high authority. mans duty was to
obey. He had no need to trouble
himself about the end he sought Blu,
with the ceasing of hostilites this
was changed, and therein lies one OF
the sources Of the confusion and dis
Indignation that has followed the
armisticc in all the countries engaged
in the war and in almost every field
Of political and industrial life. Unity
Of effort has been succeeded by dis
persion of aims. Men have. no longer
a common object and the people are
cropping in the twilight"
This twilight is surely not destined
to last as long as the war did BY the
time election is over, there will have
been two full years of it, and that
should be enough. There are signs of
the worlds mind clearing somewhat,
and this Is true in the United States
even in the present confusion Of party
POLITICS. 1t seems likely. in fact, that
this presidential campaign itself will
contribute much to the clearing pro-
cess.
The present year should mark the
end OF uncertainty for America, and
next year should see a clean, clear
vigorous facing of the future, with
our war experience as an asset rather
than q liability.

OF the sikuation.
Germany agreed to reduce her army
to a maximum OF 100000 men and
two weeks ago had over 100000 still
under arms, She has delivered none
of the airplanes she promised and has
an air personnel Of 5000 men still mo-
bilized. she should have less than
1000 machine guns. and has $4,000.
Her legitimate stock OF guns should
consist of not more than 2O4 light

has no les than $4,000 guns still
known to be In her possession, with
thousands more suspected.

cannon right under the noses Of allied
inspectors. Recently there were dis
covered in the Krupp works at Essen,

ammunition wagons and hundreds of
shell cases hidden from the allied con-

small arms are known to be stored in
secret, all OF which should have been
turned over to the Allies for destruc-

1t Is no W. .er that France still
fears Germany. and Is insistent on
strict enforcement of the treaty terms.
American sentiment. though silenced
at present by lack Of official machin-

AMERICA MUST TAKE
MIDDLE COURSE, IS
VIEW OF H. HOOVER

NEW YORK, May 14.-Herbert G.
Hoover, replying by telegraph Thurs
day to the request of the Hoover Re.
publican club OF Portland, Ore, for
his views on various matters arising
In the Oregon primaries" declared
the Republican party must support
the league with reservations.
1T must not fall into the trap that
President Wilson and Senator Hiram
W. johnson are enticing it into" he
added.
The president has declared" Mr..
Hoover said. that the Democratic
party must demand the acceptance OF
the league in full as presented by him
to the Senate. Senator johnson de-
mands that the Republican party OPP
pose the league altogether. A more
destructive attitude toward a great
issue could not be found.
IAN emergency is created by this
alliance of destruction The aspiraH
lions Of the great majority OF our
people will be thwarted by either OF
these extremes. This majority Is fixed
in its determination that the United
States, both for our own protection
and in the interest OF the welfare OF
the world, shall join the league by
ratifying the treaty, which provides
for substitution Of methods OF peace
for methods of war, but that we shall
do so only under assurance Of no In
tringement of our constitution and
our traditions.
The inflexible attitude Of the Presi-
dent and his supporters and OF Sen
ator johnson and his supporters has
brought this issue into the election at
an Unreasonable moral and economic
cost to our own country and to the
world. If the Republican party, how
ever, is to voice the will of the people
and is not to forfeit the certainty OF
leadership in the next four years 1t
must embrace the great opportunity
which the majority of the American
people are prepared to give it.

Referring to Oregon and California

consider that these lands offer them
an opportunity to obtain desirable

Scores of ex-service men who have
come to Oregon keen for settlement
ON quarter sections Of the 100000
acres OF Oregon and California rail-

Careless Shampooing
Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkili. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is Null
sifed cocoanut oil shampoo (Which is
pure and greaseless), and is better
than anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub
it in. It makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily.
removing every particle OF dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky. bright, lustrous. fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get Mulsifed cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and few ounces will supply
every member of the family for
months. -Advertisement.

WASHINGTON, July 1O.--Recogni.
ton Of the Mexican Government by the
United States has not been retained Of
delayed by reason Of the sporadic out
breaks by former Carranza adherents

1t is believed that Senior Don lyle
sias Caideron, the Mexican high com
missioner, here, who again conferred
with Acting Secretary of State Nor
man Davis yesterday, has laid before
this government assurance that the
rebel forces in Mexico would soon be
under complete control, and that the
present outbreak would not be ex.
tended to other states than those now
involved.
Senior Calderon is understood to have
placed before the department addition
al information of the character and
purpose of the new regime upon his
visit yesterday, and to have been as
sured that as soon as evidence can be
furnished this government that the re-
forms contemplated by the De La
Huerta government have actually been
accomplished or started, the United
States would give serious considera-
tion to the request of Mexico for full
resumption of diplomatic relations.
That the actual recognition Of the
new Mexican Government is being de-
layed because President Wilson does
not desire to take precipitate action

SHEEPHERDERS WIN
 IMPORTANT CASE

A most important decision affecting sheep and cattle men of the state was rendered by Judge Stanford at Phoe- nix Wednesday morning, when he de- cided that Romero and Somero, sheep herders charged with allowing sheep to trespass on a cattle range, were not guilty. The defendants were repre- sented by Attorney c. Purdy Bullard, and County Attorney Laney conducted the prosecution.
 Judge Stanford's decision was to the effect that where sheep have ranged for years without protest from cattle men in a cetain district, that district no longer can be called an exclusive cattle range, and the law relating to the moving of sheep at certain rate of speed across a cattle range no long CT applies. By this decision, Judge Stanford classified all the territory ly- ing between Cave creek and New river as open to both cattle and sheep. Therefore, he found the two sheep who are in the employ of

After learning where Vesente Delgeadillo had sold some liquor in Mesa, Deputy Pickens trailed him to tent house on the desert, where he found more whiskey. He arrested three men.
 Deputy Pickens then notified Mir. Broshears and they returned to the place the following day. About 150 yards from the house they unearthed a milk can cooker and a coil and ar rested Marciana Mendosa.

BANTY TELLS OF
 AN UNDISCOVERED SECRET

Thirty years ago the writer public ly predicted air navigation; not with
 balloons, as they were merely toys of the winds, but upon the invention of a light motive power that would furnish the necessary speed, air navigation will then become an accomplished fact. This has been done in a man. ner, yet there remains another factor , in air navigation, and almost vital one, the undiscovered secret" , Momentum is annihilable, as it ac- tually annihilates weight or gravita- tion, in exact radio with each. As an illustration, locomotive weighing one hundred tons can attain velocity enough to become as Tight as feath- er," it's speed having annihilated weight or gravitation. Here is a mathematical equation that enters in to the problem of the undiscovered se- cret."
 Anyone observing the flight of wild geese, eagles, buzzards, albatross, or | the condor, may have noticed that those heavy birds use their wings only to gain certain momentum; after which their flight is continuous, and without further Tapping of the wings. As matter of fact, it would be utter ly impossible for those birds, with their immense spread of wings, to con- tinuously flap their wings, as they would become exhausted within two or three minutes. In this fact lies the great Undiscovered secret" which re- mains for the genius of man to solve. This secret discovered and applied to aviation, will revolutionize our present aviation service, and solve the prob lens of commercial industries and other business. Then will man become monarch of the air; and, his motive power be used only to gain proper amount of momentum, his flight can be maintained an indefinite length of time.-A. F. Banta, in Prescott Cour- fer.
