Hozv Wwe 4 Made M Hungutv
By BEN S. GROSS.

The first day of October, or "The liar vest of the Wine," is eagerly awaited by every Hungarian. This is a day of work feast and enjoyment. No matter how poverty-stricken. every man in Hungary owns, if not a vineyard, garden full of the delicious fruit, the grape. There fore, it is not surprising to see this day so full of joy
 Early In the pleasant frosty morning from the surrounding farms and villages the peasant men, women and children come in long carts to the vineyards. They arrive usually about ? o clock in the morning and await the overseers, who distr4oute. cabbage soup and corn among them.
 Soon the signal is given and the work begins. Every one labors now more swiftly, for it is believed that grapes picked before sunrise make the best wine.
 The women and children are furnished with scissors and hooked knives with which they detach the fruit from the vine and throw in the baskets. All un- ripe and decayed grapes are placed in waste baskets so as not to infect the others. The baskets are loaded by the men into carts, which are carried to the press mousse.
 All the day long there is a hustle and hustle. carts may be seen going to and fro, while from the roads come the sounds of rambling wheels, bringing bas kets to the press house. These numer- ous carts, the men, women and children working so diligently, appear to be ss many ants, from the distant slopes
 At the press house the grapes are again assorted, and placed in the pres sing tub.
 Here and there oversees ride back and forth, giving orders to inferior officers, who in turn give commands to the la borers Tif fact this system, compared with an army in the field, is very simi- lar. This work continues until noon, when a slight lunch is enjoyed under the shade of the overhanging vines.
 Everything is ready now for the pres sing of the grapes. It may be well to mention that in the largest part of Hun gary the old method is still in use There are one or more tremendous tubs in which the grapes are placed. Mum bers of men with rubber sox on their feet ascend into the tubs and begin to jump on the grapes. Sometimes if the owner of the vineyard wishes the work 10 be more thoroughly done, he'll en-

gage some musicians to play, while the men dance joyously on the grapes.
 Of course the wine that is first pressed out is the best and grades of the others are established by the order of their pressing.
 The new wine called must is con- ducted through glass-lined pipes into vats. Here the wine remains until fer mentation sets in, after which it is re- placed in the casks.
 Again the press is filled and again it is emptied. This way the work continues until nightfall After supper the band begins to play and there Is a dance and a feast, in which the reader may be sure, wine plays an important part. Soon the peasants are homeward bound and bid farewell until the next harvest of the wine.

IN. (. A. INSPECTION
 COMPANIES A. AND f.
Captain Jenkins Will Be Here Tomor-
 row-National Guard Expansion.

Captain Jenkins of the Firth cavalry. stationed at Fort Huachuea, now on a tour of the territory for the inspec- tion of the national guard. win Inspect company F. of Prescott tonight and company A of Phoenix tomorrow night. When Captain Jenkins was here last week he had no orders for the inspection of these companies, as both are newly formed organizations and were only mustered in about the time the captain was sent upon his mission. Colonel Coggins, the adjutant general of the territory, got into com munication with the war department after which supplementary instruc- tions were issued to Captain Jenkins to inspect them. The reason for it is this. The national guard is now quite closely related to the regular estab liShment. the national government equpping the troops and making a certain allowance for this expense each year. This allowance is made up from the report of the inspecting officer on the companies he visits. Companies A and F. not being officially known in Washington yet. he was not or
 
 not do so the Arizona allowance the coming year would be short that much. It was therefore the desire of all con- cerned that this inspection should be made.
 Another reason for urgent action was that the war department very much desires to not only keep the present militia up tO a high state of efficiency. but 1t desires to have it recruited to a twelve company regi- ment. There are now seven compa- nies of infantry and the cavalry com pany which Is attached to the same regiment. There Is opportunity there fore for the recruiting of five more companies in the present regiment and Colonel Coggins says he has no doubt that in the larger towns of the ter ritory now without a company, five companies may be easily raised. But 1t takes money to equip a company. probably $50 a man when arms and all accessories as well as uniforms are taken into consideration, and this is the chief embarrassment in the work of expansion.
 Colonel Coggins is in correspond ence with the war office and says he believes if the government will furnish this equipment he will be able to fur

THE YAVAPAI DELEGATES PASSED THROUGH TOWN
They Spent Some Little Time Looking
 Into the Maricopa Quarrel.

The Yavapai delegation to the re- publican territorial convention at Tue son passed through the city yester- day The advance guard composed of LeROy Anderson and Paul Burks ar rived on the morning train from the north. Hon. Robert E. Morrison, the chairman of the delegation, accompa- nied by c. T. Joslin. J. J. Reddick. George w. Hance, Col. A. J. Doran and Daniel F.. Parks, came in in the afternoon.
 Beside these the other members of the delegation are John M. Ross. A. W. Edwards, G. A. Bray l.. K. Dennison. J. w. Smith, H. c. Heffleman. J. N. Piper. G P Harrington. J. s. Forest. F. C. Brecht, w. c. Atkinson, C. F. Hughes. Frank Lecklider, T. F. Camp bell. T. H. OXnam jr.. and J. NJ. w. Moore.
 It is thought that Only nine mem bers of the delegation will be present al the convention but their proxies will be in the hands of the members who are present under an arrangement adopted by the convention.
 The one thing the convention had in mind was to leave no doubt of the sentiment in Yavapai county against instructions and that was frequently set forth In the resolutions. The in- structionists did not abandon hope utterly until the last moment. They would have been satisfied with any sort of recognition but none could be given.
 The resolutions made no mention of any candidate for the presidency as such candidate. but the platform abOunded with recognition of the great services to Arizona of Senator J. B.. Foraker. The committee report con- tained the following:
 'To Senator Joseph E. Foraker. our great leader in congress. who opposed iointure with New Mexico. and by his determined fight for the Foraker amendment, gave us the American right to declare at the ballot box our opposition to joint statehood, we. the republicans of Yavapai county. in this, our first political convention held since the defeat of joint statehood at the last election, tender our heartfelt and grateful thanks for his devotion to the people of Arizona"
 LeROy Anderson later offered the following on the floor of the conven-
Arizona republican., 1908-04-17

tion, with the statement that 1t had the approval of the committee:
 Resolved. That the republicans of Yavapai county, with one accord, rec ognize that pIumed knight of Ameri- can politics. Hon. Joseph B. Foraker. of Ohio. as the valiant, fearless, tire less and able champion of the people of this commonwealth in their late desperate battle for independent au- tonomy and statehood, and assuring him of our abiding gratitude and last ing faith We delight to say that We regard him as one of the ablest, mo- biest and greatest. of our lofty souled statesmen, well worthy and capable of filling any office or place of trust and honor. in the gift of the American peo- pie.
 "Oh! was there ever abler knight
 In council or in war,
 Than Foraker of Ohio,
 Our Henry of Navarre?"
 This was also unanimously adopted.
 The members of the delegation while in Phoenix yesterday spent some time in an informal inquiry into the claims of the contending delegations from this county but none of them made any statement as to the probable ac- ton of the delegation in the contess.
