Folk penounces Mail.order Idea.

Addressing a meeting of retail mer-
chants in Jefferson city recently, Gov
ernor Folk, of Missouri, said:
we are proud of our splendid
cities, and we want TO increase wealth
and population, and we also want our
country towns to grow. We wish the
city merchants to build up, but we
also desire the country merchants to
prosper. l do not believe in the mail
order citizen. If a place is good
enough for a man to live in and to
make his money in, its good enough
for him to spend his money in.
mo merchant a succeed without
advertising in one way or another.
Patronize your town papers, build
them up, and they will build the town
up in increased trade and greater OPP
portunities. Do not be afraid that
business is geing to be hurt by the re-
cent exposures of w%rong-doing in the
commercial world"

Animals That Shed Tears.

The. shedding of tears from grief
has been noticed among the higher
animals. Darwin reports that the
Indian elephant is known sometimes
to weep-when captured it sank to
utter prostration, uttering choked
cries with tears trickling down the
cheeks" Darwin also reports that
one species Of monkey is known to
weep copious drafts.

These are only the more important
items. 1t will be seen that the larger
expense by far is for education. Add
ing the amounts expended for the COM
MOI schools, high schools, together with
$4,000 interest on Chickasaw School
fund, $1,000 for summer normals, |. /. g.
c. endowment, etc., the total is above
$1,700,O00 per year. To this should also
be added the salaries of n county SUI
p~erintendents and the special tax IN
separate school districts. Mississippi is
making a fine record in the way of edu-
eating her youth, better than any other
Southern State and a larger part of the
Northern States. The next item in inn
~portance is for the support of Exon
federate soldiers who are without the
means of caring for themselves. In this
item S250,O00 is paid direct and $27 900
at the home. There are few indeed who
would advocate the curtailing of this
expense. The penitentiary shows on the
face a large item of expense, but this is
offset by revenues derived amounting to
something like 100000 in net profit
each year. This is over the $~214,000
OF expense. The A. I'm. College, which
together with the several experiment
stations, expend about S138,000 annu-
ally, but the excellent work being done
is sufficient cause for continuing the APP
preparation. While it is necessary to
expend a large sum to keep the. wheels
of government moving, our State is in
a very prosperous coIdition, and the
increase in taxable values does not re-
quire an increase in tie tax rate. As
the State progresses The expense of
maintenance will be necessarily in
creased, but the tax rate should be held
down by increased values.

Woman's seIf-sacrifice.

A Russian baroness, who wishes her
identity to remain a secret, recently
visited the hospital at Thounse and
saw a poor Swiss peasant girl brought
in. terribly burned by a petrol lamp
explosion. The baroness was told
that unless new skin was grated on
the girl the case vas hopeless.
The young baroness insisted that
they should take nearly a square foot
OF her W skin to heal the sufferer.
The operation was performed and the
girl will now recover.

THANKSGIVING pay
A Proclamation by the Governor
To the people of Arizona l:

To the people of Arizona:
 Of all our national holidays, that one which is the most peculi- arly American is near at hand. It seems eminently right that Thanks giving Day should be one of our greatest holidays. for it is na- tional belief that our beloved and favored country is in the especial keeping of Divine Providence.
 Moreover, the day has become hallowed, in all places where Amer jeans are to be found, by our own custom of family reunions for its celebration. 1t is thus holiday of happy thanksgiving. holiday of joyous meetings. and a holiday in which memories of the past have a sacred part.
 And because most of us have left homes elsewhere in order to estab-, fish homes in Arizona. there is, perhaps, no other section of the Union in which the day is more generally welcomed or its signifi- canoe more appreciated.
 The President of the United States has designated Thursday. the twenty-eighth day of this month as Thanksgiving Day for this year.
 Now therefore, I. Joseph H. Kib- bey. Governor of Arizona. do here by designate Thursday, November 28. 1907. as Thanksgiving Day in this Territory. and 1 recommend to the people that they observe the day in a proper spirit and manner. in accordance with their own sense of obligation and of wholesome pleasure.
 In Witness Whereof. l nave here unto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of tho Territory to be affixed. Done at the City of Phoe- nix. the Capital. this el ,venth day of November. nineteen hundred and seven.

Wood Pulp.

! More than 3l million tons of wood were made into pulp during the last year. Most of this was converted into paper. and of the paper the greater proportion was used for printing books and news papers, The supremacy of the United States in using the greatest amount of reading matter per cap ital is maintained at the cost of an enormous drain upon the forests.
 Yet besides paper there are a number of other special uses to which the great quantity of wood pulp was put. From pulp factories it went to other establishments where il was made into number of different articles of very diverse use. Among these articles is the water pail made of wood fiber which is now a more familiar sight than the one made of actual wood In addition to pail, wood-pulp is used in our homes in the form of basins. dishes, boxes. and picture frames. The use of wood-pupl for car wheels has long been known. but a new use reported from Ger many is that for telegraph poles. Articles of wood-pulp have consid- erable bearing on electrical indus tries as in the case of conduits and insulators in various forms.
 Americans now use wood-pulp steam and water pipes. shoe heels, horseshoes, spools. tool handles, buttons. pulleys. paving blocks, and coffins. Paper or wood-pulp surgeon splints have many advant- ages over those of other materials, in their lightness. strength. and fexibility. Perhaps the most uni que use for paper-pulp is for obser- vatory domes. Here again it's lightness. strength. and flexibility commend it, and in addition it has none of the disadvantages which arise from the use of metallic sub stance near to 'sensitized instru- ments.

PHOENIX ORANGES
The Orange Crop In Salt River Valley Estimated at Eighty Car Loads
 This Seascn.

Two carloads of oranges are now being shipped out of Phoenix from the packing house every day.
 There is consequnet rush and hustle of business at the packing
 cene and both sizing machines are kept busy and anumber of girls are employed in packing the fruit.
 The quality of the oranges now coming in is very fine and practi- cally all of the growers are pick ing and hauling the crops to the city. Up to Thursday night fully 30 boxes had been packed and most of them loaded. One car of stan dards containing 275 boxes was shipped to Tucson and will bring S900. This car was little short of athe usul number.
 One car of 384 boxes bound for Denver. and one for New York. were to 20 out last night or this morning. The market is good at present and good returns are ex- pected for the shipments which have been sent. c. E. Gordon is looking after the general details of the receiving and packing of the oranges and J. H. Fleming, an ex- periepced fruit grower, is at the packing house daily over seeing the orange business. It is his in- tention to distribute the Arizona oranges in many markets so as to educate the people and advertise the valley products all over the country. The Ariona orange is not so we'll known except in New York as fruit from other sections.
 Next year there will be big de- mand from all over the country for shipments of the valley orange and one which cannot be supplied.
 It is hoped that more interest can be aroused in orange growing and planting new orchards. which MT. Fleming thinks IS the best investment in the valley today. with the promise of certain wa ter supply by the government. He expects to have sixty acres in a few years bearing and rolling in the money. The valley crop this year is figured close to 80 carloads. which is nearly three tim ,s the out put of last year and due to better water service mainly. Phoenix Republican.
