The Albuquerque Journal informs it's readers that it is a waste of time to talk. or even think, about joint state- hood carrying in Arizona. It urges nevertheless that every effort be made in New Mexico to poll the largest pos sible vote for it. only with the hope that the display of sentiment in favor of any kind of statehood may induce congress 10 admit that territory as a separate state. As we have hitherto remarked, We do not believe it is a good thing for the Nek AIexicans to aim at one thing when they really want to shoot something else, but if the journal feels that way about it and leaves us en- tirely out of its calculations, we can offer no serious objections.

RETIREMENT OF GEN. BALDWIN


 People of Arizona feel a mingling of pleasure and regret at the retirement og General Frank D. Baldwin, who at tained the age of sixty-three yesterday and whose practically continuous ser vice had covered a period of forty-five years. There is regret that the army by the operation of the law loses an efficient and still active officer of high rank. and pleasure that he enters upon period of well deserved rest.
 There is an especially warm corner in the hearts of Arizonians for Gen eral Baldwin. who endeared himself to them during his administration of the department of the Colorado. He was a frequent visitor to the territory in the course of his official tours of the army posts and many of the improvements of conditions were made at his instance. General Baldwin was deeply interested in the rehabilitation of Whipple Bar racks and the generous scale on which it was effected was In part the result of the interest he took in 1t.
 After his transfer to the command of the southwestern division his visits to the territory became necessarily less frequent but his interest in it suffered no abatement.
 General Baldwin was among the few remaining officers of the army whose spurs were won in the war between the states when giants battled with each other and when a nation was the issue on which they fought.

Current Event Entertains

On Tuesday afternoon and evening the
Kensington Department of the Current
Event club held their annual display Of
needle work at the I. O. o. F. Hall. Only
members of the club were eligible, al.
though each member was permitted to
take two lady friends in the afternoon,
and her husband in the evening.
The pieces on display were only those
which members had done during the
past year, and comprised about seventy
articles, such as center pieces. doilies,
lunch cloths, dresser scarfs, baby shoes,
candle shades and many other useful
and decorative pieces. There we're lunch
cloths with strawberry designs that
looked very natural, pillows in brilliant
colors, Hardanger, eyelet and shadow
embroidery, designs in lacework with
new stitches, pretty for linen suits for
ladies and children, and all kinds of evil
dence that the Kensington department
is an active branch of the club, teaching
and securing results.
Not alone were these articles a source
of pride because of their intrinsic value
but because the club teaches and cult
Yates the skill that brings them forth
out of the simple fabrics on the market
They stood for attainment that made the
ladies proud of each other, and their
husbands proud of them all The ex-
hlbit was evidence to the gentlemen that
when their wives go out to the club for
an afternoon, that they are bent on
something very different from idle gossip
and other matters so often tested about
in connection with those meetings.
Great credit is due Mrs. G. II. Hol-
brook, leader, for the accomplishments
of the year and the success of the dis
play and entertainment.
During the evening the guests in
dulged in chatting, games, etc, and
short musical program, after which
luncheon of parfait cake and coffee was
served.
