HOG PRICES TO CON-
 TINUE UNCHANGED

That prices for hogs farrowed this fall are not at all likely to be less than present prices, is stated by Herbert Hoover in communication to Dean Mumford of the University of Mis- souri College of Agriculture. Speak ing for the U. S. Food Administra- tion, Mir. Hoover says:
 "So far as we are able we will con- tinue the assurance of minimum of $15.50 per hundred for average of packers droves at Chicago for hogs farrowed this fall. We can reconsider the outlook in few months as to the extension of this again to spring far rowing. I have little doubt that we will be able to continue. Ido want it made clear in all these matters of price influence by the government that this is not a guarantee--it is a policy, and this policy will only, be defeated .by some unlocked for inter ruption in distribution, transportation or consumption--a risk of war we must all take"

THOMAS E. CAMPBELL
 CONFRONTS ACCUSERS

My attention has been called to a letter being addressed to voters of the state and purporting to be signed by George Babbitt, Democratic State chairman, in which it is stated that I have publicly criticised President Wilson in my speeches." said Tom Campbell, who spent short time in Tucson, Sunday, enroute to the south eastern portion of the state.
 "The paragraph in Mir. Babbitt's letter to which l take exception is as follows:
 "'We must not forget that the re- publican nomj ice for Governor has in his campaign publicly criticised Pres ident Wilson and his policies and has openly aligntd himself with the enc mics of our President
 Before the Liberty Loan campaign, I made five political speeches at Bis bee, Globe, Tucson, Phoenix and Prescott. After that my addresses were devoted to the Liberty Loan and I ignored politics entirely. Those who heard me will bear me out when I say that I did not utter a single word which might be construed as criticism of the President of the Unit ed States or as aligning myself with the enemies of our President.
 "I have addressed letter to Mir. Babbitt, asking him whether he au- thorized this false and libelous state ment, believing that he should be held to account if he is really responsible for it.
 "It is no light thing these days to be charged with being aligned with the enemies of the President of dhe United States and I cannot conceive that MT. Babbitt, whom I have al- ways know to be an estimable gen. tlenan, would make make such a statement when there is not the slightest foundation in fact for it."

PIONEER BORDER
 GENTLEMAN DIES

Cliffird Booker, one of the best known cattlemen in this part of the southwest, passed away Tuesday night at the International hotel from a cancer. He had been sufferer from the malady for more than three years and his death was not unex- pected. J. c. Benningfield, brother in-law, and neice, each of Twin Buttes, Ariz., were at the bedside of the afflicted man when the end came. Funeral services were held at Fer guson's undertaking establishment this afternoon at 3 o'clock and burial will be in Calvary cemetery.
 MT. Booker had been in this imme- diate vicinity for more than 30 years, practically all of which time had been spent in the cattle business. For sey- eral years he was in the service of the Greene Cattle Company as fore man, and in 1910 he was the owner of a ranch near Opata, Mexico. Dur ing the Mexican revolution he lost most of his property in that country and just before his illness he was as- sociated with Francisco Ellis and other we'll known stockmen in raising cattle. He was about 40 years of age, George Dowdle will look after the af- fairs. of the deceased.-Dispatch.,

CURETON ON
 LAND LAWS

Mir. Editor:
 From letter l received today from Wm. Mouer, Land Commissioner of Arizon, it seems that he is doing what he can to help the land monopoly men of Arizona get the big lease laws through. I urge again for every cit izen who believes in fair play to vote against these land monopoly laws on next Tuesday.
 We know how the monopoly loving people are going to vote and we must beat them. We know, too, how these same people are going to vote for STATE SENATOR. They already voiced their objections to me since I have so firmly opposed this land grabbing monopoly. They would like now, to make it appear that did not vote right in the present legislature. I say that voted and worked for the best interests of Coconino county as a whole at all times in the legislature. I was not representing one interest, one class of people, or one section of the county, but the whole county. It is true Senator Campbell and I did not vote the same on every bill, but he had a right to his opinion and I had an equal right to mine. For example, Mir. Campbell introduced and passed in the senate the COCONINO COUN- TY GAME RESERVE BILL which I smothered in the house. I killed MT. Campbell's bill because at the election two months previous the peo- pie of Arizona passed bill allowing each person to kill one deer one month in the year. and I did not be- lieve in putting closed season on Co., confno county and raising the deer here to cross over in the other coun- ties and be killed, and cutting out the privilege of our own people here from little outdoor sport in hunting. For these reasons I worked against MT. Campbell's bill, and I have equally good reasons for voting differently from MT. Campbell on any other bills in the present legislature. So please do not condemn me for my vote till after I have a chance to give my reasons.
 have no money to pass out to buy influence, and cannot and would not spend more on being elected than the salary of the office. But regardless of any and all influences outside of the booth before and on election day, feel that the good citizens of Coco pino county will vote. when in secret. for their hest interests and put the X !. in the right rlace for State Senator.
 Yours truly.

Frosted Potatoes Make Good Starch

Frosted Potatoes Make Good Starch.
 Frosted and decayed potatoes have been found in trials conducted by the United States Department of Agricul- ture to be entirely capable of produc- ing acceptable and frequently normal yields of clean, white starch of good quality. Much of this material ap- pears to possess a potential valne for the production of sizing starch approx imating that of the stock at present used for this purpose. The mechani- cal difficulties in recovery from de- cayed pulp are sometimes greater and sometimes less than from normal stock. Modified procedure adapted to these abnormal pubs doubtless could be devised, department specialists say, but there seems to be no reason why the present method might not be applied profitably in the meantime in the production of sizing starche in factories at the large shipping cen ters installed to utilize the great quan- titles of frozen and decayed potatoes arriving during the fall and winter. This would turn to profitable account large supplies at present without val ue, but which are serious burden of expense since to their cost of produc- tion must be added transportation and dumping charges. s
