Probably the largest fortune s
that ever came from a very {
small grubstake was that at !:
Tombstone mines, when Richard !:

In 1878, Gird, who had been vain ::

dozen years in South America,

went down to southwestern Ari- :
zona. The Apaches were raid !:
Ing and numbering at that time, :
and the territory was deserted !.
by white settlers. Gird was told +?
that he would get tombstone /
rather than a fortune there. D.:
Hence the name Tombstone for !:
the mines. :
He found no trace Of pay ore
where he expected 1t. and was ;
about to come back to southern .
California.
One morning he fell In with
other prospectors, the Scheffelin
, brothers. They said they be-
lieved they had found rich ore,
but they wanted to have 1t as +!
sayed before they would risk
their lives in that Apache coun-
try digging for something that
would not pay them. Gird was
, an assayer. He agreed to do
the assaying at TuscOn for the
brothers free and to give sew
erai hundred dollars worth OF
food and clothing for third in
terest In the mines, providing ,
the assay proved what he be-
lieved it would be. That was in
May, 1870. Mr.. Glrd sold his
third interest in the Tombstone
mines In the following October,
after the memorable stampede
there of 10000 miners from all
parts of the Union, for 81, 2,14O,-

 The only weak spot in the foregoing is the sug- gestion possible failure pay them out There should be determination pay them out; then they will be paid out When buys bond and is en- gagged in paying it out he is working toward ob- ject that inspires him with respect himself and freshened determination to win the game Happiness does consist much in the possession of thing in going after it with unalterabe determination of getting it. Any s>cessful will admit that his happest years those spent in making good from day day rather those later years spent in contemplation of his triumphs
 Every United States bond is worth 100 per cent of it's face. Every United States bond long before maturity got to be worth than 100 per cent of it's face. In addition the value of the Liberty bonds there is great deal of uncommercial- ized and uncommerciazable satisfaction.
 No doubt, the banks would rather lend money on Liberty bonds than on any other collateral partly be- these bonds are absolutely safe security and partly because the bankers realize that every such bond has something to do with Americansm; it is a factor also, in American achievement. The only property many Americans have bought in years is Liberty bond
 The man who buys a Liberty bond commands of respect that would not otherwise attach to him. He has a different standing in the eyes of bankers, businessmen generally and his neighbors. Two factors make up the volume of respect which he is entitled--the amount he has bought and the amount he could have bought This brings us around to the statement of Thomas Brooks Fletcher the other night: Do not judge man by the amount he has spent for Liberty bonds, but by what he has left

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
Capital Punishment

Ed. Republican,:
 \ few years ago there were three slogans in vogue in our land: T did not raise :ly boy to be a soldier" He kept us out of war Abolish capital pun lshment" We did not raise our boys to be soldiers. We are paying for it now by having to stand by and watch d juggernaut overrun the civilized world while we are making soldiers out of the men who. as boys, were not raised to be soldiers. We will ! make soldiers of our men, (and of our boys). and we will crush the bar barous power, but we and the world ! Will pay fearful price for our lack of preparedness.
 ] He kept Us out of War'-for awhile, but We are today in the throes of the most terrible war of history. We abolished capital punishment, and today, when our people are united in great war, when there is demand for every activity, an outlet for every energy, when there is no room or occasion for the ordinary compett- l tons and disputes and personal ami mosities that in times Of peace lead to personal encounters and to crime When there is no emplanation of crime except as the act of a degen crate, we are in the midst of an orgy ot murders and other crimes-Why? .? largely because of the weak, namby- pamby, maudlin sentimentality thrt dld not raise our boys to be soldiers and that abolished capital punishment.
 No one will go farther than my self in respecting and hOnoring the sacredness of human life. But we are sacrificing the lives fthe flower of our land in the cause of justice Shall we offer up the lives of the best in our beloved country in thousands and hundreds of thousands, and at the same time say that human life is such sacred thing that we Will not take it from the cold bloodeG murderer? Shall we honor the lowest criminal above the immortal heroes who for us and with our approval and support arc throwing their lives into the mouths of the barbarians' cah- noon? Shall we encourage murder by taking and keeping from it the de- terrert as well as corrective punish ment? Shall We ourselves take a share of the responsibility fer many or the murders that are committed to- day. because of our making the lof o fthe murderer easy and safe? It is not time that we should realize that this is a world of stern facts as well as Of idle theories? We were forced to make soldiers of our boys We were forced from keeping out of war Let us take the other step and re- vert to that other safeguard of civil llzauon, capital punishment.

public enemy. That statement receives added force in war time. The destroy CT of food gives aid and comfort 10 the enemy. The predatory cat is a Hun and should be accorded a Huns de- serts.
 Fully one-half of all the chickens matched in this city is destroyed by cats. Many a hopeful wife has seen the broods diminish until every chick has disappeared before the feathers have more than started. She says helplessly: The cats have killed all of my little chicks. There is no use trying to raise poultry in this town" If that idea gets thoroughly imbeddei in the minds of most of the women folks it means the permanent abandonment of one of the most productive sources of food. 1t means higher prices for eggs and poultry. Freed from the dep- relations of cats, the supply would be double what it is now. That is plain statement of facts and no one who has given the subject moments study or has had any experience in the matter will deny it. Something should be done about it. l suggest city ordinance requiring the licensing of every cat at license fee of $5 purr. In addition, the ordinance should require every cat at large to wear OF. bell. I 'sug- gest that the fund arising from the fees be used to pay bounties of 15 cents per head for every unlicensed cat and for every licensed cat not toting his bell. The fruit raisers ought to be willing to pay 15 cents per head for the cats for their fertiliZing value. The captur- ing of predatory cats would be a public service worthy of the best efforts of the Boy Scuts.
 Here is a practical measure guaran- teeing the conservation and the pro- duction of food. Who will get it into action?

The Plaque of Cats

To the Editor of The Republican:
 Sir: Spring has arrived in her fresh, new vesture of green. The clucking hens give notice that they are disposed to immensely increase the gallinaceous population. The loyal housewife, at tentive to Hooverian advice, proceeds to give the material instincts of the hens full satisfaction with nests filled with penciled eggs. The cats. true to their predacious instincts, lick their chops in anticipation of feasts on juicy and tasty confections in meat done up in little yellow balls of down. The fruit trees put out their buds and lift up their limbs in prayer for more fertilizer to feed their roots. Some of the trees blossom joyously and give promise of much fruit for their roots entwine the carasses of chicken thieving cats slain by the provident husbands or the Hoo- verizing wives. A single well directed P bullet has been known to save a dozen chickens and to fill several large sized baskets with luscious fruit.
