The board were in hopes that they would be able to get the rate down be low the s2 mark, but found that to do so might place some of the funds short, and that it was the safer plan to leave 1t at the $2 mark. In estimating what the rate would be this year it was not taken into consideration that of the $47 1000 outstanding in county bonds will have to be paid. while all but S500e of them become due next year, while in the year. the remainder will be paid off and Cochise county be clear of any bonded debt as far as the county is concerned. Another matter that kept the rate from being lowered below the S2 is the increasing expenses of the county, especially that of the

TWAS THE GREATEST
 GAME EVER PLAYED

DOUGLAS. Aug. 2O.-(SpeciaD-
 It was the greatest game eve. played. Even the Elks' manager satQ So this morning after he got through declaring that the Elks went to piecea only once and that was in the second inning and that even if they were plainly outclassed-and he admitted they were-they were worthy the steel of even a stronger foe. The Douglas championship now rests with the Chiricahuas, the score yesterday standing II to 4 against the Elks.
 It must be admitted that except in the second inning the Elks played a fairly good game. From the moment Cook went in the box the whole game increased in interest. The Elks made but one run afterward.
 Next Sunday the Elks will play the Fort Huachuca team and the week after that the team from Bisbee. On Labor Day the Elks will play two games with the Eagles in this city.
 Following is the official score of yes, tpr6ay'c pama.

concern, but the different views held
by father and son on almost every sub
ject soon led to stormy scenes that
made the continuation of the arrange

was we'll aware of these unfortunate
Independent tendencies in John Ry-

union with his daughter, he quite real
lied that the young man was nut

hard to crack.
Hello, senator, you're always on

Disturbed in his reflections, Senator
Roberts looked up and saw the ex-
tended hand of a red-faced corpulent
man, one of the directors. He was no
favorite with the senator. but the lat
ter was too keen man of the world
to make enemies uselessly, so he con-
descended to place two fingers in the
outstretched fat PALM

Mr.. Grimsby's red face grew more
apoplectic as he blurted out:

What is public opinion, anyhow? This

virtuous cutbursts that wasn't. First
the newspapers bark ferociously to adj

around and whine like cur. And it
usually costs something to fix mat

The senator smiled grimly.
mo, no, Grimsby-not this time. It's
more serious than that. Hitherto the
road has been unusually lucky in it's
bench decisions"
The senator gave covert glance
round to see If any long ears were
listening. Then he added:

Grimsby made wry grimace as he

HARMONY SOCIETY
coMMUNisTlc SETTLEMENT OF PENNSYLVANIA TO DlSBAND.
Interesting Life of Over a Century Which Has Been Enjoyed by the Community Founded
 by Rapp.

There is now being enacted in the courts of Pennsylvania the closing chapters in the history of the old Economy religious communistic set. clement, which has maintained an ex. istence for over century, but which is now more than likely to escheat to the state owing to litigation which has arisen.
 The story of the Harmony society, or Economies, as they have been called, is an interesting one. Its found CT was man named Rapp who came to this country early last century. It was in 17S7 that he began forming the nucleus of what afterward be- came the social community he estab- lished. Born and raised in Iptingen. Wurtemberg, he began to preach to his neighbors and friends on Sunday afternoons, believing as he did that the churches were not fulfilling their mission. So large did his Sunday audiences become that the clergy re- sented Rapp's intrusion. The found CT and his adherents were arrested, and, naturally, immediately they in creased in numbers.
 Rapp taught his little band to obey the laws, to be peaceable and quiet subjects, and to pay the church tax as well as the state tax, but he in. sisted on the right to choose his own religious belief. The yearning for a land where liberty of conscience was admitted to be universal right led the father of the Harmonists to blaze the way to the United States. He did not do so immediately; not, in fact, until 15 years later. In the meantime Rapp succeeded in accommodating a little property.
 Then, in 1903, he turned his face to the new world. The next year 600 persons followed him to this country, half of them landing in Baltimore and the second party going to Philadel- phia. There was third party of about 300, but they listened to the pleadings of one of Rapp's lieutenants and deserted the founder, forming community by themselves in another part of the country.
 Before bringing the party to Amer lea Rapp had bought tract of 5000 acres about 25 miles north of Pitts burg in the Connoquessing valley. To this wild land only recently vacated by the red man the party came, and on February 15, 1895, formed among themselves the Harmony society, agreeing to throw all they owned into one common fund for the use of all. In those days the doctrine of celibacy was not in their article of faith. Rapp himself was married, and his son, John Rapp, took a wife about this time.
 Ten years spent in the Connoquess- ing valley convinced the Harmonites

 ther Rapp in 1892.

that it was unsuited to their purposes. Consequently. in 1915, they sold the land for slo0,000. and with this money purchased S0,000 acres in Posey coun- ty, Indiana. There the town of liar. mony was erected. About 150 families from Germany there joined the asso- citation. In 1924 the Rappists were again looking for new quarters. and the following year returned to Penn- sylvania, the tract at Economy. on the Ohio river. about 17 miles north of Pittsburg. having been purchased. At Economy the new community appear cd to flourish. The town was built by mechanics found among the so- ciety's members. and Frederick Rapp. a son of the founder. was the hand that guided this enterprise.
 At Economy the society had scarce ly had time to settle itself in it's new home when schism shook it, but while it did not wreck the association it made a serious split in the so- ciety.
 After this experience a new clause in the articles of association was add ed b. Rapp. who had counsel of the best lawyers he could find in Pitts burg and Beaver. which declared the property of the society to be indivis- ible- This was in 1886, the original articles having been adopted in 1905. Frequently they were revised in the time of the founder. and in 1s07 the doctrine of ceIibacy was inserted.
 Rapp died at the age of 90. in 1s47. During the life of the founder most of the theological tenets of the liar monists were formed. They have some features of German mysticism grafted upon a practical application of the Christian doctrine and theory. They taught that Adams fall was due to the desire of companion, hencs the doctrine of eelitacy.

There is no doubt that the thought. full child of today would have been the much-punished child of the past. says the London Chronicle. At the same time the witty child does add to the gayety of life. besides enforcing a higher standard of conversation among her reproving elders. It was a mis- take. for instance. on the part of the reproving elder to tell one of these wits of the nursery that if she was SO naughty she would not go to heaven. The little culprit seemed impressed for brief moment and then she gave resigned sigh. "Oh. well.' she re- marked. I've been to two theaters and a party and a circus. can't ex- pect to go everywhere"
