Facial Cold Cream Bath to Preserve Softness and

There is Just one thing more trying

SALOONS MUST CLOSE DURING lAY 0F
 PRIMARIES
Attorney General Clark So ln- terprets the Law to That
 Effect.

sAccording to the interpretation of Attorney General E. s. Clark, the sa- Icons must close on the day on which primary elections are held in Arizona under the new primary law.
 Clark, it seems, has been studying the law and had already delivered an opinion on the subject for the benefit of the Yavapai county board of su- pervisors
 The law on the subject provides that saloons must close when the polls are open for all general elections. It does not refer to primaries, and here tofore 1t has been customary for tine saloons to remain open when the pri- naries were in progress. However, the primaries have not been held si- simultaneously all over the . territory heretofore, and this is the first one held under the new law and under the direction of the county administra- tioDs.
 The attorney general holds that as it is'a general primary, the election law affecting saloons covers this day.

PLANS FOR MOVEMENT
 OF TROOPS COMPLETE.

OYSTER BAY, Sept. 25.-Plans for the transfer of troops from the United States to Cuba in the event of failure of Secretary Taft's mission to bring about peaceful solution of the trou-- ble in the Island Republic. have been completed.
 The final step was taken today when the transport Sumner. now lying at the New York navy yard, was put in commission.
 The Sumner is in readiness for the immediate authorization of troops. Ne gotiations are also under way for the acquisition of merchant steamers to be used as transports.
 That events of today, as told in the press dispatches, have hastened the plans which have been long in prepara- tion, seems apparent. Additional warships will reach Cuba within a few days, and will be ready to land ma rines if necessary long before the reg. ular troops now awaiting orders can be moved.

 Yesterday an organization called the Christian Assembly Ranch Company was incorporated to carry on the work, and 1t was given out that the money necessary would be secured only by the grace of God.
