And another resultant this IL the
point which ! want to bring out today
especially-would be that much better
equipments for housework would be
Immediately installed in the homes
For no man would put up for a month
with the makeshifts and make works
which the average woman endures.
One morning CHANGED to be in the
kitchen of woman who does all the
work for her family Of eight. She was
making the toast which IL invariably
part of their breakfast. In turning the
toaster she dropped two pieces Of
bread and burned her hand getting
them back. I'm always doing that"
she explained Its that horrid old
toaster. It's been broken for months
end ought to get a new one" And q
new toaster would probably have cost
about quarter.
l remember in our own kitchen an
obstinate egg beaten which struggled
frantically against performing its duty.
!! At conservative reckoning 1t must
have taken twice as long to beat an
egg with that instrument Of nerve tor
ture as 1t should have. Yet we made
shift with that miserable thing for at
least a year. And you can get good
egg heater for twenty cents!
The other day assisted with the dish
washing in . summer cottage. There
was no scourer There had not been
any all summer That meant that It
had taken about three times as long
to wash the pots and kettles every day.
Again and again ! have heard that
woman complain that she didn't get
as much time to be out OF doors as she
had hoped. And a scourer would cost
ten cents!
Homework is hard work at best; its
infinite demands eat up an astonishing
amount Of time. All too many women
had sad reason to quote
MANS work is from sun to sun,
But woman's work is never done"
Surely then eveH housewife ought to
have the best possible equipment.
Sometimes their failure to Is due to
economy: sometimes it's Just careless
ness. If It's economy, it's false econ
omy; If it's carelessness. it's very fool
ish and a waste OF energy.
Every woman owes 1t to herself and
her family to have as much time for
rest and recreation as possible. The
! intelligent, modern woman Is coming
to realize this and to know that per-
feet equipment will help her. A pro-
fessors wife who decided to enlarge
her husbands income by doing her own
work. at once perfected her regulation

Men insist that they cannot do their
work satisfactorily unless they have
the best possible equipment.

U. S. MAIL HELD UP BY BEAR
Mother With Two Cubs Stopped a Rural Delivery Man and Gave
 Him a Lively Fight.

A mother bear with a Bat Nelson battle gleam in her eye and an Ad Wolgast fighting crouch and her two little cubs held up Uncle Sam's mail in the road between Sandy and Mag mot and gave c. M. Bailey, rural mail carrier on the route, the time of his life when he accepted her challenge Saturday afternoon.
 Bailey was driving leisurely along toward Sandy in his mail wagon be- hind his two sturdy horses when the bear popped into sight as he rounded curve She was standing on, her launches in the middle of. the road in distinctly beiHgerent attitude, her cubs frisking about her Bailey was so surprised that he pulled up his horses and waited for developments.
 He didn't have to wait very long.
 With a growl and a flourish of her
 forepaws the bear made for the mail carrier, the cubs waddling along after
 her on all 7 fours. 3Bailey's horses
 snorted in terror at. this unexpected
 move by Mother Bruin and whirled
 about in the road so sharply that the WdSOu WoS Qp5C( anu lloli anu A1oiA carrier spilled out in the dust. As Bailey picked himself up he pulled his, automatic revolver out of his pocket and fired at the bear. which was almost on him. The bullet went true, and she rolled over in the road, snariing and clawing. She seem ed to have enough of battle, for the next minute she picked herself up and scampered off into the woods with the cubs, leaving trail of blood behind her.
 As soon as the shaken Bailey could collect himself he caught his horses, which had stopped after running a short distance down the road, and with the aid of party of autoists that came along soon after he righted his wagon and hitched up.-Morning Oregonian.

A Narrow Escape

A Mexican had a narrow escape from death Wednesday noon when the Deluxe train passed through here. He was taking a rest near the end of the west walk from Fray Marcos and sat down too near the track, laying down his bundle of clothes beside him. The train came whizzing by and the suction drew his bundle under the train and he came near going with the bundle. The bundle was carried as far as the freight depot when it caught on the crossing and what was left of it rescued. The Mex will robably seek the mountain side the next time he wants tc go to roost.

May Have Been Sullivan

It is believed from the descrip- ton of Jack Doyle. who jumped from a moving train near Jerome Junction on Friday afternoon, while being brought to Prescott to appear before the hext grand jury, says the Journal Miner of the 14th, that he is Jack Sullivan, who is wanted at Flagstaff, where with three others he broke out of the county jail early in the week. While on the train he spoke with a decided brogue, while his facial blemishes were similar to those given in the description of Sullivan.
 Doyle was followed for several miles across the rolling plains of Lonesome valley by stranger on the car who volunteered to make the chase, and when last seen was going in the direction of Yaeger canyon. Night coming on, the hunt was abandoned and the -pur- Fuer returned to the Junction, ar irving in Prescott the next morn ing on the 3:05 train.

MAY TREsPASS IN ENGLAND
If You' Do No Damage It Is Easy tosWander Through Private
 Property.

At this season tit1is pleasant to leave the dusty highway and take to the fields. But many. .timid pedestrians are frightened away.iby the notice ''Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted" They need have noifear.
 As the law stands, any trespasser who does the smallest damage-in- jures fence, breaks a small branch, etc.-can be summoned before a mag istrate and fined. But if he does no damage, the landlord must bring an action at law and get an injunction. This costs lot of money, and unless the trespasser is a man of means the landlord won't bring his action at law. All he can do otherwise is to ask you to get out. If you go peaceably you can return an hour later, and repeat the visit as often as you wish. Noth- ing can be done beyond asking you to leave again. But if you resist, then sufficient force can be used;. and if you show fight you may be legally knocked down, your legs tied, and yourself bundled on to the road. < The landlord may, however, play some tricks on you. He can saw a bridge crossing stream, so that you will get a ducking, he can dig pit for you to fall into, and he can so fix the stile you are likely to cross that you will break. it, and then he can have. you up before the magistrate. If you don't commit any damage, how ever, you can trespass to your hearts content.-Answers. 1E

COMMITTEE BUSY ON

The committee on county divis ion, appointed by a unanimous vote of the largest mass meeting ever held in Williams, have been holding regular meetings for the past week and have under prepara- tion the proposed bill to be sub mitted to the legislature.
 It ia proposed shortly to call another mass meeting to raise funds for the expenses of the move ment, such as copying records and statistics, which later will be used at meetings to be held at Ash Fork and Seligman by committee that will be appointed by the mass meeting for this purpose. Some astonishing facts will be presented l by these statistics and if there is a reason that can be suggested against the proposed division, these statis- tics from both Yavapai and Coco nino counties will forever silence ] them. The proposed new county will be from the first year of it's existence first class county, some thing that it took the present county of Coconino fifteen years to accomplish.

 Dr. Andrew Carnegie told an au dience at Liverpool the other day that he had taken to library forming be cause his father did 1t before him. William Carnegie's efforts at library founding were, an Edinburgh contem porary points out, extremely modest as compared with the work of, his distin guished son. In 1908. MT. Carnegie's father was 8 journeyman weaver in Dunfermline. He and two other driv. CTS of the shuttle met, a2d agreed to convey the books they had in their re- spective homes to one house. The combined libraries only figured out 20 volumes. The pioneers were joined by other weavers, and they agreed to tax themselves to the extent of a few pence per month, and from this fund purchase new books. The little insti- tuition ultimately blossomed into the Dunfermline- Tradesmen's Library.
