NAVAJO COUNTY FAILS TO DIS
TRIBUTE IT'S SHEEP TAX MONEY

Phoenix-That Navajo county has
failed to distribute it's transient herd
moneys on sheep for the last two
years, was the fact developed at a re-
cent conference between the mem
bers of the Navajo county board of
supervisors and the state tax commits
sion
Where sheep and cattle range from
one county to another, it is custom
ary for the owner to file affidavits
showing the number of head ranged
in the various counties for each
month in the year The tax on the
animals is then paid to the county
treasurer of the county in which the
owner has his residence, and distri-
buted in conformity with the affida-
Wits.
This distribution has not been made

Maricopa county and Pinal are among
those who are holdig the sack In
the meantime some of the Navajo
county sheep men have located what
they term their headquarters ranch
in either Maricopa or PinaI with the
result that considerable confusion has
arisen. This can be eliminated. the
tax commissioners told the Navajo su-
pervisors, if they will make the re-
quired remittance to the state treas
urer to cover the transcient sheep
bands. Surprise was expressed by
the supervisors that such remittance
had not been made and they promised
to conduct an investigation to deter
mine why the county treasurer had
not remitted in accordance with the
law

GIVE TROOPS TO ARIZONA

Phoenix, Nov. 24-Under a new
scheme of organization, outlined at
the late meeting, in San Antonio, of
the Acknowledgement of the south
western states and of the senior
authorities Of the regular army, Ari-
zona becomes part of the Ninth
Corps, within the Third Army New
Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Okla
homa will comprise the Forty-fifth
Division.
An interesting feature of this re-
adjustment is that the division prob
ably will be known as the Naco a
combination of the first letters of the
states embraced. 1t happens also that
Naco is the name of a small town at
which the First Arizona Infantry, lat
er the One Hundred and Fifty-eighth
United States Infantry, spent about
year on outpost duty prior to the
breaking out of the great war.
Under the new order of things re-
commended to the general staff at
Washington. Arizona is to lose. the
squadron of four troops of cavalry
that had been assigned her, but will
keep a battalion of three batteries
of artillery. Two troops of cavalry
already have been organized in Phoe-
nix and two others were in progress
of organization at Tucson and Tempe
Arizona again is to be given the One
Hundren Fifty-eighth Infantry with
regimental headquarters and twelve
Or fifteen companies, to be recruited
and maintained at different points
within the state, this, with the artil-
lery units to succeed the National
Guard known before the war, which
hen comprised twelve companies
within the First Arizona Infantry
Arizona is to have headquarters for
4 brigade of infanty of two regiments,
the second of which, the One Hundred
md Fifty-seventh, is to be in Colora-
10. Colorado is to have headquar-
ters for a regiment of artillery, of
which the first battalion will be an
arizona unit and the second recruited
within it's own state
New Mexico in the tentative dis
ribution, appears to fare rather lily,
ny reason of it's own nonacceptance
# the military units offered it in the
distribution following the war. 1t is
understood that any troops within her
borders probably will be from the
regular establishment, unless there be
subsequent readjustment
Oklahome is headquarters for the
Second Brigade of the Forty fifth
Division and has allotment also of
other arms Of the service
Under the new plans the citizen
loldiery is to have much closer con-
nection than ever known heretofore
with the regular army establishment
In Arizona more than a brigade of
roops would be comprised by the
assembly of the regular troops now

further stated that American artists

ability is sometimes inferior to the
Americans, draw much larger sal

Puss Junior was sorry to leave the Old
Woman Who Lived in a Shoe, but then,
you know, he VIZ traveller, and trav-
eler must not stay too long in any one
place, for If he did he would never get
anywhere. So Puss trudged along and
by and By he met Little Bo Peep, and,
oh. dear me. She was crying as If her
heart would break, for she had lost her
sheep, rou know, and didn't know where
to fud them.
Well tie first thing Puss Junior said
WAS, I'll help you find them" and then
he looked around. But there were no
sheep 70 be seen anywhere. And just
then Little Boy Blue came by blowing
his horn to call the cows from the heIds
Of corn, so Puss asked him whether ne
had seen any lost sheep.
The sheep are in the meadow and the
cows are in the corn, and that is why l
do not cry, but blow my silver horn'
replied Little Boy Blue.
Then Puss and Little 30 Peep nur-
ried down to the meadow, and there, sure
enough, were her sheep.
And now that you have found them,
said Puss Junior, II must be on my
way" and he set of again and by ana

TRUST GOD, KEEP
OUR POWDER DRY

ANNAPOLIS, Md, June 3.-"Trust God
and keep our powder dry" was the ad-
vice given today By Secretary Of Navy
Daniels TO the graduating class of the
naval academy.
Calling upon the youth Of the navy TO
hold to the traditions of the navy, but to
display '1nsistence upon emancipation
from the old things" the secretary said :
"If there is a next Warwick God for
bid-let US keep our powder dry while
We trust in Him.
1.-THE naval hero will be the man
quickest to discover and chart new and
successful channels to victory, ready to
throw In the discard the best weapon OF
the world war.
The navy holds-and holds deservedly
higher place in the confidence OF the
American people than IN any period Of its
history" the secretary said.
I'VE have escaped the naval retrogres-
sion after the world war which fell upon
the country after Appomattox." the sec
rotary declared, 'for, instead of stop
ping the building of new craft. we are
now building eighteen capital ships,
which with scout cruisers and smaller
and newer designs Of craft needed to
round out the feet, viii give the United
States the navy which Dewey said he
would have by 1925"
The secretary declared the greatest
achievement in naval history was the
24O-mlIe mine barrage across the North
sea Of an average width Of twenty five
miles, or more than 5000 square miles, in
the construction OF which our navy laid
sc GIL mines, expended sI9,476,534 and
furnished eighty ships and 1000 officers
and men in preparing, laying and sweep
ing the mines.
THE world can never forget its debt
to naval efficiency which transported and
safeguarded, without loss Of a single life,
the 100000 American soldiers who gave
such preponderance Of fighting strength
to the allies as to insure victory" the
eacratarv eoid
