The Winslow Bridge.

BY very elaborate and careful
mathematical deductions the edi-
tor has figured it out that if the
contractors, building the bridge
across the Little Colorado river,
continue at the same rate of
speed in their construction main
tanned during the past four
months, the bridge will be COM
pleted and open for traffic in
time for our people to go Ito Hol-
brook when their new railroad is
completed to the south.
1t is about time the board of
supervisors took some drastic
action with the contractors, Mes
mer & Rice, and either compel
them to push the work to COM
pletion in a reasonable time, or
take over the work and bring
suit against their bondsmen. 1t
is now nearly a year since the
contract was awarded, and the
work has progressed to the erec-
ton of one pier. At the best
Winslow got a dirty rotten deal
on the bridge at the time the
plans and specifications were
drawn, and the contract let, but
there is no just reason why the
supervisors should not force the
contractors to complete the
bridge, even though it will go out
with the first high water.

The Bisbee Situation.

After a month of lawless usur-
patton of authority, the "pariotic
loyalty league" at Bisbee has
been notified by Gov. Campbell
that their illegal activities must
cease at once or martial law will
be declared in the Warren dis
trict. He has written a letter to
the sheriff of Cochise county. re-
viewing all the conditions lead
ing up to the deportation of the
men on July 18th, and all the
illegal acts by the patriotic loyal
ty league subsequent, and he di-
rects the sheriff to see that the
laws of the state are hereafter
enforced, and the functions of
the legally constituted courts are
not longer usurped by mob force.
We are not unmindful of the
conditions that prompted the de-
portation of the |. w. w. agita-
tors and their following from the
Bisbee camp, and no doubt the
citizens were justified in their
summary action which had no
legal sanction, but there they
should have stopped, giving such
assistance to the sheriff there
after as was necessary to restore
law and order. Their actions
then would have had at least the
moral support of the people even
though they had transgressed
legal rights; but when they went
further and set aside the author
tiles and the courts, that minute
they forfeited all claim to good
citizenship, and a reign of anar-
chy prevailed. 1t has been per-
mitted already to long to run,
and the duty is now up to the
governor to act promptly and de-
cisively. 1t is no time to parley,
the good name of Arizona is at
stake, and Gov. Campbell is the
one man vested with power to
compel obedience to law.

Editor Takes a Joy Ride.

Last Sunday T. Niethammer,
H. H. Wingfeld, Leon Schmitz
and the editor took a tri o to Hol-
brook in Niethammer's automo-
bile. The first two gentlemen
were engaged in the superior
court making an American citi-
zen out of Schmitz, and the edi-
tor went down to see his friend
Scorse about buying a lot within
walking distance of the business
part of the town as he objects to
riding on the street cars. We
understood that w. H. Clark had
laid out all the land west of Hol-
brook to ST. Joseph, and the
Scores family had laid out the
land north to the Indian reser-
walton to accommodate the growth
of the city when the new railroad
is built, and we called on Editor
Braxton for a verification, but he
was out of his office in consulta-
tion with some capitalists arrang-
ing to move the Colorado river
two miles south of its present
location so it would not interfere
with the growth of the city. Its

Books for the Enlisted Men.

Mrs. Pauline NJ. O'Neill, of
the state council of defense. is
asking each of her county chair
men to become active in the cam
paign to furnish the enlisted men
at Douglas, Naco and Nogales

chairman of each county is given
a certain number of books to
provide which are sent to the state
council of defense in Phoenix.
The name of the giver is to be
written in the book in order that
proper acknowledgement may
be made of it's receipt. At the
headquarters of the council of
defense printed slips will be
placed in the books identifying it
with the volunteer movement on
the part of the women of the
state to furnish libraries for the
ten thousand enlisted men on the
Arizona Border.
According to the instructions
which Mrs. O'Neill is sending
out to her county chairmen the
books must be gathered by a GER
tain date, and she suggests that
each county chairman call for
volunteers among the ladies to
assist in gathering the books.
Shipments will not be made until
the complete quota for each
county is in the hands of the
chairman. They will then be
sent to the state council where
they will be prepared for ship
ment to the border.
In conjunction with this move
ment, all persons are asked to

Home Grown Seed.

Grow your own seed. Seed
raised some where else is not
nearly so well adapted to your
own local conditions as seed
grown from plants which you
have picked out as those which
produce the most and best yields
on your own land and under your
own home conditions. "
The farmer who selects his
own seed, SO as to harness up
heredity, assures himself a larger
yield and a better product with
out any greater expense for cul-
tivation, fertilization, or irriga-
ton. The mere look of seed is
not the real test-the question is,
did it come from a plant which
yielded large crop, excellent IN
quality.
The only plants fitted to be the
mothers of next years crop are
the plants which are the best
in the field or garden, strong,
healthy, and heavy-yielding.
Seed selection is particularly
easy in the case of Indian corn,
but it shuld be practiced also by
the farmers of Arizona for pota-
toes, grains, the annual forage
crops, and for all the vegetables.
The farmer who does not
select and grow his own seed is
neglecting a modern agricultural
method of tremendous import
ance.

Navajo County's Big Bean Crop

Secretary George H. Smalley,
of the state council of defense,
who is in the northern part of
the state looking after important
work connected with the council
of defense, reports that Navajo
county will ship 25 carloads of
beans if nothing happens to the
bean crop before harvest time.
This immense yield can be ap-
preciated when compared with
the yield of but three cars last
year from that county. The
farmers will receive a good price
for their beans and prosperity
will be extended to many farms
throughout the section.
The crop survey work in Nav
ajo and Apache counties is pro-
crossing rapidly, c. R. Fillerup,
farm advisor for those counties
being in charge. In Yavapai
county G. w. Sheerer, farm ad-
visor, is pushing the work, and

Red Cross Notes.

The question having been rails
ed as to whether the Red Cross
will assist in taking care of de-
pendant families of soldiers and
sailors called into service in this
War, Mr.. Henry P. Dawson,
Chairman, on behalf of the Red
Cross War Council, authorizes
tthe following:
Obviously the task of providing
for the financial assistance of the
families of our soldiers and sail.
ors is so large that the Govern
ment alone can assume it. In
no other way can the burden be
discharged fairly and as matter
of right rather than charity. No
volunteer organization, or organi-
cations, could adequately cope
with duty of such magnitude.
The American people will not,
of course, permit families to suf-
fer want because their bread
winners are fighting for their
country. Cases will undoubtedly
arise wherein the allowance of the
Government will not be adequate
to protect family from financial
distress. Such instances the Red
Cross will hope to provide for
through its Chapters.
The Red Cross Chapters can
and will provide also the friendly
services which may be needed
and acceptable because of i'll
health or other misfortune or be-
cause of family conditions, which,
if neglected, would result in need
and suffering or disaster to the
home.
That this work may be done
with thoroughness and uniformi-
ty, the Red Cross has published
"The Manual of Home Service"
for the guidance of Chapters.
This Civilian Relief work is un-
der the direction of w. Frank
Persons, Director General of
Civilian Relief.

JOHNSON TIES MARK
in Winning STREAK
Smoke Ball King Equals Record of
American League by Nine
Straight Victories.

Walter Johnson had won nine games
in row, and tied the best two-year
American League record of nine
straight wins, created in 1916 by Nick
Cullop, George Foster and Dave
Davenport, when Red Faber threw
a 4-to-1 defeat into Griff's big gun last
Saturday.
In winning nine straights johnson
allowed just nine earned runs. for an
average of one earned run per game ;
he also pitched two shut-outs-one of
eleven innings against the famous Ed
Gle Plank, now retired. this being one
Of the greatest pitching duels the
Gettysburg veteran ever engaged in,
and he has pitched in a great number.
JonnsCn beat Detroit three times,
Cleveland and st. Louis each twice,
and New York and Chicago one
each in running his winning streak up
to nine games. His low-hit games
were: one hit to Chicago. three hits to
Cleveland, four hits to Detroit. five hits
in eleven innings to st. Louis and a
six-hit affair to the Yankees.
Planks game against Johnson was
a fitting climax to the king of south
paws, as it was his last game pitched
in the American League.
The last time that Johnson won nine
straight games was in 1910. He also
won eight straight in 1914 and seven
games in a row in 1915.
