SOME TIMELY QUESTIONS

l. Are you prepared to spray
for the codling moth?
2. Is your spray pump in good
working order? Have your hose,
leads, extension rods, nozzles and
connections been properly cared for
during the winter and do they need
any attention now?
8. Have you ordered your arsen-
ate of lead?
4. Do you know that if you do
not order at once your dealer may
not be able to supply you at the
time that you most need it?
5. Have you copy of circular
No. Is of the Arizona Horticultural
Commission entitled, Control of
Cooling Moth in Arizona?"
6. Do you know that the first
and most important spraying of the
season should be made when about
nine-tenths Of the petals have fallen,
or within a week after that time?
Z. Do you know that unless you
spray each variety at the proper
time your efforts are largely wasted?
, 8. Do you know that you should
have a nozzle which will throw a
fairly coarse, forceful spray for the
first application, and nozzle throw
ing fine, mist-like spray for later
applications?

BAILEY's RESIGNATION

Joseph Standard Oil Bailey got
real mad Saturday and resigned his
seat as senator, because he did not
like the progressive features in Ari-
zona's constitution, and because the
honest democratic senator's voted in
favor of admitting Arizona. Later,
he withdrew his resignation
1t is great pity that his resigna-
tion was not accepted and Texas
given an opportunity to secure a
good honest democrat to, represent
her in the Senate.
Bailey lost out as a leader of
democracy several years ago when
his intimate connection with Stand
ard Oil interests became known. 1t
would have been good thing for
Texas then to have dropped him,
but he managed in some way to
pull the wool over the eyes of the
Legislature and retain his seat.
Lately he has come into the lime
light again by defending Senator
Lorimer, who was proven to have
secured his seat by dishonest meth
ods- 1t, perhaps. was natural for
Bailey to help Lorimer, who is un-
doubtedly in Bailey's class.
The sooner the Senate gets rid Of
its Baileys and Lorimers the better
il win be for the people. There is
10 doubt in honest minds that Bailey
Is now ip the down and out class
y the people of Texas should be

WE REBEL.

We rebel atthose wife murderers
and suicides having the gospel
preached over them and given a
Christian burial. They are not
Christians. They should be hauled
out by the off hind leg and thrown
on the garbage dump. Above all.
those devils should get funeral
that would be a warning to other
dastards contemplating committing
a like monster crime. Nice lesson
for the rising generation to have
Christ held over those demons, and
they rolled away sadly and mourn
fully in a polished hearse, walnut
coffin, bobbing with crepe! Little
wonder that it inspires the like mon
sters to just such crime against
God and humanity. Why, those
devils incarnate have larger and
more respectful and sad funerals
than our poor county dead, whose
only crime is poverty!
We can t wipe up the blood that
way. The stain is on high heaven
on us. Drag them away to the
waste dump, Cremate them. Throw
them in chloride of lime. But don't,
for the sake of the boys and girls,
give those vipers a religious, costly,
Christian funeral. Globe Republi-
can.
The Republican is right. The
wife murderer and suicide should
be buried in quick lime or cremated.
He has outraged every law of God
and man and Christian funeral for
such being is farce.
In the East, when the convicted
murderer pays the penalty of the
law, the body is consigned to quick
lime. That's the end on this earth.
They don't make heroes of murderers
and suicides. We should not do it
in the Southwest. There is nothing
heroic about the man who murders
his wife and then commits suicide.

WHY BUY AT HOME?

In one of the cities of the smaller
class the motto why buy at home''
has been posted in the street cars
and moving picture shows and
wherever space could be had, and
lit may be remarked that it would
be a mighty mean concern that
would refuse to give space free of
charge for its posting, for there is
nothing in a city, and particularly
in Stafford, that is not dependent
for its success upon home patronage.
Here it is. Cut it out and paste it
up in some conspicuous place:
buy at home
Because my interests are here.
Because the community that is
good enough for me to live in is
good enough for me to buy in.
Because ] believe in transacting
business with my friends.
Because / want to see the goods.
Because ! want to get what ! buy

Because my home dealer carries"
me when | am run short.
Because every dollar | spend at

for the welfare of the city.
Because the man | buy from

Because | sell what ! produce here

Because the man / buy from pays
his part of The town, county and

OUR MISSIONARIES

The following lines were composed
by w. G.. Reese and read at a re-
ception to returned missionaries in
st. Louis, Mo-:
We talk about the virtues Of our
brethern who go forth
To take the gospel message to the
nations of the earth.
We sing Of their devotion and their
patriotic zeal.
And for their health and happiness
a strong desire feel.
We speak about their leaving honlc
and friends and kindred d. nc,
Till our hearts swell with emotion
and we drop a silen; tear.
Our souls go out in sympathy when
from US they depart,
Upon two years mission, and Il,
fear and trembling start.
We dwell upon the trials and tie
harlships they may meet,
Or their many weary journeys. and
lhci, sore and blisteied feet;
And tie ycorn Of Christian people,
who in ignorance and pride,
Ignore their glorious message, an',
their warning words deride.
Of course this all is proper ahi we
heartily approve
The actions of our brethern in their
gathering of love,
And we would add our little mite
to cheer them on their way, 3
And if we could we gladly would,
sweet words of comfort say.
But l would call attention to another
potent fact,
That more than half our duty we
most certainly have lacked.
What about the loving sweethearts
and the wives that stay at home?
And oft in sorrow wonder how their
loved ones are who roam.
A person in the mission field at
fractions sees each day.
That makes it interesting as he
travels on his way.
Not so with wife or sweetheart and
the dear ones left behind,
No comfort from this source can
they at any period find.
And SO / say. that those who stay at
home and do their part,
Deserve the loving sympathy of
every honest heart;
So when we meet together and of
elders valors tell,
Let akind word from all be heard
for those who do as well.
AS well. say! Yes, better, too; for
who of us don't know
The sacrifice is greater for the ones
who stay than go.
The ones at home oft. wonder ii
their loved ones have a spot,
To lay their, weary heads at night
in someone's cot.
Oh! how we'll do remember, when
in young and manly pride,
| left my loving parents and my dear
intended bride.
How my soul went out in sympathy,
when down their cheeks did
flow,
The tears that told a sorrow. deeper
far than outward show.
And then learned lesson. which
/ think that all should know,
1t is harder on the ones at home,
than the ones that go.
So when we meet to celebrate the
deeds of valor done,
Or offer words of loving cheer to,
the departing one,
Just bear in mind a duty that you
owe to those whose hearts
Are bursting and through which the
singing pang of anguish darts.
All hail to those whose faith in God
and in the gospel plan,
Leave home and loved ones, to do
what good they can
In teaching a beknighted world the
truth from heaven sent.
To rescure poor beknighted souls,
if they will but repent.
And thanks be to our Father, that
our brethren here tonight.
Have returned in peace and safety
from their battle for the right.
Thrice blessed be their loved ones,
who have proven ever true.
But may our heavenly father on
their pathway strew,
The choicest gift of heaven that
will fill their hearts with cheer.
TS the wish of ono that holda tbo,,o
