FROM BUCK
PRIVATE TO MAJOR
in ONE YEAR
Mrs. Maude Radford Warren
has Record for Rapid
Promotion

From buck private, in May, 1918, to
major in November of the same year
is a record for rapid promotion in the
American expeditionary forces, rec
ord that is held by a woman-Mrs.
Maude Radford Warren, the popular
writer of magazine articles and stor-
les.
The boys of the 117th Field Signal
Corps of the Forty-second Division
know that the foregoing statement is
true. There was no sign of mutiny
among them that day at Ahrweiler
a1tel the armistice was signed when
the battalion was presented" to Mrs.
Warren by Colonel Ruby D. Garrett,
following "a speech which she said en-
barrassed her greatly and left her in
a state of confusion not at all military
as she ended.
"Men, your new major! Obey her
in all her commands"
81 am sure" said Mrs. Warren, on
her return to America, "that those
boys loved and honored me prior to
that day on the River Abr. The COL
onel, not l, put obey in the cere-
mony."
1t was in Alsace that Mrs. Warren
received her first promotion and be-
came an humble corporal She had
been sent to Belfort by the Y. M. c.
A. to join the lone "Y" women work
err in that so-called quiet sector. Be-
ing in a quiet sector was not Mrs.
Warren's idea of the errand for which
she had gone overseas and when she
learned that three camionettes or
"chuck wagons" were going into the
front lines she inquired which was
going nearest to the German lines.
When the camionettes left Belfort
Mrs. Warren was on the one that had
the longest trip ahead.
"When we reached point two and
half miles from the front line" Mrs.
Warren continued, eve met lieuten-
ant who wanted to buy all our sup
plies for his company. We knew,
however, that there were two COM
panies in the trenches which had had

Natures Law Of
Retrenchment

The newspapers carried state
ment the other day to the effect that
thousands of fish were dying in Like
Erie. One report was to the effect
that they were floating in such num-
bers as to make the air foul for miles
around the lake; but we have seen
nothing further upon the subject, and
the dispatches did not say what kind
of fish were dying or whether there
were more than one variety.
But there isn't anything unusual
about it. Epidemics break out among
the fish, and even among the wild
birds and animals of the fields and for
ests. 1t seems, in fact, that all Great
ed things are subject to epidemics;
certainly it has been the case since
man began making records.
A few years ago the rabbits in
Pennsylvania died to such an extent
that the state had to import thousands
of the Dummies and turn them loose to
prevent the species becoming extinct
in the state. Persons living in the
region of lakes will tell you that diff

no "Y" supplies for more than two
weeks and had been reduced to smok-
ing coffee as a substitute for the de-
sired weed. The 'Y' truck driver,
clergyman, and l stated the case to
the lieutenant, and right there he
showed that he was a regular Ameri-
can. He assigned five of his men to
help US get our supplies to those fell
lows in the trenches.
"We started with as much stuff as
we could carry, and how they did pro-
test when l lifted bundle weighing
forty pounds to my shoulder and pre-
pared to go. They insisted that was
undertaking too much, but just told
them that knew my capacity, having
made as feature of my training for
Y. M. c. A. service the carrying of my
godsons up and down stairs and
around the grounds of their American
home. One of them weighs forty
eight pounds and the other fifty-two.
l convinced the Y men and the soldiers
that forty pounds was not too great a
burden.
At st. Mihiel Mrs. Warren was
made first lieutenant for faithful SER
vice in the first aid stations. At Ar
gonne she was made major, and was
at the Mouse when the armistice was
signed. From there she went into
Germany with other ".Y" workers who
marched with the vanguard of the
Army of Occupation.

ferent species of hshes have been
known to succumb in numbers from
various diseases. The trappers and

as to claim that the real origin of war
is to be found in natures way of keep

the race can live. Certainly it is true
that the wars of the world have held

boxer and Jack Douglas, the Cal

ceeded in gaining a Knockout,
Burns shaded Douglas,just lit-
tie, but not. enough to gain de-
cision. Referee Lawrence called
the fight a draw, which seemed to
accord with the opinion of the
crowd in attendance.
1t was a contest full of vim and
action, Burns carrying the fight to
his opponent at all stages.
In the preliminary bout Mickey
Riley was given a technical decis-
ion for a knockout over Kid
Rawson, the latter quitting the
game before the four rounds were

Successful Dry Farming

Those who have absorbed the
idea that . dry" or non irrigation
farming is an unproductive propo-
sition in this locality would have
reason for a reversal of opinion to
considerable extent after seeing
the crops glowing on the farm of
w. F. Harsh, about a mile and a
half out, to the northwest. With
out artificial methods of supplying
moisture his fields show a variety
of grain and forage crops that it
would challenge an irrigated farm
to excel. Corn, milo maize, fet-
erita, amber cane and other crops
are growing vigorously and will
soon be ready for harvest. A field
of dwarf milo was particularly no
ticeab1e, with uniformity of height
large heads and altogether healthy
looking. The amber cane also shows
up we'll. Twenty three stalks were
counted growing from single
plant-root of this variety of sor-
ghum cane, mostly with good
heads of grain.
This seasons unusually large
rainfall has been a good thing, of
course, for dry farmers and in this
instance has been used to the best
adVan tage.

Burning Money

| Life is gay and blithe and sunny

every one is burning money just as
though it grew on trees. | insist
on thrift and saving, but there's
none to heed my words; johnnies
say that [ am raving, and throw
money to the birds. Men are draw
ing prince1y wages, and their
breasts are filled with mirth, and
they jeer foreboding sages who
predict day of deart1; but that
! day will come as surely as tomor-
row sun will rise: things will then
| be going poorly with the giddy
spendthrift guys. Things won't
boom along forever as they re
booming now, my friends; and the
man who's truly clever saves as
ably as he spends. 1t is patent to
the know ing, in expansive times
like these, that the copecks won't
be growing always on the shrubs
and tr ees. There will come a day
of trouble, when this boom is left
behind, and the kopeck and the
ro11h1e will he mighty hard to find:
happy then the lads whose wages
have been safely placed in brine,
who obeyed the seers and sages
when the saving graft was fine.
And how sick will be the mortals
who like spendthrifts now behave,
who reply with jeers and chortles
when we call on them to save.

Sensational Turn in
Deportation Case
Counsel of Ex-sheriff Wheeler
Refuse to Have Discharge

Douglas, Ariz., Sept. 18.-The
preliminary hearings in the Bisbee
deportation cases are gradually
nearing a close. By far the most
important development since the
prosecutions were started several
months ago was the case of Harry
C. Wheeler, who was sheriff of Co.
chise county at the time of the de-
portation on July IL, 1917. His
case was called before Justice w.
C. Jack here Monday afternoon.
AS soon as court was opened Judge
w. c.. Gilmore, of Tombstone, one
of Wheeler S legal counsel, stated
to the court that Wheeler waived
preliminary examination and re-
quested to be bound over for trial
upon the kidnapping charge filed
~~ragainst him.
The County Attorney, Robert
n. French, who is conducting the
prosecution, stated that he had in
tended to dismiss the case against
-The case against Wheeler Oh the
grounds that there was mo testi-
mony to show that the sheriff had
anything to do with the deporta-
tions, in spite of the fact openly
admitted by the former sheriff that
he assumed all responsibility for
the affair.
Wheeler attorney refused to let
the matter be dropped in the JUS
tice court, at the suggestion of Mr..
French, and stated that they did
not deny that Wheeler was in the
Warren District and discharging
his duties as sheriff during the de-
portations. They insisted for the
former sheriff that his case be car
ried to the superior court and set
tied there. Wheeler was then bound
over, when the county attorney Of
fered no further objections.
The county attorneys attempt to
dismiss the case on the ground that
there was no evidence against Sher-
iff Wheeler aroused much anuse-
ment in court, as many Of the
state witnesses in previous cases
had testified to the part Wheeler
played in the deportations. And
after Wheeler was bound over Mon
day the first witness called in the
case of John J. Bowen, which fol
Y lowed, testified that Wheeler had
taken him by the arm, placed him
in the line of deported men at the
Bisbee depot, and refused to allow
him released until several hours
= later
Although the testimony against
Bowen did not seem to be of any
