 different than the former partisan system used pro- uca The chosen to govern the the forthcoming term about equally Republicans and Democrats politically Being chosen partisan basis the election what their fellow townsmen think of the successful candidates Their victory is victory of men, not of party.
 There is good why town officers should be se leced for partisan The best fitted administer affairs not centered in any party They should be avail able when they wanted without consideration of politics.

YUCCA CUTTER BOON
TOCATTLE GROWERS

What will probably be one of the
greatest bOons to the cattle grower of
the great southwest, especially in dry
seasOrS is to be found in what is
termed a Yucca cutter. which puts such
products as the SOtol. soap weed. the
yucca plant and even the cactus into an
edible form for cattle. For many years
stocknen in various parts of the west
have realized the food values of these
desert plants and have prepared them
In primitive way for stock food. After
much research work and experimenting
this new cutter has been perfected and
proven very successful in handling
| these plants in great quantities

feeders and breeders of cattle, their
ranch located 80 miles from Congress

analysis made Of the species Of Yucca
which abOunds in their section. have
Just installed an outfit consisting of a
Yucca cutter with capacity of grind
ing feed for one thousand head of cat
tie, driven by an eight horse power
/ Slower engine. mounted on a truck the
purchase being made from the Pratt
Gilbert company. Mr.. Bradshaw, man
! ager of the CD Cattle company claims
that that portion of the Yucca plant
known as the leaf or stalk, the green
part of the plant, contains the same
/ qualities as does h. and does not have
the effect of weakening cattle as does
cactus when fed. He saws in the west
ern part of ravapai county there are
] thousands of acres covered with this
Yucca plant as large as trees with
several tons Of food on each plant Only
the green portion of the plant will be
utilized for feed, leaving the stalk to

RUBBER HOSE

A good many car owners who buy
gasoline by the barrel have rugged up
ordinary rubber hose attachments for
running the fuel into the tank. Now
gasoline quickly destroys rubber and
the particles getting into the fuel
cause trouble. 1t is advisable, there

special type for this purpose.

WHAT THE RED CROSS
HAS DONE FOR HIM
E. N. Phillips Of Ray has received the
following letter from his son Francis

Warrington, Lancashire, Eng.


Warrington, Lancashire, Eng.
My Dear Father,
Ray, Arizona.
Well, l am up and out of bed and l
intend to stay up, providing, | don't
have another "set back" You see !
have had three operations in this hos
pital alone, and one in France. | think
that is about enough, don't you? An
other thing, don't get the impression
that because | am up | am well. The
wound is far from well, it discharges
all the time.
You see it was an explosive machine
gun bullet and it hit me in the back,
fracturing the scapula of the spine and
tearing my right shoulder blade in
splinters. l expect to have some use of
my right arm, because ] am writing
this letter. 1t is the first 1 have writ
ten myself since getting hurt; my COM
rades wrote the others.
Papa, thank the Red Cross people at
Ray for me. l appreciate their great
kindness but tell them have not so far
received anything from them. Wyndon
and l expect to get back to Toronto
at least by March and then we will
make a Decline for home.
Well Wyndon and l are extremely
lucky in getting through with such
slight wounds. For my part when we
went 'over the top on September 2
at Arras, don't see for the life of me
why we were not all killed. Our 18th
battalion was 1,150 men strong when
we went over but on arrival at the
point of their objective there were but
143 of that battalion left. Seven hun
bred and fifty-eight paid the extreme
sacrifice the rest were casuals or
wounded. Wyndon was wounded in
the head and shoulder before l was
hurt. l helped him to the ambulance
and saw him off. then returned and in
Is minutes later got hit never want
to see things again that saw that day.
Sherman said war was 'helr but il
hell is one third as bad as that day, it
is an awful wicked and terrible place.
o cannot explain. l just must forget
it and live the present. The past is too
awful and almost proved too much for
me. l will cry out l have had enough.
| Well 1 must close. Much love to you
| and mama.
| Your loving son,

TO RESTRICT AUTOMOBILE
MAKERS IN USE OF FUEL
Fuel Administrator Garfield Con-
firms Statement Regarding Cur
failing Fuel for Pleasure Cars.

Special TO The World,
ADA, Okla, June 22.--Automobile
manufacturers are to be restricted IN
their use OF fuel during the war. ac-
cording to information given out here
today by p. A. Norris. federal fuel
administrator for oklahoma.
Fuel Administrator Garfield has
confirmed the statement he made
some time ago in regard to the cur
tailment OF fuel for the manufac-
ture of pleasure automobiles" Mr.
Norris said. "He stated that the
general question of curtailing this
Industry is now in the hands Of the

board. The fuel administrator, how
ever, feels responsible to limit tho
amount of fuel used in the manufac-
ture Of pleasure automobiles to what
ever extent the national situation

field made II plain even II steel Is
available for larger production,
he will be compelled to limit the
fuel for the manufacture of pleasure
automobiles in the season l9lS-19 to
NOT over 25 per cent Of that con-
sumed for this purpose in the season
1917-1S.
The enormous increase In the de-
mand for coal in connection with the
war has convinced the fuel admins.
traitor that II would be jeopardizing
the vital interests of the country to
permit fuel to be used in the man
ufacture OF larger number OF
pleasure automobiles than the 25 per
cent mentioned above.
This curtailment does not affect
the manufacture of trucks or other
