NOT TOO LATE TO GET
 BATTLES INTO DISCHARGE

If you went over the top and it didn't get in your service-record book it isn't too late to have it fixed.
 Secretary Baker says it isn't. It will take little effort on your part but it can be done. Here's how:
 If your outfit took part in an en- gagement and the morning reports do not show you absent from your or ganization you can get credit for be- ing among those present by making a sworn statement that you were on the job and sending it to the adjutant general with a certificate from an of- ficer or the sworn statement of an en- listed man that he knows you were actually there.
 If you do this the secretary of war says that it shall be considered that you participated in the engagement, and statement to that effect may be indorsed on your discharge certificate when requested.

GET RICH QUICK EASY
 BY SKUNK ROUTE

James Forepaugh, hunter and trap per, who was in Prescott about two months ago, is getting rich quick by the novel route of killing skunks, ac- cording to a report given by George F.. Harrington, mining operator from the Date creek range. The latter stated that Forepaugh to date had captured 796 of the skunk family in traps of his own invention, and the entire lot had been expressed to an Omaha furrier, the pelts averaging at least $4.50 each.
 The sink of Date creek was the field worked by Forepaugh, and only lim- ited number of foxes were in the clean up. MT. Harrington stated that per fumed bail was used by the hunter The skunk responded to his bait, but the coyote, the lion and the lobo wolf would keep away from the scene.

UNITED STATES THIRD
 IN FIGHTING FORCES

The United States made the third largest contribution in fighting forces during the war, namely, approximate ly 100000 men, according to figures compiled by British statisticians. France headed the list, while Great Britain came second with grand to- tai of S,654,467 The ration strength of the American army in France on armistice day, that is, the total num- Der of men who were being fed from army stocks, is placed at 1924 ,000, while Great Britain's ration strength in this theater on the same date was 1,731 ,57s. This does not take into ac- count prisoners of war nor the negro labor employed by England.
 America's combatant strength ;n France on armistice day is set down at 1,160,000.

TEACHER PARKED FEM

At first thought, perhaps, there seems to be but little connection be- tween fiivver and readin', ritin' and 'rithmetic, but at least one little six year-old Columbus girl had no diff ficulty in associating the idea. When she went home from her first day at school, naturally, mother asked her what she had done in school.
 "Oh, nothing much," the tot re- piled. "We sat around while, and then the teacher parked us all in a row, and then she made us march out, one behind the other"

FORESTRY EXPERIMENT
 STATIONS MAY CLOSE

Abandonment of forestry expert ment stations in Colorado, Idaho Washington and Arizona will be forced, if action of the senate agricul- ture committee in reducing the forest investigation item of the pending ap- propriation bill from $78,728 to $35,- 900 is approved, the American For estry association asserted in an nouncing that it would seek to have the senate committee on forestry re- store the original provision.
 Experiment work in Oregon, Cali fornia, Utah, Montana and in other states would be crippled by the pro posed cut, the statement adds.

Be it resolved, that the Ari-
 Zona Wool Growers association
 declares itself to be unalterably
 opposed to the proposed with
 drawal from use for sheep graz
 ing of 60,000 acres in the Coco
 nino national forest, and pledges
 itself to use every reasonable eff
 fort to prevent the proposed
 withdrawal of this or any similar
 area now used for the grazing of
 sheep."
 With Hugh F.. Campbell, president, presiding and members of the advis- ory board from each of the forest re- serves in northern Arizona present, the Arizona Wool Growers associa- tion thus declared itself at special meeting held in Phoenix Friday to discuss grazing conditions on Arizona reserves, as well as questions dealing with the driveways now provided for moving sheep across reserves.
 Discussion of the withdrawal ques- tion consumed the greater part of the day, F. C. w. Pooler, district forester, with headquarters at Albuquerque, N. M., being present to state the forest departments position and intention. His statement preceded the adoption of the following:
 Resolution Adopted.
 "Whereas, it is proposed by the for est department to withdraw from the Coconino forest in Arizona 60,000 acres of grazing land now adapted to and used by the sheep industry in Ari- zona on the theory that sheep grazing is detrimental to reforestration of this area, and
 "Whereas, it has been admitted by forest officers that reforestration has been ample from natural causes on other adjacent areas upon which sheep grazing has been permitted, and
 Whereas, the withdrawal of this area means the annual loss of grazing to 12,0OO head of sheep, which will produce annually 4S0,OO0 pounds of lamb, 129,60O pounds of wool and 3S,- 400 pounds of leather, and
 "Whereas, the forest department proposes to continue the exclusion from the Coconino forest for period of possibly 20 years, with the annual loss set forth herein, and
 Whereas, this is matter of grave public concern and directly affects the welfare of every consumer of lamb, wool and leather"
 May Reach 100000 Acres.
 District Forester Pooler, in the dis cussion, admitted that the extent of the withdrawals from grazing in Ari- zona forests to aid reforestration could not be definitely estimated, but that it might be definitely estimated as 100000, from which sheep would be excluded. He stated that the with drawals were upon the theory that new trees would be grown upon much of the area from which timber has been cut.
 President Campbell declared that the forest service has not as yet "properly tested the grazing of sheep to determine to what extent they af- feet the growth of young trees," and asked that this be done by the forest officials before the withdrawals are made.
 Urging that the sheep and cattle in- terests work in harmony, and that each assist the other in the protection of their rights, Dr. J. w. Wilson, presi- denh of the Wyoming Wool Growers association, addressed the meeting. He urged that campaign to induce the public to consume more lamb meat be made, and urged that a delegation of Arizona sheep men go to Washington to present their claims.

TAKES LONG SHOT, BUT IN
 END GETS MAN AND LOOT

On February 10 a man named Mo- Wharton is said to have purloined a set of broncho hardware off a pony belonging to M. C. Smith, who ranches out of Ash Fork.
 The authorities were notified that McWharton, the saddle, bridle and blanket had been acquired by the po- lice at Deming, N. M., and that dep uty sheriff from Seligman, named Ed Johnson, was on the train speeding after the same.
 The alleged theft was reported to Deputy c. s. Patterson, of Ash Fork, whose investigations showed him that bundle marked bedding and worth s1O0 had been sent from Seligman to Deming on a certain day. He took a long chance and wired the Deming authorities who nailed the man and the alleged loot.

PAYNE GIVES ALASKA BIG ADVERTISING
 IN HIS REPORT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8 tby Associ- ated Press) )-Secretary of the Inte- rior John Barton Payne. in his an nual report to congress, declares in ernment line of steamships to Alaska, "even at a loss. to provide service at reasonable rates.'
 The secretary of the interior de- clares against any larger measure of selfgovernment for the territory, this being taken to indicate that he is not in sympathy with former Secretary Lanes suggestion for a development board, and he appears to regard the coordination of territorial activities through an interdepartmental board as offering the best cure for existing conditions.
 Three of the ten printed pages of Secretary Payn's report are devoted to Alaska. recounting his observations on his recent trip to the territory with Secretary of the Navy Daniels ans! Admiral Rodman with a fleet of destroyers.
 He laid particular stress upon the need of opening up the country through the railroad system and bet ter transportation. and as solving that problem recommends the consolida- tion of the two companies at present operating in the territory and if that fails the establishment of govern ment service under the shipping board.

7 in Alaska is better than the condition of those in the states, as their op- portunities for saving are greater.
 Governor Riggs predicts that if the board bill is adopted by congress and his other recommendation concurred in, the appropriations for Alaska can be cut below similar appropriations for any other state or territory and that the territory will then become self-supporting and self-sustaining.
 Among the recommendations of Governor Riggs in his report are: Enactment of the transportation in Alaska and McFadden gold bonus bills; amendment of the organization act granting Alaska full territorial powers: legislation transferring to the territory of jurisdiction over fish, game and fur animals; an amendment to the coal leasing law exempting leasers from the payment of royalties during the first five years of the lease; establishment of federal po- lice force; extending of farm loan act to the territory transfer from the federal to the territorial treasury of all Alaska funds: authorizing fed eral buildings at Cordova and Juneau: transfer to the territory of the net proceeds from sales of timber in ter ritorial forests; territorial participa- tion in the net proceeds from the sale of seals in the Pribiloff islands; crea- tion of the office of secretary of Alas ka apart from the surveyor general; appropriation for the railway and an appropriation for wagon roads as feeders for the railroad
