WHY STOCK BRANDS ARE PUBLISHED

The pictures of all the cows and horses" in The Sun have often caused comment and some wonder as to why The Sun prints them every week. It is rather unusual, but then The Sun is rather an unusual paper. For over thirty five years it has carried cattle and horse brands, more or less, and while stock owners advertise their brands in order that people may known who owns certain brands running at large on the range, this same page advertises this country as the greatest stock country in the Southwest. for if one of their animalsRhe dfe---- ?-anmz mn
 The stockmen advertise on business basis, for if one of their animals strays too far off it's usual range, it is picked up and if the brand is unknown, the animal is sold and the state gets the money; if it is known the owner gets the money.
 The customer can't understand why the stockmen do not keep their stock in pasture and drive them into the barn at night. It is difficult for them to conceive of an owner round ing up his cattle for hundred miles around and the different owners "represent"-as the cow punchers call it-have man to cut out their stock and see that calves are branded in the right brand Aside from the fact that stock buyers scan this page closely when looking for stock, it has saved thousands of dollars for the owners.
 It is one of the distinctive stunts of The Sun, and the honest stockman who is playing the game square wants the public to know what his brands are.

The latest piece of political gossip which has filtered through from sources which seem to have inside dope is that Col. Power Conway may have the support of c. w. P. Hunt for the nomi- nation in case Hunt does not conclude to run for the place himself. It would be strong com bination so far as the nomination on the Dem ocratic ticket is concerned. It is strongly in- timated and born out by many incidental hap penings, that there are no especially strained relations between Dwight B. Heard of Phoenix and Governor Campbell, and that they will join forces in the next campaign for the purpose of boosting Campbell to the United States senate, and electing Dwight B. to the governorship, This last would be strong combination for both men are particularly strong this year, and 1t is understood that this combination would elimi- nate contest for the senatorship and for the gubenatorial chair all at the same time. Heard is owner of the Arizona Republican, identified with all the large stock and ranch interests in the state and would undoubtedly be in a position to make the combination strong one from that point of view.

When the country is Gin great danger the government press agents swamp the country newspapers with stuff that will sure relieve the terrible situation-all of which is to be printed without cost to the government as news" But when there is any pay advertising which the press agents of the departments want sent out to select few, they send it to the big magazines and dailies. Then the question is: What's the use of paying the country suckers; they will kick in politically any old time with few kind words as to their great value to the community The big city fellers need the money and you can't make 'em come through unless they know they are going to get theirs"

President Wilson's solution of the high cost of living problem is, of course, more power for himself. Congress has been gradually surren- dering into the hands of the president all gov emmental power, and steadily the cost of living has mounted. President Wilson wants the same power over other commodities that he has over food. Will he promise the country as much vigor and success on his part in reducing the prices of other commodities as he showed, under the Lever act, in preventing and punishing food profteering?
The Coconino sun., 1919-08-29

President Wilson's plans for reducing the high cost of living are: Ram through the league of nations covenant regardless of what is in it i; vote more money for the various publicity bu- reaus of the administration; give the president more power; and feed Europe.

fighting service to make room for
regulars, Representative Gallivan of
Massachusetts,, Democrat, read let
ter signed by 40 wounded officers say

that medical officers had been order
ed to report as unfit officers who
might replace the regulars first as
signed for duty.
Referring to Major Gen. Leonard
Wood, the letter read by the Massa-
chusetts representative said:
when General Wood visited the
front he was treated more like Ger
man spy than an officer OF the United
States. We have the word of several
colonies that knew him well for this.
He was ordered back from his visit
here without being allowed to visit
the italian front or returning through
England, as he was invited to do by
Lloyd George.
General Wood was the idol Of the
army, officers and men alike, and was
one Of the most efficient officers, yet
he was kept in a corner all the time,

GREAT BODY OF MISSING MEN
WHOLLY UNAccouNTED FOR

TOTAL DEATH ROLL, 40,70s
Late Statement Shows Only Taersy-
Nine American Prisoners Remain
In German Hands.

Washington Official tables OF the
major battle casualties Of the Amer

tai is 56,5S2 Of whom 17,434 are CLASH
fiedd as missing or captured. An APP
pended statement shows that only 20
American military prisoners were be-
lieved to be still in Germany on Janu'

been checked up as returned end
118 died in captivity.
Some portion of the great body Of
