FARM PAPERS FOR PEACE
LEAGUE

The verdict of the agricultural
press overwhelmingly favors rati-
fication Of the League of Nations
covenant in its present form,
Judging from the results of a can
vass announced today by Prof.
w. j Campbell, rural extension
secretary of the League to En-
force Peace.
Editors and publishers of &C
farm papers including nearly
every prominent publication of
this kind in the country, an
swered a questionnaire recently
sent out by the league. Sixty
two Of these unqualifiedly favor
ed ratification Of the covenant as
it standsA Two were Tor ratifica-
ton conditioned upon on clearer
understanding of the covenant s
meaning. One was non-commit-
tai; and only one absolutely OPP
posed.
In reporting the results of this
canvass, Prof. Campbell says that
it is more convincing even that
the long list of several hundred
favorable resolutions adopted by
oranges and other agricultural Or
ganizations and now on file at
the national headquarters Of the
league. Many editors wrote that
in their stand for the covenant
they voiced the opinions Of the
vast majority Of their readers.
The sixty-six papers represent a
constituency covering forty-three
states Six of them, all favorable
to the league, report a combined
of 100000.

A general countrywide cam

Wages are paid for the Great
ing of wealth. Wages are labor's
share of the wealth it has pro-
duced, rather than a mortgage on
wealth that it will produce
Wealth depends upon consrtuc-
ton; and in the building field
not only does the individual add
to his personal wealth, but he
adds to the assets Of the nation.
The United States now has
more wealth than any other two
nations combined. Every house

WATER MAKES HIM FAT.

While hundreds of men in the army in Camp Travis are anxious to get out of service and back into civilian life. Cecil Rooms of Eaton. N. M., is hap py because he got in.
 He rushed into a Y. M. c. A. build ing, threw his hat toward the ceiling and danced around. The attention of the "Y' secretaries was directed to- ward him by his antics and they in quired the cause of his glee.
 It was then that the story was told. During the war Cecil could not get into the army on account of his age. He became eighteen years old not long ago and enlisted.
 After his preliminary examination he was accepted although he was just heavy enough to pass the mark set by the regulations. When he was exam ined at Camp Travis it was found that ne was two pounds under weight Then he was in the midst of gloom.
 "What did you do?" someone asked

GREATEST DRUNK IN
 HISTORY OF THE Z PAPAG0S

What is said to have been the big gest drunk, the most comprehensive jag in the history of alcoholism in the United States, has just been pulled off in the Papago country. The whole tribe was lit up. That was probably what gave the impression of the northern lights or the aurora Borealis a few days ago. But it was only a drunk and the extraordinary dimensions of it was due to a miscalculation technical ly called miscue. The drunk itself was preordained. It had it's roots in religion and superstition. It was an annual rite. It will be repeated, though not on quite such a scale, in spite of all the prohibition legislation
 n Arizona.
 The drunk happened. and consider ing the size of it and all the circum- stances, the use of ''happen sd' is ad vised, on the Papago reservation at one of the central villages about 40 miles south of Casa Grande. That vast stretch of country, is a terra incognita It is the only frontier left in the Unit ed States. It abounds in mystery.

"CYcLONE BILL" HAS S1o,000 LAWSUIT

Although injured nearly two years ago by being thrown from a wagon into gulch, Captain W. E. Beck, bet ter known as Cyclone Bill is at last to have his damage case heard before the Superior court at Holbrook early next mnth. He is suing O. D M Flake, owner of the transportation line, for $1O,0O0 for injuries from which he is still suffering.
 Captain Beck filed the suit imme- diately after recovering sufficiently to walk but legal action was deferred un- til he retained a short time ago Harb- en and Gold, attrneys of Flagstaff, who advised their client few days ago that the case had at last been docketed and would be tried.
 Captain Beck stated yesterday he paid his fare from Holbrook to Fort Apache, was placed aboard an auto that broke down and was transferred to wagon, and in runaay he was thrown violently to the ground, the principal injury being to his back.

More than $2OO.OOO worth of athletic equipment has been distributed throughout the Third army in the Rhineland by the Y. M. 0. A. athletic department In six weeks for use either in games for recreation or training leading up to championship competi- tiOnS.
 The "Y" also has assigned 40 ath- letic directors to duty with this army. Footballs, baseball material, track and field equipment and great quantity of suits have been supplied.
 In addition to this the Y. M. 0. A. has distributed 1,200 sets of boxing gloves in the Third army and is CO operating with the army officials in the A. B. F. championship contests. Boxing bouts have become almost as popular as theatrical entertainments In the Rhine forces. About 1000 men attend the six bouts staged weekly by the ''Y' at COblenz and 5000 the six bouts staged weekly at Neuweid.

 There are strange things there; for instance a cave whose walls are cov- cred with hieroglyphics unlike any other seen in North America. There are many skeletons there in strange dresses There is one, that of a wo- man with long yellow hair. The h. dians say their fathers and their fath- CTS know no more about these people than they do themselves; the hiero- glyhics and the skeletons were there generations ago Ethnologists have Hound a resemblance of the skulls in that cave of those of eastern Asiatics. But nothing herein has anything to do with the big drunk that recently marred the reign of Arizona law and war time prohibition. Perhaps the Papa gos did not know about the Arizona law If they had ever heard of the
 nr and war time prohibition, that they might have had reason to sup pose that the war was over, that the army had been demobiliped But per haps they did not care fingers con. tinental. They would not anyhow let the foolishness of the whites interfere with their religious ceremonies and in that they seemed to have the sanction of the United States constitution though they did not really need it.
