Special to The Review)


 KINGMAN. Ariz.. Oct. 19- Last Thursday Anson H Smith address ed a non-partisan meeting of the ladies of Kingman at the courtroom on the subject of the amendments to the constitution and initiative measures that will be on the ballot at the forthcoming election. MT. Smith looked upon all the proposed amendments and proposed laws un- fayorapIy. not even the law giving additional compensation to school teachers receiving his endorsement. Ths measure, he stated, was origi- nally conceived for the benefit of un- derpaid school teachers, but it re- solved itself into a salary grab of no mean proportions.
 Poorly Paid Officials
 Many of the state officers, now receiving a fairly good salary, were boosted 66 2-3 per cent, while the poorlv paid official in counties of the second and third classes were boosted 20 per cent No effort was made to give the poor. underpald clerk or officer an adequate compen' sation. the whole measure losing sight of the school marin in an en- deavor to give the big fellow still bigger salary. It was his opinion that the next session of the les1sia ture would see an adequate measure passed fer the relief of the schooi teachers of the state, and that pro vision would be made to meet the additional expense pending the levy ing of property tax by the counties The enactment should be retroact- i've. the teachers receiving the com pensation that they are entitled to

Recruiting Station.

The intensive drive for recruits for
the United States Army, which has
been conducted in and around Union
City, Tenn, since January 26, will end
March 81. Obion County and surroun-
ding counties have furnished their
share OF men enlisting in the regular
army in this district, and the local
army recruiting station is one OF the
few stations in Tennessee which has
nearly secured the quota allotted for
the entire campaign.
Recruiting details have been stationed
here since the drive was opened. Their
efforts have met with great success.
The soldiers in charge of the local sta
tions have been complimented by the
Recruiting Officers at Nashville for the
work performed in this vicinity.
Every soldier on recruiting duty feels
confident that the required number of
men will oe enlisted before the end OF
the drive. The War Department has
ordered the Army recruited to the
strength authorized by Congress, and
inasmuch as the soldier obeys orders
under any circumstances, without even
questioning the why or whereof, there
fore, the word fail has no connection
with drive conducted by men of the
United States Army.
One feature which is attracting young
men all over the country towards the
Army is the educational and vocation
al courses being offered!in each OF the
camp schools. Practically every trade
Is taught by experts, and the courses
are free to the soldiers. All expenses
incident to the courses OF instruction
are borne by the government, and the
soldier is paid regular salary during
the time he is learning. Upon COM
'ple,ion OF his course, the soldier has
the opportunity to advance rapidly in
the line OF work he studied, thereby
increasing his pay, and in many cases
doubling it.
Any one who doubts it takes a man
to be a soldier" should visit a regular
army post and they will soon be con-
WINGED that the United States Army is
in reality an organization for building
men, making better citizens, educating
and training those who desire it, and
last but not least, training each and
every man to give q good account of the
fighting ability Of The Good Old U. s.
Tin case Uncle Sam should have to
issue an ultimatum to trespassers,

bumper crop of 1917. All but about
1000 cars of the Idaho crop have
moved. Many cars were loaded much
in excess Of 756 boxes. The fruit
throughout the state in Idaho ran
about so per cent extra fancy, 80 per
cent fancy and 20 per cent &C" grade.
Idaho received the lowest price for its
culled fruit of any commercial apple
state, most of it selling for $40 per ton,
including the highest grade of culls.
PEACHES.
The season was favorable for peach
growers with good prices prevailing. A
total of 20S.000 bushels represented a
total value OF $374,400 In 1918
there were only $1,000 bushels valued
at $4,000.
PEARS.
There was little difference in produc-
ton for the two years, II being 6SO00
bushels in 1919 and $4,000 bushels in
1918 valued at $163,200 and s135,000,
respectively.

acres in 1918. Prices are higher than
in 1918, so that the total value OF
S3S,3l2,O00 exceeds 1918 by $3.50. 600.
Feeding was necessary a month earlier
than usual causing some uneasiness
among stockmen, especially in northern
counties where prices are already very
high. Stock shipments out of other
districts have tended to equalize the
hay shortage that existed earlier in the
season.
SUGAR BETS.
This crop had a bad season. A dry,
wintry spring caused mitch receding
and later uncertain water supply
caused further loss. The average yield
was only I61 tons against 1913 tons in
1918. An increased acreage was seeded
but the area harvested was 29,094 acres
compared with $4,000 acres in, 1918.
CLOVER SEED. y
In value per acre, this crop ranks
second in 1919 and 1915. being credited
with Sl56.50 and $i1s.30 per acre. re-
spectiyely, It. is a wonderfully profit
able crop for those who understal
the game. No state equals Idaho's
average yield per acre. Her yield in
1918 was 5.S bushels while the nearest
competitor was Oregon, with bushels
and the United States with Is bushels
Last years yield was bushels per acre
and the United States average lG
bushels. The total clover seed acreage
is segregated as follows.
