permaneut homes for its employees has
been submitted to the District Council OF

to build homes Let each member tuf-
nish his own plans. and let the District
Council of Defense advertise for bids and
award the contract for all the houses to

terials The council could use rs au-
thority in assisting the contractor 10 Sc

In replying to the proposition William
n. Baldwin, chairman OF the counci! SAID
that while he believed that with proper
management such a plan could be worked
out to advantage. the council is not IN
position at present. either IN orSaniza-
tion or funds. to take il up Mr.. BALDWIN
Informed the employe he would he glad
to bear the plan in mind in case an op-
po-t,lnity TO carry it out should present
itself.
Every government empioye VINO would
build a home under this plan would
have to agree to take in certain
number of the new federal clerks who
have come here to do war work.

Could Meet Needs.

Miss Gi1lett expressed the belief that
such women as those who answered
her ad. while not expert stenographers
and typists. could meet in many re-
spects the needs of lawyers and
others.
II was surprised at the ability in
dicated in the replies" said Miss Gill
lett. I'm all twenty-three letters only
two words were misspelled. and the
penmanship and English were eXcep-
tionally good. Surely these women.
despite their lack Of knowledge of
stenography and typewriting, could be
of valuable assistance in the office OF
man who needs clerical help in these
war times
1t is more than likely that the sug-
gestion to urge elderly women to seek
positions as filing clerks to meet the
shortage of trained office workers will
be taken up by various women's or
ganizations in the city interested in
the employment problem.

CAME OVER 70 ITS FRIENDS
Eagle in France Quickly Naturalized
When Made Prisoner, and Went
Into Battle Against Huns.

This story is told by Stars and
Stripes. the American army paper
printed in France:
On Bastille day group of French
and Yanks were celebrating in little
town not far behind the lines. The
Yanks were doing their part by pitch
ing small coins into & tin can when a
big eagle swooped Down from the
north and ahghted on the ridgepole
of barn. He was so black and rapa-
cious and altogether militaristic in ap-
pearance that he looked as though he
might have flown squarely out of the
Prussian coat of arms.
Fritz, la!" shouted a French sol
der, and the game stopped.
Somebody got a net, and somebody
else got up oil the roof. The net was
too short and the eagle just looked at
it, yawned and went to sleep. A young
French soldier who started a second
offensive was foiled When the eagle
awoke and flew lazily to neighboring
roof. Another tried. This time the
eagle Topped off and alighted Oh the
American billet.
He seemed to think he was safe
there, or perhaps he didn't mind, for
the next attempt to snare him sue
ceeded.
That night the battle began. A rain
Of shell fell on the town as Yank and
French went up into tbs line. And
Fritz-la went in, too. He had be.

TRUTH STRANGE AS FICTION
Counterpart in Real Life-Story
of Englishman.

A little more than ten years ago an
Englishman, deep in the sixties, won
great renown by going to a hospital.
His illness, though severe, was ordi-
nary enough. The use he made of his
convaleScence distinguished him.
Propped up in bed, William De Nor
gan wrote his first novel. When he
was entirely recovered, he wrote an
other, which was destined to carry on
his fame around the reading world.
The book told the story Of an engi-
neer returned to London after many
adventures. There mishap in the
tube caused him to lose his memory.
In the dazed state he lived a new life.
By chance he met his former wife, fell
in love with her and married her again.
Strange as was De Morgan's tale
critics said only he could make 1t con-
vincing-London itself has duplicated
it from life.
John Arthur Lewis, q returned sol.
der, was lately hailed into court for
absconding with money he had col.
lected for his employers.
His innocence was easily proved. On
the collecting trip he had been struck
by van and injured. Bsreft Of his
memory he wandered over England,
arrived at his old home, and was In
troduced by his mother p 4 young
woman, said to be his wife.
He refused to accept hiSabast until
one night the German, airmen. dropped
bombs, and the shock Of the explosion
restored his memory. Then all came
back, even the uncompleted days
work Of last August.
History here mOdifies the aAcient OBJ
servation as to truth and fiction. Truth
is not stranger than goNd writing.
Rather the artist senses probably
ahead Of the facts and later reality
corroborates him. Who knows not at
least one Enoch Arden? Tennyson
guessed them all.

Sheriff Il. r. Earhart Has Done
His Full Duty Wherever
Placed, and is Entitled to Re
Election.

The uniform success and sig
nal ability with which all Off
cial duties have been perform
ed by Mr.. r. R. Earhart, thu
present sheriff of Santa Cru;
county, now democratic nomi
nee for reelection, mark him a.
once as the right kind of a MAJ
to be retained in public office b.
a community which appreciates
good service.
MI. Earhart has resided il
Santa Cruz county about a doz-
en- years. And he has been I'm
der the observation of the public
all that time-first as a trusted
employee of a mining enterprise
and laterly as a public func-
tionary. Mr.. Earhart came
mere to fill the post as maste;
mechanic for the Mowry Mines
Company, at the time Mr.. J. N.
Curtis was general manager
and he remained in that plact
until litigation threw the prop
,rty into the courts, when he
vas placed in charge as tbs
courts keeper. About the time
after employment terminated
MI. Earhart was discovered by
he Democratic Party to be good
political timber; and he was
nominated for county treasurer
Pitted against one of the bes,
Known and very popular republi
cans in the county he made /;
strong run, and was elected, but
~ a rub only; and he was
obliged to defend his title to th(
office in a contest suit in court
which he won. Then when i
came to the next election he
vas without an opponen,
md was elected by a strict par
" vote. No republican would
run against him.
Two years ago Mr.. Earhar!
was elected sheriff, beating 8
very popular republican who
lad held the office two terms.
In his conduct of the office
Mr.. Earhart has made good, and
le has enforced the law with.
Tut fear or favor. His re

your question on the subject,
have to say that there is moth.
ing in the suggested disqualifi
cation Of Senator Golfer as :
candidate for the office of gov.
ernor, to which he has been
nominated by his party:
Subsection 5 of section 2 OF
article " of the Arizona Con
stitution, upon which the said
supposition is founded, reads as
follows, viz: "No member OF
the legislature during the term
for which he shall have been
elected, shall be appointed or
elected to any civil o ffice of
profit under this state which
shall have been created, or the
emoluments Of which shall have
been increased, during said
term"
Section IL of article 2 of the
Wisconsin constitution relating
to the same subject is as fol-
lows, viz: ''No member of the
legislature shall, during the
term for which he was elected,
be appointed OF elected to any
civil office in the state which
shall have been created, or the
emoluments whereof shall have
been increased during the term
for which he was elected" and
in the case of State VS.. Boyd 81

that the said constitutional pro
vision did not disqualify a men,

AFTER HIS ELECTION TO

that decision the supreme court
of Wisconsin was presided over

bers were of like character.
True, Chapter 81 Senate Bill
No. 77)) of the laws of Arizo-
ma, 1917. increased the salary
of the governor to $4,000, and
the said law was sought to be
made effective (from and after
its passage) by means Of an
emergency clause, but such at
tempt was ABORTIVE under
subsection II of said section 2
of article ", above cited, which
provides as follows: "Nor shall
the compensation of any public
officer be increased or diminish
ed during his term of office
