Pearl Wedding.

The publisher of the Journal and his
wife had the pleasure of being among
the guests at the Pearl Wedding of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. r. Walker of Baldwin
on the evening of December fifth, this
being the thirtieth anniversary of the
marriage of Miss tannie Rose to Mr..
j. r. Walker.
From four O'Clock in the afternoon
until late at night the happy couple
assembled to extend their best wishes.
Mr.. and Mrs Walker were assisted
in receiving the guests by their daugh-
ter, Miss Vivian Walker, Miss Willie
Tyson, Mrs. E. d. Matthews and Mis-
ses Mamie and Laurie Walker.
Punch was served in the hall. In
the parlor the guests were entertained
with piano selections dy several of the
young ladies.
An elaborate menu was served in
the dining room where the long table
was draped in snowy linen and shining
with cut glass and silver. A center
piece of ferns was used. A feature of
the entertainment was the cutting of
the brides cake.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walker were the recip-
tents of large number of handsome
and beautiful gifts, attesting their
popularity among wide circle of
friends. Time has dealt lightly with
this bride and groom of thirty years
ago, into whose lives more of sunshine
than of shadows have fallen, and as
they journey through the coming years
through their hearts will echo this
sweet sentiment of the immortal Burns.
John Anderson my Jo John,
When we were first acquent,
Your locks were like the raven, John
Your bonnie brow was brent,
But now your brow is bald, John,
Your locks are like the snow:
But blessings on your frosty pow,
John Anderson my 10.
John Anderson my 10, John,
We clamb the hill thegither,
And mony canty day, John,
We've had wi ane anither;
Now we maun totter down, John,
But hand in hand we'll go,
And sleep tegither at the foot,
John Anderson my 10.

Eb. Scowenhoven. The Yankee Farmer.

Eb. Scowenhoven. The Yankee Farmer.
If a person were afflicted with the
rheumatism, gout and neuralgia, they
would have to forget their pains and
laugh at this character. AS soon as
'.Eb" makes his appearance. he tells
the audience that he has lost his cow,
has been kicked by mule and few
other misfortunes that have happened
to him. After awhile he sees the piano,
and has something to say about it. No
one being present to play it, he decides
to play it himself; so, after singing
comic song, he amuses himself by play
ing Turkey in the Straw" in rag
time. The playing of this tune has
such an effect on him that he cannot
resist the temptation to dance, although
he weighs nearly 800 pounds. While
dancing, his legs begin to get short; the
audience notice this and begin fo laugh;
the lnger ne dances the shorter his legs
become, anu the shorter his legs be-
come the louder the audience laugh. and
as his legs are becoming shorter every
minute the laughter grows louder, and
finally, when his legs become so short
that they disappear altogether. then
the laughter turns to howling, and
when the audiance are all bowling to-
gether they make such noise that
sometimes they can be heard outside of
the theatre for quarter of mile.

Opera House for one night on Saturday

HELPLEssNEss OF IDLE LABOR.

Recently at Elizabeth, N. J., the Standard Oil town, seven hundred Poles, men, women and children, eamped about the oil works. Almost an equal number of Italians followed. They came from considerable distances and all clamored fo. work.
 Instead of getting this they were driven away by the sheriff s posse. No one was to blame for this. There was no work to give them and they were menace to the property. The fault was with our industrial system, which collects our labor in the mass and then
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1908-04-24

turns it helpless, homeless and unpro- vided to wander and to starve.
 Somewhere in this country there should be and must be work at all times for all who legitimately belong hero, for all who have been brought here and have helped to build up our national wealth. Even today the farms every. where want workmen, but they have no means to get them, and the idle have no means of finding the employment waiting for them.
 Speaking of this incident, the New York Tribune says: "Are these hapless toilers incurably stupid that they be- have thusl Or have they an unspeak- able bathing for farm worki Neither explanation fits. They are acting con. sistently with their knowledge of the American scheme of labor distribution.
 "Thoy arc well acquainted with the employment agents of fifty or more large corporations, who always seek them out when wanted and pay them fairly we'll as long as their job last. How willing laborer speaking little or no English can fud work anywhere else save in the factories and shops of these few great concerns the Poles and Ital. ians do not know.
 "No solieitous agent guides them to the farmer, the rural highway commis- sioner or the village livcryman. And so, with the instinct of traveller in a strange land, the unfortunate creatures flock to the familiar buildings and of. fees of the oil companies, the railroad, the steel corporations and all the oth- CTS which take pains 10 secure workers in thorough, rational manner.
 "As long as small employers continue to seek help in their present haphazard style the idle will eongregate at the great eenters of industry and popula. tion, whore they have always found work without effort in the past. Now that their old friends, the corporation agents, have momcntarily ceased beck. onins to them, public policy demands a wider sehome of labor distribution, less dependent for its efficiency upon tho luctuating needs of a few huge in- [ stitutions.
 All of which points to the need of state employment bureaus working in harmony and with sufficient funds to supply their several needs. Or better far, national bureau of labor distri- button which would gather from the cities and distribute throughout the country the labor hooded on the farms and in the smaller communities. This much certainly we owe to labor; this much We owe to the unfortunate who through no fault of theirs are helpless in the midst of plenty.

rL PASO, April 23.-(Dy F. c. Car.
 pentcr, Special Correspondent.)--
 That this city is on the eve of a great realty movement is conceded by its most conservative citizens in all lines of business. That city should expert encc real estate revival just prior to presidential election. is somewhat of n phenomena, but the fact remains that this metropolis has never been so lively in many years.
 In casting around for Q reason for tho increased activity, tho first and fore most one presenting itself is the con struction of the great government work, "Thc Elephant Butte Dam," now be- ing actively pushed to completion, cost. ing some eight million dollars, which will place some two hundred and fifty thousand acres in this immediate viein. ity under cultivation.
 Three other great centers in the Mid. dlc Wcst--Dcnver, Salt Lake and Spo. kane, all received an impetus in the last few years, from the fact that they were eentered in districts possessing varied resources, but it remained for Fl Paso, owing to her strategic position, to show a moro remarkable growth than any of the above named places. lt is openly conceded by eminent travellers and business men that inside of ten years Fl Paso will far exceed in popu. lation and wealth Spokane, Denver or Salt Lake City. The business district is rapidly building up, with substantial and permanent buildings and the resi- dence district, especially in tho north eastern portion around Military Heights which is blessed by two electric car lines and purc mesa water, is progress ing 50 rapidly, that in less than five years time the bulk of the eity's pop ulation should be contered here.
