Here is a little human-interest
story that shows how the spirit OF
patriotic service moved even the
humblest citizen to play his part well
in the great war drama. At a meet
ing in a Missouri c%ounty-seat town
to push the sale of war saving certi-
f~icates, a state organizer explained
the details of the plan for selling
the Government baby bonds. When
the meeting was finished, the state
organizer was called aside by the
chairman of a school district in IA
remote section of the county.
The district chairman explained
to the state organizer that he had
been working under some diff;cul-
ties. He had received all the war
savings literature, but as neither he
nor his wife could read or write
they had been unable to- learn just
how they were to proceed. The state
organizer called on the county chair
man, who insisted that t would be
necessary, on account OF the illite-
racy of the district chairman, to find
another man for his place. The state
asked the district chairman whether
he wished to withdraw in favor of
another chairman.
Il rid over 20 miles OF muddy roads
10 attend this meeting and | want
to do my part TO help lick the
Kaiser" he said. "You jes' give me
a letter authorizin' ME TO sell the
stamps in my district, and I'll sell
en-"
The quota for the school district
was $4,000. The state organizer gave
the district chairman a letter, and
the chairman promised to meet the
state organizer at a bank in another
town at a certain hour two days
About the hour designated a back
woods farmer might have been seen
doing a Paul Revere ride through
the streets of a Missouri town. He
hitched his horse in front of the bank,
and entered. He opened a bag and
showed a bundle of subscription cards
through the t%eller's window.
Count up them subscriptions" he
ordered, "and if they amt enough,
jes' tell me how much I'm short, and
III sell the balance"
The teller totaled the subscriptions,
They amount to $4,000. The mar
who could neither read nor write
had put his school district over the
top. He had loyalty performed his
duty to his Country. The handicap
of illiteracy was no handicap at all
to this man in whose heart burned
the patriotic fire. He knew that
his country was imperiled, and that

The origin of the fire is unknown.

Forest Receipts for
Southwestern States

The total receipts of the Ma.
tional Forests of Arizona for the
fiscal year that ended on June
30th last, were $511, $50. 70, and
the receipts of the New Mexico
forests for the same period were
$358, 735. So. The Arizona for
ests ranked second of all the
states in receipts, being out
ranked only by California. New
Mexico stood sixth from the top.
Of these receipts the State OF
Arizona and its counties will re.
ceive $171, 92S. 80 for roads and
schools. and $45, 261. 18 in addi-
tion will be spent by the Forest
Service in building roads within
the forests. This latter fund is
known as the 10 per cent fund
and is altogether distinct from
the $40, 100000 Forest Service
road fund provided in last years
post office appropriation bill.
Of the receipts from the New
Mexico forests, the state and
counties of New Mexico receive
$104, 752. 81 for roads and schools,
and an additional sum of $33,

institutions and for law and order.
But even their ranks are invaded
by the apostles of discomfort.
The nation faces a crisis that we
cannot ignore.
The events of the week where
the police force of Boston went
on a strike, were unionized and
directed by union leaders, brings
up a serious fact for considera-
tion. The President called the
police strike a crime. But the
same movement to unionize the
police, firemen, public school
teachers, public officials, and f.
nally the army and navy itself,
shows the bold design of Bolshev-
ism.
To extend labor organizations
to the public service to persons
not laborers, to those. who under
law and oath, are sworn servants
of all the people, means that
rulership for selfish class inter-
ests is to be set up inside of gov
ernment itself, a dictatorship to
those outside the organization for
the purpose of exploiting and
robbing in the guise of govern
ment those who are not in the
ranks of the unions.
1t is our duty, if we are Ameri-
cans, standing on the ideals and
foundations of free institutions
for all the people, hating special
privileges and class rule with the
Unborn hatred of our revolution

gram of the domination by the

Student Body Program

Friday morning, September
26, 1919, the Student Body gave
an interesting program. The
students showed their loyalty by
standing and singing their school
song, Purple and Gold.''
Invocation was given by Doyle
Lee.
The boys chorus then followed.
1t is a great surprise to the
school to see how we'll Professor
Taylor had trained the boys in
such a short a time. Apprecia-
tion of this singing was shown
by hearty applause from the
audience.
Professor Mortensen gave a
talk on Student Body Annual. "
A vote was then called whether
or not they wanted an annual
this year. The whole school was
in favor of one. Following this
was a selection from the Acad-

A retold story was given by
Tillie Mortensen.
The closing number was a song
from the girls chorus.

KILLING DEVELOPMENT

Blue sky laws have practically
killed the goose that produced the
bullion increases In some of the
Rocky Mountain states. Califor-
MIA is looking around for some
method to revive its dropping
gold mining industry. Old-time
producers continue to produce
but there is practically no effort
being made to open up new pros
poets. When the old producers
are exhausted there will be no
new ones to take their places.
Arizona and Utah are also feel
ing the effects of this crime. The
so-called investment bankers who
force the passage of blue sky
laws continue to force their cheap
interest bearing eastern bonds
upon western investors. They
are not found trying to build up
the West through the develop
ment of new mines or the sinking
of new oil wells. 1t is the height
of insanity for an undeveloped
section. to lock out investment
funds. Western money at least
should be used in developing
western enterprises and not sent
down East to the banks in ex-
change for pretty pieces of paper
paying a rate of interest that can
be secured from savings banks.
The Record hopes that no more
states in the West will put their
heads in the investment bankers
