DELEGATION OF ARIZONA
 MEN TO WASHINGTON

Within the next few days an Arizona delegation win leave for Washington to lay before Secre- tary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane, a concrete proposal to place returned soldiers and sailors and other settlers on reclaimed lands in this state. This announcement, made by leaders in the movement following meeting of the Phoenix Rotary club, marks the completion of the plans for what is said to be the greatest reclamation project in the history of the state.
 George H. Maxwell, credited with being the father of Arizona's largest irrigation projects; Andrew Kimball, Arizona representative of the agricul- tural department of the railroad ad- ministration and Frank Olmstead, reclamation engineer of Los Angeles, have brought almost to completion the draft of a plan which will place half a million acres at the disposal of new settlers.

WOULD MAKE BIG
 ROAD APPROPRIATION

PHOENIX-A possible fund of $3,4O0,000 for road and bridge build ing in the state, $400,000 of which, in all likelihood, will be immediately available and employment for six hun dred more men within the next sixty days, was the situation as outlined by Representative Wm. Delbridge of Bis bee.
 Delbridge gave theestimates in an- swer to a question as to whether the Cochise delegation in the legislature would press for action on the tele- gram from Bisbee urging levy of $3 900 OOO this year for road con- struction to take care of the unem- ployment situation, which, the tele- gram said, was serious and becoming more critical.
 The s3,4OO,O00 possible road fund mentioned by the ,Bisbee representa- tives is made up as follows:
 Two hundred thousand dollars in a senate emergency bill which is ex- pected to receive prompt action in the house and which is being appropriat- ed to match $200,000 of federal gov ernment funds, or S400,000 in all; another road appropriation measure for state roads carrying $1,500,000 and the enabling bill which will al- low counties to elvy up to two mills on the dollar for road purposes to work in conjunction with the govern ment. If the limit of two mills is put on by the counties, Delbridge says. it would provide another million and a half to add to the states million and half, all of which would be availa- ble when the taxes come in next fall. The immediate funds would come from the states emergency S200,000 and the federal appropriation to match.

PROTECT FROZEN FRUIT.

PHOENIX-The Arizona Wholesale Produce association at it's recent meet ing here, passed a resolution to be presented to the Arizona board of az riculture and horticulture, protesting against the bringing into the state of frozen and cull oranges from Californ- ia. The association will endeavor to have the state board place an embar- go on the importations objected to. A protest was also lodged against the proposed increase in the minimum weight of shipments of perishable pro ducts and the proposed increases of approximately 25 per cent in refrig- orator car charges.
 A resolution was passed asking the state legislature to enact law sim liar to the Texas law which makes it penal offense for retailers to issue false statements in order to obtain credit. It was said that Arizona wholesalers had suffered considerable loss from this practice.

FINISH THE JOB
THE FINEST LODGE
 IN THE WORLD

The late John Donovan, of St. Jo- seph, Missouri, used to tell this story:
 At South St. Joseph, where Dono- van conducted stockyard, the old post had recently died and his widow was temporarily filling the place. As Donovan was. leaving for Washington, his foreman asked him to try to have the old lady permanently appointed.
 Donovan called on President Roose- welt, and explained how the salary of the postmistress would enable her to complete the payments on her little house in year or so, when she could surrender the place and live out her years with her little savings.
 The president, perhaps having his own reasons for suspecting Donovan of some obscure political scheme, asked him:
 "Why do you come to me on this matter?"
 "I don't know" drawled Donovan, unless it's because you and l belong to the same lodge"
 "And what lodge might that be-"
 "Why, the lodge of common, decent American manhood"
 "The - finest - lodge - in - the world! Loeb! Loeb! Where's that appointment signed - postmaster - South Saint Joseph? Tear it up! Write a new one! What did you say her name was, Donovan? Mrs. En- gleston? Thank you! Thank you, Mir Donovan. The finest lodge in the world"

NEW BABIES WILL
 .. SAVE YOU MONEY

WASHINGTON-Babies born in 1918 will bring varying income tax exemptions to their parents, depend ing on the month of their birth. A child born in January, 1918, gives s200 exemption in addition to the s2,- 900 allowed married persons, but if q child was born in July the parent is entitled to exemption of only s100 on the infants account. If the child was born in October the tax paying parent is allowed only $50 exemption, or one fourth of the S200, normal exemption. Under another regulation of the rev enue bureau person living else
 where may be acting as the principal support of person living elsewhere and may be considered the head of C family, entitled to exemption of $2000.

EMERGENCY
 ESTIMATES CUT
Chairman Eddy recommends $lO,O0O Appropriation
 for N. A. N. $.

PHOENIX.--Chairman Eddy of the house committee on appropriations submitted an answer to the message of Governor Campbell asking for emer- gency appropriations totalling S45S,- 2S7 to carry the state institutions to the end of the present fiscal year. The report of the committee cut deep into the estimates of the chief executive and recommended a total emergency appropriation of S134,396 of which $26, ,S96 is for building appropriations and $1O7, ,500 for maintenance.
 The committee stated that it based it's figures on the relative conditions existing in the state institution funds and the state treasury during the en- tire fiscal year 1917-1S and the first half of the fiscal year 191S-l9, noting what was done in the cases of the diff ferent funds then and from that cal culating its estimates for the balance of the present fiscal year.
 The committee report deals with the various funds as follows: Pioneers home maintenance-asked by the gov ernor S17,399, recommended S750O; state hospital for insane maintenance asked $75,092 recommended $40,000; Northern Arizona Normal School maintenance-S4S,000 asked, $1O,OOO recommended; state prison mainten- ance-$66,230 asked, S25,000 recom- mended; state industrial school main tenance-$30, ,000 asked, $25,0 ,000 recom- mended; Tempe Normal School main tenance-$26, ,896 asked $26,S96 recom- mended; pioneers home improvement fund-$206S asked, nothing recom- mended; university light and power plant--$1272 asked, nothing recom' mended.
 The report recommends that several of the amounts asked for be dealt with in the regular appropriation bill and declares that those sums requested for improvements also cannot be con sidered emergency items.

LIONS AND WOLVES
 PLENTIFUL IN GIL

The mountain lions and wolves have become so plentiful in the Strawberry valley district in northern Gila county that it is impossible to raise colts. Twenty-four colts have been killed by them in the past two years. There is only one colt left in the valley and it is scared of an attack by a lion. Plans are under way to place three professional trappers in that district They will work through the U. s. bio logical survey in cooperation with County Agricultural Agent Sandige and it is expected that good results will show in a decrease of lions and wolves in that district. Zane Gray and party have been hunting and trap ping in that district for some time with fair success.

UEEI, OR APPENDIX?

Senator Ashurst of Arizona has made a speech on the importance to us of Lower California, which it seems hardly necessary to read when so competent a summary is printed on the envelope. And the first sen tence is so comprehensive and states the matter in such clear anatomical language, that it seems scarcely ne- cessary to expound any further. MT. Ashurst says:
 "The peninsula of lower California, I repeat, is a vermiform appendix to Mexico. It is the heel-the Achilles heel-to the United States.
 Evidently the vermiform appendix which is heel calls for radical treat ment. But it is not so clear what the treatment should be, because the treat ment for the appendix is not the same as the treatment for heels. The pur- pose of the appendix, of course, is 10 be removed It is a regular meal ticket for surgeons. But a heel is not to be removed, and it is not easy to see how the amputation of the ap- pendix can afford remedy for the heel.
 Mexico and the United States are more intimately connected than we ev- CT dreamed if the vermiform appen- dix of one is the heel-the Achilles heel-of the other. We must be something like the Siamese twins. The removal of the appendix must be so performed as to remove the heel, or at least the Achilles quality of the heel, of the United States.
 The heel, we believe, was the han dle of Achilles by which his mother held on to him when she dipped him in the river which imparted invulner- ability. Had she been a thoughtful mother she would have also dipped him the other end up so that his heel might be wound-proof. Her carless-. ness left one spot on her son where he could be wounded. The United States is invlunerable elsewhere, but the Arizona senator thinks that Lower California, which is not a part of the United States, is the point in which the United States can be wound ed. This is anatomically confusing, but the senator's point seems to be that if the vermiform appendix of Mexico were removed and attached to the United States the heel which is 
 now susceptible to wounds would be- come invulnerable.
 If this diagnosis is correct both countries should be equally glad to have the operation performed Mex ico can not wish to retain its vermi- form appendix; no one is; everybody who can afford it gets rid of his. If the weak spot of the United States lies in Mexico we should be glad to have, it removed, and it is possible that the treatment that could be given to it by the eminent surgeons of the American General Staff would render it invulnerable. If the matter were properly presented to General Carranza we can hardly imagine that he would not gladly join the United States in seeking an operation that would be so greatly to the advantage of both countries.-Philadelphia Re cord.

MINERS FLEE MEXICO.

FL PASO-American mining men continue to arrive here from the in- terior of Mexico. While no official statement has been issued, it is known that the threats made by Francisco Villa to wreck the mining plants and kill all Americans found in Chihuahua state after March is responsible for the exodus. Among other employees arriving here were a number of men working for the American Smelling & Refining Go. in Mexico. ....
