BEHIND THE SCENES

To be the wife of hero Is hap
piness that every woman hopes some
day to know, and Olive Thomas
whose loveliness is unsurpassed on
the screen, declares that she already
knows the feeling.
For Olive Thomas is the wife Of
Jack Pickford, member of movie
lands royal family and one of the
most engaging of young movie matt
nee idols. Recently Jack enlisted
in the aviation branch of Uncle Sans
service.
"He will be as daring in the air as
he was popular in pictures" says

and all sorts of film fans agree. Jack

"Of course, feel pretty blue about
seeing him 60, but then I'm mighty
proud and pleased over it, too. He's
every bit as fine as he appears In
his pictures, and | guess most every
one has noticed how he can fight. He
isn't very big and he's never natural

he would be afraid to fight anybody,
no matter how much bigger, if he
thought he ought to. And when he
thought he ought to fight the Ger

so clever at anything he tries to do
But, of course, feel pretty blue
about his going away"
All of which rhapsody from so
lovely a wife should be enough to
inspire anybody If Jack Pickford

it won't be because he has lacked

CORN VS.. PORK
(By Hamlin Garland of The
Vigilantes.

| Vigilantes.l
If the war goes on las it seems
likely to do) we may come to DR..
Kellogg's way of thinking and cutout
the raising of pigs altogether. He es'
Inmates that it takes nearly ten
pounds of corn to make pound OF
pork, and that when we get the pork
we are worse off than if we had none.
This, suspect, is true, for I, Under
orders of my doctor, have had no
pork of any kind for three years.
kellogg is an extreme vegetarian,
of course, and his statements must be
read in the light Of that fact, and yet
he has logic on his side. Why con-
|t:nue to feed the most vital food Of
the human race to droves Of animals
whose flesh is admitted to be un-
wholesome to many people and with
out which all of US would be better
of?
Another curious reflection comes In
when discussing the raising of any
kind of flesh food. How much of the
corn or oats goes to supply energy
for exercise on the part Of the ami
NAL? Every time pig or steer takes
trot or a gallop around the yard q
considerable amount of food Is used
up in muscular action. This sounds
like a joke, but it isn't. it is serious
observation on the part of vegetari
ans.
The Germans, with their usual eff
cheney, have taken these matters in
hand. They have decreased the num-
Der of pigs not only to save food but
to preserve certain balance in the
ration. We may yet come to KEEL
logg's point of view and begin the re-
duction of pork raising to save corn,
retaining only enough pigs to act as
scavengers of the kitchen refuse.
This much we can do, we can feed
our hogs with care. | wonder how
many Western farmers still feed their
pigs as we used to do by throwing the
corn into the pen? At that time, with
corn at fifteen cents bushel, II
didn't matter how much was trampled
into the mire, but now the case is
different. We are careful to clean
our own plates, and yet I am not sure
that the farmers are making their
cattle feed go as far as 1t might by
careful rationing Animals used to be
overfed on our farm. Are they being
scientifically fed now?
Corn and wheat can win this war,
and when the final choice is made
pigs must go, cotton and wool be re-
Guced in amount, and cattle he raised
without exercise and in the most eco
nomical way.
AS | write these things | am sud
denly taken anew with the wonder OF
the changes that have come to this
America of ours. That we of dill ma
ticns of the world should be serious
ly considering how to conserve our
food supply, makes clearer than any
rother measure the appalling blight
which the war, with its destructive
agencies, has thrown over the entire
earth. 1t is incredible but it is true.
1t is not only true, it is becoming
each day more vital in our thinking.
How shall we feed the Allies, our
selves and the waves of the North
Sea?
We must double production. we
must save, and we must use with
scientific precision.

ARIZONA EASTERN TAX CASE

The board of supervisors at it's
last meeting paid the claim of the
Arizona Eastern Railroad Com
pany for the first installment of
the 1915 taxes, amounting to
So, 10000, and interest at 6 per
cent, as stated before in the COL
umns of this paper. This was
upon a judgment rendered by the
Supreme Court reversing the de-
cision of the Superior Court of
Graham County, The Supreme
Court held that sirce the board
of supervisors had levied a higher
rate in 1915 than they were
authorized to levy by law, and
since the railroad company had
paid their taxes under protest,
they were entitled to recover this
money back.
The company has brought suit
for the second installment Of tax-
es which they paid in April, 1916,
and under the decision of the Su-
preme Court the county would
have to pay this installment.
County Attorney Chambers
claims, however, that since the
Arizona Eastern Railroad Com.
pany failed to file a demand with
the board of supervisors for this
installment within six months
after they paid the taxes, that
they were not entitled to recover.
This case was argued before
Judge McAlister on March 18th
and is now awaiting his decision.
Both sides announce that the case
will be carried to the Supreme
Court no matter which way it is
decided,

with clearer heads for their stud
les and with a wider field of Wis.,
ion that did them good through
the term and that will help them
much in later years. R. J. Dagg,
of Yuma, writes that he consid-
ers the service something that
sustains the motto greater ef-
fciency," which our government
is bringing about through the
better training of each individ-
ual. both young and old.
Last years experience with
the boys on Arizona farms was a
big success. Most of the boys
are going back and every farmer
for whom they worked wants
them back. But the number
who thus serve their country
should be doubled.
Graham guardian., 1918-04-12
EVERY BOY MUST DO HIS PART

The boys of Arizona are being
mustered for the war-boys to
60 to the front and boys to back
them up. The latter are soldiers
Of the Nation. but they must
bear a hoe instead of a rifle and
must handle potatoes, fruit. corn
and cotton as an ammunition of
war just as important as bullets.
The State Council of Defense is
backing up the Boys Working
Reserve as something that should
be appreciated at full value by
the boys and by their parents.
Several thousand now are called
for, to enter the fields at the
close of school and to labor in
the places of their brave broth
ers who have marched away.
There is a hole to be filled that
the school boys must fill. If
they don't, crops will rot and
foodstuffs be ungathered that
are needed by the fighting men
and by the stricken millions of
patriotic homes abroad.
It is urged that parents stand
back Of their sons and them
selves appreciate that their boys
are actually helping to win the
war and are contributing toward
the saving of civilization. The
boys should understand that,
while they are drawing good
wages for the farm work, they
really are working for the Ma
tion, enlisting for war. Incl
dentally, they will be doing great
good to themselves. physically.

CURE FOR ALL DlSTEMPERS

A letter of greeting from Pres
ident Wilson to the Democratic
Editorial Association of Indiana,
at its recent meeting in Indian
apolis, contained these pertinent
sentences:
"The editors of the country
have a great responsibility at
present, the responsibility of
holding the attention of the
country steady to the truth. Ex-
traordinary efforts are being
made, ] am afraid, to mislead the
people with regard to the actual
facts Of the war administration,
and there is a peculiarly strong
effort being made to take the
direction of the war out of the
hands of the constitutional au-
thoritles.
THE best way to meet such
efforts and to neutralize unfair
opposition is to bring the actual
truth constantly to the attention
of the people. The things that
are wrong must and will be cor
rected, but the things that are
right must and will be main
tanned, and the cure for all dis
tempers is in every instance the
real facts. These | shall always
be rejoiced to have the people of
the country know, and | am sure
] can count on the loyal editors
of the country everywhere and
Of whatever party to put upon
these facts the true and just in
depreciation.
"A task of unparalleled magni-
tude and dignity is now imposed
upon the United States and |,
for one, have supreme confidence
in the wish and power of our
people to rise to the great op-
portunity."

reasonable actions within the
county and helping in military
preparations. The Production
Committee has the important
work of stimulating food pro-
duction and securing proper har-
vesting and marketing condi-
tions. Welfare Work deals es-
pecially with keeping close track
of all county men in the coun-
try's service and providing for
their dependents. at need. The
Finance Committee will have no
empty honor, for funds must be
provided for emergency work and
maintenance of headquarters.
Now, the work is being still
further subdivided into Com,
munity Councils on lines sug-
gested by President Wilson,
reaching into the school districts.
In agricultural districts, such as
the Salt River valley and the
Gila valley, their operations un-
doubtedly will be in cooperation
