infammatory rheumatism in bad form.
The first cry of the city authorities
against these lodging-houses is the
great expense, yet they think nothing
of adding hundreds of thousands of
dollars to the cost of constructing
other municipal buildings for no other
purpose than making them ornamen-
tai.
Is it not strange how we human
beings would prefer to pay taxes for
the support of criminals in the peni-
tentiaries rather than take a cheaper
means to prevent the making of
criminals?
Every man who walks the streets
unemployed is looked upon as a
vagrant or suspicious character of
some sort. tell you that 80 per cent
of those unemployed men are honest.

NEW LINK BETWEEN SCIENCE
AND BUSINESS.

Out at the University Of Kansas they
have taken step which seems to be
the last link needed to bind together
science and business. In the big
chemical laboratory of the university
eight or nine post graduate students
are already at work, each of them try
ing to solve some problem which
means a fortune to the business man
or corporation directly interested. The
young man shown in the photograph,
for instance, is spending three years
in the study of the chemistry of bread.
During this time he is supported by
fund appropriated by the National AS
ISOLATION Of Master Bakers. Another
student is working to f1Md a better
enamel for lining the inside of steel
bath-tubs. His scholarship of $1,000
a year is paid by large corporation,
which will be directly benefited by
his work. These post graduate students
will also be paid certain per cent. of

many, but already large plantations
have been established in western New
York, Indiana and the vicinity of Balti-
more. On a single acre of rich, we'll

plants may be set out, and if tended
with the same care given to other

which has proved most successful may
be obtained from the department of ag-
riculture in Washington.

THE TRAVELLING ROOTLESS GAG.
TUS.

The curious round object shown IL
the photograph is a rootless cactus,
a native of the great California des.
ert. For eight or nine months in ths
year, in the shape of a f1attened globe,
the plant is blown about the fat sandy
floor Of the desert by the winds which
sweep fiercely in from the ocean
When the first cloudburst breaks over
the desert in the spring, the dried-up
cactus sends out a perfect network OF
thread-like roots, often spreading over
a circle whose radius is ten feet. From
these roots spring small shoots each
Of which becames a cactus like the
mother plant. The young plants suck
the life out of the parent. When the
few weeks of the rainy season are
over the roots dry up and in the place
of one there are perhaps 100 little balls
left to be tossed about over the desert
floor. some of them travelling 40 or
so miles from the spot where they first
appeared.

 ASSOCIATION
Will Be Organized During Visit of Colonel Bry-
 an to Globe

The Globe Automobile association will be formed during the visit of Will liam Jennings Bryan, who comes to Globe on Monday, November 9, ac- cording to present plans.
 The organization will be effected at this time by reason of the fact that a big delegation of Phoenix automobilists will come to Globe to meet MT. Bryan and the occasion of their visit is thought to be the best time for the formation of the local association.
 Percy Bullard, president of the Phoe- nix Automobile association, is expected to head the visiting autoists and it is probable that a large and very repre- sentative delegation will come to Globe.
 The automobilists of Phoenix are greatly interested in the proposed Globe association and they will do everything in their power to further the new club
 Good roads will be the slogan of the Globe automobile club. Practical ly every ear owner in Globe will join the new association and they believe that by concentcd action they can do much good work toward the improve ment of the roads in this district.
 All of the automobile clubs in the territory will join in the fight for bet ter roads, and as the result the cam paign along this line should bring re suits which will benefit not only the au- tomobilists, but the general travelling public as well.
