The shipbuilding industry on the Great Xakes, after lying dormant more or less for half ABBITT -P0LS0N CO. a decade, is enjoying a revival of pros OFFICER MUST MS ON HIS MOTOR CAR Arm'- Captain Objects to Paying for Anything Outside of License, But Attorney General Is of Different Opinion "It is charged that the president wants war," said Mr. Pou. "All the imps of hell never devised a more Infamous charge.

No man since Abraham Lincoln has gone through such -a test as the president in the last six months to avoid war. 'He has tried to preserver peace. He would not sacrifice a single life to make himself president for his life time." This talk of the president having kept the country out of -war produces extreme weariness in the minds of those who have intelligently followed the course of events during the past year. What has the president done to keep the country out of war that any man in his position could not have done and would not have done, if he had decided that in no circumstances should the country become involved in war, that no possible provocation or injury could force us Into war? No nation, during the present conflict in Europe, would attack us so long as we yield to every demand made upon us and offer only empty but high sounding protests, as we have been doing for the past year, against encroachments upon our rights. In doing so we have invited further and grosser encroachments.

It we could be forced into war in any possible circumstances, we have done the very things that would most surely bring us into war. But we are proof against war for the present. The time may come when one of the powerful nations now engaged in war, and then disengaged, may deliberately force war upon us after the manner of the wolf which picked a quarrel with the lamb. Such a thing is the more likely after our shameful, shifting record of a If the national administration in 1860 had been of the same stuff as the national administration of the present, we would have had and could have had no war of the rebellion, but we would now have a divided country. The comparison by Mr.

Pou of the shiftliness and weakness of the president with the firmness and strength of Lincoln is almost sacrilege. Cow-Testing More Popular Sentiment For Systematic Dairying Whatever the problems, local or international, that we must solve in the near and unknown future, we will be the better prepared for them, if we build up our agriculture arid rural life, making the farm more likeable as well as more profitable.

Chicago and smaller Great Lake ports. The opening of the Panama canal, the activities of submarines and the healthy increase in exports are considered the immediate causes of the shipbuilding boom. The claim is made, without denial from the builders, that old ships and vessels now under construction are bringing better prices than in many years. This boom will bring millions of dollars of business to the dozen or so of shipbuilding companies, has created new work for hundreds of men and already has caused the rebuilding of old yards and the planning of several new ones. The demand is strong for both lake and ocean vessels and only the inability of the builders to give assurance of delivery of the ships by 1917 stands in the way of even heavier orders.

Foreign interests are prominent among the buyers. With the first clash of arms in Europe, shippers saw the necessity for obtaining boats quickly to carry merchandise to foreign and domestic ports. One New York capitalist obtained at least four huge Great Lake package freighters. At the Welland canal these ships had to be cut into sections before they could continue the trip to the coast. The tremendous amount state license number T658.

E. A. Hughes, county assessor of Cochise county, attempted to levy a tax on the machine, and the military man became incensed and said that he would never in a million years come across with the money. Hughes communicated with the tax commission on the subject. The commission turned the matter over to Attorney General Jones, who handed down an opinion to the effect that the captain could run his machine on the reservation as much as he liked, but that the minute he poked its nose over tiie line, there would be doings in the seizure line.

Following is the opinion given the commission- by Mr. Jones: the latter part of this month. We would be pleased to have you present at this meeting, and feel sure that our patrons will be anxious to avail themselves of your valuable services in the matter." The following letter is from the "individual dairyman," J. Bradshaw: "After reading your articles in the paper I want to take this opportunity of indorsing what you have said therein, except to make the importance of this work stronger than you have stated. "In my own experience in testing and keeping monthly records, which I do regularly, I find that the cows which I thought to be the highest producer are not always so, and the only way I could have been convinced other than that was by weighing and testing the milk for monthly periods during the year, because I have found that some of my cows I ttiought the best producers, while they started off at a phenomenal capacity, did not hold no and carry their own during the lactation period, while others producing less milk and a higher percentage of butter fat produced a higher net profit for the year.

A writer in a recent number of the Country Gentleman undertakes to dispose of a few fallacies that people are pleased to indulge in regarding the livestock and agricultural products of different sections of the United States.

Apparently it is a popular custom to associate certain commodities with certain localities regardless of statistics. For example, Missouri is supposed to be the banner state for mules; but indubitable figures show that Texas has nearly twice as many mules as Missouri, and that the latter state has only a few more than Georgia. Another belief exists that the southern states lead in the growing of corn; but the fact is that Illi- nois and Iowa are the foremost corn states. They are some 200,000,000 bushels ahead of all the other states, except Missouri, which ranks third. As for New York, what is the leading crop of that mighty state? Wheat, fruit, green produce? No hay.

New York hay land reaches 000,000 acres and produces $80,000,000 of hay a year. Hay crops cover almost twice as much land as the grain, fruit and truck crops combined; and are worth almost twice as much as all cereals and three times as much as all fruits. All of which goes to show that it is not wise to put too much trust in popular notions. A good many inaccurate statements find their way into speech and print merely because certain facts are taken for granted. Facts are believed to be plain, solid things, but they are often decidedly elusive.

Not only the farm improvement association, but now the individual holders of dairy herds and the Maricopa Dairymen's association are taking the matter up.

'The general plan of the organization the Cow Testing association is for the dairymen in a certain locality to call a meeting and elect a board of seven directors, who shall elect a president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer from their number. This body shall secure and pass upon the members, decide the charges to be made and hire and control a tester. The association' should haw about twenty-five or thirty members so that the tester can stop one whole day with each member once a month. He will usually arrive in the afternoon, will see the cows milked, weigh, sample and test it immediately and enter the eights in the farmer's herd bock, together with the weights and value of the feed. He will stay all night, and in the morning repeat the operation for the morning milking as well as a test of the cream and skimmed milk if desired and be transported to the next member in time to begin work for the next" day.

The charges are usually about $1.50 per cow per year, hut the exact charge is to be determined by the board of directors. Here is a letter from B. G. "Webster, manager of the Maricopa creamery to County Farm Advisor James A. Armstrong: "It is with pleasure that we note your article in The Republican of March 2nd, explaining the proposed work undertaken by you in connection with the formation of Cow Testing associations.

"We believe that thre is no longer ny doubt in the minds of our dairymen as to the absolute necessity of knowing the identity of their profit and non-profit producing cows This company certainly realizes the great good which can be accomplished by a cow testing association when properly eon-ducted. It would seem that all that remains to make such an association a sreat success is the initial start. "Recently the Maricopa Dairymen's association, which is composed of the rntrons of the Maricopa creamery, hat! this matter up for discussion, and it was decided to devote more time and attention to plans for testing their cows, on the occasion of the next meeting, which will likely be some time in States government, but is the private aim mat negotiations are in progress for 30 more ships.

The Kent bill for the creation of a National Park Service, for the co-ordination of the administration of national parks and for the development of the scheme of national playgrounds is just now attracting a great deal of attention, enlisting the interest of playground enthusiasts, stockmen and timbermen, and is arousing some opposition in the department of agriculture, since it proposes that the national parks shall be under the supervision of the secretary of tiie interior instead of that of the department of agriculture through the forestry service. Such supervision, it is specifically proposed in the bill, shall extend over "the several national parks, national monuments, the Hot Springs Reservation in the state of Arkansas and such oilier national parks, national monuments and reservations of like character as may hereafter be created or authorized by congress." The secretary is authorized to promulgate rules for the regulation of parks, monuments and reservations, fur the selling and cutting of timber and for granting privileges, leases and permits for the use of lands not. however, exceeding a period of twenty years. But no franchise of any character shall be granted that will interfere with natural curiosities, wonders or objects of interest or which shall interfere with free access to them by the public. Two years ago the office of landscape gardener and superintendent of national parks was created and headquarters were established in San Francisco.

The announced policy of the superintendent was "to keep in the United States two hundred millions of dollars of the five hundred millions expended annually by tourists abroad." How far that policy has been carried out we do not know, but the European war must have given it some aid. We are not informed either as to the work accomplished by the superintendent. As is provided in the bill, the territory over which the national park service would have control would have to be defined by congress from time to time. It would, perhaps, not be extended beyond the location or "objects of natural curiosities, wonders or objects of interest," so as to interefere as slightly as possible with the jurisdiction of the forestry service when the national park happened to lie within a forest reserve. If so, very vigorous opposition would be encountered for settlers, stockmen, lumbermen and others direetly interested in the public domain are satisfied with the administration of the forestry service, however much they may have objected a few years ago to its establishment.

Most, if not all, the national parks, as well as those which are yet to be created in the west, lie within forest reservations. The Grand Canyon reservation, for instance, embraces about S.000 suare miles lying on both sides of the Canyon. Within the reservation, on both sides of the Canyon, extending a few miles back, the Grand Canyon National monument is located and, probably, if a national park should be created there, no more territory than is included in the monument would be brought under the control of the national park service. If the interests of the stockmen and lumbermen of Arizona, which have been secured to them by the forestry service administration, will not be disturbed by tiie Kent bill, it is a good measure and should he supported by all who feel a pride in the scenic beauties and wonders of their native land and who desire that the world's interest in them shall be stimulated and spread. Perhaps the development of the national parks could be carried on as well under the department of agriculture as under the department of the interiori but it would not be likely to be so developed as under a service especially created for that purpose.

The work of the forestry service is purely utilitarian, while that of the national park service would not be largely so. According to the bill, the secretary of the interior would publish his own rules regarding permits and leases in a limited part of the forest reserves within which the national parks would lie, but we suppose those rules would be in consonance with those of the forestry service relating to the same purposes, tor, no doubt, In many cases the privileges so granted would extend across the boundary line between the jurisdictions of the two services. The announcement is made that the name of the captain of the football team at Princeton University heads a protest against the introduction of military drill into colleges and universities. He characterizes as ill-advised and entirely ineffectual "the sort of preparedness brought into being by going about stirring up the military feelings of the young men of the country, and by a hap-hazard drilling for a few weeks in the summer." This expert is engaged, practically the year round, in 'training a selected few students for preparedness to meet a few other also specially trained students, in a rough and tumble and by no means gentle contest for supremacy on the gridiron. It would be interesting to know his opinion regarding training generally, if he were obliged to use the average run of undergraduates on the football field.

The inabilitv ir. erate his machine on our state highways: so if the captain refuses voluntarily to pay the tax properly levied on his machine, it would be the duty of the tax assessor to seize the machine wherever he may find it upon the state highways of Cochise county. "Whether or not he would have authority to seize it upon the-Fort Huachuca military reservation, it is not necessary for this office to state at this time; also, I think that question may be entirely avoided, unless the captain sees fit to confine his auto trips within the limits of the reservation." The assessor, according to his letter, has had considerable trouble with attempting to tax certain property belonging to the officers at the post. According to the federal law, he cannot serve a civil paper on the reservation without the permission of the officer commanding.

Captain Nelson proudly called the assessor's attention to the fact that he had been an officer of the United States army for seventeen years, and during that time had never been called upon to pay taxes. If the machine had been the property of the federal government, the question would never have been raised, but inasmuch as the machine belongs to a private individual in the chase greater nuantities of i If it's a matter of a TITLE an ESCROW an estate a TRUST We are equipped to handle in "The Safe Way."

And do you know that the doctor who made the startling revelation declared that it was solely due to the ill-fitting chairs in common use? Typists, dressmakers, theater-goers, milliners, shoemakers, tailors, authors, telephone operatois and housekeepers, nearly all possess slight deformities of the legs, neck, back or head, all caused hy the chairs they sit upon while at work or pleasure. What is the use of constantly admonishing children to "sit up straight and keep your shoulders back" when the very school desks at which t'ley sit forbid it? The squat, old-fashioned chairs, that look so cozy, are all wrong from a health point of view.

The long seat makes it impossible to fit one's back into the back of the chair, and the result is that the individual sits on the edge of the spine, instead of firmly on the base. This causes all sorts of complications to arise In the general health. Yet our factories still turn out the fashionable chair of the moment either slavishly following the style of some period, or else lavishing all their efforts on effects that appeal to the eye.
