 II is probable that this stream will be closed to fishing for year to give the planted trout time to grow to game size. and some means will have rc be devised 10 keep them out of the irrigation system.
 Starting after the Frontier Days celebration at Prescott, the stote game warden will make a trip of inspection. covering Inc trout streams and lakes IF the northern par: of the state. look ing over the fishing conditions and getting the arrangements made to have the small fish planted as soon as they arrive

IMPORTANT TO ENTRANTS
OF THE NORMAL SCHOOLS s

TEMPE, July 2.-At a recent joint me- citing of the boards of education of the Temp. Normal school Of Arizona and the Northern Arizona Normal school with the state board of educa- ton. the following action was taken. which will be of greatest importance to parents contemplating sending their children to the Normal school
 After August Is. 1919, no students will be admitted to either state nor nal school until they have completed one year of high school work. and af- ter August IS. 1920. it will be neces- sary that they have two years of high school preparation. before entrance in:o either normal school.
 This action was taken after careful consideration by the boards of educa- ton and the state board. It has been recommended several times by the state legislature bu. was postponed from year to year on account O: the scarcity of high schools :n the state. II is now believed that the high schools are so numerous and that the special provision TOT establishing two year high school courses in rural commun- ities will adequately provide for at least two years of high school work. IL was necessary, however. to drop one year al a time in order that no injustice nigh; be done 10 students who are now attending either one of ,he state normal schools.

WEED MAKES CATTLE CRAZY:
 GOVERNMENT STARTS INQUIRY

WTNSLOW, July 2-Investigation as 10 the exact nature of a strange weed. said to grow only aiong the rim cf the Mogo,Ion plateau between Pine and Long valley. will be made by fed eral authorities in order 10 determine .he disease from which large ship men, ot cattle was recently found 70 be sufferng.
 According 10 stockmen from the Pine country. the weed has made its appearance ia that district only in the .ast few years. Cattle eating it whil, | II is in bloom seem to go crazy. They throw their front feet high in the air, shake their heads violently from side to side. and then start of on the dead run. Many of them fall flat on the
 ground. and remain pros;rate for con- $ derable time. The weed seems to affect the eyes Of cattle eating it, and their noses run.
 SIockmen who have had experience Ni,h the weed say that the percentage Of fatalities is small, and that if the animal affected is turned loose it will usually recover.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES

Michigan, Ohio, Colorado and Oklahoma are the latest states to
ratify the prohibition amendment to the federal constitution. Alich-
ipan w a the sixteenth state to act favorably and the other three 10
lowed in rapid succession. Seventeen more states are needed before
the amendment is finally adopted, but as most of the so-caled dry
states ar vet to vote the advocates of the amendment" feel certain Oh
its success.
A short time ago the EVENING NEWS commented on the a
ass made by the New York Sun which indicated that the country
would be "drv" bv January /, 1920. In that canvass New Jersey was
classel as the only hopeless state in the union. 1t is not an envlaole
position to hold in times like these when the world is making o much
progress in public welfare and efficiency.
When the government found it necessary to close all saloons III
The vicinity of camps, environments and plants engaged III government
work during war time in order that the men might give their best sr
vice to their country, it is plain that the government considers te
saloon the greatest detriment to efficiency. Why should we then sub
NIT to a demoralaion in peace time that will not be tolerated IN time
OF war? The question is unanswerabIe.
Michigan has shown the way. Let us hope, as desperate Is tat
hone NAV be, that New Jersey will get in line, or at least get out IL te
'hopeless" class before she has been swept off her feet and as mao
prohibition forced upon her by her more aggressive and forwardlooK-
ing sister states.

THE GREATEST NATION

Politicians M still talking about competitive ornaments. Many
of them do not see that the formation of League of Nations is brought
nearer every day.
There are good reasons why other nations will not want to go into
n free for-aI navy building II any other kind of armament competi-
ton with Uncle Sam. There are facts abont man power, wealth, ma
ional incomes-an comprising potential military and naval power
that the long headed abroad as well as here must take into consid-
Grafton.
a conservative estimate of our total wealth is $50 billion dollars
A conservative estimate of our total annual income is so billion. The
fact 1t, though, that this last figure should be nearer 60 billion.
On the dollar score the United States is far and away the greatest
nation in the world. The British Empire comes next, but with much
less than half our ineome-between 20 and % billion dollars.
And dollars in this connection mean something more than a big
bank account, to sit back and brsg about. They mean power power
to build ships, to transport and equip fighting men, TO be ready for
anything
In population effective population-we are also ahead. We
have well over 100 million. In military terms, this means that we have
20 million men of what is called militia age with millions coming on
every year.
Here again the British Empire comes second. Her total Of effect
i've population is only about 20 million. France has less than 40 mil
lion souls and she is about on a par with other European nations. In
man power Japan is next effective to England, with so millions or
more.
With submarines aud arplanes and three-day mystery ships
crossing the Atlantic, with Mexico ON one side, Canada on the other
and Japan just across the Pacific, Uncle Sam has learned that, failing
adequate guarantees of peace, he cannot live alone without a gun in
the house. Il

A GOOD START

With the excise board reorganized and new men i'll control, inter-
est is once more aroused in what sort of a record II VIII make TINS
year. The board has certainly made a good start. There is every out
ward appearance of harmony and if James j. Flynn lives up to the
principles upheld by him during The last administration when he stood
practically alone in opposition to brewery interests and outside mhu-
ences, the city may yet experience the novelty of having an excise
board that actually puts public welfare first.
There is reason to believe that Mr.. Flynn will be just as honest
and conscientious now that he is a power in the board as he was wheIf
he was a minority. He well deserves the presidency. His paSt expert
ence will serve him well in stopping the outside interference. Mr..
Flynn is in a position to be absolutely Independent and so are the men
who were elected with him. He made,his fight practically alone, sur
zr9ss#seIf WITH mea- he knew would work. with him. He won
and now he has IN opportunity to show, as he put it in his address to
the board Tuesday night, that TO be elected to the excise board is not
The sbegiming Of the end"
The new board has started out right, at least. II is going to con-
duct its affairs in the open. That will without a doubt be the greatest
safeguard against corruption and wrong doing. In the second place,
the movement to draw up a new ordinance, one that is not full OF
'loopholes, as the president of the board aptly put it, will go a great
way toward making it possible to rn things IS the new regime evil
IDENTIFY intends to have them run.
1t would, indeed, be one of the irones of fate if Perth Amboy
should actually have secured an excise board that would prove to be a
credit 10 the city just at the time when the city, along with the whole
country, is going "dry." However, the excise board will be in power
long enough to show what it can do and its activities will be watched
with a great deal of interest.
