EAT PINK BEANS.

Eat pink beans freely as a substi-
tute for meat, the United States food
administration urged recently in an
nOuncing that the requirements of
the army and navy have been fully
supplied for the season
The patriotic response of the farm
er to the appeal for big crop result
ed in tremendous yield and large
quantities of pink beans remain un-
sold in the hands of the growers.
These; the food administration says,
may be obtained from dealers at II to
IL cents pound.
The administration in a statement
to farmers assured them that regard
less OF the tonnage produced next
crop prices would be stabilized and
that the army and navy will again
demand thousands of tons early this
fall. The consumer, through an in
creased consumption of beans, will
not only provide an incentive for
further efforts on the part of farmers
but will be able to obtain food high
in nutritive value at a reasonable
figure, the food administration notes

FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY.

In this issue of The Post appears
the card of Thomas d. Molloy, an
nouncing himself as candidate for
the Office of county attorney of Yu-
ma county, subject to the decision Of
the democratic voters at the primary
election. Mr.. Molloy is one of the
most prominent lawyers of Yuma
county and his name has been con-
nected with many of the most i'm
portant cases that have come before
our courts. For many years past,
had to choose from has been some
what like Charles IFS navy, which
Macauley said consisted of "seamen
and gentlemen" but the seamen
were not gentlemen, and the gentle
men were not seamen. Our attorneys
have been competent and decent;
but when competent they have not
always been decent, and when de-
cent they have not not always been
competent. And in some instances
it would be no exaggeration to say,
they have neither been competent nor
decent. But Mr.. Molloy is both COM
petent and decent, besides he is a
man that's clean inside and out; one
who neither looks up to the rich nor
down on the poor; who can lose with
out squealing and win without brag-
ging; who is too brave to lie, too
generous to cheat, and who takes his
share of the world and lets other
people have theirs.

A VICTIM Of
THE DESERT

The dead body of man, believed
to be that Of John Buttner of Mari
copa, Arizona, was found lying on the
ground about $50 yards from the
home of Perfecto Leavis, on the res
ervation, on Friday afternoon of last
week The remains were black and
badly decOmpOsed, the body having
evidently lain there several days
The, discovery was made by young
Frank Leavis, who was dragging out
for burial the body OF one of their
hogs that had just died, when he
came upon the remains of the man.
The local justice here was apprised
OF the find, and on Saturday he re-
paired to the place, summoned a
jury and held am inquest
At the inquisition a chevrolet
automobile, belonging to the dead
man, was found about quarter of a
mile from where the the remains lay,
and in the machine were blankets
and camping outfit. From numer-
Gus letters and papers found amons
the personal effects his name was
ascertained, as was also the facet
that he was the owner Of a ranch at
Maricopa, this state, and one at Mar
tinez, Cal, where he has a brothe"
living. 1t would seem that he was
on the way to the latter place when
death overlook him. From receipted
bills found in his possession it ap-
pears that he was at his home at
Maricopa as late as June goth
A tourist, whose name was not
learned, gave the information that
two or three days previously, while
travelling through that section he
met, not far from where the remains
were found, this man who was look
ing about on foot in search OF water,
He gave him drink from his canteen
and directed him to Leavis' place,
telling him he could get plenty of
water there. and when last seen he
was headed in that direction.
The deceased was a man between
forty-five and fifty years of age. In
his pockets were found $22.66 and a
good silver watch.
The cOrOner's jury returned a
verdict of death from natural causes,
for there was no doubt but that the
man succumbed to the excessive heat
after having taken that drink of
water
AS the remains were in such an
advanced stage of decomposition that
they could not be moved, they were
inferred on the spot. The automobile
together with all the personal effects
were brought to town and dispatch
sent to the deceased's. brother at
Martinez.

TURKEY MUST EXPLAIN.

WASHINGTON, July 2,-The Unit
ed States government has formally
presented the Turkish government
the report that Turkish troops attack
ed and sacked an American hospital
at Tabriz, Persia, and seized the
American consulate there, with re-
quest for an explanation.
Confederation of the facts OF the
Tabriz incident have been received
through Spain, supporting the ruInor
sent from Teheran by Minister Cald-
we'll. 1t was said at the state depart
ment that the character of the Turk
ish troops responsible for the indig
nifty might have an important bear
ing on the action of the United
States in the matter.
Upon Turkeys reply depends wheth
er the ally of Germany shalt be add

If the troops who sacked the Ameri-
can mission at Tabriz were Kurds or
irregular troops the incident may
not take on serious aspect.
The Spanish consul was In charge
of the American consulate at Tabriz
and it is supposed he also was looking

FIRST INDIAN TO DIE In FRANCE

MESA, June, 3O.-Matthew B.
Rivers of Sacaton lies upon the battle
field of France, dead in the cause
of world freedom and because as
a loyal American, he was among the
first to volunteer in response to the
call to arms.
Yesterday morning there came into
the Mesa office of the Republican, a
young Pima Indian and told the
story of the dead mans patriotism.
Rivers, or as his real name was
Matthew B. JUAN" was full blood
Pima Indian. He was educated at
Sherman Institute, the noted Indian
school in California. He was an
athlete and one of the star pitchers
of the Indian nine, being known to
baseball fans as Lucky Slim" The
writer remembers him on the dia-
mond at Orange, California, when
the game was at it's tensest moment
standing in the box as unmOved, and
apparently unconcerned as though
nothing was happening, then in a
second the long sinewy frame would
tighten into steel-like toughness and
the ball would flash past perplexed
batter
When the war broke out he volun-
teered in Texas and went at once
to training camp. He was on the
Tuscania when the ship was tor
pedoed off the coast of Ireland and
was among the survivors. When the
Indians of Sacaton heard of the
ships loss and the foul attack as
they considered it, upon one Of their
own blood, it aroused the most Wig
orous patriotism and they showed
it by going over the top on the Lib
erty loan and war stamp purchases.
Rivers is the first Arizonan to give
his life to his country, and when
his friend said that he added: "If
you put anything in the paper about
my friend, tell the people that 80
boys from Camp Kearney, all Indians,
have just started for France, and tell
them tOo," here he pa Lsed and for
once the Indian stoicism lost itself
in a glow of tribal pride in the soldier
dead-"Tell them that the fighting
spirit of Matthew Rivers will live
long in the hearts of the Pima Indian
people .

WILL LEASE
INDIAN LANDS

The Ashurst bill, which passed the
senate last week, and which Ia expect
ed to pass the house, provides for the
leasing of mineral lands within the
reservations. The bill provides for a
royalty to be paid on all ores extract
ed at the nominal figure of five per
cent, net, at the mine. Locators are
required to perfect title In the same
manner that titles to any mineral
Claims are now perfected in the states
or territories and $100 worth of an
nual labor must be performed In ac-
cordance with the u. ). law now in
force. The lessor also may lease lands
contiguous to the mines for milling
or smelling purposes, at an annual
rental of 81 per year, which rental is
to apply on the payment Of royalties,
if any there be. The secretary Of the
interior may lease or sell the surface
ground of the mining claims Ii such
surface ground is not deemed neces-
sary to the welfare of the mines. This
probably, is due to the necessity OF
conserving grazing lands The de-
partment is required to collect an
annual rental for the ground covered
by the claims of not less than 25
cents per acre for the first year, so
cents for the second, third and fourth
years, ,and 81 for each year thereafter.
this to apply on the royalty The OBJ
ject of the rentals is to compel the
operation of the mines during the life
of the lease, the lessee being penahz-
ed for failure to extract and sell ores.

TRACTION OFFICIALS CONFER
REGARDING "DINKY"
SCHEDULE.

Several weeks ago, the Kentucky
Traction and Terminal Co., instituted
a slow schedule and new six-cent.
fare rate for the operation of the city
car on their lines in this city. The
schedule and the rate both brought
out many protests from patrons of the
line, with the result of causing con-
siderable discussion and disSatisfac-
ton. No action was taken in regard
to the matter at the time.
Yesterday Messrs. ]. r. Bush and
j. H. Daley, representing the Trac-
ton Co., came to Paris and held a
conference with Mayor E. B. January
and other interested officials in re-
gard to restoring the old schedule
and the old five-cent fare. Nothing
was given out for publication after
the conference, but enough was gath
cred to surmise that the changes will
be made shortly to the entire satic-
faction of the patrons and the trac-
ton people.
