BRYAN SAYS JAPAN
HAS ACTED FAIRLY
BY WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN

BY WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The
Shantung question seems to be the
difficult problem just now, but it can
not obstruct the road to peace If ia
pan is willing to surrender posses
sion now or at a fixed time in the
near future. Any fair conditions
that she may suggest for the pro.
lection Of property interests there
can easily be met by China. When
China is recognized as an independ-
ent nation. with full sovereignty over
her domain and freed from the re-
strictions that have embarrassed her
she will have no trouble in securing
the money necessary for the pur-
chase Of any property that aliens
now control.
AS Japan has shown willingness
to conform to the spirit Of the con.
ference that she can be counted upon
to make any concessions that can be
reasonably asked by the interests of
peace in the Far East.
Even the request that Japan
makes for the retention Of the Mutsu.
her largest and newest battleship.
just launched, need not embarrass
the conference if the readjustment
made necessary does not compel the
surrender Of the naval holiday. 1t
would be a serious thing if any de-
mand made by Japan should pre-
vent the entire suspension OF the
construction Of battleships.
The proposition that the United
States be permitted to retain two of
its new battleships and that Great
Britain be permitted to build two
would not only very much lessen the
moral force of the Hughes PROPOSE
ton but, sentimentally speaking, it
would greatly weaken the impress
sion made by the cessation of work
in navy yards
It is possible that the addition
made to Japan's navy by the re-
tention of the Mutsu may be offset
by the scrapping Of an equal tonnage
of smaller ships and it is likewise
possible that such a division might
be made between Great Britain and
America as to permit of the suspen-
sion Of all work on naval craft for
the proposed time 1t would be most
unfortunate if the conclusion of the
conference brought the anti-climax.
The delegates cannot afford to dam.
pen the enthusiasm aroused at the
beginning Of the gathering.

met the necessary requirements will
cease to participate in federal aid.
Under the plan contemplated for a
state bond issue, it will not be nee
essary to levy tax to match fed
eral aid, but the federal aid bill re-
quires that the constitution be
amended so that the state can levy a
tax for this. purpose regardless of

Of tn privilege.
$4,000, 900 Yearly
"In order for the state of Georgia
to get the necessary amendments to
their constitution so as to partici-
pate in federal aid the same will
have to be passed by the legislature
at it's session in 1922 and voted on
by the people in the general election
in November, 1922. If this is not
done next year it will be impossible
for this state to provide the neces.
sary amendments and to carry
bond issue in the time limit allowed
by the federal aid bill and this would
mean that we would cease to par
ticipate in federal aid until we did
take the necessary steps to provide
funds, etc.
Fifth. It has also been suggest
ed that the bonds be issued in a
series of $10,000,000 each year and
this would mean that in addition to
federal aid that approximately $10,-
100000 would be spent in this state
each year and under the present
conditions this would materially af-
feet the financial condition of oun
people and would improve the condi-
tons prevailing at this time and
would give many unemployed, EN-

GET DOLLAR
 VERDICT IN SMOKE CASE

Damages in the sum of $l and court costs were awarded the plaintiffs by a superior court jury at Prescott in the now famous Biles-Wells "smoke dam age" case against the United Verde Extension Mining company. Costs of the case will run between $2,500 and $3,000, it is estimated.
 Earlier in the day the jury had re- ported to the court that they were un- able to agree. This report followed announcement from the jury room that Juror Cooper had been taken ill and required the attention of phys ician. After a doctor had been sum- moned, Judge Sweeney requested the jurors to return and deliberate fur ther, reminding the members that the case had been on trial for nearly six weeks and that much money had been spent by plaintiffs and defendant. A little over an hour later they came in with the verdict.

CONVICT ESCAPES FROM ROAD
 CAMP IN CITIZENS CLOTHING

A convict sent up from Yuma coun- ty not long ago and serving sen- tence of from two to five years, es- capped from the state highway camp in the canyon, Friday night.
 The convict was employed in the tunnel. He exchanged his prison garb for citizens clothes which tallied well with those worn by the compressor man. The guard at the mouth of the tunnel mistook the prisoner for free workman and permitted him to pass, believing he was coming out of the tunnel to secure cup of coffee. The convict carried wrench in his hand, and before leaving the tunnel told a fellow prisoner that if the guard undertook to stop him he would brain him with the wrench. The escape was not discovered until a change of shift.-Superior Sun.

PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE
 MEMORY OF E. H. CRAZE

The report of the death of Ebert H. Crabb-"Jack" Crabb, as every one in the southwest knew him--who succumbed to an attack of appendi- citis recently at Flagstaff, Ariz., came as a severe shock to his many friends all over the west, and more especially to members of the forest service, who knew and worked with him while he was a member of that organization. Born in Kansas in 1881, Mir. Crabb grew up on farm in that state. He drifted west in search of adventure, landing finally in Arizona, where he found congenial occupation as cow boy and later as cattle owner on the ranges of that state. The forest ser vice, then being organized, offered many attractions to young man of MT. Crabb's character and energy.
 In January, 1908, he entered the forest service as guard" the lowest round of the ladder in that work. He rose rapidly through the various grades until in March, 1911, he was appointed supervisor in charge of one of the heaviest-stocked, hardest-to- handle forests in Arizona. His natur- al ability as an organizer and general all-'round hustler had already attract ed the favorable attention of men with large investments in the cattle busi- ness in Arizona, and soon after his last promotion in the forest service he was offered the management of one of the largest range cattle outfits in the southwest, together with a liberal share of stock in the company. He took hold of this property in his usual aggressive manner, and rapidly placed it on a more profitable basis than it had ever before reached, increased greatly its holdings, both in cattle and ranches, and made it model of all that an up-to-date ranch should be. He also became heavy shareholder in the business, and at the time of his death was generally supposed to be one of the wealthiest cattle owners in that state. Also he was one of the most progressive and aggressive stockmen in the entire west. As a member of the advisory board of the Arizona Cattle Growers association, and as an active, influential member of the American National Live Stock association, his advice and counsel were sought by the big men of the industry, while our forest officers were always glad to have his judgment and advice on all matters pertaining to the management of live stock on the national forests.-Will c. Barnes in the Breeders Gazette.

ADDITIONAL STATE NEWS
MAIL ROBBERS LOOT
 NO. WEST OF HERE

Sealed mail cars enroute from New York to Los Angeles as part of Santa Fe train No. z, which is scheduled to arrive here at 2:55 a. m., were en- tered somewhere between here and Barstow last Saturday and Sunday and robbed. Details of the footing of the cars on both dates was kept quiet by local officials and but few of the Needles residents knew anything of the robberies until the daily papers came in Monday evening.
 There is no doubt but that quite a quantity of parcel post mail was taken by the robbers in both instances but it is doubtful if they secured any ready cash, unless some of the par cells contained it. The parcel packag- es were thoroughly gone through by the robbers, and one even had time it is said, to fit on pair of shoes, which he walked off with, leaving the old pair in the car.
 It will be few days before the ex- act amount of the loot taken will be ascertained. In the first instance the robbery was not discovered until the train reached Victorville, when a mail clerk noticed that a sealed car had been broken into. That of Sunday was discovered when the train reached Barstow. Some are of the opinion that the robbers might have got on east of here, but that is not likely to be the case as all passenger trains are carefully inspected here.
 Sheriff Walter Shay of this county and his deputies all along the line, as we'll as Santa Fe special officers, are on the lookout for five men who are believed to have carried out the rob- berries of both Saturday and Sunday nights. Nugget.

HOMEMADE WINE FOR HOME

The country seems to be in fer
ment, as one might say, over the re-
Gently developed fact that every house
holder in the United States is entitled
under the law to make not to exceed
200 gallons of wine for the exclusive
use of himself, his family and ones
intention. Just why the people have
existed since the enactment of the
Volstead act, but the prohibition Of
ficials never advertised the fact, and
many citizens have stealthily manu-
featured and bottled homemade wine
in the dark recesses of their cellars
when they were in fact law abiding
citizens and didn't know it. 1t isn't
necessary to get permit from the
Prohibition Director in order to make
up 200 gallons of wine, the official
announcement says. but one is eX-
pected to notify the director of ones
intention. Just why the people should
be required to give notice of their in
tention to do a legal act is not made
plain, but it isn't much trouble to drop
postal card to headquarters. After
the wine is made the householder has
a right to set it aside and let nature
take its course. However, 200 gal
Ions of wine is the ultimate limit that
any single citizen may make unless he
secures a permit from the Prohibition
Director, deposits a bond and pays the
internal revenue tax on the excess.
But 200 gallons amount to 800 quarts,
or 1900 pints, and with care thai
ought to last until the grapes and ell
derberries are ready next year

WORDS MOST OFTEN
MISSPELLED

/
What is your hard word-the word
which upsets you when it comes to
spelling it? Every educated person
has a word or two, which he or she
uses in their writing, and which they
are always afraid they may misspeli.
Not few people have several of
these brain teGsers, which no matter
how often they may have spelled them
in the past, puzzles them every time
they have to set them down in writ
ing.
The authorities Of the University
of Pennsylvania declare that "judg-
mcnt", recommend" and "allege"
are the most difficult words in daily
use for the average person to spell.
This conclusion was reached after a
study of 100000 spellings in various
cities. A considerable number of per-
sons will invariably insist on putting
superfuous "e" in Judgment,
while others will leave off one of the
necessary ms" in recommend" A
surprisingly large number of people
are still under the conviction that
there ought to be "j' somewhere in
"allege."
Those gentle and excusable takers
who used to get by with the double
vowel, Ell, as in "receive" by putting
the dot exactly between the two let
tiers, have been exposed, when they
took to typewriting. Of course, in the
letter written by hand. this old-time
camoufiage is still used but the type
writer has, exposed any number of
those people who used tricks in hand
writing to hide their lack of knowledge
of spelling.
There are naturally a number of
words not in common use, which upset
the writer. We know a newspaper Of
fee, not a dozen miles from Dexter
avenue, which is upset and divided
when the word medieval comes up. If
man would ask suddenly in that Of
fee how medieval is spelled, he would
Immediately start an old friendly con-
troversy, though the issue has been
threshed out a dozen times. Yet,
there is some excuse for division of
opinion on this word, because, while
medieval is now the accepted form, it
