WE APOLOGIZE


 When newspaper sees fit to offer an apology for statement it has made it is certainty that great injustice has been done and realizing that be the herewith extend profound apology to lackass the southwest and fevently the ghost of that noble animal who bore Joseph and Mary into Jesalem
 Recently We likened the editor of the Mohave Coun- ty Miner, of kinS1nan. Arizona. to jackass following his untrue statement that there is raveabe highway tlaversing the southern part of Arizona.
 And now Brother Damon is all puffed up the compliment He reminds that it the jackass that made the discovery of Tombstone pOssibethat it was ackass that bore Joseph and Mary into Jerusalem. Upon further thought and due consideration of the char acteIStic traits of the noble jackass. admit that trfe nasty in judgment, and freely apologize for the injustice of the comparison.
 Bro Damon still avows that .therc are no roads leading west from Tombstone to Yuma. along what they pleased to call the Spanish Trail Further: ''We reterate there is road the south part of the state. and we dare the Prospector editor to rlthuy flute it.''
 From the above statements our readers may under stand why did the iackasSes such injustice in mak ing the comparison.
 Those who have had the pleasure of motoring over the standard built highway souhern Arizona. in clung the 25me stretch of paved road between Bisbec and Douglas. the excellent highway between Tombstone and Tucson. through Benson. will wonder that any newspapeman could possibly be ignorant of advancement ill his state to have no knowledge of the existence of such modern arteries of travel.
 We certanly take up the dare of the kngmaIl editor and offer in all truth the statement that there Is not only road across the southern part of the but highway that not excellad ill ANY part of Ai- Zona.
 Besides being part of the Old Spanish Trail. it is state highway. fact known citizen of Arizona who has kept abreast of the times during Arizona road building activities

FARM LABOR PLENTIFUL

The boys who counted going back to the farm any time the silk shirt wages of the factories got frayed at the wristbands may have another guess coming. The farmers at the beginning complained great deal that the ust' competition of the urban industries was forcing them either sell rerench the point of carrying the farm work themselves.
 But necessity is a fruitful mother In due time she led forth substitute for the farmers hired The business of the farms is going usual this spring. There has been considerable curaiment of activities, according to the department of agriculture, which ports that the supply of farm rabOr exceeds the demand by 13 per cent.
 The tractor and other abOrsaving devices doubtless have played part in this and there has been change in agricultural methods that does not count upon hired la bOr.

After the dance the players and
