Why, if we are to change our
form of government, and that is
what Townley proposes to do,
should we not wait till the war is
over and our citizen-soldiers, fight
ing in France, have returned and
given an opportunity to have some
thing 10 say? Can the farmers Of
Clearwater county not see which
way they are headed? ! Why not
stop and take stock, and check up,
and analyze and make sure that
this state is not done irreparable
injury before it is too late?

AN INTERESTED PARTY.

The writer has farmed in this
county the past year; we have in

Unidentified with the farmers. We
are interested in justice for the ag-

and our state. We have horses and
cows and pigs. and are interested
in everything that makes for better
prices and better conditions for the
producer We raised beans this sea-
son, and will grow another crop in
1919. We will have some hogs to
market in 1919. We will grow a
lot of corn and feed it to hogs; we
want square deal along with our
fellow farmers. But we don't want
to live under Socialism? We don't
want to farm in partnership with
Bill Haywood, Arthur LeSeuer and
the l. w. w. We know these fell
lows are not out for any love of the
farmer, but for the SIS. and the
power that comes thru an organiza-
ton like the League, of which MIR.
Townley is the Big Boss, and out of
which an army of slick Socialist
agitators are waxing fat at the ex-
pense of the farmer.
We know that the l. w. w. is an
anarchistic, disloyal. criminal gang;
and damaged the farmers all they

the farmers to unite with the Nv.

COUNTY SEAT REMOVAL AGAIN
(From the FL PasO Herald)
(From the Tucson Daily Starr

At intervals almost regular, the fight is renewed in
Cochse County, Arizona for the removal OF the county
seat from Tombstone to other place. Douglas is
the leading candidate for courthouse hOnors with Bisbee
next The fight is again 1t waged last year and
the wear before that Up to now, little Tombstone has
held her own what she considers her own against SUI
perior numbers Tombstone has tight grip on the
county seat and means to maintain it,
Douglas people contend it is too far to tombstone
and that more than two-thrds of the population OF the
county is in the southern part therefore, the county
seat ought to be removed to central location from
standpoint of population Tombstone contends that the
county seat is now located at about the geographical cen
ter of the county, with good roads leading thereto from
all directions especially from Bsbee and Douglas, and
tv to compel residents say of Bowie Wilcox and San
Simon to 90 almost to the southern boundary OF the
county in order that the courthouse might be dspropor
tonatelv convenient to the southern residents
Whatever may be the merit OF these arguments there
is no DENYING that this is not the best time to build new
c0urthouses and county seats unless the need is r
cent and there is no evidence that the need II one EXISTS
IS any more urgent now than for the past several years.
There are many demands on the taxpayers money Ev
erv dollar that might go into building new courthouse
now is needed for Liberty bond purchases.
Bsbee has no room for courthouse One might DE

ed and many doubt whether Warren could be considered

therefore DOUGLAS the only real candidate for the co
v seat Douglas will probably get it, in tme but this IS
hardly the time.

ternlusters corps is having difficulty in
obtaining the desired quantity and
quality. About 100000 pounds Of
lemon drops are used each month at
the present time, or about rs per cent
Of the amount Of candy furnished the
army.
The lemon drops being supplied the
army are made of pure granulated
sugar and Favored with an emulsion
made from the rind of the lemon. The
extra sour lemon drop is the favorte

is being followed by the candy manu-
facturers supplying the army.
The entire output Of all factories in
the United States making soluble cof
fee is being purchased by the quarter
masters corps for the army, but it is
not sufficient to meet the demand !;
new companies are being organized
and large capital is being expended to
insure largely increased output.
Soluble coffee is used in the front
line trenches, where it is not possible
always to have hot water because it
cannot be brought up from the rear
and fire to heat water causes smoke
which invites the fire of the enemy.
The men can make good coffee from
the cold water which they carry in
their canteens.

Colonel Churchill, chief Of the mil
itary intelligence branch of the gen
eral staff, warns American editors
against publication, as authentic and
reliable, of statements in letters from
American prisoners in German camps
of the excellence Of the food and gen.
eral treatment Of the prisoners.
An officer of the military intelligence
branch who spent two years of the
war in Germany reports that there are
certain rules laid down by the German
military authorities for all prisoners
in letter writing. The price they pay
for the transmission of their letters is
that they must state that they are we'll
treated, that the food is good and that
they are cOntented. The letters of the
prisoners are carefully censored at the
prison camp and any statements made
contrary to the rules laid down for
letter writing simply means destruc-
ton Of the letter.
1t is concluded, therefore, that any
information coming from American
prisoners in Germany is absolutely I'M
reliable and should not be published in
American newspapers or magazines as
in any way authentic. A few letters
from apparently c0ntented American
prisoners in camps have made their
appearance already in American news
papers.

The Red Cross is buying up these

Red Cross Will take UP stocks of yarn

from those who hold unreported stocks

The United Stctes has vast known
sulphur deposits guaranteeing an album
dant supply for the manufacture of
sulphuric acid and other necessary war
materials for the successful prosecu-
ton of the war.
Two great plants are now turning
out most of the sulphur needed. One
is in Louisiana and the other in Texas.
There are two other known deposits
which can be opened up quickly in
case of necessity. Preliminary work
on one of these is under progress to
meet any unexpected emergency, such
as destruction Or damage by hurricane
as occurred recently at the Louisiana
plant.
Sulphur is melted in the ground by
steam and hot water and forced to the
surface through wells where the molten
sulphur solidifies on exposure to the
air. The sulphur deposit underlies a
bed of quicksand through which it is
impossible to drive shafts and mine in
the ordinary way. The development Of
this project is one of the interesting
mechanical achievements of the past
decade, and the United States is now
by far the greatest producer of sui
phur.

A Million Lithuanians

The LithBanians in Europe number about 100000. Scattered through the Baltic provinces and in various other parts of the world, including, the United States, there are another million and 8 half making a total Lithuanian world population of some four and one-half millions, Nearly a million are in this country.
 The million Lithuanians in this country are chiefly workers in the mines, factories and stock yards. They are known as among the most industrious and law abiding of our foreign-born citizens More than 3O.- 900 of them are now fighting in the United States forces overseas, and 50 per cent of these are volunteers. The Lithuanians will not form a part of i the new Slavic legion, which is to include Poles, Russians, and other Slavic peoples.

DOINGS IN THE SPORT WORLD
SENIOR GYM
 CLASS ORGANIZES

After having performed some good gymnastics, military marching, set ting up exercises and gymnastic danc- ing, a medicine ball relay was held between four teams. The class en- joyed this race particularly. It makes the contestant want to get away fast with the ball but the weight of it pre- vents him from doing so and some times the ball is dropped which makes the whole class have some real fun.
 The race was repeated three times at the request of the class-one team scored 2-1.
 Four teams were formed for the volley ball contest. Two nets were extended and the players showed great activity from the beginning till the end. At times the ball went back and forth with great velocity and gave the players a good sweat up. Ar thur Rogers came out victorious.
 After the usual dip in the swimming pool a meeting was held to organize the Gym class in a club.
 Walter Snow was elected chairman, Arthur Rogers, secretary; committee members, Philip Durbin, UrgelI Mar tell and Michael Terita.
 A similar plan as the one used for the noon business mems class has been adopted. An individual contest will be held ending the last week in l December, also a team contest will be l held at the same time.
 The prize will be awarded to the three individuals who have the high ] est score for regular attendance 1 bringing in new members and winning l games.
 For the team contest the team who has the highest score for regular at l tendance, victories, and new mem 1 bers.
 No doubt with such a scheme the i members of the different classes will take great interest and develop the l determination to bring their own rec ] ord and the team record to victory
