Asks For Thorough Inquory
 It is your duty as Grand Jury to inquire into all these allaged vio- lations of the laws of this State in this county You should not go about such an investigation in a perfunctory manner, but on the con- trary it is your duty to inquire into all such alleged violations of the law in a thorough manner. Your ole object should be to arrive at the truth concerning the whole sub feet.
 You will also inquire into the con- lition and management of all pub ic prisons in the county; also into any willful misconduct in offices )f public officers, county or city. You may, if you believe good reas- >n exists therefor, examine the pub ic records of the county.
 The Court does not wish you to infer, from anything I have said in hese instructions or from anything set forth in the instructions here tofore given you, that you shall con inc your Investigations only to such ,ubjects as have been mentioned by he Court. Other matters may, and doubtless will, suggest themselves o you as subjects which are en- tiled to your attention and con- ;ideration. But do not concern your selves much with minor infractions )f the law. To the other regularly established officials and tribunals, whose duty it is continually to look ,fter the petty offender, may be entrusted the task of experimenting and punishing the common type of criminals.
 Wishes Work Completed
 You have the right at any subse- quent time to ask the advice of the on which you may want informa- tion, but this, in all probability, will not be necessary as the prosecuting attorney or one of his deputies will lttend all your sessions, whose ad- vice, as I have hereinbefore told you, VIII De gwen WlieH doheu lOi by you.
 Under the rules of this court it is made the duty of the judges of the court to call Grand Jury in the month of November of each year. Like all other rules of Court this rule may be changed, added to or abrogated by the judges when necessity or occasion seems to war rant such action. It is the wish of the Court that the Grand Jury will make it's inquiry so complete as to obviate the necessity of call ing another Grand Jury during the year.
 Now members of the Grand Jury, with the foregoing instructions, to- yether with the instructions which have heretofore given you, let me 1rge upon you that you dispatch your work justly and as quickly as he circumstances and conditions will permit, and in such manner IS to preserve the confidence or he people in the efficiency Of the irand Jury system. In investigat- ng the public business apply the 'ame common sense, thoroughness md dispatch which you would ob- ,erve in a private matter of import nee to yourself.

Officer is Killed By Drunken
 Mexican in Tempe City Jail

While attempting to disarm Mex ican in the city jail at Tempe, last Saturday night, Albert Kettle, a nghwatchman, was shot three times and died from the wounds the follow ing day. City Marshall Cummins had arrested four Mexicans who were drunk and took them to the city jail. After they had become somewhat sob cred he gave them supper and was taking them back to their cells when one became abusive because he was being separated from the Mexican he wished to go into the cell with, and in the scuffle that ensued between the Marshall and the Mexican the off cer's gun dropped to the floor. Net tie at that time came in with other prisoners and the Marshall called his attention to the gun on the floor and he went forward to assist him. He saw a Mexican grab the gun and he grabbed the Mexican to prevent it's being used when another Mexican ob- tained his gun and fired point blank at him. He was struggling with the prisoner and the bullet went over his

in helping to build these settlements. The balance can be paid from the proceeds from the sale of crops.
 It is planned that the Government will also furnish the new farmers with the necessary stock and farm implements, these to be paid for in small payments spread over several years.
 These farms will contain from forty to eighty acres for general farming purposes, from eigthy to one hundred and sixty acres for live stock purpos- es, from fifteen to twenty acres for fruit farms and from five to twenty acres for truck farms.
 Competent instructors in farm prac- tice will be stationed on each project to teach the men how to make suc- cess of farming. This will make it possible for men who know nothing about farming to make success of these farms. The plan is to be open to every man who has worn Uncle Sam's uniform in the great war.

Exploded Theory

The married man concluded to try out his new theory. Addressing his spouse he said:
 "My dear, I should like to go to Jones' tonight for several hours. MT. Jones is not i'll and does not require any sitting up with. If he did, should let his wife do it. MT. Jones is perfectly we'll, so far as I know, ex- cept for a certain itching for a poker game. He is notoriously rotten poker player, and very likely could be nick ed for several dollars in the course of the evening. There might be something to drink-he did not specify concerning that. He only said my presence would be appreciated. I am sure that since have told you the truth about this affair you will con- sent to my going. Am l right?"
 He was not.--Kansas City Star.

A Giant Sleeps Within You
Nautilus.

Nautilus.
 Do not jump to the conclusion that because you have never done anything out of the ordinary that you are not capable of it. Many of the greatest achievements in the worlds history have been performed by men who very suddenly and by some accident discovered themselves. Then after they once got glimpse of the larger man they were never again satisfied until they called him out.
 If there is giant sleeping in you why arouse him? You would feel in- suited if anyone were to tell you that you had done already the biggest thing that was possible to you; that you had already called out the biggest man that was there, the possible man. You know you have not done any such thing. You know you have not come anywhere near it as yet.

(Nestle's) head and killed the Mexi- can. Nestle was then shot three times with his own gun, the bullets entering the abdomen, the arm and the head. Cummins had been knock ed out by one of the prisoners and was lying partly unconscious on the floor. The Mexicans fled, but the one who did the shooting was soon apprehended. Search is being made for the others and there is probab- ility of their arrest. Maricopa has the distinction of more murders the past year than any other county in the state, which is due to the bad class of Mexicans that have been brought in there to do farm and other work

RILEY'S RICH POEM
Toronto Mail and Express.

Toronto Mall ana EXpreSS
 If the heirs of the late Colonel John McCrae were able to collect only a cent a word for 'In Flanders Field" from each newspaper that has printed the lines they would garner trAmen- dous sum of money in the course of the next few years. In all probability their earnings would exceed those of James Whitcomb Riley from his poem "An Old Sweetheart of Mine," which is said to be the greatest money win her of any poem ever written, and the best paid pieces of literary work ever published, the numbr of words con- sidered. Year after year the poem appears in some new form from which the author or his estate draw a roy atty, and it has been estimated that up to the present time it has earned at about the rate of $500 word.

Peace In Flanders

Sleep, rest brave hearts In Flanders field. Ye willed to die
 And not to yield. Soon learned the truth Of life, to know That sacrifice For what is right Shall ever triumph
 Over might, True to this faith
 Ye fought the fight, On fields where peoples grow. Sleep on, brave lads,
 Bright sunrise glow Beams OCT the land
 Where poppies blow; A land where Freedom lives, Where red did flow The blood of brother,
 Friend and foe; Fair land that lives
 Because ye died, Ye loved of Britain's
 Youth, her pride, Far fields of Flanders, Glorified, Where red the poppies grow.

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

1t is poor Senator who could
not enormously improve the Ten
Commandments, or the Sermon on
the Mount, or the Constitution of
the United States. If the authors
of the first two utterances should
appear with the most painstaking
arguments in support of them, it
is the poorest kind of lawyer who
could not pile up objections in de-
tail, under hypothetical cases twice
as fast as the authors could adduce
reasons for accepting the utter
ances. That is more or less the
trade of flawyers. Given body of
men who want to raise hypotheti-
cal objections, the first paragraph
OF the Declaration of independence
would have provoked so many
arguments that the document
would have been under debate to
this hour, and our half dollars
would be adorned with the image
OF King George.
If you take any possible consti-
tuition of League of Nations as
the last word that is ever going to
be said on the subject, as fixing
now and forever the terms of in
ternatlonal relations, and then set
yourself to conjuring up hypothe-
tlcal cases under which it might
not work we'll, you would never
get League of Nations. And
that-do not forget-is exactly
what some of the senatorial objee-
tors want: no League of Nations,

uonal system, which gave the
great war an ample opportunity.

The precise form in which the
constitution of the league is cast

national organization and to get a
