ride their own pet hobbies up and
down the PROSTATE carcass OF the
commonwealth the fellows who
put this appraisal upon the worth
of the legislature are the same fell
lows who at election time seek TO
measure a mans legislative fitness
by his ability to straddle a hobby,
pull wires and mix and grow mel
low with the powers that be, who
ever they are. If the state lcgis-
lature is joke, it will cease to be
a joke when Benton county and the
other counties cease to look upon
their representatives as instrument
talities for bringing home the ba-
con for their particular spot on the
map rather than agencies for the
common welfare and the general
upbuilding of the state.
There isn't an ADLER, broader
guaged man in Benton county than
M. M. Moulton. There are far TOO
few of his kind in the legislature
too few successful busy men who
will make the sacrifice necessary
to become a candidate. Benton
county should keep him in the leg
islature lust as long as he is willing
to stay there.
The republican race for county
clerk has narrowed down to Miss
Kathryn Severyns and w. E. Tyler.
Nobody seems to know just when
Miss Severyns began work in the
auditors office. She had been
there some time when ]. c. Syfford
enlisted. She filled out his unex-
pired term and has held two cleo
tive terms since. She has been a
good official and there is no reason
why she shouldn't be a good clerk.
Some say the clerk of the court is
no job for a woman. But present
day activities are proving that
most any job is job for woman
If she is the right woman. But
Miss Severyns will need her past
record to offset that "old-politician-
in-new.jobs" psychology-the nat
ural aversion Of lot Of voters to
making county officialdom a sort
of closed corporation proposition.
The editor Of this paper is for
Walt Tyler for the job, mostly, per-
haps, because Of personal friend
ship. AS a contemporary in a RI
val town Walt has proved himself
a fellow Of ability and a mighty
square shooter. He has the edu-
cation, the experience and the per-
sonality necessary to make a good
clerk. He's a homebuilder and a
taxpayer. Yes, and he has seven
sons and daughters. The editor is
going to mark his ballot for Walt
Tyler's seven kiddies.
No use to overdo the grand and
glorious prerogative at one sitting.
The nominating of the auditor, the
sheriff, assessor, engineer and pos
sibly a commissioner up in the
other fellows district will be post
poned until next week.

Freddie had been given a new

nine o'clock one evening, watch IN

"What time does the sun set to-

"About quarter past nine" an
swered the parent.
"Well," said Freddie, consulting

Flagstaff Speaks Well
 of St. Johns Team

On the 18th, the Normal bask- ct ball team played the Holbrook high team at Holbrook. The Nor nal won by 34 to 8. The follow ing day after a 60 mile auto ride the Normal played and lost at St. Johns. The score, St. Johns 38, Normal 24. St. Johns has no doubt the strongest team in the state. This IS the closest game they have played for several years as they usually make from two to ten times as many points as their opponents. They are scheduled to play in Flagstaff in the near future and the Normal has hopes of making the score closer or even beating them here. This was the first game the Normal has had with St. Johns for about five years. -COconino Sun.

Death of ShowIow Boy

George Reidhead died at his home in Showlow on last Sunday at 4 D. m. He had been severely gassed in France, but upon his return to Arizona and it's healing climate he seemed to have recov- cred. For the past year he has been foreman of the Jaques Sheep Go. but recently he contracted a severe cold and was confined to his bed. The end when it came was unexpected. He had been conversing with friends, when suddenly he paused, and when they bent to look at him, his spirit had already winged away. -Holbrcok News.

LOCAL JOTTINGS
 FROM EAGAR

Edgar items, if related in de- tail would fill volumns. but in brief may be related in one word ''fu.'' In fact the town reminds one of GoIdsmiths' book, "The Deserted Village" !" The streets are barren save here and there may be seen a struggling quad rupped, looking with wistful eyes into some well filled barn.
 The houses cold and dreary in appearance give no sign of life save a small ribbon of smoke that curls from the chimneys and is soon lost in the lowering clouds. Silence reigns supreme, except for the Lordly crow of the cock as he rules his kingdom. the oc- casional n1uiry of the COW after her offspring. or the hum of the motor of the angels of mercy as they go from house to house ad- ministering their relief. From the latter may be learned that the sick ones are recovering.
 Doubtless before many days the disease will have made its rounds and every thing will go on as be- fore.
 Band Concert in St. Johns next Friday evening is dead and buried. May be revived again later on.

Thirty-five Years Ago.

From The Herald files of Mar. 8. 1887
 In this issue of the Herald the grand jury which was appointed by Judge Morrison, gives a few of it's findings.
 There were twenty-five differ ent persons indited and some had as many as four charges preferred against them.
 There were inditments found against George and Bill Graham, and warrants placed in the hands of Sheriff Owens for their arrest. They must have been warned of the fact. however, by the under ground telegraph. for when the Sheriff got to their place, the birds had flown to new pastures where the climate was more healthful.
 There have been some six or eight leave our county for its good. The list of the grand jury published in the Herald was a sufficient hint to them that Apa- che county was not what it once was, and that instead of being haven for criminals, it was likely to become a place for them to dread.
 The citizens of Apache county are now hoping that Judge Wright will be able to come to St. Johns and hold court for a month or un- til the docket is cleared, i5 will inaugurate the dawn of a new era.

FROM MESA


 Day. At 10 a. m. in the Mesa high school, a joint session of farmers and their wives met. Lectures of interest to both were given by professors from the U. of A.
 At 200 p. m. a joint session listened to musical numbers by home talent. The women then adjourned to the domestic science room.
 Clothing in the home was ably handled by Miss Ryan. Home Demonstration Agent for Pinal and Cochise counties. She con- pared to-day's styles in clothing with those of twenty and thirty years ago. All comparisons in favor of today. She said, Moth CTS inclined to old fashioned ideas should get more in line with their daughters up-to- date dress. The short skirt and rolled stockings are no more shocking than bloom CTS covered with a medium length skirt and long stockings were a few years ago. "
 1 thought of a time when St. Johns was shocked almost beyond repair when some of her women put on boomers to play a ball game.
 Miss Wills, Home Demonstra- tion agent of Maricopa county, gave a talk on food for children. Particular stress was put on milk as a diet for children as we'll as adults.
 The mems department listened to A. B. Ballantyne on the value of pig clubs to F. J. Crider. horti- culturist, and to Dr. A. E. Vim son, agricultural chemist, all from U. of A.
 A joint session at 7::30 p, m. was entertained with musical numbers by the Mesa High School students under the able direction of Prof. Dury.

THE Philadelphia Baseball Associa-

in Office a few days, George Cartwright,
the new president, has quickly dis
covered the main reason why so much
trouble has existed since the opening
Of the season.
Complaints have been few except in
one matter, the booking Of games. All
protests to the Board of Governors cen :
ter around this one subject. This was
brought out when Father Lynch, of the
st. Thomas team. of Wilmington, pro-
tested several contests regarding the
money his team should have received.
Both the Wilmington pastor and the
other parties concerned were at variance
either regarding the figures at which the
games were booked or the terms of the
contests, but no one had anything in
writing.
President Cartwright said he saw
through the whole thing clearly, and as
a result the Board of Governors went on
record in ordering all booking agents
and managers to file with the secretary
Of the =. Il. A. verifcation of games
