"In a little shell-torn village where my battery was quartered," writes Corporal Osborne De Varila, "lived a young French mother with her two-year-old son. Just before this son was born she was taken prisoner by somo German cavalrymen and sent to a hos pital in Germany. When her child was born it was taken from her and returned two weeks later, with its sight destroyed. " 'If your child had been a girl,' ex plained the brutish German surgeon, 'we would not have done this. But we of the fatherland must make sure that the French will never again take up arms against Germany.' "With her face full of woe and trag edy the mother told me this story, and ,1 swore vengeance against the Hun as the tale slipt from her trembling lips. Nestled in her lap was the living evi dence of the crime the poor little two-year-old who is doomed to go through life sightless because of Ger man kultur." The Germans need no longer be afraid that the French or the Eng lishor the Americans or any other of the Allies who now number twenty-four, with additions expected every hour will ever against1 after this war, fight against GermanyjJfiJlK They won't have to. 5 There will not be enough left of Ger many in a military way to go out gun ning for a squirrel. The nation which can commit such crimes must be de stroyed. MORE MENTAL FERTILITY. Secretary Baker has hit upon a plan for informing relatives and friends of soldiers concerning-wounded and sick Yanks admitted to overseas hospitals'. Baker proposes-tohave the hospital records brought here each week by courier, the records to give the exact nature of the wounds or disease. This is a marvelous idea. By this means parents ,and relatives will be advised of the condition 'of' those in whom they may be interested a month or so after the courier has made the rounds. The secretary believes that the task of installing this system will be con siderable, and hopes are entertained that the task will be accomplished ' some time before the end of the war. h Probably the War Department has de vised this method because of thcran inefficiency of the Burleson mail serv ice, which is apt to deliver news of a boy's iHncss or wounds about the time the patient has .died of senile, debility and the war is being written up T)y the historian. It has been suggested that Secretary Baker appoint Gordon Auchincloss, the exbmpted son-in-law of Colonel E. M. House, and Edscl Ford, the exempted son of the bellig erent jitney kingl'to act as couriers. 'It is war work df 'decidedly safe na ture even ithough thoy be heralds of sorrowful tidings. JThey should wear ebon plumes on their overseas caps, and each carry fa black-bordered pocket handkercher." The laborer has the same right that the capitalist has to become a money grabber and "exploit the war" for what he can get out of it but there J should be a day of, reckoning coming to either element. The great inter mediate class of people are earnestly doing the things they can: in every way to help win the wjirj sacrificing more than the other two elements' evef thought of: they are the great'class who believe that there is.hopc for the wickd and hope for hose 'who will help' play the great game of living in an honest, manly way. There is a great big wallop coming to those who can not see that the great "masses" do not belong to either of the great ex tremes. LEARN YOUR TOOLS. On August 11, 1918, when we haft been at war 10 months, the War De partment announced that all officers of the Ordnance Department below the rank of Colonel would be required to take a course in target practice with the .45 caliber automatic pistol. The purpose is to equip the men to de fend themselves while on overseas duty. Thus we are gradually speed ing up the war. LILY-WHITES. Since Secretary of the Treasury Mc Adoo has given his endorsement of the pft-repeated policy of wearing patches to conserve cloth, Secretary of the Navy Daniels should get aboard the economy band-wagon by repealing his order requiring navy officers on shore duty to wear spotless white uni forms in summer. He could save time, laoor and money by so .doing. WHERE ARE WE? Dispatches from Washington recent ly declared that German influences were behind the break between Mexico and Cuba. It would seem that 'American diplomacy should be such that the United States could have some influence over a sister republic as close as Mexico and have many commercial and financial relations. "Stamp Dance Tomorrow Night" headline in Jimmy Logie's Douglas Dispatch. Suppose it is "one-two-three and kick the kaiser." If they have to raise the price' of gold to reduce the price of flour what's the use of paying an exchange for the privilege of exchanging? CANDIDATES AT RED LAKE. There was no dearth of candidates of all kinds, both county and state, at Red Lake last Saturday, and there were some good patriotic, as well as political, speeches made by them. As per schedule, Fred Sutter, candidate for nomination for governor on the Democratic ticket, threw several hot shot into the Hunt-Coalter camp which seemed to please the crowd. The Flagstaff people who attended the big barbecue were mighty well pleased with the day. The war measureiputting the age limit from 18 to 45 has passed and is now a law. This,,will make, aheap of changes in future plans, butalj.jlans should tend to end the war "at the earliest possible moment with a com plete crushing of the Huns. The more men, money and guns wo put up and put up quickly, the more men we will save. It may seem that we have the Hun on the run now, but there is no use of taking anything for granted. "THE PUBLIC BE D Dl" That list of officials and employes entitled to railroad passes under the system of government control is un doubtedly all right if followed strict ly. But there would be some advant ages in requiring government railroad officials to line up at the ticket win dow and await their turn. They would acquire some sympathy for the irri tated public. Uncle Sam is having his troubles in preventing substitutes being made il legally in dry territory. Apache In dians have found a means of ferment ing wild grapes, which, combined with their old tulapai decoction, is a wooze winner strong enough to delight a government mule. It is reported that the Bolsheviki have declared war on the United States'." Thought they had been at war right along. Murder in Arizona has only in creased 136 per' cent since'capital pun ishment was abolished? At least the wobbly element have done that much for the state. Germany wanted "at place in the sun." Thejtall boys of the west got into the setting rays and the "sun" they got wasn't the "son" they were looking for. American farmer boys are used to shocking and it won't be long before they have air the kaiser's "shock troops" propeny snocKea ana nar vested. From all indications it would ap pear that the Wlnslow Mail does not fully approve of Colter or his friend Greer. Lamar Cobb has withdrawn from the race for governor. Now let's set' tie down and elect Tom Campbell. If your wife docs not like sugar, well she needn't purchase some SHORT COURSE IN DDMESTIC SCIENCE AT FORMAL SCHOOL The department of the domestic science of the Normal School, in co operation with the Food Administra tion and the Bureau of Education, will give a short course in foods -and cook ery.

Those who cannot arrange to be there at that time, but who wish to take the course, send names to Miss Ryan not later than Monday, September 2nd. RED CROSS ASSISTS THE NEEDY AT HOME A soldier over seas whose family re ceived sorely needed assistance through the Home Service section, American Red Cross, has written the San "Francisco chapter the following appreciation: "I never fully realized the worK you are doing until i re ceived the letter from my wife telling me of the manner you had gone to her assistance. Without you she would have been helpless, for there was no one near to whom she could turn. When I received the news I spread it throughout the camp and many a boy here feels a thousand times better to know that there is someone back home fighting the battles for him and for his loved ones.'.', . , "The story will "travel Jall over France," he 'adds,- explaining that he is up for a commission and will be in a better position to tell other men we have the greatest organization in the world with a heart as big as the Unied States." Farm Agent DeLore Nichols visited Government Prairie yesterday to make hill selection of potatoes In that sec tion. Mr. Nichols intends to visit the different ranches of the county on hill selection, the purpose being to see that the ones selected are highly cul tivated and properly taken care of and the seed from which will be used in planting next year's crop. By this means a better grade and more satis factory potato yieW is expected. SENATOR SUTTER FLAYS HUNT REGIME Senator Fred Sutter, candidate for the nomination for governor on the Democratic ticket, addressed a full house at the Orpheum Wednesday night. He gave his full history and denounced the 1." W. W. in no uncer tain terms,, avowing that if elected all classes would' look alike to him, cor porationsT.or th unions, but1 he .barred the SocialistlrMd wobblies. He be lieved ih a "bus'lness administration, not a political '6ne; he showed up the present administration as the most extravagant and wasteful that ever happened; a squandering of public money for private benefit and sighted the prison policy, stating that for four months there was no flag foating there owing to the guards belonging mainly to the I. W. W. element. His arraignment of the administration was sufficient to make all sit up" and take notice, and it was evident that he had made a good many votes among the Democratic brethren. SPLENDID SOUVENIR OF COCONINO COUNTY The handsome booklet entitled "Souvenir of Flagstaff and Coconino County, Arizona," compiled and copy righted by Brooks, Tyler and Wilcox of Flagstaff, and dedicated to the residents of the great mountain sec tion of Coconino county of our state, is something well worth having. While it covers the scenic, educational and industrial field, it is not over done in the bombastic style of the usual "write-up," but in a legitimate de scriptive manner, and contains relia ble information and facts concerning our country. It is beautifully illus trated with glimpses of this most picturesque country and also shows many of the principal buildings. It contains no advertising and is put forth with a view of informing distant friends of the country in which we live and is being sold with that idea in view. You may write the "folks back east" as you will, but this elegant booklet will give them a better idea of your surroundings than can the pen alone. The people of Flagstaff should appre ciate this work of art and see that their friends get one. o F. W. PERKINS FOR JUDGE OF THE SUPERIOR COURT Judge F. W. Perkins has announced his candidacy for the nomination on the Republican ticket for judge of the Superior court. judge Perkins is the present incum bent ot that important office, and his supporters point to his splendid rec ord for the past six and one-half years as the best evidence of his qualifications. He was deputy clerk of the United States district court at Kansas City for some years and later served as clerk of the court and as United States Circuit court commissioner for five years. , , He read law with one of the lead ing law f kms of Kansas City for four years. He is a graduate of the St. Louis law school of the Washington University. He was admitted to prac tice and practiced law successfully in Kansas City for many years. i Judge Perkins moved to Flagstaff in liuj and lor two years was in the banking business, after which he prac ticed law until he was elected judge of the Superior court in the fall of 1911. Until elected judgehe was ret. eree in bankruptcy for this district, His practical experience in the busi ness world, as .well as the practice of his profession, has peculiarly fitted him for the solution of the varied and perplexing problems that a judge of tne superior court ot. this state js called upon to solve. Judge Perkins has always taken a lively interest in every movement for the welfare of the community "in which he lives and for the state at large. He served four years as , a member of the board of education of the Northern Arizona Normal School, during which time the Normal School grew from a small beginning to a large and thriving institution. For five years he served as one, of the trustees of the Flagstaff public schools, and his untiring work- in the interests of the schools produced splendid and lasting results. Judge Perkins has the confidence and esteem of the bar of the entire state. He has rarely ben disqualified to try cases in this county, and has been called into many counties in the state to try cases for other judges and has been called upon to sit as a judge of the Supreme court in cases where one of the judges of that court has been disqualified. During his six and one-hall years on the bench be has the creditable record of having had only four cases appealed from this county, all of which were affirmed, and of having but two cases reversed during his entire term of office. Judge Perkins' practical experience as an accountant and business man especially fit him for the .duties of the probate department of his court. His interest in the schools and his experience in the handling of boys and girls and his kind and sympathetic nature have peculiarly qualified him to solve the problems of the juvenile department of his court, while his business experience, his years of prac tice in the courts and his careful study of the law involved in each case, have won for him a most enviable reputation as a jurist. He has shown no sympathy for the bootlegger and has done everything possible to enforce the prohibition laws of the state. Our Legislature has made the office of judge of the Superior court a non partisan one, and the supporters of Judge Perkins feel that the voters of Coconino county, regardless of poli tics, could do no better than "let well enough alone" and retain him as judge of the Superior court for an other term. , The Linden Tree must be a lot like the Texas pecan, judging .by the num ber of nuts that grow in Germany. GOOD REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET PUT OUT (Continud from Page One.) week," taking in Yuma, Gadsden and Somerton. He went from Yuma to Tucson, spending the day there and addressing ttepuolicans in the even ing. From Tucson he went to Pinal county, visiting Oracle, Mammoth, Hayden, Winkleman, Ray and Supe rior. Last Saturday he attended the annual picnic at Red Lake in Coco nino county, and after spending a few days in the north, returned to. the south to visit Gila, Graham and Greenlee counties and the boys at Camp Cody. It was at the Red Lake picnic two years ago that Governor Campbell opened his campaign, on which occasion he was thrown from a bucking broncho, experience horseman though he is. In his talks with Re publicans over the state, Governor Campbell has emphasized the neces sity of putting strong county tickets in the field, but has discouraged the nomination of poor men just to get the emolumens of office, on the ground that Republicans are not interested in drawing salaries, but in rendering service. He has pointed out that the Republican party has ever been the friend of liberty, the best illustration being that the anarchists, Socialists and wobblies never support Republi cans. In this connection he said: "The most cheering news to me since our boys began their big drive on the Huns on the western front is the suc cess of the great drive conducted by our government against the Huns in America at the Chicago trials of the I. W. W." The state committee filed nomina tion papers for the state ticket with the secretary of state on August 20, as ioiiowB, Thomas E. Campbell for governor. Thomas 'Maddock for representative in Congress. James A. Jones for state treasurer, David Benshimol for attorney gen eral. Jack White for state mine inspector. H. E. Mathews for superintendent of public instruction. There were three vacancies on the state ticket which will be taken care of by the state committee when in ses sion shortly after the primaries. There were two good men who were willing to run for the offices of state auditor and corporation commissioner. One was forced to change his mind at the last moment on account of busi ness and family reasons, and the other, J. G. Compton of Tucson, was willing to run for corporation com missioner, providing he could get the privilege and leave of absence from the railroad authorities in San Fran cisco. Mr. Compton is a railroad con ductor running from Tucson to EI Paso on the Southern Pacific railroad. He is well known and well liked and would have made a very good man for this particular office. He was advised by the San Francisco office as late as Friday that if he desired to run for office he would have to resign. This IT WILL BE COMPLETE UnLYjsWHEN EVERY CITIZEN IS DOING t 'f HIS SHARE TOWARD THE MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM he could not afford to do, as a rail road man will very easily understand, but to the rank and file of people who are not familiar with the workings of the railroad companies this would de prive Mr. Compton of his present standing and possibly he would have to go to the loot of the list of rail road conductors and would change his position according to the run that he has been holding. It was certain that Mr. Compton could easily beat Sam Bradncr, who is the administration candidate for corporation commis sioner on the Bemocratic ticket. Nomination papers signed by Lieut. Thomas Maddock, Republican nominee for Congress, were received at Repub lican headquarters from Lieut. Mad dock in France two days after the time required, but had been filed with out his signature', as instructions to do so had been received from him in a cablegram. Whether or not the name of Lieut. Maddock finds its way on the primary ballot, he will be the Repub lican nominee for Congress, as his name will either be written, in or will be promptly placed on the ballot at the first meeting of the Republican state committee after the primary, as he had no opposition. The papers .were sent to Lieut. Maddock in June, but did not reach Phoenix until August 22, In Maricopa county, where Sidney Osborn is supposed to run pretty well, there is very little heard of him, and Getting Money It's no easy job, vthis business of landing a dollar.

It was stated on the street by a man that he had a letter from Osborn in which he said he would withdraw from the race, and possibly in favor of Colter. Os born has a very hard proposition to overcome, on account of many feeling that he is not big enough to be the governor. The San Diego affair is apt to be an important issue of the campaign if certain aspiring Democrats land places on the ticket. The people of the state have not forgotten this occa sion on which their public officials vis ited San Diego, gave booze to boys of the Arizona regiment and caused sev eral of them,to be demoted and dis graced. The' names of the officials concerned are pretty well known over the state, and some of them are run ning for office again. They will have to answer for their conduct at the polls. o Sam Bradner in Flagstaff. Sam Bradner, secretary of the State Live Stock Sanitary Board, was in Flagstaff last Friday, on his way to Red Lake to attend the big doings there Saturday and to put up a talk for himself as candidate for corpora tion commissioner on the Democratic ticket. Sam is a mighty good sort of a fellow, except that he is tied up more or less" with the Hunt element in the state. But to be honest, we are inclined to believe that it is more po litical than a personal attachment "' .-"$ a ,' I" ' - J: $100,000 Oatman Arizona jj ate am i. n v.. , i h r -- 4 ! 4A' Bank frWtT'r k . ft lt;, s I f.
