SATURDAY SALES

The Saturday Auction sales are
surely great convenience to many
Hardly Saturday passes but that
the parties benefited by selling goods
average from 10 to rs in number.
One thing sure it furnishes a market
for everything. If a man needs a
little money he digs up something he
does not need and sells it, gets his
cash and pays debt. The buyer
buys either because he thinks it a
bargain or because he needs it. 1t
surely fills long felt want and
should be patronized. Even Mr.
Young at the depot had some dead
freight among which was a tomb
stone. This was sold and perhaps
saved some man several dollars.

Front View.

Front view of modern sanitary and
comfortable swinging stanchion. The iron
pipe finishings reduce to minimum
material on which dust can collect and
which would tend to obstruct sunlight
built of such material and in such a
way as will leave only a minimum
space on which dust can collect. Solid
wooden stall partitions are very OBJ
jectionable because they obstruct light
and collect large amount of dust.
There are many different kinds of
stanchions and various other ways of
tying cows now in use. Many of these
are comparatively free from objec-
lions. The new builder, however
should carefully investigate some OF
the best types of swinging stanchions
now on the market. These are being
installed with much satisfaction in
many of the most modern barns. In

torrents of water at a pressure OF
three hundred pounds to the square

of cubic yards of earth are moved

PANICS
Washington Star

w dSulHSIOu OIdl-
Two warnings appear today abou
the early financial future. Boil
breathe panic. One comes from YAH
professor who meditates on things il
the quiet of his library; the othel
comes from lawyer in practice ant
in close touch with great railroad
corporations.
The scholar reads trouble in the
glut of gold and rising prices. A
panic is bound to follow, and, he
thinks, soon. As far as his voice
reaches and his influence prevails, the
effect of his deliverance will be de-
pressing. Timid folk will begin to
see things. "Old stockings and tin
cans"-referred to feelingly in the
senate recently-will again come in
to use. Hoardings will increase.
Money that should be doing business
will go out of business. Owners will
thus help produce panicky conditions.
The railroad lawyer bases his pre-
diction on the Presidents announce
ment that the law affecting railroads
will be executed. That, we are told,
has made every railroad company I'M
easy Confidence, partly restored
since 1907, has again been shaken.
Why should the President have said
such thing? What good could come
of it? See the harm that has come of
it. Values have gone down, and will
go lower. Let the Sherman anti
trust law be executed, and we shall
have panic las is a panic" The
furry in Mr.. Roosevelt's day will
look small by comparison.
1t is safe to say that we have not
seen the last panic The human body
could no more be guaranteed against
disease than the business world
against money disturbances Both are
inevitable. The man in robust health
should be on his guard against over
feeding and entertaining, but is apt
to presume on his Strength, and then
certain to pay the penalty. But,
while in health, he will not be bene-
fitted If he is told twenty times a
day by as many different acquaint-
ances that he must be careful, and
that there are signs in his face and
figure that all is not well with him.
II nervously organized, he is likely
w oO IiiPpcu up NY IHo very 0X-
cess of solicitude. In other words, a
man man be knocked out by ill-ad-
vised efforts to serve and save him.
Flush times will bring overtrad-
ing and too much confidence. 1t is
well to be on guard against too many
and too large ventures. But as CAPT.
tai Is VIGOROUSLY nervous and timid,
there is no surer means of injuring
1t than by logging it with excessive
solicitude and gloomy predictions.
There is no better way to aid in pro-
ducing panic than by ringing a bell
all day long, and announcing in circus
day parade fashion, Here she
comes"
Fortunately in this case, the voice
OF the closet professor does not carry
far in the business world, while that
OF the railroad lawyer denouncing the
law smacks too much of his en-
ployment to be impressive or convinc-
ing.

OPERETTA-A NAUTICAL KNOT

The presentation of the operetta
by the choir was unique success and
called forth all kinds of praise from
the large audience. 1t was a proper
climax to the days events. Prof
Engar has again shown himself a
skillful conductor. To get so large
a number of inexperienced singers
to produce such perfection of har-
mony must have required long and
careful training and those in charge
merit special recognition. The oper-
eta is new one, written by Maud
Elizabeth Inch and Nm. Rhys-Her-
bert. 1t has its setting in the sea-
port town of Barnstapoole.
1t is a pretty story of the coquetry
of Julia the Belle of Barnstapoole
AMI the romantic love of Nance" and
Joe Stout. The scenes show the
Bounding Billow" and the return
later of the gallant bark and crew.
The music Is especially beautiful
which, with the rythmic movement
of the singers and the splendid Or
chestration, produced a harmony and
rapture of feeling that will remain
in the memory of all who heard it.
Some of the soloists possess voices of
rare quality. The excellence of the
production make it worth repeating
in other cities and we are glad ar
rangements are being made to this
end.
The role of the belle of Barnsta-
poole was well sustained by Miss
Belle George whose acting and clean
sweet soprano was always delightful.
Elmer Rigby as Barnabas Lee gave
pleasure with his fine tenor voice.
The beautiful echo love song they
sang was a gem.
Miss Maud thurman as Nance and
Angus Green as Joe Stout, her lover,
were pleasing characters. Their love
duet was perhaps the finest number
of the evening. Both have excellent
voices, contralto and baritone. Miss
Turman's solo, Loves Full of Joy,
was a genuine pleasure and received
great applause.
Then there were the three maids
of Barnstapoole, Misses Blanche Mel
baur Gladys Bassett, and Hazel
Lloyd, who were always favorites
with the audience. Also the lads of
the Bounding Billow, Greeley Green,
Rigby. and Alfred Bybee.
They all did we'll.
Bill Salt, by Jas. R. Young, Jr,
was simply great. The young man is
a genius and his characteristic of
the "old tar" was well worth seeing.
The duet between him and Belle |
George was one of the hits of the
evening
The chorus work was excellent and |
everything went nicely for amateurs.
The music is especially beautiful. The
assistance of the orchestra added to
he success. Prof. Engar deserves
especial commentator for his work
With the choir, as also Miss Jacobson
Ind Miss Martin for the assistance
given. The ocean scenery and ship
we're painted by Miss Belle George.

much to the success of the presenta-
ion.

THE BILL SHOULD PASS

The agitation started throughout
the country against the practice of
the postoffice department of print
ing the names and addresses of in
dividuals and firms upon post cards
and envelopes has crystalized in a
bill, known as Senate Bill No. 1914
and House Bill No. BOTS, prohibiting
such practice, and also the sale of
such envelopes and post cards by
the department. 1t is not intended
to interfere with the printing of
blanks with spaces left in which
names and addresses may be writ
ten, and so states in the body of the
bill.
This bill is righteous one and
ought to be passed at once. 1t needs
no argument to prove the iniquity
of the practice which it seeks to
prohibit in this free country and
under this democratic government.
1t is sufficient to make the sug-
gestion: Suppose, in addition to
entering into competition with the
printing trade, the postoffice de-
partment were to assume a similar
attitude in the business of the butch
er, the baker and the candlestick
maker! This bill is the opposite ex-
treme from the ship subsidy bill,
and has just as little place under
our form of government.

the correctness of this statement
can be relied upon. In times like
these it will do well for the mail
order enthusiasts or customers to
reflect and sympathize with the
home merchant who can not boast
of such profits on the years busi-
ness, but is good enough to carry
over a lot of last years unpaid ac-
counts in order that the delinquent
can purchase feed for his stock to
enable him to make another crop.
Cooperation should be borne in
mind in all our dealings. Help the
home merchant by giving him your
trade and he in return will help
you by paying you the highest mar
ket price for your produce and ex-
tend to you every possible accom-
mediation. Part of the merchants
earnings go towards building up
your town, your churches, school
and contributions to charity and
not in municipal and railroad bonds
like the mail order houses. Coddle
these facts in your mind, brother,
and if you have been a mail order
disciple, make up your mind to
build up your home section by
spending your money at home and
thereby enhancing the value of
your own holdings. xxx.

A MAIL ORDER REPORT

The following article may help
some of our people in Stafford and
the Gila Valley to realize some of
the harm they do to business at
home when they patronize the mail
order house; when they send their
money away to Chicago to buy
clothing, implements, musical in
struments, machinery, etc. Every
dollar sent away from home is a
dollar withdrawn from local circula-
ton. 1t helps to make the rich
mail order man richer and the
struggling town or valley merchant
poorer. Read the article and then
do some thinking. and when you
are through thinking, make firm
resolution to never again patronize
the mail order house, and to stick
to the home merchant:
Sears, Roebuck & Co. this year
furnishes an interesting contribu-
tion to merchandising history. Ac-
cording to the annual report of that
corporation, the year 1909 was a
very busy one, the most prosperous
in its history. A total business was
recorded of $5l, 900, 900, which yield
ed net profits of $6,192,361. And
still the farmer believes he is get
ting goods at less than cost.
1t may be interesting for that
same farmer to consider that this
catalogue house paid in addition to
seven per cent dividend on its pre-
ferred stock, a profit of $5, ,522, 1856,
which is equivalent to an 1874 per
cent dividend on the common stock.
Now this is considered something in
the light of a melon.
In addition the balance sheets
shows an item of 81, 1893, ,523, the
market value of municipal and rail-
road bonds which the company holds
among its assets.
1t is to be hoped the firm is prop
erly thankful to the farmer who
made this report possible.

WHY NOT?

After all when sound business
sense and reasoning has taken the
place of the vaporings that ascend
ed into the ambient from the brains
of the Thatcher funny man, and the
real people, who have the interests
of Graham County at heart, and are
progressive and imbued with the
unselfish spirit of making things
better for every one, and willing to
take part in any movement that
makes for good business and pros
perity, the joining of Gila and Gra-
ham counties takes on another light.
In letter received from one of
Globes leading citizens, we read
that the proposition to make one
county from Gila and Graham
counties is looked upon favorably
by large number of Globe people.
The progressive people of both
counties realize that from busi-
ness standpoint the consolidation of
Graham and Gila Counties is step
in advance.
On the other hand the individuals
in Graham County who would pre-
vent consolidation for the sole and
selfish reason that they would lose
control, politically, perhaps, if Gra-
ham and Gila counties were made
one county, are not working in fav-
or of progress, either from private
citizens view of the matter, or
from business standpoint. Their
motives are wholly selfish ones, and
should not be allowed to prevail in
any community.
A better spirit would be to en-
courage the people to better deeds
and better thoughts for advance
Tent and prosperity to come to all,
and If consolidation of both counties
would make for the most good to
the greater number, the proposition
must be a good one and should be
consummated.
