Private G. F. Gutierrez was recently given an honorable discharge from Co. E, 314th Engineers, at San Fran cisco, and came home the first of the week. He left Flagstaff over a year ago, was sent to Camp Funston, and from there transferred to the 314th Engineers, and in very short time was in France up in the front lines. He was at St. Mihiel in the big drive and was wounded September in the hip by shrapnel, but saw the last six days of the great war. He is splen- did specimen of an American soldier and stands up in the air over six feet, all solid bone and muscle. That he was glad to see the old hills and friends again goes without saying.

WAR HISTORY
 AND WORLD MAPS

While The Coconino Sun is not much given to premiums and contest" stunts at any time, the first pictorial re- views, pictures and maps of the great war are of interest to returning soldiers, their rel atives and friends, and for that reason we have picked out a most interesting compilation of "recent events" which we be- lieve will be of great interest to most people. We only have a limited supply of them, and every new subscriber for a year gets one free. They are worth the money--and more. See them.

FIRST TEST LEAGUES
INDUSTRIAL PROGRAM

Fargo, ~ D., June 14.-The first
direct test of the National Nonparti-
san Leagues industrial program will
take place June 26 when a special
referendum election will be held on
seven of the Leagues measures
passed by the North Dakata legisla-
| ture.
Interest centers chiefly upon the
industrial commission bill and the act
providing for establishment ck the
Bank of North Dakota, both of which
are vital to the entire program.
The industrial commission bill pro
vides for a commission which would
contorl the state-owned Industries to
be established. The Bank of North
Dakota would provide funds for
carrying out the program League
supporters say failure of either mea-
sure would disrupt the program.
The other bills to be voted upon
deal with education, t&xat on, state
printing, emigration and judicial re-
districting.
The referendum election was called
| by Governor Frazier after circulation
of petitions by the Independent Vot-
2Ia' association. Tht Association al
Circulated letitions for ihe
mutation OF a mill ana Gle
yator association law. a non-partisan
election law, rural credits law and
= home building law, the initiative
election to be held simultaneously
with the referendum. These measur-
es,with the exception of the non
partisan election law. are included
in the League program.
The initiative petitions contained
more than twice the number of sigma
lures necessary but Governor Frazier
held that the Associations effort to
have the referendum and initiative
held on the same date was merely
an attempt to confuse the issue
Then he named June 26 as the date
fer the referendum. The constitution
requires that initiative petitions be
filed so days before an election. The
initiative petitions were not filed
until late in April.

GOOD PRICESFOR
ALL GEORGIA CROPS
SEASONS HURTING SOME CROPS
AND HELPING OTHERS.

Atlanta, June 17-Authentic re.
ports from all parts OF Georgia to the
State Department of Agriculture indi-
cate that crop conditions are such as
are most likely to command good
prices for products the coming fall
There has been material deteriora-
ticn in cotton during the last two or
three weeks. The cool weather and
showers have been favorable to the
excessive growth of grains, while cot
ton growth has been retarded Re.
ports to the Department show that
there has been material reduction
in the cotton acreage, and that
through the southwestern to the south
eastern portion of the state the boil
weevil is exceedingly active and will
do much damage.
The reports as to the condition Of
cotton coming to the Department, are
exactly in line with those promulgat-
cd by the United States Department
Of Agriculture in Washington, and in
dictate strongly material reduction
in the amount of the Georgia cotton
yield this year.
In addition to bad weather condi-
tions, considerable trouble has been
experienced on account of the short
age of labor Many sections of the
state have indicated demand for cot
ton choppers, and on many farms, as
the result of the inability to obtain
them, the women and even young girls
are working in the cotton fields. This
is state of affairs which the south
proposes to remedy just as soon as
possible.
Reports indicate a fairly good stand
for corn all over the state. Where
there is large number of hogs and
cattle, the velvet beans acreage seems
to have been materially increased
Sorghum is being planted extensively.
both for forage and syrup; and this
IS said to look better than any other
crop. One material advantage from
the rainy weather has been the glant-
ing OF a large sweet potato acreage
and favorable condition for larg-
er yield. Tobacco is looking well and
the acreage, particularly in bright
tobacco" has been largely increased.
The tendency has been to plant 2
larger acreage of peanuts and more to
the acre This crop is said to be max
iae considerable progress.
