STAGE TEMPTATIONS VS.
THOSE OF SHOP AND OFFICE

"There are more temptations and
greater dangers for a girl in a COM
merclal Office than there are for her
on the STAGE said the actress, Rose
Stahl.
"If girl came to me for my advice
as TO which vocation she should take
up for a livelihood, l should by all
means advise her TO 20 on the stage.
There isn't half the danger for a girl
on the stage that there is in the office,
the girl VITO works in an Office is
thrown in close personal relations
with one man, whereas the girl on the
stage sees men 10 the distance and
in lunches"
But after all" says Miss Stahl.
Temptation is simply matter OF
ores own personality, and the very
best advice can give is to keep firm
grip on home and mother"
Miss Stahl, it seems. has the
correct ideal, but she doesn't
grasp the commercial situation
fully. The business Office may
contribute largely to the down fall
of girls, but the department stores
in our large cities that have come
under our personal observation. are
more demeralizing than all the other
influences combined. In most cases
the help is recruited from the coun-
try, Girls whose quiet home life
offered little social variety are lured
by the glitter and gaiety of the city.
The easiest avenue Of employment
open TO them is the department store
with its small salaries, long hours,
and nerve racking exactions. Nine
times out of ten the wage Is barely
sufficient to keep soul and body TO-
gether, and much less to provide
decent clothes on ones back, while
the few little luxuries which young
and attractive girl naturally Graves
are out of tie question. Is it any
wonder then, when the tempter in
the form Of an attractive man comes
long and offers such a girl those lux
aries which are denied and which
should be ones natural heritage, tina,
such lure would be too strong to be
resisted? Perhaps the craving for
good things to eat and to wear might
at the outset, be thrust aside by the
promptings Of prim virtue, but in
time when the caprices OF an exactinp
manager and the Shrewish moods OF
captious customers become intoler
able, then the hapless shop girl might
be prevailed upon to take few hours
out Of her life of grim drudyery and
then-forget-if she could.
There is nothing quite 80 cruel a!
duty to a young, proud and sensitive
girl, especially when in its pursuit the
mere necessities of life are obtained
thereby, and it is sad commentary
of the times when we see the rounC
contour of damaSk cheeks grow pale
and wan under the goad of relentless
sweat shop, and the dnquailing eye Of
conscious virtue give place to the boc
gaze Of the wanton.

A word to you sOnny-you little
twelve or thirteen-year-old boy who is
smoking cigarette on the sly. What
do you want to be when you grow up
IA stalwart, healthy, vigorous, broad
shouldered man, or a little puny,
measly, no count weakminded dude?
Ii you want to be man, strong like
a man, with hair on your face, brains
in your head and muscles in your
limbs, you just let those cigarettes
alone. II you want to be q thing,
pisied by folks, despised by the girls
and held In contempt by the fellows,
keep right on smoking and end your
days in the insane asylum.

PRESIDENTIAL TEDDY BEARS

Two little bears essayed one day
Before the world to make play.
One little bear was Billy B.
The other bear was Billy T.
Said Billy T to Billy B:
Let's travel round, let people see,
And they shall choose twixt you and
Which Billy bear it is to be-
Said Billy Bits plain to me
The trouble now with Billy T
1t that he really cannot see
That people all want Billy b.
Said Billy T to Billy B:
81 represent the G.. o. P.
Which means, If anything, to me
The people all want Billy T."
Said Billy B to Billy T:
"The common folks are all with
They like me we'll! They like my
mule
Ny slogan is, Let the people
ruleH"
SAID Billy T to Billy b:
''Your catchy slogan seems to me
Mere idle words, not worth q
Thought,
And it will surely come to naught, ,
Said Billy B to Billy 7:
Dear Billie; just remember.
The plum is mine, as you will see
On the sixth day of November -
The Billy bears scanned hard the
map.
Each squared off for a friendly
scrap
AS good bears do in family jars
One went fishing; one took the
cars

week, at which steps will be taken to
get as many as possible to attend
from the Smelter City, and TO go in
such a manner that Cochise county

Arrangements have already been made

SMITH WILL HAVE 4
BIG COCHISE SUPPORT
County viii Break All Records
This Year in the Size of
His Majority.

B. A. Packard, the pioneer Arizo-
nan and leading Democratic politi-
clan, OF Douglas, was IN a very opti-
mistic frame of mind politically at
Benson the other night and declared
that there is no question of Mark
Smith carrying Cochise by a large ma
iority. The only matter open to dis
pute. he said, was the size that the
delegate would receive. He said that
he considered it a conservative esti-
mate to say that Smith would lead
any Republican WAC might be named,
by more than a thousand votes at
the polls. This means that a consid-
cradle number of Cochise county Re-
publicans are sure to vote for the
Democratic nominee, as the county
has normally about 700 Democratic
majority.
A leading Democrat thoroughly ia
miliar witt the situation down there
said yesterday: There is no doubt
about Smith having better than
thousand lead in Cochise. For the
first time in many years, the Demo
Gratis are united and harmonious and
we are going to take the county tick
ct through this year without the loss
of man. The fractional troubles
among the Republicans have cost
them some votes and the great mu-
