WOMAN AND FASHION
New sprinq Model.

Many of the new models are fasci-
mating, those turned up sharply at the
side or back being unusually becom-
ing and such a contrast to the peach
baskets Of last spring. There are a
few, as usual, that are very eccentric,
and one cannot admire the huge Rus
sian turban developed In straw. One
model that fitted the head closely had
no brim, but a high round crown, and
was in deep rose straw. Over this was
drawn fatty black chantilly lace, A
dark blue straw was trimmed with old
rose chiffon, and a black horsehaii
model showed a large bow Of gera,

there are so many TYPES Of fashion
this season. So don't throw away your
short WASTED frocks if the lines are
becoming to you. for short wasted

The coIlarless linen frock is very
smart this season, and this seIniprin-

THE GOVERNMENT
 WAS MERcIFUl
Charles WieIand Had to Be Prose
 cuted for Counterfeiting

Charles Wieland, an alleged coun- terfeiter, was turned out of jail yes- terday on the authority of the United States government Deputy United States Marshal Anderson re- ceived a telegram from United States District Attorney Morrison, directing the release of Wieland, saying that it had been ordered by the depart ment of justice. It is understood that representations in behalf of Wieland had been made to the department in which it was shown that he was in i'll health and that confinement would be fatal to him.
 The precise nature of the evidence against Wieland has not been given out but the alleged offense was com mitted in Cochise county where Vie land was arrested for another crime committed and sent to the territorial prison. In the meantime he had been charged by the government with counterfeiting and on the day of the expiration of his territorial sentence Deputy United States Anderson met him at the door of the penitentiary and brought him to Phoenix. That was about two weeks ago.

WRESTLING MATCH
 FOR FRIDAY NIGHT
Christensen Will Again Try His Luck
 With Local Heavyweight.

Al Christensen. the wrestler, will again see what he can do with a local man on the mat next Friday at the Majestic theater. Bob Irwin, weight 205 pounds. will be his antagonist this time.
 The bills say that Christensen has to throw Irwin three times in an hour or forfeit $100 and 60 per cent of the gate receipts. The past performances of Christensen in Phoenix have not been greatly to his credit. He has lost all of his matches with one ex- ception, and that was when he de- feated Jeffries in his secend match with him. He has almost always taken on his opponent at handicap, as in the present match. In his first match here he agreed to throw Jeff fries, the expressman, five times in an hour. He did not do it, and after that he tackled Balsz with the same ill success. Rocker was another man who seemed to be too strong for him.
 Preliminaries between four local boys will introduce the main event of the night.

a dispute with some one and struck another man, knocking him down. The victim was a rather fragile sort of an individual and it took about ten minutes, at least it seemed that long to bystanders to restore him to consciousness. After some further demonstration Hardin went away and soon after his departure AL Christ ensen, the wrestler, entered. The crowd was still talking about the af- fair and Christensen having been put into possession of the details of it, expressed regret that business had detained him elsewhere while liar din was on the warpath.
 He had fairly finished talking when Hardin returned ana signalized his reappearance by knocking another man down. He was then pointed out

to Christensen who approached and said something which was not under stood. Hardin was seen to make an aggressive movement and then what happened was most too quick for the human eye to follow. It looked like a six-inch punch with the left to the jaw.
 At any rate Hardin went down and the ensuing twenty minutes were de- voted to flaming him back to con sciousness. Both parties were ar rested and taken to the marshals of flee where they arranged for a meet ting without gloves before the re- corder this morning.

BR0KEN-ARMED LADY
 CAUSES SPECULATION
They Could Not Remember What the AIIegoricai Figure on the Capital Dome Held in Her Hand Be-
 fore It Broke Off.

That the habit of close observation is not a general one was illustrated yesterday by the conversation of two men who were standing in the capitol grounds gazing up at the aIlegorical figure that adorns the dome.
 It will be remembered that in a storm a few weeks ago the lady on the dome lost her left arm. The men, who have been in Phoenix almost since the capitol was built, were trying to recall what the figure held in her left hand before it was amputated by a sand storm.
 They puzzled over the matter for some time, and neither of them was able to offer a suggestion that sound ed convincing. They thought of every thing that might appear harmonious with her attitude and varry out the general meaning of the figure, without hitting on anything that was satisfac- tory. Finally they gave it up and in a spirit of levity one/suggested pow der puff and the other a match.
 You sec" said one, "she carries a lighted torch in her right hand it would only be carrying out the idea if SAS WI S- hAtA 0iiiS osas o "NNN her left"
 "A very weak suggestion" replied his companion; ''the lady represents q period when they did not have matches. Now 1 think that she did not have anything at all in her hand; as I recall it she had two fingers sort of spread out something after the manner of a small boy who gives silent invita- tion to a friend to come on in swim ming
 Then it suddently struck them both how quickly they had forgotten-if they ever knew-what the allegorical figure held in that hand, and one of them said: Do you know, it won't be very long before nobody will know how that hand was placed and what it held, and then archaeologists will get busy as they did with the broken armed Venus de Milo and try to restore her, and they will sketch out designs showing that she might have held anything from a cannon ball to a rabbits foot. l am going to call Miss 'Sharlot Halls

THE FARM LABoRER.

Rural Life Problems of the United
Arizona republican., 1910-08-24

"One feature of the problem should be recognized by the farmer at once. and an effort made to deal with it. It is our duty and our business to consider the farm labOrer exactly as we consider the farmer No country life can be satisfactory when the owners of farms tend, for whatever reason. to go away to live in cities instead of working their farms; and. moreover it cannot be really satis- factory when the labor system is SD managed that there is for part of the year demand for labor which cannot be met, and during another part of the year no demand for labor at all, so that the farmers tend tc rely on migratory laborers who come out to work in the country with no permanent interest in it and with no prospect of steady employment. It is exceedingly difficult to make a good citizen out of man who can't count upon some steadiness and continuity in the work which means to him his livelihood Economic conditions on the farnI-in variety and kind of crop growing. especially as distrib- uted. in time, and in housing for the menA-must be so shaped as to render it possible for the man wno laborS for the farmer to be steadily employ ed under conditions which foster his self-respect and tend for his develop ment
 THE WOMEN OF THE FARM,
 Above ail, the conditions of farm life must always be shaped with a view to the welfare of the farmers wife and the farm laborer's wife, quite as much as to the welfare of the farmer and farm laborer. To have the woman a mere drudge. It is every whit as important to intro duce new machines to ecOnomize her labor within the house, as it is to introduce machinery to increase the effectiveness of his labor outside the house. I haven't the slightest sym pathy with any movement which looks to eXcusing men and women for the non-performance of duty and fixes attention only on rights and not on duties The woman s who shirks her duty as housewife. as mother. is a contemptible creature. just as the corresponding man is contemptible creature. But the wei fare of the woman is even more inn portant than the welfare of the mans for the mother is the real Atlas, who bears aloft in her strong and tender arms the destiny of the world. She deserves honor and consideration such as no man should receive. She forfeits all claim to this honor and consideration if sine shirks her duties But the average American woman does not shirk them; and it is matter of the highest obligation for us to see that they are performed under conditions which make for her welfare and happiness and for the welfare and happiness of the children she brings into the world"

the farm and the shop. During the last half century we have begun to develop a system of agricultural edu- cation at once practical and scien- tifie, and we must go on developing it. But, after developing it, it must be used. The rich man who spends a fortune upon a fancy farm, with entire indifference to cost, does not do much good to farming; but, on the other hand, just as little is done by the working farmer who stolidly refuses to profit by the knowledge of the day; who treats any effort at improvement as absurd on its face, refuses to countenance what he regards as newfangled ideas and contrivances, and jeers at all book farming.
 A MODEL FARM.
 T wish I could take representa- lives of this type of farmer down to Long Island, where l live, to have them see what has been done, not as philanthropy but as plain busi-. ness proposition, by men connected with the Long Island railroad, who believe. it pays to encourage the de- veIopment of farms along the line of that railway. They have put prac- tical men in charge of experimental farms, -cultivating them intensively. and using the best modern methods. not only in raising crops, but in se- curing the best market for the crops. when raised. The growth has been astounding. and land only fifty miles from New York, which during our entire national lifetime has been. itreated as worthless, has within the last three or four years been proved to possess a really high value.
 "The farmer, however, must not only make his land pay, but he must make country life interesting for himself and for his wife and his sons and daughters. Our people as a whole should realize the infinite possibilities of life in the country and every effort should be made to make these possibilities more pos sible From the beginning of time it has been the man raised in the country-and usually the man born in the countrywide has been most apt to render the services which ev-' cry nation most needs. Turning to the list of American statesmen. 1t is extraordinary to see how large a pro- portion started as farm boys Put it is rather sad to see that in recent years most of these same boys have ended their lives as men living in cities.
 BACK TO THE SOIL.
 Tt often happens that the good conditions of the past can be re- gained, not by going back, but by going forward. We cannot recreate what is dead; we cannot stop the march of events but we can direct this march, and out of the new con ditions develop something better than the past knew. Henry Clay was a farmer who lived all his life in the country; Washington was farmer who lived and died in the country; and we of this nation ought to make it our business to see that the con

ditions are made such that farm life in the future shall not only develop more of the same stamp of Washing ton and Henry Clay. but shall be so attractive that these men may con- tinue as farmers; for remember that Washington and Henry Clay were successful farmers. 1 hope that things will so shape themselves that the farmer can have a great career and yet end his life as a farmer; so that the city man will look forward to living in the country rather than the country man living in the city.
 Farmers should learn how to com binei effectively. as has been done in industry.

MAY BE MADE ATTRACTIVE.

County life should be as attractive as city life, and the country people should insist upon having their full representation when it comes to deal ing with all. great public questions. In other words, country folks should demand that they work on equal terms with city folks, in all such matters. They shOud have their share in the memberships of commissions and councils; in short of all organized bodies for laying plans for great en- terprises affecting all the people; l am glad to see on such bodies the names that represent financial inter- ests. but those should not have the right-of way. and in all enterprises and movements in which the social condition of the country is involved, the agricultural country-the open country-should be as well repre- sented as the city. The man in the open country is apt to have certain qualities which the city man has lost. These qualities offset those which the city man has and he himself has not. The two should be put on equal terms, and the country talent be giv- en the same opportunities as the city talent to expreSs--itself and to con- tribute to the welfare of the world in which we live.
 '"The country church should be made a true social center, alive to every need of the community, stand ing for a broad individual outlook and development, taking the lead in work and in recreation, caring more for conduct than for dagma, more for ethical spiritual. practical better ment than for merely formal piety. The country fair offers far greater possibilities for continuous and healthy usefulness than it at present affords. The country school should be made a vital center for economic, social and educational cooperation; it is naturally fitted to be such a center for those engaged in com mereial farming. for those who live on and by the small farms they themselves own. The problem Of the farm is really the problem of the family that lives on the farm. On all these questions there is need of intelligent study, such as marks the books of Professor Bailey of Cornell and of Horace Plunkett's book on the

SIX SHOOTER KATE ENDS
ROMANCE OF THE HILLS

Spokane, Wash.-Mrs. NJ. From
herr known all over the panhandle
of Idaho as "Six Shooter Kate" from
tierswoman, nurse and rancher. was
granted decree without alimony in
her action for divorce in the Spokane
county superior court. Judge J..
Stanley Webster presided. Thus ends
a romance of the hills that began a
year ago, when the woman reined her
horse at the door Of Fromherz's cab
in near Wallace and asked for food
and shelter. Fromherz guided her
to the home of a neighbor. where she
remained three days. Soon afterward
Fromherz received a letter from a
lawyer, saying that his client insisted
upon marriage or compensation for
her bruised affections. The wedding
followed three days later, and, ac-
cording to the testimony, Fromherz
reputed to be a good-natured farmer,
started to make things lively for his
robust spouse. the result being she
came to Spokane and after acquiring
legal residence instituted proceed
ings for divorce. Mrs. Fromherz was
named "Six Shooter Kate" by an ex-
convict, whom she captured single.
handed and delivered to the authori-
ties.
