TWENTY TEMPE YOUNG MEN ID
 GO ID BORDER
Especial to The RepubIicanl

TEMPE, April 2S.-Twenty young men of the Tempe Normal yesterday pledged their support to their country, and if present plans carry out, they will be on their way tomorrow night to join Company c of Tempe with the First Arizona Infantry at Naco The Normal school cadet company, which has been on it's annual encampment for the past week. just returning to Tempe this afternoon, was visited in camp yesterday by Governor Thomas E. Campbell, Adjutant General Harris and Captain Oscar Temple, and during the course of short talks given by the three executives, twenty of the cadets gave their consent to go at once to the border and join the regulars.
 The names of the twenty young men have been taken by First Sergeant Houston of the cadets and Captain Temple will be in Tempe Monday to sign them up. An effort is being made to secure the presence of the captain at the chapel Monday morning when the students hold their weekly assem- bly,, and in that case many more of the fellows will no doubt be induced to join the. regulars. Those who do sign up are expected to leave for the border Tuesday night.
 Of the twenty who have promised to sign, four are members of the senior class, and in accordance with a recent announcement by Dr. Matthews they will be granted their diplomas of grad uatiOn from the school. The other boys going will be given their credits for a completion of the work this term.

under it. I wish to see us owe our
 safety to our own strength and our own courage and to the respect we in
 spire in our foe. We shall inspire no
 respect if we merely try to parry that
 foes blows and not to return them. The only way in which we can return
 them is by immediately sending an
 expeditionary force to fight in Europe.
 It would be a scandal and a shame if
 the war ended now without part in it
 limited to having furnished dollars
 behind the shield of other mems bodies. We are in the war. Let us fight it through ourselves, with our own strength and courage, to a trium- phant conclusion.
 This is the appeal I make especially to the 'men and women of the west. do not merely ask you to go to the :, front, you men of the west; or to cheer your men when they go, you women.
 I also ask you to see that 1 am given I the high privilege of making my words
 good by my deeds and going to the front with you. 1 have asked leave to 1 be allowed to raise a division to take

hardly a house in Hastings not touched by the tragedy. Children cry un ashamed in their front yards, knowing or fearing their fathers are dead. One little girl cried over and over again, T want my papa" as she sat on the fence of her home weeping heart brokenly. A few sightseers have mo- tored in to view the scene Of the tragedy.
 Pathetic scenes are enacted when ever a body is brought to the morgue. One young Mexican woman bore up bravely as she climbed the hill to hear the worst, but nearly collapsed in the arms of relatives at the top, wailing in the way peculiar to the women of her race. Even rescue men who have been through mine disasters turn away quietly or show a suspicious moisture about the eyes when these incidents take place.
 The scene inside the morgue beggars description. On both tables in corners and in spaces by the machinery there are bodies in rows more or less pre- pared for funeral. On the floor at in- tervals are bodies brought from under ground. Burly negroes strip these of clothing, cutting and tearing the gar ments in their haste. Burlap or the canvas used for brattices forms the temporary shrouds of the dead
 Almost as pathetic as the scenes at the mOrtuary were seen enacted in the mine office. There a clerk spent a good part of his time answering in quiries from those who wanted to know whether such and such a man was in the mine. Many of them brought in terpreters to get the information and translate it into their native tongues as inquiry after inquiry made a search of the list of entombed men following which the clerk would shake his head. Most of them took the sad news stoically. One or two asked, "IS he inside? The answer in the affirmative generally set them walking slowly away. Among the women crowding about the morgue was a Slovenian who, according to persons understanding that language, was alternately praying that her husband might come from the mine alive and cursing the "Ameri- cans for killing him. The woman kept her hands clasped in an attitude of supplication while pronouncing the supposed curses. Another woman re- fused to stay more than an hour with | friends, repeating, T must go to the mine. My Matt-he there."
 J. P. Bradley, coroner of Las Animas county, in whose jurisdiction the acci- dent comes, announced tonight he would not set a date for the inques, until all bodies had been brought from the mine and it was clear of gas or obstruction so he could make a per sonal investigation of alf phases of the accident. Two negroes, Lon Swofforo and w. =. Price, tonight called or company officials and begged to bt

 mine early tomorrow. They are sho

 Price said, We just got to go dowr into that mine"
 A fresh crew of rescuers entered thu
 mine at 7:15 tonight with the avoWeC 1 intention of penetrating to the siXtl north entry, 1000 feet farther than any of the other rescuers have gone, in al
 effort to find any possible survivors
 The result of the incursion is not eX

 Chairman
 In an appeal addressed to the people of Arizona, Mrs. O'Neill calls attention to the letter of Dr. Looney and makes suggestions whereby his work may be materially assisted. Mrs. O'Neil IS ready to devote whatever time the work may require in securing the in1 formation desired as indicated by her apepal, which reads as follows:

 The reports that the mine was afire and that there had been no explosion now reversed, are explained by mine officials, as due to the fact that no shock as from an explosion was felt and that considerable smoke and gas now assumed to be from the explosion poured from the mine mouth for some time
 There are MeXicans, Austrians Italians, Americans and scattering of other races employed in the mine The crowds talk necessarily in half a dozen | languages. The result is almost babble The appropriate question tonight tC ask any miner who looks as though he might be experienced is: Have you been inside?" Most of them have been i but cannot give any connected idea oi the situation. Many of them have rela- i tives among the trapped and seen dazed by the shock.

THE POTATO Sob IS
NOT HARD To CONTROL
Crop Rotation, Clean Fertilizer, and
Treatment of Seed Are Effec-
tive Measures.

Among the troubles with which the
grower of Irish potatoes has to con-
tend is the disease commonly known
as potato scab. This disease affects
the tubers themselves, and not only
makes the potatoes unsightly but de-
creases the yield.
The. potato scab is not a difficult
disease to control. and an expenditure
Of few cents and few hours time
previous to planting the seed will
practically make certain that the crop
will be free of this disease. In order
to accomplish this, three things must
be considered.
% Practice Crop Rotation. Pota-
toes should not be grown in a field
that produced crop of scabby pota-
toes the previous year. In some sec
lions OF the country the disease will
live over from one year to the next in
the soil To avoid possible infection
from the soil it is always best to 20
tate the crops. After field has grown
potatoes for one year. it should be
planted in other crops for a couple OF
years until any Of the scab infection
that may have been present in the
soil has had sufficient time to be
killed.
(2) Do Not Use Infected Fertilizer.
It sometimes happens that when 4
grower has scabby potatoes he feeds
them to his stock. Many OF the po-
tatoes will become mixed with the ma
nure and later find their way back
to the fields. II potatoes are planted
on land on which this manure has
been spread, a diseased crop is very
likely to be the result Only fertiliz-
er should be used that is known to
be free of any infection.
(3) Treat All Potatoes With For
maldehyde Before Planting. The
greatest source Of infection comes
from the seed that is used for plant
ing. The disease remains alive in the
scabby spots on the tubers, and conse-
quently il scabby potatoes are used
for planting without treatment, it s
more than likely that scabby crop
will develop. A large part of the seed
sold in this state are more or less az
fected with the scab disease. In q
number of instances that have come
to our attention, potatoes have been
shipped here for planting that were
20 badly affected with the scab that
they would not have been salable for
eating purposes. 1t is probably i'm
possible to buy seed and be absolutely
sure that no scab is present, but it is
possible to buy seed that do not have
an excessive amount Of the disease.
II only a small amount Of scab 10
present on potatoes 1t can be largely
removd by treating them with a for
maldehyde (formalin) solution. II Is
always best to give seed potatoes this
treatment whether any scab is visible
or not, az a small amount Of the dis
ease is likely to be overlooked The
formaldehyde can be obtained at al
most any drug store. II can usually
be obtained in sealed pound bottles at
a very moderate cost. II should be
guaranteed to contain from 81 per cent
to 40 per cent pure formahn The So
luton to be used in treating the DO
tatoes is made by mixing one pint Of
the commercial formaldehyde with 30
gallons OF water-C. W. Edgerton, Elk.
