PHOENIX TROOP MAY
 LOSE SENIORITY. IF
 NOT |NSPECTEDSOON

Phoenix stands a chance of losing senority for its national guard cav diary troops, now nearly organized, according to Adjutant General w. S. Ingalls,, and Yuma stands chance of winning this honor. Both cities have the requisite number of men signed up for muster, and Phoenix reported first, but the Yuma troop is said to be all department, while Phoenix is making a weak second at this time-
 Seniority means a great deal for any military unit, the adjutant general says, aside from the opportunity it gives the troop commander for pro- motion to field rank. The troop, it. self, has the first call when any ex citement is on, and in various other ways it reaps benefits. The award of the states s90,0O0 armory fund, also, is apt to go to the senior troop.
 The Phoenix organization met in the city hall last night to elect officers and to attend to such other business as came up. The officers elected are E. s. Linton, commander: E. G. Coan. first lieutenant; and l.. E.. Kent, sec ond lieutenant; all of the officers be- ing employees of the Pratt-Gilbert company. Captain Linton is credited with accomplishing most of the or ganization work, and is a former artillery officer.
 About 50 of the 73 men on the mus ter roll were present at last nights meeting, all present undergoing pre- liminary physical examinations. The entire roll must be reported ready for inspection by the war department be- fore the army's inspecting officer can be detailed to muster in the troop, and it is feared. now that the Yuma organ ization will beat the Phoenix one to senior place.
 The next meeting of the Phoenix organization is scheduled for Thurs day night, when it is hoped that the organization work will be completed. Unless otherwise announced the meet ing will be at the city hall All en- listed members of the guard, under the present war department regula- tions, will draw one-fourth of regular army pay.

GENTLEMEN HOPING
 FOR 4 BETTER PRICE
 ON YEARL|NC STEERS

Best offers for yearling steers this year, in Arizona, are $42.5O head. all though it is expected by cattlemen that better offerings will be made soon, ac- cording to Secretary Ed W. Stephens of the state livestock sanitary com mission. The secretary has returned from a trip to the big ranches. The trip included a visit at the Cananea Cattle company's headquarters on the Mexican side.
 The cattlemen report expectations of even better prices when buyers from all over the country get together on Feb. IT, IS, 19 and 20 in Tucson at the annual convention of the Arizona Cattle Growers association. The convention is to be followed by that of the Pan- handle association. According to Sec- rotary Stephens information the cat- tiemen count upon the fine range con- ditions here and the drought conditions ia California to result in better prices in Arizona eventually. Plenty of feed is reported on all of the state ranges to carry the cattle along to the best advantage.
 The Cananea cattle country is in re- markedly fine condition, MT. Stephens says, and reminds him much of the Arizona country 30 years ago before the range was depleted by hard usage. The deer was so plentiful there, he says that venison sells on the market along with beef and at about the same price, and it is said that 250,000 head of deer were slaughtered in Mexico last year. Stephens reports the Mexican more prosperous conditions in Mexico at con- siderable distance from the border line.
 He found the machinery of the Mexican law working in lively fashion, recent bank robbery there and result tant killing of five men being followed almost immediately with the public hanging of three of the robbers

 The application was based on several grounds, one of them being that the venue was not laid in the trial; that If the crime with which Smith was charged had been committed at all. it was not shown by the evidence that 1t had been committed in Maricopa county. Also misconduct on the part of the county attorney was alleged in the application. in that he had got be- fore the jury incompetent and irreley- ant matter; that he nad stated to the jury that he would prove that the de- fendant had been discharged by the employed, for dishonesty, though no proof of such discharge was offered.

 Paths Wide Ones
 In his journeys about the world, Ryan spent much of his time among the natives in the small towns and countries, for there he could see more of them and their customs than in the crowded cities. The paths he has made around the world have been wide ones, extending from the midnight sun to the Southern Cross.
 Ryan has an offer from the Chicago Tribune to engage in circulation work in France. He also has a proposition from the London Daily Mail. He was brought to the notice of Lord North cliffe during his early visit to France, and that owner of many newspapers directed that efforts be made to secure his discharge from the A. l.. F. after the signing of the armistice.
 Ryan thinks that he may settle down somewhere. but he is not sure that he would be contented. If not, though, the road is always open and he is still young.

in national elections, has assumed
added Importance this year because
both parties chose as their presidential
nominees men from the Buckeye state.
It is the first time since 1904 that
a similar thing has occurred. That
year, Roosevelt and Parker both from
New York, were the nominees,
With Harding and Cox contending
for honors in the nation, Ohio is GER
tain to be hotly contested this fall
The next president will be the sixth
Ohioan to occupy the White House.
The two candidates are alike in
many ways. Cox is now governor of
Ohio; Harding was lieutenant gov
ernor Both are newspaper owners
and formerly were practical news
paper men. Both have been in con-
gress, Harding now being member
of the senate while Cox was once in
the house of representatives
In temperament they are totally un-
like. Harding has frequently been
compared with William Mckinley. He
is of that even tempered, friendly sort
that seldom makes enemies. Cox is
an aggressive, active man, somewhat
blunter on occasion than Harding, but
able to use the arts of diplomacy or
good politics.
Politically, Cox has been classed as
a progressive, while Harding is known
as a thorogoing standpatter,
Cox lives in Dayton, o., and Hard
