GOVERNMENT NEEDS
 MANY ACCOUNTANTS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jannary 25- The war is practically ended but war work is not. The tremendous labor of the details of adjusting the accounts and paying the bills will occupy the time of a large force for many months to come. The Ordnance Department of the army alone is in need of 200 senior cost accountants at entrance salaries ranging from $2,200 to $4,2OO year; 300 junior cost ac- countants at entrance salaries rang ing from $1,200 to $2,000 a year; and 300 clerk qualified in accounting at entrance salaries ranging from $1,000 to $500 year, for service at ordnance establishments throughout the United States and in the head quarters at Washington, D. c.
 The collection of the income tax also calls for the employment of an additional number of accountants. The income tax unit of the Bureau of Internal Revenue is in need of a num- Der of travelling auditors and resident auditors at entrance salaries ranging from $1,S00 to $4,500 a year.
 All of these positions are open to both men and women.

News Notes From Around The County
Yucca
By MRS. M. P. CHAPMAN

Many folks in Yucca and vicinity learned what it was to do without mail last Sunday. If one has their mail Saturday and can get it on Monday, perhaps lU IS not so bad. But when one lives in the hills and has not had any mail for several days, and knows they must do without for several more, it is sure some dis appointment. Perhaps if everybody got together and signed a petition we could get our postoffice remodeled so that the delivery of Sunday mail was not dependent upon the presence of our obliging postmaster. It's surely worth trying for, anyway.
 MT. J. P. Chapman of Santa Cruz, County, spent the week at Buena Vista ranch with his uncle, M. P. Chap man. MT. Chapman was en-route to Nevada, where he is seriously consid- ering investing in a range proposition. Should he locate there he will ship his cattle from Santa Cruz County to Nevada in the near future.
 The serious termination of the ill., ness of Mrs. Conkey has cast mel ancholy spirit over us all. It is true, indeed, that sorrows never come sing ly. To the husband and the children the blow is undoubtedly we'll nigh unbearable. But we all trust the lady may soon be retrned to her family and friends-whole in mind, and body.
 Mrs. Jno. Mullen and Mrs. Bellien were out-of- town visitors in our little city on Tuesday last.
 J. M. Shaw of Castanada Wells passed through Yucca last Sunday, en- route to Needles, Cal. He was ac- companied by Mrs. Shaw and the children. They returned Monday and immediately left for home. MT. Shaw has recently sold his range and cattle. We do not understand the price ob- tained, but we believe it was most satisfactory.

LABOR OPTICAL SAYS
 UNEMPLOYED ON INCREASE

WASHINGTON - Reports from twenty-one cities, showing more than 135,O00 unemployed, were sub mitted to the house immigration con- mittee last Tuesday by Frank Morri- son, secretary of the American Fed eration of Labor, in support of his contention that "there will be bread lines in every industrial center before May l." MT. Morrison appeared in support of legislation to restrict i'm migration.
 The reports submitted today were in addition to those from thirty cities given to the committee last Thursday by MT. Morrson, and showed Detroit with 5O,000 unemployed; Philadelphia with 10000; Indianapolis 5000; and Bridgeport, Connecticut, 15,OOO; Charleston, West Virginia, $500; Worcester, Massachusetts,, 12,OOO; San Francisco 15,OOO; Tacoma, Wash ington 2,50O; Denver 1,75O; Great Falls Montana, 1000; Akron, Ohio, 2,5000; Schenectady New York $500; and Pittsburg 10000.
 A report from Seattle, Washing ton, said it was impossible to give the approximate number of unemployed there, but that there were thousands, and that the number was increasing daily. The situation was becoming so memacing, it was stated, that govern ment intervention might soon be necessary.
 MT. Morrison told the committee that further proof is being obtained daily of the increasing extent of un- employment, and that action must 1 be taken immediately, if serious labor troubles are to be avoided. He said | that two things should be done by congress; first, that legislation pro- viding for the employment of re- turning soldiers be passed; and sec ond, that immigration be stopped until normal times are again reached.
 MT. Morrison said that only two cities-Toledo and Youngstown, Ohio of the thirty mentioned by him last week, as having large numbers of un- employed, have denied that suck con- ditions exist.

INFLUENZA MASK
 USED BY H0LD-UP

Monday morning at about 4:45 o'clock bold holdup was cleverly ex- ecuted in the lobby of the Head Hotel at Prescott, the object apparently being the robbery of the safe, which was supposed to contain quite sum of money. The victim of the robber was Emil Kloss, night man, who sub mitted readily as a 45-calibre auto a1atic gun was showed under his nose by the masked burglar, who demanded all cash in the office. Kloss went over to the desk and opened the draw CT, bringing out only $50. The safe could not be opened as the combina- tion to the lock was swung and he did not know the key by which it could be opened.
 So disgusted was the hold-up that he expressed himself in broken Eng fish, threatening this employee if a bigger sum was not forthcoming. Kloss protested that he did not know where any more money was stored, when he was told to get a move on and go ahead of the robber. The pair then started down the street when klosS was told to hit the trail toward Gurley at a swift pace and not look back, which orders he obey ed as directed.
 The robber had entered the build ing from the rear entrance on the alley, and when hs came down stairs into the lobby, Koss stated he did not pay much attention to him as he was descending with the mask over his face, thinking it was a flu protection. But behind him was the big gun, that was flashed when the demand was made of .Kloss to toss up his hands. This familiarity with the property showed that the job had been carefully planned.
 Mrs. Miller, proprietress of the hotel, in speaking of this affair, stat. ed that all receipts up to about mid night had been removed in anticipa- tion of just such an occurrence.

VICTORY LOAN IS
 LAST SAYS GLASS

Only one more big loan drive is planned by the treasury department, says Secretary Glass. This will be the Victory Liberty loan, to be floated probably the last three weeks in April. The amount will not be more than six billions and may be five billions.
 q expect the Victory Liberty loan to be the last intensive campaign for the sale of government bonds," said MT. Glass. Reports that there would be two more bond issues this year, aggregating twelve billions, are en- tirely without foundation, not only as to amount, but also as regards the number of campaigns"

P|CkET|NC CASE ON
 WAY TO SUPREME COURT

A petition for writ of error to the Supreme Court of the United States was filed in the Supreme Court Jan uary IT, in the case of William A. Traux and William A. Traux, as CO., partners, appellants, against Michael Corrigan, Bisbee local 280 of the Cooks and Walters union of Bisbee, and others, appellants. There were filed as assignment of errors, an order for the writ and the bond on the writ. Thus the case has passed out of the jurisdiction of the courts of this state and is now on the way to the court of last resort.
 This is the Bisbee picketing case. It was brought for the purpose of fin ally determining the validity of the law of this state which permits pick citing. Though other states have such laws the question has never been brought before the highest court. Mas sachusetts had a similar law. but the Supreme Court of that state held it to be invalid, in contravention of the fourteenth amendment to the consti- luton.
 The Supreme Court of the state in an opinion handed down month ago held the law to be valid. The appel lants conduct a restaurant at Bisbee They had had good deal of trouble with the local union, the first result ing in a test of the so-called "eighty per cent" law, which also went to the Supreme Court of the United States and was there held to be unconstitu- tional.

ETanciful Objections.

(NCW Ork / lmeS.)
Should We surrender any sovereign
rights in joining the league of ma
tons? 1t is. clear that whenever we
| negotiate and ratify a treaty or
agreement with a foreign power, we
| put certain restraints upon our free
dom of conduct: we agree not to do
specified things which, as a sovereign
nation, We should have "A lawful right
| to do. There was a conspicuous case
of that kind 100 years ago. AS a
sovereign nation, we have the right to
maintain powerful naval force upon
the Great Lakes. Yet we freely sur
rendered that right in the Rush
BagOt agreement Of April. 1917, in
! which Great Britain and the United
States mutually agreed to limit their
respective naval forces upon the lakes
to one vessel of not more than 100
tons burden, armed with one 18-pound
cannon, on Lake Ontario; two such
vessels on the Upper Lakes, and one
on Lake ChampIain. We surrendered
one of our sovereign rights to Great
Britain. she surrendered one Of hers
to us. There was no treaty. an eX-
change of notes was sufficient, but
'Out Of abundant CautiOn,' President
Monroe communicated the agreement
to the senate, which promptly approx
cd it. 1t was put in effect by cXecu-
tive orders, it is still the law of the
land.
1t makes all the difference in the
world whether sovereign rights are
surrendered through compulsion or
by agreement. In becoming a mem
Der Of the league Of nations, the
United States would become a party
to a variety of denying covenants;
privileges which no righteous nation
uoW cares to exercise, getting in re-
turn exemptions and safeguards of
immcasura bly, greater value than any
thing it would give up. The alterna-
tive is forfeiture Of the guarantee Of
peace furnished by the league and
the retention Of the right to main
tain q great military force. to go to
war whenever We please. without ask
ing anybody's advice or content, and
to pay the bills incident to that mad
policy.
Should we abandon the Monroe
doctrine by joining the league? That
question becomes absurd in view Of
the fact that all the European ma
tions joining the league would cove
nant and agree not to do or attempt
to do the things which the Monroe
doctrine habits. f any one of them
should attempt to Cypress or control
the destiny Of any of the republics of
the western hemisphere, it would find
itself in a state of war with all the
other members of the league. Should
several European nations cOnspre to-
Gether to do this forbidden thing.
their act would destroy the league
and we should be entirely free to take
, any measures We found necessary.
