Chairman Hays Of the republican
national committee has decided to re-
main on the job. His party's nomina-
tion for Governor Of Indiana did not
tempt him. He and his party are to
be congratulated On the decision.
The party benefits, because it needs
the services Of an alert and competent
man in the place to which ID has called
him. It took him on trust, and in o
very short time he justified its choice
and confidence. He found the party
torn With dissensions, and his efforts
were at eaee directed toward union
and teamwork. The result at the polls
last November was largely the result
Of his intelligent activities.
He is now thoroughly familiar with
the whole @lay Of the land, He has
travelled from coast to coast. and met
all the partys local leaders. He knows
conditions everywhere, and how to act
with regard to them. A greater cam
paign than that Of last year has al
ready opened, and during the coming
fifteen months will need the most ex-
perienced direction. On every account,

GOVERNMENT OFFICE
PREPARES To SELL
YUMA CITRUS LAND

Uncle Sam will auction a vast acre
age of citrus land in Yuma valley on
December 10, Scott White, receiver of
the United States land office, leaving
this evening for Yuma to prepare for
the sale He will be assisted in knock
ing down the 500 farm units to the
highest bidder by S. D. Poole, chief
clerk of the land office, who is already
in Yuma looking over the situation.
With water rights to go with each
farm, the soil extremely fertile, the
climate salubrious, it is expected that
there will be lively bidding for those
properties.
The land has been subdivided into 8.
10 and 20-acre units, and not more
than 40 acres will be sold to an indi-
yidual.
Mr.. White stated yesterday that the
government would not accept a bid Of
less than $225 AN acre for these farms
which price includes water. OF this
minimum price, 10 per cent must &C
company the bid and will be returned
if the bid is rejected. Fifteen per cent
must be paid within 60 days after the
acceptance of a bid, and the balance in
three equal annual installments. There
are no restrictions as to residence of
purchasers on the farms they buy The
region the government land occupies is
practically free from frost, it is
claimed. The climate there has the
smallest rainfall, the lowest relative
humidity and the gratest percentage of
sunshine Of any of the citrus districts
of the country, according to the gov
eminent.
| In addition to several unsurpassed
varieties of orange, grapefruit and
lemons, which it is said do surprising
ly well in similar soil, these lands are
declared to be adapted to numerous
other fruits, such as dates, olives
grapes and figs. Truck crops, includ-
ing cantaloupes, tomatoes and sweet
potatoes, may be grown between rows
of citrus fruit trees in young orchards
Early growing season and good railroad
facilities give the section superior mar
ket advantages, says Uncle Sam, anc
