A Lively Episode
A lively clash between Attorney Brown
and Governor Milliken ensued. Mr..
Brown offered State Auditor Wardwell as
witness and inquired OF him in regard
TO a certain letter written last october
in which the salary of Mr.. Brown as
fish and game commissioner was refused.
The question was excluded by the Gov
ernor. Mr. Brown pressed it and Mr..
Wardwen was told by the Governor not
TO answer. Mr.. Brown then read the let
ter IN question and the official stenog-
rapher was Instructed not TO take it. The
letter read By Mr.. Brown and not ac-
cepted as evidence was passed 10 the re-
porters and was as follows:

Mr. Brown then called attention to what
he claimed were certain erasures at the

STOCK LOSS FROM
 POISONOUS PLANTS

Phoenix, Sept. GA step of great importance to Arizona range stockmen is soon to be initiated. Great numbers of valuable livestock have been lost in this state from poison ous plants on the range.
 The Agricultural Extension Service of the University of Arizona has made arrange ments whereby MT. c. D. Harsh Physiologist in poisonous plant investigations, and Livestock Specialist G. w. Barnes will hold a series of public demon strations and meetings in north ern counties of the state in the month of September to point out the various species of pois- onous plants doing injury on the range and suggest methods of relief where there are prac- tical measures. This educa- tio1al campaign will be in con- tinuation of the work already advocated by Professor J. J. Thornber, Botanist, of the Uni versity of Arizona, who has from time to time made valua- ble suggestions to range stock men, on the subject.
 In the series of meetings planned for Arizona, each stockman attending the demon stration will be shown how to identify the injurious plants so he may detect them and take steps against them on his past ures, and about the watering holes on his range.
 County agents in the north ern counties will arrange these meetings for these federal and state authorities and make an- nouncements of their meetings so that all stockmen may at- tend.

THE PEOPLES BARGAIN

"The annual increase of our wealth is estimated to be fifty billions of dollars. The Ameri- can people are not asked to give anything to the govern ment, but merely to invest small percentage of the annual increment of wealth of this country and take in return from their government the strongest security on the face of the earth; to receive in return for the money lent 312 per cent per annum, both principal and interest exempted from all taxation except estate or in heritance taxes, and with the further provision that if the government should issue any other bonds during the period of this war at a higher rate of interest the purchaser of Lib erty Loan Bond may turn it in and get a new bond at the high CT rate of interest.
 '1n protecting the credit of the United States government you are protecting your own credit, you are protecting your own business, you are protect ing every interest you have in life and property. In doing that you are rendering a pat riotic service in supplying the sinews of war to your country '' William G. McAdoo, Secre- tary of the Treasury.

It was fortunate for Mayor Thompson, that no American blood had yet been shed in battle, in France, under the stars and stripes, at the time that he was hanged in effigy in the streets of Chicago. Had the report been circulated a. mong that crowd, that Ameri- cans had been killed on the bat tie front, the mayor might rave been hung in person.
