BOYS IF AGE SINCE
 JUNE ], 1918, MUST
 REGISTER SEPT. A

Boys who have become 21 years of age within the past two and one half months, or since the last registration day, June ,, 1918, are called upon to register .on Saturday, August 24, ac- cording to orders which were received yesterday by Colonel Charles W. liar ris. adjutant general, and were sent immediately to the various local boards throughout the state.
 That this registration on August 24 of boys who just have become of age probably is for the purpose of filling up the camps and cantonments of the country, was the statement yesterday at the adjutant generals office. The registration on June of this year did not bring out sufficient men for Class l, 1t was stated, and therefore the call ing of the boys who have just turned 21 years.
 Registration on Saturday, August 24. will be at the office of the nearest local board, the orders state.
 The registration of June 5. this year. Of young men who had become of age since the first registration, June ,. 1917, brought out a total of about 1,5OO in Arizona, and it is estimated that the registration on August 24 will total 25O who have become of age since June ,, 1918
 As there is shortage of Class 1 men. it is very probable that those who register on August A will be called in short time. It has been explained that the probable reason for stopping voluntary enlistments in other branches of the service was because the men were needed to fill calls for the army. While no definite orders have been received, it is expected that the reg istration of all within the new draft age, IS to 45 years, will be held on September 5.

 MT. Leecraft reports that the road Via WicktNburg is almost impossible, and that the road to Skull Valley is en- tirely unpassable for automobiles be- cause it is so cut up by ore. wagons. On the latter road the party say it took them one hour to go a quarter of a mile, and two hours to get back.
 I advise every one to take the left hand road that is near a sign 'Loma Prieta Mine" said MT. Leecraft. This road is through a wash nine miles to Kirkland. and while rocky in places, is boulevard compared to the road to Skull Valley"
 Between Congress Junction and Wickenburg there are some badly washed -out places as well as bet~een Hot Springs Junction and New River

WALTER ]. BALLARD.
 WELL KNOWNHER
 DIES IN LOS ANGELES

At Los Angeles on Monday died Wal ter J. Ballard, aged 70, well known in PhoenlX, where a son once was man. ager of the Pacific Gas and Electric company The father in later years has been treasurer of the Phoenix Machine and Cold Storage company of this city and of the Los Angeles Fire Alarm company Five children survive, one of them Russell H. Ballard. vice. pres ident of the Southern California Edi- son company, very well known locally.
 Waiter Ballard was considered one or the country's greatest statistiCians maintaining an immense file of figures that appertained to every phase of American finance, commerce and in dustry. At all times he had personal knowledge and authentic information rom which to answer almost any question that could be asked concern ing matters of production or public in- come. Till very lately he was an edi- torial contributor to several eastern financial journals, while his statistical matter has been printed voluminously in such papers as the Los Angeles Times and New York Sun. He was deeply interested in all Arizona sub Jects and this state had a large place in his files.
 It Is notable in. American journalism that MT. Ballard was honored in 1908 in his decoration by the Emperor of Japan with the Order of the Rising sun. 1t happened that at time when the coast press seemed bent on plung- ing the country into war with Japan. the statistician produced an array of facts and figures and argument that balanced the war propaganda very eff tectlNely and that helned in a better American understanding of the situ- alton.
 He was native of London, England, son Of noted speaker and writer on economic subjects. As a young man, re went to Canada, in 1890 entered the employ Of the General Electric. com pany at Schenectady and in 19O6 joined his sons in Los Angeles.

WHERE CRITICISM HELPS.

Finding fault viciously i.s the worst trait a man can cultivate. Sincere criticism. on the other band, often begets good. For this reason, entire ly apart from any possible political aspects of the criticism to which the American war machine has been sub ;ect-h in the past few weeks, it is undeniable that administrative of ficials have been put on their guard to do the job well.
 One of the functions of a minority party is to keep the majority party in power "up to snuff" aus the man on the street would say. The Demo crats did that during the years of Republican rule, and now the Repub- licaaS do it while the Democrats are in power. To certain point such criticism helps the party in power and the country; but there is line. that should not be passed, especially in war time.
