Our readers will notice that the
Chronicle has been changed back
to a six-column size, and of course
will wonder why. The reason is
that our press is better equipped
for this size than for the larger
7-col. size, and in order to contin-
ue the larger size would require a
lot of extra and heavier equip
ment for the press as we'll as a
larger electric motor, which would
require a great deal of time and
expense to install. The four is
sues of the 7-col. size we had
trouble with the press every week,
causing much delay, to say moth
ing about wrapping" our religion
by the tendency to encourage
swearing among the printers. So
for the present at least our readers
will have to take the Chronicle in
6-column doses.

Raise More Horses.


Advice to every owner of a mare |
to raise a colt in 1918, if possible,
is based upon studies of the horse
situation in the world at large,
which have aroused serious fears
Of a famine in horses after the
war. The European countries at
war have already made heavy in
roads upon their stock, the United
States is believed to have disposed
of any surplus it may have had
two or three years ago, and neu-
trails have been shipping animals
into the war zone in such large
numbers that it will be years be-
fore they will be restored to nor
NAL again. The war is calling
for continuous supply Of about
five million horses and mules, de-
spite the inactivity of cavalry. 1t
is not realized by most persons
that a regiment of infantry re-
quires one animal for every four
men, and that the number of kill
ed in France has been as high as
five thousand a day. American
breeders believe there will be a
large demand for horses to restock
Europe, and that for at least a
decade owners of better grades
will be in no danger Of finding
their animals a drug on the mar

Adv. Rates for 1918.

Al OF the country papers that
had not already raised their rates,
to meet the increased cost of pa
per and all printing materials,
last week announced their adv.
rates for the new year. Not one
of them announced a rate of less
than 15c an inch each issue, sir
gle column measurement, and
most of them have raised to Zoe
an inch, when ads are changed ev-
cry week, and for irregular ads.
Both of the Grangeville papers
announced a raise from 123c to
15c for regular advertisers and zoe
an inch for transient and irregular
ads that run less than a month.
Their rate for business locals and
readers is Zoe line for each issue,
with no ad for less than 25c.
It appears that the rates charg-
ed by the Chronicle have been
less than those of any other paper
west of the Mississippi river-the
rate in a number of cases being
even less than Zoe an inch.
At the increased cost of every
thing used in a printing Office, as
we'll as general living expenses
of all kinds, it is just as impos-
sible for a paper to try to exist I'M
der the old rates as for "a store or
any other business to run under
the prices of several years ago.
Therefore, beginning with our
next issue, the Chronicles adver-
Using rates will be raised-not as
high as those charged by other
papers-but to that charged by
other papers before they raised
the rates.
For the year 1918 our rates will
be as follows: All regular adver-
tisers taking 80 inches or over
each week, the rate will be 121c
an inch. All display ads of less
than 80 inches, 15c an inch. For
transient and all display ads run
ming less than a month the rate
will be zoe an inch. Business To-
Gals and readers will be 10c a line
for first and sc a line for each sub
sequent insertion of same notice.
AS advertisers perhaps know,
a whole page, 6-col. size, contains
100 inches, which at 123c an inch,
amounts to SIS. A half-page ad
contains 60 inches and amounts
to $3.50 an issue. A quarter-page
ad 80 inches, or 1915 an issue.
A 20-inch ad is coils. wide and 10
inches long, and at 15c, amounts
to 800 each issue, etc.

New subscriptions and renewals
for the Chronicle are pouring in at

ized this company to lease and sub. lease proprty and it is one of his main objects to build a refinery should oil be discovered in the Chino field in large paying quantities.
 Dr. Edwards, who discovered the line of oil in Ohio, built the first re- fnery in that section, which after ward was sold to the Standard Oil Company. He is man of high ac- complishments and has great faith in the future of Chino Valley, he is determined to be the first man in the refinery business in Arizno.a
 With the endorsement of every geologist and oil expert who has wis., ited the Chino Valley, the field looms up as one of great importance and has attracted wide attention.
 In the last week some of the big gest oil men of the West have visited Phoenix, inquiring as to the Chino field, due to the tremendous publicity that the new Arizona oil fields have. attained.
 Before the first of March it can be. safely said that three drills will be- operating in the Chino Valley in search of the Liquid Gold--Oil. The: Arizona Oil & Refining Company is fully sixty days ahead of any com pany in the drilling operation

THE. APPOINTMENT OF CLEARY
 (PhoeniX GaZette.)

The Gazette notes with deep con cern the appointment of William E. Cleary as member of the commission for the promotion of uniform legisla- tion. The Gazette has no desire to be anything but friendly with MT. Cleary so long as he conducts himself properly or refrains from creating strife and turmoil, but his life for the last few years has been spent in agi tation and fomenting trouble between the employed and-the employer, con- seGu~ntly- his appointment to a state commission cannot m an anything but renewed strife, trouble and turmoil. Labor can never profit through the advice and effort of Cleary; he sim ply cannot live .>.in peace and quiet.
 The Gazette is inclined to the belief that not one of the elective state of ficials will approve the appointment of Cleary, because they know him well. and they also know that there are many democratic lawyers in Ari- zOna true and loyal to democratic principles, who would have been glad to take appointment to that comInis- sion.
 On tire day Governor Hunt was 1e- instated the Gazette said editorially thar IL would De Slad 10 approve any and all of his official acts if they were for the Lts interests of Arizona. That was said with sincere honesty and with tho hope and wish that it could approve and applaud his every act.
 It now seems safe to say that all loyal democrats as weu as the peo- pie generally vii look ron this a.: pointment with alarm and intense con cern. Such appointments cannot spell harmony in the democratic party nor can they win the confidence of the people generally. Too many such ap- pointnents have recently been made for the good of the democratic party a''" the welfare oi '':.. state of Ari- zona.

States minister to the Netherlands and one of the most noted literary fig ures in the country, is now serving as chaplain at the Charlestown, Mass navy yard. Dr. Van Dyke was ap- pointed by Secretary Daniels and hon. ored with the rank of lieutenant com mander. He will visit all the naval stations in the East and hopes to be assigned to a fighting ship.

About Two Tons.

Joseph Conrath makes and repairs violinS and other musical instruments, relates the Indianapolis News. The government had him on its list as a manufacturer and sent him one of its formal inquiries as to how much coal he uses annually. In the proper place he wrote down About two tons." That is really more than he uses, but he dis liked to put down the exact truth. His manufacturing is done by hand and though he has to heat his two rooms in Virginia avenue business block, the floors. cealings ana walls absorb so much heat from rooms below, above and back of him that his fuel cost is nominal.

ALL ROADS LEAD TO
 THE CHINO VALLEY

The boom is on. To use the term of a prospector All roads lead to Chino Valley"
 With the Arizona Oil & Refining Company drilling and with several other companies preparing to drill, the Chino Valley Oil field presents the scene of activity which means an oil boom for Arizona.
 While the Arizona Oil & Refining Company is paving way for the real big action in the field a number of other companies are fast forging to the front. Among the newer com panies in the field is the B. A. Ed wards Oil & Refining Company which has attracted considerable attention due to it's strong organization and the people in back of the company.

Two little ple-cruSt secrets

Here are two practical pie-crust hints. They were given to us by cook whose wholesome Cottolene pie-crust was tender and haky treat.
 Himt No. {. Always chop your shortening into the fourwithknives. Don't mix it in with your hands.
 Hint No. 2. Always keep your shortening and your dough as cold as possible.
 Just forgetting the money-saving in using Cottolene, why don't you compare your economical Cottolene pie-crust with your very best pie crust made with "half of butter?"
 If you follow your own recipe, be sure to use one-third less of Cotto- lene than you ordinarily use of other shortening. Cottolene goes farther --because 1t Is richer.
 A great many particular women who used to use part butter are now using wholesome Cottolene alone to make tender, faky pie-crust. But perhaps you would like to try the recipe below. You'll need:
 1H cups flour a teaspoon baking powder
 F teaspoon salt Ice water 4 cup Cottolene
 For method start at picture No. 1.

ORGANIZE CLUB

Fifteen young men, who have been
granted deferred classification for Sc
lective service, met at the home of
Andrew Kerber, south of Milton, Sats
urday night, and formed an organiza-
ton In Washington township, electing
c. A. Leverton, of Milton, president;
Homer Bertsch was elected secretary
and treasurer. Increased agricultural
production in Wayne county is the
primary purpose of the organization.
J. c. Kline, Wayne county agricul-
tural agent, attended the meeting and
promised his support to the new club
in the carrying on Of war work. He
commended the purpose of the organ
ization, and said that he believed ev-
cry township in Wayne county should
establish similar clubs.
"A great deal can be accomplished
along agricultural lines by these
young men," said Mr.. Kline, land I
certainly favor the forming of other
branches throughout Wayne county.
The county agent will be glad to da
all that he can to help the clubs in
their work"
