HE GOT THEM ALL

A number of interesting incidents in connection with the battle of Chateau Thierry are recited by re- gently returned soldier. There were two American Indians, brothers, in his regiment and one was killed. Shortly afterward, the commanding officer detailed the remaining broth CT to escort a party of ten prisoners to point some eight miles back of the lines. The Indian reported back to the officer in ten minutes and was asked for an explanation.
 "One of them spit in my face and didn't know which one," was the reply.

A Running Account

A New Yorker with country place on Long Island has a quaint old neighbor who owned good many pigs.
 One day the quaint old neighbor had been away to the pasture, count ing his potential ham and bacon. He is not particularly bright old fel- low, but is able, with some difficulty to count his possessions.
 The New Yorker asked him: "Well, MT. Jones, how many pigs have you?"
 q dunno exactly" said MT. Jones. q counted lem all except one little runt, and he kept running around so I couldn't count him."-Cartoons Magazine.

GOOD ROADS LEGISLATION

The Arizona legislature has been wrestling with the probem of good roads legislation the past two weeks and it would appear that something may come of it. The bill appropriating million ana a-haIf yearly for about 20 years has passed the house and will probably pass the senate, but VIII meet with the disapproval of the governor It IS said. The reason for the governors disapprovai IS that the bill is a partisan measure and would puiio nm a machine instead of building good roads. While we feel that partisan politics should not plav a part in the building of our roads; we nope tha' something tangible will out of the legislature so that road building can be carried on without m- terruption. Arizona needs good roads and plenty of them. And in the matter of the building Of good roads there should not be particle of jealousy. Every section has it's needs and the building or the roads will open up opportunities in every part of the State. Mohave county realizes, possiply' better than any other county in the state what the buildnp of roads will do in the development Of It's resources as this county has done more in the way of building of roads than any other county in the state and our people just anxious now to con-
 nue road building they were to initiate the good work five years ago. If the state would build the trunk lines the counties would be able to build and maintain the connecting links between the mining camps towns and villages and the main highways and look after their upkeep But the trunk lines must be built to enable the counties to build the necessary roads in aid of internal development.

RETURN OF THE PRESIDENT

When President Wilson went to Europe there was an awful racket in Washington. Washington loves precedents, and apparently Mr. Wilson never allows them to interfere with his purposes. And so he went to Europe-a thing none of his prede- cessOrs had ever dOne very unfriendly lot of ephets were hurled at him he departed. But the President returns and is noticeable that the "Wilson smile' hasn't off. He is acclaimed everywhere as leader who has done great things. He has succeeded-and nothing succeeds like sue cess, especially among politicians.
 The League of Nations stands in no danger of getting Stripped up in the Monroe Doctrine. In fact is being clearly pointed out that the two can work together in entire harmony.

the monotony of landscape which
