THE CALL OF THE WILD
NEWS HOUNDS KILL GLOOM

They're coming! Little children
will cling to their mothers skirts in
terror; good citizens will take to their
cyclone cellars; the police and sher-
ifs forces have sworn in extra dep
uties who are men known for their
dauntless courage and fearlessness IN
the face of imminent peril; several OF
the churches have announced sus-
pension Of services for the day. The
scribes of Arizona will arrive In Nil
ami tomorrow morning for breakfast!
They are leaving Phoenix at a. m.
Their avowed purpose is to begin the
days destruction by eating breakfast
on their Miami and Globe brethren of
the pulsating sypewriter and throb-
bing press. Naturally desperate men,
they will doubtless be doubly desper-
ate after riding from Phoenix to
Miami on an empty stomach.
The newspaper men of Miami and
Globe, faithful to the defense of their
homes and firesides and those Of their
neighbors, will surround the visitors
Immediately after their arrival and
do their durndeSt to stand as living
wall of protection between the invad-
ers and the home folks. They will
first feed the animals, and then try
to stampede them into the Pinal
mountains where they will ride herd
on them throughout the day. AS the
shadows Of evening fall athwart the
western sky, it is hoped that the call
of home and loved ones will be aTous-
ed in their savage breasts and that
they will. bid US fond farewell. We
hope that the subsequent checking up
of the personal property in the dis
trict will reveal nothing missing
which is larger than the town hall.
Scribes of Arizona, your partners
in crime of the Miami-Globe diocese
welcome you into their congregation!

THE AMERICAN SOLDIER MAN


They wear no trappings of glittering
beauty,
Nor medals of silver and gold;
Their garments are war-torn and
dingy,
Their accoutrements rusty and Old
But the badges they wear are the
scars they bear,
The kingliest under the sun.
For each is a pledge of a brave true
heart,
And Of victories valiantly won.
They have followed the flag wher-
ever it led,
And have guarded its spangled folds;
They have added new glory and lus-
tire,
To all the bright emblem holds.
They have battled forever forward,
And never skunk back in retreat,
And never for once have their colors
Been trailed in the dust of defeat.
They have sprinkled the soil Of a
foreign land,
With the richest blood ever shed;
They have shown to the world our
fighting men,
The staunchest the earth ever bred.
They have lifted up arms of invinc-
chile Drawn,
And have fronted with faces Of steel; (;
They have watched through the death
smoke lowering,
The enemy falter and reel
They have camped in the dreadful
marshes,
And An have marched in the tropic sun.
they have seen their comrades sicken
and die,
And have buried them one by one.
They have sighed at The loss of their
leader,
Eut have never faltered nor fled,
With cheers for the noble living.
They have mingled the dinge for the
dead
They have barred their breasts to the
flaming sword,
And have scorned the cannon's
breath;
iHey nave lougnC on the Held fear
full fight,
And have grappled with grisly death
They have bitten the dust of hostile
land,
And have weathered its shot and
shell;
And have cried alond in an ecstacy
As they knelt in the pits of hell.
But they make no fuss about the
job,
They don't talk big and brave
They know they're in to. fight and win,
Or help to fill a grave.
They are no mama's darlings, but
they do the best they can,
For they are the chaps that win the
scraps,
The American soldier man.

FALL PREPARATION OF THE BEET LAND
TENDS TO HIGHER YIELDS

Favorable prices and weather have speeded up the
grain harvest permitting farmers to devote their atten-
ton to the FALL PREPARATION" Of next years
beet land.
The advantages of the Fall PREPARATION of land. in
tended for beets the following year is no longer ques-
toned. Time in which to do the work has been the factor
limiting the amount done.
This year with time yet available before the beet
harvest. growers may well take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to do more Fall Preparation of the land.
Fall Preparation includes more than just fall plow-
ing. Manuring, double discing ahead of the pillow, plow-
ing and finally working down the plowed land with a har-
row or disc set straight are the operations involved. I-
rigation should also be included if the land is too dry to
pillow up properly.
Light irrigations applied at frequent intervals give
better results than heavier applications OF water at wild
er intervals.
Growers with a limited amount of water available
for future irrigations OF the beet crop should give careful
consideration to the best methods of applying the water.
Whether or not two or more light irrigations are more
feasible than one heavy irrigation must be decided with
a knowledge OF local conditions.

LABOR DAY PROCLAMATION

LABOR has arisen through great obstacles. powerful op
position and bitter preJudices to the commanding position it
now occupies in our civilization. 1t is fast eliminating power
ty, starvation wages. unsanitary conditions and hazardous
places to work. and is raising the standard of living. With
these Improvements has come to the public mind an apprecia-
ton of the dignity OF labor.
ORGANIZATION has been the effective weapon with
which 1t has achieved this important standing. Had they not
organized, men who are now receiving wages adequate to
provide comforts and luxuries for their families, would still
be earning only enough for the barest necessities, and strike
breakers, who take the jobs of union men at high wages while
they are out on strike, would be receiving starvation wages,
were it not for the very unions they seek to destroy.
THE PROSPERITY of each community and of the whole
country depends to a great extent upon the scale of wages
paid to laboring men. If wages are low, the laborer has little
to expend; if high, the banker, the merchant, the farmer,
the professional man and all others share in his prosperity.
Toll is honorable and dignihed.
Therefore. |, William B. Ross, Governor OF the State of
Wyoming, do set aside and designate Monday, the first day
of September, 1924 as Labor Day, and ask all TIE citizens
of the State to close their places of business and participate
in the parades, meetings and festivities in honor of those who
contribute SO largely to the happiness and welfare of the
American people.

carrying on the work here so success
fully is never discouraged, no real
Salvation Army officer ever is-but
here is abundant evidence THAI the
work Of the Army during the next
twelve months is going to anguish
unless the people Of Augusta, Halo
well and Gardiner come Loyalty to the
rescue.
Like every other campaign, there
have been unfounded rumors. But
the advisory committee of local citi-
zens behind Ensign Lawrence are
authority for the statement that
every penny of the money raised in
this campaign will be expended here,
in just the maner which has been de-
scribed in the literature sent out and
in the press-no part of this money
goes to help support general head
quarters or for any other outside pur-
pose. Every case assisted in the past
year, was a bona fide case needing
pressing assistance. and no worthy
case has ever been turned away.
Augusta, Haliowell and Gardiner
the three gem cities Of the Kennebec
Valley-have their reputation at stake
in this campaign. 1t Is the belief OF
the workers that when the facts are
known they will not fail. Send con-
tributions to the Salvation Army. Z

Father and son clashing at swords
points with neither aware of the re-
lationship-that Is one of the tense
and gripping scenes in "Scara-
mouche". Rex Ingram's super photo
play which opened q three days run
at the Opera house Monday. TO one
who likes an unusual love story with
smashing and tempestaous situations
this play will be far from tedious
despite its length, some two and three
quarters hours.
The time of the story is just before
the French Revolution and it is built
around the fortunes of citizen Moreau
in the tile role which Is taken by
Ramo Navarro. He Is ably supported
by Alice Terry as Aline de Kercadiou.
his sweetheart and Lewis Stone who
is a powerful figure in the role Of the
naughty count close the ear of King
Louis XVI.
The play takes its title from the
fact that Moreau who fed his royal
home takes up with wandering band
OF players and later writes a play
called "Scaramouche" meaning a buff
foon or clown with himself In the title
role. There is rapid sequence OF
scenes showing the first rumblings OF
the coming revolution ana the reans-
tic duel In which Scaramouche clash
es with the Count who afterwards
proves to be his father. Scaramouche
due to diligent practice had become
an adept at sword play and although
the Count was considered the best in
France he is worsted by the slighter
Scaramouche who spares his life
when the Counts SWORD arm is made
useless.
The play at times reminds one OF
the prisoner of Zenda, especially as
several characters such as Danton
and Robespierre are taken by the
same actors. The mob scenes are es-
pecially striking and there is appar-
emit throughout a careful effort to
keep to historical incidents and sur
roundings. It IL gripping, tense and
absorbing story that does not tire
despite its heavy atmosphere.
