Now, we consider that re-
markably fine record, and we
doubt if it has parallel in the
state. Here is cne.horse farm
er and his wife who have made
in one month, in the "dead of
winter" by the sale of "inciden
tails" more than many farmer
and his family realize from a
similar source during the course
of a whole year In the language
of our esteemed Chester contem-
porary, 'Who can beat it?"
MIR. Blackmon makes it point
to always have something to sell.
He markets butter, milk, chick
ems and eggs all during the year,
and vegetables when in season.
He now has over 1000 cabbage
plants set out and will put out
as many more. He and his wife
do practically all the work on
the farm. They have children,
but when the children are not at
school they are at work in the
cotton mills, which are about a
mile from the Blackmon home.
1t is at the mills that Mr.. Black
mon sells the most of his pro-
duce, and he says that he could
readily sell ten times as much as
he does if he had it.
How much better off the coun-
try would be if the farmers gen.
orally, instead of trying to make
so much cotton, would devote
more attention to the raising OF
other farm products. Mr.. Black
mon tells us that he makes more
off his "side lines" alone than
he could possibly make on full
two horse cotton farm.

HOW A SMALL FARMER AND HIS
WIFE ARE MAKING MONEY.

We recently reproduced in
these columns a brief article
from the Chester Lantern to the
effect that a farmers wife of
that county realized "about $83"
from the sale of chickens, butter
and eggs the past year and our
esteemed contemporary asked
"Who can beat itg" To which we
added that there are no doubt
farmers wives in Lancaster
county "who can beat it" and
expressed a desire to hear from
some of them. Since then the
Lantern has found another Ches-
ter county farmers wife who
made a nice sum last year by
selling country produce. The
Lantern of last Friday says:
''We have heard of another
busy farmers vile in this county,
who makes no pretensions of
running a poultry or dairy farm,
but incidentally adds good sum
to the family's income. She sold
last year 500 worth of butter
and $40 worth of chickens ard
eggs. No chickens were sold af
ter March 1st, as disease attack
ed the chickens and stopped the
revenue from that source"
Both cases cited by the Ian
tern are indeed creditable and
they should encourage other far
mers' wives in our neighboring
county, as we'll as elsewhere, to
ego and do likewise" or even
better, for it i possible to do
very much better-a tact that
has been recently demonstrated
right here in the vicinity of Ian
caster, although in the case we
have in mind the wife and hus.
band are jointly entitled to the
credit. We refer to Mr.. and Mrs.
Orin G. Blackmon, who live ii
miles from Lancaster. Mr..
Blackmon operates one-horse
farm and during the winter
months, when there is not much
doing in the way of farm work,
he helps his good wife with the
COWS, poultry, etc. She does the
milking, while he churns, feeds
the stock and markets all the
produce made on the farm for
sale. Mr.. Blackmon keeps an
account of everything he sells,
so that he knows exactly what
he is doing and making. Here is
statement of his sales for one
month alone-the month of Jan
uary just gone:

History of Four Per Cent.

A few years ago the banks OF Pittsburg
began paying four per cent interest on
savings. The plan was questioned by
ultra conservative banks throughout the
East at the time; but experience and re-.
suits have fully proven the far seeing
wisdom OF this progressive policy. 1t
not only made Pittsburg banks among
the wealthiest in the world but has been
one OF the greatest factors in developing
and enrichlng the city and its people.
There is today nearly one billion dol
lars in the savings banks OF New York
City. Continued publicity on the sub.
ject of savings by the able management
OF savings institutions has brought this
about Teaching the growing child to
save starts the principle which developes
the independent citizen. The thrifty
citizen is law abiding, sober, industrious
and therefore the main stay of the COM
munity. Those who make it their busi-
ness to teach these principles are doing
the greatest philanthiopic work of this
age, and are shaping the progress and
destiny of the world.
What has been done in Pittsburg and
in other thriving centers OF the East has
been done in Aberdeen by the Chehalis
County Bank. A little less than one
year ago Frank &. Jones opened this in.
stitution and brought four per cent to
Aberdeen-he instituted here the same
modern banking methods enjoyed by the
people OF the largest cities Of the country.
That the people appreciate the advan-
tages made possible by Mr.. Jones, is re.
hected by the unprecedented progress
and rapid increase in the deposits of the
Chehalis County Bank. Its patronage
is from all classes and all ages of people
who are consistently depositing part of
their earnings, showing how widely dis
tributed is the confidence in it's strength,
its resources and in its management.
The officers are: Frank G. Jones,
president; N. Rogan, vice president; o.
+. Johnson, cashier, and H. B. Faunt
lie Roy, assistant cashier. They are
men of high honor, strong financial
standing and wide experience in hand.

1t was one OF those games which raises
the pride OF the bugs to the top notch
and then sinks them to the lowest depths
of despair; it was a game which was
won, then lost, and then won back by
the very hardest kind of playing; it was
the most exciting game played on the
local grounds this season.
The game started off with Spokane at
bat and Hickey twirling for the Cats, In
the first inning McKune went out Hickey
to Strieb, Carney flew out to Strieb,
Rowan got safe one, stole second, Suess
hit foul fly to Stlieb, and of course the
spasm was over. The second opened
with James at the plate, he hit to Ander.
son and died at first, Swain famed, Alt
man hit to Hickey and his fate was
sealed at first. In the third, Bender
struck out. Erickson popped up fly
which Anderson squeezed, McKune hit
one to Fitzgerald and was promptly
thrown out at first. When the fourth
was born Carney walked to the plate and
struck out, Rowan beat out bunt but
was caught off the bag and went out
Hickey to Strieb to Anderson, Suess got
a pass to first but was thrown at second
by Spencer. James made miscalcula-
ton in the fifth and hit to Hickey, who
threw to Streib and Mr.. James went to
the bench. Swain drew pass, stole Sec
ond, Vent to third on Altman's out at
the first bag, Bender walked, attempted
to steal second, the ball was thrown to
Brown, Swain started home on the
throw, Brown over.threw the plate and
the first score was made. The sixth
closed with the Indians going out in one,
two, three order. Suess was first up in
the seventh and got in the way of one of
Hickey's curves and was sent to first, ad.
vanced to second by James hit and scored
on Hickey's bad throw to first when Alt.
man hit to him; Swain, who followed
James, struck out and so did Bender and
Erickson.
Up to this inning Spokane had made
but three safe hits and had scored but
two runs; the eighth was also blank
for them.

second Brown got to first on a safe one
after two we're out and was caught at
second when he tried to purloin that bag.
The batters went in the third and
fourth as fast as they came up. Mahon
opened the fifth with two-bagger, went
to third when Fitzgerald hit slow one
to Rowan who fooled, and scored on
Browns hot one to McKune, Spencer
and Hickey both got safe ones and
Brown scored. Anderson scored in the
sixth on his own safety, wild pitch and
Fitzgerald's bingo. In the eighth Aber.
deem annexed two more runs on Ander-
sons three Dagger, Householder's single,
Mahon's sacrifice and wild throw.
With the score standing i've to two and
only three more Indians to put to sleep
and Jack pitching great ball, the fans
felt pretty comfortable, thank you; but
you know a game is not out until the last
man is out. Suess opened the ninth for
Spokane by cracking out single, James
hit one to Anderson, who tried to make
double, but let the ball get away from
him and both men we're safe, Swain
drew a pass, Altman hit to Hickey, who
tried his best to pick the ball up but
couldn't, and Suess scored, Bender
walked, forcing James in, Erickson got a
single and two men scored. McKune sac.

All this meant five runs for the visitors,
and it also meant that some of the faith.

LINING UP FOR THE
FIGHT IN cocHlsE

According to the Tucson papers the
Hon. NJ. E. Cassidy, Bisbee's post
master, has been on visit to Tucson.
Tn tex-republican boss of Cochise
county took occasion to impress upon
a reporter who saw him at the Santa
Rita hotel that his visit to the Old
Pueblo had no political significance
and then stole away to the rooms of
Colonel w. S. Sturges, republican ma
tional committeeman of Arizona,
where a conference of several hours
was held.
The Citizen, failing to get an inter
view with the gentleman from Bisbee.
exploited the recent organization by
that gentleman of the first Roosevelt
Third Term league in Bisbee. 1t was
said that this league now has a mem
bership' of 200, and that 1t would no
doubt WELD a strong influence in ter
ritorial republican politics next year.
1t is presumed that Cassidy and Col
onel Sturges decided on just how the
convention which will name the dele
gates to the next republican national
convention will be brought under the
control of the Roosevelt wing.
But, whatever the arrangements
were concerning political action next
year, it is evident that things are not
going just as was planned without a
desperate fight in some portions Of
the territory. For instance, here in
Cochise county the Roosevelt league
will find a powerful opposition which
will include the county organization
which is now in the hands Of r. A.
Kirk, who, it is known. followed the
Bisbee postmaster to Tucson or the
next train. Kirk was the man who
Bisbee daily review. [volume] (Bisbee, Ariz.) 1901-1971, 1907-12-14

put Cassidy out of commission last
year as the republican boss; he is
now more determined than ever to
keep Cassidy far in the rear when IL
comes to naming delegates from this
county to the territorial convention
next year.
Locally, in Cochise county, it is
evident that the republican scrap viii
be one of the warmest ever pulled
of in the territory. Both Kirk and
Cassidy have a strong following and
they are already beginning to line
up for the struggle, especially in Bis
bee. and as Bisbee goes, so goes Co:
chise county.
The Kirk faction win have the SUP
port of the Bisbee Miner, while it IS
understood that Bro. Dorr of the Diss
patch will ''cut all the mustard" he
can in helping Cassidy back on the
republican throne.
In the meantime the democrats will
peacefully enjoy the republican wool
pulling, as they will be in perfect har-
mony in support of the candidacy OF
Colonel Bryan for the democratic
nomination for president

wITHpRAws GUARANTEE.

Ell PASO, Dec. 13.-The Southern
Pacific mas notified Jhe contractors
who are at work putting in canals in
the Imperial valley for the California
Development company, that the rod
will not further guarantee the pay
ment of the cost of this work. The
development company is owned by the
s. P, being all taken over by it when
the work of daming the Colorado be-
gan. Since this part of the work has
been completed, a large force of me-
have been at work in the Imperial
valley putting in irrigation ditcnes for
the company.
The withdrawal OF the S. P. from
this work, which is an application OF
the policy of retreuchment that is be-
ing put in force on the system, meas
the withdrawal of the construction
force from the California field and the
temporary suspension of the canal con
structiOn.
The California Development COLI
nany was the one that caused the Col
orado river to leave its banks and go
to the Salton basin, and when the wa
ter began to wash out the S. P. tracks
in the Salton sink, the road took over
all of the stock of the company as Sc
curity for the money II agreed TO
spend on the diversion of the river.
The amount loaned more than Gov
cred the total value of the company's
holdings and the railroad company
took possession of the entire irriga-
don system in the Imperial valley. It
has been operating it since 1907 and
the canal system was a part OF the
improvements the railroad had plan
ned to make in the valley water ser
vice.
