RANGE CONDITIONS
 IN SOUTH ARE POOR

While vegetation is making a fair start on northern ranges as a result of the rains of two weeks ago. the desert ranges of the south show little improvement, and it has become nee essary to feed stock where feed Is available In many places where feed cannot be had stockmen are planning to drive their cattle into Sonora, where grazing has not been so close as on this side of the bor- der. Conditions surrounding sheep on the winter ranges have improved somewhat. following recent rains and lambing is progressing more favor ably. Forage along the driveways to summer ranges has improved, and while many will be returned to sum- mer pastures by rail, large propor- tion will be able to return in the usual way. One serious drawback to their being driven back is the lack of water on some of Ge driveways
 There has been very little runoff from recent rains and only on the most favored ranges is there said to be sufficient water for stock The weather observer at Flagstaff reports that the ground is moist and in good condition for the growth of feed on the range. Sections north and east of the San Francisco mountains did
 not get so much precipitation as in their immediate vicinity and received 1 only temporary benefit; there was no runoff in that section
 In the greater part of the dry farming section of the state the soil
 is moist and is in good condition for blowing 2nd cultivation. Some plant ing has been done in the southern portion, but it is too early in the
 north; blowing, is being pushed in
 that section. Citrus fruits in the Salt River and Yuma valleys are
 blooming profusely. Alfalfa, winter
 wheat. spring barley and truck are | looking we'll in all irrigated sections.

DAD HEARS FROM
WOMEN'S COLLEGE.
Women's College of Delaware,
October %, 1921.


Dear Dad
We are having wonderful weather
here in Delaware now, and I've never
seen such beautiful foliage as l saw
on long walk l took Friday. The
colors are Incompatible. And the air
is so bracing that hockey is real
pleasure, especially under Miss Park
| hurst, the new "coach." She is a
whiz! Each class is practicing three
times a week now for the interclass
games are to commence soon.
Did you ever hear of a Candle
Light Service of the Y. w. c. A.? 1t
is the service at which the new men,
bers are received into the Association.
Sunday evening our Y. w. c. A. had
it's annual Candle Light Service, and,
oh, it was so lovely. The shades were
drawn in the Hilarium, which was
lighted by the glow of dozens of
tapers. All the new members wore
white, and carried little lighted
candles. After the first hymn was
sung, Mable Smith, the Vice-Presi-
dent, presented the names of the new
members, about fifty in number.
Dorothy Ford, the President, in ac-
cepting them asked the girls to put
out their tiny lights as symbolic Of
putting away their selfish interests.
Then they were all relighted by the
large Association candle, so the men,
bers signified their intention of unit
| ing their efforts with those of the
Association. DR.. Candee, of Whining
ton, was down to speak to us, and as
usual he gave US beautiful talk.
This time he said that he had been
| wondering how we could make it pos
sible to keep sending out the light
which had been lighted tonight. We
might do this by keping ourselves
sensitive to the bigger things of life,
to God and His truth. We have a
tendency to let familiarity de-sensi-
tize US, just as doctors who come so
often in contact with pain lose the
power of sympathy, so we, so often
| face to face with sin, lose our horror
Of it. So we need some light to guide
ours. This should be the Light of His
Truth. One striking comparison he
made was in closing when he said
'Liken your life to ships compass
which is corrected by another every
two hours. Has your compass deviated
from the line? Then correct it by
Christ and so sail on with comfort
and assurance" Isn't that new
idea?
We had another awfully interest.
ing person talk to us last Thursday
in Chapel. She was Miss Florence G
Tyler, one Of the delegates to the
Women's Synodical Society which was
holding meeting at the Presbyterian
Church. She spoke so enthusiastically
of the work being done in the foreign
mission fields. To hear of so many
things that there are to be done in
this world makes me wish that l had
been triplets SO that l could have
three "jobs" instead of one when l am
graduated.
We are all looking forward to big

don't confuse the boys we will be

now cause the details aren't complete.

BLUE AND GOLD
TRIUMPHS OVER
SCARLET AND
BLACK, 1910

Delaware's Gold blew high
over Haverford's Black on Sat.
urday. The yellow-jacketed war.
riors battered and tore their
way thru for two scores against
their heavier foes, emerging un-
scathed, happy, and victorious
from the gruelling fight. 1t was
a great game.
Haverford's field was mass
of color at 2.20 as the Scarlet
and Black squad trotted thru it's
preliminary warm-up, while the
stands shot forth cheer after
cheer to their gridiron battlers.
Delaware's team emerged from
it's quarters and walked slowly
out to the bench. The varsity
loosened UP and the backs re-
ceived their punts while Captain
Holton tossed for kickoff. Hol-
ton elected to receive and as the
two teams lined up, the handful
of Delaware rooters sent forth
their challenge to Haverford's
supporters. Amid a salvo Of yells
the pigskin shot through the air
into the eager arms of a Blue
and Gold back and the great
contest was on.
The game was offense for Del
aware after the first few min
utes. Haverford hadn't chance
on the offense with. those tear
ing, fighting, charging for
wards. Plays were smeared in
their infancy. Golden jerseys
smothered nearly every runner
before he had hit the line of !
scrimmage and time and again
the Scarlet's plucky halfback
star, Brown, was forced to punt.
From the seventh play the Blue
and Gold forced the fight. Short
end runs, hard line bucks, and
smashing off-tackle plays took
the ball twice to within striking
distance of the hometown goal
posts where only stiffened de-
tense and the gallant work of |
Brown prevented score. The
first half ended with Delaware
on march to HarverfordH1aine,
score 0 to @.
Once more in the last quarter
Delaware's vicious offense put
Schaeffer in position to send
Jackson across on that same be-
wildering play for the last score
of the game. Delaware rooters
went wild as the Dover boy
trotted across the line for his
second touchdown. Hats rained
thru the air as Captain Holton
kicked the goal and cheer after
cheer echoed across the historic
old campus as the game was
cinched. Only time prevented
another touchdown, and the
faithful group of Diamond
Staters had a snake dance all
their own. Over Haverford's
goal posts flew hats and then
the old Alma Mater floated forth
from the little circle standing
there, revently, with uncovered
heads. It was a wonderful
game.

NOT ALONE FOR BABIES
AND CHILDREN
(Communicated.)

The letter published in the Gazette
of August % signed Mrs. NJ. A. Bren-
ner has given the Playground Asso-
citation an opportunity to correct an
impression that. evidently was IN the
mind of one lady at least, and pos
sibly may be in the minds OF others.
The Fairgrounds of the cities are
not intended solely for babies and
children, but are considered an amuse-
ment ground for all ages. Those who
have visited the Friends grounds will
see that care is taken in the laying
out of those grounds. On the east
side are located the sand boxes, the
sliding board and the swings, and on
that side of the yard Miss Howard
devotes from an hour to an hour and
a half each day to kindergarten work.
On the north side is placed the bas-
ket ball, volley ball and tennis courts
These are for the older children and
the young men and young women. No
one is too old to be welcomed on the
Playground, no one too young.

OUR POLICE FORCE

At the meeting of the Po-
lice Commissioners on We'd
nesday night we are glad to
note that Mayor Duncan
found occasion to compll-
ment our police force. On
the whole, we doubt if any
city Of any size in the coun-
try has a more vigilant or
efficient body Of men. They
seem to be alert and con-
scientious in their perform
ance of duty. The beats of
the motorcycle force extend
into the suburbs, and our SUI
burban residents little real
lie the efficiency Of the vigi-
liant officers who keep the
peace and protect their prop
erty. We had a talk with
one of the Commissioners
recently and, and were duly
impressed with the fact that
much petty thieving, and
perhaps crime Of greater
magnitude, is nipped in the
bud by our motorcycle po-
lice. These incidents do not
often get into the paper, and
the public are ignorant of

"YOU-ALL," IN THE NORTH

The time-honored contro-
versy anent the Southern I. ex-
preston of "you-all" is
again raging in the news
papers and magazines, north
and south. This time, it
concerns the number Of the
expression whether singu-
lar or plural. Some say it IS,
and some say it amt! Some
say the white folks use It
only in the singular, and
others, that the colored peo-
pie use it both ways.
So far, none of the learned
plilologists seems to have
analysed it correctly. We
were born and raised in q
section where it's use was
everyday, and its correct
ness unquestioned. 1t owes
its origin to the innate
good-breeding and polite
ness of the Southerner
Not wishing to make invldi-
Gus distinction in addressing
his guests. or to give undue
prominence to any one OF a
group, he affixed the word
"all" to the pronoun. In this
way, he avoided Wounding
the feelings of the sensitive
or puncturing the vanity OF
the proud. In other words,
the expression is that figure
Of speech known as a eu-
phemism.
By thus ascertaining the
origin or derivation Of you
all" we can understand how
it may be correctly used in
the singular. But when ad-
dressed to one person, only,
it includes, invariably, an
other or others, present or
absent; in either case in the
same category as the one ac-
costed.
It's use is classically cor
rect, in whatever society,
and in whatever place, and
as authoritative as any
phrase in Shakespeare.

grounds for the sports and assisted
Miss Howard in a great number OF
ways and public expression OF ap.
probation by her and by the Board
has been already made through the
columns of this paper. Not only nave
the young men Of the town been m
terested, but fathers and mothers
have accompanied their children to the
grounds and have shared in the pleas
ure that has been given to all.
On the Lee Street grounds not only
Kindergarten work is organized, put
basket ball and also foot ball. Re
garding the unfortunate incident
weeks ago Of the child being struck
BY the hammer, every one is most re-
crctful that the affair occurred. But
it should also be stated that the accl-
dent took place after the Playground
had been closed to the children and
after Miss Howard had locked the
gates and gone home.
The young man volunteered TO make
supports for the basket ball and,
therefore, remained on the grounds
and when the child came back told
him to go home. No hammer was
thrown at the child, but as the young
man was WORKING the head of the
hammer flew off and struck the child.
Had the child obeyed, first Miss
Howard and afterwards the young
man, he would not have been hurt.
The men, old and young, who fire.
oucnt these grounds do not vi"io9sly

mote the happiness and success of the

Killed Cousin to
Save Her From a
Loveless Marriage
Diary of Suicide Shows He
Meant to Stay Uncle, but.
Relented OH Finding He
Had Dependent Children

ASBURY PARK, N. j., Aug. 15.-A
translation of part of diary found
on Arico Picone, who killed himself
here August 3, made it plain to-day
that his murder of his cousin, Cam
due to his belief that the girls uncle
was forcing her into ioveless mar
riage.
His original intention when he came
to Asbury Park, he wrote, was to kill
the man ne deemed guilty Of oppression
in compelling Cammella to we'd against
her will This resolution was altered
by the discovery that the girls uncle
had children dependent upon him. The
uncle died few weeks ago from natu-
raj causes and Picone, according to the
police records, wrested from his
widows grasp revolver with which
she sought to kill herself.
II write these few lines" the diary
runs, "to. explain the wrong | have
done and to- let you know that all this
ruin was caused by my uncle. The
motive was that my cousin did not
want to marry this fellow, but they
scared her SO that she said yes. After
week she saw the fellow, but did
not like him and left him. When my
uncle heard this they threatened her.
This was Sunday. Monday they threat
ened her again, saying they would kill
me md cut her to pieces. If you do
not believe me there is her sister
She can tell you better, for when l
shot the girl the sister heard every
thing l said.
II said that any girl had the right
to marry anyone she liked. In regard
to me, it is true did this wrong. This
wrong you would understand better if
you felt as I felt. I really came to
Asbury Park for revenge, to kill the
ones who were to blame.
when l came to this village my in
tentions changed because they had
children, and SO I go to where the soul
of my cousin reposes, for there mine is
to repose also. This | want to tell,
that for this sin they may grieve who
are to blame"

Another Batch of
lAUnlisted Chinese
Found ON Steamer
Bowes Castles Total of
Ssowaways Is Forty, Max
ing Record Collection of
Illicit Tourists for Port

a Chinese quartermastcr Of the Brit
ish frcighter Bowes Castle, after IN
dergoing severe examination by ths
captain of the vessel, yesterday
brought forth fourteen more Chinese
stowaways from the hold, raising the
tnfai number of tho steamers unlisted
passengers to forty. One more Chi
nasc remains to be accounted for, it is
said Twentysix stowaways were
found in ballast tank Saturday night.
The Bowes Castle arrived Saturday at
Pier 4, Staten Island, from Japan and
the Philippines.
/ The fourteen discovered yesterday
were taken to Ellis Island and will be
held with the others pending an in
vestigation.
/ 1t has been LEANED that $500 was
/ given by one of the Chinese, represent
ing the others, to white member of
the steamers crew and that 5000 was
handed another to guaranty their
| guarded passage. Officials were in
clincd yesterday to believe that this
shipment of stowaways is only one Of a
rurlber that have been made through
the operations of Chinese smuggling
gang, with representatives either in
China or this country.
! The fourteen Chinese were weak
and emaciated yesterday. A search
continued by customs men under In
spector Hokensen revealed a small
quantity of smoking opium and some
whisky, it was reported.
Inspector F. s. Pierce, who will d.
rect this mornings final investigation
of the ship, said efforts will be made
to get criminal conviction against per-
sons who have had hand in the snug
Cling plot. 1t was said that if evidence
obtained from the stowaways warrants
it, hearings of white members Of the
crew will be held before Commissioner
Samuel M. Hitchcock.
Captain w. S. Ireland of the Bowes
Castle yesterday visited the ships
agents, Barber & Co., II Battery Place,
and made a report. 1t was said at
the agents Offices that Captain Ire
land was in no way responsible for the
stowaways.
immigration officials said that the
collection was the largest number Of
Chinese without credentials ever found
on ship entering this port.
