WHEN THE MOON CHANGED

DOUGLAS, March 12. - That a change of weather would come with a change of the moon has been con fidently predicted here for the past week. The moon changed just as it has been doing since the chorus of the morning stars and with it came a change of weather but not in the way expected. Nearly a foot of fresh snow fell last night and this morning and the playful zephyrs toyed with it until many drifts which were but 15 feet yesterday, are now from IS to 20 feet high and still building up

JUNIOR R. c. SHIPMENT

DOUGLAS, March 12.-The Junior Red Cross has two standard sized Red Cross boxes filled with cleaned and repaired clothes ready for ship ment on the next south-bound steam CT. There are also shoes and stock ings in the layout. The high school boys manufactured the boxes and as they were not immediately dispatched the boxes which were tight when completed, became as porous as a paling fence through shrinking and the result was that they had to be taken apart and reconstructed. All of which shows that flannel under wear has nothing on Alaska lumber when it comes to shrinking.

The annual state tax conference
for 1918 will be held July 22d at
Grand Canyon, at which time the
tax commission and the county
assessors, the clerks of the board
of supervisors and the super
visors will take their annual va
cation at the expense of the tax
payers. At this conference the
tax commission will present some
new scheme for the big interests
to escape their just proportion of
the tax burden, and unload it on
the little taxpayer, as that is
the commissions idea of equal

The republican party in Ari-
zona should draft Frank Woods,
of Phoenix, as it's candidate for
Congress this fall. Mr.. Woods
is a conductor on the Santa Fe
running out of Phoenix, and is
an ideal representative of organ
lied labor. This spring he was
a candidate for mayor of his city,
and was defeated by a narrow
majority through the organized
opposition of the gamblers, boot
leggers and prostitutes, and the
idle beneficiaries of these Grim
inal elements. The man who has
the antagonism of these elements
is just the kind of man the re.
publicans should nominate for q
standard bearer, because it signi.
fies he stands for a clean, honest
government; he is also a true
representative of labor, which is
another cardinal principle of the
republican party.

An application has been made
to the courts for an injunction to
prevent any one filing as a candi-
date for the position of tax COM
mission to succeed Rudolph
Kuchler, who was appointed by
Gov. Campbell, on the theory he
was appointed for the full unex-
pired term for which the member
was elected. We do not know
what position the courts will take,
but if Mr.. Kuchler is afraid his
work as a member will not meet
approval at the hands of the
people in the general election,
that is the very reason he should
lose out in his injunction. If the
courts removed all three of the
members the people would be
better off, and the state would
save about $35, 900 a year that is
now annually spent for the main
tenance of the department.

This office is in receipt of the
formal announcement and plat
form of Judge A. S. Hawkins,
of Phoenix, who is a candidate
for the democratic nomination
for Attorney General. We are
not personally acquainted with
Judge Hawkins, but a reading of
his declaration of principles in
clines us to the belief that he
would make a wonderful i'm
provement over the present in
cumbent. Among other things
Mr.. Hawkins says that if elected
to the high office his official
opinions would be carefully and
soberly considered so as to .at
least command respect. Legal
opinions given by an attorney
general when he was sober would
be a grateful boon to the state of
Arizona, and we find ourselves
almost in favor of making Mr..
Hawkins election unanimous,
Notwithstanding he is a democrat.

The Valley Bank of Phoenix,
one of the favored institutions
that is handling the funds of the
state treasurer. has served notice
on the Phoenix Messenger that
it will do no more advertising
because they are not pleased
with the editorial policy of the
paper. The Messenger will not
suspend publication by the loss
of a 81 monthly advertising ac-
count. The newspaper that per-
mits itself to be controlled by
some advertiser who thinks he is
buying the editorial policy of a
paper when he spends a few
dollars for advertising is a fail
ure, and we are glad to know
MIR. Mills takes the same view.
This little incident gets us right
back to a confirmation of the po-
sition taken by the Winslow Mail
for some time. The democratic
party in Arizona is in the hands
of the copper companies and the
corporations, and with the single
exception of the governors office,
they dominate every state official.
No man can get nominated for
state treasurer on the democratic
ticket who will not in advance
pledge himself to handle the
state funds as directed by the
big interests, and that means the
Valley Bank of Phoenix will be
the directing power. Perhaps
if Mr.. Mills would forget for a
time some of his democracy, and
join with other good citizens in
trying to clean out the nest of
grating, subsidized public Off
cials who have been preying on
the public, and been the plant
tools of the corporations and
mining companies, such institu-
tions as the Valley Bank would
take a different view of their
rights and privileges to dictate
the editorial policy of the news
papers by spending a few dollars
for advertising. However dis
tasteful it may be to Mr.. Mills,
the fact remains that the demo.
cratic party in Arizona is owned
body, soul and britches by the
corporations and mining com.
panies. and the only reason they
could never defeat Gov. Hunt
was because he got the support
of the laboring men of all politi-
cal parties.

A delegation of newspaper
publishers are besieging Con-
gress to suspend the operation of
the zone system for newspaper
postage, which goes into effect
July 1st, for one year. Why de-
lay the law? 1t has been clearly
proven that the present postal
rate is losing proposition to the
government, running into thous-
ands of dollars year, and the
sooner this leak is stopped the
better. Publications of all kinds
should be compelled to pay a
sufficient rate for postage to
cover the cost of handling, and
if they have to have government
aid to keep going it is evident
there is no particular demand for
the article. The big Sunday
dailies and the magazines are
nothing but big advertising bulle-
tins that bring millions into the
counting rooms, and all these
years the government has acted
as the distributing agent and pay
ing out money for the privilege.
1t is time the government was
exercising a little business ability.

The special session of the le

The special session of the legis-

inglorious history, did one sensi-
BILE thing at least. 1t passed a
joint resolution recommending
that the people of Arizona who
spend their money every year
going to California or some other
outside resort, should during the
war spend their vacations in the
mountains of Arizona, and view
the wonders of nature that dot
the state in nearly every section.
1t would not only make for econ
omy, but would relieve the rail-
road congestion, and be revela-
tion to the people of the beauty
of Arizona scenery and it's health
full climate. The resolution also
suggests that with men dying on
the battlefields in France it would
be better if the people spent their
vacations in secluded spots to
commune with God rather than
rush to resorts where crowds are
needless and life is too artificial.

Do This After You Eat
Hot Weather "Out of Fix" Stomachs
Easily Put Right

When hot weather comes, stomach
and bowel miseries begin. Strong,
sound stomachs as we'll as weak ones
are easily affected by the harmful
gases and acids so often produced in
the things we eat and drink during
hot weather. Winter-Nature' ice
box, is gone-hot weather breeds
the poisonous germs that cause pto-
maine poison in all it's many forms.
Every one knows that the after-eat-
ing nausea, belching, that wretched,
bloated, "lumpy" feeling, sour stom-
ach, heartburn, food repeating, and
other forms of indigestion and dys-
pepsia are far more frequent during
hot weather. It is the time when you
have to guard constantly against an
upset stomach and the many ills that
are always apt to follow. Then again
we have the worlds war to win
with the change of diet and extra
work which means we must all care
fully guard our stomachs this year
keep ourselves fit and fine.

has been found for stomach sufferers,
which makes it possible for you to eat

would increase many fold in little
while.
That is one big phase Of the dog
question-this fact that the presence
Of too many dogs prevents the general
raising of animals whose flesh and
wool are both seriously needed for
our armies overseas. BUTT is a phase
of it that does not necessarily come
into consideration at all. Of course
your dog is not a sheep-killing dog.
Nobody's dog ever was a sheep-killing
dog - until, suddenly, some mans
sheep were slaughtered and that dog
was found to have blood on his chaps
and wool in his teeth.
The United States department of
agriculture is not an enemy to the
dog - it recognizes certain definite
uses for that animal, but it realizes
that the country could get on mighty
we'll with much fewer dogs than it
has, and that both the actual and po-
tential meat supply of the country
would be greatly increased thereby.
1t has recently sent out several ap-
peals on that point. If you have a
dog that serves genuinely useful
purpose, keep him. He is a good citi-
zen. But to help in the worlds sal
vation, get rid Of the useless dog!
