Tucson Officers Getting
 Rich Nabbing Deserters,

If you want to get rich quick, join the Tucson police force. No, this is not Wallingford scheme, but here are some cold statistics to substanti- ate this assertion. Policemen in Tue son have gone into government ser vice hence the secret of their success in a financial way. In other words, capturing deserters at $50 per is the secret. Already this month 19 desert CTS have been captured, and though the government does not pay reward on all of these, yet it is safe to say that between $500 and S700 will be dis tributed among policemen in this city for their efforts in experimenting mili- tary and naval deserters.
 Saturday all records were shatter- ed for one day when six deserters were brought in. All the men at first claim ed they were discharged soldiers, but after remaining in the jug for six or eight hours and interview with Chief Bailey or one of the detectives, each acknowledged that he was wanted some place.
 One of these prisoners was stopped by an officer and questioned before he was arrested. He gave satisfactory answer and passed on his way. A few blocks further another policeman was met and the man also passed his in- spection. Still further on a third pa- trolman stopped the man. Say, for the love of Mike, how many cops have you in this town?" asked the irritated man. "You are the third policeman who has stopped me. The other two decided l am all right, so let me go." "l am not so sure about that, come on," replied Policeman No. 8. Later the man acknowledged that he was a deserter.

Sure, Soldiers Want It If They Can Get If.

When the government offered 79 ir- rigable farms on the North Platte pro- ject and 56 on the Shoshone project to soldiers, it got 3,296 applications for the first lot and $40 for the second Each application was accompanied by cash deposit. In addition to these final applications with cash there were hundreds of inquiries from men who later decided the chances were not worth the trouble or expense of ap- plying. Several hundred applicants went at their own expense to attend the drawings and were, in most cases, of course, disappointed.
 Thus there is proof enough that the returned soldiers want land, if it is practical, workable land, on practical, payable terms.
 The American Legion's soldier com pensation and soldier settlement bill, under title one of that bill, offers a genuine plan for ex-soldiers to get land. It makes the provisions of the Lane-Mondell proposal so much more liberal than the original that it gives the ex-soldier a real advantage over the capitalist or speculator.
 At best not all, nor even the most of the ex-service men can get farms. Not all of them want farms. But those who do want them will have real op- portunity if congress will accept that part of the Legion's bonus proposal.
 If the hard heads in congress, the friends of the land spectators and owners of big tracts, amend the bill so as to reduce the advantages to the ex- soldier, they will be guilty of trying to bunco the service man, and they might as we'll understand right now that he will be watching them and will know vat they are doing.-Stars and { .ipes.

HOnOrs of War.
 An artillery outfit was moving from its training camp to take up a posi- tion nearer the front. The brand new lieutenant, who had been given charge of the horses, was experiencing much worriment, especially as the colonel had very strongly emphasized the inn portance of giving the animals every care.
 On the trip, which was long and racking in the "hommes ct chevaux," one of the horses died, despite the ef- forts of the veterinarian.
 Arriving at his destination, the young lieutenant promptly reported to the c. o.
 "Sir," he said somewhat nervously, Gone of the horses died"
 "Well, what did you do with him ?"
 "Sir, l brought him along on a flat car"

Not Real Enough for Them.
 A certain drill Sergeant whose se- verity had made him unpopular with his troops, was putting a party of re- cruits through the funeral service. Opening the ranks so as to permit the passage between them, the instructor, by way of explanation, walked down the lane formed by the two ranks, say ing as he did so:
 "Now, Pm the corpse. Pay atten- tion."
 Having reached the end of the path, he turned round, regarding them steadily with scIutininzing eye for or two then exclaimed:
