Hayes had anything to do with

Hayes, he said, out Of revenge,

LEGION APPEALSF FOR
AID FOR EX SOLDIER

Somewhere in Phoenix, according
to a report made to the state head
quarters OF the American Legion in
the state capitol building, there is a
man who, unless he gets a job at
once, will be forced against his wish
es to accept charity. The man in
question is an expert salesman but
since last July has been unable to
get a steady job.
This man enlisted in the army in
Ohio and served overseas. His SER
vice in the army resulted in his being
forced to come TO Arizona for his
health and like hundreds of others
who need it, he has no compensation
coming from the government because
he has been unable to get his claim
through the red tape which surrounds
the compensation bureau.
4 wife and two children. one aged
three and the other one and a half
years, and a mother 73 years old.
are dependent upon this eXsoldier
for their support. He has so far been
unsuccessful in obtaining a job and
now his funds have been exhausted.
He does not want charity but he
would like a job.
Somewhere in Phoenix there is an
employer who needs the services of
this man and this employer is urged
to call at the state headquarters OF
the legion in the capitol and make
himself known.

hold the interior veranda, which looks
upon the orange-filled patio, are two
feet thick. The house is'in practically
perfect condition. Nothing but CEN
turies OF dynamite could injure such
house materially. It was purchased
outright, free ans clear, for $4,000
American money. Half the houses in
town have been for sale at equiv-
alent prices. Today one could not
buy the raw stone for these houses
at the same cost.
During this period OF almost COM
plete isolation the town reverted to
its original Spanish type. The eti-
quette among the better people is
Castilian in its formality. A lady
may be accompanied on the street by
her husband or brother, but no other
man. No man may speak to a lady
beyond a distant and ceremonious
lifting of the hat-unless her husband
is with her The ladies of the better
classes appear upon the plaza only on
evenings of fiestas. Then they make
a formal promenade around the quad
rangle, while the poems keep their dis
tance beyond the street lines and the
excellent band plays. Then they go
home and innocent revelry reigns un-
til 10 o'clock--on very special occa-
sions-and then the fun is over for
all hands.
No Amusements in Tepic
There have been no amusements,
as we understand the word. There is
but one moving picture house in
town, and although the film was a
lurid one the night l was there not
more than 20 people we're in the
house. They do not go to public af-
fairs except on the rare occasions
when there is good concert. Then
they turn out in body, for the la

dies of Tepic are truly musical. They
entertain each other at "at homes
when it is the custom for the host
esses and guests TO play classical
music, and, | am informed by an au-
thority, to play it we'll and with gem
uine feeling. They do not cook or
keep house, for that is beneath the
dignity of lady reared under the
rule of Spanish etiquette. When they
walk abroad each is accompanied by
her servant, just as each man Of
quality has a mozo dogging at his
heels. Race suicide is unknown in
Topic.
1t is no wonder that some OF the
conservatives think that the town will
be spoiled by the coming. Of the rail-
road. But Topic as q city is thankful
down TO its utmost outliers. For the
railroad means profitable farming and
profitable mining and plenty of work
and prosperity. Even the arrieros are
being convinced.
'Tf,' said my sad friend, "if the
railroad brings me more work for my
little mules | shall say no more"

TEPIC, Nayarit, Mexico, March %
To-day Topic is an unspoiled city
For years it has been almost cut off
from contact with the outside world,
It's isolation has been that of an isle
in an unsailed sea. In q few more
months it will have been spoiled, for
the railroad has come to town. Per-
sonally. / prefer my cities little
spoiled. There is more doing.
1T is of surety most sad" said
the arriero this morning, lifting woe
begone eyes from beneath the shadow
OF one of the immense sombreros
they favor in these parts. The hat
seems to be worthy of an interpola-
ton in the Iliad of his woes. The
Tepic headgear is so wide that when
three men pass each other on a. city
pavement they are obliged to tilt and
nlaneoeuvre like so many schooners
in a cup race. 1t is q good, sound,
substantial hat, too. made Of solid
materials by days work. As write
an Indian passed my window under
one of these affairs. The upturned
bell of the brim was filled with alli-
gator pears. from the center of which
the crown thrust up like a. cathedral
spire in a dusty Mexican landscape.
The Arriero's Complaint
"The railroad, senior" said the ar
riero, has murdered my wife and
turned my little children out upon
the streets to die"
1t isn't true, of course. The facts
in the matter, as l am informed by
the friend who interpreted for me, is
that the arriero made a desperate eff
fort TO turn the lady and the chill
dren out upon the streets himself
II rxyff1 hAt
younger and handsomer demoiselle to
take the place of the departing help
meet. The helpmeet did not depart
however. and, after battle held her
place, and the pair are now living
together happily. 1t was the other
woman who was heartbroken. NY
friend tells me she sobbed about the
neighborhood all the-rest of the day.
However, the arriero expressed the
sentiment of his fellow mule drivers
and the bull Whackers who handle
four yoke of oxen to immense carts,
of which the wheels are made of solid
ebony and in which the only steel
that appears is the chain to which
the oven are yoked. They went so
far in their efforts to resist the
march Of progress that they are ac-
cused of having burned some of the
bridges which the Southern Pacific of
Mexico built in these parts. Bandits
were charged with the burning, the
bandit being the convenient goat for
about everything subversive of pub
lie order that is reported in Mexico.
But the people Of Tepic rather favor
the bandits. Not to put too fine
point on it, they say the bandits did
no burning at all.
Topic Beautifully Built
In any event, the situation of Tepic
has been interesting. II was a lively
mud village when the Spaniards first
fought their way to the west coast
Now it is town OF fifteen or more
thousand people, with narrow streets.

THREE CARLOADS Of
GRAPE CUTTINGSAR
RECEIVED IN STATE

Approximately three carloads OF
grape cuttings have been received
from California for planting in the
southwestern part Of Arizona in the
past two months, according to a
statement made yesterday by Don G.
Mote, state entomologist. Two car
loads Of the cuttings, he said. went to
Yuma, and the other car was divided
between Phoenix and Casa Grande.
In order that the cuttings could be
imported, he said. the state law re-
quires the cuttings to be dipped in
hot water to prevent a disease among
the grapes known as phyloxera.
The cuttings in Phoenix and Casa
Grande, he said were received in
small shipments and We're dipped
under his direction in small watts pro-
vided for that purpose. the water be-
ing heated TO a temperature OF 125
degrees Fahrenheit In Yuma. he
said the two cars OF cuttings, one
containing about 100000 pounds and
the other. $4,000 pounds of cuttings
were received at the same time. A
large vat filled with water heated by
means of a steam pipe from an old
stationary engine was used. Mr.. Mote
said, to dip the cuttings. They were
NtciSff1 III a. ldL Ep NAdLtt anu lowered
into the vat by means of crane. he
said, and the dipping process, which
was done under his direction. occu-
pied about four days.
Almost every available grape cut
ting which could be obtained in the
salt river valley, Mr.. Mote said. has
been planted and several thousand
pounds of cuttings imported in addi-
ton. The major portion Of the cut
tings planted, he said, were the
Thompson seedless variety, although
a large number Of Malagas, Muscats
and Black Manuka cuttings also were
Imported.
