Soil Conservation Tour
Is Made Of Holmes
Projed
so Formers Make Trip
In Spite Of lnclement
Weother Fridoy

A tour Of the Sod Conservation
Area made last Friday was one Of
the most successful trips made over
the county since the establishment
of the C. C. Camp at Lexington. In
spite of the weather over 60 farmers
of the county met at the camp at
nine o'clock, and before loading on
buildings and the several educational
projects conducted there. The edu-
cational department of the camp de-
monstrated very forcibly to the Wis.,
itors the great work being done at
the camp in building citizenship with
the young men enrolled in the camp,
and the desire for a higher standard
of living on the farms of our coun-
try. After this inspection tour the
visitors loaded into Soil Conserva-
ton trucks and spent the day OBJ
serving the remarkable work that
has been done by the farmers and
the Soil Conservation Department Of
The c. C. Camp in the south end OF
the county.
Five trucks were used to haul the
sentative of the department explain
ed 20 the group the work hat was
noted on both sides of the road as
the trip was in progress throughout
the area. This enabled the farmers,
without making stops at all of the
x-.z ~ci. G;r.% 1.~L ;rxotian
as to who was cooperating with the
Soil Conservation Department and the
nature of the work done on their
farms.
During the day members OF the
party saw where over 100000 seed
ling trees had been planted in re-
forestry and gully control work; near
ly 300 miles of b~road-base terraces:
several miles of drainang bitches:
and 1000 of contoured pasture land
on which reseeding had been done,
bushes had been cut, and the land
fenced with a good three-wire fence
placed there by the cooperating far
mers and the c. c. boys under the
direction of Mr.. Ed Gully, Superin-
tendent Of the Camp, and his as
sistants.
A noticeable feature observed by
the farmers making the trip was the
meadow outlets on which the ter
races empty and from which the
farmers have harvested a hay crop.
Ordinarily these terrace outlets In
the past have developed into huge
gullies and have done more damage
than good.
Members Of the group commented
on the great amount Of Improvement
in cropping arrangements establish
ed on these farms which enabled the
cooperating farmers to utilize their
land to the best advantage. In many
instances it was noted that steep land
formerly in cultivation had been n
toured and put into pastures, and
where the pasture was formerly and
land was not so steep, is now being

Highway Commissioner 8. T. Roe
buck was a speaker ct the Lexington
-Hotary Club last week and told the
H~pfaSdans how the State Highway
.CoumisNlon works.
r1e ,yaid 81 the contracts to be let
under the present administration
would be iet during 1889.
Mr.. Roehuck did not definitely say
that highway II between Durant and
Lexington would be one OF the con-
tracts to be let during this year.
Several members OF the Club are
said to have talked with him on the
matter and urged his active supper
10 do anything to help get this road
paved,
Let us hope mat something good
comes OF the meeting. If there is
any road In the State of Mississippi
that needs paving more than high
way IL we have yet to hear of It.
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1939-04-13

OF course there are lots of people
who think Holmes county should not
get any more paving due to the fact
that we have 81 paved all the way
through the county and the Pickens-
Lexington road paved and the Lex
ington-Tchula highway paved.
We like to point out, however,
that If the state of Mississippi was
going to build any system of high
ways at all it would nave to come
through Holmes county due to the
fact that 1t is located in the center
OF the state. Thus the roads we
have secured have been not because
we are better politicians, but rather
because of our central location.
Highway IL, Durant-Lexington. Is
an important link i'm the highway
system of the state, connecting with
all highways running east and wese
1t is also one of the worst hign-
ways in the state due to the fact
that it's traffic lis so heavy and it's
almost impossible to keep the high
way in good shape.
We're counting on Mr.. Roebuck
to do his best to get highway Il
for us.

Americans today, we daresay, are
more conscious than ever before of
what their country offers them In the
way of making a living, maintaining
personal rights and privileges for us
than any other government in
the world, and doing more to promote
our safety, health and happiness.
The outmoded culture of the old
world on the other side, we believe
is a thing of he past. The America
of today is much more important and
interesting that the Europe of yes
terday and the civiliza ion this coun-
try is bu!ding Of much greater sig
nificance.

Roy Arnold, prominent young Jack
son attorney and a candidate for
Secretary OF State, was visiting with
friends throughout the county this
week.
Roy made his first political ace
four years ago running for the same
office and poiled around $4,000 votes.
This year, Of course. he hopes to 60
over the top against veteran Secre-
tary of State Walker Wood, who is
completing his third or fourth term,
VIZ had occasion to go to Jackson
on business both Tuesday and Wed
nesday afternoons. Tuesday after
noon we saw Roy's signs on several
trees going down the road
BY "Wednesday afternoon MIR. Woods
men had evidently been busy for on
every tree where a picture of Roy
Arnold was posted there was one of
Walker Wood above 1t.
We understand there's a third can
didate for this office. Now what
he should do is come out with a plat
form Of II plant no iikenesses OF
myself on trees to spoil the roadside
scenery, hence Ill make you a bet
ter secretary Of State"
Seriously, 1t is a shame to mar
the beauty of our trees and road
side scenery with the faces Of all
our political candidates and the w
rious forms of billboard advertising,
Wk hope the next legislature OF
Mississippi will pass a bin abolish
ing both.
It's going to be a hard thing to
have to look at all those faces over
and over again from now on until
September.

The bridge accident in which 16
persons lost their lives in this state
is horrible to think about.
That such a thing can happen In
this modern day and age is unthink-
able.
We cannot agree with Governor
Hugh Whites statement that 1t was
IAN act of God"
VIZ do not think 1t car be dismiss
ed that quickly. 1t is clearly some
fault of man. We do no know on
whose shoulders the blame should
rest. But some person or persons
should have the responsibility placed
directly upon them.
A thorough investigation should be
made starting with the firm build
ing the bridge, making sure the
bridge was BURT exactly according 20
specifications. The persons accepting
the bridge for the state as being prop
erly constructed should be gone back
On. In fact every item
with the letting OF, building n ac-
ceptance of his bridge by the state
should be investigated.
Even IL 1t should be Impossible oy
law to punish these guilty parties
the responsibility should be placed
there.
Whoever was responsible for the
faulty bridge lis responsible for the
murder OF 16 innocent people.
And they should have to take tnei'
medicine Of disgrace II not actua
punishment.
WE do not choose TO blame Coz
for that bridge washout. He get'
blamed entirely toe much for things
that happen i'm this world.
W. want the report Of q compe
tent engineer.

ADeserved Victory

4 ruling of the state Supreme Court this week that
"A Lynn Lockhart is legally member of the In
dustrial Commission of Arizona instead of Mortie A,
Graham confirms the opinion of the majority Of the
citizens of eastern Arizona and the publisher of this
newspaper.
We have never had anything against Mr.. Graham,
but have felt that he was entitled tothe Of
flee after confirmation was not given by the state
senate Of his appointment by Governor R. C. Stan
ford. We believe his position would have been
strengthened, politically, in his own county and in
Jones named Mr. Lockhart.
It is our opinion that Mr.. Lockhart's appointment
was one of the best made by Governor Jones, and his
membership on the commission will leave little to be
desired from all quarters
AS private business man and as an Influential
Democrat in Arizona politics, Mr.. Lockhart has dem
onstraed his ability executive, administrator
and intelligent equitable and fortnight Individual
We join the citizens of this country in offering
gratulations to Mr. Lockhart his deserved victory

Let's Get An Army Post!
An army post at Nogales.

A army post at Nogales.
We had one once and we may have another one
again.
Prospects bright that because of water short
age at Fort Huachuca the 25th Infantry may spend
several weeks in Nogaes until summer rains replen-
ish the water supply at Huachuca.
Even few weeks stay of the troops here would
stimulate business and there is always the probability
that once they are here they might remain perman-
emily
the worst bunder this community ever made was
when it took less of an indifferent attitude
toward the army post and the troops were moved
away several years ago.
Had every effort possible been made we are of the
opinion the army post would never have been aban-
doned
In Nogales there is a man whom we believe could
do lot toward having the troops brought here dur
ing the water shortage, if he would go to Washing
ton. That man is Writ G. Bowman, Democratic Ma
tional Committeeman, who has much influence in
Washington with the Roosevelt administration
We believe that if Mr.. Bowman could be induced
to go to Washington he might get the 25th Infantry
sent here for the duration of the water shortage and
furthermore, it is probable he might get permanent
army post for Nogales since the government is now
spending vast sum for national Defense
man who could be lot Of help should he accom-
pany Mr. Bowman to Washington is Major Macdon-
ald retired army officer, since he stands we'll with
the armys general staff.
Nothing should be left undone to bring the troops
here, even if it is only for few weeks and as we
have said before, they here they might re-
main permanently. LET'S GET AN ARMY POST!

City Needs Playground Equipment

RECENTLY this community raised $4,000 to send
approximately 100 students to the San Francisco
fair.
The trip publiczed Nogales and was particularly a
fine aunt for the boys and girls and chaperons max
ing up the party
There is another project that is just as n1por-
tant the San Francisco journey That is the
matter Of playground equipment.
At big cost the WPA has completed laying out
Fairgrounds along the east side Of the arroyo between
the civic building and Ellis street.
The Fairgrounds ready but there's no equip
ment.
The Of $400 is needed toward buying $500
worth of equipment the Rotary Club already having
on hand $1O6 for that purpose.
If $4,000 could be raised locally for one project that
benefited 100 Students surely less than one tenth of
that could be gotten together to buy equipment for
Fairgrounds that would benefit not just 100 boys and
girls but hundreds of children-n fact every child in
Nogales.
Let's raise the $500 to equip the present play
grounds and in future years let's give every dollar
netted at annual fiesta to fund for additional
Fairgrounds and parks in various parts of the city

Abbott and Fred Kemmeries.

Abbott and Fred Kemmeries.
Without the support of Mr.. and Mrs Bowman we
we sure the marching unit would never have gone to
9on Francisco.
Mrs Abbott was chairman of the committee that
raised several hundred dollars through sale Of car
tickets and Mr. Abbott and Mr.. Kemmeries the meu
who without any compensation whatsoever, put over
the very successful parade the hghght of the fourth
La Fiesta Mexicana.
The community will forever owe debt of gratitude
- Mr. and Mrs Bowman, Mr.. and Mrs Abbott, Mr.

large or small way, to put the San Francisco
project successfully.

ALetter OF Thanks

IF it has not already been done we would suggest
that letter of thanks and appreciation be sent to
each and every concern and individual who assisted
toward making the recent trip of the marching unit
to the San Francisco fair possible.
Such letter should be addressed to not only our
local citizens and business houses who cooperated but
also all out Of town citizens aud concerns-in Tucson
Phoenix, San Francisco and elsewhere-who ''kicked
in' with contributions and otherwise made the stay
e the Nogaans in San Francisco pleasant one.
Persons particularly deserving of such letter are

The Death OF Frank Luke

THE sudden death of Tax Commissioner Frank Luke
at Grand Canyon Sunday came as shock to his
host of friends throughout the state
He was one Of the real pioneers of Arizona and a
man who numbered his friends by his acquaintances
In his passing the state has lost one of it's most val-
able citizens.
The editor of The International considered Mr..
Luke one of his closest friends at Phoenix where he
first became acquainted with him when he was a
neighbor 20 years ago.
