DON'T WANT TO
 COME HOME FROM COBLENZ

Those who are insistent on "bring- ing our boys home from the Rhine" seem to reckon without the consent of the boys themselves. They are having by all accounts halcyon time, and the one fly in the ointment of their happiness is that the rati- fication of the treaty of peace by the senate may result in their speedy re- call. Crowds of soldiers are reported as gathering at the Y. M. C. A. house in Coblenz and singing "We don't want to go home."
 And why should they? They have basked in the smiles of the German girls and in many cases chosen wives from among them. They have beer and wine to drink, they enjoy good billets, have excellent food and take furlough trips to Paris, Rome and Monte Carlo. At the existing rate of exchange their American dol- lars make them relatively rich. For the officers there are motor cars, cheap accommodations at the best hotels end West Baden with its casino and gambling-rooms only a few hours away.
 If these are hardships the American Army of Occupation is well content to endure them. They contrast elo- quently with the mire and vermin and danger of the trenches. Certainly

NEWS OF INTEREST GATHERED
 HERE AND THERE IN THE STATE
GOVERNOR URGES
 HELP FOR VETERANS

Governor Thomas F.. Campbell is- sued a proclamation dealing with the "clean-up campaign" which is to be conducted in the state by representa- tives of the Veterans bureau in the interests of former service men and women who suffered disabilities dur ing the world war and who since have not received any assistance from the government. The campaign will be conducted from September IA to 26, inclusive, according to the proclama- ton.
 The Veterans bureau has taken over the activities of the United States public health service, the fed eral board of vocational education and the bureau of war risk insurance, in- solar as those activities dealt with former service men and women. The campaign in Arizona will be conduct ed by two groups of officers of the bu- reau headed by Col. c. A. Forbes and Major l.. T. Grant. These same groups will conduct similar campaigns in California and Nevada.
 The Veterans bureau, according to the proclamation, now is engaged in an effort to make amends to the vet erans for the delay in settling claims for disabilities until two and one-half years after the signing of the ar mistice.
 The bureau officials who will con duct the campaign, the proclamation said, will have authority to act inn mediately on all cases brought before them. The proclamation said that the board would follow the following schedule: Tucson, Sept. 14-15; Bis bee, 16-17; Phoenix, 1920; Prescott, 21-22; Holbrook, 23; Winslow, 24; Kingman, 26.
 The object of the board, the proc lamation declared, will be to render "speedy justice" to all disabled vet erans who present themselves with their honorable discharges and such other affidavits regarding their condi- ton as they can secure.
 The governors proclamation called upon all loyal citizens and patriots and welfare organizations to cooper ate with the bureau representatives in seeking out and bringing before the board all disabled former service men and women who have not yet re- ceived assistance from the govern ment

LEGION DID
 NOT DEFEND GEORGE

The American Legion in Prescott had nothing to do with the defense of Frank George, convicted of the slay- ing of Undersheriff Ed Bowers.
 This is the gist of an expression made at meeting of the Ernest A. Love post, when, after good deal of discussion, the post made formal re- quest upon the Journal Miner to male its position clear in the following words:
 "There has been some talk about the Legion's connection with the Frank George case. The Ernest A. Love post has not given support, fin ancial or moral, to the defense of George"
 It was given as the opinion of sev- eral that some money had been col lected locally and at Whipple Bar racks, to pay for the defense of George, who was an ex-service man.

NEW WAY TO REACH POLICE
 AT NIGHT NOW IN READINESS

With the installation of the new police light, the night officers of the police department can be reached by anyone within a short time. The light is located on top of the Prescott State bank building and is operated from the local telephone office.
 Anyone calling the police office and failing to get reply, may now call the telephone operator, who at once will flash on the red light on the building. This light is visible from all parts of the city, and as soon as it flashes, cannot be missed by the offic- CTS on duty, who then will be able to locate the call through the telephone office.-Prescott Courier.

TO MAIL ADvERTIsERs-DoNT

As the Income Tax implies book keeper and an accountant for every person who has to pay it, so mail ad- vertising in its present volume implies that everybody keeps private secre- tary.
 It is serious impeachment to hap piness to be on the mailing list of the mail advertisers. How they make up the lists, heaven knows.
 A proud father, bragging the other day of his enterprising young son, said that his ideas had caused won- derful development in the mail adver- Using business. It was something like boasting that his child had reduced bank burglary to a science, but the father did not see it so. Doubtless he has a private secretary and does not have to wade through his mail every morning, throwing out handful or double handful of solicitations to buy things he does not want in order to sort out few letters that are really meant for him.
 1t is an axiom of the common law that mans house is his castle, but no castle keeps out the United States mail. When it is delivered it is re- ceived. Whatever the postman hands in one must take, There Is no present escape for the householder from re- ceiving a whole lot of communications that do not concern him and that he does not want.
 One can only conjecture how relief from this inf1ictiOn is to come. Prob- ably it will continue as long as it seems to pay. It is one of the objec- tionable forms of advertising. An other is the roadside advertising that disfgures the landscape. The prog ress of civilization, if civilization does progress, will in time abate that dIs- figurement, which will be prohibited by legislation as soon as the public taste revolts against it. But how legis- lation can reach the mail advertisers is not so easy to see. Perhaps per- suasion and appeals to mercy will deal with them better.
 Will you not be so good, gentlemen, as to put your communications into public prints instead of intrusting them to the mail? The newspapers and periodicals will print them for you with much pleasure, and if you put your suggestions in the right pa- pers-in this one, for example-they will not find their way unconsidered to the waste basket, as happens now to almost all the advertising that goes by mail. -E. s.

COW THIEVES USE
 AUTO AT GLENDALE

Some time on Monday night, says William J. Tetzlaff, of Glendale, a truck drove to his farm at Northern avenue and lateral 16, loaded pure bred, 2-year-old Jersey heifer into the truck and drove away. Another COW was driven out of the gate and to a place on a ditch bank where tracks of the truck were plainly seen. The Jersey heifer was very fat and valu- able.
 Mir Tetzlaff hopes that by the pub lication of this story some innocent person may be prevented from pur- chasing the COW and may assist in catching the thief. He says the sher- if told him this is the fourth theft of Jersey cows in the same manner recently.

CANNIBALs IN HAITI
Three of Our Marines as Well n
Many Natives Killed and Eaten
by the Savages

Washington, Jan. 7.-At least three
American marines as well as scores
of native girls and children have been
killed and eaten by cannibals in Haiti
within the past IA months. Detailed
testimony taken by the naval board of
inquiry reveals this condition.
The savagery which is practiced il
the name of a new and terrible reli-
gion that has originated among the
rowing tribes of the hill country has
struck terror to the hearts Of ths
Haitien police and caused serious con-
cern to the American marines engag-
ed in suppressing outlawry and main
tanning order.
The sacrifice of three children at q
terrible ceremony known as a "moon
feast" is described in thrilling detail
in testimony given by Lieut.. Cukela
at the trial of Cadeus Bellegarde, a
Caco high priest, charged with hav-
ing killed and eaten them.

the victims of the cannibals, one.

tion Forces, was completely devoured

lated and the natives feasted on the
heart and brains.
The third victim, Private Harry
Lawrence, was captured in a clash
between a patrol of marines and 9
band of Cacos, among whom the new
religion has taken its most violent
form in the eating of whites. No trace
of him has ever been found.

NEW VICE-PRESIDENT
A NATURE FAKER
Picture Made of Mr.. Coolidge Milking
a Cow but the Bucket
was Empty

Springfield, Mass, Jan. 6.-Vice-
i'resident-elect Coolidge can milk a
cow, but he did not milk the one he
was represented as milking in pho
tograph taken last July while he was
on a vacation at his fathers farms in
Plymouth, VT, after his nomination
at Chicago. However, it was the
cows fault and not the governors.
In explaining the misrepresentation
to Horace A. Moses, president of the
Hampden County Improvement AS
sociation, who was his host recently,
Governor Coolidge said that that cow
was creature of temperament and
insisted on being MIXED indoors. The
/ picture released to the press last
summer, showed the candidate in the
accepted position for milking, and ap-
parently getting results.
"You see," he said. "she had always
been accustomed to being milked in
doors and when / approacher her with
a pail and milking stool she quite nat
urally and in accordance with long
established precedent, started for the
barn door,"
1t took several minutes of coaxine
before the cow would so far depart
from the law and order of her way:
Jas to stand in the barnayrd while th'
igovernor made pretense of milking
her. To really do so out of doors wa
lauite out of the question, he declared

hauled too close to the treacherous
shores when pursued. A syndicate
formed for the search has Legun ope-
rations where the galleon is supposed
to have sunk in the sands.
This is, only one of the many such
adventures off the South Florida coast
which in the old days before the ad-
vent of the lighthouses was the scene
of many wrecks. Treasure seekers
have brought up few ancient hulls
which had been deeply buried in sand,
some dating back five or six centuries.
But so far no ship thus recovered has
yielded anything except ancient wood.
One prospector is said to have spent
two fortunes near Stuart before quit
