THAT MEXICO WAR CLOUD
VAISHES AGAIN

Mexico, City, Aug. 19, Re
plying to protest from Great
Britain against provisions of the
oil decree of February %, which
was declared to be confscatory
and in violation of the rights of
English companies holding oil
claims, the Mexican government
has declared that it does not
recognize the right of any foreign
government to protest against
DEGREES of this nature.
Washington, Aug. 20. II he
threatened crisis in the relations
of Mexico with the entente allies
and the United States apparently
has been averted by a modificat-
ion. of the new Mexican oil tax
decree by President Carranza.
The modification now made
hardly will be wholly satisfactory
but it was said today that it
appears to make concessions paw
ing the way for clearing up the
situation.

WHY WILL THE GOVERN.
MENT OBJECT?

Dallas, Tex. At a meeting Of
the stockholders of the Cotton
Stalks Fiber company it was un-
animously voted that since the
government will not allow the CO.
mpany to secure machinery and
other equipment during the war,
the money should be returned for
allthe stock that has been sold in
the Cotton Stalks Paper company
and the project dropped until
after the war.
This action came upon the re-
commentator of 2. H. Martin,
who recently returned from a trip
to Washington, where he secured
a ruling on the matter. In the
proposed $1,OOO,OOO concern to
be organized in Texas for the
manufacture of paper from cot
ton stalks. $120, 900 worth of
stock has been sold at an expense
of approximately l per cent.
When we take into consider
alton that the government has
decreed that big papers must cut
down in size and that no more
newspapers will be allowed to
start, the failure to allow the
Cotton Stalks Fiber company to
perfect its plans for making pa
per out of what is now a waste
COTTON statks), and also, consid-
ering the fact that paper, especi-
ally news paper, is so very high
in cost that it is all but prohibit
i've, it is hard to understand why
the government will put a dam
per on an enterprise that promi-
ses relief. And, too, we must re-
member that the government de-
pends upon the newspapers and
other periodicals for the educat-
ion of the people as to war con-
ditions, selling bonds. thrift
stamps, and all and anything per-
tanning to expediting the war
against the worlds greatest ca
lamity kaiserism.

FOR INCRAESE IN POULTRY
PRODUCTION

There is a marked increase in
the production of poultry in
Northern Arizona counties.
Last March, N. L. Harris, poul-
try Specialist of the Bureau of
Animal Industry and the Agri-
cultural Extension Service, made
a trip thru this section of the
State explaining the threatened
shortage of meat and outlining
the Governments plans for in
creased production of poultry.
Much interest was aroused at the
time and many questions asked.
The County Agricultural Agents
of these counties got behind the
poultry campaign and pushed it
strongly.
After a recent visit by Mr..
Harris to the Northern counties
he now reports, there has been an
actual increase of from 200 to 300
per cent in the amount of poultry
raised as well as a considerable
improvement in the health and
condition of the flock.
Mr.. Harris states that high
priced food need not hinder any
person producing all the eggs and

The PRESCOTT FAIR
(By G. M. Sparkes)

The sixth annual Northern
Arizona Fair will be held in Pres
colt Thursday, Friday, and Sat-
urday, October 18th, 18th and

strictly to the lines desired by the
Government, for such entertain
ments,
All premiums in every depart
ment will be paid in thrift and
war savings stamps. This item

ing the Arizona quota for the
sale of thrift stamps.
In the Art department, a spec
ial gallery will be set apart where
the photographs and pictures of
all men in service from Northern
Arizona will be displayed. This
will form one of the most interest

Ruffner. The Tom Mix company
has in its employ sixty actors,
famed in the art of reel work.

stunts.
Admission to the grounds will
be free to all men in U. S. uniform
or the uniform of any of our allies.

THE WORK OF THE DE-
PARTMENT OF LABOR

The American farmer has not
more practical friend than the
Department of Labor, with its
United States Employment Ser
vice. 1t is not only endeavoring
to supply him with all the labor
available for food production, but
it frequently stands between him
and other war industries which
seek to recruit workers at the
expense of the farmer.
1t was the u S. Employment
Service that was instrumental in
having indiscriminate recruiting
of labor stopped in the farming
region around Norfold, Va. 1t has
been the u. S. Employment Ser
vice which has prevented farms
in other regions from being swept
bare of help by private labor re-
cruiting agents, exaggerated ad-
vertising. 1t was U. S. Employ
ment Service that called attent-
ion of the farmers to the necess-
ity of backing with affidavits the
claim of hands necessary to him
for deferred classification in the
draft. Many a farmer today
would be without the services of
his best men had it not been for
this information sent out broad
cast by the Service.
1t is the Employment Service
that is now seeking to obtain the
cessation of the activities of pri-
vate labor agents in the South.
Take it right home here in Ariz-
ona, it is in the Employment Ser
vice that is also seeking to have
the Arizona Cotton Growers
Association abstain from taking
farm hands from other states and
parts of Arizona to the Salt River
Valley to pick cotton at the ex-
pense of the localities from which
such hands are revoved.
1t is the Department of Labor
that is seeking from the railroad
administration half fares for
farm workers recruited and dis
tributed through the Employ
ment Service.
Through the Employment Ser
vice, the multiplicity of efforts to
aid the farmers, which often are
highly confusing are being CO.
ordipated, so that any applicat-
ion for help will reach the govern
ment's entire labor recruiting and
placing machinery.
1t behooves every farmer in
Arizona to get in touch with and
cooperate with the Uuited States
Employment Service through it's
nearest Office.

Maddox for Congress because they

The usual light Saturday business
was concluded at prices unchanged

1900 which arrived last week, and

spending week a year ago. The quail
ity was only fair, and the receipts
were pretty equally divided between
Killer and stock cattle.
Statesmen made clearance of hogs
today on a basis of around Csc per
hundred higher than yesterdays av-
arage. There were only 5000 here,
and while considerably the larger
portion went to local packers, ship
per buyers were strong contenders
for supplies from the start. The
quality of receipts was good.
No sheep were on sale this morn
ing. and 1t was not expected that any
would arrive for the late market.

TRAINS RESUMED
MILWAUKEE PUTS ON ADDITION.
AL TRAINS OUT OF
ABERDEEN.

Aberdeen, April 13.-Passenger
trains Nos. sol 504 on the Milwau-
kee line from Milbank to Sisseton
are again In operation after being
stopped during the winter on account
CT lack OF fuel.
Supt. r. M. Melin, of this division
of the road issued the order to re-
establish the service on April 10, and
II went into effect yesterday.
The reason for abandoning the
service during the winter was en-
tirely due to the coal shortage and
the serious lack of fuel. and not from
any desire of the Milwaukee to cur
tail the service. The resumption OF
the service yesterday Is in line with
their promise last winter when the
service was abandoned and the trains
will hereafter run as usual on the old
schedule.
The delay in putting back the
trains after the coal shortage was al
leviated was due to the fact that an
official order had to be granted by
Director General McAdoo and 1t took
some time to arrange the r~eestablish-
ment OF the service.
Milwaukee officials give assurance
that trains Nos. ! and 4, day trains
between Aberdeen and Minneapolis,
would be put back into service as
soon as an order from McAddo could
be secured and that 1t is only a ques-
ton OF a short time until they, too,
will be running as before.
