Retribution.
Although for a long time Donna Isa-

Pancho Cueto. her administrator, was
robbing her, she had never mustered
courage to call him to reckoning.
Nevertheless. De Castano's blunt accu-
saticn, coupled with her own urgent
needs, served to fix her resolution, and
on the day after the merchants visit
she sent for the overseer, who at the
time was living on one Of the plan
tations.
Cueto was plainly curious to learn
why he had been sent for, but since
he asked no questions, his employer
was forced to open the subject her
self. Through dry, white lips she be-

Organization of means for the i'm mediate employment of returning sol dlers and sailors, together with a large number of war workers, has proceeded to the extent of outlining to all chair men Of the county councils of defense In this state the methods originated h, the central body in Washington. Tele- graphic instructions were sent out yes tcrday.
 Chambers of commerce, Red Cross chapters, councils of defense, Y. NJ. C. A, Knights of Columbus, Jewish Vel fare boards. mayors womcn's commit tees and, in fact, every effort engaged i'm war work of every kind, have been called in session in each county in the state
 From this working assembly, ac- curding to instructions, management committee is to be selected. Following Its appointment, a manager will be named by this committee who will then become a federal employe, under the supervision of the federal statc director of employment service, who, in this state, is Thomas J. Croaff.
 List All Jobs.
 Strenuous gathering of data will re- suit in compiling a list of all potential positions of every nature, and these, in turn, will be held in waiting for the fighting men to return. In this way. it is hoped, not a returning Arizona boy need wait longer than the time It takes him 10 go to the location of his job to secure work that he is capable of doing at a living wage.
 In addition to this, the suggestions of Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior, relating to the reclamation Cf arable lands. will be taken up and discussed at a meeting called for Mon day. Ten representative citizens conf prise this committee and as soon as the facts requested by the department of the interior are collected, d com plte report will be sent to Washington.
 Government Will Help.
 Local officoals are inspired by the belief that all these various agencies combined possess a significance that reaches beyond the placing of men in employment, reacting upon an era Of unprecedented prosperity for the state of Arizona. It is understood that the national government stands ready to "go the limit" on every laudable enterprise that has to dc with the furtherance of productive agencies al over the country.
 There will be no appeal to Governor Hunt or the coming state legislature as suggested by the council of national defense. to have the act that created the state council amended to permit work to continue indefinitely. This is due 10 the fact that the Arizona coun- cu is already authorized to remain III existence until six months succeeding the end of the war. which is in torpreted to mean, after the signing of a peace treaty by this country with Germany and Austria.
