Enlogies on the death of the Ger
man Ambassador. Baron Won Nathan,
Indicate more eloquently than any
thing else the changed attitude of the
Unfted States toward Germany in the
10 years that have elapsed since the
outbreak of war.
The German Ambassador came here
in an atmosphere which had by no
means been cleared of the feeling or
suspicion and resentment engendered
by Count Won Bernstorff. The Ger
man embassy. which had since the
neutrality days been as ostraciZed,
was not a place to which official
Washington relished invitations. Bar
On Won Nathan knew that the basis
of the ill-feeling was not so much war
hate as lack of confidence. WASH
ineton had mistrusted the German
embassy of 1914. and had come to look
uDon the trickery of it's military ana
naval attaches as an abuse OF neutral
ity which the eXigencies of war dld not
excuse.
Won Absolute Confidence.
The baron was not the first Ambas'
saCior to follow the resumption OF uip-
lomatic relations, but he MADE tne
greatest strides toward healing the
old sores. His method was simple
he opened his home to the officials ana
diplomats of Washington and his per
sonality was such that all memory OF
the arrogance and superiority complex
which had characterized the embassy
In 1914 was erased.
Yet Baron Won Nathan in no sense
cringed or toadied to Americans. He
was courteous to everybody and was
as careful a diplomat as official WASH
ington has ever had. But even TINS
would not have been sufficient to WIN
him the place he occupied When ne
died He had achieved something
which few diplomats accomplishing
had the absolute confidence OF the
American Government.
Followed Formula of Honesty.
go win confidence. Baron Won Malt
zan followed a formula Of honesty
and straight forward dealing. If he
gave his word on behalf of his govern
ment it was kept. Nobody doubted for
a moment that the Berlin government
was behind him. But, best of all, the
German government demonstrated
time and time again that its word
could be relied upon. Slowly but
surely America regained her faith in
Germany. Today, due to the skill
with which Baron Won Nathan con-
Quoted the diplomatic relations here,
the Germans stand on an equality with
all other nations in so far as the value
of a plighted word is concerned. All
this has happened in 10 years.
War hate is no longer manifest and
official Washington accepted Germany
in her former place as a great power
long before the League of Nations
gave Germany a permanent seat on
fke council at Geneva. To the person
Ability of Baron Won Nathan, his good
judgment, his tact and his honesty
may this good result be attributed. AS
Secretary of State Kellogg said in
his eulogy, Baron Won Maltzan's place
will be hard to fill.

DIR. SCHUBERT MENTIONED.
State Department Officials, However
Doubt Appointment.

The name of DIR. Carl Schubert,
secretary of state in the German
foreign Office, is being heard in
speculation here as a possible success
sor to Baron Won Nathan, German
ambassador to the United States, who
was killed in an airplane accident
yesterday. Reports here are that DR..
Schubert has desired such an assign
ment as relief from his arduous
duties during the last three years.
State Department officials expressed
doubt that the German government
could spare DR.. Schubert from his
present duties. He is a career diplo-
mat of wide experience and noted
ability, and has been keyman Of the
German diplomatic machine in all the
recent weighty conferences and de-
hberations with Germany's neighbors
Shows Result of Work.
Recent visitors in Berlin say that
he has been showing the strain Of
his labors in the foreign office, and
that it appears possible the govern
ment might be forced to permit him
to turn to some less trying work for
a time for the sake of his health.
The German authorities can hardly
fail to note the evidence of respect
and admiration for the late Baron Won
Nathan which marked official mes
sages of sympathy and regret at his
death which went out from Washing
ton yesterday. 1t was evident both
in the message from President Cool
idge to President Hindenburg and in
the messages and statement made by
Secretary Kellogg.
Schubert is a man of the same long
training in the diplomatic service as
Won Nathan, and it is believed pos
sible by some observers here that he
may be called upon to continue the

SUPT. kIMBALL, OF F. D. CO.,,
 ARRIVES VIA .AIRPL ANE

Charles Kimball, Plume Dredge Company superintendent, after visit of about three months on the Outside, principally in San Francisco, was a Tuesday arrival, having come via air plane from Anchorage. He also is most enthusiastic over his airplane trip from Anchorage. The plane, on this occasion, flew over Broad Pass and landed at Nenana, where it re- mained for an hour and half, and then flew to McGrath, where 1t land- ed in the afternoon, coming up here the following morning.
 A fellow passenger of MT. kimball was Dr. Rex Swartz, an official of the Anchorage Air Transport Com pany, who continued with Pilot Ed Young to Nome, to which point Dr. Swartz went with the object in view of establishing a connecting service with the Anchorage plane, for which the people of Nome are said to be quite anxious. This would mean that another plane would be installed at the Nome end, with division point somewhere in this vicinity.

Trade at Home
Week-Mar. 21-28

"How it pays you to trade at
home" will be the subject of Arizona's
sixth annual "Trade at Home-Use
Arizona Products" week, to be OBJ
served here throughout the state
March 81 to &c.
Conducted as a series of local CAM
paigns by chambers of commerce and
civic bodies, with the Arizona In
dustrial Congress cooperating to
make observance statewide, ''Trade at
Home Week" will be an educational
campaign to demonstrate that every
citizen, regardless of his occupation,
has personal interest in community
development and prosperity
community development and pros
perity depend on the growth of bus
mess in the community, for business
growth is what provides greater fin
ancial opportunity for business man,
professional man and workman alike.
During the past five years it is es-
timated the 'sUse Arizona Products
movement has kept about one hum
dred million dollars in state channels
which otherwise would have gone
outside. "Trade at Home Week"
extends the same idea to the indivi-
dual community and its retail bus
mess. For the worker, more business
here means more regular employment,
bigger net income, more salts
factory scale Of living. For the
consumer, it means better stocks and
better service in local stores; in time,
lower prices through increased
volume. For the taxpayer, it means
developing more prosperity to pay
taxes and eventually cut down the tax
rate. The basic principle is that it
helps everybody to help the COM
munity by keeping money at home.
In connection with the week, sixth
annual Buyers and Sellers Confer
ence' of purchasing agents, store
buyers, distributors, manufacturers
and farmers representatives will be
held in Phoenix, having been called
by the Industrial Congress for March
25. These conferences, by forming
contracts between producers, jobbers
and the big buyers of the state, have
been an invaluable factor in the
success of the whole Buy it in
Arizona" movement.

said, and was not to be held to strict
accountability. Some liked me be-
cause I made them laugh and forget
ugliness of their lives. A few, like
Bat Masterson, came near, think, to
knowing me as | really was.
There was man named Dave Rude
baugh, for example, who ran gam
bling house in Tombstone and who
was an ardent admirer Of mine. He
was at the Bird Cage one evening,
laughing at our songs and jokes, when
word was brought to him that man
named Kelly, a suspected cattle rus
tier and general bad egg, was in his
place down the street with several
drinks aboard, and was making trou-
Bile for his faro dealer.
Rudebaugh promptly left the show
and hurried down to his resort. En-
tering quietly, he strolled over to the
faro game, and after looking on for a
moment said to the youthful dealer in
a casual way, sI'll deal for a while,
Harry. You go over and start that
hieronynus game"
He sat down and began drawing out
the cards. Kelly was losing consist
emily; possibly he lost even more rap
idly after Rudebaugh assumed the
deal. He cursed his luck, the house
and the faro box in turn. Finally
there were only three cards left in
the box. Leaning forward and shak-
ing his finger at Rudebaugh with his
half drunken solemnity, Kelly said,
Listen, old Frozen-Face, if you make
one crooked motion on them last three
cards, I'll blow your -- head
off"
That was the final insult. Rude
baugh had his answer ready. Like the
dart of ray of light, he whipped out
his huge pistol and shot Kelly square
ly through the forehead, spattering
his brains ON the wall behind him.
Then sheathing his gun, he stepped
around the table, picked up the body
Of the bad man, and while the startled
crowd looked on in awed, tense silence,
he carried it out through the front
door and heaved it clean over the
horse trough into the street. Return
ing, he stopped just inside the door
and, looking around, remarked in an
even tone to the assemblage in gen.
eral:
sI'll keep order here, even if the
place don't make cent?"
That was his only apology for or
explanation Of the incident, and so far
as | know none other was ever de-
manded of him. AS far as Tombstone
was concerned, the demise of Kelly
meant good riddance. But think of
having the friendship of such a man!
1t seemed to have somewhat the as
pect of getting chummy with partly
tanned tiger.

Graham county farmers are going
into the fur business.
They are making definite plans to
supply the market with artic SEAL
Baltic black fox, Belgian beaver, pol
ar seal, Russian leopard and many
other types Of furs.
The movement started week or
so ago when S. L. Steinberger, pres
ident of the Stafford Chamber Of COM
merce brought down the first rabbit
and opened the drive which has been
entered by large number Of the far
mers Of the country. Several thou
sand animals have been killed and
their fur prepared for shipping to
the market.
Graham county is overrun with an
imals of the above mentioned fur
bearing qualities, and it is expected
that several thousand dollars will be
brought into the county this year
as a result of the concerted drive.
The many kinds Of fur that will be
shipped come from the lowly jack
rabbit and cottontail, the targets for
rifles and the objects Of traps
throughout the county.

LEGISLATURE WOULD SHEAR
STATE AUDITOR KIRBY'S POWER

Another department of state was
put on the griddle by the state legis-
lature last Friday.
Following in the wake of investiga-
tions and near Investigations of the
state highway department, the depart
merit of vocational education, state in
dus trial commission and the Univer-
sity of Arizona the house of repre-
sentatives turned its attention to the
office of secretary of state and voted
unanimously in committee of the
whole to repeal the motor vehicle reg
istration act of the seventh legisla-
ture.
By that ct-characterized by Wis
ener of Yuma as zone of the dirty
acts crammed down our throats at the
last session" the secretary of state
was given complete control of the
registration of motor vehicles and the
handling of money incident thereto.
The bill repeating the act, intro
duced by Representatives Orme Of
Maricopa, Harmon of Greenlee and
Mccormick of Gila makes no pro-
vision for transferring the work to
some other department.
The detailed disbursements and re-
ceipts in Secretary Kerby's report
showed that receipts from title fees,
transfers of title, operators permits,
fees charged car dealers, license fees
and moneys from other sources
amounted to $107,41942 for the nine
months period. Disbursements ag-
gregated $93, 3,40007 divided according
to Kerby's report as follows:
County assessors expenses $25, ,873.74
Operators fees remitted ..- 700.50
Operators permits refund 80 21,309.63
Overpayment fees refunded 353.42
Sec. of states expense . 45,167.78
Five thousand dollars were remitted
to the state treasurer and incum-
bered cash on hand amounted to
$9,014.35.
The motor vehicle registration act
provided for the return to the counties
of certain part of the money accru-
ing to the credit of the secretary of
states office in proportion to the
amount collected in each county.
Representative Orme gained the
floor to declare that it was time to
repeal this law. Representative Holub
of Maricopa said probably every mem
Der Of the house had received from
the National Association of Finance
companies a letter protesting against
the repeal of the law adding that

extra money and to clear their land
of pests.
Jackrabbits are numerous in Gra-
ham county, and have done consid-
cradle damage to crops. The local
biological survey office conducted a
demonstration in Stafford several
weeks ago, showing how rabbits are
properly skinned, and how the skins
are correctly stretched. Steinber-
ger shot, killed, skinned and stretch
ed the first rabbit, and the drive
began.
Although no actual count has been
taken, it is estimated that several
thousand jacks and cotton tails have
been killed. Stafford merchants are
offering prizes of various kinds for
the hunters bringing in the largest
numbers of furs.
The pelts are being carefully
stretched and prepared for market,
and as soon as enough skins are ga
thered, the first shipment will be
made.
Wyoming farmers got together a
month or so ago, started rabbit
drive, and shipped 38,540 skins to fur
dealers, receiving S6,473 for the pelts,
according to Gilchrist, who states
that the rabbit fur industry is be-
ginning to get started in all sections
of the country.
Although jacks and cotton tails
bring only 10 to Is cents for their
pelts, the chinchilia type of domes-
ticated rabbit has been so highly i'm
proved that its pelts often bring sew
eral dollars apiece, said Gilchrist
Several rabbit farms have been
started in different parts Of the coun-
try to raise the animals for meat
and fur value. One of these, in Cali
! fornia, has a capacity Of 100000
breeder rabbits, with an annual out
I put Of 100000 pounds of meat.
Government bulletins state that
meat and pelts are selling at prices
that net good profits to the pro-
ducer.
The Kansas Agricultural college
| is developing by scientific breeding
type Of rabbit that will be most
suitable for the fur industry, ac-
cording to communication received
by the biological survey office.
Gilchrist believes there is a great
future to the rabbit business, and
that farmers all over Arizona could
make money by killing the animals
and preparing the skins, which are
used in the making of fur coats and
other garments, Innings for gloves
and felt hats.

''The department must be fair and
just to all the interests entitled to con-
sideration in the administration of the
national forests" the secretary de-
clared. eve can not ignore the obliga-
tions which those areas bear as pub
lie properties, maintained and devel-
oped at public expense, and with va
ried resources which many classes and
groups of American people are en-
titled to utilize or enjoy. Specifically
we can not ignore the return which
the counties and county schools OBJ
tain from the receipts derived from
the uses of the national forests.
1T is my purpose to harmoniza
these two obligations of the depart
ment, as fairly as the limitations of
human Judgment will permit. l want
particularly to aid in establishing the
livestock industry in such fair rela-
tionship to the national forest inter
ests and public obligations as whole,
that it may have a stable and assured
place therein. | believe it would be
short sighted and i'll advised for the
industry itself to sacrifice this secur-
ity for the sake of some small and
temporary advantage"
The secretary approved the recon-
mendation of the forest service that
in view of the social and economic
purposes in the administration of ma
tional forest grazing and the interests
of the general public in national for
ests, the new schedule of grazing fees
be regarded as representing fair COM
pensation for grazing in the national
forests under conditions now existing.
No change will be made in grazing
fees, he said, for the 10-year period
beginning 1885 unless there is a ma
terial change in the conditions then
existing which enter into an equitable
determination of fair compensation
for grazing in the national forests.
He pointed out also that it was part
of the program to employ the best ef-
forts of the department to secure am
pie appropriations for range improve
ments in the national forests; and to
make careful study in the practical
bility of relating grazing fees, In sub
sequent range appraisals, to the cur
rent market of livestock products.
"And now," he concluded, 'let me
re-emphasize the hope that we may
put this controversy behind us and
that today may mark a new period of
effective cooperation between the
agencies of the department of agri-
culture and the livestock interests in
developing the full possibilities for
usefulness of the national forest
ranges.
