Gov. Hunt is one man in the
state house whose conduct when
he goes abroad as the representa-
tive of the state never brings
discredit and humiliation to the
people. He has some hobbies
and political theories that some
times brings criticism on his
head, but there is no yellow
streak in his moral fiber. He
was raised in the good old school
that a clean reputation was a
mans best asset, and he lives up
to his early teachings.

The Elks lodge at Phoenix, at
a recent meeting, passed resolu-
tions deploring the fact that cer-
tain newspapers were exploiting
the San Diego incident wherein
three state officials were mixed
up in a drunken orgie with sew
eral Arizona soldier boys, be-
cause such indiscretions on the
part of the young soldiers should
be overlooked, and request that
newspapers desist from further
mention of the incident. The
brethren have the wrong view
point. No newspaper we have
seen placed any censure on the
soldier boys for being led into a
lapse of regulations, but all the
censure attaches to the three
state officials who betrayed the
confidence of the people of the
state in debauching our soldier
boys. when presumably on a mis-
sion to look after their comfort
and welfare. A Hun spy would
not have done worse. It would
have been more fitting if that
Elks lodge had condemned the
real offenders and given their
names publicity, even though
their names were on the lodge
roll as members, rather than at
tempt to whitewash them by a
pretense of protecting the unfor-
nate soldier boys by requesting
the incident be forgotten. 1t
may be forgotten by the politi-
clans, but it will never be for
gotten by the parents of the five
thousand boys who have been
called to service, and the three
offenders will realize it when
they come before the voters this
fall as candidates.

The editor cannot please Mr..
Braxton of the Holbrook News,
no matter how hard we try. Re-
Gently we had a conversation
with c. Fl. Jordan, of Holbrook,
concerning the oil prospects, at
which time Mr.. Jordan said the
citizens of that town were not
going to permit a lot of promoters
in there to organize companies to
go out and fleece the public; that
the citizens had the money to do
the prospecting, and had con-
fidence enough to put it in. This
was such radical departure
from the usually accepted plans
to swindle the public in alleged
oil fields that we gave it publicity
as rejecting the honesty of the
citizens of the county seat. But
Mr.. Braxton takes serious excep-
tion to our remarks, and we
gather from his editorial that he
wants wildcat companies in un-
limited number to come into the
field and incorporate, and then
go out and gull the public into
buying worthless stock when no
oil is in sight or even the pros
pect. Of course we can under
stand that Mr.. Braxton would
have the chance to draw down
some snug fees for publishing
articles of incorporation for the
wild caters, but far be it from
us to charge such mercenary mo-
tives to that gentleman. He
probably just takes his strange
attitude to harass the Winslow
Mail, and cause us further dis
tress because we cannot win his
good opinion.

The Picto Bean.

The railroads are boosting pinto
beans as an Arizona food crop,
cooperating with the United
States food administration which
started a movement in that d.
rection lately by taking over
more than 900 carloads of pintos
for the eastern markets, paying
the growers eight cents a pound.
Heretofore pinto beans have been
a drug on the market, except in
Arizona and other southwestern
states where they grow, for
want of an introduction. Now
the pinto can be found on the
menu of every well-managed
restaurant.
H. M. Bainer of Topeka, in
dustrial and agricultural agent
of the Santa Fe, recently
loaned" to the the food admin
istration, has prepared a bulletin
about growing and handling pin
to beans, which will be distrib-
uted free through the local
banks.
The bean division of the food
administration at Denver has ar
ranged to sell pinto bean seed to
growers at cost-$8.80 a hundred
plus freight charges. 1t is
suggested by the food admin
stration that growers place their
orders for seed through tn e
county agricultural agent. The
seed will be shipped from storage
houses located in various parts of
the bean area, but orders must
be placed through the Denver
head quarters.

The national news censor at
Washington might we'll employ
some of his time looking up the
origination of the rank canards
sent over the Western Union
lines, purporting to come from
the associated press, dealing with
the battle raging on the west
front. The author of such SEN
sational falsehoods may have
thought it was a great joke to
play on people who were anxious
ly awaiting news from the front,
but a few more jokes like that
and the people will begin to con-
slider the whole war joke, and
their zeal to make sacrifices to
aid the country will cool con-
siderably. The party who put
those fake stories on the wire as
news should be ferreted out, and
if he is employed by the associ-
ated press, or the telegraph COM
pany, he should be forced from
his position until the close of the
war. This is no time to be flood
ing the country with jokes. The
people are not in a joking mood.

The democrats Of Arizona will
have an opportunity at the pri-
maries this fall to demonstrate
whether they are more inter-
ested in standing behind the
President, or standing behind
the democratic state machine.
There are three state officers who
will be candidates before the
primaries, whose nomination
would be a gross reflection on
the loyalty of our people, and
place Arizona in the same class
as Wisconsin. The debauching
of soldier boys in camp is crime
against American loyalty, not to
mention the disgrace of the par
ents of the young men who have
been courtmartialed.

Gov. Hunt was not a party to
the disgraceful drunken orgy
that was pulled off in the hotel
at San Diego by three state Off
cials. when they took possession
of the room of one of Arizona's S
boys, who was member of the
training camp, converted it into
a whlskey joint, and invited a
dozen or more of our Arizona
soldier boys in and debauched
them. Gen. Strong, who had an
adjoining room, appeared on the
scene, had the soldiers placed
under arrest, and later they were
court-martialed, but the three
state officials, who were directly
responsible for the disgrace,
were permitted to get away.
Congress has passed a law
making it a crime to give, or aid
in procuring liquor for soldiers
in the service, but these three
state officials will probably escape
merited punishment because of
their official positions. Just why
a public official should be immune
from prosecution for this offense
we cannot understand, unless
sufficient political pressure was
brought to bear to smother the
thing. But the people of this
state will have a chance to ex-
press themselves on these three
men in the primaries to be held
in August, when they will be
asking for votes for office.

New Registration
of Men Reaching Fl
Since the 1st of Juns-Ths Govern
ment Expects 10000
More.

Washington, Aug. 14.-Registra-
tion on Saturday, August "a, Of all
youths who have reached the age of
Fl since the second registration last
June 5, was ordered today by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder, un-
der proclamation by the president.
The purpose is to add quickly to the
almost exhausted class one to meet
army draft calls in September.
About 100000 young men will
register, most of them win qualify
for class one, and therefore, will join
the army probably within a month
after their names are recorded.
Telegraphic orders to local author
tiles to arrange for registration have
been distributed. Only men in the
armed service are exempted from
regibtration. 1t was pointed out at
the provost marshal generals office
that this registration would be entire
ly distinct from the registration that
will be necessary shorty when the
draft ages are extended and it also
was announced that the suggested
date, September 5, would not be the
day for the registration of men from
18 to as, even if congress passes the
bill in time.

SUNDAY AT THE
METHODIST CHURCH

In the morning Rev. Wilkinson will
preach on the theme, "The Enemy at
the Open Door," The reverend says
that "The men who win are not the
men that have no foes, but rather
those who fight by all that is worse,
do ever that which is best. There
is something in every normal human
being that is ever saying there is
something better than this for you.
This is the open door for every man.
But between Che man and the open
door there are many foes. There
was never such an open door of op-
portunity for the church, the nation,
the world as in this present crisis and
yet never such powerful foe
camped before the door. Opportuni-
ty and opposition dwell on the same
street and often live under the same
roof"
At night there will be an institute
program given by the Epworth
League. Special music morning and
night. We are anxious that you
should have place in the large
crowd that attends. -

MAN OF WONDERFUL VITALITY

About three weeks ago J. H. Black,
a gentleman totally blind and 80
years of age, residing near Gray,
Oklahoma, was taken to the Liberal
hospital to be treated for very Sc
we're and unusually large rupture.
After careful examination by the
doctors it was found that an opera
tion was necessary, but owing to the
weak condition of his heart it was
feared that if an anaesthetic was adj
ministered it might result in his
death. The case was fully explained
to Mr.. Black and he stated that it
was not necessary to administer an
anaesthetic as he knew he could pass
through the operation easily and safe
ly in his normal condition and was
ready for the ordeal any time that
suited the doctors. So he was placed
on the operating table, and an incis.
ion made in his groin, the intestines
replaced in their proper place, the
hernia sack removed and the wound
closed. During the operation Mr.
Black had smile on his face and
joked with those about the operating
table. When the operation was over
it was found that Mr.. Blacks temper.
ature and pluse were about in Their
normal condition and that he exhibit
ed no signs of exhaustion. From
that time on the wound healed rapid
ly and within twenty-four hours hi
was able to be up and move about the
hospital, and on Tuesday he left fol
Gray, feeling, as he expressed it
Like two year old" The hos
pital people were astonished at tn,
nerve and vitality exhibited by tn,

GOOD CORN NEAR HAYNE
N. A. Smith Has Fine Yield. Ears
Are Well Filled.

N. A. Smith Of Hayne brings the
Democrat sack of roasting ears
which were raised on his place near
Hayne. They are fully the equal of
any we have seen in Kansas, large,
well filled ears that will make fine
yield.
Mr.. Smith says he used great care
in the cultivation of this crop. He
disced the ground three times before
planting and listed it deep and plant
ed. After it came up he narrowed
it once, then sledded it down and
cultivated once. His effort is going
to show up in results when it is ready
to gather.
Mr.. Smith has some exceptionally
fine maize and broom corn this year.
In. fact Mr.. SmiEh is a farmer who
seldom fails to have good crops. If
there is any moisture at all his meth
cd of cultivation will conserve it and
the crop will get the full benefit.

GOVERNMENT SEED WHEAT
WILL SOON BE AVAILABLE
Final Arrangements and Rules Being
Worked Out for Distribution.

Ray Millman, secretary of the Lib
eral Chamber of Commerce, has re-
turned from Topeka, where he went
to attend a meeting of state officials
and representatives of commercial
bodies in connection with the govern
ment distribution of seed wheat.
There was work in plenty for the
meeting. However, it is expected
that within the next few days every
thing will be in readiness.
The distribution will be through
the local banks and blanks for this
purpose will likely be here in few
days.
Not more than $500 will be loaned
one person, and to secure the loan
one must give mortgage on the CROP
the loan to bear 6 per cent interest.
To the best of our information the
fund is available to renters as well
as land owners, in fact all who cannot
get the money to buy seed. 1t is moi
intended for those who do not really
need the assistance.

Food Administration Withdraws Or
der for Beetles Days.

The Food Administrator has with
drawn its order regarding "beefiess
days" and the public may have all
the steaks and roasts they desire.
The administration however re-
quests that butchers restrict their
killing to beeves which dress less than
Ats pounds.
The order preventing the killing Of
beeves dressing this weight is also
withdrawn.
At the outset the order was intend
ed to prevent the killing of beeves
of a lighter weight than demanded
by the government, ATS pounds, in
order that meat for the soldiers and
the allies might be plentiful. How
ever, it was shown that the order was
working a hardship upon the produc-
ers. In sections where feed is scarce
and money not too plentiful the small
stock man was up against hard
proposition, while now he may mar
ket his light beeves if he cannot car
ry them over.
