YOUTH IS PRIDE OF ITALY
Only Twelve Years Old, but He Has
Won Great Distinction as
Brave Soldier.

On going to see the army of the
Grappa q writer for the Marzocco
met the smallest soldier in the Ital-
ian army-a boy refugee of twelve, in
the telephone service. His uniform
bears distinctive marks for wounds.
Besides he has been decorated. His
name is Patriarch. He was born at
San Daniele of Friuli. His parents
died when he was very young and he
worked in a carpenters shop.
After Caporetto he left his native
country, and from that day the war
began for him. In the retreat he join
ed a detachment of arditi, and with
them performed prodigies of valor.
On Monte TOmba, in November, when
the German hOrdes pressed on from
the QuerO to overcome the defenses
of Mount Grappa and Of the Piave at
one stroke, he went out in a squad
with several arditi. He carried three
hand grenades, larger than his little
hands, but the arditi had taught him
to throw them like stones at the swal-
lows.
He arrived at the lines and pushed
On to point well within the enemy
lines till he reached a group of Ger
mans, comprising a Prussian officer
and three soldiers with machine guns.
A grenade shot out from his hand,
and 1t was well aimed The officer
was crushed to earth. The frighten-
ed soldiers raised their hands. The
boy threatened them, gesticulating
with the other bombs.
He drove the three big soldiers be-
fore him like sheep, dragging their
machine gun. This story, which reads
like a fable, is only single page in
the marvellous military history Of Mas
ter Observation-Disclosures News

VAST USELESS WASTE OF LAND

There is slight mtimation on the part of thegovernment that the limit of land withdraw als has nearly been reached. This indication is from recent act of Congress permitting the untold wealth of Indian reservations to be now worked by white men under certain restrictions.
 If there was ever state in the Union al- most completely conserved and withdrawn" to be kept for our "childrens children" it is Ari- zona. It has ben difficult matter for a mere homesteader to settle on piece of land and get title to it, for every safeguard" possible was thrown about it in order that the homesteader could not beat the government out of it. But when it came to the big fellows hundreds of thousands of acres would be withdrawn for the Indians or for Conservation, in order that there might be lieu lands a-plenty for them.
 The map of Arizona is one vast blotch, not only of withdrawn lands" but of methods em- ployed in doing it as well. There is ten times as much land now covered into Indian reserva- tions than can or ever will be used by the h. dians; it waste, pure and simple; yet returned soldiers and men who would make bona fide homes and settle up the country are denied the use of any part of it. Thousands of acres are leased as pasture lands to large stockmen, and large revenues are thus obtained by the Indian department; but this has no effect on the vast appropriations made for the Indians every year.
 These same lands, if developed by the whites, would pay for the support of ten times the num- Der of Indians on the reservation, with money in the bank besides Yet under existing cOndi-s tions, it is vast waste used to lease to whites for grazing and the people pay millions besides to keep up the farce of caring for the poor h. dian
 A great portion of the other withdrawals made by some officious public servant who wants to show he is doing something" to the people, are without benefit except to prevent develop ment and provide jobs for the worthy.
 No other country would stand for the waste nor would the representatives in Congress of any other state sit idly by and see their state "wal- ler' along in such condition.

GOING THE LIMIT

Major George H. Kelly, of Douglas goes the limit when, in an Attempt to bolster up the cause of Senator Marcus A. Smith, who is about to be discarded by Arizona Democrats, claims credit for Smith for passing the bill admitting Arizona as state and for preventing Arizona from being joined with New Mexico as a single state
 Major Kelley must think that the people of Arizona are suffering from lapse of memory or are pack of boobs if he expects them to believe such statements.
 Everybody knows that Marcus A. Smith had been trying in vain for 20 years to get Arizona statehood prior to 1908, when he was defeated by Ralph H. Cameron, Republican. Cameron went to Washington and with the aid of Presi- dent Taft Frank H. Hitchcock, postmaster gen. eral and chairman of the Republican national committee and other powerful leaders in Wash ington, he put through the statehood bill, and President Taft signed the measure on July 15, 1912. Thus what Smith had sought to accom- plish in about eight terms was put through by Republican during his first term.
 As for joint statehood, when Arizona was threatened, it was Senator Joseph B. Foraker who came to her aid and put through the famous Foraker amendment. He was induced to take this course by number of close friends in the state, among them Governor Joseph H. Kibby, the editor of this newspaper, and others in Ari- zona who had known Senator Foraker for years and explained the conditions here to him. A greater fight than he made to spare Arizona from joint statehood was never conducted on the floor of Congress, and there should be monu- ment in this state to his memory. Otherwise, some admirer of Mark Smith like Major Kelly, will be trying to erect memorial to him after he has gone, for the great service he rendered Arizona in saving us from joint statehood and in securing single statehood for us.
 If this is the best that can be said for Marcus A. Smith, he is pretty hard up for a campaign cry for 1920.-Tucson Citizen.

PEOPLE PAK s2, ,ooo, ,ooo FOR NEGLIGENCE

Testimony before the war Investigating com mittee of the House is to the effect that the War Department was responsible for not promptly savaging the cargo of the Port Hunter, which sank off the Massachusetts coast last November
 It will be recalled that the vessel was rammed by tug and sank in shallow water with her decks scarcely awash. She had on board a $5,00O,0O0 cargo of supplies for France, but.al- though the Department at Washington was very promptly notified no action whatever was taken to save the stores until over two months later. Meanwhile the ship had been visited by the en- terprising residents of Martha's Vineyard and $2,OO0,0O0 worth of her cargo removed and sold, under the impression that the boat had been abandoned by the government.
 The incident is characteristic of the gross carelessness with the peoples money exhibited by MT. Bakers department throughout the war, additional proofs of which are being unearthed almost every day in the investigations of the congressional committees

The cotton planters of the South now want the government to hand over billion dollars to stabilize cotton" During the war cotton was about the only commodity not tampered with as to price (the South didn't want prices fixed for them; but it was all right for corn, wheat, and other Northern products). The cotton planters seem to have got theirs during the war, and now they want cotton stabilized" - presumably meaning that they want the government to help keep the price up Should think some of the boys who sold their swamp land to the war de partment for fabulous prices might kick in ia little.

The Literary Digest accomplished unique feat in the way of printing when they publish ed their last edition without typesetting Owing to the strike of printers in New York, the mat ter for publication was printed from typewrit- ten manuscript by a photo-engrayure process. The publishers claim the process is a practical one, much cheaper than the setting of type and may result in perfected process that will do away entirely with typesetting.

Democratic papers have commenced booming Mark Smith for the United States Senate again. Smiths boom is very apt to be "boombed" this next season. It is amazing how many things New Mexico can put over in Congress, including the decrease in their draft, land grants, and the like, while Arizona ever gets the worst end of the deal. What is it? Our representation, or the lack of it?

SPECIALIZE IN Feeder HOGS
One Hundred Carloads Of Cholera.
Free Animals Shipped Annually
From South Dakota.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agrlculture.)
Feeder hogs, perfect as to speclflca'
ton and designed to satisfy the most
discriminating purchaser, are exported
annually from the Belle Fourche
reclamation project, South Dakota.
Approximately 100 carloads Of cholera
free and alfalfa-raised porkers are
shipped each season. The output for
the last few years has been purchased
by Nebraska farmers who fatten and
condition the hogs for the central mar
kets. A special advantage about such
shipments is that the animals need
not be held In quarantine while vacci'
mated to satisfy the requirements OF
interstate shipment, and the purchaser
does not have to bear added expenses,
such as yardage and feed costs, which
he would have to pay IL he bought his
stock hogs on the central market.

er hand, alfalfa hay IS grown in abun-
dance, and the pasture afforded Is
keenly relished by the hogs. Hence
the project farmers are limiting their
operations to feeder-hog production.
A cooperative live stock shipping as
sociation has been organized on the
Belle Fourche project to market the
hogs in unique fashion this fall. The
plan is to secure carload orders for
these hogs so that they may be shipped
out in small train loads for delivery
to points east Of the Missouri river.
The idea is to have about fifteen cars
of hogs in each train, these cars being
loaded at Newell and Nisland on the
project and to be carried to destina-
ton, without stopping for feed or wa
ter, within the 36-hour limit. 1nfor-
nation is being promulgated among
the prospective buyers along the route
regarding the freight rates on a mini
mum car of feeder hogs so that they
can estimate accurately the gross cost
of such q load Of quality feeders de-
livered at their destination. The hogs
sold during the fall of 1913 ranged
from 16 to 81 cents pound t. o. b.
cars, some of the loads being sold
above the market quotation and some
of them under.

Ing feeder hogs should be Of interest to
other stock raisers and feeders In va

through a cooperative shipping asso-
citation directly from the producer to
the purchaser makes it certain that
the buyer will receive the hogs at his
station at a minimum cost for handling
in transit. Furthermore, the fact that
the animals come from cholera-free
country is positive insurance against
losses from that disease, If the hogs
are not exposed to infection in transit
or subsequent to their delivery at their
new homes. Prospects are that In the
