Sons.
san Claiborne. One was the wife of
Matthew Claiborne. whose soul was
made of alfalfa, and in whose service
Susan baked and swept and churned
and mended. The other Susan was
in love with sunsets. and flowers and
human beings in general. In par
ticular she. was in love. also, with
Jason, her neighbor. For a long
time Susan could not realize what
was the matter with her. When she
discovered that she was in love with
Jason. the business of her life became
that of not letting. Jason know this,
nor letting Matthew know it, nor
herself either, for that matter. AS it
5urned out, after long to-do of
really beautiful human living on the
part of Susan Jason knew 1t and
Matthew knew it, too-had known it,
time things had happened. as they
have a way of doing in books. Mat
thew dies and Jason's wife dies.
Nevertheless. despite this special
providence activity. the story takes
its substance, and surely will get it's
reward, out of the lovable personality
of Susan Claiborne.

had never been out of it. Gayety,
daring, spon5aneity, mark the course

The Pennsylvania Dutch again pro-

other one is Susan's debt to society.

 AS far as the hay raisers of this state are concerned. the situation is this," said MT. Betts yesterday. "Un- der the former reasonable rates much of our produce was shipped to Texas. Louisiana Alabama and Mis- sissippi at a profit. Then the ]. c. C. issued an order making a general raise in all freight rates of 25 per cent. and automatically our markets have been closed. and our farmers might just as well expect to market their product in China as to regain the territory which has been lost to them unless rates are materially re-
 duced. The same situation applies
 to the grain industry of the Middle
 West. The fact is that the high rates are stifling agricultural production and some drastic action will have to
 be taken to obtain a return to norma conditions.
 Tt would be unfortunate, indeed | if the hay industry of this sectior
 was forced to follow the footsteps o1 | the cotton industry into the non profitable class, and we are hopefu | that such will not be the case. Int commission is securing number O affidayits showing the cost of pro duction under irrigation in this state and these will have considerabl' weight, I am sure, in support Of ou contention that the industry i doomed unless the railroads ar | forced to reduce the rates"

HAY PRODUCERS OF

The matter will come up in a formal hearing before the interstate com merce commission in the form of an application by the farming interests of stl middle western and intermoun- tain states asking for a blanket re- duction in rates of 25 per cent on hay and grain and grain products.
 At a conference of commissioners from the states represented in the movement, held in Chicago the latter part of July, MT. Betts was named one of a committee of five to pre- sent the matter before the interstate commerce commission.

HOLDS ABSENCE IF : OFFICIAL DOES NOT
 CAUSE \ VACANCY

How long a county or state officer may be absent from his county or the state without forfeiting an office is a question that has been brought to the attention of the office Of the attorney general It came in an in quiry from the county attorney of Yavapai county. John L. Sullivan, in
 the case of Supervisor W. H. F. Jones of that county.
 Some months ago MT Jones was seized with illness and was taken to California, his associates on the board having granted him leave of absence. At the end of the period of the leave, it was extended by the board and subsequently, extended again until the 90-day period which
 in one section of the statute appears to be the limit of the time for which an officer may absent himself from the state, with or without a leave of absence, had been exceeded.
 Pressure was applied to the re-
 maining members of the board of
 supervisors to declare the office of MT. Jones vacant and to appoint his were unwilling to do. Hence the application for the opinion of the attorney general.
 In letter to the county attorney yesterday, Assistant Attorney Gen. eral Hill holds that a vacancy has not been established.
 MT. Hill calls attention to the statute that provides that a county
 officer may not absent himself from l the state for period of more than 1 50 days or for any period without
 the consent of the board of super visors. But inasmuch as no penalty | fr aI1 cd <a o n1o of hof
 statute, a vacancy does not ensue
 unless it should appear that the of ficer had abandoned his office.
 As to the provision that an ab-
 sence of 90 days leaves a vacancy in 1 state office the letter of the assis- | tant attorney general recites the case
 of the People vs- Shorb (CaL), where the court held that such an absence
 constituted prima facie vacancy.
 A literal interpretation of the statute
 would leave the office vacant.
 But the statute provides that if
 this absence is with the permission
 of the legislature it shall not vacate the office. The board of supervisors
 being the legislative body of the county. it is the opinion of MT. Hill that the permission of the super 1 visors to county officers would have l the same effect as the permission of l the legislature to state officers. The l assistant attorney general speaks | also of the involuntary absence of the supervisor from his post and he cites the case of California official who failed to discharge the duties of 1 his office because of his absence in l jail. Yet the court held that by that 1 failure he had not vacated his office. MT. Hill holds that the word absence as used in this state is an absence that constitutes an abandonment ''and that it is intended to read and I should be read as abandonment. l The elements of abandonment are entirely lacking in this case so far
 as we are advised of the facts, for l the reason that express leave of ab-
 sence was granted by the board of l supervisors and was renewed from time to time, and that there was no l intention on the part of the super l visor to remove from this state and l that his absence is temporary and
 that he will soon return"

MILK PRODUCTS OF VALLEY COMPETING
 WITH IMPORTED O|L
(Ry c. Guy MiIIer)

The statistical abstract of the de- partment of commerce shows some startling figures of importations into the United States during the past few years. For instance, since 1917 there have been dumped on our shores one billion, sixteen million pounds of cocoanut oil. If you knew what percentage of this oil was put into butter and canned milk which is being sold over the counters by nearly every groceryman throughout the nation you would ask yourself whether you had not better consult the lable to ascertain whether you are patronizing a home product or whether you are more interested in foreign substitutes.
 Now, please do not misquote me in this inference. We welcome com petition, and we wish to share in that reciprocity which entities us to the exchanges of food products by treaty agreement between countries, but for the life of me I cannot see the logic of a housewife showing a preference for butter and condensed or evaporated milk made up from substitutes for that delicious butter and evaporated milk which is pro- duced at their very doors in the Salt River valley from clean wholesome cows into sanitary condensers, the local plants using no substitutes. And notwithstanding this over sight, the happiness and content ment of the individual in the com. munity in which he or she exists de- bends entirely upon this.
 If I am a farmer, and raise alfalfs l to produce milk, how can I be happ, l or contented if my neighbor insist: l on consuming butter and condensed milk made from cocoanut oil? If
 am a merchant, how can I be happ,
 or contented if the farmer to whom I have extended credit cannot pa,
 his bills because he cannot marke l his crop, because his neighbor Insists upon using food products made ul from substitutes from foreign shores 1 Or if I am a layman and cannot ge | a Job because the merchant has gon out of business, because the farme could not pay his bills, because h could not unload his products. be
 cause his neighbor would not patron
 ize home products. but just simpi, walked into the store and walked ou
 with a pound of butter and a can o
 milk without consulting the label. With apologies to the author of tn
 House that Jack Built this is tn

FOUND SINGING CROW

The great crow of the North a bird as large as a raven or a young bug gard, is talented singer. Most crows have raucous cry, bu. this black bird, who appears so often on the totem poles, is a singer.
 R. r. Bonham tells of his first ex- perience with the great crow of Alas ka. A party were ashore looking over an old Indian village when suddeny a golden voice broke forth in melody. The nearest bird to them was a great crow, and in a testing way Bonham assured his companions that it was this crow that was singing, thinking to have some fun with the party. But to his surprise he was proved a truthteller. for while they all watched the bird opened his spacious mouth. Instead of the expected Cav, caw, a ripping flood of song burst forth.
