That Arizona promises to set new high record in the production of cot ton and cantaloupes, is the outstand- ing feature of the government crop report issued today by L. M. Harri- son, field agent for the Bureau of Crop Estimates. Surpassing her rec ord cotton acreage of last year by 15,OO0 acres, Arizona planted this year total of 115,000 acres. Based on a condition of 93 per cent of nor nal, the forecast is for crop of 44,0OO bales of American-Egyptian long staple, and 10000 bales of the short staple. This compares with &C., 900 bales of American-Egyptian and 10000 bales of short staple produced last year.

Shipments are now being made under favorable con- ditions, the total to date (July ID being 1,131 cars as against 334 cars last year to the same date. The larg- est number of cars ever shipped was in 1917, when 1914 cars were produc- ed; 865 cars were shipped out three years ago; 490 cars were shipped four years ago, and 562 cars were shipped five years ago.
 Wheat conditions in Arizona July were reported at 96 per cent of nor nal, compared with 85 per cent last year, and 93 per cent, the 10-year av- craze. The total crop will be about one million hushele
 Corn acreage shows an increase of 10 per cent. About 37,000 acres were planted this year. which compares with 34,000 acres last year. Based on conditions July 1 of 94 per cent of a normal crop, the total production should be about 1858, 900 bushels. This compares with 952,000 last year and 864, 4,000 bushels two years ago. The condition of oats July 1 was 102, compared with 96 last year, and 92 the 10-year average. The fore cast is for a crop of 510.000 bushels. This is 10000 bushels more than was produced last year.
 The barley crop is placed at 1,120.- 900 bushels, which compares with 100000 bushels last year.
 Potato acreage is about the same as last year, being estimated at 5000 acres. Based on conditions July 1 of 91 per cent, the forecast is for a crop of 555000 bushels. This compares with 425,000 bushels last year, and 420.0OO bushels in 1917.
 The condition of other crops July 1, 1919, compared with July 1, 1918, is as follows: Alfalfa, 93 and 90; pas ture, 90 and 80; grain sorghums, 94 and 90; beans, 95 and 93; apples, 91 and S6; peaches. 95 and 70; canta- loupes, 97 and 90; watermelons, 97 and 87.

POEM WAS CREDITED
 TO WRONG PERSON

Camp Verde, Ariz., July il, '19. Mr. F. s. Breen, Editor Coconino Sun,
 Flagstaff, Ariz. Dear Sir:
 In the June 27 issue of The Coco nino Sun, on Page 5, notice a poem entitled "Take Me Back to Arizona y credited to a full-blooded Hopi In- dian. If you will turn to page 103 of E. A. Brininstool's volume of verse, "Trail Dust of a Maverick" you will find exactly where MT. Indian secured his peculiar talent" for verse-mak- ing. What few changes he made were detrimental to the sense of the verses as in the line where he says "by the noodle that he carried" instead of "by the 'boodle' that he carried" and "where a brand iron was suspected" instead of "where a brand iron was respected"
 l think Brininstool should have the credit for this production instead of the Indian, as it was plagiarism all most word for word.
 Respectfully,
 MRS. LESLIE CLAYTON.

ANCIENT BURIAL PLACE OF
 PIGMY RACE IS DISCOVERED

That Squaw Creek mesa was the burial ground of the ancients seems to be fact, from discovery made by Thomas Gallinger, now in the city, who related an interesting incident that occurred when he and his part ner H. l.. Loomis, were prospecting in that region, situated about 15 miles east of Canyon station. Gallinger said:
 "We were driving a drift on ten inch streak of copper-silver ore, and veritable catacomb was run onto. We found in one place five skeletons, three in another and three more near by. We kept on digging and it seemed as if the loose formation was filled with the dead. Our interest in mining exploration was diverted to uncovering the remains of what ap- peared to be an old burial place and before we discontinued the work 19 bodies were found.
 "This cup full of turquoise is the mute evidence of what we have &C., complished, showing that green was the favorite color of the long ago. There also was found by each skele- ton small sized pottery wares, some bearing emblems in black of animals as well as birls. These were in frag- ments, but are easily put together. have sent to the University of Ari- zona some of the pieces in a compact state, to be put together, and some are going to the Smithsonian Institu- ton at Washington. Later we are go- ing back to continue examining. We left on account of water being scarce. All the human forms were of diminu- tive size and height."-Prescott Jour nal Miner.

HAD LIVED HIS TIME

In the flu epidemic in Chicago, when all public meeting places were closed and the entire population was com pelled to wear masks to prevent the spread of the disease, a drunken man was overheard muttering:
 "Well, am an old man, but have lived my time and am ready to quit. l have lived to see four great things come to pass-the end of the war, the churches closed, saloons left open and the women muzzled."

PLEASURE TO EVERYONE
TO HELP IN MOVEMENT

Audubon county as well as every
other county in the state is to have
an active organization for the pre-
vention and treatment of tubercu-
losis, if the Red Cross Christmas Seal
sale campaign in Iowa is success
this year.
The seals will be placed on sale
as usual beginning December / and
arrangements are being made for
county sale organizations all over the
state.
OF the proceeds, from so to 20 per-
cent will be retained in the home
communities for use in local cam
paigns, the remainder being turned
over to the Iowa tuberculosis Assoc
citation for the state wide anti-tuber-
culosis fight.
The percentage for local use will
depend upon the number of seals
sold, in counties where the sale av-
erages ten seals per capita, 20 per-
cent of the proceeds will go for local
work. The seals are to be disposed
of at one cent each.
The state organization will also do
work in every community, supplying
lecturers, holding clinics, assigning
public health nurses for special cam
paigns. and in similar activities.
1t is the aim of the association, in
cooperation with the American Red
Cross, not only to see that every per-
son, suffering from tuberculosis has
an opportunity to obtain the best OF
medical attention and treatment, but
to educate the entire public and es-
pecially the younger generation, in
preventing the disease through san
itation and cleanliness of person and
surroundings.

WHAT ON EARTH is
A MAN TO DO ANYWAY?

Hans Hansen of Audubon, Iowa,
disposed of his quarter section
south of Chancellor to w. w. Thomp-
son. His original purchase price
of this land was s11 per acre and
share of the crop this year which
was one-third of the total, was $50
bushels of wheat and 80 bushels of
oats. Apparently Hans does not
yet realize the proper value of land
in the Standard district when he
sells il so cheaply. Before leaving
for Iowa he leased his half section
between Standard and Strathmore to
Chris Sorensen. Reporter, Rocky
ford, Canada.
The above item is of much inter-
est to Hans friends here. When
he is in Canada and sells a part OF
his holdings they say he is foolish
to do so and when he is here in Au-
dubon they tell him he has too
much Canada land so Hans has about
concluded that it is darned II you
do and darned IL you don't. We
notice however, that Hans knows
which side his bread is buttered on
for he has not only made good in
vestments for himself in Canada but
has induced lot of his friends to
do likewise. AS long as man can
get S25 an acre increase on land In
Canada we see no reason why he
should not do it just as hundreds OF
people have done right here In Au-
dubcn county.

GOVERNOR LowDEN
MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT

Frank o. Lowden, war governor
of Illinois, recognized presidential
possibility and an ardent champion
of the live stock industry, charter
member of the International Live
Stock Exposition and actually engag-
ed in the campaign for the improve
ment of American live stock COM
menting on the present and prospec-
tive status of the industry, remark
ed:
Twenty years ago when the first
International Live Stock Exposition
was held at Chicago the institution
was no more essential than at this
moment. During that two-decade
period the industry has been thru
period of evolution: each season
has developed new production prob
lens, both in the spheres of breed
ing and finishing. Foreign compe-
tition, especially in the case of beef,
has become of serious import, rem
dering maximum results imperative.
A brief era of free grass and cheap
grain has passed into the historical
stage; making gains with cattle,
hogs or sheep has enhanced in cost
until even with the new scale of
values the industry can be probably
maintained only by intelligent meth
DDS, and the lessons annually taught
at Chicago during the first week in
December therefore possess added
import
1.-The problem confronting the
American live stock grower at this
juncture combines economical feed
ing with improved breeding; there
fore, the new departure providing
for a comprehensive display of such
grains and grass products as are es-
sential to the manufacture of beef,
pork and mutton on the farm is a
timely innovation. The Interna-
tional has kept pace with every mu-
tation of the industry during its 20
years of educational effort and in the
hands of the public-spirited men who
chart its course, will continue to dis
charge that function.
1--WE have emerged from the pc
riod OF waste to one of highly inten-
sified, systematic production in
which only the fittest can survive IL
financial results is to be the objec-
tive. Feed is more than ever a
factor of primary Importance to the
live stock grower and the new de-
partment of the international" will
rank with the established features OF
the institution in commanding pub
lie interest"

THE WAY l FEEL ABOUT 1T

Is your life lonely? Remember
Noah.
If you really have brains you are
bound to have common sense.
An accomplished liar never seems
to be accomplished in anything else.
A crab hasn't many friends, but
then probably crab doesn't want
many friends.
You'll never know whether the
jobs too big for you until after you
have failed trying it.
IL they ever get through with
drives" will we then be allowed to
settle down to walk?
If you have no enemies careful
self-analysis will also show that
neither have you any courage.
The women who condemn flirting
most severely always seem to be
those that never could have spoken
from personal experiences.
There is growing suspicion, too,
that if more Europeans would get
down to hard work, they would not
require so much help from America.
The opinion of your village COM
munity about you may not amount
to much but it generally makes
things easier for you to pretend that
you think il does.
You may be better off in some
ways than your parents were in their
day but when they had dollar
they knew it was good for something
besides tip for the waiter.
1t is discouraging to note how
| long a hypocrite can get by with his
hypocrisy among folks that are good
themselves, but like any other doc
tored horse he always falls down in
| the stretch.
Fresh air is still on the free list,
| but from the way some people try to
! avoid il in cool weather you'd sup
pose it was the original cause of the
high cost of living instead of the
| original reason for the high cost of
| dying.
History wasn't made in day any
more than was Rome, but few
folks at Washington and Paris are
| trying to unmake our history of
| nearly century and half in few
months and put substitute history
in its place.
Wealth isn't everything and
sometimes il isn't much of anything,
but even those who are bitterest
against il often seem willing to
strike and tie up industry and starve
babies and shed blood in order to
get little more of it.

MAY BE DEADLOCK IN
SENATE ON TREATY VOTE


Further indications that the peace
treaty fight may lead to a continu-
ing deadlock developed at Washing
ton Tuesday while the senate lead
ers were trying in vain to fix def
mite date for roll call on ratifica-
ton.
Administration senators, suggest
ing that the final vote be taken this
week indicated purpose to defeat
ratification by combining with the
treaty's irreconcilable opponents
should the reservations adopted by
the foreign relations committee be
written into the ratification resolu-
ton.
Whether the administration forces
then could present an alternate res
olution under senate rules was
brought into question by the repub-
lican leaders, who predicted that
even IL such resolution got consid-
GRAFTON, 1t too would be voted down.
An hour of debate on the subject
got nowhere, and the senate went
back to the consideration of treaty
amendments. IL may reach a vote
tomorrow on that by Senator La Fol-
lette, republican, Wisconsin, to
strike out the labor provisions and
then unless some new plan is de-
vised to hasten action, other amend
ments and a long list of proposed
reservations will be taken up under
the, tedious rule of unlimited debate.
The administration proposal for a
vote this week was presented by
Senator Hitchcock, the democratic
leader, after he had blocked one by
Republican Leader Lodge calling for
a final vote November 18th. "A final
vote on that date" declared Mr..
Hitchcock, would mean that the
only opportunity for a show down
on ratification must come on reso-
luton drawn up by the treaty's en-
emies and containing reservations
unacceptable to the administration
senator's"
Mr.. Lodge in turn blocked the adj
ministration program, which would
have provided for a vote Thursday
on the committee resolution with its
reservations and would have left
Friday and Saturday for considera-
tion of any compromise resolutions
agreed on by the democrats and the
mild reservation" republicans. To
open the way for such move after
ratification vote had been taken
would mean upsetting senate rules
entirely, Mr.. Lodge declared adding
that If the treaty's friends voted
against ratification with the commit
tee reservations they would place
the treaty Sin grave danger"
Although Senator Hitchcock did
not definitely announce 1t his inten-
ton to help vote down the commit
tee resolution he argued that such a
course followed by presentation of a
compromise measure would be logi-
cal and fair. Supporting this stand
Senator Pittman Of Nevada, another
democratic member OF. the commit
tee said he never would vote for the
treaty il the committee reservations
went in.

oRAToRY STUFF IN DIsFAvoR

1t has been at last definitely de-
cided that the returned soldiers of
Christian county are to be given a
fitting celebration, although as yet
no definite arrangements have been
made as to what kind of celebra-
ton it will be. In fact, there will
be two celebrations, one for the white
men and one for the colored men.
The expenses are to paid by the Red
Cross which, will make all arrage-
ments. ST.
The "boys" Of our county have
been wondering for some time past
what kind Of an occasion Christian
county's celebration would be. 1t
was the consensus of opinion among
most of the boys that the people
would express their appreciation of
the deeds which Christian county's
boys did in the war with great dis.
play of oratory and the like, as has
been elsewhere and the boys felt
disappointed. For the boys, be it
known do not want hot air celebra-
tions. They had enough of that
while in the army. Let US do some
thing for them that they win enjoy.
The thing they want and the thing
they will appreciate most would be
a barbecue or picnic without any big
speeches, but with an athletic tourna-
ment for men, a baseball game, a po-
tato race, a relay race and the like
with small trophies offered for the
winners. That would be something
which the ex-soldiers would enjoy.
They say "Let the politicians and or
ators do their worst on the Fourth
Of July but give, us something else
ON our day." Let's give them what
they want.
