NEWMAN WAS A
 COURTEOUS LOSER

It is most remarkable that every time democrat gets defeated for of- flee the howl goes up for fraud; but when republican gets defeated, no matter how small the majority, he quietly passes out without any noise. Sheriff Newman was defeated by only 13 votes, but when the official count was completed, he congratulated his successful opponent, and openly de- clared he expected all his friends to give the new official hearty support, and those who did not do so were no friends of his. Newman has made the best sheriff Navajo county ever had, and he will retire from office with the good will of all citizens without regard to politics.-Winslow Mail.

BREAD AND BUTTER
 RULES ARE VIOLATED

The sugar bowls must still be kept off the tables of public eating houses and the regulations limiting the amount of bread and butter which may be served must be closely ob- served, according to a wire received from the United States food admins tration by the state headquarters at Phoenix.
 A recent announcement through the press that all sugar regulations were to be removed by December 1 is al- together to sweeping, food admins tration officials say. Under the new orders, it is explained Sdealears and manufacturers are no longer required to obeain their supplies on sugar cer- tificates, and the honor system of rationing households is no longer re- quired.
 A definite ration per capita is still in effect, however, the individual con- sumption being limited to four pounds per person per month beginning De- cember 1. This is regarded as repre- senting normal consumption without waste or overindulgence.
 Reports have been received by the food administration that the bread and butter rules are being grossly violat- ed. In circular letter sent to local chairmen of the hotel and restaurant division attention is called to the fact that the general orders requiring that not more than two ounces of white bread and not more than one-half of butter be served to any one person at any one meal remain unchanged and that violators stand in danger of hav- ing their federal licenses revoked or of other penalties of the food control act.

NICK PERKINS, LION KILLER.

Nick Perkins bagged a large moun- tain lion the other day, after two days hunt. The recent snow made trailing comparatively easy, but the lion travelled rapidly and it was only after following the big cat with horses for all of one day and with doge the following day, that he was finally treed in Tulle canyon, just south of Pine Flats. The lion was ex- ceptionally big and was credited with having killed many colts and calves in the country about the flats.-Wil- Hams News.

OFFICERS TRAINING SCHOOL
 AT UNIVERSITY CLOSED

Orders were received Wednesdaysat the University for the demobilization of the Students Army Training Corps between the 1st and Fist of December. The Vocational School will be demobilized between the same dates.
 The orders for the demobilization of the s. A. T. came as a surprise as it was expected that the government would continue it for the balance of the school year. The University will be reimbursed for the expenditures made to house the corps. About ST. 900 has been expended for dormitories and other equipment. The money was provided by drawing on emergency funds.

DEADLY WEED DISCOVERED.

Losses of hundreds of sheep and cattle by stock raisers in San Juan county, N. M., were explained when the county agent discovered the whirl- ed milk weed and its poisonous prop critics. The agent pointed out the plant to farmers and stockmen.
 Several meetings were held to plan how to meet the danger, and commit tees were appointed to inspect every part of La Plata district which in- cludes 10000 acres. By helping the stockmen to locate and avoid the weed the agent hopes that serious loss will be avoided.

OUR CASUALTY LIST.

While, as shown by the foIIowlng list, the casualties in our overseas forces thus far reported amount to but ,390, it is understood that the toll during the last few days of the fighting period was unusually heavy and may increase these figures to about 90,000. .
 Although America deeply regrets loss of so many of its brave young men, still it is source of gratifica- tion that, as compared with the losses of the other countries actively engag- ed in the war, our casualty list is ex- ceedingly small.

HIT ON 4 FRONTS
Americans on TOul Front Soon
Silence Enemy Guns.
Huns Run From Position, Car
rying Artillery With Them.

tBy tne AsSoclateu I7resSf
With the American Army in France.
Tuesday. March 19.-American artil-
lery on the Toul front has heavily at
tackled the Germans with gas shells
during the past day or SO, it is now
permitted to announce. Four differ
ent attacks were launched and from
the manner in which the enemy was
silenced, it is evidenced they had the
desired effect.
During one period when the gas
shells were flying over the enemy lines
last night a German airplane with a
red tail light appeared over the
American lines and dropped a red
rocket, for what purpose 1t is not
known. However, shrapnel from
American anti-air craft batteries burst
so near the German Immediately
afterward that he was forced to fly
for his own lines in a hurry. Last
night the enemy observation tower
and positions on Montsec were shelled
heavily and heavy fire was directed
against the enemy lines this morning.
Germans Fled Quickly.
At noon today the enemy opened a
lively fire on one of the American
positions with 81 millimeter guns
from the cemetery at Richecourt. The
American guns of the same caliber
came into action and after they had
fired fifty shells the Germans ran
=
with them. The American guns then
shelled the village of La Hayville,
where two heavy explosions appar-
emily of munition stores. were caused.
The German artillery directed most
of its attention to dropping few gas
shells into one or two towns within the
American lines and Smelling a cross
roads known as Deaths Corner, dur
ing the day and night.
Found Hun Trenches Empty.
Last night American patrols entered
the German front lines at two points
but did not see single eInemy soldier.
altho they hunted some time Another
patrol remained in the enemy wire en-
tanglements all night, hoping to am
bush an expected enemy party. but it
did not appear.
A third patrol party was discovered
by the Germans who hurled hand
grenades and forced the Americans to
withdraw. Still another esta blished
contact with an enemy patrol and a
few shots were exchanged The
Americans came thru unscathed. but
it is not known what happened to the
Germans.
Many airplanes were up until it be-
gan to rain at noon. One airplane
from the rear of the American line
drove off two boche machines after a
thrilling battle in and out of the
clouds. Another airplane was engaged
against German when second Ger
man joined in the fight. A second
friendly airman came up to assist but
it was too late, for the airplane the
Americans hoped would be victorious
fell to the ground within the enemy
lines.
On the sector east of Luneville the
artillery continues active. and a few
American patrols have coached the
enemy lines. One party encountered
an enemy patrol and forced the Ger
mans to withdraw after sharp skirm-
ish.
A certain Irish regiment was
bombarded heavily today with big
shells Reports from both the Lune-
Vile and Toul sectors say that more
German gas projectile batteries have
been discovered and blown to bits by
the American gunners.

PROFITEERING IN GRAIN
Federal Probe Due! Firm Made
100000 in Rye Advance.

Minneapolis, Mimi, March 90
Rumors of vast fortunes made in
grain profiteering will result in fed
eral investigation, food administra-
ton officials admitted today. Every
dealer in Minneapolis will be asked
to make a statement of all transac-
tions in rough grains since ,Decem-
Der 1.
Orc firm alone is reported to have
made 100000 on the sharp advance
in rye. Immediately after the food
administration ordered use of wheat
substitutes as a patriotic move, rough
grain prices scared Rumors said
some firms had secured options on
vast supplies of substitute grains, just
before the price advance. 1t was
either to confirm or dissipate these
reports that grain men themselves
asked for an investigation.
