The Value Of a Trademark.

A trademark is usually some one
particular mark on goods to show
their origin, but, as matter Of fact,
nay new, original quality, feature or
characteristic Of an article Of manufac-
ture, if widely made known through
advertising, becomes valuable as a
trademark, and is protected by tho
courts, so that one article may have
many trademarks that belong TO
it alone. Thus, for example, in the
case Of Cascarets, Candy Catbartic,
the name Cascarets," the expression
"Candy Csthartie," the peculiar
shape and color of the box, the octag'
onal tablet, and the letters &c. G.
c." on each tablet are all expressive
trade "marks" Of that popular medi'
cine, because they indicate their gonu'
ineness, distinguish them from imita'
tions and have become universally
known to the people.

electors, it will be Of great damage to
the party, as well as to the people, to

each candidate, naming five responsi.

office holders, and let their names be
written on slips of paper, and together,
with fifty or more blank slips, be placed

also, until five are drawn, who shall Sc.
lect from among the aspirants those
who seem the best-ftted and most like

mitted to the primaries for the sane
tion of the people.
1t is true that such action would be
merely suggestive to the people at the
primaries, and that they might refuse
any candidate so offered; but should
they do so, the result would be the
same as If no offer had been made, and
a candidate having the endorsement Of
the. best men of the state, who had
themselves no political aspirations,
would, without doubt, receive serious
consideration from the people, and be
accepted by them at the primaries, as
the voters, as a body, probably know
little of the character or merits Of
majority Of the candidates, and would
feel relieved If the responsibility Of Sc
lection was accepted by a board of
citizens in whom the people had conf.
dence.
Such action on the part Of the aspi-
rants would place before the people
the manifestation of patriotism and
unselfshness that would rebound large

besides giving the satisfaction Of hav-
ing been able to assist in closing the
ranks that otherwise, with 50 many
candidates in the field, must conse-
quently be rather thin on the firing line.

Information regarding the new move.
ment in education, which connects the
school more closely with outside life,
crops up on all sides. This method is
being adopted in all subjects by the
greatest authorities. But perhaps the

heard the other day Of the case Of
father who, one evening in May, told
his boy that he was to sit at the other
end of the sitting-room table until he
had finished his arithmetic examples,
and that he might 60 out and play with
the other boys until bedtime. It was
the middle Of the baseball season, and
an important game was scheduled,
which the boys wanted to sit on the
fence in the moonlight and discuss.
The father thought that he would

ed to be deeply immersed in his arith-
metic, but pretty soon the father heard
faint mumbling of such words as
'chapion record" baseball, "
"games won," " "lost," "won the pen.
nant, " "batting averages" ETC., and
he came to the conclusion that the boy
was shamming about studying, and
that his mind and even his tongue were
busy with the school boy plays.
So the father spoke rather sharply
to the lad, and reminded him that he
couldn't go out to see the other boys
until he had done his examples, and
that he had better stop thinking about
those baseball games.
The youngster looked up most indig.
pantly and "guessed" that he had
been studying with all his might. He
had done three hard baseball" prob.
Ions.
This was such startling information
as to the kind Of problems that school
children have to solve, that the father
went around the table to where the boy
was sitting, and looking over his shoul-
der read these three problems:
l. The championship record in base.
ball in a certain year was 80 games
won, IA lost. What per cent Of the
games were won't
2. One Of the best records Of base.
ball in recent years was when Brooklyn
won the pennant with total Of SO
games won, 54 lost. What was the
average per cent of games wont
3. Two of the best running averages
in baseball were 597 times at the bat,
l39 runs, and 543 times at the bat, 145
runs What was the per cent Of runs

"Welll" exclaimed the father, "you
boys do have an easy time. School
baseball club practice all the afternoon,
then baseball problems TO solve in the
evening, then, suppose, you spend the
next morning explaining the problems
in the class But see that it isn't all
baseball" he added, as he looked
over some Of the other pages, "al-
though almost every problem has an in.
terest for boys and girls, for they all
seem to deal with something in real

HOW THE VALLEY MAY BE MADE
 BEAUTIFUL.

To the Editor of The Republican:
 Sir-As I am somewhat of a farmer I
 As I am somewhat of a farmer feel like writing a few lines giving my opinion as to how we, as indivd- uals, maybe helpful one to the other and in that way help the appearance of the valley.
 ! notice in driving about the roads that many of our highways look very ragged and badly kept in many places There is but a single wagon track and if you meet a turnout you have to turn out into coczleburrs or sunflow- CT stalks to let them pass. This I must say is not so much the case northeast of Phoenix as west and northwest. Now if each farmer or renter would see to it that these weeds and burrs were cut along his land it would add decidedly to the appearance of the community in which he lives and if the farmers in and about Glen dale where they have so much irriga- ton water running to waste, would cut the weeds, burrs and brush they could with the waste water soon have fine stand of alfalfa along the road side. It may be carelessness on the part of some one to allow this water to run to waste. If it is not careless ness. do not say anything about the Arizona canal not giving a proper wa ter supply.

PAYING BUSINESS
 OF BEET GROWING
Some Facts and Figures by Q Former Rocky Ford Farmer.

K L. Mumford of Mesa, who is in terested in the sugar beet growing business, was in the city yesterday. It was the growing of sugar beets that brought MT. MumfOrd to this part of
 the country. He had lived at Rocky Ford, Col, before that got to be a beet growing center, when the chief indus try was the growing of the famous Rocky Ford melons, in which he was more or less engaged as long as he liVeG there, though he availed himself of the advantages offered by the build ing of the sugar factory. He first came to this country as the agent of II. Woods, the Chicago commission man, who has been handling the out iput of the south side melon growers. That was more than two years ago, after the beginning of work on the sugar factory near Glendale.
 Mrs. MumfOrd had been in ill health for some time and the physicians said
 that the altitude of Rocky Ford was
 too great for her. Mr. Mumford then decided to move to this valley.
 Mir. MumfOrd yesterday drew an in teresting comparison between the Salt
 River valley and Rocky Ford as a
 beet growing region. He said that the
 introduction of the sugar beet factory
 into Rocky Ford had been a great
 thing not only for the farmers but
 for everybody else in a variety of
 ways. Land which was selling slowly
 at $50 an acre cannot be bought for
 less than from $50 to $2OO There as
 here the farmers were at first inclined
 to be apathetic. They and the busi-
 ness men raised the required bonus but not many of the farmers would
 enter into the five year contract to
 raise beets required by the owners of
 the sugar factory. It looked as if the
 enterprise would come to a standstill
 when the business men of Rocky Ford
 took the matter up. They signed the
 necessary contracts and either rented
 land for sugar beet raising or induced
 farmers later to take their places.
Arizona republican., 1905-10-22

CT news but the situation is so allur- ing a frequent reference \ cannot be refrained from. There is no crop rais- ed here that promises so large returns as the beet crop to those who have the soil fitted for their culture, and it is fortunate that there is so large an area of this soil in the valley; more in fact than will supply this factory several times over if it is all devoted to that purpose. There never was a project here that was so we'll figured out scientifically and in which the conditions were found to be so per feet. So far as tests and experiments have gone the conditions are better than in most places where the raising of sugar beets has proved the most ffattering kind of a success. It is therefore about as near a sure thing for the farmer as he can ever hope to get anywhere and better than is offered to most farmers in most coun- tries.
Arizona republican., 1905-10-22

The sugar beet factory has long since ceased to solicit contracts. The proprietors sit in their office and wait for the farmers to come in and ask the privilege of raising beets for the factory. And it is privilege well worth the asking.
 MT. Mumford lately received one of the lists from the factory for the last season, showing what had been paid the farmers on that list, which in cluded fifty. The lowest one received $40 an acre for all the beets he had out, while the highest received S2I9 an acre. The average was in the neighborhood of $15O.
 MT. Mumford said that the eXperi- ments of MT. Johnson, the beet sugar expert, showed that the yield per acre in the valley would be about the same as in the neighbOThood of Rocky Ford, and that the beets possess about the same sugar making qualities.
 The farmers here would enjoy two great advantages over the growers of Rocky Ford who have to get their befts out of the way before freezing weather comes. Then they have to be buried in silos under heavy coat ings of earth, to be removed in the spring. Here the farmers can plant the beets as late as December 1, let them grow all winter and deliver them about May 1. Then the same ground on which the beets were grown can be planted to melons which will be out of the way for the next planting of beets or any other crop. Beets, says MT. MumfOrd, require a great deal less water than melons or almost any other crop.

SUGAR MAKING
 PRELIMINARIES
Theodore Hapke Will Start
 to Glendale tuesday.

Theodore Hapke, the moving spirit in the beet sugar factory enterprise, did not reach here during the week just closed, but his assistant, Lafay- ette Myers, yesterday received a let ter from him explaining his delay and authorizing him to proceed at once with preliminaries. MT. Hapke wrote that on account of his inability to secure the drawings and specifications for the building of the sugar factory, from the receiver of the former Amer ican Construction and Supply compa- ny, he was detained in the east long CT than he expected to be. However, the receiver has now turned these documents over to him and they were mailed to MT. Myers yesterday. MT. Hapke leaves Chicago for Glendale next Tuesday, Oct. 24
 MT. Myers in the meantime will rush the matter of preliminaries as fast as possible. Yesterday he prepared not ices to brick manufacturers, to con- tractors and to farmers, ranchers and land owners in this valley, all of which will be found in other columns of this issue of The Republican. The notices to the contractors call for bids for the completion of the main building by filling in the steel structure with brick, which structure is to be e feet wide by 25S feet long, a portion of it three and a portion of it five stories high; a two story warehouse 67x2OO feet; a bailer and limekiln house of the same dimensions only one story high; smoke stack 165 feet high, etc. The foundations for all these struc- lures are in and it is specified that the work under these contracts must be than two months hence.
 The notice to farmers and land own CTS should be read by all agricuItur- ists. It announces that the company will be ready by Nov. to make con tracts for the buying of beets, up to the limit of the product of 1, 900 acres. Seed and expert advice will be fur nished by the company and the nec- essary tools for the proper cultivation of the beets will be either sold or rent ed by the implement dealers of the city. The company requests that all who contemplate planting over twenty acres of beets correspond with the sugar company before November 15. that arrangements may be made for the securing of proper help in cuIti- vating the crop.
 There can be no longer a doubt about the sugar factory. It is as cer- tain as taxes and that is a sure shot in this country. And what it means for the prosperity of this valley has been so oft repeated that it is no long
