WOMEN WORKERS IN GERMANY
Statistics Srow Increased Feminine
 Competition With Men.

Berlin-Those who feel anxiety over the growing competition by women | with men in the worlds labor market may find grounds for their fears by examining the German official labor statistics which have just been pub | lished by the Reichsarbeitsblatt. Some of the striking facts pointed out are
 the following:
 In 1907 the number of male workers In Germany showed an increase over the previous year of 2.20 per cent; the female workers an increase of 7.38 per cent
 In 1908 the male workers decreased by .16 per cent; the female workers increased by 3.S7 per cent
 In 1909 male workers decreased by 162 per cent; the female again in- cread by 4.23 per cent.
 In the first semester of 1910 male workers increased by 4.2i per cent, and female by 6.54 per cent.
 It will be seen that in Germany's trade revival the women have relative ly benefited by over 50 per cent more than the mon.
 Both the demand for and supply of female labor, the Reichsarbeftsblatt points out, have risen greatly of late, and the supply remains far below the demand. notwithstanding the fact that the number of women registered at labor exchanges as seeking work has increased this year by 1872 per cent.
 The German hausfrau may find it difficult to believe it, yet statistics show that there is a fractional increase in the number of hired girls, house keepers and mothers helps" wanting employment Textile trades apparent ly have far less attraction for women this year, offers having declined from the proportional figure of 106.03 last year to S5.S4.
 Woman's economic progress in Ger many is further illustrated by the half yearly university statistics The Ger man universities are attended by 3,396 women students, of whom 2,170 are fully matriculated. Since the winter semester of 19OS-19O9, when women were first admitted for natriculation in Prussia, their numbers have risen by 50 per cent each term.
 The greatest number of women studying at a single university is 626, in Berlin. Just about half of all Ger man women students choose philoso- phy. philology or history, less than a quarter go in for medicine and the rest is made up of women mathematicians, lawyers and theologians. A curious modern feature, at least in Germany. is little group of fifty-six girls who want to graduate in dentistry.
 Russia contributes the largest con tingent of women students of non Ger man nationality; they number 131, and the United states comes next with forty-si

NOBODY QUITE KNEW WHAT 1T WAS ABOUT
The Habeas Corpus Case of pr. Alton
 Continued.

Deputy Sheriff Jeff Adams returned yesterday from Tombstone. where he took Dr. R. A. Alton for a habeas corpus hearing before Judge Doan. The doctor had been held by Justice Johnstone after hearing on the charge of practicing medicine with out a license.
 Application having been made to Judge Doan for a writ, it was issued and made returnable last Thursday, but curious state of affairs devel- oped after the arrival of the parties to the hearing. Some of the papers were absent and nobody seemed to have a clear idea of the matter.
 Accordingly, the hearing was ad- journed until next Thursday. In the meantime pr. Alton is paroled in the custody of his attorney. A. A. Wors- ley, of Tucson. On precisely what grounds the release of the doctor is asked for has not been stated.

Judge Lovett, head of the entire

saying that they will give Idaho such
an awakening in the way of railroad

as result of the railroad activity.
AS the time comes nearer for the
turning in of water for watering the

of the fact that the water is all ready |

only little dressing up to complete |

acre that wants water this year will
have at least two acres of water

He huns an echo of the Groom of all the
honey bees;
He thinks the grass is just as green the
sky is Just as blue
AS ever any sky or grass on any day he
knew.
He thinks handclasp means as much
as in the days of old.
He thinks heart can brim with all the
love that it can hold,
He still believes a smile is true and
good words are sincere
And that content comes to abide with
them that have no fear.
A strange old man is he, indeed; and yet
his face is young
It's wrinkles are the laughter-lines his
constant joy has flung;
His hair is white as snow and yet some
way you know his heart
Is warm with all the sunshine of the
years we hold apart.
And yet more wonderful all those who
know this old, old man
Seem cheered to meet and greet him
and to talk of hope and plan;
They do not count his age in years, they
do not think him old
For age is something that may not have
hearts within its hold.
l know man who is so old-it is his
And yet he is as young to-day, forsooth,

County Business Grows Fast
Six Times AS Much AS Three Years Ago, AS Shown By
the Receipts of the Auditor, Clerk and Recorder
mo More Time for Official Fishing

Some interesting statistics have
been gathered from the Office of the
clerk and recorder of Lincoln coun-
ty, covering the past three years.
There was a time, not so very long
ago, when not one of the county Of
fees in the county seat needed a
deputy; the officers had so much
time on their hands, after doing all
their own work, that they became
expert fishermen, hunters, checker
players, or whatever they chose to
do with their spare time. That the
conditions have changed wonderfully
since that day, may be judged from
the following figures:
When Harry Anderson, the pres
ent clerk, auditor and recorder, took
Offices in 1907, the total receipts of
the Office were s77.75 for the district
court, $3.50 for the auditor, and
S1465.20 for the recorder, a total
of s156745 for the year. The year
just closed, shows $625,55 for the
district court, eight times what he
took in two years previously; $84.50
for the auditor, more than three

times as much as before; and $10,-
9S4.90 for the recorder, almost sew
en- times as much as during the first
year; the total for 1909 was $11,-
894.95 seven and one-half times as
much as in 1907. In the district
court, Is cases were filed durng 1907

All through the offices the same per-
centage has been maintained; grow

the officers have hardly had time to
adjust themselves to the conditions
1t has been very hard to secure help

month, the county assessor and tax
collector has had to have two shifts
Of workers on his books, and it was
only by the most superhuman labor
that they kept ahead of the avail

them.
The county Offices are in good
hands, and the increased work has
not been enough to swamp the coun-

A constitution and bylaws were
adopted, setting forth the objects of

which it is to be governed. 1t is
a business organization primarily,
aimed to interest the farmers in the
kind of crops, the best live stock,
the best method of cultivation, and

good seed oats can be had here at

SWEEPING JUSTICE
Sent to Jail for Stealing Brooms
and Raisins.

"Sage Brush Jack" was arrested
Wednesday morning, charged with
stealing dozen brooms and box of
raisins from freight wagon.
He was taken before Judge Bower
Wednesday afternoon where he plead
guilty to petty larceny and was fined
$50 and costs. Not having the money
he was taken to the county jail Thurs
day, where he will probably remain for
the next thirty days.
Jack is a noted character around
Richfield, having been around here for
several months, and during that time
has been under the influence of liquor
and if the parties who have been fur
nishing him with booze had been sent
to jail instead of Jack, the town would
have been better off.
