STUFFED FOR THE GOVERNOR

The private office of Governor Campbell now has guardian, and a fierce looking specimen he is. Facing the incoming visitor from the north west corner of the office is magnifi- cent American eagle, wings outspread, feather standing, and with generally rough and ready belligerent attitude.
 The big bird has wing spread of over eight feet. He was captured in the Catalina mountains near Benson, after being disabled to the extent that he was unable to fly, after having a pitched battle with another and pre- sumably still bigger and more power ful eagle.
 He was kept at Benson for a time by M. P. Crosby, but it cost too much to feed him so he was turned over to the state game warden, Joe V. Pro- chaska. Joe decided he was more or namental than useful, so had him stuffed and presented him to Governor Campbell. ..

STATE WILL DRILL DEEP
 WELL; MAY MAKE OIL STRIKE

PHOENIX, April 25.-The state of Arizona is going to drill for oil, Land Commissioner Mouer has said, and what Mouer says can be relied upon as truthful and accurate in the last detail. The well in question will be driven to depth of 2,500 to 5000 feet at Wenden, on the Parker cutoff
 Theoretically, this is going to be an artesian well; at any rate, the object of drilling is water; but that is not going to prohibit the state from reap ing any benefits that might accrue from the discovery of oil at this locality. ...
 Not that there are any special oil indications at Wenden, but as the lano commissioner points out, "Why not 2 They're striking it nearly every other place; why not at Wenden? You never can tell what you may bumr into If you go down 5000 feet.
 The sum of $50,000 is now avail able for the purpose of putting dowr this well, which is designed to be g relief and benefit to the stock inter ests centered in the Wenden district The project which has been contem plated for some time, was held up by the war, but with war conditions re moved the land department feels justi fled in going ahead with the improve ment and it will be started soon.

Time to get after that early brood of flies, says the United States Public Health Service. Better to prevent the breeding of hundreds of flies now than to swat ana trap millions of them in midsummer.
 The United States Public Health Service estimates that over seven mil lon people n the United States are infected with malaria.
 Public Health is purchaseable," says the U. s. Public Health Serv- | ice, and adds that first-class health protectIon sesyIce can be provided for one dollar er head pel year. In fact, some city health departments render excellent service at a cost of seventy | five cents per head. Let's all get to- pether and give better support to the | health work in this community.
 Estimates prepared by the United States Public Health Service indicate in the South the ravages of typhoid fever, tuberculosis, hookworm, and peilagra, all together are not as seri- ous as those caused by malaria.

Uncle Sam will provide sanatorium and hospital care for ail the boys dis charged from army or naval service, 1 so far as their sickness or disability was contracted in the service of their country.

$500, ,OOO.00 IRRIGATION
 PLAN AWAITS DECISION

A decisioon affecting 62,000 acres of land on the Gila River, in Arizona, will be made this week by John F. Truesdell, special assistant to United States Attorney General Gregory, who is in Los Angeles conferring with a committee from Florence and Casa Grande, Arizona, regarding construc- tion of diversion dam for irrigation purposes in Pinal county.
 An appropriation of $150,O00 was made by Congress for this work more than two years ago. Delay is due to the disposition of the water rights question, as 35,000 acres belong to an Indian reservation.
 The work will cost about $300,000. The additional appropriation depends on Mir. Truesdell's report to the Sec retary of the Interior. Government engineers of the Indian service have already reported favorably on the matter.

NATIONAL FORESTS
 AND WATER SUPPLY

The U. s. Department of Agricul- ture directs attention to the import ance of the National forests to the wa ter supply of the nation.
 That the various activities on the National Forests are handled in such way as to insure the fullest possi- ble protection and utilization of the water supply as well as of the timber, forage, and other resources, is the statement made in recent publication of the Forest Service, Department of Agriculture-'What the National For ests Mean to the Water User.' Water, by the irrigated process, is shown to be an essential factor in the develop ment of the West. By this means, it is pointed out, the semi-arid areas of the West could be transformed into fertile agricultural lands, as profit ably, perhaps, as the 13,000,000 acres already under irrigation, and repre- senting in crops produced an annual value of $247 100000. Some idea of the enormous extent of water power | within the National Forests may be gained from the statement that it rep | resents 31 per cent of the water-power resources of the entire country. More over, large part of the remaining power, although developed outside of the forests, is derived from streams rising in them"
 The publication, profusely illustrat- ed with contrast pictures, deals with various phases of water use in this i'm mense territory, including grazing, farming, timber cutting and planting, hydroelectric and other power, domes- tic water supply, navigation, forest cover and fire protection-all of which is summed up in the foreword as "Service-service that is none the less real because it is not always obvious and because it's exact value can not always be expressed in dollars and cents."
 The Western mountains contain more than 72 per cent of the potential water power of the United States.
 Approximately 7,500,000 sheep use the National Forest range each year. Some 732 western towns and cities, with an aggregate population of 2, ,265, ,00O, depend on the National For ests for their domestic water supply.
 About 10,0o0,000 forest-tree seed lings and transplants are grown by the Forest Service each year for use in the reforestation of denuded lands in the National Forest.

One of the strongest movements in
the economic realm today is for the
restoration Of the personals element
which went by default in the rapid
evolution of the modern Industrial sys-
tenn. In getting close ito the people,
the country banker ranked next to the
country editor, says Leslie's, Weekly.
The country banker knew all his Gus
toners and understood. their affairs.
With the development of the great
modern banks, this atmosphere of
friendliness and warmth has been lost.
President John ]. Mitchell of the nli-
nois Trust and Savings bank, one of
Chicago's most humanized banking in
situations, believes that a banker
should be kind and human and SYM
pathetic to his clients. He reasons
that a friendly attitude on the part of
bank officials promotes a better feel
ing between the public and the corpor
ate world in general. Private bust
ness can create a friendly. human
atmosphere, but this is one of the
things that would be lost in the event
of government ownership.

THE NEW EDUCATION.

A direction in which much activity
can be absorbed at, once is education.
Since we entered the war the army it.
self has done a tremendous amount of
educating. A new realization Of the
valve Of vocational training has come
over us, and it is one Of the lessons
that should not be forgotten, writes
Norman Hapgood in New Republic.
~Sovereigns need to be carefully train
ed. If the people are to be sovereign,
they must be educated. The education
Of life Continues through life. The
whole of life should be laid out on a
theory approaching that Of a part-time
school. If reduction in the hours Of
labor is part of reconstruction, so
equally part Of it are the steps en-
'abling us in the shorter hours to pro-
duce a larger volume Of desirable
things. For an adequate system of
education a large number Of new
teachers would be required. In ny.
gienc, in new housing plans, in i'm
proved factory conditions, there are
opportunities for inspired direction, for
teaching, learning and executing ;sbut
the only way in which that group of
problems can be worked out is to have
a community awake to them, eager and
Informed. :. c :

troll. 1t would seem to be easy, but,
with the exception of Yale, the colleges

military and cannot in consequence
turn suddenly from contracts with
their students which are approved by

nal-Courier. Yale, by having provided
that her young men must have passed
the entrance examination before be-
ing indicted into the service, is alone
able to be released from a government

ment. Generally speaking, however,

EYE STRAIN INCREASING.

Improper lighting systems used in
the home, school room and Office are
responsible to a large degree for the
increase in defective vision and dis
eases Of the eye, according to DR.. G. e.
Ferree, professor Of psychology at
Bryn Nsawr college. Doctor Ferree
was one Of the speakers at a meeting
of the Illuminating Engineering So
ciety. He said: Defects of vision
are increasing at an alarming rate in
this country. I have made q large
number Of experiments for detecting
the comparative tendencies of different
lighting conditions to cause a loss in
the eyes power to sustain clear seeing
for a period Of work. From these ex-
periments it was clear that the light
ing systems in use in most homes, Of
fees and in schools where night work
is done are defective and faulty and
really responsible to a large degree for
eye trouble" Doctor Ferree's expert
ments dealt with the effect on the eye
Of three lighting installafions-direct,
semi-indirect and indirect-so select
ed as to give wide differences in illu-
minating effects. He declared that in
direct and semi-indirect Illuminating
systems resulted in little or:no strain
on the eye.
