CANDIDATE FOR JOB
OF COUNTY SCHOOL
SUPERINTENDENT

Kate V. Kinney, the republican
candidate for county school sup
erintendent at the cmoing cleo
ton, comes before the electors
of Navajo county as an able, ex-
perienced and eminetly qualified
teacher of many years service.
Words of highest commendation

resident of the state since 1900
and of the county for twenty
years and has held a first grade

and holds a Life Diploma to teach.
She also holds State certificates
from Missouri and Minnesota.
In competition she won the
Helen Miller Gould western
scholarship. offered the western
states by New York University,
given by Helen Gould in memory
Of her mother. For two years
she has been principal of the
public schools of St. Joseph and
is now teaching at Manila.
Her experience in teaching in
the conduct Of schools and her
long residence in the state and
county amply qualify her for the
position to which she aspires.
Her reputation as a woman of
refinement. her record as a tea
cher, her Americanization work
her experiencein businessaffairs,
all must appeal to the voters of
the county that in the selection
of her to the office of county
superintendent of schools there
is an assurance of an efficient

the county's school affairs.
Mrs. Kinney is republican
and a candidate upon the repub-
lican ticket, but the office is
absolutely non-partisan.
A vote for Mrs. Kinney is to
advance the efficiency of our
school system.
Her election means competent
management and intelligent su-
pervision.

Responsibility of Loss Of
State Funds Placed on
Former State Treasurer

Phoenix, Oct. 18.-Not one
ounce of responsibility can be
placed on the shoulders of Tom
Campbell for the failure of the
Central Bank of Phoenix, not
withstanding all the statements
to the contrary attributed to ex-
J Governor Hunt.
Reference to the record of the
State Treasurer's office discloses
the fact that this ''fly-by- night
concern, to use Hunts term.
was designated as state
depository by Governor Hunt in
1918. although the exact date
does not appear. In those days
of efficient and business-hke
administration. itappears to have
been quite customary to waive
such little formalities as desig-
mated in writing and to orally
approve the making of a bank
a state depository.
The treasurer's record further
show that state funds were on.
deposit with the Central Bank
of Phoenix in August, 1918,
when D. F. Johnson was state
treasurer. State funds to the
amount of SIS, 900 had been de-
posted with the Wilcox branch
of this institution as early as
June 80, 1916. However the
bond of the National Surety Co.,
furnished as security for state
deposits on November 90, 1918,
states that the bank was desig-
mated as state depository on No
vember 21, 1913.
In July, 1920, the records show
State Treasurer HIS. Ross trans
mitted to Governor Campbell
for his approval the surety bond
of the Central Finance corpora
ton in the amount of $4,000
Despite the fact that the Cover
nor failed to approve the bond,
and without apparently being
deferred by the Governors dis
approval Of the bond on July %,
1920, Ross proceeded to deposit
state funds with the Central
Bank of Phoenix to approximate
tely the amount of the Central
Finance corporations bond.
Believing that Ross is liable on
his bond for this action, Cover
nor Campbell directed the Attor-
ney General to bring suit to re-
cover and as a result suit was
filed in Superior court here today
against the former treasurer's
bondsmen.
The responsibility for the loss
of state funds in the Central
Bank of Phoenix rests squarely
on the former state treasurer,
who proceeded to deposit state
funds in the institution knowing
that the surety bond furnished
by the bank had not been ap-
proved by Governor Campbell.

ARIZONA WINS
In FIGHT FOR
3 CENT FARES
Reduction in Passenger Rates
SdUes the People of Arizona
Million Dollars a Year.

Crowning the efforts of sever
al years continuous work, study
and contest, Arizona has at last
won the famous "Three-Cent
Fare Case" " This means that a
reduction of LIE per mile has be
obtained on all passenger rates
throughout the state. Stats
tics show that this reduction a.
mounts to an actual saving of a
million dollars a year to the
people of Arizona and it's accom-
plishment ha" only been made
possible through the untiring
effort and expert handling of
this matter by Corporation Com
missioner Amos A. Belts. This
can only happen
If
the voters of Arizona recognize
the fact only a man of Amos A.
Belts experience and familiarity
with this subject can accomplish
its fulfillment when the case
comes up for oral argumentnext
December or January. The
foregoing is one of the many
vital traffic matters that are now
pending before the Interstate
Commerce Commission which
will require both experience and
familiarity with the subject if
they are to be won. Let the
people Of Arizona continue to
profit by his experience, ability
and and re-elect Amos A. Belts
as Corporation Commissioner, an
office he has so ably and con-
scientiously filled in the past.

Seed Corn.

Now is the time to think about the
supply Of seed corn to be used within
the next three or four weeks. Little
sympathy can be given to the farmer
who puts off purchasing his seed until
the day he wants to sew it.
Seed corn should be tested for ger
mination before planting. This test
should run at least above IS per cent.
A five per cent reduction in the yield
of an acre of corn will mean about two
bushels less per acre. Thus is the
Importance of having seed that will
test SO to 100 per cent termination.
1t is simple matter to test the
termination of seed corn. If kernel
from each Individual ear cannot be
tested separately, one should at least
place each 100 kernels in pan or pot
of dirt and, after about ten days,
count the seeds that have terminated
to ascertain the percentage of germi-
nation. This is a crude method but is
superior to no test at all.
The price of seed corn will vary
from $3.50 to 1925 per bushel, de-

Congressman Coins New Phrase.

Many years ago a rural member of
congress arose in his place in the
house and asked that the speaker
grant him leave of absence, explaining
that he wanted to fix up his fences and
attend to other matters at home. It
happened to be the year of a congress
sional election and there was more
than suspicion that the matters the
member wanted to attend to related
to his reelection. The phrase fixing
up his fences" became incorporated
into the political language of the coun-
try and is used constantly by persons
who have no idea of it's origin.
A few days ago another rural mem
Der arose in his place in the house and
asked the speaker to grant him leave
Of absence, explaining that he had to
attend to spring plowing This also
happens to be the year of a congress
sional election, and the laughter which
greeted the request indicated curiosity
as to the nature of the blowing the
member wanted to do. "Spring plow-
ing' could apply to politics as fttingly
as fixing fences" and it may be that
the political language of the future
has been given another phrase as rich
in meaning as it will be obscure in

Treating Seed Potatoes.

There are only three commonly
known methods for treating seed po-
tatoes for scab. One method uses one
pint of formalin, 40 per cent solution
to 80 gallons Of water, in which the
potatoes are soaked for period of
one hour and half to two hours.
The second treatment is known as
the hot formalin treatment and is ef-
fective against the disease of Rhizoc-
tonia, commonly known as black scurf
or dry stem rot. This method re-
quires two pints of formalin, 40 per
cent solution to 80 gallons of water,
maintained at temperature of 118
to 1872 degrees F. Potatoes should be
soaked in this solution for the same
length of time as for the other treat
ment.
The third method is that Of using 4
ounces of corrosive sublimate to 80
gallons of water. The corrosive sub
Innate is dissolved in about gallon
or so of warm water and added enough
to make up 80 gallons. This treatment
is also effective against Rhizoctonia
as we'll as scab. It's advantage lies in
the fact that the corrosive sublimate is
a deadly poison and can be used only in
wooden containers such as barrels and
tubs, as it eats metal.

A Land of Opportunity.

Northern Minnesota has other
things besides it's stimulating climate
to congratulate itself about this
spring. One of them is that the COL
lapse of land values that has been and
is causing SO much distress in Iowa,
Illinois, Wisconsin,, Nebraska and
even parts of southern Minnesota, is
not felt at all. Newspapers from
those sections contain an unprecedent-
ed number Of auction sales, mortgage
foreclosures and bankruptcy proceed
ings this year, indicating that the ire
mendous rush of farmers and others
in those sections to buy land at highly
inflated values two and three years
ago has brought misery and ruin in
it's wake.
Some complaint was heard once be-
cause the land boom did not hit north
ern Minnesota, but what relief now
that instead of an artifcially stimu-
lated furry there has been a steady
growth and permanent development in
town and country alike.
Those other sections may have their
good points, and their present misfor-
tune awakens deep sympathy, but
northern Minnesota is progressing,
slowly, perhaps, but steadily, towards
a real prosperity that in time will at
tract the eyes of the world.-Duluth
