least price the buying price of every
one of their necessities including
farm implements, is soaring beyond
their reach.
We have regulated wheat and the
wheat grower but we haven't regulated
correspondingly the price of iron, and
steel, nor have we regulated their enor-
mously wealthy profiters. We have
only partly regulated copper. We have
not regulated oil, controlled by the
richest man in the world, and an
American citizen at that.
The wealth of these trusts and their
beneficiaries is so colossal that it is
beyond human comprehension. The
prices of their products in many in
stances exceed by fourteen times the
entire cost of their production. Their
war profits run into billions. They are
at the very top of the industrial heap
and the wheat grower at the very bot
tom. Yet we can least spare the
wheat grower whose profits we have
drafted, in many instances along with
his sons, whose labor is indispensable
to him.
Nor have We regulated the Southern
cotton grower. And no product of ac-
tual worldwide necessity has scared
as high as cotton. We haven't really
regulated anybody except the wheat

 VERY CHARMING LETTER
Washington, D. C., Jan. F, 1917. Col. B. F. Fly,

Washington, D. C., Jan. F, 1917. Col. B. F. Fly,
 Yuma, Ariz.
 My Dear Friend: This is to acknowl- edge receipt of a copy of the Arizona Sentinel which, I am delighted to learn, has passed into your able hands. Here's hoping you will make things hum, and that your efforts will meet with success-financially. The many heart-to-heart tall-s in your first issue carry an atmosphere" which invites and gains the confidence of its read CTS. It is distinctive style" and, while all important publications de- sire it, few attain it.
 Sometimes I wish I could return to the warm sunshine of Arizona; espe cially has this been the case during the past few weeks-since we have had so much snow and ice and drizzles. Of course one is never perfectly satis- fled (the persimmOns are always eas- fest to reach on the trees far away). The climate here is abominable. How, ever, the job I am holding is good and fine prospects ahead.
 Will you come on here to take in your friend Woodrow's inauguration? There will be big doings, according to the reports of the various chairmen of committees. This time the big in augural ball will be pulled off, and many veterans Gust back from the front) will parade. If you intend com ing, please let me know in advance and will lay in a supply of saur kraut and other distinctly Dutch supplies-anc a few Irish ones.
 Mrs Fertig joins me in wishing for you and The Sentinel a Happy and prosperous year, 1917.
 Fraternally yours,
 PAUL R. FERTIG.

WANT TO SALVAGE
 THE LOST AEROPLANE

Quite a number of intripid citizens of Yuma and Wellton are anxious to try to locate and salvage the Bishop Robertson aeroplane that almost lured them to their death. Before an at tempt is made along that line, how ever, it will be necessary to get gov ernment permission, else if they are caught with it in their possession they will be subject to heavy fine and imprisonment at the hands of Uncle Sab, who allows no one to have any of his belongings in their possession without authority.

ALL WILL MISS DIR. LEON JACOBS.

With the departure of Dr. Leon Jacobs, School and Agency Physician at Fort Yuma, to Nogales, Ariz., for ac- tive war duty the Indian service loses one of the most efficient doctors of that department. Dr. Jacobs has had charge of the medical work on Yuma reservation for more than four years and has made wonderful change in health conditions.
 Du ing the year 1911 there were 57 deaths out of about 800 Indians, the deaths being 36 more than births. A gradual change came till the last year there were 14 deatLs with 39 births. A first class hospital has been main tained where indians have come for treatment fer all diseases. The work done here has convinced most of the Indians that the old time "Medi inc Man." with his powerful touch, " strong breath" and incantations is worth just what it is worth. Many of the Indians have expressed their sor- row in the loss of their doctor friend.
 The work of the medical field must now be reorganized with Dr. R. R. Knotts in temporary charge.
 Dr. Jacobs is especially fitted for the work in the medical field of the of Lieutenant Jacobs holding a more responsible position in the future.

LIEUT.. .-COL. H. G. BISHOP
 IS SLOWLY RECOVERING

The rescued aviator, Col. H. G. Bish- op, who was so miracuously snatched from the jaws of death in the Sonora desert, is slowly recovering in the Yuma City Hospital. His feet are still troubling him badly and he may even lose one toe on his left foot, but withal he is getting along as nicely as could be expected, Surgeon Major O. G. Brown being greatly pleased at his miraculous recovery after his ten days hardships on the desert, half of the time without food or water. Colonel Bishops complete story, as printed in last weeks issue of the ARIZONA SENTINEL, was the sensation of the hour, being the only authentic account of his wanderings printed in any pa per in the United States. The Sen tinel was in such demand, because of the complete story relating to the search of the lost aviators, Colonel Bishops exclusive story, and the pub lication of the Yuma Mesa Land Law, that I was compelled to print a large number of extra copies, all of which goes to prove that the people know good thing when they see it.

IMPORTANT MEASURE
 SHOULD BE ENACTED
ARIZONA STATE SENATE (Third Legislature.)
 Phoenix, Jan. 26, 1917.

Phoenix, Jan 26, 1917. Col B. F. Fly,
 Yuma, Arizona.
 My Dear Colonel: I am enclosing herewith copy of Senate Bill No. 40, introduced by myself, in which I be lieve you will feel particular inter terest. The measure is designed to prohibit the circulation of anonymous literature respecting initiated or re ferred measures or amendments to the constitution. You will recall what a flood of the stuff swept over the state from whence no one could definitely tell-upon the occasion of the last campaign. No one should object to the receipt of serious arguments on any measure, or from any source, but the recipient should know from whom the argument comes, as 1 think you will agree, in order that he might better judge of its merit, and learn the inter- est of the one advancing the argument I shall be glad to hear from you on the subject.
 It will afford we pleasure to send you other senate bills from time to time whenever one is introduced in which you will likely have an inter- est, and 1 shall be glad to hea' from you at any time with such legislative suggestions as you may care to offer.
 Sincerely yours,
 MULFORD WINSOR.

Miss Bessie Bacon Goodrich of the Normal
school. The entertainment opened with
the recital of the story of Tanhauser by
Miss Elliot Several Photographic selec-
tons from the opera were played by way
OF illustration. Miss Morse then gave an
interesting talk on rural school teaching
experiences and set forth a number of re-
forms and reorganizations which should
be put thru for the betterment of our ru-
raj schools. The Grange was favored in

sioner of Education. He was invited to
offer few remarks and favored us with an
outline OF his ideas and plans for vocation
al and professional education especially in
the agricultural schools of the state.

STANDS BY U-BOAT WAR
GERMAN CHANCELLOR DECLARES
1T LAWFUL AND A SUCCESS.
America, as the Leading Neutral, Was
Expected to Protest Englands
Measures.

Copenhagen.-Dr Michaelis, tn
new Imperial German Chancellor, Il
! his address to the Reichstag declares
his adhesion to Germanys submaTin
campaign, asserting it to be a laWtu
measure, justifi~bly adopted and adap
ted for shortening the war.
DR.. Michaelis opened his Reichstal
speech with a heavy tribute to DR.
Won Bethmann Hollweg. the retiring
Imperial Chancellor, whose work, III
said, history would appreciate.
The Chancellor declared that the
war was forced upon unwilling Ger
many by the Russian mobilization, ano
that the Submarine warfare was also
forced upon Germany by Great Brit
aims illegal blockade starvation war.
The faint hope that America, at the
head of the neutraIs, would cheek
Great Britains illegality was vain
GeTmany's final attempt to avoid the
extremity by peace oHer failed, and
the submarine campaign was adopted
said the Chancellor.
The submarines, the speaker cont1n
ued had done all and more than had
been expected.
DR.. Michaels, in the course of his ad'
dress, said:
Bitter criticism has been directed
against a highly deserving man who
occupied this post before me. This
criticism has been oft inspired by en-
nifty and hate. l think it would have
been better if enmity and hate paused
behind closed doors. (Cheers.) When
the history of this war lies open before
us we shall all alike completely ap
preciate what Dr.. Won Bethmann Holt
wegs CHARACTERISTIC meant for the
enemy. (Cheers.)
Appointed Chancellor by the EN-
peror. have the honor for the first
time TO communicate with your high
House. a great weight has been laid
on my shoulders in a most grave time.
Trusting God and German might, ]
ventured to undertake it and shall
now serve the cause to the utmost OF
my power. l beg from you your trusty
cooperation in the spirit which has
been splendidly maintained il this
body during the war"
UNLESS l had believed firmly in the
Justice Of our cause l would not have
accepted office. We must keep before
our eyes daily the events of three
years ago, which are fixed in history
and which show we were forced into
the war by Russia's secret mobiliza'
ton, which was a great danger to Ger
many. To have participated in a con
ference while the mobilization pro
ceeded would have been political sui
eide" (Exclamations of quite right"
