Yuma Sun

Announcement was made last week
of the organization Of million dollar
mining company in the Kofa district
Yuma mining men and New York
capitalists are backing the new COM
pany and it is hoped that soon the
company may begin actual work on
their mine.
The property lies in the Kofa dis
trict only few miles from the New
King Of Arizona mine. The new
company will be known as the Kofa
Queen Mine and Milling Company and
is said to have the best prospect Of
any mine in the Southwest. The vein
of the new mine is $50 feet wide and
is exposed for more than 1900 feet
along the surface. The vein is the
largest gold paying vein ever found
in the state Of Arizona and as it has
assayed very high it is expected that
the new mine will be a wonderful
money payer. The gold in the vein
runs from the "gras roots" down and
at very shallow depth shows Won
derfully rich ore.
The new mines lie in what is prob
ably one Of the richest gold countries
in the world. The Kofa district has
not been developed because Of it's iso-
lation and it's tuation in the heart of
the desert, miles from water In the
old days prospectors had to carry
their water for more than twenty

LOCAL CUSTOMS.

n CERTAIN American citizen, SO years of age,
AZ got into the world war without waiting to be
n drafted.He served three years with the
Canadian army in France, was wounded, and was
also badly gassed, like many who were there in the
early days before the masks were dependable.
He was lately discharged, and went to visit re-
latves in town in the northern states. While pass
ing through the central part of the city, he was at
tackled by gang of toughs, hammered into uncon-
sciousness and left on the sidewalk an inert heap.
He was afterwards picked up by policeman and
taken to the staton-hOuse, where his injuries were
treated
On returning to consciousness he expressed
natural surprise at the conduct of his aSSailants
He was wearing his uniform at the time-also
his wound stripes ard thought that they would be-
at least, guarantee of safety. He had fought to
protect his fellow-colntrymen for three years. and
had started a cons6 cradle time before they had
thought of participa ing. So he had expected to be
safe on reaching An erica.
Perhaps he would have been safe in Nogales
But this did not happen here. 1t happened III Chi
cago, and the wounded soldier was colored man.
The thugs who committed the outrage disapproved
of his complexion and complexion has Ct late been
frequent pretext for murder in that enlightened
town.
1t isn't very long since Chicago was telling
East ST. Louis what shocking, riotous place that
city And lately tOo,S the SAME attitude toward
Washington. Chicago has told good many places
what they ought to do and be- And perhaps q lot
of places are not all chat they should become But
they have one rcdccming feature. They are not
like Chicago.
Nogales don't try to be a metropolis. Washing
ton is one-Chicago is another. 1t is hard to pick
out the ideal that we should copy; there are not
many ideal cities. Rut at all events we can find
places to classify as awfM warnings. We do, at
least know what to avoid.

BECAUSE the cape has proved to
~ be all things to all women and we
are 10th to part with it, the pictur-
esque lines of this practical garment
have been used as basis, though in
greatly modified form, for many of
the fur wraps of the season. The
wrap in the sketch illustrates this de-
velopment, but the cape lines have
developed almost beyond recognition,
and this model may be said to be
neither coat nor cape.
Another important novelty shown
in short fur coats is a style which
is built on the Russian blouse, with
the fullness drawn snugly into a
deep band that appears to bind the
hips, emphasizing the apparent lack
of waistline, and in the front ties
into a bow as supple as ribbon, so
pliable are furs today.
The silhouette most in evidence in
long fur coats starts with a volumin-
Gus collar and tapers to a minimum
slimness around the ankles. Dolman
lines are used in a surprisingly large
number of models Many of the
coats break the long line of the back
by blousing it, quite below the nor
NAL waistline in many instances. In
the most expensive coats, collars and
cuffs are of the same fur as the coat
Seal, squirrel, nutria, beaver and
moleskin are the popular furs. Mink

FORMER
SERVICE MEN IN
lST CONVENTION

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Nov. 10.
-(By Associated ress)-Twenty-
five thousand delegates and alter
mates representing practically ,000,-
600 former soldiers, sailors and ma
rines in every state and territory of
the United States are in this city
or on their way here to attend the
first national convention of the
American Legion which opens here
today The convention will be in
session for three days, concluding
November II. The delegates will
join with thousands of visitors and
with residents of this city in pa
rade and celebration of Armistice
Day on Tuesday, November IL.
Officers of the Legion feel that this
convention will be of vital interest
not only to former service men and
women but to TIE country at large.
Delegates confront the task of de-
fning the policy Of the Legion with
regard to national issue in which the
welfare of the country and of its
veterans of the great war are inter
mingled. Important questions to be
submitted for decision by the con-
vention include determination of the
attitude of the Legion toward the fu-
ture military policy of the United
States, and vocational education for
war veterans, soldier land legislation
and the future of war risk insurance.
Suggestion has been made by
Franklin D'OHer, of the state organl-
zation section, that in forming its
committees, the convention should
appoint one 30 determine the exact
limitation, if any, upon officers and
committee members of national,
state and post organizatlO.:5 with
reference to their political activities,
to maintain absolutely the non-pollt-
ical character of the American Le-
gion."
Permanent officers of the Legion
are to be elected for the ensuing
year. The location of national head
quarters is to be chosen. A policy
of organization through state
branches and local posts will be sub
mitted. for decision and the names OF
post, state and national offices are
to be determined.
Twenty thousand persons are ex-
pected to participate in the parade
in observance of Armistice Day or
Tuesday. War Camp Community
girls stationed along the line OF
march will sing as the parade is pass
ing. Addresses will be delivered al
the conclusion of the parade. The
election of officers, selection of per
manent national headquarters and
place of the next annual convention
are not expected to be completed un'
til Wednesday the last day OF the
convention.
Minneapolis has been working fol
week to become the choice of the
convention for permanent nationa
headquarters but that honor il
sought also by many other large
cities. There is much competitor
also for selection of the meeting
place for the 1920 convention.
Minneapolis and st. Paul havs
prepared extensive programs of en-
tertainments for the former service
men and women outside of conven'
ton hours. A theater party and box
ing exhibition have been arranged IN
this city for tomorrow evening. A
ball will be given for the visitors
Tuesday night.
