MR. RANDOLPH SHOWS
 MUCH VERSATILITY

For the third time this season Chas Randolph, stage manager of the Poli Stock Go. in Bridgeport, is taking part in one of the plays presented by the Stock company. in f"Alias Jim my Valentine" MT. Randolph inter- prets the character of Blinkey Davis a prisoner at Sing Sing. Blinkey is doing a 'bit" for tampering with cheques, and he illustrates how the change is made in a cheque to in- crease the amount. Mr. Randolph s portrayal is above criticism.
 Though a versatile actor, Mir Ran- dolph is best known as character interpreter, and has done commenda- ble work with various companies. His record includes season with Mildred Holland in "The Triumph of the Elm press,'' two seasons with Nixon Zim- merman, a tour of the country with Jane Conklin, several seasons with Williamsport Stock Orpheum Stock, the Crescent Theatre and five years with the King Dramatic Go.
 Mir Randolph enjoys the distinction of having begun his career with the full consent of his parents. He in- herits dramatic talent, as twenty-five members of the Randolph family are now behind the footlights.
 Mr. Randolph managed the Poli Theatre in Hartford the first three weeks of the season, and will manage for Mr. Poli in some other city after the close of the stock season.

 Most of the owners who pay the smallest wages require the greates' service, and they are directly and in- directly responsible for lot of the grating with which the chauffeur is charged. I know one prominent phy- sician who last winter employed an his car for $60 a month. It was the graduates first job and he imagined that the future would bring some thing better, but he soon discovered that driving the doctors car was the smallest part of his work. For his s60 he had to go to the house in the early morning and attend to the fur mace, then att as butler at breakfast, tidy up the doctors office and usher in his patients when they called. Af- ter lunch he drove 1.-the doctor on his rounds, and later took the physician s wife for a drive in the park or tour of the shopping district. At dinner the chauffeur again played the part of butler, and thereafter was free to devote himself to the care of the car, or whatever else he pleased. As a

 T know another chauffeur who is employed by man in the suburbs and who receives s10O a month for chauffertng and attending to the gar den, while the chauffeur's wife serves as the madam's maid.
 dOf rnayraa do mt avna nrnorS for taking advantage of the situation, but it seems to me that more of them should distinguish between mere driv- CTS and competent chauffeurs, and be willing to pay the price for compe- tent service. There was a time, of course, when chauffeurs had an ex- aggerated idea of their value, and asked and obtained fancy salaries, but that was years ago, when they tried to make themselves and the public believe that they were akin to locomotive engineers and should be treated and paid accordingly, and when some of them even thought that they were demeaning themselves and playing the part of a footman if they to open the car door for the women folk. Those days have passed, how ever, and today good mechanics, who are careful and competent drivers, can be had for s25 week, and oc- casionally for less. When they are re- quired to take care of more than one car, it is my belief that they are en- titled to more money.
 "I am not advocating high wages as solution of all evils, but I do be- lieve that a competent man is worthy of his hire and that it is up to auto mobile owners to distinguish such men from the horde of half-baked grad uates and garage-bred drivers, who are drivers and nothing more. When they make such distinctions they will discover that they will obtain more and better use from their cars. and at a far less expense, and when they investigate the characters and capa- Utilities of chauffeurs who apply for work even half as carefully as they investigate aplicants in other lines, the crooks and the grafters will be com pelled to go elsewhere, and, as a self respecting man, will be glad as any, one to see them go."

LONDON MAYORS ANGRY.
Because King George Knighted None of Them.

r dondon, Aug. g.s1S.-London is divid- ed into twenty-eight different bor- oughs, each of which, so far as gov ernmental organization is concerned, is really a city by itself, and at the head of each one is a mayor. These mayor are very angry indeed at King George. The reason is that he knighted none of them during the re- cent coronation ceremonies, whereas the mayors of the various provincial cities he has visited since coronation day have received a knighthood apiece.
 To make matters worse it tran spires that a representative list of the London mayors was actually on the original coronation honor list'' and someone-the mayors have not yet been able to find out just who but it may have been the King himself blue-penciled it. And the explana- ton given out from the Lord Cham berlain's office does not help things, either. A provincial mayor, it is pointed out, is really a mayor. But the mayor of a London borough, though called a mayor, is in fact only the chairman of a ward council.
 The London mayors have held a couple of meetings to consider the way they have been treated. It was finally decided that it would make them ridiculous to voice a formal protest, but they are boiling mad, for all that.

TEMPERANCE PEOPLE OBJECT.
To Judges Service to "Have {
 Glass of Beer" Occasionally.

Birmingham, Aug. 18.-Judge Sir Thomas Bucknill of the High Court of Justice, is in hot water on ac- count of his views upon the drink question. Temperance societies all over Great Britain are adopting reso- lutions of disapproval of his attitude, sending him letters of protest and dispatching delegations to urge him to change his opinions, or at any rate, not to air them in public.
 The commotion is the result of what the judge said in pronouncing a sentence to six months hard labor upon John Bennett. at the Birming- ham Assizes recently, for shooting and slightly wounding his wife in a fit of drunkenness. Having imposed the penalty, Sir Thomas took occasion to deliver a little homily upon the virtues of temperance.
 'I do not ask you to take the pledge" he told Bennett, because that which is done in haste is not al- ways successful. But I do appeal to you to pull yourself together and be man. I advise you to have a glass of beer occasionally, because if you work hard it does you good, but stop when you have had enough
 The first half of the last sentence is what did Judge Bucknilrs business with the temperance people.

HONEST MEDICINES
 VERSUS FAKES.

President Taft's recent message suggesting an amendment to the Pure Food and Drugs law in its relation to Prepared Medicines, does not refer to such standard medicines as Foley $ Honey and Tar Compound and Foley Kidney Pills, both of which are true medicines carefully compounded of in- gradients whose medicinal qualities are recognized by the medical pro- fession itself as the best known rem edial agents for the diseases they are intended to counteract For over three decades Foley's Honey and Tar Com pound has been a standard remedy for coughs, colds and affections of the throat, chest and lungs for chill dren and for grown persons, and it retains today its pre-eminence above all other preparations of its kind. Fo- ley Kidney Pills are equally effective
 and meritorious. F. B. Brill and Our tis Pharmacy. P3 s135

Even this increase in value does not fully represent the increase in the number of machines exported, sincs the export price has fallen in the meantime. The average export price Of automobiles exported in 1908 was. in round terms. s2,OOO; in 1909. s1.- 5eO; in 1910, a little over ssL,3OO; and for which figures are now available, in the seven months of The year 1911 little over S1 .D00 each. the export price having thus fallen practically one-half since 1908, these figures of average export prices being obtainea by dividing the stated number of su- tomobiles exported into the stated value thereof for each of the years iu question.

WILCOX LINK
 TO BE BUILT
Governor Sloan Assures the Start of Work on Highway in Sulphur Spring
 Valley Soon
PUBLIC TO BE CONSULTED

Petitions drawn in Douglas and circulated there and in the Sulphur spring valley asking for the imme-. diate construction of the territorial highway from the present Bisbee- Douglas link up the valley to will COX have been presented to the board of control. The fact that such a peti- ton has been sent in and that an as- srance has been given that the link to Wilcox will be built in the near future gives satisfaction to residents Of the Warren district as well as to those who presented the petition even if that petition was not presented to the people Of this district for slgna lures for all alike are interested in the speedy construction of good Toads throagh Cochise county and the completion of the territorial road through this county.
 Since nothing has been said about this proposed extension and new road wcrk 10 Bisbee people it is possible that there is some significance at tached to such silence. When it is known that B. A Packard brought news 10 Douglas, after a recent trip to Phoenix, that .if the people would 6esignate the course they desired to run the highway that course would be followed if it be feasible. inc si- lence thus far maintained is the more significant. Douglas wants she high way to nun direct from that city north and claims that it win thus be Of greatest advantage to the agricul- tural communities of the value and that lateTals can be run from Court land and Pearce. It is therefore prob able that the east route up the valley win be urged to the exclusion of the west
 There are three possible routes up the valley, the one described, Q cen tral route where the washes are so heavy as 70 put # out of considera- ton, and the west one that starts from Forest and runs up the west side of the valley, taking in Court land and Pearce This route is fair to Douglas as it is to Bisbee, the route starting from a point between the two cities. and it also means much to the two towns mentioned
 to put them on the road map. it would therefore seem the part of poi icy for Warren District people and the residents Of CcUtisnd. Pearee and the westerly side Of the valley to express their preference for the west | eriy route before Douglas and the ! settlers on thc east side of the valley ! forestalI them by urging that the east eIly route be taken.

SONORA WILL PAY
 MORE FOR ITS FOOD
Shortage of Con Crop and of Cattle VIII Make Prices
 Higher

Shortages in the beef supply and in the corn crop are faced by some sections Of Sonora this fall There are no alarming rumors Of famine, but conditions are such that prices .of both beef and corn will be higher than they ordinarily were before the late revolutionary troubles. These are the reports from recent arrivals from the Moctezuma river country which in the past has been an Import ant factor in both the corn and the beef supply of that state Conditions are peaceful, despite some wild rum ors that have prevailed but which, however, proved without foundation crops were planted as usual but eli matic conditions are largely respon- sible.
 F. o. Bostick and A. R. Dickson, owners of the Washington mine re turned to the states on Saturday from the Moctezuma river country and the country about Cumpas. They report conditions that augur for high prices in food stuffs in sonora and may re- suit in the removal of import duties The rains of the summer were not general and the corn crop of the Moe tezuma river country will not be over 20 per cent Of a normal cThop. In the past two or three weeks there have been more rains in that section than for several previous weeks but these came too late to save the corn crop.
 To speak of more than 60,000 coW1ess acres seems an odd expres- sion and yet this is the way the re- turning party spoke of the cattle con dition in the section of Sonora which they visited There have been more than l7o0 head of cattle shipped from there to Cananee for food purposes and other cattle were shipped 70 the states for fattening before going to the eastern markets. It is customary in the Moctezuma country to figure one COW to each 20 acres and since there have been shipped away from there, in addition to the cattle killed for home consumption and also in addition to the many that were killed by the contendiug forces during the revolutionary period, more than 5000 head it is evident that there gre 6O,0O0 acres that are open for grazing pur- poses, or a shortage of more than 5000 head probably nearer 5000 head of cattle on the ranges.
 Repons from the ScRora rivel country are not so discouraging as to crops as in the Moctezuma river country but the corn crop there will not be up 70 the normal. so it is likely that Cananea and other Mexi- can cities Viil have higher cost of living problems confronting them in The coming winter.
