GARBAGE FOR HOGS
 PRODUCES RESULTS

Garbage is very valuable as hog feed and solves to an extent the feed problem where it can be obtained. If properly utilized it will greatly in- crease Arizona's pork production. Hogs can be fed on garbage up to within few weeks of marketing with very satisfactory results.
 Wm. Beeson, of Flagstaff, tried out two pens of hogs at different times. The first bunch of five were bought at 15 cents per pound, weighed 510 pounds, or total of s76.50. They were fed 80 days and sold for IF cents per pound, weighed 910 pounds or s154.- 70. They had gained just one pound each per day. During the period they were fed 1925 pounds of rolled barley costing s9.75, leaving a total profit of $6S.45.
 The second lot of six weighed S10 pounds at 16c or $129.60. After feed ing 57 days five of them were sold at 16c and 1110 pounds or a total of $177.60. They had been fed S4.00 worth of barley hay, which leaves profit of $44 and he has one pig left to market.
 With such results there is no doubt as to the value of garbage as feed. However, precaution should be taken in feeding. MT. Beeson has found that the best thing to do is not to feed more than they will entirely clean up at each feeding. Over-feed- ing is apparently the cause of loss on garbage.

ARIZONA WOOL GROWERS
 MEET IN CONFERENCE

Twelve and one-half cents per head and board was the demand of the sheep shearers made to the Arizona Wool Growers Association at the mid-winter meeting of the association held at Phoenix.
 This is substantial increase over the price paid last year to the shear CTS which was nine cents per head and without board. But the shearers de- clare that with price of 35 cents for wool, that there must be corres- bonding increase to the men who cut it.
 The association named the following committee to confer with the shearers and endeavor to effect settlement: Lou Charlebois, F. D. By, c. H. Hess, H. J. Gray and F. c. Reid.
 This meeting of the Arizona Wool Growers Association was largely at tended and many questions of interest were discussed. The executive com- mittee is composed of the following: E. A. Sawyer, L. F. Verkamp, D. M. Francis, A. J. LeBarron, John Hen messy, O. B. Sutton and Fletcher B. By. This committee went into con- ference with the men of the forestry reserve for the purpose of granting grazing permits on forestry lands for the coming year.
 That speculation in grazing per mits will no longer be tolerated was a decision of the association. For many years it has been the practice of men not legitimate sheep men, to se- cure grazing permits which they later would transfer at considerable profit.
 Concerted action against predatory animals, enemies of the sheep and the grazing lands, will be taken by the association it was decided. It al- so was determined that the embargo now placed on the shipment from Cal ifornia into Arizona of oil cake and cotton seed cake must be raised. A new runway for sheep from the northern to the southern part of the state was also discussed and it's need decided upon. This runway is the one which the cattlemen are strenu- ously opposing. It was stated that unless some passage was secured for the sheep from the north to the south that it would greatly curtail the size of the herds for the next season. Among those present at the meet ing of the association were many of the most prominent sheep owners in the state.

PICTURESQUE PLAN FOR
 WATERING THE DESERT

The application of the Coconino Water Development Company for permission to sell bonds was heard by the state corporation commission Wednesday. This company is engag- ed in picturesque enterprise, to sup ply the surrounding country with water from natural reservoir in the San Francisco mountains. This res- ervoir is the crater of an extinct vol cano and is said to have capacity of 500,000,000 gallons. The water comes from the almost everlasting snows which crown the tops of the mountains. The company proposes to construct concrete apron around the top of the mountain so that the melting snows will be diverted into the crater whence it will be taken out by tunnel, down the side of the mountain and distributed over the country, bringing into cultivation a large acreage.
 The water will be conducted by means of wooden pipes. A great deal of work has already been done, about $60,000 having been expended.-Ari- zona Republican.

IT'S A LONG WAY TO TIPPERARY

Mornin' Merry Sunshine reader.
 Mighty glad to get our old job back again.
 The Sun has not needed me half as bad as have needed the Sun for the past nine months.'
 If you have ever been so situated that the retention of your grip on the caudal appendage of bear was vital ly necessary to prevent his reaching around anl lunching on your leg, you will appreciate our deep grief over the loss of our late job.
 It was all very, very sad, but the saddest part of it all was in receiv- ing the condolence of a lady friend who thought it too bad that our "first entrance into politics" should end so sadly. If it had not been for the fact that we had been spending the whole salary of $75 per month paid by the government on riotious living, the whole smear would have been returned to the war department to help pay for shoes and overcoats on contracts under the management of Eishelman, Eikestein and other such patriots, who were evidently endeavoring to protect the wool prod uct of the country from being des- boiled by the shivering bunch of boys at Camp Funston.
 Things are improving rapidly Secretary of War Baker has, under recent investigation, discovered some 1200 Lewis machine guns that had been laying around in some back lot or woodshed and if he finds out where they make powder, he will probably buy some of that to use in an emergency.
 Some of the older residents remem- a battle called "Bull Run; it made many of the then residents of the country very much peeved with the way things were going, or, rather coming their way. In a short time, they fussed around and found a way of retaliating.
 Nothing could be more jolly and brotherly than a war with wooden guns, except that pneumonia and other such impediments interfere, causing parents and friends to fear that death is just as fatal in that way as by some new fangled gas invented in Germany and not plentifully enough used in Congress in this country.

BEESON APPOINTED
 PEST INSPECTOR


 William Beeson, fuel administrator for Coconino county, recently has an nexed unto himself another import ant position, that of Pest Inspector for this county, receiving the appoint ment from State Entomologist A. w. Morrill,. Among the duties of his new job will be to see that no fruits, veg etables, hay, grain, seeds or other farm products are shipped in here from states which are infected with crop pests, or from states quarantin- ed because of certain crop pests, un- less such shipments are certified as being inspected.
 The following instructions were re- ceived yesterday by MT. Beeson:
 In ordering nursery stock from out side the state it is very important that the purchaser inform the nurseryman concerning Arizona's requirements. While comparatively little infested and diseased stock is now shipped in- to this state it should not be taken for granted that every nurseryman in the country is informed concerning the provisions of our law and quaran- tine orders. For the information of all interested this brief and concise statement has been prepared.
 Nursery stock shipped into the state must be prominently labeled with the name and address of both the shipper and the consignee, and Wust be accompanied by a valid cer- tificate of inspection or a copy of such certificate by duly authorized inspection official. Shipments into the state, consisting of or containing plants not grown in the locality from which shipment was made, must in addition, specify where such plants were grown. State quarantine orders of interest to nurserymen prohibit: CD the importation of stock from sections infested by the alfalfa wee yil; (2) the importation of citrus, pri- vets, cape jessamine and rubber trees and plants from North and South Carolina and all states bordering on the Gulf of Mexico; (3) rooted grape vines from north of the north line of San Bernardino, Kern and San Luis Obispo counties, California, and (4) citrus trees from California except from Imperial, Tulare and Fresno counties. All shipments of living plants into the state of Arizona are inspected by Arizona state inspectors and not delivered until certificate of release is issued in each case, to the common carrier and to the con signee. If trees or plants are infest- ed or infected with insect pests or plant diseases of general occurrence in the section of the state where the shipment is received, treatment to eradicate, or the separation of the in- fested or diseased plants or trees, is in most cases permissible; otherwise all plants or trees of the kind found to be infested or diseased are held in quarantine and are shipped from the state or destroyed at the owners option.

A FRACTIONAL FACTOR.

It seems to be freely conceded that the Presidents influence was large factor in producing the favorable vote for the suffrage amendment in the House of Representatives. His in fluence, of course, was with the mem- bers of his own party. The vote showed 104 Democrats voting for suf- frage and 102 Democrats voting against it. The majority for suffrage in the whole House was exactly two thirds of one vote. We do not know whether these figures are to be taken as measure of the Presidents in- fluence or not. They are fairly sug- gestive, at any rate.

WOMAN APPOINTED STATE
 DEPUTY GAME WARDEN

Arizona now has a woman deputy game warden.
 By the sanction of State Game Warden Willard, Mrs. Mary c. Plat ten, of Davenport Lake, Arizona, is now legal guardian of the wild an- imals, the birds and fish of this state. She has been forwarded star and a commission deputizing her to make arrest of all offenders of the game laws of the state.
 Mrs. Platten wrote to Governor Hunt several days ago asking for the appointment as deputy game warden and declaring that she was willing to serve without pay, but Game Warden Willard thought differently, and this newest deputy game protector will receive the same pay as other depu- ties.
 "Mrs. Platten did offer to serve as deputy game warden without pay" said Game Warden Willard, "but if she does the same work as the men deputies and does it as well, she is entitled to the pay that goes with the office"
 Mrs. Mary c. Platten, the first woman deputy game warden in Ari- zona and probably one of a very few such women officials, lives at Daven- port Lake, which is near Williams. Violations of the game laws in the vi- cinity of Williams may possibly be- come frequent and fragrant in the next few weeks, until the honor of being the first man to be arrested by this new woman deputy is definitely bestowed.-Arizona Republican.
 The lady mentioned above is well known in Flagstaff and is the wife of Fred Platten, who for many years was ranger in the Forest service.

STRUCKMEYER MUST BE
 OUSTED.

Much bitterness is expressed all over Arizona because Governor Hunt retains as member of the commission of State Institutions his chief coun- sel in the gubernatorial contest, Fred c. Struckmeyer, despite public attacks demanding his removal from office.
 The first charges that Struckmeyer is unfit for the handling of the $3,- 100000, now being disbursed by the commission of State Institutions dwindle into insignificance beside as- sertions now freely made that he is a violent and dangerous pro-German, having made many remarks of a shockingly disloyal nature, both be- fore and since the United States join ed the allies against Germany.
 Fears are widely acknowledged that it is the intention of Struckmeyer to use his present powerful position and influence as governor-maker, to se- cure the coming democratic nomina- tion for attorney general, the election to which office would put the legal machinery of Arizona into his hands in a most dangerous crisis.
 Governor Hunts we'll known soft ness toward the criminal element causes the people of Arizona to des- pair that he will remove his favorite, to whom he is under so much polit- ical obligation, although prominent democratic members of the bar ex- press themselves bitterly in public places against Struckmeyer's reten- tion in any public capacity during the term of the war.-Arizona Record.

Wonder just how sore it would have made the people of the United States if President Wilson had said: "While I do not approve of your taking di- vision of the army to France, I offer you, Colonel Roosevelt, the Secretary ship of War in my cabinet; there is no politics in this war and we need the best men we can get" We are not much of Roosevelt or Wilson person at that, but it would put a confidence in the people that they were making righteous war instead of merely phony contracts.

IaAY Use CONNECTS TO /
make WAR SUPPLIES
Georgia Senator Has Proposition
to Equip Federal Prisons
for Munitions Work.

Great Britain and Canada have al
ready employed convict labor to manu-
facture war supplies. And now Sena-
tor Hoke Smith of Georgia proposes
that the same thing be done in this
country.
His idea is to equip federal prisons
with necessary manufacturing machln-
ery and utilize the prisoners to turn
out the finished product. Other NOM
contract prisons may participate.
The introduction of the prison labor
bill is the result of cooperation of the
American Federation Of Labor, the de-
partment of labor, the committee on
prisons and prison labor. "lt," so
statement says, "marks the taking OF
new trench in the fight against the ex-
ploitation of the prisoner and free la
Dor. in addition to freeing his LABOR
for war work"
At its last session congress appro-
priated money for shops at Atlanta,
Fort Leavenworth and Mcneil 1sland
penitentiaries. This development was
approved by the officers of the Amerl-
can Federation of Labor, which is now
pressing the nationwide extension OF
the state-use system. If this is DONE
the federal government can increase
the nations productivity, economize
for insufficient labor power and bene-
fit the prisoner and the free working
man.
The bill authorizes the secretary OF
war and the secretary of the navy
to employ military prisoners In the
manufacture Of war supplies and in
the construction of military ROADS.
Army prisoners are already used on
road work within National army can
comments. The bill would make pos
sible their use on roads leading to the
environments.
In many instances the lack OF good
road connections with the railroads
and main highways makes transporta-
ton of food and supplies a matter OF
considerable difficulty in bad weather.

TRUE CITIZENSHIP

Much as we dislike to admit 1t, there
still exists a distinct apathy toward
he war on the part Of a great many
people in various parts of the country.
The reason for this Is even deeper than
constitutional pacifism or pro-Ger
manism based upon explainable blood
or mental association. The fact is
although we did not realize 1t unit
recently, the average citizen of this
country has not had instilled in him
real responsibility in and to his-gov'
ernuent. The extreme development OF
the democratic idea In America and
the ultra-political nature of our form
of government has resulted In the al
most total disappearance Of the appre-
citation by the individual of what the
government means to him.
The changing Of this condition Is
possibly the most serious problem fac
ing the United States today, outside
of winning the war. 1t involves com
plete reimbursement and revitalizing OF
our methods Of civic instruction. This
work must start in the schools of tn"
lowest grade. Many men who have
had the advantage of collegiate in
struction in political economy, anf
even the influence of the discussion OF
these matters in high school debatin"
societies, appreciate the problem. l.
must be remembered, however, tina
by far the greater majority of boys
who later make up the citizenry of tn
nation leave school after pass!n%
through only the most elementar,
grades
The National Security League, or
ganized at the start of the war as
preparedness proganda and now devof'
ing its entire efforts to the awakenfn;
of the people to realization OF IN
meanings of the war and the menace
of defeat, has undertaken a nation
wide campaign on this question OF true
citizenship which Is worthy Of atten'
ton and support. 1t has enlisted the
co-operation CT state, county and city
superintendents Of schools in all parts
of the country to make daily instruc-
ton on the war part of actual school
tuition. The league has also obtained
the release to 1t on full pay by the
Boards of Trustees Of number Of the
largest colleges and universities In the
country of a corps Of professors who
are to constitute National Patriotic
Education Faculty" to carry on this
work in the broader field. These men
will create sort Of peripatetic uni
versity, journeying personally into all
parts of the country to spread this
thought of the necessity of awakening
the citizenship of the country to re-
sponsibility In its government. More
power to the National Security League
and may the nation quickly realize the
importance Of its work
