Why Corn Pops.

When the grains of maize or In.
dian corn are gently roasted they
burst with a pop and turn inside
out. They are then known as pop
corn. This popping is due to the
evaporation of the oil contained in
the kernel. Ordinary wheat does
not pop so readily because the outer
portion of the kernel is more porous
and thus permits the escape Of the
oil as it eyaporates. In the case OF
popcorn a great pressure is de7el-
oped in the kernel by the confined
oil, which is present in greater guam
tity, so that the kernel is suddenly
exploded and reversed.

The FOURTH CELEBRATION
ADVERTISING SHELTER CITY

DOUGLAS, June 20.-(Special.) y
The advertising which Douglas is
letting out of the Fourth Of July this
year is far greater than at first ex-
pected. In the first place the envelopes
which nearly every business house in
Douglas had printed advertising the
big celebration have gone to all parts
OF the United States and from replies
received by different business houses
it would indicate that they are doing
the business. Again the big posters
which the 4th Of July committee got
out have gone far and wide. Hundreds
of them have gone far beyond the
bounds of Arizona Secretary Gerhart
states that every day several people
come into his office and ask for one
or two of the posters to send some
friends whom are interested in Doug
las. The posters themselves are GER
tainly good advertisement for Doug
las, IN that they show what kind OF
people live in Douglas Robert Martin
who took these posters out on the
road and posted them all over Bisbee,
Tombstone, Naco, Cananea and Mac
ozari also states that every few min
utes during the time he was gone, diff
ferent people came to him and asked
for one of the bills to send home or
to some friend.
Again the Elks are out this week
distributing their advertising matter
all over the country. This really
makes three advertisement which
Douglas has gotten out of the big
celebration and beneficial results may
be expected to follow. About three
hundred of these bills have been mall
ed to all points along the E. P. & s. w.
and Rock Island railroads where PEG
pie would be interested in Douglas and
Arizona. Mony of these bills have
gone to California. Posters have been
sent to all Of the chambers of COM
merce in the southwest. Secretary
Gerhart still has a couple of hundred
of these bills in his Office and would
be glad to mail them to people interest
ed in Douglas and asks that any one
having friends interested in Doug
las can have one Of these bills by call
ing on him.
In this connection Secretary Ger
hart also states that he has about so
copies of 1.-THE Call of the Desert" a
beautiful magazine published at Phoe-
nix which he will send out to people
thinking of locating in the southwest
If the people of Douglas will call at
his Office and hand him the names.
The June number of 1.-THE Call OF the
Desert" mas a fine article on Douglas
and its future prospects and is a gooG
descriptive article on Douglas. This
magazine is very good one and each
issue of the magazine will nave an
article regarding Douglas.
In order to get up good live list
of people, to whom ad 5ertising would
be sent regarding Douglas, everyone
living in Douglas should make 1t his
business to call at the chamber OF
commerce aud hand in list of names.
If the Douglas people would do this
and not hand in the names where the
advertising would do no good. fine
list of names could be secured and
the advertising which will be sent
from time to time will do a great
amount OF good.

soft drinks they will not object to be- ing seen. If they drink anything else the party selling 1t ought to be seen.''
 Mayor Blackwell took the lead in the prohibition fight in this county last fall, he being chairman of the county campaign committee for prohibition. The county went for prohibition by a majority of about five to one. Prohibition went into effect in the Decaturs and in the entire county on January 1 last.
 The New Decatur Advertiser, in a re- cent issues charges that the prohibition laws are being openly violated in New Decatur. Drunken men are often seen on bitionists in New Decature are now con- demning the prohibition laws, and one man who favored prohibition said that he had come to the conclusion that dispen- sary was the thing.
 Since prohibition went into effect the salary of the mayor of New Decatur has been reduced from 5000 to $500 year. A new mayor and board of aldermen are to be elected on September 21, and as yet no one has announced for the office of mayor and 1t seems now that no one wants the job at $50 month. Mayor Blackwell has not said whether he wants the job again at this price or not.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-08-24

Decatur, August 23.-(Special)-In a signed public statement just given out. Mayor Samuel Blackwell of New Decatur virtually admits that prohibition in New Decatur is a farce and failure. He doesn't say it is failure in so many words but he admits that the present laws need 'perfecting."
 There are now in the hands of the po- lice committee of the city council of New Decatur three prohibition ordinances . One of these ordinances prohibits the stor- ing of intoxicating liquors in public places another ordinance requires the removal of all Instructions in places where malt ale," "beerine." etc., are sold, and the other ordinance requires these places where "maltale,' etc., are sold to keep closed on Sundays. Mayor Blackwell says he 'favors the immediate passage of these ordinances
 In speaking of the anti-storing ordinance he says: "The passage of this ordinance is absolutely necessary for the proper en- forcement of the prohibition law. The authors of the prohibition law passed at the extra session of the legislature last November did not do all that was neces- sary to its enforcement; while 1t pro- hibits the sale of intoxicants, 1t did not throw all of the restraints around the law to prevent it's being violated or to secure it's enforcement. To allow any one deal ing in soft drinks or merchandise of any character to store or deposit intoxicants in their places of business, and make it 1Asro tn lraa s,,fn irar, ,te tr,t as it would be to store your winter blank cts in their house, is to simply invite men who are willing to violate law to make money to violate it. Of course, it says they shall not sell 1t, give 1t away or otherwise dispose of it. But you can see at glance if there are those who love money well enough to violate law in or der to get it, that the arrangement this law allows, furnishes the opportunity. The law was passed hurriedly and like many new and important laws it is imperfect in it's manner of execution, and in the safe guard thrown around 1t to prevent or make hard it's violation.
 Some good friends of temperance seem to think because this law is not immedi- ately susceptible of perfect execution that prohibition Is failure. or that po- lice officers are derelict in the discharge of their duties. Neither is necessarily true In all far-reaching laws it requires time to show its defects, and to provide remedies to cure defects.
 1.-The anti-storing ordinance above re- ferred to- in my judgment. will go long way toward curing the defect in the pres- ent prohibition law as applied to New De- catur. I advocated the immediate passage of this ordinance the night it was intro- duced. I trust 1t will be passed at the next meeting of the board. Let us perfect the law as much as possible and give 1t fair chance before condemning it.
 q think the ordinance closing soft drink stands on Sundays which sell maltale and other beverages that contain alcohol in any quantity should pass. Also the one removing screens, shades. blinds or any thing that prevents an unobstructed view of the premises. should be passed. If pa- irons of these places drink nothing but

Damaued by Fire.

Ire jewelry firm of Cousins-Carrell Jew elery company and The Hat Box, both occupying the same store on Nineteenth street, between Second and Third avenue, were visited by fire this morning, and had it not been for the efficient work on the part of the fire department, one of Bes- semer's principal blocks might have been reduced to ashes.
 At 3 o'clock this morning the night clerk of the Grand hotel noticed a blaze in the store, which Is directly across the street He immediately turned in an alarm by phone The department arrived, and, breaking the glass out of the front door, they soon put the flames out.
 The department returned to the station. but about two hours later flames broke out afresh, and they had to make a second trip to the same place.
 It is not known just how the fire orig mated. The Hat Box stock is damaged more than the jewelry stock, but 1t is thought that the losses of both concerns are fully covered by insurance.
