Telephone s0tem Being Rapidly RenoVated-Rapid progress is ber ing made on the campaign of reno yation of the Mountain States Tele- phone company's property in Clifton. This campaign is comprehensive, in cluding the replacing of all open wires with cables the rewriting of all buildings in which instruments are placed, the setting in places of new posts, and the installation of new equipment, entirely, in the ex- change offices.
 For the past two weeks a large force of workmen have been engaged in replacing open wires with cables and the work will soon be complet- ed. Cables will be placed from the exchange to Hills Addition, North Clifton, and Chase Creek. At pres ent the cables are Practically com pleted with the exception of that for Chase Creek, and this will soon be placed.
 MT. Papot, the manager of the system here, announces that a force of men will arrive within few days for the purpose of rewriting all buildings connected with the ex- change office. It Is estimated that this work will require several weeks. Upon the completion of the rewir- ing, work will be begun on the 1n- stallation of new equipment in the exchange. A modern switchboard, of 'capacity sufficient to care for the telephone needs of Clifton for many years to come, will be among the improvements here. Also a sound proof booth will be built for the ac- commodation of long distance pa irons.
 Men are now enea eed in nreDarine for the right of way for a modern long distance line into Morenci from Clifton, this line to extend on to Stafford, and other points in the Gila Valley, thus giving outlet from this section to all points in Arizona, and states adjoining. The route of the present line into Morenci is to be changed in places, and the present meager equipment of the line will be replaced with copper wires and posts of the best quality.

MEYERS OLD QUARRY. AGAIN IN THE TOLLS

Irish Jimmy Dunn, recently arrest ed in Albany for burglarizing a post office safe and released only to be re- arrested for a similar job upon the plant of a manufacturing concern at McAdenvil1e, North Carolina, is known as the most dangerous burglar in the country, making a specially of blow ing safes and particularly those of the post offices of the country. He is be- lteved to have robbed post offices from Maine to Georgia. Dunn was arrested about six years ago by Post Office Inspectors Jacobs and James and w. T. Meyer of this city, at that time also an inspector.
 The release by the Federal authori- ties in the recent ease is due to the fact that the United States laws pro vide only for a penalty of i've wears in prison upon conviction. while the laws Of North Carolina give much more severe sentence upon conVic- ton and the Federal authorities would be glad to have Irish Jimmy safe be- hind the bars for the rest of his life.
 Inspector Meyer, who figured in the former arrest, is now cashier of the post office in this city.

COMMERCIALIZED SUNDAY PROTEST
 OF l.. w. WILSON
Bridgeport Representative Con-
 denlns Measure in Strong s Terms
Special to The Farmerl

Hartford, May 1.-The indictment of Ahe commercialized Sunday. uttered against the Sunday bill. by Represen- tative Wilson of Bridgeport, was char acterized by some of the older mem bers of the House. today. as one of the most comprehensive arguments against such a measure ever heard in the House
 not bill to legalize out door recrea- 4ion and to encourage worship in the open air it is a proposition to make Sunday a day of labor, and to open the way to the conduct of fifteen or twenty different lines of secular business. From religious. economic, social and political standpoints it is equally of- fensive to good judgment and public policy
 -.It pretends. with respect to any particular attempt at commercia1iza.- tion. to grant local option, by ascer- fainiug the will Of the community.
 There Is only one way to ascertain the will of a community, which is to submit the question to the vote of the community.
 This bill does nothing of the kind. It leaves the determination to the will of the mayor whoever he may be Power of life and death over many lines of commercial effort would be granted to a single man. who would be sure to use them, such is frai1
  own political advancement.
 'sIt would be an intolera.ble sftua- ton, that one candidate should con- spire with business men, and another against them, to determine wh6tner they should labor on the Lords day.
 The whole proposition Is against ahe efforts Of civilized society to linn 1t the hours of labor. and to pro1ong the period for recreation, rest and worship
 We have passed in this House laws limiting the hours Of women and cfll1- dren, defining and shortening the hours of labor on week days Pass this bill and you throw them over board; our women and our children will not have a hfty-five hour week, but a f1fty-ffve hour week, plus the extra Sunday hours imposed upon them by the whim of some executive of some city
 The first and greatest labor measure of all the ages was the Sabbath. It should be kept free as may be from secular pursuits. The church and the labor union agree in this. To tkis truth ancient wisdom and modern ex- rerdence testify. Let us continue to keep Sunday as day for worship, rest and wholesome recreation Let ms continue to reduce the hours of la bor on the other six days of the week. as fast as the rational conduct of our society shall permit
