WOUNDED AND IN THE
HOSPITAL, FORMER
PHOENIX BOY WRITES

Receiving probably more than his
average share of wounds in action,
Glenn H. Stephens, a former employe
of the Mountain States Telephone
company and later with E. e. Pascoe
in his real estate office, writes to Mr..
Pascoe from the hospital where he Is
convalescing from injuries.
Stephens at the time war was de-
clared by the United States determined
to get to France as soon as possible
and enlisted in the regular army, was
sent to Fort Huachucha and was in
the first contingent to go overseas.
Arriving in France in June. 1917,
Stephens took part in the first big bat
tie in which the United States regulars
were engaged. He was gassed and sent
to the hospital where he was five
months. Fully recovering, he returned
to his regiment and later was shot in
the left arm and through the left side
by German machine gun. He was
at first reported Killed.
Stephens went to the hospital the
second time where he wrote the follow
ing letter:
October 81, 1918.
Dear Mr.. Pascoe:
Another opportunity has been pre-
scented, Of which | will take advantage.
Am taking an enforced vacation as a
guest of the Red Cross, resulting with
second argument with a Boche ma
chine gun.
Recovered from the wounds received
in the big drive last July at scissors,
but it necessitated the hors de combat
role for period of nearly two months.
In reducing a number of machine gun
nests | must have effected a short cir
cult with them, hits were scored in the
left arm and through the left side, but
incidentally We went considerably over
! out quota of Huns. Suffice to say, it
was we'll worth the game as the Amer
leans literally waltzed right through
| them. However, the fighting was ra-
Their stiff.
Returned to duty in time for the
extensive fall campaign now going on.
Our division being the Oldest is gen.
orally used where there is plenty of
rough work ahead, consequently we
experienced some strenuous perform
ances, which completely overshadowed
all the previous engagements. Man
| aged to last about a month; another
| alteration with machine guns, per-
forated through the right leg and was
obliged to go back to the hospital for
| the third time seeking much needed
repairs.
| At that ! was extremely fortunate
as we participated in most of the i'm
portant operations which you no doubt
have read about and personally got
in four more sessions over the top
Don't expect to be out of commission
very long this time
l saw Joe Bales in September and he
| appears to be all right and looking fine
He has transferred to another COM
pany and is doing some clerical work.
The hospital where l am at present
domiciled is located in the southern
part of France at the famous resort
of Vichy the course of the well known
mineral water. 1t certainly is a beau
tiful place and the hospital is exceed
ingly fine. Also the hot mineral baths
are specially here.
Please convey my highest regard tc
al my Phoenix friends. Will probably
be able to see them in person by next
winter
Wishing you the very best of success
| remain
Sincerely yours,
GLENN H. STEPHENS.

ASK ABOUT CASTOR
BEAN As VALLEY CROP

Last spring many inquiries were re-
ceived at the Phoenix Chamber Of
Commerce about castor beans, the
ACCESSIBILITY of planting in the Salt
River valley, methods of planting and
whether or not the government would
be In the market for the seeds. In
Quirers were advised to go slow, as
this is something of a new crop in the
valley, and one that, like cotton, can
not be harvested all at once, necessi-
tating considerable expense for labor
in gathering.
Most of the government paintings
were in the south, though a consid-
cradle acreage (about $1,000 acres)
was grown in California According
to the Los Angeles Times, the COM
mercial paintings in the Imperial val
ley have not been up to expectations.
1t is said that the yield will probably
be about nine bushels to the acre,
Unsteady Of the thirty that was esti-
mated by federal officials
1t is probable that there is a con-
siderable quantity Of castor bean seed
that could be saved from plants grown
for shade and ornamental purposes.
The castor bean association of south
ern California advises the chamber of
commerce that they can pay cents a
pound for castor beans in the hull. IT
is probable that the Red Cross will ask
school children to gather beans from
scattering plants as one more way of
helping out.

SEVENTH VOLUME OF
HISTORY Of ARIZONA
BY Parish NOW OUT

The seventh volume of the History
Of Arizona, by Thomas Edwin Parish,
was issued some time ago, and the
eighth will leave the presses in short
time. Mr.. Parish had worked indie
fatigably and had .overworked during
his summer stay at Salt Lake gath
ering data concerning the Mormon
settlements of Arizona for a forth
coming volume
He was seized with an illness at
Salt Lake in September, and was
brought back to Phoenix the follow
ing month. Since them he has been
confined to his room and the greater
part of his time, to his bed, but he
has by no means been idle.
The seventh volume of the history
is of special interest, not only to the
people of Arizona, but to the people OF
the whole country and of all countries
since it is devoted exclusively to the
folk lore Of the Indians of Arizona
Mr.. Parish had made a most pains
taking search in all directions and has
been rewarded by a most interesting
collection of legends, in which the In
dian tribes of the southwest are espe-
cially rich.
In this volume the habitat of tn,
various tribes is shown and a great
deal of confusion regarding the rela-
ton of one tribe to another is
cleared up.
The history naturally becomes tn,
more interesting as it proceeds
Volume VIII. will treat Of mattels
within the recollection of persons now
living and that and the succeeding
volumes will present in an orderly
manner contemporary events, con
corning which there has been misun
Outstanding.
The history should be in every Ari
iona home and in every school library
1t has also been suggested that wher
it has been completed a condensation
Of it should be made a text book il
Arizona schools. 1t is designed t.
bring it up to the admission of tn,
| territory to statehood and it is ex
pected to end with the fourteenth

BUILD, To KEEP THE
HOME FIRES BURNING

Keep the home fires burning, is the
message heralded throughout our land.
Keep the home fires burning comes
as an echo from across the seas.
Echoing from a barren waste, where
the god of war in his wrath has laid
his bloody hand upon the once happy
homes, thriving cities and prosperous
countries.
We must keep the home fires burning
lending encouragement to those who
have responded to the cali of universal
democracy, called to defend national
honor and avenge the wrongs which
have been heaped upon innocent and
helpless nom combatants.
This is a home building period: a
time when the thoughts of men should
turn to the starting point of liberty
and freedom-the home
Every man should strive as never
before to provide a permanent shelter
for his loved ones Every wife and
mother should resolve from this day
on that their one hope and ambition
will be to keep the home fires burning
meath their own roof.
Build now-plan ahead to take care
of your family. Preserve the integrity
of our nation through the influences
of home and home life
Keep the home fires burning brightly
with the love of country, freedom, and
universal peace, so that its reflection
mirrored in the heavenly skies will
light the way for victory to the forces
OF our great government

'AURRY-UP ORDER IS

The sale of hunting licenses this
year according to County Auditor G.
K. Melby will be smaller than dur
ing any previous year since the Ii
censing of hunters started. One
reason for this is the fact that a
large number of those who spent
some time hunting each fall are now
either in the military training
camps or are on the fighting line in
France. Another is that the cost of
both guns and ammunition is about
twice what it is during ordinary
years. Other equipment necessary
for a hunting trip is also selling for
twice what itdid in former years.
Although ducks and chickens in the
county are great deal more numer-
Gus this year than last year, the
number does not come up to what
It was three and tour years aEo. The
chickens which last year were very
scarce either on account of the Sc
we're winter or on account of hail
storms, can now be seen in quite
large numbers, both on the flats and
in the hills. The ducks are not as
plentiful probably on account Of
the small amount of water in the
country. The large amount OF rains
during the past month have raised
the lakes several inches, and we be-
lieve that the number Of ducks will
increase to quite an extent before
the season opens. The hunting sea-
son on both ducks and chickens
opens this year on Sept. II.

ed with attempted. bribery of draft
board officer, John Johnson, of Gras-
sy Lake, Burleigh county, will be
arraigned before the United States

ty.
Sheriff French charges that John

$4O0 more, proposing to give note
for that sum.
County Auditor Flaherty Of Bur-
leigh county, also a member OF the

French's charge.
The accused mans son had al

supplies for the registration of ali
men in Burke county who reach
their 21st birthday on Saturday.
Aug. "a. The registration will
take place at the sheriff's Office in
Bowbells on Saturday of this week.
and it is believed that about 40
young men will come within the age
limit prescribed for this registration.
It is believed that congress will have
the new law requiring the registra-
tion of men from 18 to 45 passed by
the latter part of this week, and that
the registration will take place on
Sept. s, or Immediately thereafter.

LAkCD0N DEALER
MUST PAY A FINE

Fargo, N. d., Aug. 22.-TfI
North Dakota Red Cross receiv5(
$40 today as result of a violation
of the regulations of the United
States food administration by Emil
Schadwinkel of Langdon, N. d. Mr..
Schadwinkel appeared before Fed
eral Food Administrator Ladd this
morning to answer to charge of
selling shortweight pread. He ad-
mitted that he had sold bread
weighing 21 to 22 ounces for one
and one-half pound loaf. He was
allowed to continue in business up
on promise to obey to the letter the
food administration regulations
hereafter, and to turn over $40 to
the Red Cross. The money was
turned over today.
There have been too many VIOLA
tions Of the regulations governing
the sale of Bread" said DR.. Ladd
today. ''In North Dakota bread
may be sold only in pound and
pound and a half loaves, or in null
tiples of one or one and half pound
loaves. The pound loaf may be
sold at not to exceed fifteen cents.
The sale of bread at retail at a
higher price than this, anywhere in
North Dakota, will be considered
profiteering and any dealer selling
at a higher price will be cited to
show cause why he should not be
prosecuted under the food admins
tratiOn act"

HEIGHT A CANDIDATE
FOR COUNTY SuPT.

Former: County Superintendent Of
Schools G. H. Hecht of Portal was
in the city ON Monday Of this week
in the interests of his candidacy for
the same office he held here before.
He will file an application for the
appointment to this Office to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation
of C. H. Wort, and will be cancf-
date to succeed himself Mr.. Hecht
is meeting with much encourage
ment In all parts of the county, and
there is every reason to believe that
his application will be looked upon
with favor. by the . county board
when same comes up for considera-
ton. During the four years he
held the Office when the county was
first organized he gave the people
almost universal satisfaction, and
The Tribune believes that a major
ity of the people will favor return
ing him to- the place. While we
admit that there might be some
people who would rather see some
one else appointed on account of
some grievance or imaginary grieV-
ance which they believe they might
have suffered during Mr.. Hecht's
former administration, we are per-
sonally satisfied that Mr.. Hecht in
all instances did what he thought
was right and just, and what he
thought would meet with the ap-
proval Of the most people. He nev-
er TOOK personalities into consid-
Grafton when any school work came
I'D before him. He did his best in
every particular, and will do his
best again in case he receives the
appointment. There never was
county superintendent of schools in
the state that left the Office without
some people thinking that he could
have done better. We, also know
of a large number of people who
voted against Mr.. Hecht four years
ago on account of misunderstand-
ing, but who would now work for
him. We honestly believe that Mr..
Hecht Is the proper man for the
place, and that with his former ex-
perience he could and would give
US better service than any other per-
son in the. county could.

MANY WHEAT FIELDS
SHOW BLACK RUST

A big majority of the wheat fields
in Burke county are now affected
with black rust. according to C. J..
Kopriva Of this city, who closely
examined about 20 fields west Of
town. The rust acts little differ
ent than that which hit this coun-
try in former years. The rust hits
the wheat stalk very low and the
Is on the roots, which in a few days
rot and look and smell good deal
like rotten potato. A short time
after the stalk is hit it falls down,
and cannot be gotten with a binder
Immediately after he saw mat his
field was affected Mr.. Kopr1va start
ed cutting same with binder. but
was stopped after few rounds by
the rain. Since the rust was nottc-
ed he has been unable to do hardly
any cutting on account of the con-
tinuous rain, and in. the meantime
the Russian thistles have been grow
ing at the rate of several inches q
day, and in many places in the field
are already higher than the wheat.
Last Monday Mr. Kopriva was at q
loss as to how to get the grain har-
vested. The thistles were as thick
as mat and he could get through
them only with great difficulty eth
er with a binder or mower. Other
farmers have been having the same
trouble. Much wheat was ready to
cut last week, and many farmers
started then. but were stopped by
the rain and are now having an
awful time going through the this
ties. Unless this wet weather stops
Immediately SO the farmers can cut
their grain the thistles will prevent
many from getting their crops cut
at all. In most cases the grain is
short and several weeks ago it look
ed very much as though 1t could be
harvested nicely with a header, but
after the thistles started coming
even a machine of this kind will not
be able to do the business properly.

"a MEN WILL LEAVE FOR
CAMP LEWIS WEDNESDAY

The Local Board for Burke coun-
ty received the schedule for en-
training "a selected men which
were called two weeks ago to move
during a five day period commenc-
ing on Aug. 26, and notices. were
Immediately sent out to all the men
who will leave under this call. The
boys have been called for Aug. 81,
and will leave the following morn
ing on the 500 for Camp Lewis,
Wash. After taking everything into
consideration the committees in
charge of the entertainment decided
not to hold as an elaborate celebra-
tion here in honor of the boys as
was held when men were sent under
former calls. The reason for this
is that the boys will leave during a
time when practically every able
bodied man in the county will be in
the harvest fields or working on a
threshing rig where he rightfully be-
longs, and it would not be right to
have a thousand or more men here
celebrating while the grain crops
were going to ruin. 1t was decided
that a banquet be given the boys
next Tuesday evening at six o'clock,
and this will be followed later by
a patriotic address delivered by some
good speaker, and a grand ball at
the conclusion of the address. Those
who want to honor the boys can
then work in their fields all day and
come into town after supper to help
give the boys the sendoff to which
they are entitled. Following is a
list of the boys who leave next We'd
