- THE PORT OF ADVENTURE

(Norman Springer in the San Fran
 cisco Bulletin)
 There are men walking the streets of San Francisco who remember the days when the clippers those marvels of Yankee ship construction, came tear ing into port from the Cape Horn pass age with records smashed, with sheets padlocked and mast sprung, with cas- ualty lists of dimensions, with iron willed autocrats and their bucko mates engaging in battles royal with crews of desperate men fed up with reckless sailing, and belaying pin soup and mu- tinous. They remember the days when the great wheat fleet rendezvoused here yearly, filled sailor town with life and strife. and departed, Europe bound. with the harvest of the valley. They saw the birth, and growth, and bloom, and decay of crimpdom; they knew the boarding master when he was a force in the community, a man with gold seals upon his waistcoat and a voice of authority; man whom politicians placated and judges listened to; a man who held in his fighting fist the des- tiny of countless sailormen, and who wantonly used his fist; a man whose power and influence extended the world over, for no ship might enter or leave this port without paying toll to the crimp.
 San Francisco has produced many famous men of various sorts, men who sealed high the peaks of respectable success and whose names became fa- miliar to a nation. But no jurist, or statesman, or writer, or merchant from our town ever gained 2 tithe of the re nown attained by these old time lordly bullies of our waterfront. The Chick en. the Knitting Swede, Shanghai Brown-these names, and others, are written indeliby upon the waters of the world: they are spoken in Stockholm and Hongkong; they are the heroes of the dog watch; they are legendary Tn every foc'sle afloat. Brutal. blood stained heroes, mostly; men of vain and subtle tricks, who made their own law. and feared not God, nor man, nor devil, artists in rascality-not the sort of heroes to parade before a Sunday school class; not the sort of fame to impress young ladies seminary. But a real fame, none the less; world wide and enduring. already folk lore in a dozen tongues.

MAGE IS VERY ANCIENT
lPittsburg Dispatehl


 The hall of the house of representa- tives, at Washington, is one of the largest in the United States, as well as one of the most beautiful in the elab- orateness of it's decoration and orna- mentation. It also contains many in- teresting and historic objects.
 On the right of the speakers desk. near the south wall, there stands a pedestal of highly polished mottled- green marble about three feet in height, the purpose of which is often the source of much wonder on the part of visitors, when the house IS not in session.
 When the speakers gavel falls, call ing the house to order. the sergeant-at arms, or one of his deputies, enters the room very solemnly and places upos this marble pedestal the historic mace the ancient emblsm of authority of the United States house of representatives When the house adjourns he just as solemnly lifts the mace from it's rest.

 with the most jealous care.
 | The mace is of most ancient and hon orable lineage, whose origin dates bacl before the time of Christ. Under tn, 1 old Roman law it was the custom o
 the magistrates to pass from place tt

 These magistrates were always accom- | panied by small body of men, knowl as lictors. whose duty it was to keel the way clear, preserve order and in

All THOR|TY FUR ORGANIZING NEW GUARD RECEIVED

Authority of the reorganization of the national guard of Arizona has been -nc-'v@9 by Adiutant General Walter S. Ingalls,, in a letter received yester- .,y l. o4.i the chief of the military bu- reau. J. Mel. Carter major general oi the United States army.
 Under the new plan, the state na- tional guard will no longer consist of regiment of infantry, but of a squad ron of cavalry and a battalion of light artillery, equipped with 75-mm. guns. Horses and full equipment will be fur nished by the United States govern ment for use of the national guard.
 But one town in the state has asked for a quota of the new guard. Capt. E. NJ. Robison. who distinguished nim self in action in France, and who orig inally commanded the infantry com pany from Flagstaff, has requested permission to organize a battery of artillery there. It is probable that his request will be granted

GOVERNOR DOES NUT FAVOR b|G STANDING ARMY

Governor Thomas F. Campbell is not in favor of a huge standing army. according to a statement issued by him yesterday. Rather he favors the Ma uonal Service Act as introduced in congress by Julius Kahn of California.
 The following statement was issued yesterday by the governor in refer ence to the two plans now being con sidered:
 The National Service Act. intro- duced by Representative Julius Kahn Of the house of representatives and by senator Chamberlain in the T.. S. sen ate, meets with my appreciation. Per snnally. l do not believe it is necessary to have large standing army with a system of universal military training and for this reason l prefer the Kahn To the administration bill. which the secretary of war has caused to be in troduced and which provides for a vol unteer army of over half a million men.
 Aside from the difficulty of obtain ing recruits for such a large standing army the cost would be enormous-ir the neighborhood of approximately a billion dollars year. On the other hand, the National Service Act con  templates the smallest regular army that win fulfill the functions that car not be performed by a reserve force.
 The administration bill provides fol three months training of the youth O. the country, but does not attempt tC organize them territorially; that is, ac. cording to their place of residence into reserve Without such a reserve tn, military value of the training would be thrown away, because no militar, organization is created than can b, mobilized in time of war.
 Under the administration bill tn,
 young men trained are turned loose and in time of war would have to b, drafted and fed into the regular arm! Co increase its strength, should tn regular army provide an insufficient number of men, as it doubtless woult

DAIRY TALKS
Now Is the time to lay in a supply of feed for the dairy herd Make plans for next

year so that rations for milk cows shall be well balanced.

The tendency of families in so we'll adapted climate for dairying as Arizona is, to allow the cows to graZe the entire year if possible his IS big mistake according to the best dalryIng authorities Land Is too valuable to use as pasture alone, especially if planted to Bermuda grass. In fact it is strongly urged that Bermuda pasture be plowed up and the land utilized for something else All such acreage planted to slage or other forage crops will produce much better ration and so much more of it that it is rank extrava- gance to pasture. Where cows are pastured they require some auxiliary feeding in order that they may produce butter fat, and one of the best feeds IS ration of cotton seed meal or cake. Last year it was impossible for dairynen to secure this but we are assured by the Arizona Egyptian Cotton Co., that they will be able to furnish 36 protein cotton seed meal at $57 per ton and cotton seed cake of 36 protein content at $56 per ton and the hulls at SlO per ton. These prices at the mill and are much under the prices quoted dairy men in California for the same products.
 Oftentin1es small ration of meal will bring the cream test up to most satisfactory figure while the volume will remain the same.
 Dairymen who resort to the Babcock tester to prove the butter fat production of their herds can easily determine whether or not their cows being properly rationed.
 In any case where advice or assistance is required we shal be glad to place one or more of our dairy experts at the disposal of any farmer. The services of our experts are free.
 Our farm experts practical men who KNOW BY DOING" just how best to care for stock and arrange crops, buildings and all other farm matters. They will be glad to assist any farmer or dairyman free of charge. Call, write or phone.

GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN

No maelstrum Of human hatred
and carnal ferocity has ever en-
gulfed them; they have lived, while
every mortal hope, ambition, pro
jCct, achievement has Haunted its
bubble-iIridescence and, brusting,
vanished into empty nothingness.
Weep not for me Ny
words shall not pass away
Wen may humanity weep for
itself, but not for Jesus or His
message. This war will end with
its resultant turmoil. Nations will
gather themselves up amid the
wreckage; humanity will stand
appalled, at the awful havoc
that has been wrought by greed,
hatred, revenge and fear, mount
ing to full sway in the minds Of
potentates and peoples.
The world will cease to follow
the kings who covet other king

disavow His teachings. Their re
buke of Him is the more sinful
because while they deny Him

carnage and murder among His
patient people.

Goodness makes the world happy,

good who dares bear the inspection

TO cast out every leader of men
whose goodness is not more than

Religion has not failed. 1t will

The world will pity them, for

FALLAC|OUS DOCTRINES

The cotton spinners in a conference
ut Zurich Switzerland, once recon.
meuded that the price Of cotton should
be cut. They suggested this as
means for stimulating cotton produc-
tion. This was but few years ago.
Their argument was simple.
The cotton farmer is a simple, lazy
soul. They argued. If he gets enough
money for ten bales to support him
with the necessities of life, he will
| grow but ten bales. If the price is
cut in half, he will produce twenty
bales because he must have that NUM-
be" to get enough money to merely live.
ne argument is fallacious. They
| sought TO make the cost of living a
mathematical variable, disregarding the
| fact that the point might be reached
| where the farmer could produce nc
more and would starve.
More than that the cotton farmer
is not lazy. lie is not shiftless. He
| is merely in many cases, hopeless. His
children begin to drag the cotton sack
before they are five years old Many
of the babes are weakened by the pre-
natal influence Of an oyerworked and
underfed mother.
Such heartless philosophy has at last
sped before the winds Of a great need
for cotton. The crop is short The
world must have cotton.
The manufacturers could pay one
dollar a pound and still make money
at the prices at which they are nov
selling.
Farmers must organize for their OWL
protection. The American Cotton As
sociation is the realization Of an ideal

USE YOUR BRAINS WHEN

IN THE OIL INDUSTRY
(Wichita Oil Reporter

No other business in the world offers
such unlimited opportunities for the
legitimate accumulation of wealth as
the American oil industry.
No other business in the world has
so continuously and so certainly re-
turned enormous profits to investors,
and no other business in the world has
ever assembled for and widely distrib-
uted among its supporters so many
great fortunes.
No other business in the world exists
that having accomplished such mar

the same wonderful opportunities for
the discerning investor

in the world today. It's possibilities

facts which lie before the interested
Thousands of fortunes have been
made by men and women with little
capital, and some faith, and so com
monplace has become the story of rich
strikes and the good fortune which has

Il ripple of interest.
The trouble with too many people
is that they are not only unwilling TO
grasp opportunity as it hurries by, but
expect her TO stop and knock them
down and force some great benefit up
on them. 1t is never done that way
for only the discerning are ever able to
see far enough into the future to take
the chance. But the fact is that the
avenue is crowded with the limousines
of those who did have such discern

to the foot-path.
When an investment in oil or in any

to settle the question, 1t is your
money that is TO be invested, so why

and legitimate and has a good chance

"FRAUD, CONSPIRACY,
CORRUPTION!"

F'rom Democratic Publicity Bureau
with the help of Senator Newberry's
vote the republican senators Of the
Sixty-sixth congress organized the sen.
ate, selected the chairman and ma
jority of the members of all commit
tees, controlled and directed the course
of legislation and forced the rejection
of the treaty Of peace and the League
Of Nations.
The methods by which Senator New.
berry was chosen q senator from Michi-
gan and a member Of the senate's re
publican majority are to be determined
by criminal prosecutions which have
already been initiated by the indict-
ment of 1874 persons-including Senator
Newberry himself. In support Of these
indictments there has been submitted
evidence Of fraud, conspiracy, corrup.
ton and debauchery without precedent
in American history. 1t is alleged that
not less than 100000 and perhaps
even 81 600 900 was paid for this crime
against the ballot.
| At the beginning Of the special ses'
sion Of congress-when the republican
majority in the senate was packing
committees and preparing to defeat
the treaty and the League of Nations
there was a general demand that the
senate investigate the charges lodged
against the managers Of Senator New
/ berry's campaign. There was even
then warrant for action that would
either vindicate Senator Newberry and
the senate, or punish the corruptionists
and purge the senate. 1t was admit
ted under oath by AR. Newberry's
managers that they had disbursed in
his behalf Sl76,5S6, in contravention
of the laws Of Michigan and the fed
eral statutes.
But the republican members of the
United States senate made no response
