Mop Up on Elm Blight.
| FORCE of nearly 1000 men, takel

! A FORCE Of nearly 1000 men, taken
largely from relief rolls, has
started second scouting of the Dutch
elm disease area which center around
New York The entire section visited
in the first inspection is to be gone
over again to see if the disease has de-
veloped in trees passed over the first
time. All suspected trees are to be
destroyed, for that is the only method
Of control known at this time.
/ Since the Federal campaig.4 to stop
the spread of Dutch elm disease began
two years ago. 10,545 cases OF the dis
ease have been confirmed by labora-
tory tests. All but 720 of these trees
already have been destroyed. In ad-
dition. 483,201 dead or dying elms
have been removed as possible sources
of new infection and 231,312 more
have been marked ior destruction.
/ The Connecticut-New York-New
Jersey area has been secuted once
! this season. The scouts are now going
over it again, with special attention to
the critical safety zone-a strip of
land 10 miles wide outside the outer
line of known infection This zone is
extended slightly from time to time as
scouts discover diseased trees within
| the zone.
In the only other States where
Dutch elm disease is known to have
occurred-Virginia, Maryland, Indi-
ana and Ohio-some further evidence
Of the infection has been noted in the
last month, says Lee A. Strong, chief
OF the Bureau of Entomology and
! Plant Quarantine. He has received
reports from the field forces that two
more diseased trees were found near
the one discovered some time ago in
Norfolk, Va; seven near the four
found in Indianapolis, Ind, in 1884
and another in Ohio.
The source of the infection-which
has been present in the United States
since 1930-has been traced definitely
to infected logs shipped from Europe
through the ports of New York, Nor
folk, Baltimore and New Orleans and
sent by rail to veneer plants in a num-
ber of States. Federal plant quaran-
tines have been imposed to prevent
entry of any more foreign logs or lum-
Der harboring the dangerous spores.
However, says Mr.. Strong, the success
of the campaign to keep the American
elm from going the way of the Ameri-
can chestnut still hangs in the bal
ance.
Entomologists and pathologists
working on the problem cannot vet
answer several very vital questions
concerning the disease. For example,
as yet 1t is not known in how many
ways or by how many agents the dis
ease organism may be spread. Ento-
mologists have proved that the small
European elm bark beetle, present in
large numbers in New York, New Jer-
sey and Connecticut, can transm.ss the
infection from one tree to another, but
this species Of beetle, however, is not
known to occur in Virginia, Maryland,
Indiana or Ohio.

New Educational Plans

, when, as a matter of fact, it may be
nothing more nor less than the thin
veneer of modern-day thought, the
wise cracking of the literati and the
sophisticates and all learned poll
parrot fashion.
And now for the youngsters them
selves. What is the young student as
he stands alone on the American
campus this Fall going to do for him
self? That is the question the pro-
fessors advise each one of them to
frame. What will be at the end OF
the four years ahead?
The thing for the boys and girls
entering college today to remember is
this: That many of their daddies
started real worthwhile careers at
the ages of 16. 18 and 81.
That is where comparisons of for
mer generations with the present aca-
demic crop offers a startling diff
ference
The boys and girls of today are get
ting late start toward their careers
For that reason, the professors hope
to work out plan in the near future
where college courses may be cut
down anywhere from year to two in
conformity with changed conditions
Diligent students can easily, the pro.
fessors say, condense four years work
to two if they go at it hammer and
tongs, and side-step the social activ-
ties. This they can do by thinking
ahead to the job that awaits them II
they prepare properly for it.
Nature demands that even the col.
lege graduate fight and struggle fol
existence.
With this advice. the professors
tell the new generation to go to it
and do the best they can.

ofispring from the realities of life.
AS one professor puts it, The suffer-
ing of the 1885 child, devoid of 1910
opportunities, could never be so great
as the mental torture of the father
who does not want his son to suffer
as he did. 1t sounds paradoxical but
it's true. If the child is spared a
certain amount of hardship in young
life it may all be made up for later on
when the individual, in later years, is
least able to endure punishment. The
time to take the rap is while the
arteries are not quite hardened"
THAT too much coddling of the
= young is dangerous, the old pro-
fessor proves by an illustration. He
had an easy-going pupil. The boy
got regular checks from home. After
giving the lad a lecture on his laziness,
the professor told him: "You are a
grade chaser. Why do you not study
for the rewards yielded only by honest
inquiry?"
"You don't understand" the boy
replied. I'm getting along all right
MY parents send me checks right
along. The university sends grades
and honor points. The only important
thing is that last semester I received
80 honor points. The semester before
that got only 48. You see, I am two
points to the good"
Where the parent makes his usual
mistake, the professor points out. is
in boasting of high grades and points
scored by his son or daughter-or by
pointing out, in the presence OF the
youth, the smart conversation these
youngsters are able to carry Of

Huey Sowed The Winds Of Selfish Malice
And Reaped The Harvest Of An Early Death

Men who seize dictatorial power by ruthlessly
svrecking the lives Of any who oppose them have no
claim on the public sympathy when of their vic
tins resorts to ruthless methods of reprisal Doctor
Weiss knew he would be killed when he tried to Kill
Huey Long in the midst Of his bodyguard in the cor
Tidors of the Louisiana state capitol building but he
accepted the martyrs lot in order to free his state
from reign of selfish tyranny such as has never be-
fore been known in America.
The urge to claim dictatorial authority was the
on1inent motive of Huey Longs life first manifest
ing itself when at 16 years of age he formed small
school group to dictate the membership Of the ball
team and other desirable positions in the student
group. His great vitality and powerful physique back
ed by unscrupulOus mental cunning enabled him to
enforce his youthful demands for leadership which
rapidly Widened into state and national fields. Like
Napoleon "He Worshiped no god but ambition and
acknowledged no criterion but success. He had no
regard for the public welfare but an uncanny gift
for interpreting the immediate desires of his voting
constituents; he loudly advocated those unvoiced de-
sires and so maintained his popularity and power.
By maneuvering deal whereby he was paid
large commission certain types OF taxes collected
the state and other similar rakeoffs for his legal
firm he acquired millions of his fellow citizens
wealth and coolies of public admiration while posing
as the champion Of the poor.
His life while it lasted was complete success ac-
cordng to his own standards but the harvest of his
actions brought it to an abrupt end while in mid
He traded 80 years of his life expectancy for the
privilege of enjoying the powers of dictatorship for
less than 20 years 1t will be hard to find another man
who will care to take the same gamble.

ernment legislative executive, judicial and investi-
gatiOnal.

'Why not, along with your fight on Bettwy,

FACTS BASED ON TRUTH

From time to time articles will
appear in this column under the
heading "Facts Based On Truth.
I am not prejudiced nor do I mean
to cause any ill feeling by what I
write. I am only telling you the
facts.
Since when has it become the
custom to use the city trucks to
convey people and provisions on
picnics. Whose gasoline is it. Who
is paying for the gasoline? In event
of accident who would be liable?
Does the city carry insurance when
city vehicles are used for other than
city business?
DR.. Chenoweth works for the
county. Bettwy puts in most of his
time trying to be Mayor Both go to
Tucson to purchase cars. Do Tue
son auto dealers pay taxes in San
ia Cruz County?
I wonder why some Nogales tax
paying auto dealer could not make
a satisfactory trade with the mayor
and the County Physician.
In speaking of the firemen giving
dance it must be understood that
the four firemen paid by the city
plus a very few others is very
small part of the Fire Department
There would not be any fire de-
partment if it were not for the men
who volunteer their services with
out compensation. The paid men
could do very little without the
help of these volunteers. When
they go to a fire their clothes are
soiled and many times ruined. They
stand the chance of getting severe

Mayor Loses In Tilt With Aldermen

tilt with the board Of aldermen when the matter of
selling city-owned property Officers Hill at old
Camp Little came before the board Tuesday night.

property to all high bidders Bids had been received
sometime ago. after which appraisal report show

ported to be heavier than the var
sity, while the class B division close
ly approaches the heftiness of the
usual "frosh" team. This means that
the Apaches will face opponents of
nearly their own caliber as far as
tipping the scales goes.
This contest will be one of the
high lights of the local football sea-
son, as this aggregation will pro-
badly be one of the strongest elev-
ems that the Apaches face. The N.
H. S. boys will have five weeks Of
practice to their credit when they
face this first opponent and should
be in tip top condition to put up a
great battle. In addition to provid-
ing fans with high grade contest
the game will serve to give the
Apaches the advantage of first class
experience before they enter the

OPENING GRID
GAME OF SEASON
(By G.. E. ELLIOTT

The Nogales High School Apaches
will meet the Arizona Freshman,
class B team, in their opening grid
game Of the season on September
% on the local field.
This contest, which was placed
on the Apache schedule late this
week, will help materially in round
ing out the N. H. S. schedule, and
will give the local high school boys
an extremely good opponent to
start the season off with.
The class B division of the U. of
A. Freshman represents the light
weight group of Coach McKales
squad of first year men. Two div
lslons of the U. of A. Frosh team

large turnout and wide variation in
weight. The class A division is re-

colds as they go on minutes call,
and they are not dressed for the
soaking they usually get.
We would suggest that before
Bettwy urges anybody to read the
u. S. Constitution, he read it him
self but not stop there. Study it.
Also while the mayor is doing this
he might study the city charter and
see if he can understand it.
Mr.. Pottinger, there has been a
lot of talk lately about you start
ing a daily paper. We will be with
you in full force And we won't have
to give a barbecue, or beer garden
dance, or promote some lodge to
give a street dance so you can get
some advertising. We have some
thing very unique in mind. We may
have to borrow the Mayors orches-
ira to get things going good.
We observed all mercantile stores
on this side closed on the 18th. But
some mercantile stores open on the
other side the same day.
We observed certain woman Of
this fair and thriving city trying
to boycott a certain business in this
town. After hearing what she said,
I wondered if she ever heard of the
Federal Boycott Law?
We observed the city oil truck de-
1ivering oil to business firms. So
the city is in competition with de-
livery companies in this town.
