 The agricultural department has been busily engaged in conducting ex- periments, and consular agents abroad, chiefly in Germany and France, have contributed much valuable information. It is stated by the authorities that there is no lack of material In Ger many there are farmers who raise po- tatoes exclusively for the distilleries and depend upon them alone for profit from their crops.
 This is one of the chief sources of income in the German empire. and last year 6O69 distilleries were operated, using potatoes alone, producing 76,- O1O,927 gallons of alcohol.
 In 19O4-O5 Germany consumed 26,0O0,- 1000 gallons of alcohol in producing light power and heat. Tn France, as in Germany, the manufacture of de- natured alcohol received government encouragement. but there, instead of potatoes. sugar beets and garden refuse constituted the chief source of the dis tfllate. There, as in Germany the man. ufacturing of denatured alcohol has made prodigious strides within recent years.
 The experiments conducted near Washington by the agricultural depart ment have shown that cOrnstalks may be distilled with profit, and it is stated by officials of the department that there is almost no limit to the waste of farms which may be turned into pure denatured alcohol. old corn that is unmarketable, mouldy wheat and barley, stalks, beets and any number of other things may be taken to the dis tillery and there command prices that will be profitable.
 Contrary to the pessimistic opinion expressed by the Phoenix gentleman that expensive plants are necessary, the department officials, after these experi- ments, which have naturally been made on a small scale. are of the opin- ion that the more progressive farmers will have their own stills for the manu- facture of alcohol for themselves and their neighbOrs. for the heating and lighting of their houses and for run hing their machinery
 It is found that the expense of pro ducing a gallon of alcohol will not greatly exceed the retail price of coal oil or gasolene, which is about ten cents in the east-more than three times as much in Phoenix A gallon of alcohol will furnish more light and heat than two gallons of kerosene or gasOlene.
 The experiments of the department show that we have in this valley abun- dant material for making alcohol, and, so far as those experiments show, there appears no reason why alcohol cannot be produced as cheaply here as any where else

We desire to be heard briefly on be- half of the silver -tongued MT. Worsely, whom the socialists are threatening to eliminate from themselves for his all legged violation of the rule that a man cannot be a socialist and a member of another party at the same time. By no stretch of imagination can the joint statehood cabal with which MT WorseIy has allied himself be called a party. If the threatened punishment should be visited upon MT Worsely, a socialist could not be a member of a cross roads baseball team.

A good looking face

What is the secret of good looks :? Comp1exion---a clear, smooth,
 youthful complexion with health tints that fairly glow with life. You can have a good complexion. Your face, neck, arms and
 hands can be made delicious to look at. Use Hagan's Magnolia Balm and you'll look ten years younger immediately after ap- plying it. It is not a cosmetic, neither is it greasy or sticky. It is a liquid as harmless as dis titled water. 75c, at all druggists.

contiguous parts, I would not favor
an unrestricted immigration from Chi
ma, nor any other populous country,
where there was great danger of nom
assimilation. 1 believe we would be
safe by restricting the number Of
Chinese to one hundred thousand Of
the most desirable workers yearly.
We do not want any ''highbinders'
here, nor do we want any of the Italian
''Mafia,' and 4 believe in strong meas
ures to prevent them from coming.
Now, whether the Chinese will flock
to cities, and hang to the laundry and
''chOp suey'' business or not, is the
question. We can use a million or
two in the country to advantage
cities are pOpulous enough now. Here,
all of our farm help is in the shape of
young fellows from 16 to 80 years old
from the s'moonshine districts of Ken

each spring, and most go back again
'after corn Shucking." Some "swear

Wanted in TeXaS-I cannot help
but think that such would come very
close to solving the farm labor prob
lem While they might not be desir-
able where only one or two men are
wanted at a place, yet where they
could go in squads working under
foreman of their own nationality,
they certainly fill the bill. This would
relieve the tension in the demand for
farm labor, and make it possible for
anybody requiring hand to get one.

ment. We shall probably never get
away from the time when men like
to work in a community, and they
would no doubt work cheaper i'm gangs.
But at the same time the employer
who hires but single man or perhaps
two, nearly always works with the
men, increasing their efficiency fully
20 per cent, and he could always af-
ford to pay an increased wage which
would secure the men. Let us have

A Grape Grower is Opposed
From all | have read I should think
the Chinese would be about the least
desirable of any addition we have to
our population. From what little
am certainly opposed to any relaxa
ton of the Exclusion Act. My great
objection is that it appears to me they
will never or can never, become Amer
icans With people of other nations
it is different. Italians, when they
first arrive in this country, seem to be
useful only to large contractors, cor
porations, fruit growers or canning
factories, where a considerable number
can find employment together, but
their children all go to school, are
apt scholars, and the second and third
generations will spread out, becoming
good American citizens, Italians only
i'm name. The gangs of Irish laborers
brought over 30 years ago were in all
above points much like Italians today;
everybody knows now that their COM
ing was good thing for this country.
| am opposed to the coming of any
people who cannot be expected finally
to become American citizens, whether
their coming would be at first help
full to the small farmer or not l be-
lieve in time the remedy would re
much worse than the disease is at
present. What now seems serious
problem is the congestion of new
comers i'm the large cities. I believe
time will remedy that, but it may have
to get considerably worse before it
gets better When times are good
then we always hear complaint about
scarcity of labor; everybody knows
the reason for this. | do not believe
anyone would want to give Uncle
Sam a dose of hard-times" as a RENE
dy. In my opinion the labor question
is like some imaginary trouble of our
physical bodies, the less dosing and
dOctOring the better. There are plenty
of laborers in the United States at the
present time if they were properly
distributed. In our little strip of grape
country, the Chautauqua-Erie belt, 30
miles long and two to four miles wide,
a good many farm labOrers are en-
plOyed throughout the summer season,
and i'm the fall for 40 to 60 days an
additional amount is needed, consist
ing of more than 5000 women and
girls, besides a good many men and
boys. There is never any scarcity of
help here. A little larger price will

might provide help for neighbOr
hood, but our experience is that farm
ers have been operating SO long as in
dividuals that they find it hard to
practice true cooperation.
The following are the opinions of
the various writers. mentioned above:
Would They Help Solve the Help
Question? Without doubt the help
problem is harder now than it has ever
been in the history of the country, be
ing hardest on the men who need one
or two hands during the summer
The larger growers who do big bust
ness do not seem to have much trouble
in supplying themselves. 1t is argued
by some that if the Chinese were ad-
mitted they would make excellent
hands for work upon our farms, thus
relieving for time the present trouble.
Are you, as a farmer, in favor of ad-
mitting the Chinese freely? In your
judgment do you think that the Chi
nese would make helpful farm labor
ers? Do you think they will be willing
to go to the smaller farms and work
so as to relieve the present labor
situation, or do you think such free
admission would help more particular
ly the larger growers and corporations
who require gangs of men?
J. H. Hale says, Let Them Come. -
1 have believed in the free admission
of Chinese farm Iaborers for many
years, having carefully noted their
work as house servants, all-around
handy men about the place, and as
farm labOrers on the Pacific coast. 1
have found many of them working
alone, only single man on the place,
and am satisfied they would fill any of
the small situations here in the East
with great satisfaction. Possibly their
only weak point would be that they
are not particularly handy in the care
of animals, and might not make good
stable men, mixers, etc. but for mar

where careful and painstaking work

be the men from the north of Italy,
who would be so valuable to the Amer
lean farm at the present time as the
Chinese, and l am for the open door
and cordial hand, provided they
come free and independent as individ-
uals and families, and not in large
bodies as contract 1aborers.

In FavOr-With Restrictions.-I feel
safe in saying that if we had an
abundance of cheap labor, even a re-
duction of 20 per cent, and not many
farmers would call that cheap, we
could, with our present knowledge of
soils and feeding, very readily multi
ply our output 1 hope that evil day
will not come again when we shall
be able to get labor on the farm for
so to 75 cents a day. On the other
hand, it seems to me unless some new
labor channel is opened or the efficien-
cy of a man through scientific and

Opposition from the Hudson Val
ley.-Without entering into any dis
cussiOn On the Chinese question, will
say that / am unequivOcally opposed
to any modification of the present
laws, that will admit the Chinese
coolies into this country. 1 think we
are receiving at the present time, alto
gether too much undesirable immi
grafton, and believe the opening of
our doors to the Chinese would make
bad conditions worse. do not believe
from my limited knowledge Of them,
that they would prove of value to the
general farmer, but would be used
more by contractors and in work
where numbers could be congregated
together A large influx of them
would mean, in my opinion, China
town in every city and town of i'm
pOrtance in the country, and we all
know what that means. While 1
recognize the Importance of the labor
problem on the farm, think we should
look elsewhere for the solution of it.
AS a suggestion, why not make it pos
sible for the thousands of unemployed
English wOrkingmen, who are on the
verge of starvation, to become self
sustaining and useful members of
society, not only to their benefit, but
ours also? We would welcome immi-
grafton of this character, and believe
it could be obtained, if efforts were
made in this direction.

Break up a Laundry Trust-We are
shorter of all labor in the South than
1 have ever known it in p years, and
what we have is very inferior and I'M
satisfactory. l believe, however, that
most of the Chinese labor would go
to cities and small towns and do laun-
dry work, but even this would help
us. as we have all our laundry done by
cOlOred women. and it has got to be
so high that Il few cOlOred women

A VIGOROUS YAWN.-Miss Mary
 Nelson. who resides on South Fourth
 avenue, had an experience last even ing that demonstrates how dangerous
 1t is to do even the most ordinary things of life. Feeling sleepy, she in-
 dulged in a good, old-fashiOned yawn
 and threw her jaw out of place so she could not close her mouth. It had been
 thus locked like an open "headgate" for nearly an hour before Dr. Swetnam arrived and it took him several long and strong pulls before he could get the bone machinery properly adjusted again When it did go back it snapped like a steel trap and would have cost the doctor couple of thumbs only that he had them wrapped up in a handkerchief.
 SUGAR BEETS.-A sample of some very good looking sugar beets was brought to the board of trade yester-
 day They were about half grown, and in good condition. The value of the sample is to show how well beets will grow in this country with just a little
 water. These beets are from a field planted by Leslie Norris on the Sym onds ranch east of the sugar factory, under the Arizona canal They were planted in January and have grown to ] their present size without a uEOp OL water save the very slight rains that l have fallen since then. If they get 1 just a little bit of water in the near fu- ture, it is believed they will mature and
 make a very profitable crop. Even | with no water il is likely the crop will l be worth something, if the old patch
 near the factory can be taken as an | indication of possibilities.

A resident of that part of town saw the wheel fall, picked it up, and | leaned it against a nearby house. No 1 one came after it and it was turned over to the police.
