SOLVE FARM LABOR PROBLEM
Subject Which Agricultural Depart
ment Has Given More Thought to
Than Any Other, According
to Secretary Houston.

The farm labor problem has pre-
scented and continues to present many
difficulties, Secretary Houston said the
other day. 1t is one of the two or three
subjects to which the department has
given more thought than to any 9TH
ers, he said, not only since this COun-
try entered the war, but for many
months prior to that time. There has
been before the farmers the question
of retaining sufficient number of
year-round skilled laborers and also
Of meeting the urgent needs at the
planting and harvesting periods. Farm
ers in the ncighborhood of cities
where there has been great redirection
of labor and capital and also where
the environments and other special en-
terprises have been under way. have
been greatly embarrassed, Secretary
Houston said.

lABOR-S SAVING MACHINERY
TO CONSERVE MAN POWER.

One Of the important meas
ures urged by the department of
agriculture to help meet the la
Dor needs this year is the largest
possible production and fullest
use of farm labor-saying ma
chinery. The department has
actively interested itself in Sc
curing priority for raw mate
rails used in the manufacture Of
farm implements and also in Sc
curing favorable consideration
ut the hands of transportation
; committees to provide facilities
for moving the materials TO the
: manufacturers, and the COM
pleted products from the manu-
: facturcrs TO the distributors and
. also To the farmers. Both those
: dealing with priorities Of mate
. rails and those dealing with pri-
critics of transportation have
. evlnced q complete willingness
to assist. This is Indicated by
. the fact that the priorities COM
! mittee of the war industries
: board gave raw materials need
!. ed for farm implements Il posi-
: ton Of preference over all ar
!. ticleS except those urgently re-
: CURED for military and naval
!. purposes, and that the trans
!: portation committee took steps
!. to secure the prompt movement
: of the raw materials and of the
!. manufactured articles.

CONNECTS AT FLORENCE
 ASSAULT CONTRACTOR

Frank J. Vaughan, an elderly Bisbee painting contractor, in charge of the work of painting the state prison at Florence, Ariz., was surrounded by an angry crowd of about seventy-five life-term convicts Monday, stripped of his clothing and while some of the men held him others piled brushes, covering him with paint. Vaughan was rescued by the guards irnmedi- ately after the painting process was completed, it is reported here. This probably saved Vaughan from even rougher usage at the hands of the convicts. ...
 The convicts are said to have been angered because of statement made by Vaughan in a letter to a labor pa per published in Phoenix, and having statewide circulation, which appeared July 19, that while he found no union men in the prison he had found plenty of "scabs and gunmen" and if he wish ed to use prisoners for the common labor, there were plenty of scabs and gunmen, with more on the way there, whom he could use.
 The convicts are said to have used strategy to lure the guards to the other end of the prison yard, most of them making a sudden move in that direction, the guards following them. A smaller number, about seventy-five in all, stayed behind, and after the guards had left, seized Vaughan.
 Vaughan returned here Wednesday minus a mustache he had worn for years and since he has been here. He said nothing of his experience and ar rivals here gave the first intimation of the occurrence today. Later, press and personal telegrams confirmed it in all particulars.-Bisbee Cor, Doug las Dispatch.

MOVEMENT TO SEE THAT
 SOLDIERS GET LETTERS

. When Mime. Philippe Berard inaugu- rated the movement which resulted in thousands of American women adopt ing soldier Godsons for the period of the war, new ray of sympathy and helpfulness sprang out from the sun of Mercy which has shone undimmed throughout the war gloom. French soldiers who were separated from their families through the German in- vasion and to whom the mails brought no word of love or cheer, were dropping in spirit. With woman's intuition, Mime. Berard devined their needs, and founded what was known as "Mon Soldat" (My Soldier). So successful was that movement, so wonderful and beneficial the effect on the disheartened troops, that pages of newspaper space have been devoted to the subject.
 It is now pointed out by western Red Cross worker that such move ment is necessary among American women to look after our own boys at the front. Those who are in camps in this country are splendidly looked after by all branches of workers; they are entertained and made to feel that the community is at their service-as it really is. But when the boys arrive overseas, and the letters begin to pour in from admiring friends and loving relatives-how about those boys who are without family or kin or the kind of friends who will write them word of cheer or encouragement? They might be compared with the poor waifs who see Christmas presents and Santa Claus only through the neigh bors' window. Mime. Berard tells of strong, brave officers confessing to her that they have gone to their tents and actually wept when the mails brought them no letters. "When the womanhood of the world makes us feel we are more than merely a part of a fighting machine" one soldier said, "then there seems to be more to fight for. have seen letter passed around and read until it was practi- cally worn out-just because it was penned by some woman who cared about us and who encouraged and blessed.
 There is some woman in every com munity to take up movement like this. "If a group of ten, fifteen or twenty women can be prevailed upon to give a little time each week to write regularly to one or more friend less boys at the front" suggests the Red Cross worker who has acted as godmother to several appreciative French soldiers since the war began and the movement given the right kind of publicity, it would be but 3 short time before this class of Ameri- can soldiers would be bouyed up by the friendly hand extended in this manner. Names and descriptions of boys without family or kin could pos sibly be obtained at National Red Cross Headquarters in Washington

JIMMY DOUGLAS
 TELLS THE STRAIGHT
 TRUTH AS TO PEACE

"This war will not be finished until it is finished right. That will be when the Stars and Stripes are marching in triumph through the streets of Der lin. Before there is any peace, the German people must have brought home to them some part of the deso- lation that they have strewn through Serbia, Belgium, France and wherever their army has gone.
 "There is no doubt that we can whip Germany. But there is one thing l fear and that is that when the tune comes for her to sue for peace we will let our sympathies run away with us and we will stop too soon. We are a strong people and our sympathies are just as strong and are easily worked on.
 "We must have no peace until the German people have been given their lesson. They must be given dose of the same medicine that they have been giving to the countries they nave overrun."
 The above statements, expressed by James Douglas in an address before an audience that filled the great audi torium and balcony of the new Central Christian church at Phoenix, were ap- plauded and cheered by his auditors. The speaker had struck the popular chord, the one to which all responded, and he was interrupted at intervals by the applause as his statements came home to his auditors.

WANTED HERE BUT
 JAIL HOLDS THEM

Harry Black and Fred St. Clair, wanted in Maricopa county to answer charges of stealing motorcycle and an automobile, have been captured in Coconino county, but will not be re- turned for trial here. Advices from Sheriff w. G. Dickinson of Coconino received by Sheriff w. H. Wilky last night are that the two wanted here are held at Flagstaff on two separate charges of highway robbery.
 Sheriff Dickinson writes that these men known there as Charles Snyder and Fred Cameron asked a man to drive them around the country as they wanted to buy an automobile. Fifteen miles east of Flagstaff they held the man up with pistols and forced him to sign bill of sale for the car, then pr him out of the car and dashed off. They went 90 miles north, lost their way and returned to within a few miles of Flagstaff. They asked an- other motorist to loan them a little gas. While the motorist was getting the gas they pulled revolvers and held him up, taking money and three guns. They then proceeded to Winslow, where they were captured.
 While in Maricopa county Black and St. Clair went to Mesa in a Dodge car they had stolen, Sheriff Wilky's rec ords show, and traded the Dodge for a new Dort. The Dort was later traded for a secondhand Chandler car. Further operations of the two in- cluded the theft of a motorcycle Phoenix Republican.

LEARN AUTO SIGNALS
 AND AVOID ACCIDENTS

Arm extended upward-will turn to the right. ,
 Arm extended horizontally-will turn to the left.
 Arm extended downward-will slow down without turning.
 The above is the new common sense" code of traffic signals that originated in Portland and is destined to spread wherever automobiles are driven. The Automobile Club of Southern California in the south and the Motor Car Dealers Association of San Francisco in the northern part of the state, have investigated every type of signal carefully and agreed that the code given above combines safety and simplicity in manner which makes it's universal adoption highly desirable. The northern deal ers' body has been largely instrument al in bringing the scheme before the public.
 It now remains for the motorists of the state to familiarize themselves with the three signals, tell other drlv- CTS about them and help educate the public to the advantages of the new scheme. Traffic experts believe that a reduction of at least fifty per cent of the number of accidents resulting from collision will be noted if univer- sal adoption of this code is secured.
 Under present conditions when the driver puts his arm out there is no way for the man in the car behind, or in a car approaching, to know what the driver intends to do. Three moves, turn to the right, turn to the left, or stop are possible. The concise set of signals now recom- mended for the use of all motorists by the auto club entirely eliminates this element of uncertainty. - Needles Nugget.

Young Aviator Taken As Canadian
 Deserter.

Allen Marshall, a young man who came to Prescott several weeks ago wearing the uniform of lieutenant in the Canadian Flying Corps, was taken into custody by Lieutenant George H. Mackay of Toronto, Ont, charged with being a deserter from the Canadian army. Officer Mackay and his prisoner left for the north Monday afternoon. According to the story told by Mackay, young Mar shall had been in the Royal flying service but had been given leave of absence following an aerial accident. The young man came here and when called upon to return to his duties in the Dominion, refused to do so, stat ing that he was unable to travel.-- Prescott Journal Miner.

YUMA INDIANS HOLD
 PECULIAR TRIBAL CEREMONIAL
(Continued from Page D

tacle was attractive, full of life, color and significance. The bucks wore their finest array of costumes and feathers, the women their brightest "tek- -kwa-ak," with bead collars, cuffs, belts and trimmings of their own manufacture.
 When the dance and song-prayer had been carried to the proper point, the fighting began, on foot and on horseback. In full tribal regalia war riors of the Cocopah defended their fort against the attacks of the united Mojave and Yuma, whipped them off, and chased the macross the plains and over the mountains until the remnant of the tribe took refuge on the mesa of impregnable Sierra Mayor.
 Next on the program was the sage, the recital of tribal achievements, praise of the great dead, accompanied always by lamentation in chorus by the women. Occasionally there would be an outburst of oratory that would inflame and excite the men to such an extent that their outcry overwhelmed and silenced hat of the squaws.
 One striking feature was that of Cachorra, the Lizard; only about five feet tall, dressed in trousers and blouse of the U. s. cavalry of about 1875, with long grey curls hanging from under a small straw hat, the old man stood and sang the glories of the days of long ago, while the chorus joined in lament and the spectators wondered at his virility in spite of the years he carries.
 After the Dance of the Eagle, a weird rythmic chant and dance where in six braves stood side by side, nov ing from right to left and back, each holding a stalk of arrow-weed tipped with the feather of an eagle, followed the Harvest Dance, in which opposing lines of men went through motions somewhat resembling those of the sailors hornpipe, excepting that the feet were never moved.
 Promptly at midnight, the images were taken down from the temples rafters by relatives of the dead, who then danced and sang in commemora- tion of qualities possessed, deeds per formed and glories inherited, together with applications for eternal favor and happiness to be bestowed upon the departed souls. This part of the ceremony was vaguely, strangely sug- gestive of the Mass of All Souls, of the Roman Catholic Church, the high priests being Frank Pascual, titular chief of the tribe; Chapo Jackson, tribal counsellor; Cachorra, Joe Homer, Luke Sheridan and Lincoln Johnson.
 Just as the darkest part of night lowered it's mantle over the world, fire was set to the temple, amid the wail- ing and rejoicing of the entire as- semblage, and the temple with all it's contents went up in flame and fell in ashes, men, women and children quick ly disappearing in the direction of their homes, and daylight discovered nothing alive except a few foraging hounds and small wild creatures of an inouisitive nature. Spirits of the dead had been fittingly inducted into their final homes. Proper offerings had been made for the future of the tribe The festival was over.
