JEROME ROAD IS IN HANDS OF
 ITS FRIENDS
HACKERS OF PROJECT T ARE HARD AT WORK AT CAPITAL AND PETITION WILL BE CIRCULATED IN CITIES AFFECTED.
(From Fridays DsiIy.)

That preparations are under way at the State capital to interest tha powers that be in the proposed Pres cctt-J Jerome highway was the well come news announced to those gath cred It the Chamber of Commerce mo eting last evening. Instead of be- ing dormant as many believe, friends of the project have been busy at Phoenix for the past few weeks in looking into the matter and trying to impress upon the State engineer and the governor the vital necessity of constructing this roadway. Homer Woods, a member of the State com mission of Public Institutions, 1t is said, is heartily in sympathy with the project and is doing his best to put the thing over
 Dr. K. \. Looney, who had been named by the C. of C. to inquire in to the matter, reported last night that with little concerted boosting from the residents of Prescott and Jerome, the matter would in all probability go through. The resi- dents of Camp Verde, it was said, had been very antagonistic toward the matter, apparently believing that in case the road was built, the Cherry creek road passing through Camp Verde would be abandoned In or der to block the big improvement If possible, 1t is said that the residents of Camp Verde have prepared peti- ton containing several hundred names, protesting against the project, tine petition to be presented to both the country supervisors and to the State engineer. As matter of fact, said Dr. Looney, the construction of the Prcscott-Jerome road would not involve the abandonment of the road into Camp Verde, and it was sug- pested that a committee be named by the chamber to communicate with the commercial organization of that place ard set the Camp Verdeites right on the matter, in an effort to cause them to withdraw their opposi- ton to this highly necessary improve mcnt. Attorney LeRoy Anderson was named to perform this mission.
 There is apparently some confusion yet remaining as to the manner in which the big improvement would be. financed, and President Viele ex- plained that it was understood that in event the county and State funds were d trifle shy, the two larger cop per companies of Jerome were will ing to advance sufficient money to insure the completion of the highway, allowing the county and State au- thorities a liberal term of years in which to repay the money.
 By way of offsetting the petition which is being prepared in Camp Verde, it was decided to circulate ccunte--petition in Prescott and Je- rome, the petition being directed to the supervisors and the State au- thorities, asking that the road be put through in as short time as possible. It is planned to have the petition cir culated in all parts of the county, and to have a copy of it located in every business house in the districts affected, SO that all may have an op- portunity to sign if they so desire.

RIPPLING RHYMES

GROWING WEATHER

Oh, why repine? The
crops are fine, the oats, the
prunes, the barley; our hay,
we trust, will surely bust the
kaisers Bill and Charley.
The wind that whoops and
loops the loops, is multiply
ing rations, the rain and sun
will can the Hun, and save
the allied nations. Where'er
l gaze I see men raise fine
beets and peas and taters,
and that will make the kais-
er quake, and jar a lot of
traitors. The night dews
wash the growing squash,
refresh the YARDS and grass
es; the sorghum vine is do
ing fine, and we shall have
molasses. The farmers say,
"We'll work all day, and
keep our plows a-humming,
and raise the fruits that jolt
the Teuts, and victory is
coming. We will not stand
for idle land, we'll till each
preach and acre, and put a
crimp in that big simp, old
Bill, the war lord faker.
Well SOW and reap while
idlers sleep, we'll waste no
time in preaching; we'll ply
our tools and push our mules
until they bust their breech-
ing" Our wheat and oats
will get the goats of kaisers
Carl and Billy: the beans we
raise, the rape and maize,
will drive those kaisers silly.
Our wheat is great, it's green
and straight, the stand is
most surprising, and it will
chill both Carl and Bill, and
make them sick of Raising.

SEEING THE LIGHT.

Some of the German lead
ers are apparently beginning
to see the light. George
Michaelis, former chancel-
lor of the German empire, in
a recent address said that
the war had been sent upon
the German people because
money began to rule among
us.
"God wanted to save us
from complete materializ-
ation," continued DR.. Mich
aelis. 81 would rather re-
nounce war indemnities, if
I again should be respon-
sible, than to see our people
placed by the payment of
their debts in the danger of
sinking into materialism. "
DIR. Michaelis has touch
ed upon the very keynote
of the trouble with the Ger
manic race. Grass material
ism has dominated German
thought for several gener-
ations, and while the leaders
gave utterance to a vast

ing of. Such people may be
poor in the eyes of the world,
but they have something
they would not trade for all
the other mans belongings.
Meanwhile, rest assured
that Nogales will eventually
demonstrate that it's pro-
blems are no different from
the problems Of other towns,
and their solution will come
in very much the same way
that they have elsewhere.

Got" it was solely for the
consumption of the masses.
The intellectuals of Germa-
ny were frankly materials
tic, when they chose to dis
close their personal views.
Their philosophers have de-
cried the theory Of eternal
life, they have secuted the
idea of man having an i'm
mortal soul, they have de-
MED every vital tenet of the
Christian faith. And their
views have been the views
held by the educated people
among them, even while they
were protesting before the
common people a hypocrital
fealty to the Christian God,
and declaiming that the
Christian God was especial l.
ly supporting the Materials
tic schemes of the atheistic
ruling class.
The civilized world has
gasped in amazement at the
atrocities committed by the
German nation, protesting
as it did the doctrines of the
Nazarene, whose teachings
were so utterly at variance
with the practices of the
Huns, his professed follow
ers.
The reason is not hard
to understand. The lead
ers of the German people
were not Christians. They
were heathenS OF the very
worst type, for they were not
only unbelieverS in every
thing that Christ taught, but
at the same time they were
hypocrites.
Deceiving their own peo-
pie, it is not difficult to see
that they would adopt the
standard of untruth and de-
ception in their relations
with the remainder of the
world that has compelled
the other nations to declare
that the pledges of the Ger
man government as at pre-
sent constituted are not
worth a straw.
Stripped of their preten-
sions to religion, they stand
forth as without any moral
law of guidance for their ac-
tions. And under those con
ditions their entire course of
conduct is as logical as the
sum of four when two and
two are added together.
It has been predicted that
one Of the results of the war
will be a tremendous revival
of spirituality throughout
the world. And it appears
that Germany herself will
need that revival in even
fuller measure than any
other nation, just as her des-
cent into materialism was so
much deeper as to make her
the soulless instigator of a
war that cast all divine law
to the four winds, and eleva-
ted brute strength to the pin
nacle from which they had
thrown down the Golden
Rule.

NOGALES is NOT DIFF
FERENT.

view his own little problems
as peculiar to himself. Note
the disconsolate lover who
has been disappointed in his
affections. It is useless to
argue with him that other
disconsolate swains have
gone though precisely the
same heart anguish he suf-
fers. HIS sufferings are at
least one degree more poig-
nant than ever mortal man
endured before.
So with communities.
Each community feels that
it is different from other
communities. Its people
are different from the peo-
pie who inhabit other towns
and cities.
Thus the writer is gravely
informed that problems in
civic decency and righteous
ness that have been met and
solved in other towns can
not be treated in the same
way in Nogales.
"This town is different, !"
protest these persons earn
estly.
Like the disconsolate
lover, they cannot conceive
that other towns have wrest-
led with just the same obsta-
cles had and the same diff
culties in their solution.
It is so trite that it is banal,
to say that human nature is
much the same everywhere.
Yet the worldly wise by
stander who hear the love-
lorn youth protest that he
suffers as no one else has
ever suffered, smiles and
wonders how many months,
or years,it will be before that
same youngster will come to
a realization that he is sim
ply re-enacting an age-old
drama, and that others will
re-enact it after him until the
end of time.
And so Nogales will some
day realize that she is no diff
ferent from other cities
That her problems are nc
different. That her people
are no different. And she
will travel the same path OF
wrestling with wrong, and
fighting against municipal
sins, in very much the same
way that other towns have
done.
Yes, and the final result
will be the same The
wrongs will be eliminated
not today, perhaps. Per
haps not tomorrow. But
in time they will go.
Those who bear their part
in making this possible will
not grow rich at the task.
The man who tries to make
the world better thinking
thereby to line his pocket
would do we'll to change his
calling.
But there are people in

more numerous than the
cynic can conceive-Who

An American major who until re-

the trick Of how to get fresh fish

The major was passing a lake just
in the rear OF our first line the other
afternoon when he saw a large pike
swimming along near the surface.
Next afternoon he came back to the
lake with a handful OF grenades. He
banged two Of them on a stone ana
dropped them into the water.
There were two muhled explosions
and then in about two minutes up
hoated three large pike, one OF them
nearly four feet long. The major
