to buy anything. We should do this,
even though we might sometimes
have to pay few cents more. It is
to our interest to do so for the
reasons already pointed out. But we
can almost always buy goods at home
to better advantage than elsewhere.
Just take look at some of our big
stores and see how many people they
employ, all of whom have to live
here and who contribute to the city's
prosperity with their earnings.
Let's stand by our merchants.
They are the backbone of the city,
and we can't have a city without
them. They need our help and we
need theirs. Therefore, let us urge
you once more not to go away to do
your shopping or send orders to cat
alogue houses, but keep your money
at home and help to build un your
own town by patronizing its mer-
chants and it's various other enter

THE COST OF SAVING A SOUL
Pastor of Baptist Church at BOs-
ton Says 1t Is $40.

How much does it cost to save a
soul? Some probably come very
cheaply and others come higher, but
according to the Rev. Mr.. Johnson,
pastor of the Warren Avenue Baptist
church, Boston, souls he has been in
strumental in saving cost an average
of $40. He reaches this figure by a
very simple calculation. He merely
adds up what his church has spent
during the year and divides it by the
number of converts during the year.
1t would be interesting to know just
what it costs per soul saved to keep
all the christian churches open for a
year, including the missions in for
eign lands. Since some denomina-
tions believe that a convert can back
slide it is possible that some souls
would be counted twice or more. But
after having obtained the price of a
soul in dollars and cents the church
may ask: What does it matter what
it costs to save a soul? Is not a
human soul above all monetary
value?

justitiable, but declined to make a
further statement.
A preliminary trial was held be-
fore Justice r. M. Jones Thursday
afternoon, and the court upon hear
ing the testimony decided that Wor-
rill was justifiable and ordered his
release.

tragedy, but the facts in the case are
that Baldwin and Worrill walked
into the lobby of the hotel, where
IAeAS were SSFeIdl men, anu passing
by them in the ordinary manner of
friends started into the toilet room.
They stopped at the, entrance and in
just minute two shots rang out.

see Worrill holding a revolver in his
hand, leave the fallen man and make
his way toward the entrance of the
hotel. There he met Sheriff w. /.
Mattox, who accompanied him, after
a few words, across the square to
Worrill's office. Here he remained
until his father, who was on a fishing
trip eight miles in the country. could
be brought home in an automobile.
Worrill is unmarried and about 25
or 26 years of age. Baldwin was
about 30 years of age.

FIND TONS OF ROTTEN FOOD
SHOCKING CONDITIONS EXPOSED
AMONG NEW YORK DEALERS.
Inspectors Have Condemned Vast
Quantities of Adulterated Food
Stuffs of All Kinds.

NEW YORK.-This city is carry
ing on an aggressive campaign
against dealers in impure and pois-
onous foods. This week forty-six de-
PENDANTS were arraigned for viola
ton of the pure food law, and TWEEN
ty-fve of them were convicted, the
majority receiving fines which rang
er from 500 to $500. The dates for
the trials of the others were fixed.
Since the beginning of the year
the state bureau of food inspection
has condemned over 100000
pounds of food as rotten or adulter-
ated. The meat condemned amount
ed to more than 100000 pounds;
there were over 100000 pounds of
condemned fruit; 100000 pounds
of vegetables; 241,000 pounds of
fish, and $4,000 pounds of candies.
Shocking Conditions.
The inspectors have found a
shocking condition existing in almost
all parts of the metropolis. Ice cream
has been found containing wood al
cohol, candies containing poisonous
dyes, soda syrups made of coal tar,
putrid meats preserved by formalde-
hyde, hams almost active enough to
enter a Marathon race, eggs which
were fit only for Chinese stink pots
and yet which were sold to bakeries
and decayed chickens utterly unfit
for human food. During the same
period over $4,000 quarts of milk
were condemned.
There are ONLY 81 mon anon1nvad
by the bureau and the head of it,
DR.. Mcmillan, says that with an ade-
quate force more violations of the
pure food law would have been un-
earthed. He has made application
for the employment of 200 inspect
ors.

SEEMS TO Be MAD ABOUT IT.
CORRESPONDENT OF THE NEWS
EXPRESSES HIS OPINION.
The New Rules Governing AutomO-
bilisrs This Paper Recently Print
ed Are Not Approved by Him.

An unknown citizen of Thomas
ron Ga, who is evidently Il g 4
friendly terms with the joy ride e
bis section, does not altogether
nroye of some rules recently prin :
IN The News for the government
outomobilists on the highways, an,
has written us the following emphat-
10 and interesting letter on the sub
ject:
Editor Dawson News: The origi-
nator of the article, New Rules to
Govern Automobiles, is evidently
as mad as h because the auto crew
can't run roughshod over the coun-
trv boys. No, he need not do all
the things that he has taken 80 much
mains to enumerate. If he will Just
act the gentleman that will be suffi-
cient to insure his safety as we'll as
those he meets. l am determined,
if ever one of the h cats causes my
team TO run away and do me any
damage without observing the auto
rules that are in force, l will see
what virtue there is in a winchester
rifle or a double barrel shotgun"
What the Rules Are.
The rules which were recently
published in The News, and to which
our wrathful correspondent, who
does not seem in a state of mind to
appreciate little humor, refers are
printed again, as follows:
An automobilist on approaching a
team to stop and cover his machine
with a tarpaulin painted to CORES
pond with the scenery. In case an
automobile causes a team to run
away the penalty will be $50 for the
first mile that the team runs, 500
for the second and 5000 for the
third.
On approaching a corner the au-
tOmobilist will stop not less than
100 yards from the turn, foot his
horn, ring bell, fire a revolver, yell
and send up three bombs.
Automobiles must be painted so as
to merge into the pastoral ensemble
so that teams and pedestrians may

winter.
Automobiles running on the
road at night must send up red rock
cts every mile and wait ten minutes
for the road to clear. The automob-
bilist may then proceed carefully,
blowing his horn and shooting roman
candles.
When an automobilist meets a
horse which refuses to pass the ma
chine he must Immediately take his
machine apart and conceal the parts

When the roads are dusty automo-

WILL WEAR HIPS AGAIN.

They Are Coming Back in Style for
the Women.
If gowns shown recently in New
York by master builders of feminine
creations" are indicative of coming
styles the hip markets will be throng-
ed again soon. What, hips again?
Yes, hips. They are coming back
into style, so of course, they will be
worn, whether one has them or not.
The hobble has sunk so low that it
will catch it's wearer by the ankle.
But the most chic of the new gowns is
the one that has a tail. 1t is merely
an elongation of the gown on one
side or the other. never exactly in
the center, and preferably to the left.
How happy hardworking husbands
are that feminine dress fashions
change so frequently.

A BIG RUSH FOR DIVORCES
FIFTY MEN ASK FOR SEPARA-
TION ON THE GROUND OF
EXTRAVAGANCE.

PITTSBURG.-The fall season for
divorces opens here Monday with 100
women and SO men asking for sepa-
rations. Exactly so of the men ask
divorces on the ground of extrava-
gance. Nearly all conceded in the
view that their wives spent too much
money on fashionable gowns and
hats.
Some one ought to murder these
Paris freaks, who are continually
creating fashions and subsequently
making the poor men of America
suffer. My wife has bought "A hats
and 20 gowns in one year, dramati-
cally exclaimed Harry Worthington
in asking a divorce from his wife,
Pauline
Shoes to Burn.
They were married in 1910, and
Worthington said that $1,000 he had
saved has been converted into fine
gowns and hats. Forty-nine others
besides Worthington declared that
their wives had spent hundreds of
dollars on fine gowns and hats.
One man said his wife had pur-
chased % pairs of shoes, IL fancy
belts, 81 hats and IA gowns during
the year, and that he has discovered
his salary of $40 a week is not suffi-
cient to keep her, so he wants a di-

IRRIGATION FARMS SUCCESS
Government Now Has More Than
One Million Acres of Land Re-
deemed From the Desert.


WASHINGTON.-The reclamation
work accomplished by the govern
ment is of far greater extent and
Importance than the average person
realizes. This work was authorized
by the reclamation act passed in
1902, and since then has involved
an expenditure of $59,5SO,00O. Dur
ing the same period land values have
increased in the territories benefited
$lO5, 100000. Since the work was
begun more than 100000 acres of
land on 2S distinct projects have
been reclaimed from the desert. All
told there are now $4,000 families
living on the reclaimed lands, their
farms being watered by government
canals having total length of s.
967 miles.
Vast Profits Realized.
Marvellous have been the profits
made by some settlers upon some
of these irrigated government lands.
mere is the case of a farmer on the
Huntley project in Montana, who
cleared 1925 an acre on cucumbers.
A fruit farmer has made as high as
1871 an acre, and near Yuma a
strawberry farmer cleared $500 to
the acre. The net profit of many
farmers engaged in general agricult-
ure runs from $40 an acre upward.
One Yuma farmer netted $500 an
acre on his grapes and $3.50 an acre
on Watermelons. But these rich re-
wards have not come to the slothful.
Irrigated farms need looking after
as well as those which depend upon
climatic conditions.

New Mexico and Arizona

The Senate, by a vote of 53 to 18, has passed the House bill looking to New Mexico and Arizona statehood, essentially unchanged. The House will doubtless accept the two Senate amendments, and the bill will soon be sent to the President.
 The measure will become law al though the Senate refused to strike from the Arizona constitution the ju- dietary recall provision. As the bill stands both New Mexico and Arizona will be required to vote on constitu- tional propositions before their ad- mission to the union will be approved by the President and a proclamation duly issued. Mexico must vote on a proposition that enables her constitu- tion to be more easily amended, and Arizona is to vote on her recall prop osition so far as judges are con- cerned. Root and Shoot are among those who voted to cut out the recall provision altogether, regardless of the will of the people of Arizona. The proposed striking out was readily de- feated, however, and the matter goes to the people of Arizona. What they will do is really immaterial, for as soon as Arizona becomes a state she can apply the recall to all state of ficers. The entire subject is a temp est in a teapot, and it's object is to delay the admission of the two states until after the presidential election.
 The greater probability is that both states will be duly admitted in the course of about six months, and that the entire territorial policy of the government on the mainland will speedily become history. Our terri tory outside of the mainland consists of provinces in plain defiance of the spirit, if not the letter, of the Ameri- can constitution and American self government.
