Commercial Organix ation.

Last Sunday, the committee recently
 appointed to prepare rules, regulations
 and bylaws for the new commercial or
 ganization, which is soon to be launch ed in this county, met at the offices of Dr. J. R. Whiteside and prepared and adopted laws and rules to govern the organization. These laws and rules will be submitted to the general meet ing, which has been called for next Wednesday evening, at Elks Hall. The question of naming the organiza- tion has been left to the meeting next week, when something will be adopted that will fill the bill. Everybody should attend the meeting and get their names on the roster of what, we expect, will be one of the most upto- date boosting organizations the coun- ty has ever had. Miners, mine own- CTS, commercial men and everybody interested in the welfare of Mohave county should have their names on the list of this organization. Remember the date, Wednesday, July 28.

 A. F. Harris and family returned to
 Kingman last Monday evening from
 Los Angeles.
 Mrs. Lilly Payne, daughter of MT.
 and Mrs. James Dundon, departed
 Monday last to her home in Waco,
 Texas, having spent several months
 in this county visiting with relatives. J. P. Gideon and bride returned
 from Los Angeles last Monday night
 and have been receiving the congrat-
 ulations of their many friends. They
 will soon begin housekeeping and will reside in Kingman.
 John F. Withers and I. D. Hilty re- turned Sunday last from Los Angeles. MT. Hilty took course at the hot springs of southern California for a case of deep seated rheumatism.
 George H. Taylor, while putting in telephone line to the Red Top mines, last Wednesday, was struck in the eye by the end of a wire, the eye being badly injured. He came to town Thursday and departed the same day to Los Angeles to consult specialist.
 Mrs. J. N. Wilson, who was taken to Los Angeles about month ago for treatment at one of the hospitals, will soon return home, no benefit having been obtained. Mrs. Wilson has been sufferer from rheumatism the past five or six years and everything pos sible has been done by her relatives to alleviate her suffering, but without avail.
 Lovin & Withers are building an immense stable for the Kingman Liv- cry Stable of M. G. Wagner. It seems too bad, now that everybody is build ing fireproof structures that great wooden building should be thrust up in the main business part of the town to be a menace for years to come. We hope the owners will see their error and build a stone or concrete structure as soon as possible.
 Owing to a rate war between the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe the rate on cyanide has been reduced from 3.17s per one hundred pounds to PITS per one hundred pounds to Goldield and other common points in Nevada.

 The Santa Fe is having hard time trying to save its pump station at To- pock. The Colorado river has cut out the banks more than a quarter of mile on the Arizona side, and the pump station had to be moved farther inland. Every effort is being made to prevent the further encroachment of the river, but so far without avail. T le big concrete banks on the Califor- nia side of the river is forcing the stream straight across against the banks on the Arizona side, making a big whirlpool that is fast demolishing the banks along the main line of the railroad. It is estimated that the river is more than forty feet deep where a month ago there was high and.

that is destroyed he starts on the corn

A CONVINCING pEMoNsTaATIoN,

A reader OF these notes living at Le-
raysvllle, Pa, sends as clipping Civ
Ing brsef summary of the potato
spraying experiments which have been
conducted by the experiment station
at Burlington. VT. during the past
eighteen years. The showing is such
an excellent one that potato raisers
win be glad to hear about it. Thor
oagA spraying with the bordeaux mix
sere. blue vitriol, lime and water made
up in the $3.50 recipe twice yielded 81
per cent more and spraying three
times yielded 14l per cent more than
the unsprayea. During the eighteen
years that the station has used the
bordeaux mixture there has been an
average increase of % per cent, or I12
bushels, per acre. The lowest increase
in yield was 26 per cent and the high
est 215 per cent in seasons when there
was much dampness, The varieties
experimental with were the White.
Star, Polaris, Green Mountain and
Delaware, and these when unsprayea
yielded from 81 to 26T bushels per
acre under least and most favorable
conditions. while sprayed the returns
varied from 1873 bushels to $50 bushels
per acre. These figures should be
scanned twice by the fellow who pre-
tends TO raise potatoes on a CONNER
cial scale. and even for the home gar
den the precaution is well worth while.

The NEED OF SHADE.

During the hot weather of July and
August this year there appeared in
some of the central western states ac-
counts of cattle in pasture being killed
by the intense heat In most cases
where such losses were reported there
was no shelter for the stock from the
glaring rays OF the sun. In one in
stance all of a herd of twenty-three
died. while in another some fifteen
persisted. the animals when found be-
ing piled up one upon another in an
effort TO reach 4 mere patch of shade
hardly sufficient for. single animal
Losses OF this type would seem to sug-
gest the wisdom of providing shade of
some kind in the pasture lot 50 that
on especially hot days the stock may
find refreshing shelter there Where
grove is not available shelters of
some kind should be erected. which
may be left open on two or three sides
so as to permit Of good circulation

An alert little dve-year-oId was visit

the first time. She had noticed the
beautiful red and white swan boats as
they passed through in the morning,
and her mother had promised they
should come back after the shopping
was done and have ride.
Shortly after dinner they stood on
the bridge over the lagoon watching
the boats below and listening to the
cry of the barker as he tried to indtce
the passing crowds to patronize his
swan boats.
But when her mother started toward
the boat landing little Elsie declared
very vigorously that she did hot want

SOMETHING TO woRK EoR

A scad of young fellows don't fare
any better than they do in a financial
way because they spend every cent
they earn just as fast as it comes into
their hands. The outcome of this Is
that. saving nothing. they have nothing
ahead toward which to strive and nat
urally feel unprepared to tackle any
business proposition requiring capital
or to make definite plans to have a
home of their own. both of which in
fiuences would tend to have a steady
ing and uplifting influence ron their
lives. The average young fellow. plug
ging along alone without any well de-
fined object in life, often has spells
when he questions whether the mere
feeding and clothing of himself is real
ly worth while. and in too many cases
his doubt would seem to be justifiable.
1t is only when he gets to working for
something or somebody outside of him
self that life has zest and meaning. A
savings fund laid aside for some def
mite purpose. perhaps the starting of
home or the helping of some friend
or relative in need. Is boon which
thousands of young fellows ought TO
avail themselves of. The start may
be hard. bu: the rest is easy. The sec
ond hundred dollars is often easier
saved than the first ten.
