 "Thcre appears to be a 'cci or we'll defined understanding as to the re- sponsibility for the care and cduca- ton of certain classes or natives Or the part of the territory. In several instances the United States diStr,cs judge for this district, who is cus- todfan of the indigcnt fund, has re

POSTMASTERS GIVE UP
 TO MAKE PARTY SAFE

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 2S.-- That postmasters throughout the coun. try are subjected by the administra. tion to the payment of part of theii salaries to the support of the Demo- cratic party is indicated by testimony of Colin H. Self, in charge of the post office at St. Louis, before the coneres. sional joint postal salary commission
 When questioned by Representative Halvor Steenerson, chairman of the house committee >on post offices and post roads, Self admitted that he had been compelled to pay $500 out of his annual salary of $8,000, and that his money had gone to help elect three Democratic members of Congress. He asked that his salary be increased to $12,00O in order to meet the high cost of living and the importance of the office. Steenerson asked him if he would then be called upon to increase his contribution to the party fund, but no reply was forthcoming.
 Postmaster Porter, of Wayne. Pa. who asked for a raise from S2. 400 to 3,200 in his salary, testified that he had contributed $50 each year to the Democratic success.
 With postmasters in the important cities helping to make the country safe for the Democratic party, the Republican leaders of Congress are putting through the bill for an in- crease of the pay of the general pos tai employees. The meaSlre has ROW passed the House and Senate and is in conference between the two houses. Postmasters at offices of the third class, assistant postmasters and clerks, including special clerks, finance clerks, bookkeepers and other en- ployees of offices of the first and sec ond class, letter carriers in the city delivery service, carriers in the vil- lage delivery service, supervisory of >ficials, railway postal clerks and post masters of the fourth class are includ- ed in the increase.
 Those named who receive $1 1000 or less are to get $240 more; those who receive SLIGO or $1.200 are to get S200 more; those who now have $1, 300. $1.400, $1 800, or $1 500, are to get $150 more; while those who now receive not less than $1,700 nor more than $2,500 are to be increased $100 per annum. Printers, mechanics and skilled laborers who receive com pensation al the rate of $1.1b0 are to be increased $50; those who receive $1s260 are to get $135 more; and those who get $1.380 are to have $70 more. Postmasters at offices of the fourth class will receive increases at the rate of 15 per cent of their annual sala- ries. In addition, they will be allowed $50 per quarter for rent. fuel and light. The pay will be from July |, 1919.

VISITORS TO STATE
 FAIR ASSURED ROOMS

Visitors to the state faih will be as- sured homelike welcome at Phoenix during fair week, November 8 to 8, in- elusive, by virtue of arrangements which have been entered into by the Phoenix chamber of commerce and the Various lodge organizations of this city.
 At meeting of the secretaries rep resenting all Phoenix lodges held in Phoenix last week it was definitely de- cided that each organization would look after members of. their respec- tive orders and their families during fair week.
 Hotel accommodations will be lim- tied, but this need not interfere with any one planning to attend the fair. Any member of any lodge intending to visit the fair should write iimme- diately to the secretary of the Phoenix lodge of his order, stating the num- Der of accommodations desired, and the secretary will immediately find such accommodations in the home of some lodge member. In this way hundreds of homes will be open to accommodation of fair visitors which otherwise would have remained closed
 All lodge members in Phoenix have been notified of the plans and are now thoroughly cooperating by listiiG their homes with the various secre- taries.
 For the special accommodation of single visitors the lodges are also CO., operating with the chamber of com merce in the placing of large num- Der of extra cots in their lodge halls. A total of $50 cots in addition to a supply already on hand will be sdis- tributed to the Y. M. c. A., Y. w. C A., and the lodges, thereby providing extra accommodations for women as well as men.

EVER GET THIS VIEWPOINT

Citizens of Arizona, support your town or county paper if 1t is decent regardless of politics or religion. Not merely because it is entitled to share in the recognition of all home insti- tutions, but because 1t means a lot to you personally, though most of you win deny it.
 Suppose the editor isn't up to your own mental calibre. He is doing his best and probably giving more than the town pays for (and dollars to doughnuts he .has more brains than most of his critics). Suppose you do know most of the town gossip before it is printed. Readers elsewhere are not so fortunate and the town is often judged by the appearance of it's news paper. If you have no newspaper your town has not arrived, and unless you get one it never will arrive.
 You take dailies and magazines as you should do, and have no time fo. local small-town trash, But just once a year there is a wedding, funeral, or event of some sort, either in the fam fly or outside of it, that you would be mighty glad to see preserved in print anu pay tWo UT HIee uoHdIS IoI tne privilege.
 Once in a while matter of public concern arises that affects your very pocketbook much more than the price of subscription. A word to your neighbors might save the day, but no paper, no chance. Had you glanced at the special drive in the bum ad of Cash & Co. in last weeks issue you could have saved the subscription price; but, thinking you knew all that was going on, you missed it. You saw by the paper that Jones was go- ing to realign his affairs. It was only a "hunch," but you made hundred dollars by selling him something or buying something of him. Never thought about giving the paper credit.
 It will pay you to take your home paper and throw it little business, even if you never read it.--Arizona

RAVAGES OF WAR CLAIM
 ONE-FIFTH OF SERB PEOPLES

BELGRADE, Serbia, Oct. '22.--One- fifth of the population of Serbia, or about 800,000 persons, perished from all causes during the war. Typhus alone claimed about 300,000 of these. No figures have yet been furnished by the Serbian war department as to the number of deaths in the army.
 It is known that the total number of men mobilized was 100000. Of this number 100000 were combatant troops and 100000 were used in the various auxiliary services.

WHAT TO DO WITH GENERALS
 IS PUZZLE IN BRITISH ARMY

LONDON, Oct. 22.--What Britain shall do with it's general army off, cers is one of the big questions of the day. To the present no one has heen able to answer it, although many of them are idle and costing the country pretty penny.
 On the list are eight full generals, 27 lieutenant generals, 122 major generals, and 48S brigadier generals, all on full pay. On half pay there are 8 generals, 25 lieutenant generals, and 49 major generals.
 These officers have not been inform ed whether their services will be re- quired in the future small army which is taking the place of the vast or ganization now in process of disinte- grafton, and many of them are anx- iously awaiting some announcement in order that they may form their plans for the future. A great number are comparatively young men.
