Unusual penalties should attach to the offense of shooting juror in the deportation cases, Cor anywhere eIse) is reported to have been shot yesterday had been ordinary citizen.
 Of course in order tighten further the closed season for juror-citizens it would necessary to have some additional and special legislation on the subject, so that there naturally comes a suggestion for another extraordinary the legislature

All rich Americans live in palaces or gorgeous hotels.
 There are few servants, and those we have are Japs or Chinks.
 As a rule. nobody dimes at home but at restaurants.
 And when they go to the restau- rants, they do not go really to dine but to dance to the music of jazz band.
 All Americans do it-even father There seems to be no family life in America.
 When the family is not at a restau- rant, father chews a cigar and tele- phones to business associates and daughter phones to some young man.
 America may be a great democratic country. but the rich people are very exclusive. They will have nothing to do with anybody whose handbook is not beyond question.

Where The People
 May Have a Hearing
Whence an Arizona Hero Came


 Dear Editor:
 A matter that has been continually coming up and which this post Of he American Legion is deeply interested in, and would like to zee corrected. is the repeated announcement in the Phoenix papers that John t7ruitt ;s Maricopa boy. when the fact of the matter is. he is d Pinal county boy. having enlisted from Ray. Arizona and after whom the local post Of the legion has been named.
 The Pruitt family lived for some time in Alhambra and also in Phoenix but are originally from Arkansas and if any state or district had a right 10 enter claims for the distinction of be- ing his own state it would be Arkansas About two-thirds of Arizona's serv- ice men were born in the east or middle west. so we must not be too noisy about our claims or some of the other states might hear us, but if county claims are allowed I think Pinal county should be given first consideration.
 Very respectfully.

 Coincidentally there has also been a very pronounced renewal of seismic and magnetic activity and disturbance as well far more than the usual prevalence of destructive storms, in volving many disasters upon the high seas.
 From February to July of this year Saturn and Uranus will be in unusual Iy close and exceptionally long con- tinued opposition to each other, due to the fact that they both happen to reach their respective turning points, al which they appear to stop and re- verse their direction. a t the same time, in consequence of which they will both remain apparently stationary - as viewed from our earth-for very long time: with the earth continuously upon the exact line over which their di- ametrically contrasted influences will be meeting in head-on collision.

ANOTHER SONG
 BY ARIZONA GIRL

" 'Tis There I Miss You is the title of a new song by Jamie McMillan Lewis of Prescott the author of the song and music of Dear Heart When Near Thee" issued not long ago. The words are:
 When the dawn begins to break
 Through the darkness of the night
 When the shadows take their flight And the birds begin their song
 Of hope and love; When the moon has sunk away To it's home of rest
 And the golden glow of sunrise
 Guilds the sky Iris then, Sweetheart, I miss you When the evening shades are fallin
 Ger this earth so fair And the sun has gone to shed its glow over other distant lands
 When the stars above shine out
 In splendor, And wraith-like voices Whisper secrets of the night
 When the birds are softly calling
 To their mates among the trees And the perfume of the flowers
 Fills the air. When all nature seems to speak Of Gods presence and His love
 Ts then, Sweetheart I miss you.
