presented him with venison, the
blessing of heaven, the fatness of
the land, and plenty of corn and

WAR DECLARATION BEST THING
SAYS HENRY FORD.

DETROIT. Oct. 1s.-Henry Ford
contributed $6,O00.O00 and the Ford
Motor company similar amount to
the Liberty loan today.
Ford's subscription was accompan-
led by statement declar:uE the
United States In making war on Ger
many. did the "bes. thing that ever
happened for the world"
Although there is not a man in the
world more opposed to war than
myself. I feel we must support our
government to the limit in this war.
because our president Is pledged to
abolish future wars as tar as pos
sible." said Ford in his statement.
It has been known for some time
that enemies Of the government
have been attempting to spread prop
aganda among workmen in Detroit
and elsewhere. to the effect that Ford
was opposed to the United States de-.
claring war on Germany. Ford's
statement and his latest war contri-
buttons are expected to crush these
activities.

LOAN WORK. %

In a proclamation soon to be issued.
Governor Thomas e. Campbell will
set aside Wednesday, October "a. as
Liberty Day In Arizona. and will
make the afternoon Of that day a
legal holiday in all counties Of the
state. This action Is to be taken for
the purpose of stimulating the sale Of
the second issue of United States
Liberty loan bonds, the half-holiday
being created in order to allow ell
persons to actively assist In further
ance of bond sale.
The proclamation will be issued In
keeping with a proclamation recently
issued by President Wilson. designat-
ing October "a as Liberty Day and
granting to all federal employees a
half holiday.
President Wilson's Jurisdiction in
the matter of creating holidays has
to do only with federal employees and
it therefore falls upon the governors
Of the various states to take like
action for all its state employees.
1t will be specified in the procla-
nation, however. that all persons
shall devote themselves in furthering
the sale of Liberty loan bonds on
this day. ~r

RELIEVED OF ASSESSMENT WORK
FOR YEARS 1917.'l8,

The senate joint resolution, eiimi-
mating assessment work on mining
claims during the years 1917 and
1918, passed the senate a few days
ago. and was signed by the president
on Monday of last week. making it a
law and effective at once.
The impression prevails In some
quarters that this relief Is afforded
only enlisted men holding mining
property. This is not SO. Such an
act would be class legislation. The
new law covers all mining claim
holders. 1t was passed, to be sure.
to protect enlisted and drafted SOL
iiers. to make more money available
Tor the purchase Of liberty bonds.
and to permit claim owners to give
whole time to producing companies
that there may be no shortage Of
mineral used In the manufacture Of
munitions.

THAT MISDEMEANOR CASE.

A m1sdemeanor case, that Of the
People vs. B. D. Film, was tried in
the local Justice court Thursday
afternoon. before a jury, resulting In
the acquittal Of the defendant. The
facts leading up to the case took
place about two or three weeks ago,
mention of which was made in The
Post at the time. and were Ia sub
stance as follows:
The defendant Film is manager Of
the Wesley Martin water works and
the complaining witness was water
patron. A dispute arose on collec-
ton day over the price, charged for
water. Hemphill claiming that the
defendant had over-charged him.
No satisfactory understanding could
be arrived at. 40 Film disconnected
the pipe in the street near the Hemp
hill home and shut of the water.
Hemphill. under that provision Of the
law which makes the cutting of a
water pipe without the owners con-
sent misdemeanor. had Film arrest
ed. The defendant. who was rep
resented by Attorney F. M. Hall de-
MED that he cut the pipe but un-
coupled the same. contending that he
had perfect right to do so, inas-
much as they could come to no under
standing In the premises that would
warrant a continuance of the water
service.
AS the case was about to be sub
mitted. His Honor. the local justice,
believing it to be his imperative
function to act in the dual capacity
Of Judge on the bench and prosecut-
ing attorney-a bit of procedure all
his own--doffed for the time the
judicial ermine, and. donning the
raiment Of barrister at the bar, made
an heroic appeal to the jury for the
conviction of the defendant; then.
resuming his seat on the bench and
adjusting his Juridical glasses. asked
for "fair and impartial verdict"
The jury brought in a verdict Of
acQuittal.

TOO MUCH WASTE.

The Arizona Food Conservation
committee has found that much
waste is known in food products on
the farm, where possibly rs per cent
of the produce Of the truck patches
and small orchards rot on the
ground. 1t is probable that plans
will be perfected before long under
which every bit Of food produced will
have provided a market, at some
price, even for the refuse that best
can be fed to hogs. Much fruit of
inferior quality Is left to fall from
the trees when 1t should be canned
or turned into bacon. There is al
together too large a margin between
the price received by the grower and
that paid by the consumer, much of
1t due to the present faulty system
of several landings and special de-
livery.

THE CAT CAME BACK"

A large Jordan automobile With
four people in it. the whole Weighing
no less than 1000 pounds. ran over
a ram cat down at the ferry landing
last Tuesday. and strange to say that
cat Is still alive and appearing none
the worse for its crushing experience
The feline belongs to J. E: Bush.
manager Of the ferry, and when 1t 1s
not otherwise engaged spends its
time sleeping, either on the boat or
on the landing. and is not very par
ticular just where 1t "hops" icr re-
pose. At this time 1t lay on the
ground In the gangway at the land
Ing place when the ferry boat. carry
ing auto and passengers, hove-to and
tied up to the shore. The chauffeur
started his machine over the gang
way but the cat paid no attention to
the proceeding until one Of the
wheels passed squarely over Its body.
Then it woke with a start OF aston
ishment. gathered itself up In a
hurry, and beat 1t for the brush.
When the auto was at safe distance
the cat came back with Cheshire
smile on its face.
While there may be more than
one way to kill cat." it's a cinch
that the automobile doesn't figure In
any one Of those ways.

DR., Darlington said he concurred in the
belief that the National Guard will soon
be reduced to minimum as result of
its border experience.
The New York division, which was sent
TO McAllen. Pharr and Mission. was badly
cared for on arrival at the border. DR..
Darlington said. There was o shortage
of water which continued so long that
the cavalry and artillery organization
had to drive wells at their own expense.
There were no bathing facilities for
weeks Part of the camp, he said, was
too level to be drained and q nearby
swamp pool was the source of a plague
of mosquitoes.
Another thing responsible for the low
cred vitality and disease was the mistak-
en- belief Of many officers, both regulars
and Guardsmen, he declared that heavy
exercise In the heat hardened the men.
He suggested that the army give more
study to the question of fatigue in Its
relation to health.
