A MILITARY PROGRAM
FOR GEM CITY BAND
Movement Now on Foot to Make II
Regimental Organization.

A popular movement is on foot in
Mesa City to have the Gem City
band made a part of the National
Guard of Arizona, and plans regard
ing this step have been made in con-
nection with the reorganization of
company D. Prominent men here
who have had experience with mill
tary organizations, are now negotiat-
ing with the adjutant general of the
territory of Arizona, for a concession
and the equipment necessary to fit
out such a band.
The Gem City band was organized
here during the latter part of the
past winter, and after laboring under
many difficulties and disadvantages
the members attained much profit
cheney and appeared several times
in public. Shortly after this their
leader left and thus the boys We're
left without any instructions other
than could be obtained from the
members of the organization who
were farther advanced in must
cal talent. Under these conditions,
the members succeeded in holding to-
gether until during the month of
May. when they finally succeeded in
securing the services of Professor
Fred Alden of Phoenix. Under his
proficient leadership the boys have
advanced with rapid strides and now
there is no question regarding the
success of this musical body.
The work of practicing and train
ing has been kept up diligently, and
,,fr
devoted to practice, at which times
their leader makes the trip from the
Capital city here and directs them
For about six weeks past the boys
have been giving Saturday evening
concerts in the band stand on Main
street across from the pOstoffice
building, and these have proven quite
popular. and are always attended by
large and enthusiastic crowds. The
folks from the surrounding districts
drive in and enjoy the event, as well
as the residents here.
There are now twenty three ac-
tive members, besides there are sew
eral others who expect to enter when
they become more proficient
The band has received the hearty
cooperation of the merchants and
business men here, as well as from
the city council and the Mesa Cham
Der of Commerce. Several new in
struments have already been pur-
chased by the members, and consid-
cradle music has been added to that
which was on hand. 1t is hoped
that the military organization of the
band can be perfected, as such a
movement in connection with the
formation of the new militia COM
pany would greatly facilitate the
maintenance of the band.

Mrs. William r. Chamberln, Of No. 3

Mrs. Chamherlin had picked up the bot

shaking up the contents or some other

shattered into fragments and the bits
OF flying glass tore Mrs. Chamberlin's s
face and hands. causing many small
wounds from which blood flowed.
II was apparent that her heavy glasses
had saved her sight, for the fragments OF
glass struck her spectacles with such
force as to chip pieces from them, but
fortunately her eyes were not cut. Mrs

Wood ProductIou ,n Ce-n,a,

Among all the kiations of the world Germany receives the credit of being the most thoroughly scientific. She does with her limited natural re sources what younger nations will soon be compelled to do in self-protection: she conserves them.
 When our wood supplies. stored up from 100 to 500 years. are within sight of their end, and sawmills that have been moved from the white pine belt of the North ito the yellow pine belt of the south have been moved to the Pacific Coast for their last stand. then Germanys scientific forestry policy will receive better recognition.
 We do not think of moving a grist mill about from one wheat field to another, as the fields in turn become exhausted. After one crop is harvested another is coming on. So it must be with the sawmill and the crop of trees If 1t takes fifty years to raise a tree of a given species. then one-fiftieth of the forest may be cut each year, provided 1t reseeds or is replants- an dthe .sawmill stays at the same place and the workmen live in their permanent snug homes nearby; the Humber shanty" will be thing of the past; raising trees a business like rais- ing wheat.

Men Going Back from the Ctay to the
 Country.
 PlttsDurg Post.
 About twenty years or so ago. and for a number of years following. there was a marked exodus of young men and boys from the country to the city. The rural youth found there were many things he could turn his hand to in the city that meant to him ready money. So the farm was deserted for metropol- itan allurements. The reaction has set in. and now there Is generous return to bucollic life. The man who has spent a score or more of years in city and has amassed a competence finds himself yearning for communion with country scenes. When this exo- dus from the farm began. students of politico- economic subjects racked their brains for a logical deduction as to the probable result. Time has brought the solution. The cities were, In the main, builded by men who were born in the countrywide began life on the farm or in the crossroads grocery. These, particularly, are the men who are now going back to the farm. Not for the purpose of farming themselves. but to have a country home. away from the din and dirt of the city. The electric railway. the development and exten- slon of the telephone service. the ru- ral free delivery and other things that have convenienced living away from the business centers are responsible The return of the city man to the country has enhanced the price of farm property and materially added to the tax duplicate. Back to the soil! It's a good old slogan.

POOLING A RArTLEn.

Some queer things happen in this world when we aren't looking for them. Here. now, comes a story of a mixup between two Philadelphia girls. a rat tlesnaxe and wad of chewing gum that shows how presence of mind Is sometimes as good as absence of body. It seems that these two girls were out at rural resort and while stroll Iing in the woods came unexpectedly on a dangerous looking rattler. Did they scream. faint or take to their heels7 Not bit of it. though ope or the other is what the average girl would have done under the circum- stances.
 But these two were not average girls, so they acted differently. one of them got hold of a long stick. att tached her liberal quid of gum to 1t and held the tempting bait in front of the rattIer. Just what kind of psychic influence governed the snakes actions we are not able to say. whether it thought the gum was an enemy whether 1t thought chew from the mouth of pretty girl must be dainty morsels or whether 1t act ed through the inherent cussedness of snakes. we cannot say, but at any rate 1t made vicious forward lunge and took the wad in its mouth. That's where it made its mfstakei dropped no. 1t didn't drop it's gum: that was just waht 1t found itself unable to do. When 1t took the morsel In It's mouth the jaws closed on it and the perfectly natural result was that it's fangs and other teeth were soon hope- Iessiy embedded in the soft morsei. and its throat choked with it. While 1t was going through all sorts of con- tortions and cutting all sorts of didoes the girls very deliberately walked of and left 1t. probably thinking it was being punished enough.
 Now, who but a feminine gum chew er-and from Philadelphia at that would ever have thought of such plan of scotching a deaGly rattler? Some women might have been brave enough to tackle the reptile with a club. but we doubt if any but these two would ever have thought of ill., ing hts mouth with sticky gum and leaving him to get rid of it the best way he could. If he succeeded and recovered the chances are that next time he sees girl he will either hike for the brush or keep his mouth closed

MONDAY, AUGUST 10. 1908.

General Luke Wright meelly ob- serves that whatever the President does Is right" There were some hopes expressed that when an ex-confederate soldier went Into the Cabinet he would have backbone enough to claim some portion of his own soul. but the hope was vain. He seems to have left his manhood behind when he took service under Roosevelt. Our principal regret is that he ever wore the Confederate uniform. A man who win thus plainly subscribe to the doctrine that "the king can do no wrong" is no credit to the gray of the confederacy. Let us hope that no other of that glorious army will follow his example.
