 Construction of the plant, the only one of its kind in the world, and at cost of approximately $5,00O,0OO, was started during the world war, following a series of experiments conducted by army and navy experts here and at Petrolia, Texas. Beyond the fact that non-infla5nmable, non- explosive gas had been developed, the results of the experiments have re- mained a secret. The helium plant, since its construction started, has been under military guard. A naval lieutenant is in command.

HELIUM PLANT
 NEARLY DONE IN TEXAS

NANTUCKET, Mass, March 18- Short of fuel and having waged a grim battle with sickness and death from influenza while isolated by 30 miles of impossible ice, the people oi Nantucket are emerging from what they call the hardest winter they ever experienced.
 They are used to isolation by ice but this year the shortage of fuel, coupled with the influenza caused hardship and suffering. A fleet of schooners chartered to bring to the island its winter supplies was storm bound in Long Island sound port in December and by the middle of Feb ruary the coal in the hands of dealers on the island was exhausted. There after coal was loaned by the hodful from one family to another and sup plies of it ill summer cottages were taken by permission of the owners. Thus the people keep from freezing until, early in March, a coast guard cutter broke a passage through the ice and lowed a coal-laden schooner to Nantucket.
 The fishing fleet was frozen in the harbor for two months beginning at Christmas.

ROANOKE, Va, March 17.-De- claring the republican party stands first for the honest, efficient and economical business admistration of the country's affairs" Will Ii. Hays, chairman of the republican national committee, in an address before the state republican convention here to- day, pleaded for patriotism in peace as well as war;" and asserted that the country has slipped along under this democratic administration with out any adequate thought of the prob lems that would confront us until the shock of peace was here, just as we did before we entered the war"
 Outlining the principal things for which his party stands, Mr. Hays said:
 "I suggest that above all things the republican party stands first for honest, efficient and economical busi- ness administration of the country's affairs. It was formerly said that honesty is the best policy as mat ter of business. Honesty is the best policy as a matter of morals In like manner there is but one kind of sue cessful politisc, of faithful, efficient, honest and economical administra- ton. The only successful politics in the situation today is to find out what is best for the country and do it first We want more men in politics for what they can give and not what they can get.
 T suggest the republican party stands for the development and eX- ecution of a plan for the reduction of taxes, with the repeal of taxes which kill initiative and the spreading of war debt over a large number of years.
 " I believe there shall be developed a better relation between labor and capital with justice to both and with justice to the public and third side of the triangle which must not be. forgotten"
 Asserting that there are two natur al inquiries from women new in poli-I tics, what does the republican party offer the women? And what does the republican party stand for?" Mi. Hays declared:
 The republican party offers theI women everything we offer the men.
 The only just rule for a political party" he added, lis that the rights of participation in the management of the party's affairs must be and re- main equally sacred and sacrcdly equal. The republican women i'll the country constitute one half of the 4 party's membership. In many states this has long been so. In the presi- dental campaign of 1920 it is my very earnest hope and well-founded judg- ment that il shall be so everywhere. |

LAWYERS ENJOY BANQUET ON SUBJECT OF CHANGE
 IN THE BAR ASSOCIATION
(Fram Fridays Da1ly.)

The attorneys of Prescott and Je- rome endeavored last evening to prove that despite all things, they have friends. Before any advance news of the nature of the menu had got beyond the confines of the ca terers' kitchen, the lawyers had succeeded iR scraping up some guests, most of whom had arrived at the point of attack upon the victuals with vast punctuality.
 A little after 6:3O, three dozen hungry individuals sat down in the Owl banquet room. Of these, 20 were Prescott attorneys and four were from Jerome.
 No attempt was made at gayety or speechmaking for nearly an hour. Having heard that the program in- cluded 14 addresses and no drinks, everyone tried to enjoy as long as possible the delectable viands But the food, necessarily, could not hold out. Its early exhaustion was in- evitable. The time had to come sooner or later when the learned counsel must get down to cases.
 George w. Nilsson as mayordomo of the affair, called upon R. E. Nor rison for report on the construc- ton of a new constitution and by laws for the proposed Yavapai County bar association. MT. Morri- son objected, saying 1t should be read later. E. s. Clark also objected, holding that the matter should be read by title. and that in view of certain changed conditions, he would suggest that the name of the asso- ciation be Yavapai County LAW association, instead of BAR associa- ton.
 Although there was no court to limit debate, the remarks on the sub ject were short. It was contended that the lawyers should and should not abandon the time-honored old Northern Arizona Bar association one said it might be misinterpreted by certain litigants who have a $lOO,O0O libel suit pending against members.
 Neil Clark favored the formation of county bar association. It was time, he declared that the lawyers band themselves together so as to make themselves felt in the state legislature and elsewhere; their power was needed in certain quar- ters.
 After considerable light had been thrown on the situation, it was deemed advisable to refer the matter

SOME OBSERVATIONS ON THE ORIENT BY
 MARINE SERGEANT
CFrom Fridays Daily)

The Chinese ricksha coolie can seemingly put forth more speed sweat more and cover less ground ] than any other mortal imaginable, according to Sergeant John L. Lit tie of the Marine Corps recruiting station, Phoenix. The Marines should know, for their service takes them to many strange lands and stranger peoples.
 If you will take the ricksha mans word for it, there is no place in the world where one will meet as many old acquaintances whom he never knew before as in a mob of unem- ployed ricksha coolies.
 As the sea soldier arrives in Chinese city he is handed the keys to the town by thousand, more or less, Of these human taXis, each swearing that he knew you from the day you and he went to the little red brick schoolhouse together.
 After being assisted from your sampan to the dock by all the will ing hands that can find space on you, it is advisable to get into the first ricksha you see, for he who hes itates is lost.
 Bret Harte must have had some Chinese ricksha coolie in mind when he gave out that Ways that are dark and tricks that are vain" spell.
 Upon receiving their fare some of them immediately palm the good piece of coin with which they have been overpaid, and shove forth al counterfeit coin with the injured cry, "Blass, blass" or else try to! convince you and the passersby that he has been cheated.
 For this there is only one rem edy-take the coin he offers to re- turn, insert it in your pocket, face nor nor'west, place him immedia- tely in front of you facing in the same direction, and then gently but firmly describe all arc of circle with the right foot, momentum of said foot being in the neighborhood of nine knots, so that its course of swing will be interrupted by the re- zion of his hip pocket.

 EFFICIENT GOVERNMENT

this country two political parties and both must be strong and virile, Mir. Hays said:
 "I do not ask that all women be- come republicans"
 ITO which party you belong is of less consequence than that you be- long to some party" he said. q would rather a woman join with our opponents than belong to no party
 Of patriotism in politics he de- c1ared:
 q have no use for the individual who is either too busy or too good to help. He has no just complaint to make, whatever happens. He is riding on another's ticket. l have an abiding faith that there will be an awakened sense of civic duty as a by-product fthis war"
 Expressing the belief that the country's problems are largely econ .omic ones, Mir. Hays pointed out that the industrial difficulties in this country, which he said at the moment to be overwhelming, "can be and have explicit faith will be solved in one way-by finding exact justice and enforcing ii"
 The republican party" he said, from its inception has stood against undue liberalization of industries and activities. There must be strong federal regulation, but not govern ment ownership"
 Referring to the American soldiers in the war with Germany, Mir. Hays said:
 The republican party will never forget the debt we owe to the soldiers who have won this war We used to hear: Food will win the war, Liberty bonds will win the war, thrift stamps will win the war" They did not. They all helped to win, but the war was won by the fighting men at the fighting front and in no other way. And the party appreciation ot our soldiers will be remembered"
 In closing MT. Hays appealed to his hearers to find disloyalty if there be any in the land and scotch it; find dishonesty if there be dis honesty and crush it; find the right and cleave unto 1t.
 Keep your eyes raised, Americans but keep your feet on solid ground, he exclaimed.
 Find the reason for discontent, and meet it squarely; correct the cause where there IS a cause and destroy the excuse where it is an excuse only. Give every well behaved man and woman their equal ity of opportunity and require from them their full measure of accaunt- ability" |
