BUT 9,0OO DAIRY COWS IN VALLEY;
 ONCE WERE 5.OOO
Hold back the best cows."-Phoe- n:A chamber of commerce.


 Twenty carloads, or about 200 dairy torday by B. F. Harpert. buyer and shipper for a cheese factory at Raton. N M
 The number of dairy cattle n the valley. including everything from the youngest up, is less than 5000 head today. Tn 1916 the number including everything was 75.000 head: in 1917 it was 60,000, and in 1919 it was 30,C00 head.
 Harry W. Pierson, field man for the Pacific Creamery, when asked what was going to be the final result said: Ut appears as if all the cows must go except those for household purposes"
 L. M. Harrison. field agent for the United States bureau of estimates. when asked the same question, said: Estimates are very discoura ging but think a few cows will remain in the valley.'
 The chamber of commerce issued 4 plea to farmers to "hold back the best cows"
 The destruction of the dairy indus try by the advance of cotton appears certain and all that now can be hoped for is that the farmers will hold few of the best cows to fall back on later, is the interpretation of the chamber of commerce plea. It's figures show that since the great exodus" of dairy cows began in 1916 the herds have de- creased at the rate of 200 head a week. That is for a period of practically four and one-half years. Less than 5000 head remain. Shipments from the valley continue.

Senator WaIsh,s Advice

Whatever may have been the closeness of the accord between Governor Cox and President Wilson with respect to the League of Nations, we believe that the advice of Senator Walsh to the candidate approach that subject gingerly, will be needed There are comparatively few people in the United States who are with president in his desire for internationalisrn. His party is plainly not with made manifest whenever there opportunity within the last for democrats in the to express themselves.
 So long the president the head of the crats who stood with him in what he regarded the greatest before the country. and they would have supported him if the advo- cate of still more chimerical the presi- dentzis longer the head party that the shift has been made it will doubt be regarded by the head wise to break away from most unpopular issue.
 It will not be thing to do; the presi- dent cannot be wholly repudiated by the party leader and his advisers. But undoubtedly they have enough political to perceive that they can not burden themselves with idea which hate ful to Americanism. They talk in general about the ratification of the treaty with vationz. stand that may be interpreted to be any wheresbetween the Lodge reservations and the deca- ration of the San Francisco platform in favor of reservations which will only clearly define obligations under the treaty without relieving our selves of of those obligations.
 But certainly the republicans in the the campaign will insist on the people being told precisely what the mean by reservations; to what extent they willing go in preserving our sovereignty unimpaired and the people them selves will demand to know what kind League of Nations the new management of the democratic party wants

Postal Pensions

The commissioners of pensions lately pub- lie the schedules according which employees of the government under service act are to be retired Railway postal clerks post office clerks to retire at the ages and respec- lively while in the other branches service, 70 is set as the retiring The pensions provided for under this act of congress range from a mini mum of $1s0 annually for government service of fifteen years to maximum of s72o for thirty years
 The compensation is admittedly too low and more liberal provisions will probably when the state of the finances permit. Current scales of remuneration in the service do provisions to be made for the days after retirement. Neither are the retiring public sevants able readily to new fields of employment. the pensions sufficient to the of subsistence
 It was fortunate, therefore that retirement wss made contingent upon the desire of the individual and his ability to continue as deter mined by the head of each department office concerned. Efficiency should, however be made the test and not the personal circumstances of the individual in question. The retention employees in the public their days of usefulness have passed has already been responsible for un- measured inefficiency.
 The public service must be put one Of two sound bases: 1t may become industry similar in its conduct and administration to private enter prises in which the remuneration will have to be high enough to permit employees to contribute to an adequate retirement fund. the alternative is adopted and remuneration less than competition rate is paid provision must for the adequate forced to retire. policy midway between the two. top without attracting the ambitious youth at the bottom It is consequently not surprising that inc public complains of inadequate and inefficient service.

Ignatius Loyola, founder of a great church order, died on July 31, 1856, or 364 years ago today. His life is a notable example of the fact that de- termination will do anything He started life as a Spanish soldier, but was so severely wounded that he had to quit the profession of arms. While recovering he resolved to become a power in the church and a saint, de- spite a lack of education. Though 30 years old he went through university and eventually was the head of the So- ciety of Jesus, church organization that still stands as a monument to the indomitable soul of the wounded sol dier

We and . contempor.rx
party wants

We do not like to make comparison between The Arizona Republican and friendly contemporary which may appear to the latter be invidious but we think that it is due the people of the United States and especially the advertisers of the United States to know The Republican has a larger circulation by considerable margin than the Marion (Oho) Star. At any rate at the time of the June compilation by Editor and Publisher" of the circulation figures of the leading daes of the United States, the Star had a circulation of 10000 while that of The Republican was in excess of 13 900
 relative change may have taken place since the early days of June. About that time good many people not only of this country. of the whole English speaking world, began to hear of the Star or whose existence they had not been previously aware and no doubt new thousands have subscribed
 The Republican for the last five or six veara has not been strong circulation contests. in fact IL mas avoided them for the reason that it had be come convinced that subscriber whose name has oeen put upon the list as result of contest IS not a valuable asset; at the most he is of only prospective value Having thus been dragoon.d into becoming subscriber, there is a hare cbanc. tna1 nc may come to like the paper which in a way has been forced him, and he may becon,e voluntary and regular subscriber But the chance. are Aoout ten to one that he will that on the

FIRE IN RESTAURANT
 CAUSES TOTAL LOSS

FLORENCE. July 30.-Fire, discov- cred at o'clock Thursday morning, totally destroyed the Cosy restaurant, Florence's best restaurant. causing a loss of s1,500 to the building and a complete loss to the contents, the value of which was not stated The contents of the building were insured for S2, 000 but there was no insurance on the building itself. Lucas Leos was the proprietor of the restaurant, while Chono Avanente was the owner of the building.
 When discovered. the flames were issuing from the rear of the building, soaring to a height of 100 feet. The volunteer fire fighters were soon on the scene and succeeded in confin- ing the fire to the one building.
 Florence is to have new up-to- date fire fighting apparatus. It is a com bination engine and hose motor truck of the latest type and will add greatly to the protection of the property here The city council at their last meeting arranged for a building for the hous- ing of the same.
 Big preparations are being made for San Carlos day, August 12. This will be the most important meeting of the association ever held and business of the most vital importance to the com munity at large will be brought up at the meeting. A large attendance of the farmers and their families is ex- pected and games, etc., to entertain the young people while the older folks are at the meeting, are being ar ranged for by the committee.
 A laundry is the latest addition to the business interests of Florence. It will not be necessary now to send the wash out of town to have it laundried
 The cotton gin here is to be en- 1arged to almost double its capacity this year in order to take care of the large crop that is looked forward to this season.
