Hold No Grudqe.

Time brings many changes. Take
for instance the fellows who vOlun-
teered their services when war was
declared and who have since been pro-
noted to be commissioned officers.
Some of these men toiled in shops and
offices and had to toe the mark for
clerks or foremen to get fred. Then
came the draft and these same clerks
and foremen became doughboys and
now take orders from their former Of
fee boys and employees. Some humor-
Gus stories have come to light from
the nearby environments, but let it be
said to the credit of the former Office
boys, they have not made life I'M
bearable for their superiors, although
they have had the opportunity to do
so. AS an illustration of this the 9th
er day doughboy was serving mess
to his top sergeant. AS he did so he
spilled some dressing from the salad.
The sergeant noticed this and smiled.
"Just about a year ago I was serving
you with SOUP" said the sergeant, at the
same time mentioning the hotel where
he had worked as serving man, "and
you gave me the devil because it was
cold. I'm not going to kick because
you spilled the dressing. I'm going to
treat you right" And that is the gen.
eral spirit throughout the camps.

mo Time to Swap Horses"

In MI. R. R. Earhart, sheriff
of Santa Cruz County, who is
the Democratic nominee for re-
election, the people of this polit-
ical subdivision have a fine Of
ficer with record of one who
does his duty land his whole
duty, without fear or favor.
Mr.. Earhart has been identi-
fled with Santa Cruz County a
dozen years, and in that time he
has proven his worth in more
ways than one. In the days
when the Mowry Mines were
operationg under the Curtis
Oonau management Mr.. Ear
hart was in the employ of that
corporation as master mechanic.
Then he was keeper of the prop
9rty while it was in the courts
4 number of years, discharging
the trust imposed in him with
fidelity and loyalty.
With the first election he was
elected County Treasurer, and
he was run so-close in the cleo
ton, and his majority was SO
slight that he faced contest to
demonstrate his right to the Of
,eice. He won, and his incum-
bency he discharged the duties
IF the post with such tact, judg-
ment and accuracy that for the
second term the republicans
could find no one who would try
conclusions with him, and he
was elected without opposition.
Taking the nomination for
sheriff two years ago Mr.. Ear
aart beat one of the strongest
and most popular republicans
in the county, who had served
two terms.
In the present election Mr..
Earhart is standing upon his
record as faithful and loyal
servant, and he is sure to win.
This is one of those cases de-
scribed by Abe Lincoln, when he
said that at is no time to swap
horses when crossing a stream. "

Disdain Western Finery.

In reply to an inquiry from an
American firm as to the demand here
for lace goods and embroideries, 1t
can be stated, reports the American
consul at Yokohama, that as the Japa-
nese women cling very tenaciously to
their style Of dress and as no use Is
made of lace or embroideries either In
their dress or home furnishings, it Is
improbable that any considerable mar
ket can be developed in Japan for
American-made lace goods or embroid-
cries. The demand would be limited
to the foreign residents here, who now
number about 5000, exclusive Of Chi
nese, and to such goods as are not be-
ing manufactured in Japan.

however, was something unusual in

Borinu Pole Holes.

The tiresome and time consuming
work Of digging holes for telegraph
and electric service poles is now at an
end, says Scientific American. At least,
there has been evolved a gasoline
driven earth-boring machine which
makes an average boring time per hole
of one and one-half to two minutes.
The equipment is mounted on horse
drawn truck and is operated by two
men. In ordinary soil it maintains an
average Of 100 holes per day, each
measuring five feet deep by "a inches
In diameter. The equipment consists
of a truck, which carries gasoline en-
CINE, driving mechanism and a huge
auger which is slowly rotated and fed
downward. The augers are furnished
in sizes from 2 to "a inches.

pable and efficient men in the
county, as his success in bust
ness demonstrates most fully.
And his career in the interna-
tional border region goes bacI;
many years. For more than 20
years he was in the service of
the Sonora Railway, filling the
post of agent at Guaymas, Or
tiz; Torres, Hermosillo, Carlo,
Pesquiera, Magdalena, Quijano
and Nogales, a record that
would be hard to duplicate any
where.
Some six years ago Mr.. Bow
man quit the railway service
and embarked in business on
his own account, first engaging
in cattle expectation from Mex
leo, handling many thousand
head within a few months, and
making handsome returns. He
engaged later in merchandising,
which he still conducts-the
Bowman Mercantile Company.
Mr.. Bowman is also heavy
property owner, having improv-
ed some of the choicest parcels
in the city. The Hotel Bowman,
on Grand avenue, is one of the
finest buildings in Southern
Arizona, and his fine residence
on Cavalry Hill is an ornament
to the city. The gentleman is
an all around good citizen and a
highly representative man. He
should be elected.

The bureau of aircraft production
Of til war department has requested
the / ed Cross to give publicity to the
vital leed of walnut for use in max
ing rplane propeller blades and gun
stocks. All chapters in central divis-
ion are requested to see that this need
is made known as widely as possible
by posting this notice on their bulletin
boards and including this item in the
Red Cross news printed in local news
papers.
Walnut has been found to be the
best wood for propeller blades and gun
stocks. Trees are found throughout
the United States, usually in small
groups and the government wants in
formation as to their location, to give
the owners an opportunity to demon
strate their patriotism in a practical
way.
A part only of the lumber from each
tree can be used and the government
cannot buy the trees direct from the
owners. The trees should be sold to
a sawmill having a government con-
tract for lumber for propeller blades
and gun stocks. If owners of trees
do not know of such mills, they may
write to the Ordnance Department,
Procurement Division, Small Arms
Section, Washington, d. c., giving num-
Der and location Of the trees, and they
will be notified how to dispose of them.
