ROUNDUP FOR BLACK
 LEG N0CULATION

The big roundup which has been going on in the northern part of Navajo and Apache Counties has been the excuse for many of the local people to take a short holiday. As explained in the State notice which THE NEWS printed last week, great danger of an epidemic of blackleg attends a sudden increase in feed, such as has been the case in the two counties in question. This danger can be averted by in- oculation, and our cattlemen are to be congratulated on the prompt and efficient manner in which they have gone about their arduous work.

OH YOU WATERMELON

Some of the ''lads of the village" went on a water melon rampage. It is in- deed their misfortune that they picked Woodruff as a suitable field for their opera tions. Net result, stomach ache, a $20.00 fine and an expensive appeal pending in the Superior Court.
 Ho-humI The dim past seems to bring to mind one or two similar instances, tho unhappiness after an apple raid was purely physical; cause the farmers used shot guns loaded with salt, gave chase, and as one went over the fence, pulled the trigger. During the next few days the mantlepiece made the most comfortable dining table.

A GOOD PEACE DELEGATION

The president has made a fortunate selection in his choice of the American rep resentatives to the peace conference. Allof them are men of experience and of recognized ability. None of them is given to chasing moonbeams.
 There is ground for confi- dence that they will do their best to solve the problems confronting t h e country without sacrificing it's essen tial interests. Their record indicates they will be satis- fled with pleasant words, where real guarantees are necessary; that they will not pledge the nation to a course involving solitary unpre- paredness in a world where unpreparedness has been an invitation to aggressive ac- tion on the part of the un- scrupulous.
 There is far more hope of substantial progress toward peace with such a delega- tion than there could possi- bly, be from a delegation of ardent and sincere visionar- ies.

The high regard with which we have hitherto en- tained the sportmanship of the Leupp Indians has suf- fered a severe setback. Af- ter promising verbally and in writing to meet our fooball team last Sunday, they fail ed to put in an appearance.
 Charity compels us to hope that this inconsiderate act was because of the manag- CTS lack of a sense of the fit ness of things.

ARIZONA GETS PART OF NATION
 AL FOREST RECEIPTS

Albuquerque, N, M,,. Sept. 2S: Arizona has just received a check for S66, ,300.39 from the Treasurer of the United States as it's share of the National For est receipts for the year ending July 1. This amount consists of $42, 43O.51 which represents 25 per cent of the receipts from the National Forests in the state and $23, 869. .88 because of school lands in the Forests.
 These amounts are consider ably smaller than usual because of the greatly reduced National Forest receipts. zi 920 the to- tai receipts of the forests in Ari- zona were $561, coo while this year they dropped to SEA. COG This reduction is due largely to the concession made to the stock men by giving them until Decem- Der ] to pay grazing fees which would ordinarily have been paid last spring. A portion of the reduction is due also to reduced sales of timber.
 
 In addition to the funds sent the state, District Forester F. c. w. Pooler has just received $16.- 756.81 from Washington for the construction of roads and trails within the National Forests of the state This. amount repre- sents 10 per cent of the net re- ceipts of the forests.
 Under existing laws the states within which the National For ests exist. may benefit through National receipts in three ways. First they receive 25 per cent of the receiptsfor roads and schools. These funds are turned over to the states for distribution to the counties within which the Ma tional Forest exist. They are given to the counties in lieu of taxes. the amount given each county depending upon the area of National Forest land within it.
 In addition 10 per cent of the Forest receipts are spent within the Forests for roads and trails. These funds are spent by the Forest Service but, of course. the counties benefit directly by them.
 In Arizona and New Mexico, through their enabling acts, the Forest Service also administers the school sections within Ma tlonal forests turning over the receipts to the State for school purposes. The states, however, have the privilege of giving beck these school lands to the Unit ed States and taking in lieu thereof, other government lands outside the National Forests, in which case. of course. the re- ceipts from this source are re- duced.

Must Keep on making Good"

Life Is an everlasting struggle.
Nothing but the keenest attention to
its great problems will bring lasting
success. There are many that gain
temporary attention and they think
they have made u name for them
selves. The fact Is there are thou
sands OF others with just as much
head striving for place in the sun.
They are watching every loophole for
an opportunity. Often the fellow who
starts right with a small lead can
achieve almost anything he sets out
TO. So folks have learned to take ad-
vantage OF everything that turns up
or that they can turn up. That means
you are never safe In resting on past
laurels. It's case OF making good
eternally or falling down before you
have finished your course.

Sweden, Spain, Switzerland. Esthonia,
Colombia and the Belgian Congo have
all considered it desirable to issue spe-

The Review contains much
valuable information that has
never before been gathered, in

The assessors of the state, in
making their survey of acreage,
have contributed largely to the
value of this Review by making
it possible to give county Stats
tics for all the principal crops.
Prior to the time the assessors
began this work, it was not pos
sible to secure such information
by counties. Within a few years,
if these records are continued,
they will become very valuable.
