When Ts Lay-Hy.

The question of when to iay-by corn is always important and will depend upon the character of soil and the sea, son. On good sells where weeds ara kept fairly well under control it is questionable whether cultivation giv- en after the corn Is waist-high is of much value. On ordinary soils when the moisture supply is determining factor it is ordinarily best to continue cultivation until the corn is tasseIling.

EDITORIAL IS MISLEADING

The Douglas international in its issue of last Thursday evening, contained the fol- lowing editorial:
 "All contracts have been let for the county road work to be done on the high way between Douglas and Benson, as result of the million-dollar bond issue in this county When this bond money has been spent there will yet remain much road work to be done in this county which will soon cause urgent demand for another bond issue.
 This would lead one to believe that all of the million dollar bond issue was to be spent on the road from Douglas to Ben son. Such is not the case. The issue as submitted to the voters at the time ot the bond election specified what road, were to be built. Besides the road mentioned from Douglas to Benson, it provides for the building of a road from Gleason to Wilcox which will go through Pearce, Servoss, Co chise and then to Wilcox It also provides that road be graded east from Doulgas to Bernardino and for steel bridge across the bed of Silver creek. Now that the ban has been lifted, the Cochise county high way commission will take steps to advertise for bids for the construction of this work. The county road taxes will provide addi- tional funds for the construction ot lot of other roads in the county without the immediate issuance of other bonds.

FOOD OR FAMINE

Notwithstanding the war has ended, its close sees the world faced with one prob lem whose nature is not of the kind that can be evaded by humanity, says the Uni ted State employment service bulletin.
 Spelled in its shortest, ugliest form, that problem is Famine. After the war part ot the aftermath which faces mankind may adjust itself almost naturally; part may wait for adjustment, but the question ot food supply will do neither
 Evidently it will be the merciful duty ot America, above any other country, to feed the world for many months after the war flags are furled. The problem is gigantic; faint idea of its magnitude is gathered from the increased demands on the re- sources of our husbandmen resulting from every town and village won back from German domination.
 The plans for unit farm-labor supply organization within each state, now being worked out by the United States employ ment service, look directly toward the com ing need. What the service has done al ready in finding men for the farms has won universal praise. But great as 1t ls' what has been accomplished is small com pared with the problems ahead.
 The solution, as in the past, will be found in ungrudging cooperation with the employment service when the demand comes In that cooperation all must play their part.

stroyed everything connecting man with higher ideal than brute force and animal ism-these things could not condone our offense if we, in the role of the conqueror, should turn upon the womanhood and childhood of Germany.
 Such is not the intention of the allies Every indication points to the underlying spirit of Christianity and fair play that will mark our dealings with Germany and her non-combatants.
 General Petain, commander-in-chiet ot the French army, displayed this feeling in his order of the day in which he gave just due to the valor and virtue of his country men.
 You are to remain under discipline and to show respect to persons and property You will know, after having, vanquished your adversary by force of arms, how to impress him further by the dignity of your attitude and the world will not know which to admire most, your conduct in success, or your heroism in fighting.
 When Frances military chief gives such instructions to his men, 1t is certain that strict fairness will mark the course ot the French nation to her fallen foe.
 The appeal may appear to some ot our people to have been unnecessary in view of the evident inclination of America and the allies to deal with magnanimity with our former foe. However, it can do no harm and may have the effect of getting food to suffering non-combatants in Ger many and Austria, more swiftly than other wise would have been considered possible.
 But however much we pity the non-com- batants of the central powers in their sui fering, we must not forget our people ot France, Belgium and other territory de- vastated by Germany military machine.

For Our Boys

If you knew that a few dollars would keep your boy happy and contented and occupied with healthy thoughts and ideals, you would spend them quickly, would you not?
 That is what united war work means and that is why everyone should be glad to go down in his pocket and give his money to this great cause.
 The army of the United States is com posed of our boys, whether we actually have blood relative on the firing line or no. They are ours for they have stood between us and the intimate danger ot Hun victory with all that this means to the na- ton and the civilized world. We who have been held safe behind the bulwark of their living bodies, can do no less than minister to their needs, now that peace has come
 Not only will the agencies tor which funds are sought afford amusement tor the men, but also they will give them educa- ton along lines that will fit them better to step into civil life Many a man who has been handicapped by lack of learning Tn civil life, before becoming soldier, will don the clothing of civilian equipped to take new and better position as result of this tutelage.
 Such thing as denominationalism IS un- known in the army or in anything connect ed with the army. A chaplain personally may belong to any sect or creed, yet among the soldiers he must hold general religious services So. in the broad field occupied by the seven agencies ot united war work, the sort of religion or sectarian- ism represented by any of them occupies very subordinate position. They operate upon such broad plane that it is not un- heard of, in fact, it is quite common, tor a lew to hold his religious service in the Y. M. C. A. or for the Baptist or Methodist to hold services in the Catholic or Jewish building.
 Any narrow horizon of religious pre- iudice has been passed in the general et- fort to accomplish the greatest possible good for every man serving under our flag, whether it be along moral, mental or physical lines.

belief is growing that President Will son will attend, but not in the capacity of a delegate or commission er It is known that Secretary Lans- ing will head the American commits sion and Col. B. M. House, Justice Louis Brandeis and Elihu Root, former secretary of state, were mentioned as others likely of selection. Besides the delegates a number of army and navy officers must be named to assist the commission. In that connection attention has been directed to the names of Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, former chief of staff and now representative on the supreme war council; Maj. Gen. Enoch Growder, judge advocate gen eral and provost marshal, a veteran of The Haugue conference, and Brig. ten. Samuel Answell, acting judge ad- yocate general of the army, and Vice Admiral William s. Sims, and Opt. Ridley Mclean, formerly judge ad vocate of the navy. James. Brown Scott, formerly so- licitor of the department of state and at present secretary of the Carnegie Endowment for Universal Peace and also a participant in the last confer ence at The Hague, is believed to be under consideration as secretary for the American commission. There will, of course, be at least two assist ant secretaries and a considerable number of attaches and clerks. If congress is to be represented on the commission, as was the case at the Paris conference of 1893 when peace treaties between the United States and Spain were drawn, the fact has rot yet developed. On the con trary, it was said that there was a decided disinclination to involve the legislative branch of the government in any way in the work of constructing treaties, which is regarded as purely executive function under the terms of the constitution. It also was today recalled that the senate itself not many years ago recorded its formal objection to the appointment by the president of any of its members as commissioners to negotiate agree ments which must afterward come before it for approval.
 Notice has been taken by officials here of the demand by certain social istic elements not only in Europe but in America, to have labor participate in the peace congress. Officials were understood to hold that to recognize labor in this way would be to establish class distinctions which would be thor oughly un-American. On the other hand it was said that by the appoint ment to the peace commission Of man such as Justice Brandeis, for instance, known to be an ardent friend and champion of labor at all times, the interests of the working classes would be sure of consideration
 It was made plain today that thu selection of Secretary Lansing to head the American commission is not to be taken as an indication of his purpose to resign his present office. In his absence Counsellor Frank L. Polk IS expected to act as secretary of state

republican, characterized the plan as a novel idea" which should be care fully considered. He also inquired as to whether the league was not being advocated for the purpose of further ing free trade.
 During the debate Senator Owen de- clared that league of nations was re- sponsible for bringing autOcracy in Europe to its knees" He denied that the league as proposed would in any way interfere with this countrys tariff or interior affairs and declared this Is the logical and opportune time for its establishment.
 Regarding opposition of Colonel Colonel Roosevelt to the admission of Germany into the league, Senator Walsh, in approving the plan, said that unless Germany is admitted, the other nations of the world must con tinue to maintain large land and sea forces.
 Senator Walsh read from writings of H. G. Wells, the British author, praising President Wilson as the lead CT of English political thought and dis cussing the objections to the league. Mir. Wells statement that "a suDsi- dized press opposes disarmament brought a protest from Senator Reed of Missouri, democrat, against the argument that men who are opposed to the league oppose it for selfish req sons"
 Senator Poindexter attacked MT Wells, characterizing him as a bril- liant writer. socialist, pacifist and in ternationalist, belonging to "a great class of radicals" whose doctrines are the same as those advocated by Will liam Hohenzollern, who, be added, also is an internationalist.

FOOD FOR GERMANY

German women and children have been starving for years.
 In that one sentence the spokeswomen of inc National Council for Women ot Germany, put before the people ot the ai- lied nations a more cogent reason for Eohtening of the terms of the armistlce Tn the interval before peace IS considered than could have been expressed by hun dreds of words spoken or written by men, concerning national aspirations or needs
 The mothers of Germany downtrodden' starved, ill-used by the tyrant ot military power. which repressed their voice until kaiserism and all it signified, fell, now aap- peal to the mothers of America. lenderiy' vearningly come the words of these wo- men, addressed to the first woman ot America.

 The women and children all over the world have been the innocent sufferers Of this terrible war, but nowhere more than Tn Germany They will die from hunger by the millions if the terms of the armlstlce are not changed.
 America will heed such a message: It has been the proud boast of the allied na, tions that they made no war on women ana children. Certainly the peace terms will be modified in such a way that the innocents shall not be made to suffer with the guilty.

Phoenix: Bequeathing a good name to his children and charging them to keep it so, James Miller. ir., former clerk of the superior court, in his last will. left his small estate entirely to his wife.
