SEAPLANES AND wINDMILLS
 FOR USE OF FOREST SERVICE

Fires in our great national forests are of such serious consequence that fighting them and guarding against
 them is the chief duty to which the forest rangers devote their lonely
 lives. From their isolated lookout sta tions on the mountain peaks to the cabins below, and to the chief rangers office, stretch the telephone wires
 that have helped to check many dis astrous fire. But sometimes, when they are most needed, the wires are lying broken and useless under big slide of rocks or snow, or perhaps a fallen tree. So now the rangers are to have wireless telephones, whose functioning can not be disturbed by any violence of nature. Over the high mountain peaks the air is never still; and so upon each lookout station there is to be windmill, whose air motor will turn the shaft of an electric gen. orator mounted just under the roof. In the room below, two vacuum tubes and the necessary complement of con densers and coils will convert the dy- namo current into high-frequency waves, whose telephonic modulations will radiate into space from the sur face of short copper-wire antennae, to be instantly picked up, with their re- port of "alPs well' or their call to vigorous action, at every cabin in the district.
 "Seaplanes for Forest-Fire Patrols reads like a printers blunder, but it really represents movement now on foot in Canada and northern Michi- gan. The value of aerial observation in conserving our valuable timber re- serves is evident; and the necessity for the use of seaplanes becomes so when map is consulted. It is re- vealed that hundred of lakes dot the territories the airmen would patrol, thus furnishing ideal landing places for small flying boats. Many former forest rangers from both sides of the international boundary have become military fliers, and, on discharge, should furnish an excellent nucleus for a service of this sort.-Popular Me chanics.

CHAS. PRAUS' FAMILY
 BADLY HIT BY WAR

Chas. Praus, formerly an employee at the Fl Tovar hotel, at Grand Can. yon, and a member of the local lodge of Elks, writes Secretary E. s. Miller concerning the sacrifices made by his family in the great war, as follows:
 Scotia, Cal, May 9, 1919. Dr. E. s. Miller,
 Flagstaff, Ariz. Dear Sir and Brother:
 Was back East in Minneapolis to see my son who came back from France--or, rather, what's left of him, He had his left arm and left leg blown off; and one of my sons got killed in the Argonne. So you can pretty nearly imagine what state of mind l am in sometimes. l am now with the Fl Rio Mercantile Co.,, which belongs to the Pacific Lumber Go. l am in charge of the meat market and have a good job and good pay.
 If you see Bill Lockridge give him my best regards, and give my best re- gards to all the brother Elks.
 Hoping this will find you in the best health and spirits and awaiting an early reply as possible, am
 Fraternally yours,

LEAVE IT TO THE TIGER

Dispatches from Paris tell us that Premier Clemenceau is in receipt of a resolution signed by 5,000,000 Amer ican women demanding that all Ger man officers, soldiers, and civilians who perpetrated crimes against girls and women in any allied country shall be brought to punishment. In the resolution the allied nations are asked to take measures to prevent such deed in the future.
 The fact that such resolution should have been sent by American women to Clemenceau instead of to our own representative in Paris is not without significance. Evidently they take the view that the self-consti- tuted apostle of humanity" who now heads our own delegation is not the man to appeal to if practical results are sought.

 "Thus far the national organization for soldiers, sailors and marines who took part in the great war is merely on temporary basis" said Colonel Conway. "We look with favor on the American Legion, as under this name the men in France are being organ ized. The Great War Veterans asso- citation of Phoenix was organized with the thought of becoming unit of the national organization now in the proc ess of formation. This should prove to be vital factor in reconstruction and powerful influence in obtaining universal military training. This country was lucky once, but we may not be so lucky the next time.

MAJ. MITCHELL EVERY
 INCH AN AMERICAN

Arizona, like other states, will be looking for honors to heap upon the returning soldiers, particularly those who have distinguished themselves by deeds of valor on the front line.
 Probably no living Arizonan has won more fame in actual fighting than Major F.. J. Mitchell, of the 91 st Division, who makes his home at Pres colt.
 Maj. Mitchell, who was with the Second Battalion of the 363rd Regi- ment, reached San Francisco the other day wearing the Belgian Crox de Guerre and the American Distinguish ed Service medal Before entering the service Maj. Mitchell was county at torney of Yavapai county. He had previously been an officer of the First Arizona Regiment. Immediately upon the entry of America into the war he entered training camp at San Fran cisco and was commissioned captain, He resigned his position as county at 91st Division. He won his majority for bravery on the field of battle.
 Maj. Mitchell won his Distinguished Service medal at Very on September 26, when he led platoon in advance of the flanking units and captured a battery of German 1858, which was operating at the time, and took 6 of ficers and 400 men as prisoners. That night he successfully reorganized the line at point of danger and by his splendid example of courage and cool ness succeeded in re-establishing the most difficult piece of the front line. At Tonsol he maintained position in advance under heavy fire for four days. He won the Belgian war cross for personal bravery during the Lys- Scheldt offensive.
 Maj. Mitchell will return to the practice of law at Prescott. He has a wife and daughter living there. In politics, Maj. Mitchell is a Republi- can. He is 3S years of age, has a fine presence, splendid voice and is pleasing public speaker.-Tucson Citizen,

 The new man blushed self-con- sciously.

A GERMAN PEACE?

It must strike the average American as passing strange that Germany holds out so insistently for peace based on the IA points, despite their present mutilation, while the allies find fault with them in many particu- lars. Is it possible that Germany sees in them antiquities which will serve her ends. Is it after all to be Ger man peace which will will be discov- cred in the equivoques of MT. Wilson?

SPEED LEAVES THE ACTU-
 ARIAL BUREAU
Has Been Manager Since Organi-
 zation of Bureau in 1913

The resignation of J. $. Speed as manager of the Arkansas Actu- arlal Bureau was announced yes terday. Mir. Speed has been man. ager of the bureau since it's incep- tion in 1913, and announcement of his resignation caused surprise.
 Mr. Speed declined to make any statement as to his future plans. He has been asked to remain in charge of the bureau until his suc- cessor is appointed. The appoint ment is made by committee of managers of the various insurance companies.
 The Arkansas Actuarial Bureau was created by Act 159 of the leg islature of 1913, and Mr. Speed was appointed as its first mana ger. The present efficient organi- zation of the bureau and the mass of information collected about fire insurance risks in Arkansas is due mostly to Mir. Speeds eff forts during the past six years, according to local insurance men.

Required Much Work

Under NIr. Speeds management the bureau attained a reptation among insurance companies as be- ing one of the best rating and in- surance organizations in the coun- try. The work of the bureau has been gradually increased and en- larged The bureau was orga- nized from nothing. It was neces- sary to gather every detail for mapping and rating each individ- ual risk, other than dwellings, in all the cities of the state. Special surveys were made for each indi- vidual manufacturing risk and and consistent periodical inspec- tions were necessity in order to keep the fire protection equip ment up to standard.
 No previous organization of this kind ever existed in the state. Mr. Speed also found 1t necessary to educate the local insurance agents and the general public to the benefits of the system.
 The enormous detail of work covered in the scope of the organ ization may be realized when it is recalled that fire risks are con- stantly changing over the state. Every time an individual or man. ufacturing plant in any city or town in the state moves it's place of business i'll the state 1t Is neces- sary for the bureau to inspect the risk and reissue a rate in accord ance with changed conditions. Every time the occupants of such building adds to or removes a fire hazard the same proceedings are necessary, and this information IS published and copies furnished to all companies doing business ln Arkansas and to all local agents in the town in which the property is located.

To All Cotton Growers and Hand
 lers of Cotton

Arkansas cotton growers arc threatened with a greater fnan. cial disaster than they have had because they are so eager to pick their cotton that they are gather ing and ginning i wet.
 Cotton handled wet is so badly gin cut, discolored and lowered in grade that it can not be proftably used for spinning and will have to be used for the same purposes as linters and mattress stock.
 Some of the cotton offered dur ing the week ending October 25th has been so wet that 1t will rot so badly as to be worthless and there is danger that many bales will heat in rotting se that they will burn up.
 Thousands of bales were total loss from rotting and spontaneous combustion in 1906 from October rains much lighter than those we have had this year.
 Seed from cotton picked and ginned wet lose in value from $25 to $75 ton.
 If the cotton growers will be patient and not allow picker in in the field until the plants, bolls and ground are thoroughly dry and the cotton fiuffs out in the field and gin it dry and fluffy, they will get a good price for it. If they pick or gin while the cot ton is damp they will lose from $50 a bale to all its value.
 European spinners have stated that they cannot use and will not buy cotton that has been picked or ginned damp. If cotton grow CTS persist in picking cotton when it is damp they will injTe our export market for this year and American ginners do not want it. Have patience. Wait until the cotton becomes dry.
