4 Little Too Much

There is a final question, which is of
Importance: the angle between the Me
men and East Prussia-the Suwalki cor
ncr~-is the main line of land communi-
cation between Russia and GERMANY
One of the chief aims Of Red activity for
months has been to establish sure COM
munlcation between Germany and
Russia and thus to be able to draw upon
the Germans for the munitions thew re-
qu're to prosecute their wars with the
Poles and with Wrangel. Thus the
Poles have unmistakable reasons for
holding this corner until the Russian
war Is at least terminated.
We have then the situation in which
the Llthuanians refuse to recognize the
"ethnic frontier" of Poland as fixed at
Paris, in which they permit the Rus
SANS to cross their territories to attack
Poland, and, in addition, the notorious
fact that Russian armies have declined
to halt at the "ethnic frontier" as cer-
tain prejudiced Quarters now demand
the Poles shall halt. Poland is thus
asked to sacrifice her safety to a prin-
clple the enemy does not honor and to
accept for herself an ethnic frontier
unfavorable to herself, which is not &C.
cepted by Lithuania This is, in truth
little too much to ask,

CRETE ONCE A GREAT POWER
Ruled-RemarkabIe Laws Under
Which People Lived.

Minos, king of Crete, exercised a
preponderating power on the sea; he
drove out the barbarous Carians from
the Cyclades, and extermlnated piracy
which among the Greeks had been
openly professed; he kept the people
Of the coasts in awe of him, and at
the same time forced them to pay him
tribute.
Crete was simultaneously situated
to become mistress of the sea, but at
length confederacy arose which put
an end to her dominion. Minos wish
ed to render the Cretans mild and
gentle In their manners. TO attain
this object he allowed free indul-
gence, Plato says, to licentious excess,
even of the most f1agitious kind, hop
ing that the refnements Of gal.
lantry would mitigate the native
ferocity Of his subjects.
As individuals the Cretans pos
sessed eminent skill In military af-
fairs, while the laws which they
adopted prevented the state from I'M
dertaking any great enterprise abroad.
They elected ten cosmos, or regulators,
to govern In peace and war, and when
the period of their office was COM
pleted they remained members of the
legislature. The Judges were all men
of advanced age, and young men were
never allowed to propose a change In
the law. and all proposals were made
in the senate, and secretly. Slaves
titled the soil, and the citizens ate to-
gether in public companies, while the
country was divided into twelve por-
tons for agriculture and business.

Ling's Lynn. (By Mail.)-Despite
England's smallness and labor's ef-
forts, there are some spots so remote
that inhabitants have never heard of
a minimum wage.
Barton Bendish. Norfolk, claims to
be the lonliest place on the face of

this back beyond was charged with
infringing the agricultural minimum
wage order A. G. Hawker, who de-
Tended him said:
"Barton Bendish is one of those
places you can only get to by aero

Color Blindness,

It may come as surprise to many
to learn that fewer than fifty-five peo-
pie in every thousand are more or
less cOlOr-b1ind. The cOmmOnest form
of color-blindness is nOt-as Is usually
supposed-the inability to distinguish
red and green. That affects one per-
son in fifty-five. The most usual
symptom is to get mixed between blue
and green. One person in sixty cam
not distinguish between brown and
green. COlOr-blindness is more COM
mon among educated than among un-
educated people, and Is far more usual
among men than women. Only about
one woman in a thousand is badly
color-blind. A very odd fact is that
musicians are more liable to this affec-
ton than any other class or profess
sion. Illness may cause color-blind-
ness. There is case Of woman
who became entirely color-blind after
a form of ear disease, while signal
man who had suffered from lock. jaw
or tetanus became equally unable to
distinguish color.

No particular comments have been made as to the accuracy of the players, but certainly many were impressed with the somewhat novel and decidedly in dividual styles of deuvery of each of the contestants. Since three of the contestants were from Phoenix, Phoe- nix was we'll represented and carried off most of the honors.
 Or. T. N. Kearney Talks.
 The most interesting feature of the visit was an address by pr. T. H. Rear ney, who has been working on Amer ican-E Egyptian cotton since it's intro duction in 1901. and who was the origi- nator of the Pima and Yuma varieties. The substance of Dr. Kearney's address follows.
 "The behavior of Pima cotton under our experiments soon after the variety was first isolated, and our experience with it under commercial conditions, has demonstrated the remarkable pur- ity of the variety and it's habit of yield ing few off-type plants. Consequently. we did not expect deterioration in the purity of our seed supply as long as care was used in keeping fields suffi- ciently isolated from other varieties, and proper provisions were made to prevent admiXture at the gins.
 Fortunately, there was a co-opera- tive organization formed at Tempe by a representative group of cotton grow CTS, who included as one of the func- tions of the Tempe cotton exchange the perpetuation of a supply of pure plant ing seed for the valley. Many of the details incident to substituting Pima for the old Yuma variety and perpetu- ation of pure Pima seed were turned over to the cooperative farmers asso- citation by the United States depart ment of agriculture. A field of 40 acres or more has been rogued every season and all off-type plants removed.
 Big Increase in Acreage.
 This field has been sufficiently iso- lated to prevent contamination from outside sources and the gin has always been carefully cleaned before seed cot ton from this field has been ginned The season following rogueing, seed from this field has been distributed tc a number of the substantial growers throughout the Tempe district, as faI as possible in a solid block, for multi | plication and use as general planting seed the next year. Thus the entire valley was supplied with this pure seed | the second season from rogueing until | the 1920 planting season.
 'In 1920 the valley was faced with g | peculiar problem due to the enormous l increase in cotton acreage and to un- favorable seasonal conditions which ne | cessitated a great amount of replant- | ing. The demand for planting seed therefore, was greater than the supply

DRILL GROUNDS IS
 TOWN GIFT ID TROOP

That the city of Williams has given the national guard organization at that place forty acres of land for drill and stable grounds was the word brought to Phoenix yesterday by Adjutant Gen eral Walter $. Ingalls,. on his return from a three days absence in the north on an inspection trip.
 Colonel Ingalls, was enthusiastic in his praise of the fine spirit shown in Williams where the men have signed up in Troop c, First Cavalry. Arizona National Guard At a recent election the troop elected Albert NJ. Root Jr., as captain, Jerry W. Lee as first lieutenant, and Chasles M. Proctor as second lieutenant
 With the splendid organization and gift of the grounds the people of Will Hams are now eager to build an ar mory. said the colonel who brought the additional news from that town that Dr. Clyuer D. Jeffries of that place had just received his appointment as first lieutenant in the medical reserve corps.

and 1t was necessary to plan consider able oil mill seed. The latter proved to be contaminated to a considerable extent with seed of the old Yuma va riety and short staple cotton, as well as numerous hybrids. While there is not enough admixture of this off-type cotton to ser.ously direct the quality of the staple of this years crop, yet the purity of the seed supply for the valley is seriously jeopardized unless radical steps are taken to correct the condition.
 Plan Is Formed.
 Consequently, a plan has been worked out whereby it is believed that sufficient pure Pima planting seed can be secured for 1921 to plant 15O,00 acres. This plan must receive the SUD- port of the entire cotton industry of the Salt River valley if it's details are to be successfully applied. It includes selection and inspection of as many large acreages as possible of pedigreed Pima seed, the cotton from which is to be carefully ginned in plants devoted exclusively to ginning pedigreed seed. Due precautions are to be taken to insure a reasonable germination and a certification tag is to be attached evil dencing the source and purity of the seed. 1nlS seed, or course, must be made available to all the gins for dis tribution, which must be restricted to the Salt River valley, unless there ap- pears to be a surplus. Details of the plan have been and are being worked out by a pure seed committee of the Maricopa county farm bureau and ar engagements have largely been com pleted.
 Tn view of the deterioration of num- berless excellent varieties in other long staple districts, the importance of get ting back to a pure seed basis can hardly be overstated.''
