have prompt attention, but the work
needed In the garden is that which he
should least neglect His living depends
on 1t, at least he ought to think so. and
act on that belief. II is certain that
there is no other part Of his entire
work so important to the health and
comfort Of his family and himself, and
the actual saving OF expenses which a
bounteous garden insures is a feature
which alone warrants him in making n
good garden, no matter what other
work many cause him to defer. II "a
presumed that he has by this time Of
year made all necessary preparations
for supply OF fruit for family use
during the entire summer. and much OF
the provision for supply Of staple
vegetables should be completed. but
there is time for much more. and II

the more prepotent they become. and
the more certain that the offspring |

utility.
The same is, Of course, true Of all |
live stock The only certain method
OF raising the average standard Of ex-

desire such a meeting should neglect to request the chairman to call it and in view of the positive statement of MT. Haggott that he had been oppres- sed by such requests, Chairman Ten ney was called up again last night In the course of the later interview with him he said: ''I have received no re- quest at any time from any member of the republican territorial committee for meeting to take action on the Arizona delegation to the national con- vention O. for an- other purpose"
 The action of the meeting in which there is the greatest concern was the attempt to fill vacancies As to the resolutions. nobody feels any interest in them but the filling of these vacan- cies at this time and in this manner is likely to lead to a serious conflict He said that he could not say though in his previous interview he had stated that he was certain that the call was illegal.
 Committee vacancies have never be- fore been filled in this territory in this manner, in a meeting of less than a dozen members, called by a vice chairman Ga new office by the way) who IS not a resident of the territory and held at no appointed place.

 As to the representation of repub- lican sentiment in the meeting, a Va vapai man last night said, q am sure that not a dozen men in all Yavapai county are in sympathy with the ac- tion of the committee today"
 The first thing was the appointment of a committee on credentials consist ing of Messrs. Bird Cleaveland and Donkersley. In the course of the pro- ceedings it was discovered that there were seven vacancies in in the committee and were filled Nothing was done about

They were declared to be the right fully and lawfully elected" ones The first resolution applies only to the first two delegates and alternates and af- ter that there was similar resolution as to the four provisional delegates. The resolutions close with a prayer addressed to the republican national committee for favorable action with respect to the rumo delegates.

 After the meeting was over, Vive- Chairman Haggott gave out an inter- view in which he said that he had call ed the meeting over the head of the chairman with great reluctance, but that in doing so he had yielded to nu- merous and insistent requests for the meeting. MT. HaggOtt said that he believed in doing so. he had consulted the good of the party and had taken , measures to preserve party discipline and unity. These requests from mem bers Of the committee he said, could not be turned down.
 In an interview by telephone on the night of the announcement of the call, Chairman Penney said to The Repub- lican that he had received no request for such a meeting from any member of the comimttee or from any one else except Hoval A.
