TRAINING In
Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Executive Department of the
Governor.
The people of the Territory OF
Arizona, in gracious and unfeigned
acknowledgment of the rich bless
ings bestowed during the year by
the Supreme Ruler, and ever mind
ful of their dependence on the
bounty of the Giver of all good,
should seek fitting occasion to ex-
press their feeling of gratitude and
adorati on.
The general health of our citizen
ship has been good; the treasures
of our mines, forests, fields and
gardens have been poured forth in
increasing quantities; and the paths
of honest toll and energy have led
to comfort, contentment and happi-
ness. Prosperity has come to all
branches of industry, not only in
this Territory, but in the Nation,
for which the expressions of thanks
of a grateful people should be de-
voutly given.
In harmony with the beautiful
custom of our people of giving a
day in each year to devotion and
thanksgiving for the gifts of Provi-
dencs, l, Alexander o. Brodie,
Governor of the Territory of Ari-
zona, do hereby recommend, in
conformity with the proclamation
of the President of the United
States, that Thursday, November
26, 1908, be observed as day of
especial devotion to thanksgiving
and prayer, remembering the needy
in acts of Christian charity and
brotherly love, that we may be
worthy of the Divine blessings of
Almighty God.
In witness whereof l have here
unto set my hand, and caused the
Great Seal of the Territory of Ari-
zona to be affixed. Done at the
Capitol, in the City of Phoenix,
this sixth day of November, A. D.,
1908.

A Plea For The Toad.

The american Farmer has a con
stitutional inclination to take sides
with the weak, and to speak good
word for those who have a few ad-
vocates. For this reason it de-
fends the mule, talks up for the
stolid jackass, puts in plea for
birds, and even has a few kind re-
marks for snakes, the most friend
less of all animals. The article,
however, is especially devoted to
our little friend, the hop toad, who
has perhaps suffered as much as
any of them by being given a bad
name. Centuries ago some ignor-
anus started story that the toad
exuded a poison and ever after.
ward the superstitious prosecuted
the little fellow and made life mis-
erable for him. To this very day,
many farmers boy believes that
the toad causes warts, and to this
erroneous belief has been due the
death of thousands Of these inno-
cents. Shakespeare, unfortunately
lent his great influence to the pre-
petuation of this harmful supersti-
ton when he wrote in Gas You
Like It."
Sweet are the uses of adversely,
Which, like toad, ugly and veno-
nous
Wears yet precious jewel in it's
head.
But the toad is not "venomous"
whatever may be said of his beauty;
neither does he wear precious
jewel in his head or anywhere else.
Ho is not engaged in the jewelry,
business, but those who have
studied his habits and been profited
by his good qualities, will not hesi-
tate to say that the toad is some.
thing of jewel himself. As a fly
catcher, the toad is unequaled. He
can "slick up" more flies and do it,
with less parade, than any other
exterminator in that business.
You won't need any fly screens in
your home if you keep a supply of
toads around the house. "Musca
Domestica" has no show whatever
against the swiftly darting tongue
of the diligent toad. Put half
dozen lively toads in room and
you may dispense with mosquito
netting, as the malaria breeding
pests are choice meat for,our MIN.
BILE little hoppers.
The best investment any gardner
can make on beginning business is
to fill his grounds with toads. This
is we'll understood by the French,
who cultivate and protect these
little animals as their best friends. |

There is nothing more necessary 10 health
than sleep and rest. IL these are denied you,
If you rise in the morning more tired than
when you went TO bed, there is an affection OF
the nerves plainly present. IL your heart is
weak, or there is an inherited tendency in
that direction, your weakened nerves will
soon so affect your hearts action as to bring
on serious, chronic trouble. DIR. Miles Ner-
vine is a nerve tonic, which quiets the nerves,
SO that sleep may come, and il quickly re-
stores the weakened nerves to health and
strength. Or. Miles Heart Cure is a great
blood and heart tonic which regulates the ac-
ton OF the heart, enriches the blood and inn
proves the circulation.
Some time ago was suffering severely

THE Globe Belt says: The rail-
roads Of the United States employ
over 100000 persons. There are
it is estimated, close to 100000
stock and bondholders, and, there
fore, 100000 people who are vi
tally interested in the prosperity
of the railroads. 1t is interesting
TO note how the earnings of the
railroads of the country are divid-
ed. During 1902 the gross income
OF the railroads amounted to ST.
769, 100000. Full nine-tenths of
this sum was paid to labor, directly
or indirectly. There remained
$685. 100000. Out ofthis there was
paid s54, 100000 in taxes, $685.
600, 900 in interest to bondholders
and s157, 100000 in dividends to
stockholders. This left a remain
ing surplus ofs72, 100000. Out of
this surplus the was expended
s34, 100000 for improvements,
most of which went to labor. 1t
therefore appears that out of the
81, 100000 earned by the rail
roads of the country in 1902 fully
sl,lOO,O00,0O0 was paid to labor,
either directly or indirectly.

George w. Murphy, attorney

cultural commissioner, have issued

who are among the states most

positions of trust, gifts from the
people, denounce Gov. Davis
statements as to the unsuitablllty
Of the farm, as we'll as his insin-
uations against the members OF

chase about, as malignant false
hoods. These officers contend
that the purchase is an admirable
one, and court investigation by
