with the case have so involved it in doubt that we are to use nautical expression wholly at sea.
 It is therefore the judgment of this
 court that neither bettor take from the
 stakeholder a sum of money in excess
 of that which he deposited with that
 functionary, and that each bettor be
 mulcted in the sum of the interest that would have accrued on the sum so de- posted by him.
 Opinion by the Editor. Concurring, by the Sporting Editor. Dissenting:
 In view of the fact that Campbell has been recognized for one year as governor. and having for that period discharged the duties of governor, the l Campbell bettor is entitled to and | should receive the total sum deposited | by both bettors with the stakeholder The Rest of the Staff.

CHICAGO CITIZENS ACT MATERIAL

Jack Lait has written an article for the January American Magazine about Chicago, and he says:
 There is more milk and less lip rouge sold in the Lake Michigan port than any other place 1 know of-more milk than in New York and Boston put together and less lip rouge than in Paris and London puttogetner. The principal cosmetics firm of Amer ica has no branch office in Chicago The women have natural compexions, put there by the Chris tian clements. They don't dress as smartly as San Francisco women nor gaudily New York ladies. They don't have to- They have hair and eyes and things to make them attractive They look just good when they get wet too.
 That gives you taste of Chicago atmosphere Things out here are pretty much God made them We don't frou-frou women, put ice cream on our pie dash absinthe in drinks

"QUlTE ORDINARY CHAPS"

Wars queer game-not at all what ones civilian mind imagined it's far>more horrible and less excit ing The horrors which the civilian mind dreads most mutiation and death Out here rarely think about them the thing which wears most and calls out his gravest courage is the endless quence of physical discomfort. Not to be able to wash not to be able to sleep to have to be wet and cold for long periods stretch to find mud your person. in your food, to have stand in mud, mud sleep in mud and to continue to smile that's what tests courage. Our chaps splendid. They're not the hair-brained idiots that correspondents depict from day to day. They're perfectly people who know to fraction what they're up against but who carry on> with grim good nature and a determination to win with smile. never before appreciated as do today the latent capacity for big hearted endurance that is in the heart of every man. Here apparently quite dinary chaps-chaps who washed liked theateIs, loved kiddies and sweethearts had for life
 they're bankrupt of all pleasures except the supreme pleasure of knowing that they're doing the ordinary and finest thing of which they capable. There are millions to whom the mere consciousness of doing their duty has brought heretofore unexpected peace of mind-From Carry On,' by Lieut. Coninss- by Dawson John Lane).

BOOMING HOUSE 1T
 CHANDLER BURNED

CHANDLER, Dec. 27.-An accident which nearly resulted in loss of life as well as of property occurred when the rooming house belonging to Mrs John Derrick burned to the ground yesterday morning. The fire started about g o'clock in the morning in the apart ment occupied by Rolly Butterfield and family, it's origin is unknown. but it IS supposed to have started from an oil heater used in the bedroom Mrs. Butterfield was in another part of the building at the time but smelling the smoke, rushed into the room Here she tainted and had to be carried from tine building.
 The fire spread very rapidly and in lew minutes the whole building was in flames. So quickly did It spread that the occupants were lucky to es- cape with their lives Almost no per sonal property was saved
 The great heat Of the burning build ing set fire to the residence of John Derrick to the east, but good work on the part of the volunteer fire company saved it from being consumed. A Ford car belonging to the Maricopa Cream cry company also caught fire. The fire was put out after the top and seat of the machine had been burned.
 All of the insurance books, belong ing to J. l.. Entrekin, the real estate and insurance man, were lost. The books represented the policies from eight insurance companies, and the policy of the house itself, which wa insured for S1,500, was burned with the books.
