FLAG OF THE 15STH
 BACK AT STATEH0USE

The state flag presented by Cover. nor Campbell to the 158th Infantry and carried to France by that organiz, ation, has been found. For months and months it had been missing. The last seen of it was in France, and those responsible were becoming wor- ried over its mysterious disappear ance. Last Saturday Captain A. C. Taylor, former personnel adjutant of the regiment, made his appearance al the statehouse in Phoenix with the flag under his arm and the usual ex- pansive smile on his face.
 He explained that he had not been trying to make away with the flag but that when the regimental property was packed up prior to leaving France the flag had been taken from it's staff, folded up and placed in one of his desks for safe-keeping. Last week, while going through the desk he came upon it.
 The flag is now reposing safely in the office of Adjutant General Walter S. Ingalls,, where it will probably re- main until the reunion of the 158th in Phoenix during fair week. It is now planned to have it carried with the other standards of the regiment in the soldiers parade at the fair grounds.

INFLUENZA MAKES ITS
 RE-APPEARANCE AT YUMA

Turing the last four weeks repeat. ed warnings have been issued from the United States army officials and from the United States public health servi,e regarding the probability of a re-occurrence of the epidemic of in flueiza. A careful perusal of papers from other communities shows that in fluenza has already manifested itself il, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. Dr. Chas. H. Tindell now makes the statement that there are already three cases of influenza in or neir Yuma.
 i'he repeated warnings that have been issued must be taken seriously for unless the epidemic is checked right now we will be visited with a scourge that will take many lives and leave others in such a physical condi- tion as to be unable to resist attack of other disease germs. Upon the slightest symptoms doctor should be consulted and an effort made in this manner to check and exterminate the epidemic.

News of Interest Gathered Here and There in tue Stute
SORTER SORTING OUT
 STATE POSSIBILITIES


 The city of Casa Grande is Republi, can; but the precinct is Democratic So it is with surprise that one hears the report from the country tha! Dwight B. Heard, of Maricopa county would be the biggest bet of the peo. pie of Arizona for governor of this state. Both Republicans and Demo crats in this neck of the woods throw politics to the winds when it comes to real merit in a man who will give of his time to take county or state tffice.
 For some reason the people when talking politics, or figuring on who would make the best business head of the state, never thought of Heard as prospect. He is known as great worker, who has given of his time and money in support of public enterprises and has done more for the state than any one .man, but it must have been presumed that he would get his re- ward in Heaven, like any ordinary newspaper man. But now the people and that covers all political faiths and religions state that Dwight B. don't need the money, but some honor is due him. It appears from press re- ports that Governor Campbell will run for United States Senator.-The Casa Grande Bulletin.

INITIATIVE STARTED
 TO LOWER ARIZONA'S
 LEGAL INTEREST RATE

J. c. Adams, we'll known hotel man of Phoenix, has started an initiative movement to reduce the legal rate of interest from 10 per cent to 71s per cent. One of the reasons for the high cost of living in the Salt River Val ley, declares Adams, is the high rate of interest charged by local banks. Adams has sent out circular letter asking the views of a large number of business and professional men and office holders and office seekers that they endorse the movement.
 The letter charges that the Phoenix banks alone are collecting an inter est which aggregates $500, ,000.00 per annum. The interest rate is excess sive, it adds, and law should be en- acted by the citizens of the state that would save $200, ,000.00 year to citi- zens of Phoenix and vicinity alone. The prosperity of Phoenix should not be held back by unusual and excessive interest rates and banking laws should be drawn by the citizens and not by the bankers association of Arizona, he says.

HINDU COLONIES IN
 ARIZONA NOT POPULAR

A movement to prohibit the control of land in Arizona by Hindus was started at meeting of the Maricopa real estate board, the largest organ ization of its kind in the state.
 A small settlement of Hindus has recently been established near Chan dler, in Maricopa county, and the practice of allowing the settlement of these Asiatics here was universally condemned.
 A committee was appointed from the board to investigate the matter and make a report. Among suggestions made was that the governor be re- quested to make legislation to prohibit the sale or lease of land to Hindus 6 part of the call for special session of the legislature if special session should be called to ratify the suffrage amendment.

HERD OF $500 CATTLE
 SEIZED BY FEDERAL OFFICER

Alleging that the animals had been smuggled across the international boundary, Customs Inspector J. s. Kelly has seized $500 head of cattle at Silver Creek, near Douglas.
 The cattle are said by federal off, cers to be owned by c. S. Tyson and w. Buck.
 Federal authorities refuse to discuss the case other than to admit that the seizure has been made. They decline to state what proceedings the govern ment will take in the matter.
 A similar case has not been known on that section of the border, and cat tlemen are now speculating as to the possible outcome. The question pug zling some of them is whether the authorities think the cattle seized are portions of a herd driven lawfully across the border when grass was so very scarce last year, and added to a remnant" over there or whether a remnant" was driven from here and added to a herd in Mexico. In any event the federal officers say the case promises to be one of sensational nature.

WILEY JONES ON
 STATE ROAD FUND

At the meeting of the County Su- pervisors Association, Attorney Gen. eral Wiley E. Jones, in answer to in- quiries, stated that Paragraph 5124 ol the revised statutes of Arizona pro- vides that contracts for state highway work should be let by the state board of directors for the expenditure of the 25 per cent "state road tax fund.- pro vision, and by the boards of super visors for the expediture of the 75 per cent "state road tax fund" provision. Also that in all cases the advertise ment for bids must be made through a newspaper published in the county where the proposed state highway work is to be done, the bids to be direct to the board of directors, or the board of supervisors, and should be marked Estate Highway Contracts and that either board may reject any or all bids, and may proceed to con- struct said work under their own su- peIvision, without contract. Also that in case of contract, the successful bid der shall enter into such contract as may be prescribed by the board of directors, or the board of supervisors, a copy of which contract shall accom- pany the plans and specifications; and the successful bidder shall also file with the board of directors, or the board of supervisors, bond in the sum of not less than 25 per cent of the contract price of said work.
 Jones read said law to the meeting and also the federal aid law, explain ing that the above provisions of the state law applied to contracts for ex- penditure of all federal aid moneys set forth to meet the 25 per cent and the 75 per cent provisions of the state law.

MOVE TO AVERT A
 SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS

The shortage of teachers in Arizona has reached such alarming proportions that an attempt will be made to se- cure a quorum of the state board of education at once to take action on granting temporary certificates to all those qualified to teach, but who have not taken the examination.
 The meeting at which this matter will come up will be held at the state house in Phoenix.
 According to the state superintend- ent of public instruction, there are as many as fifteen vacancies for teachers in some of the counties. Temporary certificates were granted during the war when there was scarcity of teachers.

PLANS FOR CENSUS
 HAVE NOW BEEN LAID

Preliminary plans have been laid for the taking of the 1920 federal census of Arizona, and Supervisor Sam Bradner is preparing to make his selections for 300 canvassers who will assist him in collecting the census data for the seven counties of Mari copa, Mohave, Yavapai, Coconino, Ma vajo and Apache.
 Bradner, with Ray Leach, of Tue son, was named supervisor for Ari- zona on August 1. These appoint ments at the time raised storm of protest in American Legion circles, as it was hoped and believed that Carl Hayden as representative, and Sena- tor Ashurst would name former serv- ice men for these two posts.
