ARIZONA IN THE GREAT WAR

Under preparation by the state his

IONA is work of very large import
ance, covering the service of all
Arizona men in the Great War, late
ly closed, as we'll as the service of
all Arizona organizations end men
in wars of the past, such as the Civ
il and Spanish Wars. In the office
of the adjutant general now are rec
ord cards covering service of about
10000 Arizona men in the crmy, ma
wy, and marine corps. The mere
listing of this number alphabet
cally, in book form, will take about
800 closely printed pages.
There is to be especial mention Of
those who died on the field of bat
tie or in the service and of those
upon whom special honors were
conferred It is proposed also to
give due recognition to the volun-
tary and loyal service that was Civ
en- during the war, in such organic
ations as the Council of Defense and
Red Cross, by the men and women
of the state who were backing up
the boys on the firing line.
1t is asked that all AriZonians
contribute data in their possession,
concerning any of the features that
will be covered within the book.
This data, with photographs, should
be addressed to State Historian Jas.

HORNED TOAD BITES HOLE IN

]. B. Myers, tenderfoot from Mus
kogee, of the Indian service there
when he attempted to motor
through New Mexico a short time
ago, according to his account of the
trip which appeared in the Musko-
gee Daily Phoenix of August 3. A
copy of the story of Myers travels
in this land of rubber-hungry horn
ed toads was received at the cham
ber of commerce yesterday.
Myers was driving from Sham
rock, Texas, to Tucumcari, New
Mexico and claims he could have
driven the 225 miles in one day if
I'VE had not run into so many
horned toads and cactus
The horned toads were very an
noying and bit holes about the size
of dollar in Byers automobile
tires!
Myers says, according to the news
paper: II looked over the side of
the car to see what was the matter
and found that a horned toad had
bitten a hole in one of the tires.
Old timers, when asked yesterday
regarding the habits of a hungry
horned toad-that homely little ami
NAL which inspired one of o. Hen
RVS greatest literary gems-declared
that it is surpri4ng that the toad
didn't horn right on into Myers car
and bite his leg off.

WHAT MINING MEANS

The West has been experiencing
a shutdown of one of it's greatest
industries, copper mining.
In 1913 the copper output of the
country totaled 1,224, ,484,O98 lbs. If
the output for the balance of 1921
approximates the June rate, 1921
domestic production will be 44O,-
900, 0,000lbs., or about 800,00000 lbs.
less than for 1913
Many western communities which
were inclined to treat mining with
Indifference during the war period,
have at last come to realize what
this great employing industry
means in the way of western pros
perity Labor aggitators and tax
aggitators who have used this indus
try as target for their activities
will find for time to come in the
future they will not be welcome in
mining communities Too many cit
izens and workingmen now realize
that their prosperity is inseperable
s from that OF the mines in many of
the western states.
It will be a welcome dav when
western copper mines can again re-
sumo hteir activity

COUNTRY EDITOR STILL SOME
PUMPKINS

Everybody has written about the
ty editor, but few have written
about his joys, says the Elizabeth
town On. j. News.
He stands ahead of the preacher,
the lawyer and the public speaker
because he never talks to empty
benches, but speaks in all the homes
where his paper goes. He never
makes impromptu speeches which
generally disgust the audience, but
writes with deliberation and pre-
meditation The preachers influ-
ence for good seldom reaches farther
than his congregation, while the ed
itors field for good reaches all the
congregations in the country.
The lawyer makes a great speech
in the court house and only one or
two hundred persons hear him, but
when the editor writes a good edi-
torial it is copied in the state.
The editor distributes more flow
ers than florist and he asks no
thing in return for them but thanks.
The editor has the greatest oppor-
tunity to convert men and women
to his way Of thinking on public
questions. AS, the lighthouse on
the shore warns the ships from the
rocks the editor can warn the pub
lie from frauds and fakirs.
The editor has the greatest oppor-
tunity to protect society from evil
by standing for the law and Great
ing public sentiment for it.
The editor never tires of boosting
his town and county, and if both do
not grow it is not his fault He
helps the deserving young men with
words of commendation and re-
strains the old by words of warning
His field of usefulness is broader
than any one else in the community
and if he does not get any returns
for his efforts for settlement he has
a sufficient reward in seeing things
get better.
He rejoices in his opportunity for
service to his fellow man, his town
and his country, and go on his way
rejoicing, whether or not he gets
any returns for it.

has been costing from $3.50 to S2.55

with an additional charge of 25 cents

ment on the Tempe road is $2.25 per

grading amounts to s7,80480, most
of which is for shoulders. If it is
all charged to pavement, however,
it would add approximately rs cents
per square yard to the cost OF the

The construction cost per mile
amounts to less than $4,000 for an
eighteen foot pavement with three
foot shoulders anG other Incidental
work. The present Maricopa coun-
ty highway work is costing % per
cent above the bids received yester-
day on concrete paving. The bids
received for the bitulithic paving
are approximately $3.50 per yard
including grading for this six-inch
paving against a cost Of approx
mately SO per yard for five inches
of work in the city of Phoenix. This
shows a marked reduction in paving
cost in conformity with other drop

GALLUP COMES THROUGH
Gallup Her3ld)

Gallup has raised and forwarded
it's quota of the amount it was ne
cessary to raise to insure the i'm
prcyement of the str Itch of the Ma
tional Old Trails highway between
I.ilptCn and Adamana. This was
$3.50
Sometime ago our neghbor across
the line passed bond issue OF
SITS 900. for road construction and
maintenance. $4,000 Of this was al
lowed to the northern part of Apa-
che county, or the stretch of road
referred to above. BUT. the law
provided that the bonds could not
be sold below par, and on asking for
bids, "a was the highest bid receiv-
ed. So it looked as if the route
that Gallup in on would not get the
benefit of this money. The matter
was important to the northern route
folk because of the fact that the
Lupton-Adamana road is the worst
piece of road between Gallup and
Holbrook 1t is about fifty miles in
length and $4,000 spent right would
put a hard surface on the worst
places and improve the rest.
Bonds were to be sold, or some
action taken about it, at a meeting
of the Apache county supervisors on
August 1. 1t was proposed that the
towns of the Albuquerque-Gallu
Winslow road association raise suf-
f1cient money to make up the differ
ence between the bid of "a made for
the bonds, and par value, this
amounting to $1,000 on the $4,000.
Gallup's share was $500 and it was
raised practically in one day. A
check was forwarded to Burr Porter
at St. Johns.

been burning for some time IN the
basement where it originated before
; it was discovered as the home was
practically filled with smoke from the
basement before sufficient help could
reach the scene and consequently ev-
erything in the residence was de-
stroyed. Mccormick is without water
works and nothing could be done to
fight the fire on this residence and but
for the heroic efforts of citizens
fighting the spread of the fire the
home of Mr.. J. E. Bradley would have
also been destroyed.
The residence of Mr.. Britt which
was destroyed was one of the hand
soonest residences in this section OF
the state. Not only was it beautiful
home, but was substantially built and
of the very best material that could
be obtained ten years ago. Mr.. BRITT
had been for several years selecting
the material with which to erect this
residence and only the best that could
be obtained was, used. The home was
lavishly furnished and almost the en-
tire contents of the home were de-
stroyed. The family who had half
an hour before passed the home on
their way to visit relatives were sent
for and returned to see their home in
ashes.
It could not be learned how much
insurance Mr.. Britt carried, but 1t IS
understood that good portion of the
loss was covered.

The Difference

Both the optimist and the pesslmlst
acknowledged that it costs more to
live nowadays than it used to. The
only difference between them is, that
the former thinks it is worth it, while
the latter feels that he is being badly
skinned.
