Large Harvest of Oats.

Mr.. Bonham Hamilton is close
second to DR.. Prescott in the mat
ter of a large harvest of oats. Mr..
Hamilton has cut with his binder
upwards of 1900 dozen bundles.
Bundles tied by a binder are very
large. Had Mr.. Hamilton's grain
been tied by hand he would prob
ably have harvested in the neigh
borhood of $500 dozen bundles.
We doubt if the traditional Garter
was very far in advance of that
figure. The Advertiser has not yet
heard from MIR. w. A. Strom.

annual picnic dinner for the resi-
dents 1T the County Home which

Card of Thanks.

Idesire to express my profound
thanks and sincere appreciation to
nv friends for the many kind at

wife during her recent prolonged
illness and during her stay of five
weeks in the hospital in Augusta.
She is now steadily improving. Both

Edgefield Drummer rs as Hosts.

Larger and more widely adver-
tised gatherings have doubtless
been held in the beautiful grove of
Judge DeVore in the past but we
venture the statement that none of
these have been more pleasant or
more thoroughly enjoyed than was
the barbecue which was given last
Friday in compliment to the mer-
chants and other business men of
the town and county by the travel
ing men Of Edgefeld. These gen.
tlemen, twelve or fifteen in number
proved themselves to be most
charming hosts.
About the noon hour the invited
guests began to assemble under the
spreading oaks, Johnston, Trenton,
Augusta, Parksville, Plum Branch
and practically every rural commu-
nifty in the county being represent
ed. This meeting together of bus
mess men from all parts of the
county, representing both rural and
urban life, greatly strengthened the
ties of friendship and the bonds of
sympathy and fellowship which al
ready existed. Edgefeld's drum
mers are typical representatives. of
their clan or brother hood in that
they are a warm-hearted, hospitable
set. In planning for this ideal
gathering, they were prompted by
a desire to promote kindly spirit
between the men, who in person or
through the mails, have business
dealings with each other almost
daily. Another thing which caused
these knights of the grip to open
the food-gates of their generosity
and hospitality was that they de-
sired to show in a tangible way
their appreciation Of the splendid
patronage that has been accorded
them by the Edgefeld merchants,
both of the several towns and of
the country. And it is needless to
add that the guests received this
substantial manifestation of graft
tude in the proper spirit. The
hosts were warmly thanked and
quite generally commended for pro-
viding for 40 delightful an ocoas
ion.
While every moment spent under
the DeVore oaks was exceeding
pleasant, yet the crowning feature
was the feast which was spread up
on long table, about which 14O
men were seated. The committee
which arranged the details engaged
Mr.. Ell. 81. Sanders to furnish and
serve the dinner. The menu con-
sisted of barbecued pork, beef,
hash, rice, sauce, pickles, bread,
ETC., and the statement that it was
prepared and served by Mr.. Sand
ers, who always does everything he
undertakes in the best possible man.
ner. is equivalent to saying that it
was up to the highest possible stand
ard of excellence. Praise of the boun-
tiful dinner and the splendid man
ner in which it was served was
heard on every hand.
The hosts of the day were: T. K.
Lamb, Jerome P. Zimmerman, S.
F. Logan, G. E. May, G. M. Wates.
J. B. Kennerly, w. N. Fair, Allen
Samuel, w. J. Duncan, J. M. Law
ton, Dave w. Page, T. w. Car
vile, G. III. Thomas, Charles r.
Dobson, w. NJ. Dunbar and Thos.
K. Hoyt. The committee which
bore the heat and burden of the day
in the matter of planning and ar
ranging all of the details was COM
posed of Mr.. j. P. Zimmerman and
Mr.. WI. Duncan.

BARBER SHOPS WORLD OVER
America Has Most EIaborately Equip
ped Tonsorial Parlors.

One of the things which the Ameri-
can man travelling around the world
is very apt to miss is the luxurious
American barber shop, for in no other
part of the world are to be found the
elaborately equipped barber shops,
stocked with all sorts of creams, soaps
and perfumes and tonics for the skin
and hair which in America are so lib
era,ly distributed. The only cities
which supply the same sort of service
as that to which the American man is
accustomed from his barber are few
of the Canadian cities.
The barber shops of London, Paris
and Rome are much simpler. In many
the shops are run in back rooms con-
nected with stores for the sale of to-
bacco, newspapers or fancy goods.
Austrian barber shops are carefully
conducted, it being required that an
apprentice shall serve four years be-
fore he is permitted to open shop Of
his own. The apprentices get very poor
pay. For the first year the wages are
IL cents q week, for the second year
81 cents a week, for the third year 81
cents a week, and for the fourth year
s102 a week. They also receive tips
from their customers.
In Saloniki, BARRIERS charges are not
fixed, the barber accepting whatever
his customer chooses to pay. Many
patrons pay by the month, a monthly
payment of from Sc cents to s1.10 pay
ing for from three to seven shaves a
week. The laboring classes are served
mostly by travelling street BARRIERS.
The Harput barber places around
his customers neck a peculiar pan with
a semi circular piece cut out of one
side so that it fits partially around the
neck under the chin. Water Is poured
into the pan and the barber makes a
lather with his hands and rubs it on
the customers face, usually using his
hands for this purpose also.
In Bagdad the well-to-do members
OF the community have the BARRIERS

force the contract of purchase even
though it is not in writing.
TechnicaIites to Be Observed.
All suits to obtain lands that one
has purchased are suits depending
upon evidence of the contract. Let
ters and various memoranda in writ
ing are frequently the base of such
suits. When there is sufficient writ
ing to show that sale was intended
the next question is whether or not
the contract was completed in line
with the written memoranda. This
may depend upon the testimony Of
witnesses who were present when the
contract was made. The contract may
be established or repudiated by what
is called oral evidence, but 1t cannot
be changed or varied.
A written contract is supposed to
explain itself. 1t is held by the courts
to mean what the language of it Or
dinarily means among the men who
have drawn it and in the community
where SuCn contracts are Hldue. MeIi
are held to mean what they say in a
written paper; they cannot change the
effect of the paper by saying they
meant something else, or that there
was something to go in the paper that
was not in it, or that it says more than
they intended.
1t must be remembered. of course,
that fraud fnvalidates every kind of
contract, and a written contract OBJ
tanned by fraudulent means is no more
binding than any other: 1t is, in fact,
wholly invalid. But the law will hold
all persons who are competent to
take care of themselves in making a
contract to be responsible for their
negligence. If they can read they will
be presumed to have read the con-
tract; if they are persons of ordinary
intelligence they will be held to have
understood the terms of the written
paper.-Melville Davisson Post in the
Country Gentleman.

STATE TREASURER ASKS STATE BONDS
 FUR SECURITY
Arizona Banks Hedging State Bonds For Deposits of State Money Will
 Be Given Preference.

Banks willing to deposit state bonds as security for state funds are hereafter to be given the preference by State Treasurer David E. John son.
 Ysterday Treasurer Johnson sent the following letter to the banks of the state:
 Gentlemen: From this date this office is going to inaugurate a policy whereby the bank that feels disposed to place on deposit as security for the states funds, state bonds, in lieu of surety bonds, will be preferred by us in the way of deposits. Of course you understand that the law does not give us the authority to require state bonds, or any other particular kind of bonds, as security for the states funds; but we feel that it would be to the interest of the state to have state bonds on deposit for security of the states funds for more reasons than one One reason in particular is, as you well know, if you ever have occasion to sue on surety bond as A general rule it means a hotly con tested law suit. Furthermore, we are at this time advertising a $2,000,0Q0 issue of AZ per cent refunding bonds We feel that the banks of the state should be willing to carry at least as much of these bonds as the state treasurer would be willing to carry a depost for. We would be glad to hear from you along this line.
 We also wish to give notice that after the 1st of January, 1913, ac- counts such as yours will bear inter- est at the rate of two per cent per annum payable monthly. We have lately been in correspondence with all the state treaSurers of the United States and find that with but one or two exceptions that funds bear this much interest, and several of them more. You understand that your ac- count for at least the next six months will be practically in the nature of a time deposit, and inasmuch as most of the banks of the state pay inter- est at the rate of four per cent on time deposits, we feel that this will not work a hardship on you and will be quite an added source of revenue to the state. We would be glad to hear from you at an early date as to the maximum amount of state depos- it's that your bank would like to carry.
 Of course, after the tax money comes in, in January, this office will have a very large sum of money to place on deposit. Part of it will be only for a short time, but we will be in a position to treat the banks of the state much better as to deposits than we have in the past year.
 Trusting that we have made our selves clear on these matters and hoping to hear from you at an early date, we remain,
 Yours very truly,
 D. F. JOHNSON,
 State Treasurer.

STA I E NE " s
GENTLEMEN WILL ASK FOR NEW
 LAWS

The cattlemen of Arizona are going to make a determined effort during the sessions of the next legislature to have a number of matters of i'm portance to the cattle business attend ed to, and a number of remedial laws passed. These matters are now in the hands of the legislative commit sociation, and will be drafted into such shape as will permit them to- be submitted to the legislature, at least for discussion if not for actual pas sage. Many of them will also be submitted to Governor Hunt so that he may embody them into his call as subjects for the special attention of the legislators
 This legislative committee, above referred to held a two-hour session this week in the office of Secretary Bradner of the Live Stock Sanitary Board, and after much discussion, they decided to ask for law, the purpose of which shall be to raise a revenue for the purpose of maintain ing the live stock sanitary board and paying it's expenses and the expenses for the protection accorded the cattle interests by the statutes of the state, by means of direct tax on the head of cattle neat, horses, mules, burros, and hogs. This will relieve the sheep and goat men of the state from pay ing taxes for the support of the live stock sanitary board and will also re- lieve the cattlemen of the state from paying an indirect tax for the support of the sheep sanitary commission, making each industry pay for it's own protection. This question was vari- ously discussed at meetings of the Arizona Cattle Growers, held during the early days of the first session of the legislature, but the only outcome e of the agitation was to repeal the brand tax law, and then subject all property of the state of any class and character to it's pro rata of the sup port of these two commissions. This has proven, according to the best in- formation, unsatisfactory to the cat tie interests of the state.
 It is proposed also to ask for legis- lation establishing legal fence; to do away with all the dead brands now on the books of the live stock board by ordering that all live brands be again recorded; to give inspectors of the live stock board the power to seize stock to enforce the cattle law, and for an enactment requiring that all cattle from Mexico and infected dis tricts be dipped.
 The committee has not finished it's deliberations, but more meetings will be held until these proposed meas ureS are drafted into such shape as to meet the views of a majority of the live stock men of the state. These matters will be brought to the atten- tion of the Arizona Stock Growers association at it's convention, which will be held in Phoenix the day pre- ceding the National Live Stock as scciation this month.
