Money In Cabbages.

week with a small load OF cabbage
which he really disposed of at two
cents per pound to the local deal
srs, bis load bringing him about
SIS. When questioned regarding
the growing of cabbage, be said
that he planted 1000 plants to tho
acre, and that his cabbage now
average about five pounds to the
head making them worth ten cents
at the present price. At this rate
it his plants ell matured, his acre
of cabbage would bring him the
neat little sum of 500. But sup
pose that the worms. drouth, birds
and other causes reduced his crop
a full half, he would still hav. a
crop that would bring him $3.50

HOW MCCORMACK WAS
 RECEIVED IN SOUTH
Spoke to Large Audiences in Tucson Globe and 8isbee-The Typhoid
 Question.

pr. J. N. Mccormack was as enthus- iastically received in the southern part of Arizona as in Phoenix. according to Dr. F.. :. Godfrey. territorial superin- tendent of health. pr Godfrey played a prominent part in making arrange ments for the local reception of the noted lecturer. and after he spoke at the Elks thester on the evening of No vember Is accompanied him to Tucson, Globe and Bisbee.
 In each of those three cities pr. Me Cormack spoke to q large crowd. The Phoenix audience was the largest he spoke to in Arizona. but Tucson. Globe and BiSbee turned out almost as well as Phoenix in proportion to population.
 The speech of pr. Mccormack was practically the same in all those places as he delivered here. but in every case he made reference tO local conditions. Before addressing the people of any place he may visit it is his inVariable practice to investigate slaughter pens in the vicinity. sources of milk and water and other matters affecting the public healtth.
 In Globe and Bisbee he gave some eN- cellent advice concerning the preven- tion of typhoid cases of which are found in those places the year round Ii is hoped that his remarks will have some effect upon the authorities and upon the public.
 Dr. Godfrey states that Bisbee has not been entirely free of typhoid for years. There seems tO be little ques- ton that the germs are transmitted by flies and water In Johnson addition to Bisbee there are a number of contami- mated wells. At present there IS Httle typhoid but last summer there were numerous cases The disease is usually more prevalent in Bisbee during the summer when flies are numerous. than at any other time. This is regarded by physicians as evidence that the flies transmit the germs.
 Dr. Mccormack spoke in Bisbee on the evening of Thanksgiving day and went from there to Fl PaSo. From Fl PasO he went east
