CATTLE CONDITIONS GOOD


Phoenix, Sept. 4. - Arizona
cattle growers probably will en-.
JOY their best year since the ab.
normal war period this year.
This was the opinion express.
ed by leading cattlemen of the
state recently and predicated up.
on the three fundamentals that
make for successful cattle pro-
duction, good markets, good
feeding and good calves.
Analyzing the situation in Ari.
zona this year, cattlemen say
that marketing conditions are
without parallel in the history
of the industry save for two or
three years during the World
war. The demandi is strong,
prices are almost double those
of two years ago and the market
is absorbing, without signs of
weakening, all cattle being offer
ed by the growers of the state.
The feed situation, while not
as good as in some previous
years, has averaged better than
fair over the state as a whole.
Some localities, though few,
have been favored with excellent
ranges throughout the year;
others have enjoyed good graz.
ing conditions and the big ma.
jority fair, conditions. 10 a few
spotted localities. grazing con
ditions have, ,Men reported poor,
from time to time, though at the
present writing there seems to
be an abundance of feed and
prospects for good ranges
throughout the fall.
Notwithstanding a shortage of
grass in some sections, water
has seemingly been plentiful and
cattle have suffered little from
lack thereof.
From a calving standpoint, the
year has. been declared one of
the best the Arizona industry
ever has known. The stock.
crop this year, proportionately,.
is the largest since the war and
the young stock has weighed
we'll through the spring and
summer months.

SOMETHING WRONG SOMEWHERE

r Once more the noted Los Angeles evangelist ap-
pears in public print in what is be construed as an
hnfavOrable light.
This time is alleged that she used her influence
with members of her congregation to participate in
real estate deal that good profits to the
evangelist but little nothing those who followed
her tip to invest.
AS yet the matter is treated as civil affair
though there hints that criminal action may result
Even granting true the assertion of those who
claim that the evangelist in question has accomplished
much good, it is equally true that she has done much
harm.
1t is not the custom in America to persecute any
religious denomination preacher thereof that minds
ITS own business and limits its activities to uplifting
the lives and ideals Of men. In fact even those who
claim themselves atheists, would tolerate or defend
the sincere minister who strives carry the doc
trlne OF Christ were they prompted by nothing
than respect for his sincerity.
The evangelist under discussion has achieved con-
siderable noorety IN the past few years by her
of action. And it is not the sort of notoriety that
tends to induce the scoffer, the we'll disposed ayman
to look more kindly upon organized religion and those
who serve it.
One such this evangelist can do more harm
toward thwarting the good work of the sincere minis
ter, than any number of scoffers agnostics.

A TARDY STEP

Several hundred thousand Indians, heretofore de-
MED the ballot will be eligible to vote at the coming
presidential election thanks to law passed since 1924
removing them from the same classification insane
cOnvictS and other ineligibles.'
In our treatment Of the Indian there is little of
which honest and fair-minded Americans may be
proud. We robbed him of his land, swinded him at
every opportunity, and generally adopted and prac-
ticed the old saying that the only good Indian is
dead one
For decades we admitted to citizenship foreigners
who came to shores and barely able to con-
verse in English Indians educated as we'll as those
who not college graduates, denied the ballot
nying the ballot to women.
1t took long time to wake up. We have much
to make up to the aboriginal American, and if giving
him the same standing citizen, that his white
querors enjoy. will partially pay off debt to
him. should have been quick to take advantage of
the opportunity to bestow full citizenship privileges
him.
There may be instances in which the vote of the
Indian will be perverted. No matter to what total
they may reach they cannot compare with the total
perverson Of foregn-born citizens.
Many times in the past there must have been occa-
sons when the Indian laughed to himself at the halo of
wisdom which the white threw around himself
The Indian has of humOr, and denying him the
ballot though must have filled him with resent
ment, must have given him many opportunity for
quiet chucke at the superior intelligence of the white
man.
Correcting former attitude is to bring US Just
a step convincing the world that really meant
it when we said all men are born equal"

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
GRASSHOPPER

Once upon Il time, as nave TOLD
YOU before, the Fox and Wolf asked
the Eald Eagle to catch Uncle
Wiggilv for them, as they thought
the big bird was very clever. SO he
was. though he WASH t exactly
bald d-headed. It was only Whit
feathers on his topknot that made
him look that way.
! And while the Bald Eagle was
! flving toward the bungalow of the
rabbit gentleman. with the Fox and
Wolf following on the ground, ready
to nibble when they got the chance,
Uncle Wiggily was out in front cut
ting the grass.
Mr.. Longears had moved most OF
his lawn when, all of a sudden, he
heard voice chirp something
about cutting off legs.
"What was that you said and
who are you?' asked Uncle Wig
gily, who, not having on his tall
silk hat, could not see very wcll.
''I am a GrasshoPpcr, - was the
answer. i m down here in this
grass YOU are cutting and, as
said, YOU nearly nipped off my
legs.
q Oh. m 50 sorry for that,
exclaimed the rabbit gentleman
"I had much rather let my gras.

Being very fond of molasses, the
Grasshopper skipped along with
Uncle Wiggily and they were soon
in the hollow stump bungalow, the
bunny saying he could finish, some
other time, cutting the grass.
"There. Now Uncle WiggiIy has

'Good!' cried the Fox and
Wolf, though think it was rather
bad. But no matter about that. In
through the window scared the Balh
Eagle, most impolitcly interrupting
Uncle Wiggily, who was asking the
Grasshopper how he liked his mo-
lasses, whether on bread or butter.

WAR FILMS EXHIBITED
 BY LACK, PLEASED MANY

The announcement that Norman Lack, Alaska Railroad official, would exhibit war films free of charge at the Seward Grill last evening, was the signal for crowd to gather in the banquet room of the commodious restaurant and for an hour enjoy his thoughtfulness and kindness. People were packed 10 deep with the kiddoes holding down the floor beginning five feet from the small screen.
 MT. Lack, however, had another surprise in store at the conclusion of the two wonderful, genuine A. E. F. pictures taken by official staff photo graphers, for he brought out third reel which revealed the boat trip from Seward, down the coast to Ketchikan. Pictures taken at random, here and there, but which included some views of his home in Pennsyvania, were ex- ibited. The home looked more like a palace to the spectators. But aside from those there were pictures of wild animals, presumably taken at some zoo, which were beauties; then there were others of Alaskan animals, splen- did ones Pictures taken around Gird- wood. and then a few around Seward. These comprised, in the main, of the animal form of Jack Prosser; his fine kennels and, of course, the goats. Jack was their, himself.
 Quite strip of film was devoted to A. B. Cummins, manager of the Alas ka Railroad hotel at Curry and his zoo. The cub bear was cute and the white reindeer was in happy mood. A photographic shot at the big live eagle, at Curry, ended the entertain ment much too soon for the majority. e e e @
