Speaking broadly, the women of this country are informed only to a limited degree about mod ern American laundries and the progress they are making and have made.
 The purpose of this advertise ment-and those to follow-is to implant the right idea about modern American laundries in the minds of as many women as possible.
 We mean to do this by telling you what a good laundry is and how it is conducted; how it does it's work and what kind of work 1t sends home to you. If we succeed, the end of this year will see thousands of women availing themselves of the economy and convenience afforded by the good laundry or laundries that every con- munity possesses.
 But this will be merely an incl dental result. Our real purpose is to. add to the number of good laundries the country over; and this we shall do If we can enlist the aid of the women of the coun. try.
 You do not know that mighty movement is well under way for the improvement of these laundries, which fall below the high standard of this associa- tion.
 It has the earnest support of every laundry represented in this Association and of many not represented.
 The owners of these laundries- some thousands of men-are striving constantly and con scientiously to better their f. service in scores of ways. Their desire for the great good and satisfaction of their customers is so strong upon them that they do not hesitate at the expenditure of money. If you should go into laundry, representative of the ideals held by the members of this association, you would marvel at the things you would see. Copyright, 1911, The Laundrymen'

CANANEA GOVERNMENT
 QUITE SATISFACTORY
Life and Property as Secure as in the
 Past.

Naco. Ariz, June 2-The new gov ernment of Cananea is giving that great mining camp a most satisfac tory government. according to all re- ports from there. The maintenance of order and protection in property matters have been equal to any time in the past The only evidence that the district has been the recent seat of a civil war is the absence from' homes and business interests of those who were prominently identified with the old regime. the most of whom through fear of popular wrath are either in hiding or have fled from the country.
 The cooperation of the rebels with the present national administratio ton is shown by the movement of soldiers who were enlisted under the banner of Madero through Naco in large en route to the Altar district and to Lower California to make war upon the bandits.
