SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED

Phoenix, April 26.
 Editor Journal-Miner: Narieopa Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, is sending out circular letters to the teachers of the Territory requesting their cooperation and that of their pupils in raising funds for memorial work in Arizona.
 While the primary object of the so- ciety was to perpetuate the memory of the spirit of the men and women who achieved American independence, their work is not confined to the Rev olutionary period
 As a result of eighteen years of loy- al, intelligent work, a traveller over the highways of America. who loves his country and its history, will surely delight in reading by the Nayside its stories, written in tablets, monuments, and historical arches, each telling its own story of time and place, action and actor, when and by whom history was made.
 Our Territory is rich in deeds of historic value which were vital in the founding of our commonwealth and should not be forgotten.
 The brave pioneers who faced the perils of the "Great American Des- ert" are just as worthy place in our history as those who braved the perils of the ocean.
 The patriotic women and children of the West have rallied to the aid of the e Daughters in their work of pre- serving and marking the great trails over which the pioneers travelled from the Mississippi valley to the Pacific Coast
 The stories of these great trails read like an epic, and the historical spots in our own Territory are all associated with as much suffering, heroism, and success as those of the great trails of the home of the Revolutionary heroes in the East.
 This work should unite all portions of our Territory in a common cause, in thus honoring the brave men and women who faced every trial, hard ship and danger which pioneers must always endure.
 Love of home and love of country flourish best side by site and it is earn estly hoped that the appeal of the Daughters" will meet a generous re- sponse.
 Contributions should be sent to Mrs. Walter Talbot, State Regent, Phoenix, Arizona.

NEW OIL FIELDS ID BE OPENED IN
 UTAH
Is a Promising Field For Exploitation
 Work
cFron Tuesdays I0aHyl


 Through the efforts of Senator Shoot large tract of land forming a part of the Navajo Indian reserva- tion in southern Utah will be opened to development under the mineral laws. This land is said to be promising oil field, and some good wells have oeen struck upon it. The settlers have been anxious to be permitted to enter upon the land and develop the oil, but have been unable to do so, because of the fact that though it was formerly a part of the public domain tt has been set aside by the secretary of She interior for the use of the Kaibab Pi- ute Indians. Senator Shoot took the matter up with the department and the Indian commissioner, Leupp, has informed him that the Indian office will issue permits for shose who wish to locate mineral claims and drill for oil
 The fields are considered the most valuable oil fields in the west Fand in terested parties are keeping an eye oa the future. While the oil fields are far from railroads, if oil wells develop there will be means made to reach them.

Prescott, 5.
 Phoenix, 1.
 That tells in brief tine story of the game on Sunday between the Grays and the All-Stars but it does not re- veal the reasons why the score was So lop-sided. Up to the seventh inning it was close and exciting contest and then Delgado went to pieces, al lowing several men to walk to first and being responsible for two tallies by the Grays on account of wild pitches. Had there been no errors, the score would have been l to o, for the Stars lonesome tally was due to Wilson s wild throw to first of a grounder batted to him by Stephenson, who covered three cushions, and was brought home by Duhnson's single. Both teams played rattling good ball and outside of their twirler, the Stars measure up well with the Grays. Heau of the home team was the star per former of the day, doing some brilliant fielding in his position on the second bag. "Tex" Hodge is developing in to classy pitcher, and had seven strike-outs to his credit. There were only two errors made by Prescott, and both are charged up to Wilson, who has only had a weeks practice. There is no questioning, though, but that Jess will redeem himself as soon as he gets in trim. The next game will probably be with Mayer.

COMPULSORY INSURANCE.
Had Been In Operation For 27 Years
and is WORKING Well.

Had Been In Operation For 27 Years
and Is Working Well.
Washington, Nov. 21.-Compulsory
insurance, which has been in operation
throughout Germany for the last
twenty-seven years, will result in
much benefit to wage-earners there in
the opinion of Consul Thomas H. Nor
ton of Chemnitz. He has reported to
the department of commerce and
labor that many workers in Germany,
uncertain of steady employment in
older age, are feeling the benefits of
the compulsory law.
In describing the plan, Consul Nor.
ton says that physicians are engaged
by the officers of insurance organiza
tions on fixed contrs 1t terms at fees
considerably less than those usually
paid for such services. The physicians
however, must exercise considerable
ingenuity in ascertaining whether the
patient is really ill and in need of at
tention.
The plan seems to be working we'll
and many persons who were formerly
treated as charity patients are, under
new conditions, enrolled in the ranks
of the insured.

PROF. GLEASON
DEAD At FL PASO
FAMED AS HORSE tanner AND
NATIVE OF WIS
CONSIN.
Madison, Nov. 20.

Word has been received Of the
death in Ell Paso, Tex, of w. H. Glea'
son, formerly of Mineral Point, known
all over the country as Professor
Gleason, the horse tanner" He often
exhibited in Madison, and all local
horsemen knew him and admired his
skill.
A few years ago Professor Gleason
was known throughout the country
for his success in subduing the wild
est horses, animals that resisted the
efforts of every one else and we're re-
garded as unbreakable. He never
used any mechanical contrivance to
assist him. His success was gener-
ally credited to his magnetic manner.
He would enter the stall of some fiery
animal and in a short time the horse
would be entirely subdued. He was
amazingly, laughingly cool even while
driving the widest sort of horse.
Professor Gleason was about so
years of age. He went to Texas
seven years ago. His father, Thomas
Gleason. lived in Darlington and was
an auctioneer.

this year. In the second half the
wolverines outplayed the gophers at
every stage, turning a six to six tie
into victory.
During the first half both carried
the ball on consistent plugging and
long gains half the length of the fiela
for tOuchdOwns. But in the seconG
half Minnesota could do nothing with
Michigan's powerful line and the vol
VERNE ends rarely were able to stop
the gopher attack Michigan tore
big holes in the Minnesota line and
kept the ball in gopher territory most
of the time.

Mrs. Taft has made simplicity the
prevailing note in fashions in Wash

Her example, of course, has been
followed, as was that of Mrs Roose-
welt when she was in the white house.
Mrs. Taft's spring and early summer
hats have been of lingerie or straw.
She has shown partially for sheer
linens, which are embroidered and
trimmed with heavy lace. Since she
became mistress of the White house
few Partisan gowns have been worn
in the capital.
Mrs Knox, one of the best-gowned
women in the official set, does not
agree with Mrs. Taft on the question
of hats. She wears as a rule modi.
