The road between Chandler and Mesa is being graded as far as the turn to the west, two miles out. Travel necessarily is suspended along the line of work, the most accessible route to Chandler now being just east of the experimental farm. Persons having to make the journey between the two Southside towns are hopeful that the good work will not cease until the en- tire road is graded.

BRETON AND TURK
 MEET IN A BATTLE
(New York Post.)


 There is story of Gallipoli that deals with a fight in the open and ex- hibits the "unspeakable" Turks as a fair and worthy enemy. This is the story:
 A young English officer, doing ob- servation work alone, was suddenly confronted by a Turkish officer, sim ilarly engaged. The Turk was as sur prised as the young Briton, but come forward revolver in hand. The English man had no revolver. He stood his ground, his hands in the large pockets of his tunic.
 Seeing that his adversary was un- armed, the Turk, much to the surprise of the Briton, threw down his gun and put his fists in approved prize ring style. The Englishman put him. self on guard, and the next moment the Turk flung himself upon him, and the pair began to fight desperately.
 The men were about the same age, the same weight, and had adequate knowledge of the article of boxing. They fought without stopping for about ten minutes. By that time each was exhausted, and they paused for a brief rest, only to continue their little private accounting when they had found their breath. Round after round the fight went on, while out in Gulf of Saros the ships fired auto

THEIR ONE ADVANTAGE.

'"Had wanted to vote for liquor"
said one Of the members Of the Mary
land legislature after that body had
voted for ratification Of the federal
amendment, II could have got enough
for my vote to have made me rich
man; many times a rich man." The
only advantage the liquor interests
have over the ddvocates Of prohibition
in the ratification campaign is that
they are not hampered by scruples in
their choice of tactics pursued, COM
ments the Union Signal. 1t Is with
them life and death struggle. and ap-
parently they will not hesitate to re-
sort to any measures known to cor
rupt politics to gain. their ends. The
members Of the state law-making
bodies will be submitted to severe tests
when 1t comes to a vote on ratifca-
tion, and no candidate for the posi-
ton of legislator should be considered
at the primaries by the friends of pro-
hibition who has not demonstrated
that he is absolutely incorruptible !;
who cannot show that he is rooted and
grounded in the principle of prohibi-
ton and who in his ante-election pledge
will not make a public promise regard
ing his attitude on the wet or dry
question.

nNew., spinach /. E.xorlte.

This is just an item about spinach
and how you can help prevent a rath-
er important loss in 1t. All that is
asked of you is that you do not dis
criminate unfairly, when you go to
market, in the matter of two kinds of
spinach which are practically alike
except in looks. Prickly seeded spin
ach is an old type that is coming back
on the market this year because seed
Of the common spinach-Savoy-leaf-
is scarce. 1t resembles the dandelion
somewhat in appearance. It has just
as much food value and as good q
flavor as the smoother-leafed Savoy
which you are more accustomed to
buying, and can be cooked in the same
way. Only a few years ago, before
the Savoy became almost the only
type grown commercially, the prickly
seeded spinach was the most popular
kind produced for winter use.
So don't snub this old fav0r1te.
Specialists Of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture are eager to
have this explanation spread broad
cast because they fear loss may re-
suit from the belief of many consum-
ers and dealers that the pr1ckly-
seeded type is new one differing in
food value.

why Use cornmeal7

A 35-bushel yield of corn, which
crop produces more human food than
any other commonly grown on Ameri-
can farms, will supply nearly $50
pounds of protein needed for flesh
building and more than 100000 units
(calories) of energy. Wherever condi-
tions are favorable for extending corn
acreage 1t is evident that considerable
addition can be made to the supply Of
human food.
Let 1t be urged once again, use more
cornmeal. Millers should give special
attention to the preparation Of corn
meal Of good quality and housewives
should use Increased quantities Of this
nutritious and palatable product, as q
substitute for wheat for bread snAkiak
and other purposes. 1t is more practtc-
able to increase the use Of cOrnmeaI In
this country than abroad, for our pe0-
pie are familiar with corn as a food,
while most European peoples are not,
though now they try to do what they
can.

not single Kansas boy was rejected
Son account of alcoholism and that the
percentage of reflections for physical
disabilities was smaller among Kansas
troops than those Of any other state.
"Many Kansas towns did not have
to send single man to the first draft
army. Their quotas had been more
than filed by volunteers.
General Leonard Wood, commander
Of Camp Funston, frequently has TAX
en- occasion to say in public addresses,
that the standards Of living in Kansas
have not only increased the efficiency
Of Kansas soldiers 25 per cent, but
that the prohibitory and other welfare
laws of the state have made 1t COM
paratively easy to conduct a model

savory Meat savers.

Beans, peas and other legumes are
especially Important articles Of food
Mt the time because Of the large
amount Of protein they contain. which
makes them valuable as meat savers.
The legumes protein, however, Is not q
complete substitute for that supplied
by meat, hsh, poultry. eggs, milk.
cheese. etc. The legumes will not,
therefore, entirely take the place of
meat and similar sources of protein
in the diet. They. should perhaps be
looked upon as meat savers rather
than meat substitutes. They will per-
form their function Ms food better II
used in connection with some Of the
other sources of protein named rather
than alone. For this reason such
dishes as the following. for example,
are preferable to beans or other
legumes alone: Pork and beans. Bos-
ton roast (cold baked beans and
cheese), bean soup with boiled egg,
stews Of meat and legumes, bean Gro
quettes with boiled egg, and bean
chowders and purees with milk.

THE woMEN's PETITION.

THE WoMEN's PETITION.
In NO better way can this great and
significant petition be described than
by quoting from the speech Of Senator
Jones Of Seattle In presenting . copy
Of that notable document to the Unit
cd States senate: "A few days ago."
he said, zone Of the most remarkable

to the president of the United Staets,
asking in very respectful terms that

prohibit the further use Of grain and
other food products in the manufac-
ture of malt and vinous liquors. That
petition was signed by many prOmi-
nent women of this country Of every
class and occupation. It was signed
by the representatives Of all the big
woman's organizations in the country.
1t represented 100000 of the patriot
ic women of this country, of the most
their own persons but for those whom
they represented as the officials OF
organizations of various kinds. This
is distinctly a win the war appeal
by the patriotic women Of this coun-
try. who are doing everything In their
power to bring this war to a success
full termination. The women OF
America are doing their part now, as
they have always done 1t in the his
tory of the nation, and they present.
ed the petition to the president as a
war proposition. They believe the
course suggested by them would have
much to do with the winning Of the
war, and as patriots, and not AZ part-
sans Of any particular idea. they pre-
scented it to him.
II think this is the first time in the
history Of the temperance movement
that all Of the leading Organizations Of
women have united In behalf Of par
ticular proposition. They have all
united In behalf Of this one prop
osition and they are all represented in
the petition that was presented to the
president.
''This petition was prompted by that
great organisation, the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union, and. In my
Judgment, will take rank among the
historic petitions Of the world"
Miss Gordon's statement to the
president, the text of the petition. and
every signature affixed thereto. was, at
Senator Jones' request. printed in the
Congressional Record, occupying more
than eight pages Of that periodical.

and In consequence my husband could
not accompany us. The colonel insist
ed upon my taking my two children
with us. although both were very
small, my little boy. John A. Logon,
Jr, a mere baby. However, he regard
ed the trip in the light Of an historic
pilgrimage and felt that the children
should see some of the battledelds
over which distinguished generals had
led their armies.
1T was a cold, bleak day ON which
we arrived in Richmond, and the ho-
tel was desolate place Of refuge. It
afforded one of the evidences Of the
privations which the people Of the
Confederacy had suffered. These evi-
dences were very plentiful throughout
the city. as we later discvered. The
vehicle which Colonel Wilson found
for our conveyance for the drive to the
backgrounds nearby was a wretched
carriage drawn by-two miserably poor
horses. The driver was the picture Of
detection, and the small boy who
served as footman was no better, and
he shivered from head to foot with
the cold.
| "As we drove over the battlefields
we observed colored people picking up
the bullets and pieces of shell, shrnp-
mel, minnie balls. bits of broken cam
non and other iron material. Foun.
dries had set price on this product,
and 1t afforded quite livelihood for
time to the poor about fortified cities
and battlefields.
1--WE visited the churchyards and
cemeteries at Richmond and Peters
burg made historic through the strug-
giles which had taken place in and
around those cities. There were a
great many burial grounds in those
neighborhoods, because the globes,
which were land grants from Eng
land to the Episcopal church in
America, had still existed as church
grants at the time Of the Civil war.
and were used as burial grounds for
the citizens and soldiers.
"In the burying ground near Peters
burg we saw many hundreds of
graves Of Confederate soldiers. and
they nearly all bore a small, faded
flag and the dark, withered wreaths
and remains of their floral decoration
Of nearly year before. These
mournful mementoes of the bygone
tragedy Of the South touched me
deeply, and on our return home from
the tour of the battlefields I told my
husband of this tribute of the Southern
men and women to their soldier dead.
General Logan reciprocated my
feeling as to the fitness of the senti-
ment expressed. He said that it was
a revival Of the ancient custom, for the
people of ages past in old countries
had performed the rite of decorating
the graves Of their dead heroes with
flowers. He considered the matter for
a time, and then said he did not see
why 1t might not be revived in the case
Of the fallen Union soldiers.
General Logan. who was then COM
mander in chief Of the Grand Army
Of the Republic, decided that he. would
issue an order for the decoration Of
the soldiers graves on the following
