JVM: 1919 The green oasis, the little grassy 'jneadow in the wilderness, where after the wcek-dav's iournev, the -pilgrim halts for refreshment and opobe. Dr. Roade. Maricopa's Glorious Dead j During the great war, sixty-eight sons of Muri- iopa county gave their lives that America might I've, t'joc from the domination of a ruthless autocracy. J Next Saturday that those high sacrifices may bo i binmemorated, a great air tournament will he held T. Hi the state fair grounds to lay the foundation of a iimd for the creation of a permanent memorial, that die recollection of those devoted men may he kept fresh, and that their heroic deeds may inspire future fenerations. It would not seem necessary to appeal to the' pa triotic men and women of Maricopa to pay tribute those who have so bravely died, by attending this -rivat tournament. We believe that the spirit of Frank Luke and the ojher devoted men who have made the great sacrifice still lives in the hearts of the people from among tfiiom they went to the war. The best way to give expression to that spirit to prove that it still exists, is by attendance at the tournament, an outpouring, a. universal tribute to the brave men who have given ' Our County Highway System I"; The Maricopa county highway commission which lias charge of the work of constructii'.ij 272 miles ol )ermanent highways in this county, ha:i entered upon itl task vigorously and is holding daily sessions at which the problems in this great undertaking arc being considered. Some of these problems are lega', some are psychological, though for the most part, i (fey are physical and to all of them must be brought a soundness of judgment and a firmness of decision. -Vfter all, what is going to count most in our high vw.y development, is straightforward, business ad ministration. 5'. The members of the commission are all men of t. i,ood business standing, and they have every oppor tunity to make a record which will be a credit to tjvm and Maricopa county. We wish them well, and al" every step of the work want to be in a position tb give them thoroughgoing support in putting into ?Rect a business-like, non-political plan of road con struction. rj The need of good roads in this county and -the jrifidence of our people in the ability of the present commission to give them the right kind of a system i good roads, has been very clearly demonstrated in the overwhelming support of the bonds at the recent ejection. f To say that we should have the best roads and tj most of them for the money, is trite. That is Jfodisputed, but how to put such a policy into action blithe problem that confronts the commission, and in successfully solving this problem they ar bound to rim across and have to overcome much of human Styed and human selfishness, but there are certain principles of definite action which are bound to spell uccess it put into effect. Firtt. The definite need of developing the highway plans along such lines as will bring the most active competition in road construction among contractors ot various classes of perma nent highways, and material men generally Second. The preparation of complete practical specifications designed to give the maximum life to the roads under the conditions existing in this fclimate, and with the soil conditions prevailing, tin this work, we believe the commission should jseek, and can undoubtedly obtain, the advice and jj co-operation of the United States federal bureau ! of good roads, who might also be induced to detail a man to this county to work in co-operation twith the commission. f Third. The appointment of inspectors for tho , work under progress of such high character and 'trained ability that no slipshod or inferior work ''will be accepted. This necessarily means that in spectors must be selected solely on the basis of the;r qualifications and character, and without jthe slightest regard to their political influence or affiliations. , i An exceedingly important thing to be considered in working out a plan which will mean the lowest possible cost per mile oX road building is that arrange ments should be made so that the commission may t8 in a position to get in on the ground floor on cjment, gravel, and sand, the most important ele ments in road construction. Many counties in under taking a great constructive plan, such as the good roads in Maricopa county, have found it best to con trol these sources of supply. We understand that the commission is giving this question most careful attention, and if it is worked out successfully, it cfjould mean a great saving in the final cost of the load system. j We believe the commission realizes the tremendous importance of the task ahead of them and will not aljow themselves to be led into the quusmires which l.sjvc so off n interfered with the succrss of rond con dtuctlon progiams in other sections. Labor and the League The objections raised by Andrew Furuseth the labor leader, second only to Mr. Gompcrs, to the League of Nations will no doubt be made use of by other opponents of the league especially the un qualified statement, "11 ttie League covenant is adopted it will become a part of the supreme law of the United States and thus will be the last expression of legislation and therefore, will be the real legisla tion of the country. Tet some people say it has noth ing to do with our internal affairs. If the American people and American labor agree to this it becomes the law of the United States and it cannot be amended except by unanimous consent of all or on the battle field." Mr. Fursueth is partly right and partly wrong. His statement that the League provides for a super legislature is probably true as to those matters agreed upon in the covenant with respect to labor and which are somewhat at Variance with the agreement reached in the labor conference at which Mr. Gompers pre sided ,and whose work he so greatly influenced. If the covenant should be ratified by the senate with fhe consent ef labor which has now been given, labor would b'e estopped from asking for legislation which would contravene the covenant. Therefore, the co venant so far as it affects labor in flu's or any other country would he the last legislative expression. 7'hai, though, t'.s not true generally .is to the ef Lect of the covenant upon alt legislation. No douVtt we will find in case of its ratification that here and there it will impinge upon the constitution. Wherever it may happen to do so the covenant will get the worst of it. The covenant and the constitution must , harmonize by the amendment, if necessary, of one or the other, or the United States will he forced by the American people to drop out of the Leagi!e. One argument which from the beginning Ameri cans have brought against the League was that it offered the United States nothing but an opportunity for sacrifice. But the covenant has been so amended that our sacrifices will necessari'p be trivial and will be much more than offset by the eoniribut;n to world peace which our participation will make. The case of labor though, is quite different. It had everything to lose and nothing to gain. As was first proposed American labor, if it could not raise labor in other countries to its own high level must descend toward a lower level. In the labor confer ence, the American delegates considered only the raising of the level abroad and not the descending of the American level. In the modified labor clauses, however, many of the conditions agreed upon in the conference by which the American stand ard had been adopted have been omitted. Not only was the principle of the Seamen's Act, of which Mr. Furuseth was the father, rejected, and only a weak denial is made of -the doctrine that labor is stilla commodity. Women and the Church We see by a late dispatch that the Irish Protest ant Episcopal Church at a recent meeting in Dublin voted against the admission of women to representa tion in the church; that is, to woman suffrage in church government. The Irish church some years ago was severed from the Church of England, and since then has been a democratic body, but the men alone have directed its affairs. The chief argument for the admission of women to a voice in the church was the same its that we have heard more recently in this country in support of the argument in favor of woman suffrage the heroism, the patriotism and the effective service of women in the war . ' The churches generally here, as well as , abroad, have withheld from women the privilege of full par ticipation in their activities and the exercise of-that privilege has never been strongly insisted upon whether because the women have not jet come to care for a voice or whether they regard the church as impregnable against attack and so are content with the opportunities afforded them for service in Dorcas societies, Ladies' Aids and other auxiliary bodies. But the action of the Irish Church stands out by reason of tho question raised as to how many of tho members of the synod who voted against woman suffrage in the church are among those who are demanding the independence of Ireland, a separation from Great Britain as thorough as the separation of the Irish Church from the Established Church. The ."Producer" We have at hand the initial number of the "Producer," the official organ of the American Na tional Live Stock Association, published at Denver. The managing editor is T. W. Tomlinson, for many years the efficient secretary of the association, who has been much more than a secretary a director of the various activities of the association in all matters which concern the live stock industry. The "Producer" is a handsome journal mechani cally, and is filled vith articles which are of the fore most interest to stockmen, the ten principal ones dealing with one problem or another of the stock men, such as the forest service, marketing, a Cana dian reciprocity treaty, the Kendrick bill, etc. There is a general article on government matters. A general review, a series ot interesting and in structive editorials. Other features appeal to tha other members of the stockman's family. The wom.-.n's corner, the kids' corral, the poet's pen, and the spice box. Altogether it is a well balanced monthly which cannot fail to come quickly into popular favor n-.t only with stockmen but with all who recognize that the stock industry is one which touches all ot us. The "Producer" displaces none of the many al ready established and excellent liv estock journals, each of which will continue to serve its purposes and yield usefulness to the industry. The aim of the "Producer" is set out thus: "To serve as a clearing hor.se for the col lection and dissemination "of. the soundest opinion, most authoritative information relative to live stock conditions everywhere."

I did not ven ture into the street next day and so the hours dragged heavily, each one weighted with some fresh anxiety about. Bub's condition. At last the hotel phone summoned me to the par lar. Something in Tommy's manner as I greeted him made my heart stand still. Tommy is always slow of speech, but it seemed to me as I awaited his re port that he had been stricken dumb. Finally I had to demand abruptly: "What did Daddy Lorimer say?" "Bob ain't dangerously sick, ma'am, exactly. You needn't be alarmed about his living." Tommy came to a full stop and 1 felt sure he was trying to break some hard news very gentlv. 1 must have the whole story.

How ever, only about 2,500 can be seen even on the clearest, frostiest night, by the naked eye. Q. How many men by the name of Smith were in the army? Y. T. C. A. There were more Smiths in the army than men of any other name. These totaled over 51,000. Second in the list stood the Johnsons, numbering 29.000.

(To Be Continued) I QUESTIONS i AND ANSWERS j It is probably true that more ques tions from the readers of newspapers to their editors have been answered by Frederick J. Haskin, Director of the Arizona Republican Information Bureau, in Washington, than by any other man dead or alive. It is his business to answer questions. He is an investigator, writer, traveler, of long experience, is the author of a num ber of hooks on the government, lie is strategically located at the nation's capital, and knows the keys that will open the various storehouses of knowledge that have been built up by the government. Here are some of the questions that have been answered recently by this bureau that is now at the service of the readers of the Arizona Republican. What do you think of them? Q. Can the United States talk to Europe by wireless telephone'.'K. A. Yes; not long ago Arlington sta tion, near Washington talked to Eiffel lower, in Paris, and another station in Honolulu overheard the canversa-tion. Q. What new nations have been created as a nesult of the war. A. M. B. A. Czechoslavakia. Jusoslavia. Po land, Finland, and Hedjaz, have so far taken form:' . The three former are republics, the two latter, monarchies. Q. Is a corpulent person necessarily a neavy eater ' s. A. D. A. ies. The experts tell us that the person who carries too much flesh cais too mucn toou. Mesh can no more be built without the materials that constitute it, than a house can be built without bricks or lumber. There lore, by a proper restriction of the amount of food taken into the system, any person can reduce his weight to the proper figure. Q. What became of the large flocks of wild pigeons that formerly lived in tnis country? F. E. Rome but the English did not reeog- i nize him. Q. Why is the Chicago river called the smallest but richest river in th world? H. M. G. A. The Chicago River which is less than a mile in length, is the harbor of Chicago. So the wealth of the water traffic of Chicago may be said to be the wealth of the Chicago River, making this stream the smallest and richest of rivers. Q. What is the definition of eligibil ity to membership in the American Legion? S. A. P. A. Any individual who served hon orably in the army or navy of the United States between the date of our entrance into the war and the signing of the armistice, or who served in the armies of our allies at any time during the war, is eligible to membership in the American Legion. This includes yoemen (f) and army and navy nurses. Q. Are men who have served in the war given any preference when they want to enter Civil Service? C. E. G. A. Yes. A service man may pass a Civil Service examination with a mark of sixty-five, while others must get seventy. He may secure temporary appointment of three months prior to taking examinations. He is given preference in appointment over non service applicants of the same rating. Physical requirements tor specnic po sitions for which he has taken voca tional training are waived. Q. When did the first steamship cross the Atlantic?. C. O. B. A. One hundred years ago on the 22nd day of May of this year, the first steamship, the Savannah, sailed from the port for which it was named, reaching Liverpool twenty-nine days and eleven hours later. Q. What is the longest of our geo graphical Indian? names? H. G. N. A. The longest of these names is probably that of Lake Chargogagog m a u n chaugagogchebunnygungamaug. This lake is in Massachusetts and its ffitme has recently been changed to Lake Webster. The word is of Algon quin origin and is said to mean "How o the Civil War? R. W. H. A.- American casualties at Argonne Meupe were 1S.3 per cent of those en gaged. At Gettysburg the casualties were 20 per cent, at Afurphysboro, 23 per cent, at Shiloh, 24 per cent, and at CbAckamauga, 1 per cent. Q. How widespread is the use of the Metric system ? F. It. G. A. The Metric system is used in every civilized country in the world, with the exception of England and the the United States. Ail Latin American countries, for instance, use it. It has been officially adopted China. The American Expeditionary Force found it necessary to use it in France. The war has given impetus to a campaign for its adoption by the United States which is now being vigorously pushed. i. What was the greatest number of men in the United States army dur ing the Civil War? M. C. M. A. The highest figure reached was 1160,962 officers and men. Q.

The modern proposal came first from an Englishman, Wil liam Willett, in 1907, wbo published a pamphlet called "Waste of Daylight." tj. is it a mark of disrespect to bury the United States Hag in the coffin of a civilian? M. P. M. A. There is no ruling of the War Department against burying the flag with either a soldier or a civilian. It is not the custom to bury it with sol diers. An American civilian dying abroad might quite properly have a tlag buried with him. The good taste of burying the flag with a civilian who had rendered no specia lserviee, under it might be questioned. Q. Who was the inventor of the gai engine motor which drives automobiles and airplanes? E. B. A. Charle3 Shelden, in 1S72, invented tho internal combustion engine, which drove the first gas automobile. Q. Who was the first woman in the United States advocating woman suff rage? E. V. P. A The first woman to make this demand, so fa'- as lenewn. was Mistress Margaret Br.'.V.. cf Maryland, in 1647.

Her petition wa hotly debated and finally denied. Q. What is tne origin ot the name of the city of Paris? L. L. D. A. In 53 B. C. when Caesar con quered Gaul. Paris was called Gallic. Lutetia (Mud-townl. Al that time it was inhabited by a Celtic tribe, the Parisii. They burned their town rather than surrender to Caeaar, so that general ordered that a new town be built at the same time and be called after the tribe, Parisii. This was the original form of the present name Paris. Q. If a man forges my name to a check and if there are extenuating cir cumstances, have I a right to decline to prosecute him? W. B. A. No. His offense is not against you. but against the state. The proper agency to weight the facts, to consider the extenuating circumstances, is a court. When you fail to present the facts of a violation of the law to the authorities, you are failing in your duty as a citizen. You are becoming a telf-constittited court, a thing which you have no right to do. Q. What is the governing hody ot the Christian Science Church? How is its personnel determined? C. J. G. A. The Christian Science Board of Directors is the governing body of the Christian Science Church.

When this country was first settled flocks of these pigeons were so numerous that they would darken the skies in flying overhead. They would light so densely in forests as to break great limbs from trees. The birds were beau tiful and very excellent eating.
