Recent work has revealed the fact that American or home grown digi- tails Is as potent and valuable medi- cinally as any which we have hereto fore imported. Although digitalis is not cultivated in this country for com mercial purposes, 1t has escaped from gardens and is found growing luxur- iantly throughout Oregon and Wash in@t"n. It is impossible to estimate just what exteift digitalis is growing in these two states, but certain rough estimates would seem to indicate that there is sufficient to supply the en- tire need of this country. This being the case,s obviously such digitalis should be collected apd placed at the disposal of the government.
 That the need is great one is evi- denced by the fact that the National Research Council has requested sev- eral of the northern universities, not ably Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illi- nois, to cultivate as much digitalis as possible. The universities through their departments of pharmacy, are responding to the best of their ability, but due to the request coming late in the season, and secondly, to the dearth of seedlings it is unlikely that the emergency can be met in this way. The National Research Council is, therefore, calling the attention of the people of Oregon and Washington to this opportunity of contributing gratuitious service in the conservation of wild growing digitalis in those states.
 The plant yielding the drug digita- lis is known botanically as Digitalis

It is time the kitchen was taken in decorative hand Even if you are for tunate enough to have little servant in your home 1t makes the odds better for your keeping her If you have a color scheme that matches her aura or conventional pattern linoleum that appeals to her conventional soul
 If you have your own house then your super-kitchen has tiled walls, of course, and red tile floor. but even if you must struggle along in an apart ment with plaster walls and floors of wood, do not despair. Take your cour- age and paint brush we'll in hand, and when your walls have been done a ceruealean hue and the woodwork white enamel, then put blue and white linoleum on the floor and proceed to make sash curtains for the windows of bright blue and white check .ging- ! ham, with the checks of half-inch di- mensions. A pink geranium in a blue and white flower pot on the window ledge, a collection of white mixing bowls with bright blue band pots, pans and saucepans of bright blue enamel, blue and white scalloped oil cloth on the shelves the same pattern as the linoleum, an oval braided blue and white rag rug on the floor and Windsor chair, white enameled, and you have a blue and white kitchen de lux that would tempt most any cook to stay and break your blue and white crockery. Even blue Monday would fade to insignificance in such fasci- natingly blue and white confines.
 On the other hand, a yellow and white kitchen will bring the sunshine into the darkest Harlem flat. Paint the walls in sunshine yellow with the woodwork white, but then go a bit farther with your ochre tints and paint the stepladder chair, the table, the kitchen cabinet all in a golden glow, short only of the stove and sink.
 Yellow and white Japanese toweling makes quaint and appropriate sash curtains for the windows of the vel low kitchen and as a final finishing touch~either canary in willow cage may swing in the window or tortoise shell cat bask in the sunshiny glow of the table and chairs. Don't, how ever, feel you must go the limit and have both, as there would undoubted. ly be a clash and a jarring note U1ti-' mately, however. there is no doubt but that both cat and bird would blend beautifully together.

 DECORATOR

 With blue it's motive note. Because it matches up. you see,
 Patrolman Casey's coat.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 26. - When the busy little 1917 decorator got through with the library by hanking it in cloth of gold and carelessly tossing a black velvet cushion with gold tassels on the black and white marble floor, and defying anybody to find book in the place, he called it day and felt he had beautifully acquitted himself of Ia perfect home.
 He had overlooked, however the most vital of all in these days of the servant famine. A spot where the lady of the manor must needs spend most of her hours or erstwhile ease - the kitchen.
 A kitchen specialist was at once called in and when he had finished with the spot one simply had to plead with the lady of the manor to come out of the kitchen before she would tear herself away from the fascinating place.

Former Prescott
 Jurist Is Dead

Death claimed one of the pioneer residents of Arizona Saturday in the person of Judge E. M. Sanford. who for 34 years was a resident of Pres colt previous to coming to this city, says the Phoenix Gazette.
 He had been a resident of this State for nearly 36 years.
 The end came after long period of i'll health. For the past several days it was noted that his strength was rapidly failing and his death was expected at any time. The wife and son, Earl, were both at the death bed.
 Mir. Sanford was a native of New York State, but migrated West with his parents in early youth. The early years of his life were spent in Iowa and Kansas. He entered the journal istic field and during his spare time studied law He was admitted to the Kansas State bar at the age of 2 years. After practicing law in that State for ten years, he moved to Sil- yer City, N. AI, where he remained for short period. In 1881 he settled in Prescott, where he acted as attor- ney for the Atlantic & Pacific railway for about ten years.
 The deceased was 66 years old. Funeral announcement will be made later.

Militia Status Is Entirely Remoued
 By TheNewOrder
SOME UNITS READY ORDERED TO NATIONAL SERVICE WILL BE DE- LAYED so ALL CAN GO IN A BUNCH.
By Associated Press.


 WASHINGTON, July 9. - The last step necessary to make the entire national guard available for duty in France was taken by President Will son today with the issue of procla- nation drafting all State troops into the Federal army on August ,. To make certain that the purpose of the national defense act is carried out, the proclamation also specifically de- clares that the men to be drafted are to be discharged from their old militia status on that date.
 In that way the constitutional re- straint upon the use of State militia outside the country is avoided.
 Prior to the application of the draft the regiments of the Northern and Eastern sections of the country were called into Federal service as national guardsmen in two increments of July Is and 5. The operative date of the draft has been delayed until August , so all the regiments can be taken into the national army simultaneously.

 JEROME, July o-Ihstead of i'm proving, conditions in this district be came more chaotic today. Many min CTS were frankly buffaloed by l. w w. intimidation. Tonight the unior asked the United Verde to keep tho trail to the mine clear.
 There is a feeling of tension in the air A brush between miners and pickets at 4 o'clock may be only the forerunner of more serious encoun- ters between unioners and Wobblies The union members are becoming more fiery in their denunciation of the disturbers. There is some talk of going after the l. w. w. picket line with pickhandles and then cleaning ont their headquarters.
 The miners apparently need only a leader in order to start something.
 fingered at being called "scabs, the miners coming off shift at the United Verde this afternoon attacked and dispersed the I. W. w. picket lines with rocks. Knowing them selves to be outnumbered, the pickets ran like scared rabbits up among the residences of the United Verde off, cials.
 Serious trouble might have ensued had not officers with drawn revolvers halted the miners. No other guns were drawn Within ten minutes the picket line was re-established with 20 pickets instead Of 50.
 The first arrest of the strike occur, red about o'clock when Radi Gar Norich, a union miner, and Louis Ga rich, an I. w. w., fought on the picket line. Both were jailed. They are Austrians
 The United Verde has 70 per cent of its normal force at work and the United Verde Extension 65 per cent Superintendents of the smaller prop erties at a meeting this afternoon agreed to close down till conditions are stabilized. Ii is too difficult to leep full crews on, they say, as the men are inclined to spend most of the time discussing the strike instead of shoveling muck.
 There is some talk of organizing a workmen's loyalty league similar to the one at Bisbee among miners and citizens. Union officials tonight ex- pressed the opinion that all the mines will be working full blast within 4S hours. They say if only the road to the United Verde can be cleared of pickets, the battle against the l. w. W. will be won.
