A TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF
GEORGE P. SUBER, A FOUR
YEAR SOLDIER OF LEES

Taps have again been sounded al
the grave of a brave veteran of the
Confederate army, who departed
this life on May 8, 1922, on his 82d
year, He enlisted in Americas, Ga,
on June II, 1861, in Company X,
9th Georgia Volunteers, Captain
James NJ. d. King, who gave his life
to the cause. He served his coun-
try bravely and faithfully until the
surrender at Appomattox, April 8,
1865-four long years. He was
wounded at Gettysburg, Penn, July
2, 1863, and carried the effect of
that wound to the day of his death.
After the surrender he returned
home, assumed the duties of a good
citizen and farmer, honored and re-
spected by all who knew him. For
over thirty years a justice of the
peace and was filling that response
bic position at the time of his death.
His record as a soldier and that of
a citizen and official is one that he
leaves as rich heritage to his de-
cendants. The ranks of the Confed-
crate veterans are thinning fast and
few of US are left of the Army of
the Confederacy, to mourn at the
grave of departed comra6s and say
farewell dear brother, we will keep
bright the memory of gallant service
and virtues until we are called to
join you in better world.

PHOENIX ENJOYS
FIRST TASTE SOFT
Water FEBRUARY IL

Seventeen months of continuous
labor and an expenditure of $500, 900
was rewarded last Sunday when City
Engineer L. B. Hitchcock released
the water of the Verde Gravity Sys-
TEN into the city mains of Phoenix.
Within a few hours practically all the
mains connecting with the 20-inch
distribution lines were being flooded
with the soft water from the Verde
river, 81 miles away. While the con
struction work of the great water sys-
tenn concluded several weeks ago and
its complete success from an engineer
ing viewpoint had been established.
Manager Thompson delayed the re-
lease of this water into the city mains
on account of the presence of bac-
terial content. The presence of this
organic matter is accounted for by
the fact that a certain amount of sur
face silt unavoidably found it's way
into the pipe lines and intake of the
Verde system during the course of
its construction. This surface silt
naturally carried with it a certain
amount of organic matter which mani
tested itself in the form of pollution
in the early pathological reports. The
simplest way of eliminating this mat
ter was to flush the entire system
until the analysis at the city end would
show the water to lie as pure as it
always has been at the intake. This

ARIZONA HAS A MILLION
SHEEP, REPORT SHOWS

According to an estimate made by
A. A. Johns, of Prescott, Arizona
now has about 100000 sheep, not
including Navajo Indian herds. The
assessed value is s5 a head, and with
lands and equipment, the sheep in
dustry of the state represents an in
yestment of about $15,OOO.OOO
This year the wool crop amounted
to about 100000 pounds, at present
prices valued at around S2,000,000.
Lambs numbered about 100000, valued
at $2,500,0OO gross returns from the
two items being about $4,5OO,000.
1t is estimated that the cost of
running each eve for year is be-
tween $4 and IS. About 100000 ewes
are on the plains near Phoenix
through which city will be handled
half the wool and lamb crops of the
season.
Phoenix tribune., 1922-02-18

method of flushing has been continu-
ed for the past many weeks with an
analysis being made every few days
to determine the progress of purify
ing the entire pipe line. In the face
of considerable opposition and politi-
cal criticism, Avery Thompson, the
city. manager, withheld his permission
to release the Verde water into the
city mains until all danger of pollu-
tion had been absolutely eliminated.
Shortly before going to press, the
following statement was made by
City Manager V. A. Thompson. to
correspondent of this paper:
THE Verde water system is going
to be all we ever had hoped for in
the way of permanent water supply
both from the standpoint of quality
and quantity. All construction work
is completed with the exception of
the upper end of the intake along the
river The sanitary analysis of the
water shows a much purer supply
from a meteorological standpoint than
the city water we have been using.
The Verde water is running as low
as two bacteria per cubic centimeter." :"
The water was turned in Sunday
night, Mr. Thompson added, "on the
strength of a report from the patho-
logical laboratory, made Saturday
which assured the city officials that
the counts made in scientific tests
showed the water perfectly safe for
drinking purposes. 1t was to reach
this point that the turning in of the
water was delayed as long as it has
been" The Verde system consists of
two miles of heavy concrete intake,
parallel to the river, and thirty miles
of redwood pipe line, extending from
! the intake, across the desert to the
Phoenix tribune., 1922-02-18

point of juncture with the city distri-
button mains. If the present rate of
inflow at the intake maintains, City
Engineer Hitchcock said only
about 1000 more feet of the intake
pipe must t'e laid to insure an ade-
quate supply. When completed, the
Verde system will have a capacity of
15,000,0OO gallons a day and with the
proposed reservoir, some day to be
constructed, can sustain a $4,000, 900
gallon per diem flow during peak load
periods. The ordinary 15,OO0,0OO gal
Ion capacity is sufficient to supply a
city of $4,000 inhabitants.

The Green Pea Pirates

speak of, so I guess we can manage
to hold our own for a while. Never
theless, I've got hunch that Wen be
overhauled. OF course, you amt got
no papers to show, Scraggs, and they'll
search the cargo, and cOnfiscate us,
and shoot the whole bloomin' crowd
Of us l bet, a dollar to a doughnut
that fellow Lopez sold US out, after
the fashion of the country. can't help
thinkin' that that gunboat was there
just a-waitin' for us to show up"
For several minutes Mr.. Gibney con-
tinued to study the gunbOat until
there could no longer be any doubt
that she intended TO overhaul them.
He made out that she had long gun
ford, with a battery of two one-pound-
ers on top of her house and something
on her port quarter that looked like a
Maxim rapid-fire gun. About twenty
men, dressed in white cloth, could be
seen on her decks.
Presently Mr.. Gibney was inter
rupted by Captain Scraggs pulling at
his sleeve.
you was a gunner once, wasn't you,
Gib?" said Captain Scraggs in a
trembling voice.
"You bet l was" replied Mr.. Gibney.
"NIy shootin' won the trophy three
times in succession when l was on
the old Kearsarge If l had one good
gun and a half-decent crew, I'd knock
that gunboat silly before she knew
what had hit her."
"Gib, I've got an idee," said Captain
Scraggs.
"Out with it," said Mr.. Gibney cheer
fully.
There was four little cannon low
cred into the hold the last thing before
we put on the main hatch; and the am
munition to load 'em with is slowed in
the after hold and very easy to get
at"
Mr. Gibney turned a beaming face to
the skipper, reached out his arms, and
folded Captain Scraggs in an embrace
grizzly bear. There were genuine tears
of admiration in his eyes and in bis
voice when he could master his emo
tions sufficiently to speak.
"Scraggsy, old tarpot, you've been
long time comm through on the imagi-
nation, but you've sure arrived with
all sail set. l always thought you had
about as much nerve as an oyster but
l take it all back. Wen get them
two little jackass guns and fight a
naval battle, and If l don't sink that
Mexican gunbOat, and save the Mag
gle, feed me to the sharks, for | won't
be worthy of the blood that's in me.
Pipe all hands and lift off that main
hatch. Reeve a block and tackle
through that cargo gaff and stand by
to heave ont the guns"
But Captain Scraggs had repented
Of his rash suggestion almost the mo-
ment he made it. Only the dire neces-
sity of desperate measures to save the
Maggie had prompted him to put the
idea into Mr.. Gibney's head, and when
he saw the avidity with which the lat
ter set to work clearing for action, his
terror knew no bounds.
"Oh, Glib" he walled, I'm afraid we
better not try to lick that gunboat aft
er ALL They might sink US with all
hands"
"Ratsr said Mr.. Gibney, as he
leaped into the hold. 'Bear a light
here until 1 can root out the wheels of
these guns. Here they are, labeled
cream separator Stand by with that
sling to"
But, Glib, my dear boy" protested
Captain Seraggs, "this is insanity"

Miss Selak was born in York. Pa,

in a parochial school. She graduated
from high school when only Is years
old and took a business course at a

worked hard for it. She originated
novel system of taking care of the

SAYS LABOR PRESS
IS PATRIOTIC AND
OPPOSED TOCENsOR
IRepubIican A. p. Leased wire1


CINCINNATI. June 1.-THE labor
press Of the country was described
as patriotic and constructive without
any dictatorship on its part and op-
posed to all political censorship
by Matthew Woll. president of the
International Labor Press of Ameri-
ca. in his annual report made public
here tonight on the eve Of the or
CARNATIONS annual convention.
Use of facts and figures as new
weapon" by organized labor. was ad-
vocated by Mr.. yVoll. who said that
unions that had made use of it had
been able mot only to disprove the
inaccurate statements of employers
but they have been able to turn the
tide of public sentiment and support
on the side of the workers" In the
past. Mr.. Woll said employers almost
exclusively made use of the weapon
and thus were able to fool the pub
lie by doctored figures and misleadi-
ng publicity statements"
A survey of the labor press showed,
Mr. Woll said. that it is opposed to
unlimited immigration. industrial
courts. compulsory arbitration, gov
ernment by injunction. militia sys-
stems, bolshevism. socialism. the /.
w. W. movement and other move
ments of revolutionary tendencies.
On the whole. he said. the labor jour
nails are filled with sane. practical
| and level headed Americanism."
Declaring there was no dictatorship
of the labor press. Mr.. VOLTS report
declared a movement had developed
ito bring the labor press under the
dictatorship of a small group seeking
to dominate the whole trade union
movement" In this connection he
| named William n. Foster. who he
said sought to destroy the present
trade union movement, abolish cap
ital and establish a workers republic.
