CONSERVATION OF PUBLIC OFFICE
 DEMANDED.

"When the county commissioners meet next Monday, it is understood an order will be passed for general tightening up on current expenditures. The order will call upon each department of the county administration to reduce expenses by cutting down the forces in each department to absolute necessity basis
 Judge E. B. McClintock said that in some departments of the county too many deputies and clerks were employed, and as a conse- quence some of the offices, instead of turning in excess collections to the county are not col lecting fees sufficient to meet the pay roll. The judge said 1t was the desire of the comnis sioners to cut the expenses of the administra ton down to the lowest possible minimum El Paso Times.
 The Copper Era emphatically endorses the sentiments expressed in the above, and the same will apply with equal force to Arizona counties, and Greenlee in particular But will our present Board of Supervisors heed this warning to conserve the public resources? That remains to be seen. At some time in the future the people are going to demand more economincal administration of the county's af. fairs, and when that time arrives those who have not needed the call in advance will be swept from the political map. Uncle Sam will eventually take hand
 The government is calling for the man power of the nation to be placed in the army and in the essential occupations, that this war may come to speedy end. Are we needing that call when we place some big husky felloA in job that can be held by any intelligent woman or dispensed with entirely? In normal times there is nothing amiss about giving a good position to some competent man. for ISL ally he is supporting a wife and family from his salary, but these are abnormal times and we are going through strenuous period with all patriotic pople conserving every individual resource that the Federal Government may amply finance the war, as well as place every able bodied man in some essential occupation. Why should the county not conserve its fnall- ces by reducing the public expenses to mini mum? It appears to the Copper Era that public institutions should be the first in conser. vation, otherwise the individual economy of the people will amount to nothing

 So, by this order it will be seen that those within the draft age can not only serve on exemption boards, but are inquired to, as a necessary occupation, and will, by reason of such employment, be placed in de ferred classes.

Today We Celebrate
Walter Wood, Pioneer OF the
Harvester.

Among the many men who share In
the honor of the invention and devel-
opment OF the marvellous machines
which sing the harvest-song n the
grain fields of h world, not the least
entitled to credit is Walter Wood.
whose 1881 anniversary will be re-
membered today In his native town OF
Mason. N. H., and in Hoosick Falls,
N. Y, where he spent h greater part
of his life, and where in died in 1892.
Wood was born Oct. 20, 1915. and
while still a boy turned his attention 10
the improvement of agricultural ma
chinery. He was only eleven years
old when a Scotch clergyman. the Rev.
Patrick Bell. invented the first har-
vester. The tidings of this invention
soon spread to America, and the idea
was seized upon Immediately by fer
tile minds. Harvesting machinery was
brought to it's greatest state of perfec-
ton IN this side of the Atlantic. and,
although he did not rank among the
first in this line of endeavor. Wood
patented about thirty remarkable I'M
provements, many of which are still In
use.
The first reaping machine known
was used more than eighteen centuries
ago, in the shape of knives set n the
end of a cart which was pushed along
by oxen. and the wheat thus cut. II
was not until the second quarter of the
last century. however. that the reaper
and the mower gained their ascend
ency over the sickle and The fail.
Obed Hussey. Abraham Randall and
Cyrus Fl. Mccormick were the pho
neers in the manufacture of the mod
ern harvesting machinery, although
all of them owed a debt of gratitude
to the Scotch clergyman, Patrick Bell.
The Hussey machine cut a harvest In
1882, and the Randall machine was
| first practically used in 1898. while
Mccormick patented his machine in
1884. In the following year Wood
moved to Hoosick Falls and estab-
! lished himself as a manufacturer OF
| harvesting machinery.
For a decade the Hussey machine
was supreme. In the '40s Cyrus III
Mccormick brought suits against his
competitors. but the practical defeai
of his patents in the courts left a clear
field for competition, and many fac
tories sprung up.
i Then came the modern self binder
the development of the ideas o.
Charles w. and William w. Marsh
A great many of the pioneer harvest
Ing machine producers share the hon
ors Of this development with tn
