What's this to do with getting .o- gcther for Old Yavapai? Why. a Anole lot | sat on a hotel porch the other day in one of our smaller towns and while l was writing part of this article l listened to the ralk of hall dozen men who were lounging there.

 There was a cowboy who saw visions of porterhouse steak so cheap that nobody wanted it-and beside there wasn't going to be any more rain, ever, and all the cattle would Nlie.
 \ rancher came along and con tributed more drouth and grasshop- pers and low prices to the gloom and two returned soldiers discussed the cussedness oi human nature all the way from the training camps to the trenches.

But right outside the sun was shining ard the hills were green and the farms looked fine and we had seen lots of fat cattle on he days trip. and the smoke was rising steadily from the big smoke stack .at the smclter-and every man in the bunch would nave turned his pockets inside-out for person in need.
 I'll bet those soldiers were as fine fellows as ever sang, "We1l Bring Home the Bacon and We Won't For get the Rhine" Everybody was just erouching and nobody believed those chunks of eloon-but you'd have thought old Yayapais funera, procession was passing by and that Uncle Sam had been measured for his coffin.

Why Not Special Corn Show

 Too early to talk of the Northern Arizona Fair mith Frontier Days just, around the corner? No, just the right time Frontier Days arc our big playday of the year, it represents tho range interests and early history, and general good times besidc-the Fair should and may. represent the people at work. and what their work has accomplished in the year.

 Yavapai is not reckoned primarily as 'an agricultural county. yet year after year she sends prize-winning 2 Axhibits to tlie State Fair at Phoenix and with timely look ahead the test exhibit of the past could be bettered by half this fall.

URGE CONGRESS SPEED PH()NE:
 RELEASE

That speedy action by congress is necessary to restore the telephone companies >to private ownership, that their financial destruction may not follow in the trace of huge increases i'll costs without adequate increases III revenue. is urged by the heads of ne American Telephone and inde- pendent companies in letter to the members oi congress Tine letter, mich is signed by Theo \. Vail, president of'the American Telephone apd Telegraph Co.. and G. w. Rob iason. president of the United States independent Telephone association. l. as follows:
 "On midnight. July 5l. 1918, under , the authority of congress for war purposes, the president took super vision, possession. control and opera Ion of the telephone systems Of the country and has since operated them 'i'he war has practically ceased. The public press is strongly demanding and the general public and the own CTS of the telephone properties are urging, that they bc returned as speedily as possible. that former con ditions may be restored and more satisfactory service be afforded. The president and the postmaster-genc have announced that this will he done as soon as adequate arrange lnents be provided for receiving and ;dvantaseously operating them. + remains only for congress to enact srch legislation as speedily as pos sihle.
 "The expenses of these systems have largely increased during the past year, for wages alone at the rate of more than S20000,00O per an run. This was inevitable and nes- csSary by reason of larger propor- ronal increases by the railroads and industries of the country. The roy tnues arc' inadequate to care for such increases. and the deficit of the Goyernnent on that account to date ;s- largely and steadily increasing. The general ordered that steps be taken to secure adequ4te revenues but contentious with the regulatory authorities of tlle states. not yet settled, have prevented such adjustments
 If such conditions continue, nee ossarily the credit of the operating companies will be impaired. proper expenses cannot be mel. the best operating forces cannot \be retained. ! rcededs extensions and satisfactory ! sere;ce cannot be provided. A de. ! 'crioration will ensue which in some localities may threaten a recurrence ! 'c pub,ic ownership or operation in order to care. even inadequatoly, for . public needs.

 "Just and speedy settlements should be made for all properties ta len under the existing law. that such balances now in the possession of the | Government may be restored to as est in the upbuilding and extension of the vaFiors systems for better | rublic use. The conditions and reg ''iation of operation should be clearly | dehned so as to permit the com ranies to re-establisn and maintain 2 satisfactory service with reasonable rates without discrimination and pro- carc the benefits of legitimate com retition.

Something New For the
 Home Cook.

! 1hlS IS the DetWlNt ana DctWCoh season for the country woman s
 table: our canned things are about gone and our gardens are mostly on
 the way but not on the table, and
 many of us are long way from markets.
 Perhaps few of us know that we can press into good service the bean tifu, rose and green blossom stalk ot
 .he mescal. now rising on every rocky hillside.
 Taken when from two or three feet tall, before the knobby blossom buds develop at the top, this stem IS tender and brittle as asparagus.
 Peeled. cut in thin slices. parboiled
 for half an hour in salted water. drained, cooked very tender, and seasoned with butter and milk 1t IS between asparagus and summer squash in flavor. With sugar and a bit of lemon or orange 1t suggests early apples: cooked in a heavy syrup it is good and unusual pre- serve. and candied it is a rival of the well known cactus candy.
 What City and Country Have
 To Sell Each Other.
 All over Yavapai county our fruit trees are hanging full of growing fruit-soon we shall be listening for the autos of our city friends who come hunting something good to eat. Our spring chickens are ripen- ing up already and the demand seems | likely to be greater than the supply. From time to time this department will give hints of where the fruit is ready for picking and the chickens ripest-not to mention the quail crop which bids fair to exceed all previous records.
 lust now there are some eXcep- tionally good things in town for .he country buyer We women who are farming and poultry raising, or driving an auto over the hills fer business or pleasure will find big line of the niftiest outdoor clothes ali the Bashford Burmister company. They have the first Lee coveralls fo- women that the writer has found on sale-one of the most comfortable and durable of garments for outdoor work-imighty handy to carry in the car in case tires have to be changed, too.
 Their khaki outing suits for wom- en are as pretty and full of style as they are of service and at least one Yavapai woman will never bother her head again with trying to con rive working clothes with her own needle when things so much better md prettier are right at hand about ( 10 per cent cheaper than hands al l -eady overbusy could make them up.

 New Forage Crops.
 Range conditions promise better III Yavapai than for years past but more Yavapai stock men are trying Ito grow winter feed than ever be- fore. Alfalfa. corr. Sudan. and vari- ous sorehuns will be the main crop but 1t would be valuable to know how many new forage plants are De- ing tried out and this department in- tends to give word of some Of them
 In California supposed hybrid between Sudan grass and honeyeane has been hailed as the greatest hay and silo crop yet discovered for the Southwest. The seed resembles cane but the growth is like Sudan ana promises to stand spring cold better fOne ranch has seed of two torage plants from Italy that are the csist forage dependence in the upland re- gions-of that country and small quantity of the favorite sorghum ot Australia. known there as The Planters Friend" and grown in the desert areas. is to be tried out. Such small experiments have given the West its best forage crops and new trials are extremely valuable.
 Arizona Indian Corn
 For Silage.
 To be sure planting is mostly done for this spring but it Is not too late to fill any available spots with native Indian corn which produces a quan- tity of silo filling equal to any ot the things the seed dealers are featuring. Most varieties will in fact ripen good ears if planted any time up to July 1Ctn. The big-eared Papago corn IS equal to sugar varieties for the table and canning and surer than any of them. Planted now it will hit the fall canning season just right. ID. Lew have the seed. This variety seems likely to command high prices in the seed market for some time to come
 Yavapai Poultry.
 The poultry growers of Yavapai have as fire and steady market as can be found in the state, and i0t of good poultry to back it. Now IS the time to plan for scoops at the poultry show this fall-the prizes have always been pretty good and we'll hope they may, be better
 The best fun on ranch IS the poultry-one farm know has sep arate, pens for Anconas, the greatest layers ever; Partridge / Plymouth Rocks. Black I.angshans. White Leghorns. and Bantams galore, with guineas. turkeys and lordly pea cock nanred "King Solomon" on the side.
