.LIGHTKEEPERS
 SEEK RAISE
Lowest-Paid Service by Government Has Not Been Advanced
 for Years

Lighthouse keepers along the Pa cifc Coast including the coast of All aska petitioned Congress to raise the schedule of pay of all lighthouse keep CTS and their assistants, owing to the high cost of living. They contend that the wages they receive were fixed by Congress many years ago and that while living has constantly advanced, their pay has remained stationary, un- til point has been reached where the positions are no longer attractive.
 The average pay of lighthouse keep CTS is about $50 a month or $500 a year. The keepers have sent peti- tion to Congress asking that general advance be granted as soon as pos sible.
 As the safety of travellers along the Coast and in Alaska depends on the efficiency of the lighthouse keepers, they have asked the genral public to take an interest in their request for an increase in pay.
 United States Senator James D. Phelan, of California, has become the champion of the lighthouse keepers in

MINER CELEBRATES THE
 ARRIVAL OF AN HEIR

FAIRBANKS, Aug. IA, (By MaiD. It is rarely that young hopeful re- ceives the demonstration that was ac- corded Louis Husdale, Jr., when he reached the scene of his fathers min ing operations on Little Eldorado one morning last week, according to re- ports from the creek. But the little man himself, born during the winter on the Outside and brought in over the trail by his mother recently, stood the racket well.
 On the other hand, some of the neighbors who heard the noise which was going on were certain that noth- ing short of big cave-in of mine had caused it all. Consequently, when the whistle at the Husdale plant on No. 2 above, Little Eldorado, blew for solid two hours, they came from all directions. The quartz miners at the head of Little Eldorado and Cleary, as well as all of the placer miners on the upper end of Little Eldorado, has tened to the scene in response to the continued tootings of the whistle, to discover that the tootings were caus- ed by the arrival on the creek and within the sight of the proud parent provider, of the son of the-family.
 But regardless of the reasons for the noise, all of those who came ex- pecting to do nothing short of help dig out entombed miners, stayed to help "Pa" Husdale celebrate the ar- rival of his son and heir to be.

NOME IS FOR

 Friends

NOME, Aug. 16, (By MaiD.-NOme citizens in all walks of life, including bankers, professional men, clergymen of various denominations, mine oper- atorS and citizens generally, have sent endorsements of Philip Corrigan as to character and efficiency for appoint ment as United States Marshal for the Second Division.
 Corrigan was a member of the late House of Representatives. He was one of three men endorsed for the posi- tion of United States Marshal by the Democratic Division committee, the other two being Representative J. P. Daly and Paul KegSted The under standing was that the National Com mitteeman should endorse whichever one of the three that it was found had the strongest backing in the East. Senator J. D. Phelan, of California, Senators Marcus A. Smith and H. F. AShhurSt of Arizona, Secretary of the Interior Lane and others were discov- cred to be strong supporters of Rep reSentative Corrigan, and National Committeeman T. J. Donohoe gave him the endorsement.

CHASING THEM
 INTO FLATS
Folks Find Cost of Food at Hotels Way Up, So Take to Light
 Housekeeping

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Aug. 15, (By MaiD.-The demand in this city for flats and apartments has steadily been increasing due to the war and the resulting high prices. of foodstuffS Apartment owners account for this by reason of the fact that persons who have been living in hotels and eating their meals in restaurants find they can live more economical!y / where they can do light housekeeping.
 The apartment with the kitchenette is being sought, as it provides the ia cilities for preparing the relatively easily prepared ham and eggs and cOf- fee for breakfast and the light noon luncheon. With two meals thus pro vided for, the restaurant may still continue to retain trade of those who do not care to enter into all the de- tails of cooking a regular dinner at night.
 The experience of those in search of apartments at a moderate rental confirms this view. While there are plenty of more expensive establish ments to be found, the less costly quarters rapidly are being occupied and the hunt for a home has assumed the proportions of a considerable task.

BLIND HELPER OF BLINDED SOLDIERS
 MAKES TOUR BATTLE-TORN FRANCE

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE, July 6, (Staff Correspond ence of The AsSpciated Press Blind himself, and head of the British Ma tional Institute devoted principally to men blinded in the war, Sir. c. Arthur Pearson, of London, was recently a most interesting visitor at the British front. His enthusiasm for all he "saw" was unbounded, and he declar- ed he would take back to the sight less men at home new words of en- couragement as to how "their" army was carrying on.
 Sir Arthur climbed the Vimy Ridge, and to his great delight some German shells broke so close they splaShed him with mud and the party had to take temporary refuge in a dug-out.
 "A man doesn't have to see to know when to duck, does he?" laughed Sir Arthur in relating the incident that night. "I also fnd," he added, "that it doesn't take long to know when they are going and when they are com ing"
 "Our shells" he said, "go with bang and whiz; the Germans come over with whiz and a bang. It all depends upon the position of the whiz."
 Sir Arthur was deeply impressed by the work of the guns. He remained with some of the batteries for long time and listened to their noisy nut terings with a keen appreciation of all that was going on about him. He was particularly delighted to hear above the reverberating echoes the songs of the larkS-alwayS to be re- membered by the soldiers on this front as their ever-cheerful companions of trench and battle fields.
 Trudging over some of the older battle fields of the Somme, walking through the trenches, and standing in the higher places where the panorama of battle spread below him, Sir Ar thur drank in the atmosphere of the war-the meaning of it all. He "Saw' the tanks" in repose and heard them at drill, he stood outside prison cage and viSualized the round-capped Ger mans within the barbed wire barriers. He asked a guard if any of the pris- oners ever attempted to escape.
 Escape, Sir?" replied the old ser geant. "Why, sir, you couldn't drive 'em away; they like being prisoners, sir, they does."
 The ruined cities of the SOmme, Ba- paume and Peronne, affected Sir Ar thur deeply.
 q wish the whole world-all but the Germans who already know what they have done-could come and stand in the grand squares of these cities as l did today" he exclaimed, "and see and feel the desolation and the wanton destruction. They are ghost like, these cities of the dead. l know them on motor trips in other days, when they were alive and could see, and could picture the scene today as if I were looking at a painting, The Germans will find, however, the day of reckoning is near at hand. l shall

Campbell Corn New
Forage Plant
MiramOnte Man Discovers
New Improved Variety

A farmer, Vim. Campbell, living
on the mesa. has developed a new
grain and forage plant which gives
promise of being a winner. It is
the result of the hybridization of
feterita and milo maize, being in
appearance somewhat similar to
each, yet different from either. A
sample shown consists of two main
stalks and a half dozen smaller
ones all produced, according to
friend of Mr.. Campbell's, from a
single grain of seed. On these
stalks were counted twenty one
heads of the new variety of grain
One head would make four ordi-
nary heads of feterita, which was
the seed from which the new vari
ETY. originated. The grains are,
somewhat larger than those of ordi-
nary milo and are neither white
like feterita nor as reddish as milo
maize, but are more of reddish
amber color. One head weighed
sixteen ounces. 1t is estimated
that the grain, producing like the
sample would go ninety or hun
dred bushels to the acre.
The new grain forage plant,
which for lack of a better name
may be called Campbell corn, is
said to be drought proof, hail proof
and grasshopper proof. 1t was
raised on Mr.. Campbell S place near
Miramonte, about ten miles from
Benson. by dry farming methods,
and withstood both the dry spell
and the severe hail storm of the
past season. Campbell corn
would seem to be suitable name,
on account of its originator and
after the great exponent of dry
farming bearing the same name. If
the plant persists " in its present
form as hoped for, it may prove
wonderful crop producer on our
non-irrigated lands.
Mr.. Campbell will give the new
grain plant thorough tryout and
his success may mean that the
ideal crop has been found for south
ern Arizona.
