Each InStdllment a COMPLETE STORY

For Muffles knows just when and how.
DUTCHY went off to post some mall
And Captain Dinkey with water pail
Climbed up the path to a mountain spring,
While the little Jap with ball of string
Wound the crusty farmer round and round
And tied him tight to tree and ground;
ITO make him know our tent attack
Till other boys to help come back.
This his reply when Domino
Asked Jappy why he was doing so.
Muffles meanwhile was curled up snug
And sound asleep on favorite rug.
TWO girls came stealing up the walk
And as close they came their whispered talk
Was heard by Muffles and two meows or three
Brought Domino from the tent to see.
Said Domino: "And why come back
Miss Helen Brown and Miss Rachel Black?
You both look troubled; now tell me, please,
How can set your minds at ease?''
The girls looked scared for they had spied
The standing form of the farmer tied,
And as Helen Brown came close to see:
"Or is he dead, or what is wrong
why, there is Dad asleep" said she,
That he has been down here so long?"
Now please don't worry said Domino,
"For in half minute I'll let him co.
The string was loosened and all untwined
And Mufies looked clear through his mind
And with startling nod the farmer woke
And laughed out hearty at the joke
He spoke to the girls and said, IT guess
I'm entirely cured of crankiness,
For while slept just standing there
I dreamed of sunshine everywhere,
Of happy homes and children free
ALI romping, laughing merrily,
Of grown-up men just having play
And making merry all the day.

JUVENILE STORY by SEYMOUR EATON Author of the TE

Your camp has won; I'll take off my hat
To Prince Domino and his famous cat;
For assure you, Sir, that we
Are glad we came your camp to see.
THE Prince replied, You have learned
today
That boys and girls are made for play;
And that telling things that folks don't
know
Is simply part of the Gypsy show
The farmer laughed and the girls and he
Started for home so merrily
1t pleased the Prince and made
Jappy shout
To see how well their play worked out.
DINKEY returned on double jump,
His heart in his mouth with every thump,
His white eyes staring from his head
As to Prince Domino he said:
g Dis pickaninny seed b-bear;
Dat S s-sure did, away up there
BY dat m-mountain spring jus on stone
And Dinkey Dadd d-dare all alone.

The Prince replied, but just in fun

You saw bear all right, said he,
g And likely scared him up tree
For if you looked at him that way
He's now hundred miles awaya
But calm yourself, that bear I'lrfnd
When other things are off my mind. -
WHEN trouble comes it comes in fours
As when it rains good luck, it pours.
For just as Dinkey got his breath
A lad appeared as white as death,
A country boy with the Princes mail
And on his lips this awful tale:
Excuse me- Sir, to the Prince he said,
AS he took his cap from a tousled head,
II found these letters in a tree
Tied by string where all could see,
Down by the road and posted there,
Was this here note which says BEWARE i

Till he was ransomed by a loan
Of one-hundred dollars placed by stone
Which the note described as fat and wide
And by the spring on the mountain side.

That the hdnappers would take away

Superior Court System

After spirited debate the con- stitutonal convention last week adopted the superior court sys- tenn for the counties of Arizona. Under this system, which is modelled after the California sys- tenn, each county will have it's own court and elect it's own judge. This court will have general jurisdiction and be in continuous session. It will have it's own clerk and all probate matters will be handled by it. There will be no probate court. The judge will be elected for a term of fonr years, and in Yuma county will receive a salary of $3, 500.

Qualification of Judges

According to a proposition adopted by the constitutional convention the qualification of jldges of the supreme court is that the must have practiced for five years before the highest court of the territory and have lived in the territory for five years. Superior judges must have practice and residence of two years. Mr. Jones of Mari cepa asked why so long a resi- dence was desired. MT. Gun ningham replied: In order that the supreme court judge might have had time to familiarize him. solf with practice in Arizona. A motion by Mir. Jones to reduce the time to three years was lost.
 O motion of Fred Ingraham the salary of county judges was raised from S5OOO to S6OOO.

Big Cattle Shipments

When the fall shipments of cattle now in progress are com pleted, S25O, 900 will have been placed in circulation in Tucson during the fall months, accord ing to E. l.. Vail of the Empire ranch.
 An erroneous impression has become prevalent, he says, to the effect that the cattle are be- lng shipped out of Pima county to the coast because they are be- ing starveved out. AS matter of fact, MT. Vail says, the cattle now being shipped out of this country look well, generally speaking, and the heavy ship ments are due primarily to the fact that the prices now being paid are the higest received by local cattlemen in the past ten years.
 Other cattlemen claim that the current prices now obtained are $17 to S20 for yearlings, $19 to S22 for two year olds and S2O to $24 for three-year-olds.

Selecting Seed Potatoes

Dead vines at digging time are not 8 reliable index to the vital ity of hill of potatoes; so the only safe, sure way of obtaining the choicest seed is to mark the vigorous plants while they are green. Just before digging the entire crop 1 always take a spade or potato fork and carefully dig these seed hills. Then 1 allow the tubers to green in the sun for a few days and then store them in crates until plant ing time next spring.-Denver Field and Farm.

Care of Farm Tools

Que of the most serious leaks on the farm is in the poor care taken of farm implements when not in use. As soon as che sea- son is over binders and other machinery no longer needed this year should be carefully cleaned; the grease and dirt should be re moved from the bearings, and these should be carefully oiled and all parts greased to prevent rusting. Preparations should be made fer replacing any bro- ken or defective parts.
 If time does not permit of all this, make a memorandum to be governed by on some story day, and then see that everything is put iu readiness for the next hal vesting or having season. Get the repairs and place them on the machines at once. Take care of the blows. Get them under cover. Clean and grease bright parts, so that when wanted next spring they will SCOUT and save the time so many farmers lose in putting their implements into working order. - Farmers and DroVerS' Journal.

Originating in the pious desires of our fOrefathers to make pub lie acknowledgement of their faith in the overruling and directing provi- dence of God, it has, in the course of time, grown to be one of our great na- tionaI holidays in which all our people, of whatever relfg iuus antecedents or beliefs in whose hearts is found the spirit of thanksgiving, gladly partici- pate.
 In accordA ace with the proclamation of the President of the United States, and following the precedents of the past, in recognition of the goodness and mercy of Almighty God in bestowing upon us as a people prosperity, peace and happiness,

CALLS JAPANESE FANATICS
tAssociated Pressl

NEW YORK, June 29.-Brig. Gen.
Jacob Smith, retired-perhaps better
known as Hell Roaring Jake"-who
recently returned from a tour of the
world, sprung an unpleasant surprise
on his old associates in the army and
navy yesterday, in a long interview in
which he declared this country is
wholly unprepared for war. He was
discussing the possibility of war with
Japan and the probable outcome of
such a war;
Il think there is little probability of
trouble" he said, but If it comes our
army is wholly unprepared, and our
navy is by nc means ready. l hope to
heaven such d war never comes. L am
one cf those soldiers who do not want
war.
But believe the best way to pre-
vent war is to be prepared. Now, how
about our army? The people won't let
us have enough soldiers to be of any
use. If war comes with Japan, the
Japanese would grab the Philippines
and Sandwich islands before we could
say Jack Robinson. We have not
enough of an army to hold these is
lands, and we have to send our troops
$4,000 miles to get them there. Once we
lose our Pacific islands we could never
get them back.
AS Tor the navy, our SHIPS are all
right, but our idea of battle Is very
different from the Japanese idea. They
are as fanatical as Moslems, and be-
lieve every soldier killed in battle goes
straight to heaven. They think moth
ing of sinking a ship. The men would
go to the bottom singing 'Hosannah!
Why, if an American general sacrificed
his men as the Japanese commanders
slaughtered theirs at Port Arthur, he
would not be a general fifteen minutes.
Thank heaven, there is little probability
of war.
ITO be sure, the people of the west
coast are bitter toward Japan, but Jap
an has her hands full with Korea just
now and is in no financial condition to
undertake another war. Then, too, the
statesmen of the two governments are
getting to understand each other pretty
we'll, and any trouble that comes up is
pretty sure to be settled by diplomacy"

GATHERING EVIDENCE ON
CHARGES MADE BY GORE
McMurray AbsoIves Texas Man
from Part in Contracts

WASHINGTON, June 29.-Copies of
contracts of ]. F. McMurray, an Okla
homa attorney, with the Choctaw and
Chickasaw Indians, are being prepared
by the interior department for the Sc
lect house committee charged with
making an investigation to determine
whether any member of the house was
interested in these contracts, whether
efforts were made to use improper in
fluences to secure the passage by con-
gress of legislation instructing the eX-
ecutive department to approve the
contracts.
Mr.. McMurray, who was accused by
Senator Gore last week of improper
activity in connection with ChoctaW
and Chickasaw Indian land contracts,
today sent to Senator Jones and rep
resentative chairmen respectively of the
senate and house investigating COM
mittees a letter asking for an early
investigation, and denying all charges
made by Senator Gore.
Regarding the assertion made in the
house that National Committeeman G.
A. Lyon of Texas also was interested in
the contracts attacked by Mr. Gore,
Mr.. McMurray added:
"Mr Lyons has no interest, direct or
indirect, in the contracts, nor has he
been interested at any time in securing
them"
