THE BOOM Err.

The "booster" or the "boomer" OF
whatever you may choose to call him
has his various ways. It's a political
ambition, sometimes, that he nurses
along, or winter resort, or a tonic
void of alcohol but tasting like it,
or even a book. One such confdes to
us that during the last two years over
100000 words have been written
about certain author; of these such
and such a percentage were disyl-
tables, trisyllables, polysyllables and
the like. Of that strangely mis-
called public utility, the street car
service, millions of words have been
spoken in the same time of which
close to 100 per cent were mono
syllables, the same beginning with a
"big, big D."-Louisville Herald.

DEMOCRATS HAVE
AIDED THE FARMERS

The farmers Of our country
should seriously consider the differ
ence between the planks in the Re-
publican platform and the Demo-
cratic platform respecting their par
ticular welfare, and especially the
following from the Democratic plat
form:
Tor nearly half a century Of Re-
publican rule not a sentence was
written into the Federal Statutes af-
fording one dollar of bank credits to
the farming interests Of America. In
: the first term Of this Democratic Adj
ministration the National aBnk act
was so altered as to authorize loans
Of five-years' maturity on improved
farm lands. Later was established
a syste moi farm loan banks from
which the borrowings already exceed
$3O0,O00,OO0 and under which the
interest rate to farmers has been so
materially reduced as to drive out

The Republican leaders at Wash
ington have faile dutterly to pro-
pose one single measure to make ru-
raj life more tolerable. They have
signalied their fifteen months Of
congressional power by urging
schemes which would strip the farms
of labor; by assailing the principles
of the farm loan system and seeking
to impair its efficiency; by covertly
attempting to destroy the great nj
trogen plant at Muscle Shoals, up
on which the Government has ex-
pended $7O,OOO,OO0 to supply Amer
lean farmers with fertilizers a trea-
sonable cost; ruthlessly gripping

endeavor, literally gripping the pro-

DESERT BEGINS TO BLOOM
Cultivation Has Already Begun In Spot
Where All Was Bare . Short
Time Ago.

Travellers through the Great
American desert find great enjoy
ment and added attraction when they
come across hocks Of wild horses. AS
the horses notice the motorist they
pause for a moment, with heads up,
names unkempt, and tails blowing in
the wind, and then tear off to the
north, with the cattle, less wild, that
are grazing in the desert, tagging be-
hind them.
1t is said that that is the free life
of the horse. He is racing off not
because he is afraid, but because he
is free. While the motorist enjoys
the desert, and has these horses for
an added attraction, there are indi-
cations that the wild wanderers will
soon give way before civilization. AL
ready there are the first indications
that this desert will some day bud
and blossom as the rose. Even at
Blue Eagle, where there is a single
hut made out of old cans and where
gasoline is rs cents a gallon, there is
a windmill that is retaining a plot
of excellent soil. Each of the dozen
houses has its well, its spring, or its
streamlet trickling from the treeless
ravine in the mountain behind it.

UT THE STREET CURFEW SHIN n WARN ALL YOUTH
Observance of Law to Keep Boys and Girls of Phoenix Off Streets After 9 P. M.
 Urged as Real Necessity

Believing that there is a decided need here for the enforcement of a IuFleW law, an effort will be made in lhls city to have the old bell ring out at o'clock as a signal for all boys ana girls under the age of Is to be at nome, or if on the streets, in the GUS tody of their parents.
 Complaints that the young people or PhoenlX are out at all hours or the night have been lodged with various organizations and finally the matter Was put in the form of d challenge to the w. c. T. U.
 Mrs. r.. B. Stevens, president of the local union and a member of the state executive board. has accepted the chaI- lenge- She stated yesterday that she intended to investigate the old curfew law and if iL is in effect will ask the officials why it is not being carried out If not a law, it is understood that the w C. T. L. will appear before the commission and ask that an ordinance be passed similar to that which was in force in Phoenix years ago. It is gen. orally conceded that the young people of the city have too much liberty and it is believed that if the curfew was in effect, there would be fewer cases in the juvenile courts.
 All Favor Law
 Numerous people of the city, parents, fathers and mothers were questioned yesterday as to their opinion Of the necessity of curfew to notify the young people that it was time for them to be off the streets, and every one, without exception, favored the revivinS Of the old law, if there is one, and the adoption of a. new one, if necessary.
 There has been great carelessness recently among parents in permitting their children to go on the streets after 2 o'clock at night, it was reminded Juvenile court officials state that one of the greatest factors in bringing boys into the juvenile courts is the habit of being on the streets at night where trouble turks.
 Children who are seen on the streets at a late hour at night come from two classes of families" said Y NJ C. A. official yesterday They either are from families where the parents are unable to control them or who make no attempt to.
 'sThe curfew law will serve two pur- poses It will assist the parents who wish to keep their children off the streets. but are unable to. and it will compel the indifferent ones to comply with the law The sounding of the curfew bell may be called silly and childish by some. but it does a real service and is needed in every city, 1 Phoenix included.'

MESSAGE SPRAYS; DID NOT GET JOB; SO SUES

Declaring that failure on their part to deliver a telegram lost him a posi- ton as teacher of science in the high school at Winslow. Arizona, Arthur l.. Phelps yesterday brought suit against the Western Union Telegraph com pany, asking for a judgment of $72S. Phelps alleges that while in Los An geles on June 22, 1919, hea received a letter from C. c. Grover, superintend- ant of the schools at Winslow, offering him the position, and says that he answered at once by a message which he filed in the Western Union office at Los Angeles accepting the offer and asking that the contract be sent to Glendale, Arizona.
 In August, 1919. he says, he learned from a letter which he received from Mir Grover that the message he sent from Los Angeles never had been re- ceived by Mir. Grover. and in copse- quence the school board in Winslow had employed another teacher. The lateness of the season, Phelps alleges, caused him to accept job teaching in Ajo at a salary $660 under what he would have received at WinsIow, and adds that he paid a teachers agency S6S to secure the place.
