Veterinary Examinations.

The board of secretaries of the state
veterinary board is holding its regular ex
aminations today with thirty-two young
and old men participating. This examina-
ton is held under the law enacted by the
late legislature, which provides that no
one in the state shall practice veterinary
medicine under the title OF a veterinarian
without first having secured license from
the state board Considerable opposition
has been aroused among the old time prac-
titioners. who say they will be unable to
pass the examination because of the tech
been practicing for twenty years or more
and know all about the inside and the out
side workings Of a horse.
A. p, Barnes of Plattsmouth, who has
| been practicing for twenty years, called
upon the governor today and protested
| against the enforcement of the law, which
he said was passed merely to drive the old
fellows out of the business and make way
| for the younger men who have yet to build
I'D a practice. DR.. Barnes was advised to
take the examination and did so, II be-
ing the belief that the old timers will have
no trouble in passing.
Dr. Peters Of the state university, a mem
her of the Board of Secretaries, said the
| law was passed to catch the fellows from
other states who jump into Nebraska and
| do lot of business because of sensational
advertising and who have no license to
practice here. The old timers, he said,
can go right ahead and practice, pro-
vided they do not call themselves veteri-
| narians and many of them are doing that
rather than take the examinations.

CONCERNING CLOCKS.

Never allow the clock to run down,
1t responds to regular attention just
as surely as human being does and
keeps its course truly when made to
follow its endless routine.
The hands Of clock should always
be turned forward. To set the hands
by reversing the right-hand motion il
to loosen delicate screws that hold
them within reach OF various cog
slips.
Never allow the clock to be moved
from the position where 1t is we'll bal
anced. A deviation of two or three
minutes a day from the correct time
may be the result of an uneven
placing Of the clock, and once 1t is
properly adjusted it should not be
shifted for dusting or for artistic pur-
poses. This is especially true Of
clocks that have pedulum.

A London scientist says that life in

sharp but not clever: that 1t often de-
'stroys their chance of ever being
clever. for ID hastens the development
of the brain unnaturally; It makes
them superficial, alert, but not OBJ
servant; excitable. but without one
spark Of enthusiasm; they are apt to
igrow- blase. hckle, disconteuted; they
see more things from the country-bred
child. but not such interesting things;
they do not properly zee anything. for
they have neither the time nor ca
,pacity to get at the root of all the be-
'wildering objects that crowd them
selves into their little lives. There ID
more than grain Of truth in this az

Tomorrow Guaymas and La Colorado will try conclusions again at the Sonora metropolis.
 One week from tomorrow the Nogales team will go to Hermosi- llo again to try out the series, there being now one game to the credit of each nine.
 The following week the Los An geles Examiner team will visit So- nora, playing at HermosillO and Guaymas, and at Nogales either going or returning from the trip.
 The Cananea manager is cores bonding with Doctor Noon, to ar range date at Nogales for his team.
 In this connection TIE OASIS would suggest that it would be a profitable undertaking for Nogales business men to club together to fitup the ball ground So there could be accommodated the crowds that would attend games. The gate re- ceipts would pay the cost in a very short time; and the crowds coming from abroad with the teams from other places would put into circu- lation a great deal of money each time. Such an outlay of money would be a wise business invest ment.

 A subscription was taken to aid in maintaining the organization, and during three months-until cold weather set in-concerts were given-in the park on this side of the line Thursday evenings and in the plaza on the Sonora side Sum- day evenings.

Collector Baker Has Resigned.

At the request of Mir. Edwin Baker, collector of customs for the district of Arizona, THE OASIS denied last week the report that he had resigned his official position. Wednesday of the present week the editor was shown letter from Mir. Loeb, private secretary of the presi- dent, dated the 20th, enclosing copy of letter from MT. Reynolds, assistant secretary of the treasury, stating. that Collector Baker's resig- nation had been filed.
 When the editor met Mir. Baker Thursday and asked about the re- signation, the collector explained that when he authorized denial of the report he did not yet know whether the resignation had been filed He had forwarded his letter of resignation to friend in Wash- ington to be filed upon receipt of a telegraphic order. That order had been sent, but receiving no reply he assumed the filing had not yet been done, and authorized denial of the report that was current. From the date of Mir. Loeb's letter --the 20th-it would seem that the resignation had been filed fully week earlier than the date when Mir. Baker authorized the denial, which latter was on the 26th ult.

Adaptation of Fruit.

For three or four years the Unit ed States department of agriculture at Washington has been making investigations on the adoption of different varieties of decidnous fruits to different climates through out the United States; but Arizona has never been included in these investigations. Arizona is, how ever, of sufficient importance as a fruit growing region to be included and certainly our climatic condi- tions are peculiar enough to de- serve individual study. Hence the territorial experiment station has made arrangements to have these investigations undertaken here.
 In order properly to cover the territory there should be several observers in each fruit growing district. Printed blanks are sup. piled from Washington on which are entered in tabulated form CD variety, CD age of tree, (3) date first bloom, (4) date full bloom, (5) date leaf buds begin to open, (6) date terminal buds form, CD date of picking, (S) size of crop, (9) date fit for use, (1O) how long the variety keeps. Any fruit grower who would take interest in making observations of this kind is invited to correspond with V. A. Clark, horticulturist of the exper- iment station farm at Phoenix. Arizona can make showing of her fruit growing possibilities that she can well be proud of and for her own good she ought to do it.-Ariz- ona Republican.
