...other candidates were nominated for a lot of other offices; that former Senator Lester Jesse Dickinson beat Representative Lloyd Thurston for the Republican nomination for Senator. Looming with a significance precisely equal to what others of other States might read into it was the Democratic Senatorial result: Gillette over Wearift by about 2-to-1.

Twice during the past year Great Brittain, France and the U. S. have appealed to the "world's conscience" against bombing of open cities. Fortnight ago. Canton, China, was subjected to a series of severe raids. Result: 1,000 dead, 1,500 wounded, widespread destruction.

Sheep followed each other, were bunched by the herder, tramped the range into dust, with the result that the next rain washed off the topsoil instead of bringing up fresh grass. Cattlemen had tried violence, but after a rancher in the Tonto Basin was hanged for killing two sheepherders, they gave it up. They tried cunning, stampeded wild horses into herds of sheep to discourage sheep-grazing...
