LOOKING FOR FEATHERS

The more we hear of this proposition to lend Europe

of real men.
Europe wants to feather its nest but we fear it does
not want to resort to manual labor to bring about this
much desired result 1t prefers that the United States
furnish the feathers.
But somehow we are forced to the conclusion that
we have feahered enough nests the other side of the

Then too, Europe is panied at the volume of foreign
trade American manufacturers have built up since the
war began They desire exceedingly to bolster up their
own manufacturing interests and to divert this flow of
yellow metal toward their own empty Golfers
!, But to do this requires money-much money-and
the easiest and simplest way to pluck it from Uncle
But even Uncle himself is becoming skeptical He
has loaned dear friends in Europe billions of dollars
already and he can't collect the interest on the loans

Eleven thousand five hundred persons took advantage of the opportunity to borrow from the government When the war dc pressed the cotton market in 1914 McAdoo raised $l00,000000 through private channels and made loans on cotton for the planters.

 McAdoo strongly advocated aut helped obtain the passage of the pres ent currency, farm loan board and war risk insurance legislation. He made an unsuccessful attempt in 1915 to obtain the passage of a merchant marine bill. He also brought about the first Pan-AmeriCan financial con ference ill 1915 and visited numbei of South American countries in the interest of the present internationa high commission.
 Probably the greatest single accom- plishment during his incumbcncy as secretary of the treasury was his floating of the first four liberty loans. Against virtually the unaui- nous advice of financial authorities he decided to raise the loans by pop ular subscriptions. Some of the best financial talent of the country advised him before the opening of the first liberty loan 10 ask for not more than $S00,000,000 and 10 make the interest rate 5 per cent. He asked for s. 000,000,000 at a 51. per cent rate and the loan was subscribed one and one half times. Tn subsequent loans h' almost invariably offered the bonds at less rates of interest than q ma jority of his financial advisers thought they could be floated, but all of the four loans were oversubscribed.
 When the government took over the railroads, President Wilson made McAdoo director general. His efforts immediately were directed toward turning tho lines into q great war ma chine In December, 1918, shortly after the close of tine war, McAdoo retired from the cabinet moved to New York and engaged in the pracsicc of law.

William Gibbs McAdoo's first rist 10 fame might be called a commuter' $ dream come true. As as unknown New York lawyer shivering twice a day through long winter months while he crossed the Hudson river on ferry boat to his New Jersey homo, he dreamed of a tunnel under the bed of the river through which commut- CTS might pass on trains in comfort And so stanch was his faith in his dream that eventually he transmitted it not into one but three tunnels.
 Later he became secretary of the treasury, director general of railroads and the holder of other offices under the federal governments but ever he has remained in the public mind as the man who accomplished the seem, iugly impossible task of construct ing tunnels under the Hudson river.
 MT. McAdoo was born in Mari eta, Ohio, October 3l, l8o3. His father was William Gibbs McAdoo, 6 veteran of the Mexican and Civil wars. and later superior judge apc adjunct professor of history and Eng fish at the University of Tennessee. His mother was Mary Faith Floyd, daughter of famous Indian fighter and former member of Congress.
 When young McAdoo was about :; year old his parents fell back before the advance of Sherman's army to Milledgevillc, Ga, and there his boy 'Ttc duced the family to want and during the carly reconstruction period the boy was handy around the family place. doing farm chores and helping his mother with her houscwork. So adept did he become at kitchen duties that he still boasts of a surpassins ability to bake biscuits, and in re- cent address to d crowd of schoolboyS he challenged any of them 10 a milk ing contest.
 When, in 1877, the elder McAdoo moved 10 Knoxville, Tenn, to accept profesSorship in inc University Of Tennessee. the boy enrolled as a stu dent, but he left school before Inc was graduated to learn his own living.

DR|LLERS MAKE. GOOD TIME IN
 JEROME MATCH

Machine drilling crews of the United Verde Copper, the United Verde Extension and the Jerome Verde Copper companies of Jerome, had a contest on the Fourth of July that would have been worth seeing.
 ne granite for the contest was ship
 ed over from the granite quarries of Prescott. There were two teams each from the United Verde and the United Verde Extenison and one from the Jerome Verde. The two teams of the United Verde walked off with first and second moneys, and the Jerome Verde also drilled.
 The contest required the drilling oi two five-foot holes by each team, one koie above the bar aud ono below the bar. The set-up and changes had 70 be made by each team.
 The S250 prize was taken by Maya rette and Mayo in II minutes and 21T seconds, all changes, set-ups and 10 feet of drilling done in that time, They drilled their last hole on three changes of steel instead of four as made by all other driilers in all the ho!cs. The second prize of Si5O went to Gcrkovich and Milich in l4 min utes and IS seconds, only ? seconds behind the winners.
 It is said that much money chang ed hands on the event and that 20OU people saw the contest It was one of the hottest contested events ever pulled off. not for the amount oi money, but oil account of the keen rivalry among ihe drilling teams.

third on steer break-away contest In this event a string is tied to tho rope on the horn of the saddle ant the rope is thrown over the steers horns and herded skillfully by tho roper so 1t catches neatly around thS hips of the steer. If the rope were made regularly fast to the saddle horn the steer could be rolled over neatly, but this is not allowed, as il is too easy to break steers neck in this sport, so that strong string is used to tie the rope to the saddle horn, and when the riata tightens the string breaks away; therefore the classical name, steer-oreak-away.
 Everything was fixed and the hat held $500 in $1O bills. The sport was on, and Walter Cline took off the first prize with a score of 101-5 sec onds, and Buster Gardner got away with second money in Il and a frac- ton seconds. Joye NJ. Contreras would have gotten first money, but That was the case with some others They would have got the first or sec ond money, but However, the but" by which Joe missed his prize was more legitimate than usual. He had his steer break away in 7 Is seconds, and was fined five seconds because the string did not break while the pull was being eXerted against the horns. This was slight infraction of the rules not allowed by this exact sport. It cost him $20O and he smiled and said, Let fer buck" This illustrates one thing. Most of these cowboys are real sports and never holler when they sec they have made bad play. They merely cuss their luck and roll an other cigarette.
 Then there was another little mat ter that had to be settled. Bill Gar rett cussed his luck and Waiter Cline told him it was not luck, but poor management, and then the trouble was on, They made up a purse oi $20O and offered to let as many moro as wanted iu come along for another little break-away stunt for an aver age of three steers.
 In drawing the lead, Cline got inc first steer and roped and broke him away according to the rules in 10 3-lC seconds. Garrett had the second steer out, and as luck would have it, his rope slipped off one horn, thus foul ing the throw and leaving the coin for Cline. The crowd ass eed that al least part of the game was luck, as Garrett is acknowledged to be one ot the best men ill Arizona with lariat

Fl G-WILL|AMS ROAD BIDS ARE
 CALLED FOR

PHOENGX, July 7.-The highway commission of Coconino- county and the state engineer are calling for bids for the grading of IS miles of road construction on the Old Trails high way, the work being on the Flagstaff end of the present Williamsburg staff highway. It consists of approx imately 10000 cubic yards of eXca- vation and embankment.
 This is the first work advertised by the highway commission. The construction is to be paid for out of the recent bond issue of Coconino county supplemented by federal aid, which has recently been approved by the secretary of agriculture.
 The work is to be let in two sepa- rate sections, or together, depending upon the result of the bidding, in or der to give large and small contrac- tors an equal opportunity to secure this work.
 The new work will reduce some eight per cent grades to the state standard of six per cent which is low enough to enable the ordinary car to make the grade without shift ing gears.
 Time limit for completion of the work will be taken into consideration ill award of bids as it is desired to have this work all completed before winter.
 In this construction 1t is intended to cut out the trees close to the road and raise the grade in the flat coun- try and on hill sides to stay as much as possible on the south exposure in desire to reduce snow banks. 1 At this time, it is expected that the state will handle the surfacing of the road, as it has, at present, some $75,- 1000 worth of equipment, including trucks, gasoline, shovcls, etc, which can be used on this work without any cost to the project except the repairs necessary. This equipment at present, is working between Vii Hams and Flagstaff on the Williams end of the road. The Flagstaff-Wil- liams highway is the most important road in Coconino county because oi its local use by these communities and those who live Adjacent to the road as well as large number oi cattle and sheep men who use 1t ia looking after their business.
 The Old Trails highway Is carry ing all enormous amount of through automobile traffic at the present time and this IS constantly increasing. Al present, this route is the best trans continental road iu .he United States It is possible, at all times of the year to make the trip with the exception of the highway from about 10 miles east of Flagstaff to 10 miles west ot Williams l. is believed that by i'm proving the road through this sec ton inc possibility of the road being closed on account of heavy snow fal will be greatly decreased.
