PLAN PARK OF GRAND
 CANYON OF COLORADO

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. - Con- gross seems at last about to make the Grand Canyon of Arizona Ma ;icnal park. For years the canyon has been quite generally regarded as a park, but officially it is a section of two national forests, a game ref ugc and national monument.
 Tt has never been managed as part of the park system, and has never been susceptible of develop pgcnt as such" saws the house public lands committee. in reporting favor ably a senate Sill that would dedicate o5O square miles-60O000 acres-in northern Arizona. as Grand Canyon National Park. This magnificent gorge should now take its place as a link in the national park chain which already includes most of the nations

wonderful and extraordinary natural features"
 IL was thirty-two years ago last January that the first bill to make the Grand Canyon a national park was introduced in the senate by the late cx-PreSident Benjamin 7 Harrison then a senator from Indiana. Since then the proposal has been presented to congress from time to time.
 'lt appears that there never has been valid objection advanced against it, declares Secretary Lane, lin a statement favoring the project Nor can such an objection be urg- ed. because the Grand Canyon be- longs to the federal government and any attempt to thwart change in its status. which would distinctly re- dound to its advantage must be by some private interest.
 Private resources have accomplish ed limited development. Thousands Of tourists visit the canyon annually, but due to the lack of roads, trails and side trip destinations the throngs have little opportunity to enjoy in full measure the marvellous grandeur of the region.
 Less than 400 of the 100000 acres that the proposed legislation would place m the park are now in private ownership. these things held in small parcels near the rim. Obviously. the greater part of the land lies within the enormous gulf, measuring at some points 20 miles across the top. Sufficient land is to be included, back oi the north and south rms. to make possible road development and to care for camping and hotel facilities

According to a letter received a CIV days ago from France, it seems probable that Roy Diskin, with the l5Sth regiment, will not return to Prescott after the war is over. He ;tates he is learning the French language and is also learning to love
 he French-girls. In closing he says: Must admit I have been wean- cd over in the past few months; my worl, is agreeable and the country is now attractive: don't know whether I'll hit the trail for HaSsayampa ,ountry or not: it is certainly fine to 1c an American overhere."

POWELL FORD ITEMS.

Mr.. and Mrs. F. B. Cook and fam
lily had very narrow escape during
the heavy wind March 9th They
were in their car going along the
road when large tree blew down
near Powell Ford bridge, in front of
them and the Limb caught on the
telephone wire and pulled a tele-
phone post down just back of them.
1t certainly was good to see SO
many nice things at the Red Gross
sale Saturday in Mexico.
M. N. Powell delivered a mule
colt to Robert Carr, near Bethel
Church, Saturday.
A branch of the Red Cross will
meet with Mrs. F. B. Cook Wednes-
day of this week
GroverDowell of this vicinity gave
horse to the Red Cross which was
sold at the Carter sale.
Some put in their oats last week
others have not yet commenced but
expect to get them in this week,
Some are plowing for corn.
We were sorry to hear of Miss
Mildred Cooks getting her arm bro
ken. Hope it may be all right in a
few weeks.
We were sorry to hear of Mr.
shrout's accident in Mexico, but are

A we'll known farmer near Mexico
writes The Message as follows:--I
saw an article in The Message in re-
gard to seed corn from the State Ung'
versity calling attention to the out
side Of the corn ear which appears
sound and solid but the trouble is
at the germ-end of the grain, the
freeze weakening it, IL not entirely
destroying 1t.
Now, under the test system, which
is usually conducted under favorable
conditions It shows that those bad
grains are scattered all over the
ear, that will test 20 and so per cent
good strong stalks. The Govern
ment is advising to plant your own
seed, or corn grown in your section
of country, even IL not quite so good
as that you might buy from a dis
tance, on the theory that It does not
produce as well for year or two
What are we to do If 1t is not safe

pecially as they may not have any
better than is found near home? The
thing TO do is examine your corn
now, see what you have, test it your
own way, the way you have formerly
found successful Now here is where
newspaper advertising should come
in. Let us know what you have.
Select the best, shell it, and after
stirring and mixing take a handful
and drop 100 or 200 grains into a
box, or sack, or any heavy cloth,
to hold the moisture, and cover with
cloths; keep moist and in a warm
place This method is preferable to
testing in soil, since you can see what
each grain has done. If you get 80
per cent, deduct per cent, calling
II rs per cent, plant onefourth more
than is required for sand, and un
der fair weather you likely will get
a good stand. Do not expect much
under unfavorable conditions for
that rots good corn, as all farmers
know.

School authorities should arrange
the work of boys who enlist in the

ice.
A boy may be released from service

Here is an opportunity for every

He is needed just as much in the

former will be given badge when he

FOUR SOLDIER BOH LETTERS.
Concluded from page 1.)


Lee, a young attorney from Topeka,
who has had marked success both
with officers and men, was sent to
open up a foyer here just before
Christmas. l found my French CO.
director, who had arrived the day be-
fore, i'll with grip--no equipment, no
place to sleep or eat and blizzard
in full blast. The creature comforts
CD were found with some French
refugees in a deserted house of
which they had taken possession
when their own village was destroy
ed. After putting my sick French
man to bed l turned in by the light
of my electric torch, as even a can
die was not toN be had My refugee
friends had the idea firmly fixed
that my ability to understand them
depended on their lung capacity.
Next morning ] set out for an
ancient French town not far away
town in which one of the decisive
battles of the world was fought.
1t was occupied by Germans at the
beginning of this war. l brought
back a Christmas tree with tinsel
and candles, a phonograph, pock-
etbooks, knives, pipes, mirrors and
other small presents for the poilus.
We opened the foyer next day,
Christmas, with our 'Fete de Voil. "
"The foyer is made of two regular
French army barracks connected by
short covered passageway furnish
ed with tables and benches. The
benches are like the ones in the
backwoods schoolhouse, the sets
made of split logs with the fiat side
up. Here we furnish light and heat
both luxuries for the soldier-pa-
per, pens, ink, games (indoor and
OUT, illustrated papers, books, hot
chocolate and occasionally the NOV
les, or amateur vaudeville put on by
the French soldiers.
American ambulance, boys near
here have been working up an Amer
ican minstrel show, but were order
ed to the front line this morning.
However, the 'Malgaches,' or black
troopers fro Madagascar, have
come to the rescue with their or
chestra CD, composed of three sim
pie reeds and stops and two drums.
They will play, sing and dance for
us tonight
Their music is much like that of
the American Indians little of it
goes a long way The first time
played the phonograph for them one
of them seemed to think the Evil
One had his number He tried to
hide behind others more brave than
he.
"Then l put on laughing record
and he nearly expired-so did his
French comrades and 1. We also
have troops here from &, good
workers. An ambulance friend Sc
lected a big one, put the boxing
gloves on him and challenged all
comers, black or ia but there were
no takers.
"At my first foyer the 145's were
behind us and shot over our heads.
Here we are further back, but still
have the boom of the guns for COM
pany, and air battles are fought over
our heads, A week ago / saw a
French sausage balloon brought
down in blaze by a German air
plane"
