with intent to save his life.
 Gray, after he fired the two shots, did not attempt to escape. He stood on the corner until Deputy Anderson of the sheri's office, who saw the shooting, came D and arrested him.
 Gray Makes Statement
 In the sheriffs office where he was taken and questioned about the shoot ing, Gray was very composed. He made statement before Assistant County Attorney Davis in which he admitted that he had shot young Mel son in punishment for his daughters honor Nelson, he said, was engaged to his daughter, Ruby, 20 years old, and ran away, leaving her an expect ant mother Nelson refused to marry the girl, he said, although she had come to Phoenix prepared to mar. " him but Nelson went to Califor- nia
 From accounts of the whole affair given by county officials it seems that efforts have been made for some time past to have Nelson marry the girl, whose baby was born last Sunday.
 After Nelson went to California he was brought back here by Deputy Al Dewitt on Dec. 20 to face statutory charge At a preliminary examina- tion in a justice court he admitted that he was. the father of the child and pleaded guilty to the charge. il
 The county attorneys office agreed to drop the legal prosecution of the case until after the Christmas hcli- days during which it was expected that something would be done concarn- ing Nielsons marriage with the girl
 During the latter part. of last week Nelson and the girl were brought to the county attorneys office and left alone for half hour After his inter view with the girl, lNielson stated tha, he would give his answer on the mar, r;age question after Christmas. He intended to talk the matter over witt, his mother, he said, but at that time he was not ready to become Rdby's husbard.
 Delays Too Long
 Nelson went back to Buckeye to spend the Christmas holidays with his mother and father. Ruby went to

St. Joseph's hospital where last Sun day morning she gave birth to a child.
 Although Nelson had promised toI come up to the county attorneys office to give his answer he did not appedc there and Tuesday morning Gray took matters in his own hands and exacted satisfaction from the. man he believed responsible for the daughters downfall.
 According to the attorney retained by Nelson to represent him on the statutory charge he faced, the boy had agreed to give $500 for the sup port of the child and to pay hospital expenses required under the state statutes. The question of marriage was to have been settled between the parties concerned Tuesday morning. Since he was brought here from Cali fornia, Nelson has been released from custody on bond.
 Several Witnesses
 There were several witnesses to the tragedy of Tuesday morning One of them, E. L. Lish, 34S North Ninth avenue, declared that he didn't hear any conversation pass between Gray and the father and son. Gray was ! standing not more than six feet from the two, he said, ane as ne walked past the group, he saw Gray pull out his gun and fire twice.
 Gray is B years old and is deputy sheriff at Miami. One of his daugnt- CTS, Mrs. Lee White, is a resident of Phoenix. Gray is being held pending an investigation of the shooting.
 Conscious after he arrived at the hospital few minutes after being shot, Nielson talked with Judge Davis of the county attorneys office, con- cerning the case. According to Judge Davis he said:
 1Tf MT. Gray thinks I am the father of the child do not blame him much 1 for what he did"
 1 He was asked whether or not he was the father of the child and an swered that he didn't know for sure. v
 He stated that neither he nor his father was armed and .ha+ they did not approach Gray before the shots were fired.
 l Nielsons father was struck through the leg by the second shot Gray fired It is believed that Gray did not in tend to get the father bat that the latter was in the line of fire between Gray and the son. He is net however believed to be seriously injured.

EXI ILLLAAI MCKINLEY challenged that the preside..ey casts its shadow an no man but once and that if the chance besmissed then it will never
 come again. Twice the Republican nomination seemed to be within Me Kinley's reach-in the national con ventions of 1888 and 1892. Each time
 he put it away, content to wait his proper turn, when he did not have to
 shake the kree to bring down the
 ripened fruit of his patience,
 Mckinley was beaten for the speak crship by Thomas B. Reed in 1889, and he left Washington defeated con gressman only six years before he re
 turned as president-elect. Had he been speaker, and, instead of Reed in- cured the title of "Czar," or had he not been turned out of congress - :.
 had he won those smaller honorS he well might never have won the highest honor A disappointment < manfully borne enlists the popular sympathy, and the author of the Mckinley bill mtered the contest for the presiden- tial nomination in 1896 as one who had suffered martyrdom in the cause of the protective tariff.

I was so weak, I couldn't walk across the floor; just had to lay and my little ones do the work. I was almost dead. I tried every thing heard of, and number of doctors. Still I didn't get any relief I couldn't eat, and slept poorly. I believe if hadn't heard of and taken Cardui I would have died. I bought six bottles, after a neighbor told me what it did for her.
 "I began to eat and sleep, began to gain my strength and am now well and strong. I haven't had any trou- ble since =. sure can testify to the good that Cardui did me. I don't think there is a better tonic made and believe it saved my life."
 For over 40 years, thousands of wo. men have used Cardui successfully, in the treatment of many womanly ailments.
 If you suffer as these women did, take Cardui. It may help you, too.

CAMPAIGN
 IS ID BE EXTENDED

Phoenix Jan. 4-New Year day was the day set for ending the campaign Of the European Relief council in America to raise $33, 3,O00,000 to save ;be lives of 3,50O,O0O child victims of he world war but it will be neces sary to continue the campaign until his amount is wholly subscribed as che childre-, are in a critical condi- tion, it was announced hero at Ari- zona headouarters of the council. The following statement was issued
 Arizona as well as all other states i.' having difficulty in raising it's share of the amount required, due presumably to unsettled financial con ditiohs ani the fact that the council started it's campaign at time when several other campigns were in pro gress. These other campaigns. were largely for local charity. Herbert Hoover, chairman of the European Relief council, has agreed with this sentiment by saying the home needs must come first. He says however: The starving children of Europe are the obligation of every man and wo- man in America who has a penny ;nore than his children and his neigh tors children require. These child ren are the real wastage of war"
 Tn extending the campaign in Ari- zona over into the new year" the statement continues, i've are follow ing instructions from Herbert Hoov CT as follows: Tt is announced that the national collection to date has been secured only by the greatst effort and not more than one-third of the necessary s33,OOO.OO0 has been raised to see these children through until next harvest It is the unanimous decision that we Will not stop until America has accepted as Invisible Guests the. whole 3,50O,00O, and the task would be simple if every one who can maintain an automobile would en- certain at least one Invisible Guest"
 The statement says instructions have been issued to the fl county chairmen of Arizona for continuing the campaign indefinitely.

 A fathers vengeance for the dis grace of his daughter, who lies in St. Joseph's hospital with new born child, was exacted Tuesday morn rg by Ava Gray, of Miami, when, without warning, he shot Jim Nelson, 22 years old, because he believed Mel The shooting occurred at 1O:30 o : clock at the corner of Washington street and First avenue, while crowds of people were all around.

HALF OF FOREST
 FIRES PREvENTABLE

Albuquerque, New Mexico, Dec. 31, 192O:-Field men of the IA National Forests located in Arizona and New Mexico during the past season, fought 426 forest fires, according to District Forester Pooler, of Albuquerque. In his report to the Forester, just made public, MT. Pooler analyzes the entire fire situation during the year just closed. Of the total number of fires 213 or exactly 50 per cent were locat- ed and extinguished so promptly that the area of each was less than one quarter, acre. Of the balance, 13S were held to less than 10 acres each burned over Seventy five fires re- maining exceeded 10 acres each but of these only three caused damage of over 5000 to the Forest resources. One forest, the Coconino with head quarters at Flagstaff, Arizona, had by far the most fires of any in the South west running up nearly 40 per cent of the total for the district. The bulk of these fires occurred during a series | of dry lightning storms late in June l creating an extremely critical situa- 1 tion for several weeks. By concen- 1 trating men and fire fighting equip , ment, and unremitting day and night toll, 14S of these fires were kept be-
 low 10 acres in area, and but one of
 them caused over 5000 damage to 1 the forest.
 r While lightning caused 19S fires i this summer, MT. Pooler emphasizes
 the fact that nearly 200 fires were
 caused by human agency, far too
 great proportion, since all of this latter class are preventable. To re | duce this cause to the minimum IS

through four decades. Having gone into the army as a private in the regiment of another president-to-be- Rutherford B. Hayes-he came out at twenty-two a captain, with the brevet title of major.
 Becoming a lawyer at Canton, O., again he found himself in the midst of industries in their struggling infancy. And for 14 years he was the spokes- man in congress of that Industrial district.
 The young major, when he came to Canton, was clean-cut, outstanding figure, genial in his nature, but with a sober dignity. His readiness of speech, when on his feet, came from his prac- tice of the art in the debating societies of his school days. His habits also had been properly formed in his boy hood when he joined the Methodist church at ten and grew up a youth Who was as careful to keep his tongue as his collar clean.
 All doors in the little town natural ly swung open with welcome to "such a nice young man." and a ma jOr to boot. Although he was yet poor, when Ida SaXtOn, the bankers daughter, who had been to school in Few York city and who had just come back from Europe, smiled yes to him, while they were taking buggy ride" the banker smiled, too, and made them a wedding gift of one of the best houses in Canton. It was from the front porch of that honeymoon dwell ing that Mckinley made his campaign for the presidency in 1896.

COUNTY AGENT LEGETT'S
ADVICE TO THE FARMERS
Practice a Safe Farming System
Good, Feed and Fertility First"
Tells How to Do It.

Do you know that the great slump
in the price of cotton and a lack of
home grown food and feed has play
ed havoc with many Southern Farm
ers? Many farmers are now in a very
critical condition because they de-
pended on one crop system of farm
ing. Farmers who followed a well
balanced system of farming and were
not lured by high prices of cotton
and tobacco into growing only these
crops are now in very good financial
condition.
Are we, as southern farmers, going
to continue to be slaves for the
world; to continue keeping our chill
dren in ignorance; and our farm wo-
men and children continually over
worked? Are we willing to continue
Cutting the markets with over pro-
duction and giving middlemen pro-
fits which we should have and by so
doing have poor food, ragged clothes,
unscreened and unpainted poor hom-
es? When are we going to develop
backbone. grit and determination o
nough to quit being flunky vfor
some credit merchant? The fellow
who fails to grow his food and feed
at home and buys supplies from a
credit merchant year after year on
| credit and in the fall delivers all
Of his cotton or tobacco to the mer-
chant and thereby force the prices
below the cost of production is trai-
tor to his fellow farmers and will al
ways be slave.
There is a safe and. easy way out
for every farmer who will use BRAIN
along with muscle. One may not be-
come rich quick by following the plan
given below but one thing sure, a
good living and many necessities may
be had at all times.
/. Join the County Farm Bureau
and other farmers organizations thai
stand for worth while things. Co
operate with our neighbor farmers
in every possible way.
2. Maintain and increase the fer.
tility of our soils by terracing, drain.
age, crop rotation and proper fertili
zation.
8. Live better than ever before
by growing plenty of fruit, vegeta
bles, bread, meat, butter milk, chick
ems, eggs, peanuts, honey, syrup, wa
termelons, canteloupes, and every
thing good to eat now and always.
4. Grow our feed supply at home
by increasing the acreage of Lespe
deza, corn, peas, velvet beans ant
soy beans, peanuts, rye, oats, clover
(crimson, bur and white,) vetch
rape and other good feed crops which
will produce we'll.
S. Plant dependable cash crop
for market such as sweet and Irisl
potatoes, sugar cane, vegetables, mel
ions, fruits, and hay. Have SOM
good dairy cows, hogs and chicken
to bring in cash all during the year
| Market all farm products thr,
the Farm Bureau.
Z. Plant, hoe, cultivate, pick an,
gin only the amount of cotton we cal
after we have done all the abov
things and see to it that it is grade,
and properly marketed.

community without the shadow of

cerned who came back without a
