Keep my bunk and number.
May no pole or guy rope break

Far away from soldiers sins,
And these greasy hslf-baked beans

And forever more I'll be alright.
Take me back to that land so true.
Where they don't hike in mud all o'er

From grooming mules to pick and

The Tucson Charter

Next Tuesday will be most momentous day in Tucson We are not familiar with the proposed charter but we know it must be an improvement adobe village That the city grown and improved much under the old outgrown and patched-up charter speaks well for the virility Tucson. In spite of the charter the city, especially of late years has had progressive government though the charter never contemplated it and. though such thing was the city has had managerial form of government under it. and a truer managerial form than many cities have had under charters especially designed for that form. We mention this only to illustrate what have often before stated that government depends upon the character of it's people than upon the blank form of its government. The people of Tucson resolved to have city manager and they had good and left him free and unrestricted to exercise his abilities
 They could not quite keep politics out of the government But for that matter, politics may be insinuated into any form government the people leave the politicians unwatched, especially under ward system such that provided for in the old charter.
 In connection with the submission of the pro- posed charter there will be submitted as candidates for the commission the names of four of the fore most citizens of Tucson three of the leading busi- ness men, including Colonel Epes Randolph and one professional man. We believe no candidates have been nominated against them, the only question will be the adoption of the charter.

The Farm Census

In some of the western states, under direction of the local councils of defense patriotic census is being made of all the farms and farm land in the con- monweath. It is large task but it is worth while For the prosecution of the the conservation of American resources especially in food line it is first of all necessary know what these resources areand this the proposed farm census will accomp- fish. The facts to be collected with regard to every farm where the project is being thoroughly insti- tuted are the and address of the owner the acreage, whether tenant owner, the 1918 acreage now in or to be planted for wheat barley. oats or corn, potatoes, beets etc, in fact every crop that pertains to the sustenance of man.
 statement will also be made of the amount of seed of every kind needed for the spring planting; where there is surplus seed hand this fact also will be noted, and the information will be available facilitating the distribution of the surplus in To- calities where there is shortage-afording at once a market and a source of supply Not less valuable will be the information obtained from each farmer as to the of labor in of the neighborhood supply which he will need for the 1918 season-the number of required the length time their help will be needed and the kind of work for which he will want them This will enable the state council of defense systematic and ordinate the states sup ply of labor to place it where it will be of the greatest vaucs and also to draw integenty upon the national labor supply. since the whole movement

OUR MEN BIGGER THAN ALLIES

have not seen American soldiers, body, for many years; meantime my vision military affairs has adjusted itself to the British Tommy, the French and Belgian pou and the Italian peasant soldier And was struck today, every time I entered one of the huts, with the size and physical quality of the American men, They are the finest, most outstanding specimens that any nation among the allies sent to France.
 They make eager and responsive audiences; they are keen to hear about the from anyone who has seen it. They have fallen already into the routine mind of the soldier whose horizon infinitely great struggle is bound to be limited. The average man in the ranks knows less about this war than the average man at the rear. The local newspapers do not help our soldiers much, since few of them read French. And, indeed that very good provincial paper published in city not far away could not possibly meet the sudden demand-even though it were published in English-on of the limited paper supply
 The English language newspapers of Paris reach this rather remote section of camps in limited quantities. After every talk my cicerone had to tear me away from eager group, each waiting to put his own pet question about the war-its causes its technic and it's general condition-Wl Irwin in the Saturday Evening Post.

age. But let Dr. C. F. Vanderkleed, chief chemist of the H. K. Mulford comrany tell the sweetest story ever told
 'Saccharine has gone up in price, like everything else,' he explained. Tt is made from coal tar and one of the principal ingredients needed in it's manufacture is permanganate of potassium. which has gone up a mere 1000 per cent since the war started. Another vitally necessary in eredient is toluol. This is the basis of INT, the highest explosive known to man, and much in vogue just now. The tremendous demands for toluol by the ammunition makers has made that article very scarce. Hence saceharine is more expensive than ever before.
 The saccharine equivalent of one pound of sugar at ii cents is four
 teen grains, costing wholesale s cents. Of course, the cost of handl- ing saccharine is much less than in the case of sugar, and it would be possible to undersell the sugar mer- chant at any time The question of whether saccharine is deleterious to l health is an open one. But it has no food value whatsoever and most human beings require sugar for the
 sake of their health. But as a ] temporary expedient, saccharine might do.'

will be in general cooperation with the federal gov ernment
 In addition to all this, there is to be careful tabuation of the breeding stock of the state which will tend to prevent the slaughter of animals that would ultimately be valuable breeders. It will be recalled that in Germany in the early days of the war-and in anticipation that the conflict would be short and decisve-he high prices of meat led to ndiscriminate slaughter of animals especi ally hogs. The later regrets of both producer and consumer, and the grave injury the nation itself, well-known. An intelligent farm census and the prudent of the information obtained from it. will enable the United States avoid this colossal mis- take.
 There would seem to be argument against the making of such in every state. It is not only a timely and patriotic movement, but it would be of direct pecuniary benefit the farmer and add to his efficiency. It may not be feared in any way operating to increase the farmers taxes, make him more liable to draft or to decrease his prices for farm products. On the contrary it will be of direct and practical benefit him. and to the whole country Moreover it will help win the war

SHIPS DOGS ARE SEA HEROES

However, the dog conducted himself like gentleman and scholar, the officer declares and in due time decorated with the insignia of A. B. dog
 He misbehaved various occasions and failed to do his part in two brushes with submarines. so he was marched on the quarterdeck and soemnly remitted to puppy" Ever since, the story goes, he has been striving to retrieve himself but thus far he has not recovered his rank

The Primary

Contrary to popular expectation the city pri- mary resulted in choice of commissioner and probably choice of a mayor, that the contest will have to be settled at a general election. The Republican had expressed desire that the primary would bring out heavy vote and tsat in such a vote a mayor and commissioners would be elected by a margin so small that the winning candidates would have been given a strong hint of the watchfuness of the voter.
 The wish we expressed has been gratifed and little more. The vote was heavy one the heaviest ever cast at city election in Phoenix; the percent age of the registration voted above the and the margin so small for the office of mayor that by an unforeseen circumstance that many votes cast at the election than cast for mayor there was no choice at al And there was no jorty margin for any candidate for the commission.
 All this is a good sign The people of Phoenix now to be awake and have doubt that the interest aroused in the primary will be carried over to the general election when a still heavier vote will be cast.
 We trust that within the next month those who have taken foremost part in the awakening of voters will keep up the good work and that it may be carried not only until the general cleo tion but from election election, and that every year before primary the voters will select the best candidates to be voted for then When this atr- tude becomes general good men, the best men, will offer themselves the public service and we will be free from the mere office seeker
 Though the primary of Friday apparently suited in nothing but the elimination of one candi- date for commissioner it really amounted to a great deal. It marked popular turn from apathy and carelessness to a healthy interest in municipal af- fairs It is something to have shown that there moro than 45OO persons in Phoenix who realized that they real citizens.
