High Cost of Living Alleged to Be Due 10 Commission
 Merchants

The popular cry of the public, led ny muck-raking demagogues and self seeking politicians, that the prevail ing unhealthy economic conditions ol Inc country are due. primarily. to ex eeSsive charges for transportiny com. modities from producer to consumer and that relief lies in further reducing freight rates Is refuted to a great ex. tent by Dr. l.. il. Bailey of Cornell President Of the Country Life commis. sloh Dr. itailey Of Cornell, after ma. king a comprehensive study of the sit. nation in which he used the most authentic government reports as well as data drawn from his own investi. gations arrived at the conclusion that In the middleman and his profits lies tho real cause Of the high cost of liy. ing.
 Investigation has proved that the micdleman is to blame for the ex- tremely high price of food products % said Dr. Bailey recently. "Somethine Ike siXty-five cents out of every dol lar received from the consumer is La ken by persons other than the produe- CT. The business and social salvation oi the producer lies more in his get. ting fair per cent of this dollar-the result of his labors-than in increas- ing the prOductiveness of his land. Broadly speaking the farmer does not receive his share of the produce of his land, notwithstanding all the increase in the price of farm pro- duets
 Dr. Bailey suggests as cure for Che abuse. government licensing of mid dle-men.
 It IS the governments duty.' he says, to protect its people from other abuses which are beyond the peoples conrol. Such licensing. or any other practical method of diyerting the pro fits into the pockets Of the farmer, where they rightly belong, will prove the solution of the high cost of living problem

There is an old traditiOe 10 the et

 The fabric Of the gown evolved by the mere man was soft elingins crepe de chine of shadowy blue tone It was cut in kimono fashion. with loose-hanging Oriental sleeves.

ART OF WAR TAUGHT
 BY CORRESPONDENCE

! PHOENIX, Ariz.. Oct. i4.- Every
 officer Of the National Guard of ! Arizona Is now a member or cor
 respondence school. The school is ! tO be conducted for two years by | Lieutenant F. F. Jewett of the reeu. ! lar army now attached t0 the } i c. A., 'and his first set ol questions went out this morning Additional sets will De sent out at intervals oi
 two weeks.
 The correspondence school idea is
 new one. but is believed 10 he
 one of Inc best ever devised for the
 training or National Guard officers. IL is being adopted in an parts Of
 rie United states. Each cOmmission- ed officer is required tO submit an-
 swer papers 10 each set Of questions
 within stated period. if the an-
 swer papers are correct it shows
 that the officer who prepared them
 has al least looked mp the points
 Involved. if he was not already fa-
 miliar with them.
 Since Lieutenant Jewett was at- taehod to the guard several steps have been taken that are expected to greatly increase the efficiency of the N. c. A. All the officers and men Of the regiment are doing what they can to insure the passage of the National Guard pay bill. which Is to come up at the next session Of congress. Today Captain Charles W. Harris had a long talk wi,h Delegate Ralph Cameron. who prom ised 10 use his influence in favor of the blll.
 This bll provides that enlisted men shall be paid $l apiece for each drill they attend. that company shall be paid 20 Der cent of the pay Of regular army of- fieers of the same rank, and that all other officers shall be paid tif- teen per cent. Its passage is cer- tain 10 result in vast benefit to tho guard, not only in Arizona, but throughout the United States. Utah has had a state pay bill in operation a year. during which time the inem- bership and efficiency Of the organ ization has increased 100 per cent.
 Arizona officers are anXiously awaiting copies of the new army drill regulations, which are expected any day. Two sample copies have been received already but many more are required for general distri. button. The new regulations are a radical departure from the old, as they cut out all fancy dills and retain only such exercises as are likely to be used in battle lorna lion.

SOAORA MINES

 CANANEA Son., Mex. 0CS.t3:-- What looked for time to be q serious matter and which was the cause Of over GOO men being out of employ ment, now seems to have resulted iii nothing but q temporary shutdown Of two Cananea Consolidated Copper c0mpany's mines, as the men who struck at the Eureka mine returned to work this morning and it is under i stood that the force at the Over sight mine will be at their work this evening. Such is the information giy- en out at the offices Of the company this morning. and it is to be hoped that this will be the end of the fool ish actions of the laborers.
 For a time there were over 600 men out on strike, all over small griey- ances, the Oversight force demanding the discharge of two American shift bosses and the Eureka men objected tO paying l peso for the loss of drills. they being charged up with all the steel which disappears which are in their charge.
 After the men had been on strike for q few days they realized the fool ishness Of their demands and through their leaders requested that they be allowed 10 return 10 work. This the company granted, giving them no concessions whatever, and the affair k now practically a closed incident.
 At the various departments of the company everything is now running smoothly and the output for this month will not suffer from the labor troubie, as it did not interfere with the operations of the reduction plant,
 chispss Closes Down
 Word was brought to the city this week to the effect that the Chispas mine has been closed down temper arily on account of the loss of their water supply and pumping plant, due 10 the severe floods of last week. Several Of the employees of the com pany have arrived in Cananea and state that the close down will be in effect for the next month and pro bably longer, it depending upon when the damage can be repaired and a new plant installed.
 AIaeran Sinking
 This week work was begun in earn est at the Montezuma-Arizpe proper ty tMexican Metals company, sink ing being resumed at the Alacran shaft after being idle for a number of years. The shaft had been sunk previously to a depth of about 100 feet and no preliminary work was necessary before resuming operations as it is in excellent condition. Aug ,Fritsche, manager of the company states that another shift will be put on the work as soon as conditions permit.
 The Smaller Mines
 The annual meeting Of the Fl Tri- unfe Consolidated Mining company was held at Douglas recently and re- suited in the reelection of all officers. Pres. A. (. Chariot reported that the property was in excellent condition. A dividend of per cent was recently paid.
 The San Marcus mine, near Cabul- Iona, south Of Douglas. will soon be paid for as the final payment will De made next week. The property was operated by Hoyal A. Smith and as- sOciates a few years ago.

A Warning to Teachers

| understand that there are
two book agents working in the
county soliciting orders among
teachers for a set of books and
claiming that the books have
the Endorsement of this office
and that they may get them
here on certain dates. These
gentlemen called at my office
and asked for my Endorsement
of the books. [ never saw the
books and absolutely refused to
give e them any Endorsement.
Furthermore, nothing was said
that would in any way convey
the idea that the books might
be sent to this office. I wish
teachers to know that I did not
indorse these books and any
thing that is told to lead them
to believe that the books have
the Endorsement of this office is
untrue.
