the cottonseed meal consumed, but

uSanship IN administration.
1t is being freely whispered in
political circles here that at the
Okalona meeting. Lieut.. Johnston
will present a new array of facts
concerning the abuse of the pardon
ing power and bad administrative
work of the State Board of Equali-
cation in fixing property values, and
that charges of serious character
will be preferred. This adds greatly
to the interest of the coming meet
ing, and will no doubt serve to aug
ment the crowd.
II is also rumored tnat Lieut..
Johnston will attack Ru5setl for his
lack of activity during the wal pc
riod-his failure to pacific pate In
any of the drives or pat"i"t.c move
ments in behalf of the government,
tending to show that at heart he

LOOK AT THIS.

The Dispatch, through its staff of
country correspondents. carries each
week the news from this whole sec
ton. The past week we had let
ters from Caledonia, Steens, Mill
port, Fernbank, Melbourne, Me-
Crazy, Liberty, woodlawn, New
Hope, Artesia, Crawford, and in fact
from the, entire trade territory in
which The Dispatch circulates.
What does this mean? Simply
that The Dispatch is the home paper
for all of this section; that all of
these people read it twice a week
for their home news; that they re-
gard Columbus as their home mar
ket and do their trading here and
that they are watching the paper
regularly each week fort not only
the news but for the offerings in
every line.
We are increasing our subscrip-
ton lists right along. Two papers

papers charge for one--in advance

BOYS ARE ACQUITTED.
Charged With Robbery of AutOmO-
bile Are Acquitted--Brought
Car to Columbus.

The four young men who were
charged with the robbery of an au-
tomobile in Birmingham some weeks
ago and who brought the car to
this city. were acquitted of the rob-
berry charge in Birmingham Wednes-
day.
The Young men are Mr.. Matthew
Mcdowell and Mr.. ormond Moore,
of this city; Mr.. Boyd Funderburk
of Birmingham, and Mr.. Frank Da-
Wis, of Reform, Ala.
After their acauittal on the
charge of robbery a charge of as
sault was lodged against them and
they were released on $500 bond.
Mr.. f. F. Galloway, of this city
represented the four boys in the
criminal court OF Birmingham. He
showed by testimony that the car
did not pass from the possession OF
the owner or his agent, and that IL
was not the inetntion of the four
defendants to take he car perms-
nently from the possession OF the
owner.
These are premises that must be
established under the Alabama Law
TO sustain the charge of robbery,
which in that state is capital Of

GOOD PROGRESS ON
 WMS.-CLARKDALE ROAD

The party of engineers under Assistant State Engineer Par ker report good progress with the survey south of town. They expect to reach Pine Flats shortly and that far out the survey will then be permanent. From Pine Flats two prelimin- ary surveys will be run to deter mine which route shall be fol lowed from that point.
 It is expected that the gang of state workers now occupied with the Prescott-Clarkdale road will be moved to the Will. iams-Clarkdale road as soon as they finish with their present job. This will probably be at some time in the fall. They will then begin work from Clark dale north spending the winter on the lower part of the road and coming up over the rim with the approach of another summer.
 State E ngineer Maddock passed through Williams the first of this week and inspected the work done by the survey ors. He found the work satis- factory and was delighted with the prospect of an excellent road to connect Williams with the southland.

Early Indian Agriculture.

When the white men first arrived in this country they found an aboriginal population mainly sedentary and agri- cultural. The Indians were mostly farmers, peacefully disposed and dwell- ing in villages. Predatory and unscrupu- lous, after the manner of his kind, the intruding Caucasian drove them to war and forced them to adopt rowing and unsettled mode of existence.
 Corn was their principal crop-a ce- real unknown to Europe. How eX- tensively they grew it may be judged from the fact that in 1885 the British destroyed 12,OOO acres of maize plant ed by the Senecas.
 The Indians of pre-Columbian days pursued agriculture on a cooperative plan. Large fields of corn were made up of hundreds of individual fields. The squaws stirred the fruitful earth and planted the grain. At harvest time the men and boys helped to gath CT the ripe ears.

 'I still have unpleasant mem= ories of the difficulty we exper fenced during the war;" he writes, "of the loss of time, the confusion owing to different systems of weights and mea- sures used by various allies. We lost more time in translatin@ specifications, and mere errors were caused on this account than by anything else.'
 The World Trade Club is re- ceiving similar testimony fornE a great many persons who had experience with the difficulty caused by our present weights during the war.

SOCIAL INSURANCE

Abstract from paper read by John A. Lapp at the Eff teenth Annual Meeting of the National Tuberculosis Associa- tion held at Atlantic City June IA, 16 and 17.)
 There can be no solution of the problem of tuberculosis among working men and wo- men without health insurance. Working people cannot stop work long enough to take pro- per treatment because the great majority are living only a few days or weeks away from actual want. Therefore some means to enable people to stop work and to receive adeuuate medical treatment must be de- vised.
 There are only two possible ways to do it one through health insurance, and the other charity and of these two health insurance is the Independent, self-respecting solution of the problem. Under an adequate system a man can provide for himself through cooperation with his fellow men; he is en- titled to cash benefits and ade- quate medical care if he han, pens to be the one who suffer- a disability.
 One of the most serious bur dens which health insurance would have to carry is tuber- culosls. Long disabilities are the result of this disease. and 2 large percentage of those who are stricken are, under present conditions. driven into actuaI poverty A proper plan of health insurance for the tuber- culosis should provide for nav ments without limitations as to time, and should provide for complete medical and sanator- lum treatment as long as the patient requires it.

War Orphans of France Dy-
 ing from Malnutrition--Shock

The children of France have not yet emerged from the shad- ow of the war. With peace as sured, and a happier future op- ening before them, it becomes increasingly evident that the child life of France has suffer- ed a shock from which it is diff fcult to rally; while the birth rate has dropped to 8 to each 1000 population.
 The Fatherless Children of France, an American Organi- zation cooperating with a sim liar one in Paris of which Mar shal Joffre is the head, reports that of the children receiving American aid to the extent of 10 cents a day under it's plan of securing American godmoth- res for the little French war waifs, it's record shows an aver age of 700 children's deaths per month since the armlstlce. The help of the American god mothers came too late to save these undernourished nerve shocked little ones.
 Mrs. Walter S.Brewster of Chicago, vice-chairman of the Fatherless children of France. has been appointed chairman of a campaign to secure Amer ican aid for the 60,OOO little war orphans whose names were on the lists of the organization as unadopted before the sign ing of the Armistice. Ten cents will care for a child for an ent tire day; $500 for a month; while for $36.5O a year the don- or may select child from the lists at the organizations head quarters and be placed in cor respondence with it. To adopt child or make a donation write for information to Mrs. Walter s. Brewster, Room 634, 40 s. Michigan Ave. Chicago.

May Wear Uniforms on
 Special Civic Occasions

Washington, D. C.-The war department has issued a circu- lar advising honorably dis charged soldiers that they are entitled to wear their uniforms on special occasions. such as parades, patriotic celebrations. etc. The circular was issued because of numerous requests from discharged soldiers for such information. An act pass ed by the last Congress allowed honorably discharged men in the military service, including the Navy and the Marine Corps to retain one complete uniform and authorized it to be worn after the men had returned to private life.

A Good Time to Vote Bonds

The taxpayers of Coconino county are soon to be asked to vote bonds for road construc- ton and improvement. $780, 900 of federal funds are now available for Coconino County if this county will put up an equal amount or more, for road construction. The proposition is one that the county cannot afford to let pass by. It only re- mains to have the matter pre- pared in a way that will guar antee both sides of the county receiving a fair proportion of the benefits.
 The first step, the appoint ment of a committee to push the issue, has been done fairly. Williams has two members out of the five on the committee. The News is confident that the issue will be handled fairly this time and as a result the bonds should carry when put to a vote.

Sugar Forecast Above Average

Thes ugar season of 1919-2O begins with a forecast of pro- duction of about 1,1O8O0O short tons, made by the Bureau of Crop Estimates of the United States Department of Agricul- ture, or about 73,50O tons more than the average of the preced- ing six years during which time the total of the two crops of beet and cane sugar has slight ly exceeded 100000 tons ev- cry year except 1914-15.
 The beet sugar forecast for this year is higher than the re- cord crop of 1915-16 by nearly 75,00O tons and is above the average of the preceding six years by about 169,O00 tons, but the cane sugar crop of this year is forecast at only 159,O69 tons, compared with which is the average of about 254,5OO tons of the preceding six years. During many years the cane sugar crop of 1915-16 has been lower than of and only 1912-13- has been nearly as small. The low prospects of this years crop, at the date of July 1st; are due to a wet, cool spring and to a somewhat low acre. age. In recent years cane su7 gar has usually been about one- quarter of the total of cane and beet sugar produced in the con- tiguous United States, but this the prospect is that it will be only about one-seventh.
 The area planted to sugar beets this year is estimated the largest one on record, reaching S9O, 400 acres, or 20O,7OO acres more than last year and $500 acres more than the largest previous area in 1917. The condition of the crop July 1st, was low, on account of adverse weather conditions,

July no Month for Babies

Chicago, Illinois, is conduct ing a campaign which bids fair to determine which is the best month for babies. Mrs. Walter s. Brewster, Vice-chairman of The Fatherless Children of France, and in charge of nat ional campaign to secure Am erican aid to the extent of 10 cents a day for one year for 6O,OOO little French war waifs, issued an appealfor birthday donations of $500 to care for a child during the donors birth day month.
 The returns disclosed that it is almost impossible to unearth a July birthday. A group of children of Lake Forest fami-' lies-Lake Forest being the wealthiest suburb of Chicago undertook to form an adoption group of the twelve calendar months. January, February. March and all the other birth days were easy to find, but no July child has yet been discov- cred and the local papers are advertising for July children.
 Whats the matter with July?
 To adopt a fatherless little French war waif-which means to act as it's American godmother or godfather while it remains with it's own mother in France-or to make a birth day donation, write to Mrs. Walter s. Brewster, Room 635, 40 s. Michigan Ave-, Chicago. Every cent donated goes direct to the child. The small expens- es of the work are paid by in terested friends.
