count Of the burning Of their
school building there last week:
The Cloverton school building
was burned to the ground Tues

to have caught in the basement
and following the pipes was in
the wall before discovered. a
crowd Of men and school chill
dren endeavored to put out the

could not be done and everyone
took hold to save the furniture
and equipment. The school girls

a will and everything movable
was removed to safe distance
including q larger pile Of FIRE
wood.
The lack of any location to con-
duct school will require = tempo
rary building at once, which
will be under construction as
soon as material is secured.
We believe many are Of the
opinion that a town hall build
ing should be erected on 4 lot
and rented to the school district
for the present emergency.

Moorhead and fourth at the Northern
show in Duluth. At the respective
shows he had Is. %. 33. and SO COM
petitors and most all OF these COM
petitors know potatoes. The strick-
ing fact is that two years ago Mr..
Madsen did not assume to know very
much about potatoes. He has car
ried on small experiments in seed
improvement, has called on the Coun-
ty Agent frequently. and had fol-
lowed closely the potato meetings
held in his community. In short he
has kept his mind and eyes open for
Information useful in his business.
Mr. Madsen's winnings at the
above shows. his larger yields Of
quality and better type tubers prove
that the attitude he has taken to.
ward his work Is the first requisite
for a progressive and successful
farmer. He adopted this attitude OF
mind and an eagerness to know and
follow the best recognized methods
while farming in Illinois. He
further states that the satisfaction
Of improving potatoes and OF win

as II used to be in the corn game.
II everyone assumed this attitude
towa his business and did not feel

sufficient for all time; we are sure
that the net returns to Pine county

DOUBLE VICTORY IS
 WON BY CAPT. INGALLS,

A double victory has been won by Captain Walter s. Ingalls,, adjutant general of Arizona, in the fight over the office which is still claimed by Col Charles w. Harris. This was made known in wire from the war depart ment, signed by J. M. Carter, chief of the bureau of militia. It reads:
 Capt. Ingalls, papers received yes terday and he is recognized as na- tional guard officer from today, and your designation of him as property and disbursing officer for Arizona is approved by the secretary of war"
 This wire may have a material bearing on the outcome of suits now before the superior court. It removes all doubt that Ingalls, is fully quail. fled, point raised by Harris lawyers in arguing the case. With the ap. pointrnent of Ingalls, as adjutant gen. eral on June 13, Harris refused tc give up the records of the office on the grounds that they were government records for which he was personally responsible, and the same argument was used when an attempt was made to secure possession of ammunition and supplies housed in the state arm ory and warehouse.
 As soon as Ingalls, files the proper bond he will be in position to take over the government property. The position of disbursing officer carries : salary of $500 a year, from whicl Harris will now be cut off.

WILL NOW GET CREDIT IN HIS
 SCHOOL TRAINING

Although no provision is made in Arizona's high school training law for exemption of discharged soldiers from military training, they may be given credit by the high school cadet com missioner for the work done in the army, according to an opinion rem dered by Assistant Attorney General F. J. K. Mcbride. Mir. Mcbride, who rendered the opinion in reply to an inquiry from c. O. Case, superintend- ent of public instruction, suggests that such high school students as have seen service in the army be appointed officers of high school cadet com panies.
 At the time Arizona's law providing for military training in the high schools was adopted, it was not con templated, Mcbride says, that high school students would be taken into military service, and hence no provi- sion was made to cover such cases. Under the provisions of the law, how ever, the normal and high school cadet commission has the power to assign the work to be done and to allow the credits for the same. The commission is composed of the superintendent of public instruction, the adjutant gen. eral, and one citizen member.

NO POLITICS FOR HIM
 INSISTS LEGION HEAD

Andrew P. Martin, of Tucson, state commander of the American Legion and member of the state resources board, is not a candidate for office, despite the fact that rumors have been flying thick and fast for some weeks that he would be candidate for con- gress from this state at the next election.
 This information came from MT. Martin himself in letter to Neri Osborn, Jr., both having been in the 34Oth Artillery overseas.
 "Whenever you hear my name me 1- toned in a political way" says Mar tin, "you may state for me that am not now a candidate for any of1ce, and that I will not be a year hence and this is final" .,
 MT. Martin states further that dur ;n0 the convention of the Legion at Tucson that selected him as state commander, many who supported him did so because they wanted a state commander who would not take ad, vantage of the position in a political way. Many of the boys who support ed him, he says, did it for that reason and that he would not under any CIT cumstances disappoint them.
 That the American Legion must De kent off the political rocks if it IS to accomplish it's real objects, is point made emphatically by Martins ietter

FAVORS 65 MEN IN
 NATIONAL GUARD COMPANIES

Governor Campbell called on Secre- tary Baker and other. officials of the war department during his recent visit to Washington, and took up two matters of interest to Arizonans. With other members of the committee of seven appointed at the Salt Lake con. ference, Governor Campbell presented a petition asking that in the reorgan- ization of the national guard the min imum number of men to a company be placed at 65 instead of 100, as planned by the militia bureau of the department. The request was based on the belief that in smaller communi- ties it will be impossible to secure the enlistment of 100 men, and that for this reason the former unit of 65 should be retained.
 In a personal conference with Baker and Col. J. M. Carter, Gov. Campbell discussed the adjutant generalship situation in this state. He was in. formed by the department that though there was no desire on the part of the department to become in volved in an altercation which the Arizona courts must settle, it recog- nized Campbell as the commander-in' chief of the military forces of Ari- zona, and indicating further that an order was being prepared appointing Walter S. Ingalls,, United States prop erty and disbursing officer, in compli- ance with former request.

DANIELS FIGHTS USE OF
 "GOB" AS APPLIED TO NAVY

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1O.-Sec- retary of the Navy Josephus Daniels is opposed to the use of the word "gob" with reference to the men of the navy, and he says if official edict can stop the use of the word, it will soon be relegated to the scrap heap.
 He said:
 "It is short, ugly word, and I do not like it. It is undignified and not worthy of the men of the splendid fleet. I am going to issue state ment urging the discontinuance of it's use. Why can't we decide on name suitable for men whom we hold in such high regard?
 q do not want the word 'bluejacket' used any more, either. The boys do not like either one; they resent them, so I am going to order their discon- tinuance.
 There's no justification for the use of the word 'gob.' It only began to be used two years ago. The boys hate it and ought not to have it applied to them"
