News of Interest Gathered Here and There i1 tue State
What Women War Workers Wear.

For some time past a number of women have been employed in the local Santa Fe shops, and clad in over alls they are rapidly acquiring a pro ficiency that is surprising to the heads of the several departments. One of the latest acquisitions is Mrs. Ellen Hitchcock Ames, member of widely known family of Santa Fe officials. who has taken a position in the shops to do her "bit" while her husband is with the army in France. She is the daughter of Master Mechanic Hitch cock, niece of J. R. Hitchcock, super intendent of the Santa Fe California lines, and niece of several other off cials. Mrs. Ames formerly lived in Los Angeless Her husband, Max Ames, was division accountant at San Marcial. They were married in San Bernardino last year, and shortly thereafter Mir. Ames left with rail- road unit for France. Mrs. Ames is filling mans place by choice, and is being paid the regular wage of 43 cents an hour as worker in the air brake department.-Winslow Mail.

with the secretary of agriculture, they will leave four seed trees per acre, or 2,560 merchantable trees per square mile, having a total volume of 10 per cent of the estimated stand of timber. The slash and debris from logging will be pulled away from these trees to distance of 30 feet, and fire lines 200 feet wide will surround each sec tion and border every railway spur. The company agree to protect the land from fire during their operations. This added protection will do away with a serious fire menace to adjoining na- tional forest lands.
 In return, the right to cut the re- mainder of the merchantable timber, which would have expired in 1926, was extended. by Congress to the year 1850. This agreement is not yet exe- cuted owing to delay in determining the exact status of the lands to which these rights apply, but the company has consented in writing to put its terms into force at once, thus putting an end to the clear cutting of the gov ernment lands within the forest, on which they hold the rights to cut.
 The concessions secured by the United States by this arrangement will be the means of preserving the forested conditions of these lands, and will give the greatest possible chance of securing reproduction of pine.
 These timber rights sections were originally ceded to the old Atlantic and Pacific Railway on July 27, 1886, as land grant, comprising odd num- bered sections on a wide strip. The lands passed into private ownership and the right to cut the mature tim Der was reserved, originally by the

AFTER OVER 35 YEARS BABBITT
 BROTHERS FORM CORPORATION

After having been in the general trading business in Arizona for more than thirty-five years, during which time as firm it has grown to become one of the largest in the Southwest, with notifications that reach into all most every branch of trade and in dustry in Arizona, Babbitt Brothers filed articles of incorporation in the office of the State Corporation Com mission last week.
 Under the name of the Babbitt Brothers Trading Company, this old firm incorporates with capital stock of $5 ,O00,O in 50,000 shares of $100 each. Of the $5,000,000 capital stock, $2,000,000 is preferred stock and $3,000,000 common. The officers and directors of the Babbitt Brothers Trading Company include the five brothers as follows: David Bobbitt, president; c. J. Babbitt, vice presi- dent; George Rabbit, secretary and treasurer; William Babbitt and Ray mond Babbitt. The brothers make their home in Flagstaff, which is given as the principal place of busi- ness of the new corporation.
 | In incorporating it's was the desire of the brothers to retain, if possible, the old name, Babbitt Brothers, by which it has been known for many years. However, according to the laws of Arizona, the title of corporation must, in way, distinguish it's busi- ness. That was had to do in the case of Babbitt Brothers, as that firm is engaged in many different lines of business, including livestock, mercan- tile, banking, automobile and tractor, farm implements, real estate, meat packing, cold storage and ice, electric light power, lumber and numerous other lines. In order to embrace them all, the name of Babbitt Broth CTS Trading Company finally was de- cided upon.
 This title is peculiarly fitting, as it is descriptive of the firm when it first started business in Arizona, trading with the Indians. Even to this day Babbitt Brothers still have trading posts in some of the Indian reserva- tions. far from a railroad. Phoenix Republican.

railroad, and was finally bought by the Saginaw and Manistee Lumber Company. The private interests which had acquired these lands ceded or re- conveyed the lands to the United States in 1902 under the lieu selection law then in force. The timber rights were reserved in this agreement, but only until 1926.
 The company has found it very ex- pensive to log only the alternate sec- tions, which was their first plan of operation and of late years has pur- chased the intervening national forest timber as they reached these sections with their logging railroads. But they discovered that unless they logged ex- clusively on their own land they would not have time to complete the cutting before the expiration of their rights. The extension of rights to 1850 en- ables he company to plan their log ging economically, and materially re- duce their logging costs. In return, the forest service is enabled to market its timber, which would otherwise be left inaccessible by removal of the railway, and secures as seed trees 10 per cent of the timber on all the Sag inaw and Manistee lands.
 The company will relinguish its rights on each section within two years after it is cut over, and by 1850 the government will again be in full possession of these timber lands, un- encountered by cutting rights.
 Of the area affected by these tim Der rights of 80,000 acres, about one half has already been cut over, and the timber rights will be finally relin- quished to the United States as soon as the agreement is executed.

GOVERNMENT AyIATORS
 TO FLY AT PHOENIX

Immediately following his return from San Diego, where he went to confer with Lieut.. Col. Burwell, com manding officer of Rockwell aviation field, Secretary C. D. Boyce of the State Fair Commission announced that two government airplanes would be sent to Phoenix for the purpose of making exhibition flights during fair week.
 Not content with securing this great attraction, Secretary Boyce has set out to secure the greatest possible at traction for the people of Arizona nohing less, in fact, than the presence during the Fair of Lieut.. Frank Luke, the sensational young Arizona flyer who, by his daring exploits recently in France, has earned the title for him. self of the American ace of aces.
 Boyce does not wish the impression to become prevalent that Lieut.. Luke will positively be here fair week, for it is not assured. However, he does wish the people of Arizona to know that every effort will be made to bring the young Arizona hero home to fly during fair week for the people of his native state. Letters have already been written to the Arizona delegation in Congress and to the War Depart ment to ascertain if it will be possible to have Luke here fair week. A def mite reply should be received shortly.
 If it is impossible to secure Lieut.. Luke, Colonel Burwell has assured the fair officials that the pick of the gov- ernment aviators who are now in, the United States will be sent to Phoenix to demonstrate just how our boys in France are conquering the Boche fly ing men.

But Cambrai is only one of the Sec

Ihese local efforts by the enemy were
carried out in the Ypres sector and
around Armentieres, between Yrres and
Arras, but at all points they were
thrown back, with heavy losses to che
attackers. In the Champagne sector,
northwest of Verdun and north of St.

in the capture of several Germans when
their advance was shattered, and the
Belglans took prisoners in a raid north
of Dixmude.
Germany's official version of the days

fact that "the British artillery was di-
rected against villages in the rear and
claimed numerous victims among the
French population" An artillery duel
of heavy character also is reported in
the region between the Lys and the

Bolsheviki Here
De1aounce Plan to
Invade Siberia
Russia Fights German Inn
perialism Harder Than
Allies, Says l. w. w.

Bolshevist orators born in Russia,
Japan, Italy and America last night
voiced vehement protests against a
Japanese invasion Of Russia. How,
they argued, could Slav democracy pos
sibly benefit by the military aggression
of Japan, next to Germany the most
autocratic government in the world :?
Whereupon the three thousand Social
lists who crowded Star Casino, Park
Avenue and 10th Street, voted unani-
mously to protest to President Wilson
and to labor organizations in Great
Britain, France, italy, Switzerland and
Holland against japanese intervention.
The meeting further "resolved, that
in this crisis we urge TIE President of
the United States to recognize fully
and completely the Council of Peoples
Commissaries and the Sovicts as the
only legitimate and actual government
of Russia"
Louis G. Fraina, organizer of the
Bolshevist Bureau of information
under whose auspices the meeting was
held, presided. 1t was with pride that
he announced:
"ln Russia to-day we have for the
first time in history government of
the lowest class of society. 1t is a
government OF the oppressed who alone
can adequately represent the interests
OF workers."
Miss Louise Bryant, who recently re-
turned from Russia, expressed the con-
viction that the Bolsheviki were the
greatest enemy to German or any other
autocracy the world has ever known.
IF the Russian mediators at Brest-
Litovsk had only been able to string
out the peace negotiations a month or
two longer" she said, "they would
have wrecked the Imperial German
government"
In fiery speech Arturo Giovanitti
Italian poet and l. W. w. agitator, said:
We are here for the purpose Of de-
Tending the Russian bear from the
eagle on the one side and from the
dragon on the other. The cream and
