THE ROAD BOND ELECTION

The board Of supervisors at its meet
ing Monday started the ball rolling
for good roads in Graham County,
when, by unanimous vote, it declared
in favor of road bond election. for
100000, at six per cent interest.
The great need for hard surface
road, starting at the Greenlee County
line and coming through the Gila Val
ley to the ella County line, Is known
to every man, women and child in
Graham County, as well as to many
travellers who make the trip from Dun
can or Clifton to Globe, Miami, and
Phoenix through the Gila Valley, and
also to many travellers who would
make the trip through our beautiful
valley If the roads were in good con
dition at all times for travel.
The fact is that the supposed high
way from the Greenlee County line
TO the Gila County line through the
Gila Valley is about the worst piece OF
road in the state, and 1t is absolute
ly necessary that the people of Gra-
ham County should realize this condi-
tion and contribute their best efforts
to remedy the very bad road and make
il the-be road for travel of all kinds
in the state.
There is only one way in which this
good work can be accomplished and
that will be through road bond cleo
tion successfully carried for an
amount that will insure the very best
kind of a road.
The board of supervisors has done
well in voting for sum of 100000
to build this road and the amount of
interest six per cent, is not too high
for the success of the undertaking.
Every taxpayer in Graham County
should be in favor of good roads.
Every automobile owner and every
valley should be in favor of good
roads.
California and other states have
demonstrated the fact that good roads
accomplish success and prosperity
for every community.
The people of Graham County will
have the opportunity on January 2S,
1922, to gain success and prosperity
through the best highway in the state
by voting in favor OF the road bonds.

The Flag of Our Country

The history Of our flag begins with
the War of the Revolution. Up to
that time, we had no flag of our own.
We were then Colonies of Great Bri-
tain, and whenever we had occasion
TO make use of flag, we carried the
English Flag. But we could not fight
England under her own flag. So, at
the outbreak of the war, the different
colonies began to adopt flags for them
selves.
After the war had dragged along
for more than year. the Colonies
saw that England had no intention
of giving them their rights. So they
found it necessary to change the flag
General Washington and two other
men were appointed as committe
to make the necessary changes They
got young widow, Betsy Ross, to
make a flag for them. In The new bag
they kept the thirteen red and white
stripes, but instead OF the English
crosses in the upper left corner, they
placed thirteen white stars on field
of blue.
AS years pass, this flag has been
changed in only one particular One
by one new states have been added
to the Union, and white stars have
been admitted to the flag to represent
these states.
The story OF the Flag. First its
thirteen red and white stripes recall

gle in which the thirteen colonies

dom. These stripes have never been
changed and never will be.
Stars. Each star is an emblem to
record a great event in the history OF
the country. Each tells the story Of a
great and sovereign state which has
entered our Union. The first thirteen
stood for the work our reverend fore.
fathers did for us. Each star added
has its story 10 tell of struggle and
hardship, to win a state from the will
derness and present it to the Union.
Red. for courage. The red which
we took from the flag OF the mother
country and placed in our flag pro
claims the courage which the men OF
our race have always shown. The
courage which inspires men to face
danger and to do what is right When
we look at those red stripes we re-
cali the thousands of courageous
deeds which have done under our flag.
White for Liberty. From the de
scription which General Washington
left us we know that those was design
ed the flag, meant the white
stripes to stand for Liberty.
Blue for Loyalty. The blue In our
flag stands for loyalty. It is the blue
of the heavens, the true blue. 1t tells
the story of thousands Of men and
women who have been loyal to their
country through thick and thin
through suffering and hardship; OF
men and women who have hesitated
at no sacrifice, even of their lives
when their country demanded it.

which we proclaim to the world that

growers, however, have used stable
manure systematically in their plan

yields by this practice. Whenever

where the plantation is not yielding
over 3 tons per acre, it is probable
that the application Of stable manure
will prove profitable. 1t can be used

Probably the chief advantage in using
stable manure is that it supplies large
quantities of humus and thus in

A poem giving vivid pen picture

What! was it a dream: am all alone.
In the dreary night and the drench-
rain?
Hist An it was only the rivers moan.
They have left me behind with tn
maugled slain.
Yes, Now | remember it all too well.
We met, from the battling ranks
apart.
And mine was sheathed in his quiz
erng heart.
In the cypress gloom where the deed
was done.
Twas all too dark to see his face.
But | heard his death groans one by
one,
And he holds me still in a cold en-
brace.
He spoke but once. but could not hear
The words he said for the cannon's
roar,
But my heart grew cold with deadly
fear
Q God. had heard that voice before.
Heard it before at my mothers knee.
AS we lisped together our evening
prayer
.Iy brother! Oh would l had died for
thee!
This burden is moro than ! can bear.
I pressed my lips to his death cold
cheek
And begged him to show me ny word
or sign
That he knew and forgavs me; he could
not speak.
But he nestled his poor cold face to
mine.
The blood flowed fast from my wound
ed side.
And then for a while forgot my
pain.
And over the lakelet we seemed to glide
In our little boat. two boys again.
And then Gin my dreamy We stood alone
On a forest path where the shadows
fell,
And / heard again the tremulous tone
And the tender words Of his last fare

But that parting was years, long years
ago,
And he wandered way to a foreign
land.

That he died tonight by q brothers

Training Systems.
In practically all sections, the canes
are trained to q wire trellis which IL
made by setting posts about 80 feet
apart in the rows. along which two
or three. wires are strung. Cedar
posts are commonly used. These
should be at least feet long and

to the post.
The canes of the Logan blackberry
grow up from the ground in the early
spring. and although they may be
80 feet long by autumn they are
usually only Is to 20 feet. They
run in all directions along the surface
of the ground unless trained in some
manner. During the first season.
therefore, they should be made to
run along the rows. to keep them out
of the way of the cultivator. Short
sticks or pieces of wire are used
to hold the canes In place along the
rows, two or three such sticks or
wires being necessary for each plant
The early spring Of the following
year the canes should be trained to
the trellis which, by that time, should
have been erected. Their are two dis
tinct methods Of training in common
use, the weaving system and tho ropc
system. Both the weaving and the
rope systems are used in Oregon,
the weaving ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
while Washington growers prefer the
weaving system.
When the canes are trained by the
weaving system each cane 10 woven
separately on the wires and the most
possible fruiting surface 10 exposed
to the sunlight.
When trained in accordance with
the rope system, all the canes may
be brought up to the top wire in a
bundle and then wrapped around the
wires. The canes trained by this
method are not exposed so much to
the sun, but they are shaded by the
foliage. When the rope system is
used, the canes are often divided
into four parts to the upper wire
and half of those on each wire ex.
tend in each direction. Occasionally
single-wire trellis Is used and all
the canes are tied to this one wire.
A one-wire trellis Is rarely satisfac-
tory as 2-wire or 3-wire trellis.
The weaving system requires much
more labor in putting up canes, but
growers consider that they obtain
the largest yields of fruit from such
plantations. The buds are not likely
to be bound so that they can not
develop as when the rope system is
used. Large crops, however, are
secured from plantations trained
under either system.
