HOW SOME FAMILIAR
 EXPRESSIONS STARTED

By hook or crook" is said to have originated just after the great fire of London in 1866. After the destruction of some 13,200 houses there were many claims for land, and the veri- fication of such claims was no easy matter. To surmount the great diff culty, two arbitrators were appoint ed--a MT. Hook and MT. Crook both surveyors of London. Thus the expression, "by hook or by crook" arose, though later it applied to "the performing of any difficult thing, no matter what happened" Another version of the saying, however, is that it comes from quotation: "Wickedly like a robber, or righteously like a bishop"-the hook being used by the former, the crook by the latter.
 Feather in his cap," originated many hundreds of years back, when hero in battle, instead of being award ed the V. C. or other such medal for bravery, had feather put in his head dress. Thus the red Indians and blacks wear many feathers around their heads-each feather represent ing one of the enemy killed.
 Corporations have no souls" origi- mated with Sir Edward Coke, the great Sixteenth Century lawyer. In one of his treatises he said: Corporations can not commit trespass, now be out lawed, nor communicated, for they have no souls."
 Cleanliness is next to godliness," is said to have originated among the Cossacks, who believe that "they will enter heaven if they are personally clean when they get killed in battle Consequently, before an expected bat tie, each one would perform his toilet with scrupulous care, dress in clean linen and go forth smiling.

FATE OF STATE LAND CASE TO
 BE DECIDED BY SUPREME COURT

creased salary allowed under the bill. About the same time another test case was filed by group of Cochise coun- ty homesteaders against Land Com missioner Mouer, to restrain him from issuing leases under the terms of the new land law. This law raises the limitation of one, section, to each leaser and raises the maximum term of lease from five years to twenty years. The land bill or the land grab bill, as it was called, was bitterly fought in both houses of the legisla- ture, and even after it went to the secretary of state, formidable refer endum movement was started against it. This fell through at the eleventh hour through the failure of E. O'Brien Mann, leader of the movement, to file a sufficient number of names, though the required number had been collect, ed, it is claimed.
 Though the arguments Saturday were confined to the Clark case,, the issues are the same as in the land law, and the courts decision will also affect three other measures which were passed in the same manner.
 Charles B. Ward, an attorney for the Arizona Cattle Growers Associa- ton, contended that the measures in question are now laws. Will F. Ryan, representing Clark, argued to the same effect.
 The state, which takes the stand that the measures are non-operative, was represented by Assistant Attor- neys General l.. B. Whitney and A. A. Baker. Attorney Frank E.. Curley of Tucson, appeared ss "a friend of tfe court"

CHINO VALLEY TO HAVE
 FAIR OCTOBER FOURTEENTH

The Chino Valley farmers bureau has in its membership a live progress sive number of the farmers. It has been planned by that association to give community fair, to be held at the Prescott farms schoolhouse on Tuesday, October IA. On that day the farmers will take their products and they will be judged. Two days later the entire exhibit will be taken to the Northern Arizona State Fair at Pres colt and set up as a community dis play.
 The farmers believe that this wi 1 assist them in making a much bett.t display for the reason that the juds- ing can be done aloud and they can directly benefit from the decisions made by the judges. This will also give them better chance to line up a community exhibit.
 This is done purely from an educa- tional standpoint. The judging will commence at 10:30 in the morning of the 14th, and in the afternoon sports of all kinds will be held.
 A. B. Millett, president of the Chino Valley farmers bureau, was in Pres colt Saturday and through the North ern Arizona State Fair Association, extended an invitation to any inter- ested people of the county to visit the community fair. Professor George, in charge of the school, is boosting the community fair and is responsible for

Arguments were heard before the supreme court Saturday in the Ben Clark salary case, on the decision in which rests the fate of the state land bill. These bills were passed as emergency measures, but failed to re- ceive the approval of the governor as far as his signature was concerned. He simply passed them on to the sec retary of state, and immediately con- fusion arose as to whether they were laws or whether they would become laws after the 90-day period had ex- pired in which to file referendum peti! tions. The case is submitted.
 The constitution provides that in order for any law passed by the legis- lature to become immediately effective 1t must have been passed by two thirds vote of both houses and also be signed by the governor; or, failing to receive his signature, must be passed over his veto by three-fourths vote. There was no opportunity for securing the three-fourths vote in the case of these bills for the reason that the legislature had adjourned.
 When the cases came up in the low CT court before Judge Pattee, sitting for one of the local judges, he ruled that the bills were not laws during the 90-day period, but did not go fur ther than this. In the event that this decision is upheld, the action of the lower court on the question of what is to become of the bills, will now be watched with interest. Must they be torn out of the statute books, or must they be treated as ordinary measures, and are they now in effect, is the ques- tion which the supreme court must de- eide.
 When doubts as to the validity of the measures was first raised, test case was filed by Ben R. Clark, deputy land commissioner, against Jesse L. Boyce, state auditor, to compel him to pay claims on the basis of the in

DIR. HIGHT TO ATTEND
 CONFERENCE OF "VETS"

Convinced that Arizona should do its part toward checking tuberculosis in dairy animals, Dr. R. J. Flight, state veterinarian, left Phoenix last Saturday for Chicago to attend con- ference between all state veterinarians and representative of the federal bu- reau of animal husbandry. The spe- cial purpose of the conference will be to discuss ways and means to further the eradication of tuberculosis in cattle.
 Arizona is one of three states in the Union which have failed to CO., operate with the bureau of animal husbandry in this matter" said Dr. Flight, on leaving. q am going to Chicago for the purpose of making a thorough study of the methods which are being employed in other states and hope to secure data to lay before the Arizona legislature which will result in securing an appropria- tion to carry on the work here.
 Tuberculosis in cattle is continual ly spreading, not only among dairy herds, but to other animals, and is be- ing communicated to human beings as well. In Arizona we have had several cases of tuberculosis in swine, traced to milk from tubercular cows"
 pr. Flight will also visit the national dairy show in Chicago. He expects to return in about ten days.

Wilson today made public the fol-
lowing questions propoundcd by Inc
san Francisco Association for the
League OF Nations and his answers
thereto:
T. VIII you skate the underlying
consideration which dictated an award
ing OF six votes 10 the British empire
i'm the assembly and Is 10 true that
Great Britain Will OutVote IN ula
League OF Nations and thereby control
ihe leagues action?
Answer. The consideration which
led 10 assigning six votes to the SELF
governing portions Of the British EN-
pire was that they have in effect in
an but foreign policies become autono-
NOUS self-goyerning States, their policy
In all but foreign affairs being inde-
pendent Of the control Of the BRUSH
government and in many respects dis
similar from it. But IL is not true
that the British empire can outNoie
Us in the league Of nations and there
fore control the action Of the league
because in every matter except tue ad-
mission Of new members 20 the league
no action can be taken without the
concurrence Of unanimous vote ol
: the representatives Of the states whlch
| are members OF The council so tlfat in
! all matters OF action, the aihrihatN'
vote Of the United states IS necessary
and equivalent TO the united vote ol
the Representatives Of the several parts
OF the British empire. The unitet
votes Of the several parts Of the British
empire cannot Offset or overcome tht
vote Of the United states.
=. Is 70 true that under the league oi
nations foreign countries can order the
sending Of American troops TO foreign
countries?
Answer. Il IS not. The right OF Con
gress TO determine such matters is In
no wise impaired.
2. What effect will the League OF Ma
tions have in either forwarding or him
dering the final restoration OF Shantung
10 China What effect VIII the League Of
Nations have in preventing the further
spollaiion Of China and the abrogalion
Of all such special privileges now en-
ioyed in China by foreign cOuntries??
Answer: The League Of Nations will
have a very powerful effect in forward
ing the nnal restoration Of Santung TO
China and no other instrumentality or
action can be substituted which could
bring that result about. The authority
OF the league under Article y will be
constantly directed toward safeguard
