 Anyway, guess those economical streaks are kind of peculiar to us men. Of course I'm not as bad as my wife says. l don't calculate that match ought to be burned at both ends before it's considered used up. But I've got some old clothes hang ing around that somehow l cant parr with

 Well, I went and looked over those neckties Some of them had been lying there for years. I'd hate to be caught wearing some of them. But. by love. when began Co look them over, they recalled so many old associatiouA that I simply couldn't bear to part with them.
 And then, I thought, who knows how they might come in useful some day? There vas a striped one that would do handsomely for a minstrel show some day. and a gorgeous polka dotted one that would grace the come dian in an amateur theatrical There were some sentimental ones 1 would not part with for a fortune, and some spoty ones that held memories that made them like old friends.

A MEPlTQRIOUs MEASURE.

MEASURE.
 Senate Bill No. 55 is most mer.- torious measure. There is no other before the legislature calculated to add so much to the wealth of the state. We have understood, however. that there is disposition to modify it's provisions so that it would prob ably be rendered intellectual if passed
 This bill proposes an appropriation of $2o.000 annually for three years, beginning with the present one, for the purpose Of enabling the state to make representation of it's mirer5l resources at the Panama exposition at San Francisco in 1915 and also to furnish funds for a geological survey of the mining districts and a descrip ton of the ore deposits of this statG
 From the earliest times, so far as the lawmakers have been concerned the mining industry Of Arizona mas received less encouragement than any other notwithstanding that it is .now and has always been the most in portant in Arizona. it has always given employment 10 more labor than any other, and it's products ar. nually have far surpassed those cf all other Arizona industries con. bined.
 When the territorial fair was in stituted it was understood that the money appropriated for it was to provide for exhibits cf the territorys varied resources. Yet, the appropria. tion for tLe mining exhibit was sJ small that it was ridiculous. The ex. hibit never could have been col!eclej but for the aid Of the large minius companies which were naturally less interested in such an exhibit than the prospector and the small, strur. gling mine owners. The agents wio made the collection did so for the pure love of the work They received no pay and we believe, their ,2x penses were not always paid out of tho public fund. Every other attache of the lair in every capacity was coI7 pensated for his time and efforts.
 However. this has nothing to do with Senate Bill No. 55, which seeks to procure atonement by the state. fof the territory's neglect of its chiefe5t industry and the one susceptible still Of greater development than any otA- CT. It has often been said that the surface Of Arizona has been hardly scratched" That is doubtless true and attributable to two causes. Out sideTs did not know that there was anything here to scratch" and those who suspected it diI not know where to scratch" Most of our great mines are the result of accidental discor' cries.
 Senate Bill No. 55 proposed to in form the world Of tine great mineral wealth Of Arizona and iu providing for a thorough geological survey. ta let the world know where scratch ing may be done with the greates; promise Of results.
 This is a bill in which every Ari zonaEa is interested--the miner own CT, the merchant the stocilman, ths laborer-every man who wants a I.gger market for labor ana for the products Of the soil!

From Revival Meetings.

The second week of the months
series Of INSTRUMENTATION revival
meetings, which closed with the SER
vices of Friday night, shows thirty six
conversions as the net results. The
largest number is reported from the
First United Evangelical church, where
twenty five came forward. During the
first week five conversions were re-
ported al the Baptist church, and in the
past week five came forward at the
United Brethren meetings. At an over

was received.
The meetings next week will be held
