 From music of the birds. think God took woodland rose

 To make your baby curls-- Of ALL His treasures, ev'ry one, God makes his baby girls!

HAS STANDARD OIL
 LEASED ANY LAND?

The report is prevalent in Holbrook that the Standard Oil Company has secured an option on large acreage of patented land about 25 miles south- west of Holbrook, near 'Chevalon creek, with the intention of develop ing the property for oil. There is considerable excitement over the re- port among some of our oil seekers, and number have been securing about in the endeavor to learn of any ground in the immediate vicinity up- on which locations have not been filed.
 We have not been able to trace up the report to any authentic source, but the fact still remains that the Standard has been keeping an eye on every development of the district. It has it's men here at frequent intervals and there may be even more truth than fiction in the report that is go- ing about.-Holbrook Tribune

HORRIBLE MURDER IS
 BROUGHT TO LIGHT

Another desert murder has been brought to light by the confession of young man by the name of Thomp- son, who recently confessed to ex-sher- if Sam Gay of Las Vegas, Nevada, that he was present when a man by the name of William Taylor killed Charles H. Lyshon, on the desert near Phoenix, Arizona. From the confess sion, as told in the Las Vegas Age, we glean that Taylor and Lyshon were travelling companions and that while in Las Vegas they had some money trouble that ranked in the mind of Taylor. They went to Phoenix and remaining there few days, taking with them on their further trip boy named Thompson. A few miles out of Phoenix Taylor asked the young fellow to get out of the car and screw down the radiator cap. As soon as the boy got out of the car Taylor turned and shot Lyshon through the head with 45 calibre gun, killing him instantly. He then made the boy get in the car, and driving some dis tance off the road dug a grave and buried the murdered man. They then drove on to Mesa, where Taylor sold the car, Hudson supersix, for $1O0. Taylor, before burying Lyshon strip ped the body of clothes, took his watch and other effects and placed them in the car. After wandering around the towns of Arizona the two went back to Las Vegas, where the boy, through fear for his own safety, confessed the crime. Taylor was ar- rested and is in the Las Vegan jail awaiting investigation of the charges. Thompson is to show the officers where the body is buried near the Mesa road.

FOOD ADMINISTRATION
 NOT BE TRANSFERRED

The food administration makes the following statement:
 There is no truth in the statement that the food administration is to be transferred to the department of ag- riculture, nor has any bill been draft ed by the executive department to that end. The food administration will last by law until legal peace is declared by the president. It will then automatically dissolve except as to obligations entered upon, and these must and will be discharged, either by the food administration or by assign ing them to other departments of the government. In the meantime the food administration does not intend to relax it's efforts in any direction.
 The food administration itself con- siders that the law as at present framed is purely a war measure, and that it's major provisions have no place in the country except to serve war ends. Whatever congress may decide as to the continuation after peace of any of the measures now in force must be matter of special leg islation and the particular department that is to continue them will no doubt be determined at that time. The food administration in it's function of feed ing people abroad has a larger bur den after armistice than before and this burden will continue until next harvest. There will be plenty of time between armistice and peace to deter mine upon any detailed method of li- quidation of the war agencies of the government and what measures must be continued through the reconstruc- ton period.

"FLU" HITS APACHE HARD.

So terrible has the influenza become on the San Carlos Indian reservation that it is impossible to build collins in which to bury the dead. The h. dians are in fear of the disease, as much so as of the smallpox, and it is possibly this that has caused many to do things that brought on the disease instead of avoiding it. On the Nav" ajo reservation influenza has caused many deaths. It would seem that mortality is greater from this disease among the dark races than among the white, but possibly on account of greater precaution being taken by the whites.-Snowflake Herald.

WHEAT THE GREATEST GRAIN FOOD
CROPS OF THE WRITE RACES

The consumption of wheat has nearly doubled
IN the last forty years. In 1870 the wheat bread
eaters of the world numbered about 370,000,O00.
Now they number some 6o0,000o0o, or more
than one-third of the people of the earth, says
the State Marketing Bureau.
Wheat is the most sustaining food grain OF
the white races-the dominate people of the
earth There is a world scarcity of this necessary
grain. Under present conditions of low acre
Weld wheat cannot long retain its dominate
position among the foodstuffs of the civilized
world
Not many years ago, Sir VIM. Crookes, the
famous English Chemist, declared Wheat has
made us what we are He further said: IF
bread fails-not only US, but all the bread-eaters
Of the world-what we to do? We are born
wheat-eaters. Other races, vastly superior to US
lin numbers, but differing widely in material and
intellectual progress are eaters of Indian corn,
rice rnillet, and other grains; but none of these
grains have the food value, the concentrated,
Notwithstanding power of wheat, and it is on
this account that the accumulated experience
Il civilized mankind has set wheat apart as the
fit and proper food for the development of muscle
and brains
It is the one food grain possible of being held
longer for than any other and can be trans
ported with less loss than any other
1t will be noted that the government has asked
the American farmers to plant larger acreage
of wheat this winter than they ever planted be-
fore.
Florida has not been considered among the
wheat growing states, but experiments show that
wheat will grow in at least the northen half of
the state. The farmers of Jackson county have
pledged themselves to plant not less than a
thousand acres this winter. What are the far
mers of the other counties of the north half OF
the state going to do?
The farmers of Florida are loyal and pat
riotic as any in the union, and to plant little
wheat this fall may be an experiment but it is
one worth while.

The appeal then goes on to describe
the seizure of immense loot somewhere
on the eastern front. The government
admits that no catalogue of the trea-
sures can now be given out, but promi-
ses that every bit of it shall be dis
tributed solely to people who subscribe
to the eighth loan. All kinds of cloth

are said to be stored up, waiting TO be
transported to Austria.

ton, everything from a cup to a shirt;
from an automobile nail to a thraser;
from silk goods to furniture; from ,

everything abounds, and in large guam

The nurses for military service have
been enrolling through the Red Cross
since the United States entered the

effort put forth TO obtain nurses the
enrolment increased about threshold.
In order to meet the most recent re-
quest OF the surgeon general that rate
will not only have to be maintained
but increased materially. The SUR
geon generals call IS as follows:
in view Of the great need of the

there must be a proportionate increase

The army today is growing faster than
the nurse corps is increasing. and as
the armies overseas enter the front
line trenches in greater numbers, the
greater will be the need for nurses in
the army corps.

that I need today very material in

WAR INVENTORS ACTIVE

Amatuer inventors are turning their talents
to devices which they hope will annihllate the
enemy and win the Wharf.-The big majority work
ing in the field of aviation.
Great Britain has considered 5000 air inven-
tions in the past nine months and the number
submitted in this country is said to have been
somewhat larger Most of the suggestions were
worthless-many were ridiculous-but few
were valuable.
The government welcomes ideas that have
promise of merit, but owing to shortage of ma
terial and labor new types cannot be embarked
upon unless they possess defnites and immediate
superiority over existing types.
1t is appreciated that in present circum-
stances inventors are placed at a great disad-
vantage, because unless they are Immediately
connected with the air service with aircraft
manufacture it is almost impossible for them to
be acquainted with the most recent develop
ments; indeed, it is difficult even for those in
close contact to keep abreast of all the latest
improvements, so rapid has progress been.
Generally speaking, and SO far as the period
in the present type of aircraft is anticipated. A
stage has now been reached in design when
major improvements be expected only from
| those possessing the requisite scientific and me-
chanical knowledge, SKILL and experience. Thus
radical changes in the wings body, or air screws
are possible only after long and patient research
in aeronautical laboratories

LIBERTY LOAN INTEREST RATE

Secretary McAdoo has definitely announced
that the Fourth Liberty Loan bonds will bear
Ia per cent interest.
The Secretary has been insstent that the Gov
eminent interest rate should be stabilized at
Ia per cent He points out that a raise in the
rate of interest of only one-fourth of / per cent
on $4,000, 100000 of Government bonds would
mean an annual increase of $50, 900 900 in inter-
est charges, and that this money would have to
be raised by increased taxation and paid by the
people of the country. 1t would not be paid by
one class only, because there are consumption as
well as other kinds of taxes, and the consump-
ton taxes reach every class of people.
"As an intelligent people, said Secretary Nc
Adoo during the Third Liberty Loan campaign,
we should now make stand for the financing of
our Government during the period of this war at
stabilized rate of interest say at IA per cent
per annum, that all business and all invest
ments may be adjusted to that basis, and so that
we ourselves may protect ourselves against
successfully increased rates of interest on Gov
erment loans"
Neither our patriotism nor our support of the
Liberty Loans measured in fractions of per
cent.
