The PROFESSOR COVERS A FIRE

THE PROFESSOR COVERS A FIRE
BY way of doing his bit to dignity

Northwestern University professor

"Piece by piece the furnishings of

my family and myself to dinner.
"It would, in deed, be difficult to
estimate with exactness the damage of
the fire ravages, but the loss might at
a conservative estimate be placed at

SALE OF STATE SCHOOL LAND

At Florence, Monday, March %,
1920, the State Land Department will
offer for sale the South Half of Sec
tion SO, Township 9 South, Range Is
East. This tract has been subdivided
into lots of various sizes running from
about one to three acres each.
This tract was suEdivided upon the
request of many applicants who de-
sire to purchase lots for residential
purposes in the country.
This land lies in the foot hills of
the Catalina Mountains and adjoins
the town of Oracle on the South. The
elevation is about 1900 feet above sea
level, which insures a cool Summer
climate. The distance from Tucson
is 80 miles and from Florence Sc
miles. Winkelman is 38 miles dis
tant. The roads are excellent.
The lots to be sold have been To-
Gated with regard to the topography
and are, therefore, irregular and pleas
ing in shape. A complete road sys-
tenn has been reserved whereby any
lot may be accessible. The tract is
generally wooded by a fine growth of
oak trees and presents a fine picture
to those who live in the hot valleys of
the State.
Each lot corner is marked with a
metal stake with it's number stamped
thereon. The appraised value of the
land has been fixed at the rate of
$25.00 per acre, to which $773 per
acre has t'een added to cover the cost
of subdivision, surveys, etc.
The lots will be sold at public auc-
ton and one lot only will be sold to
any person, corporation, or associa-
ton.
The cost of subdivision and twenty
five per cent of the bid must be paid
in cash at time of sale,-the balance|
to be in three equal annual install
ments bearing interest at five per
cent, or the whole may be paid inI

views on certain questions of the
greatest moment to the state
A Regular Democrat
I am a democrat-not a conditional
nor yet an elaborated democrat, but
one for whom the name and that for
which it stands are good enough-one
who believes. with the faith of reli-
gion, in the basic principle of the
equal rights of all and who abhors
special privilege in all it's forms
l cling to the old-fashioned theory
that public office is a public trust,
not private snap, and that gov
ernment of, by and Cor the people can
te predicated upon no contrary plan.
AS governor of Arizona, should l be
so highly hcnored, ii shall be my
pride to be the servant of all the peo-
pie, jealous of their rights, Jealous
for their welfare responsive to their
will.
Will "Shoot Square"
It follows that am and shall be the
candidate of no man, group, clique or
clan element or interest, and in the
performance Of the duties of the of
flee to which | aspire shall know
none of these. God directing the way,
I shall do my duty as see it, without
fear or favor. To "shoot square,
and Straight-Shall be nv constant
aim.
For Law and Order
AS law and order are the chief bull
warks of society, the mainstays of or
ganized civilization, l stand for their
strict observance and enforcement
Progress there must be in the world,
and readjustments to keep step with
Civilizations natural growth, the
broadening Of mankind's horizon, the
quickening of mankind's conscience.
But there is no royal road, no safe
shortcuts to the millennium. The
true course is by way of enighten-
ment. Law and order are the certain
guide posts.
Likewise and in turn the laws en-
forcement must be itself secured by
laws orderly processes, which need
never be, nor yet held to be, insuffi-
cient. The assumption of power above
the law, as well as lack of confidence
in the laws efficacy and impatience
of it's delays, breeds a peril more dan
gerous to society than the commonest
and most direct transgression of the
statutes.
Vital to that enlightenment upon
which mans healthy development de-
pends, and essential to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness" are
freedom of the press and freedom of
speech, thought and belief. To deny
these would inevitably lead to des-
potism.
"Purest Patriotism" Essential
However, all the virtue which these
inalienable rights possess depends
upon the purest patriotism and un-
swerving loyalty to state and nation.
Utterances and acts expressive of dis
loyalty, or which are designed to un
dermine and tear down the structure
reared by the fathers with a wisdom
and skill which shall continue to com
mand the admiration and veneration
of the ages, constitute not the liberty
for which we contend, tut a license
to permit or sanction which would
prove destructive to the peace and
happiness of the people, bring anar-
chy and chaos in it's wake and end in
a nations decay.

Yuma, Ariz, March Ex-senator
Milford Winsor of Yuma county today
formally entered the race for the dem
ocratic nomination for governor Of
Arizona. In a letter addressed to
George S. Babbitt Of Flagstaff chair
man of the state democratic commit
tee, he declared that he had decided
to permit the use of his name at the
primary to he held September z, and
in considerable detail set forth his
views ION certain questions of the
greatest moment to the state"
The full text aof Senator WinsoFs
letter follows:
Hon. George S. Babbitt, Chairman
State Democratic Committee, Flag
staff, Arizona:
Dear Mr.. Babbitt:
| have the honor to advise you that
have decided to permit the use of
my name at the coming September
primaries, as candidate for the dem
ocratic nomination for governor of
Arizona.
Although this announcement is
made only after the most careful de-
liberation and upon the suggestion of
many democrats of the highest stand
ing in my home county and through
out the state, give it publicity with
more than little reluctance and not
without serious misgivings, for pro-
foundly conscious as | am of the re-
sponsibilities which the step involves,
it would be strange indeed if there
did not visit my mind grave doubts
of my ability to creditably discharge
them
Upon the man who shall be chosen
as democracy's flag bearer in the ap-
preaching campaign will deyolve the
manifold duty not merely of expound-
ing and defending the traditional faith
and of so presenting the live and act
i've issues as to render clear the right
of the democratic party to popular
confidence, but what is perhaps fully
as important from the standpoint OF
party vitality and morale, he must
follow course that will win the trust
and insure the whole-hearted support
of every sincere democratic voter
Furthermore, as chief executive
for have not the slightest doubt that
the choice Of the democratic primaries
will be Arizona's chief executive dur
ing the next two years-he must JUS
tify the faith Of his friends, vindicate
the party's judgment, command the
respect of all worthy citizens, and by
his administration of public affairs
bring to the state tranquility and
prosperity at home, honor and credit
abroad
The standard thus fixed, particu-
larly in view of the troubled and I'M
certain conditions prevailing through
out the nation, and the many vital
matters insistently pressing for ad-
sessed of far more than my measure
of f-confdence, but I cannot lower
the standard to relieve my anxiety or
tanish my fears. | can only place my
trust, should l be chosen as the dem
ocratic nominee, in the Power which |
guides the destiny Of all mankind and |
confers upon His humblest instru
ments the strength wherewith to do |
His will.
1t is proper, in announcing my can
didacy, that l should reaffirm the car
dinal tenets which throughout my lifeI
have formed the foundation Of my po- |;
litical faith, and briefly set forth my

"kEEPlNG FAITH"

Let US strive," said Lincoln, "to
care for him who shall have borne
the battle" Half century later we
promised to care for those who should
bear a still greater battle. We
planned to do it in a particularly wise
and generous way. Instead of pen
sioning derelicts with a pittance, we
purposed to rehabilitate them so far
as possible, SO as to restore them to
at least some measure of useful activ-
ity, indemnifying them for the loss
occasioned through any incurable less
ening of efficiency. In speaking of
this fine undertaking, President Will
son said:
"This nation has no more solemn
obligation than healing the hurts of
our wounded and restoring our dis
atled men to civil life and opportu-
nifty. The government recognizes this,
and the fulfillment of the obligation
is going forward, fully and generous
ly. 1t is merely the pay
ment of a draft of honor which the
United States of America accepted
when it selected these men and took
them in their health and strength to
fight the battles of the nation. They
have kept the faith. Now we keep
faith with them"
Those were true and noble words, a
worthy enlargement upon the exhor-
tation of Lincoln more half a century
before; and truly and nobly should
they have been fulfilled. What their
fulfllment has been to date the cur
rent record tells. It has just been set
forth in the New York Evening Post
by Mr.. Harold A. Littledale, the dis
tinguished winner of the Pulitzer
Prize few years ago, a newspaper
man of long experience, and, incident
ally, a veteran himself of the great
war. Mr. Littledale needs no COM
mendations or credentials to attest
his sympathetic and judicious author
ity.
1t was more than nineteen months
ago that the federal board. for voca-
tional education was organized; the
agency to which the president re-
ferred when he said that the work
of rehabilitating injured soldiers was
"going forward fully and generously" :"
1t was more than fifteen months ago
that the armistice' brought the war
to an end. There were more than
100000 soldiers injured in the war
More than 100000 of these were so
tadly injured that they were regis
tered as disabled Of these, fully no.
900 are recognized to be eligible for
training under the benefcent activi
ties of the federal board for vocational
training. Bear we'll in mind these
figures of time, and of numbers of
men, and estimate fully and gener-
ously" how many of the 10000 have
actually been placed in training and
how many have been placed in gain
full employment, in which they are
able at least partly to maintain them
selves and those dependent upon
them. Remember, eve keep faith

Milling Go.
(By N. o. Shanks)

Seward county is primarily
wheat and grain country; tHe coun-
ties surrounding it are in the same
class, agriculturally, and Liberal, as
the center of this fertile producing
region is prepared to take care OF the
crops. One of the largest institu-
lions of its kind in this section is the
Light Grain and Milling Company,
with elevator, mill and ware house
here; one at Hooker, and now Install
ing another one which vii cost S25,-
900 and be of concrete; an elevator
and warehouse at Tucumcari, New
Mexico; one at Beaver, Oklahoma; at
Bloom, Kansas; Tyrone, Oklahoma
and one at Hopewell, Kansas.
Last year it was necessary to dou-
BILE the size of the plant at Liberal
owing to the increased business they
are now getting ready to enlarge the
flour mill capacity from 25O barrels
per day, twenty-four hour shift to
800 barrels per day.
Last year they put in new track
scale at the mill here having a capa-
city of one hundred tons which Will
weigh grain in car load lots; they also
extended their track $50 feet, and
put in two new 1850 capacity steel
fuel oil tanks. Plans are now under
way to build a modern office.
We give you these features for two
reasons: to show you the rapid and
continuous growth of this grain and
milling company, as well as to prove
the agricultural growth of the coun-
try it serves.
Charles NJ. Light established this
elevator at Liberal in 1915 and the
mill in 1918. 1t is one of the chief
industries and establishments Of the
county, big advertising asset to the
country.
Lights Best"-that's the name
of the mill products flour with
a satisfactory rating. Simplicity in
manufacturing has led us in our de-
termination to keep in line with the
great progress of the country. Our
mill is a modern simplitied factory.
The men who run our mill are eX-
perts; they know their work. They
constantly watch every stage in the
manufacture of the flour, so that
every sack is just alike.
Lights Best" is shipped from
coast to coast'to many parts of the
country. When the new season starts
the mill will have general saleman-
ager, as we'll as representatives on
the road
A good feature of this company is
their grain department. They have
big local grain business as well as
a wholesale car lot business. Last sea-
son when the farmers were unable to
secure cars, the Light Grain and Mill
ing company were able to handle
their product, grind it into flour and
then ship it to the markets in the
form of flour as plenty of flour cars
could be gotten. Last season this
firm took 1900 to 14OO bushels daily
this wey; they expect this to increase
the coming season.
Again this company knows that
they can take the farmers crop, turn
it into food product at better price
than they can wholesale it in Kansas
City and shi it back.
Mr. C. M. Light is at the head of
the institution. l. R. Salley is gen.
eral manager.

Weather conditions were quite favor
able during the week for outdoor farm
work and much was accomplished, al
though the soil is somewhat dry In GER
tain localities for the most efficient work
along that lire of operation.
No killing frosts have been reported
since the morning of Oct. 2
The light frosts during the past week
have been beneficial to corn. Not more
than 20 per cent OF the crop is now In
danger of frost damage.
Practically all will be out OF the way
in another week If favorable weather
conditions continue
Cutting and silo flling progressed very
rapidly and is nearly completed In the
north part of the State.
Winter wheat seeding is progressing
very rapidly in the sections where fly
free dates have passed. There is much
talk OF cutting the acreage materially be-
cause of dissatisfac ton with present
prices.
Soil conditions are not as favorable as
desired
Rye seeding is progressing with whea,
and quite substantial increase in acre
age is indicated because this crop with.
stands Hessian fly ravages better than
wheat.
Potatoes are being harvested in all sec.
lions of the State. Yields vary greatly
even in the same localities, put generally
the crop is fair to good, for both white
and sweets.
Clover seed hufling Is nearly finished
Yields In some localities We're very good
especially for Big English and Nam
mouth Red clover generally is poor.
The hurley crop Of tobacco Is very good
both in yield and quality, and Is curing
up nicely, although a little house burn,
Is reported. Some rust damage Is re-
ported in the dark district.
Late varieties OF apples are now being
picked. Most OF the commercial orchards
