RAISE BEEF OR FAMINE.

CHICAGO, Sept. % The responsi-
bility OF averting a future famine was
put up to small farmers today by
speakers at the eighth annual cOnven-
tion of the American meat packers
convention here. All agreed that if
the decrease in meat production OF
the last ten years is not stopped, the
question OF meat supply for the peo-
pie of the United States will be most
serious. Among the remedies suggest
ed by the speakers were:
Every small farmer should raise at
least two beef steers a year to offset
the decreased production of the great
ranches of the West.
The remaining ranges should be
cut in farms to put all farmers on
an equal footing.
Development of the hills of New
England with their bountiful springs
and shade as a beef-producing coun-
try.
The substitute of corn for cotton
in the Southern States and conse-
quent development of the hog and
cattle production.

CONDEMN SEr!AiCR SMITH.

A Phoenix wOmen's organization
known as the Civic League, is max
ing it warm for Senator Marcus A.
Smith just because he will not come
out in favor of national women suf-
frage About month ago the league
addressed Senators Smith and Ash
urst, stating that its members, as
qualified voters of the State Of .Ariz-
ona, demand that. as our represent
ative i'm the United States Senate,
you cast your vote for the amend
ment giving universal suffrage to
the women OF the United States. y
Senator AShurst came through
with a letter in which. while not act
ually stating that he would vote for
the amendment, he said: 1t gives
me genuine pleasure OF say that there
are about forty-five Senator's who will
vote for the joint resolution" that

ment, and adding, Il really do not

ried about this question. Suffrage
is a matter for the States them
I<N.1h I
that the safest and surest way for the
spread OF woman's suffrage is by ap
peal to each State. Maine, Utah,
Arizona and California, with enough
other States to carry a constitution
al amendment, might be treating very
unfairly, Georgia, South Caroline and
Alabama, whose people do not desire
woman's suffrage. They have awful
problems before them in these states,
and l have no doubt that by and by,
in the ordinary course of events, they.
like Arizona and other advanced Stat
es, will have wOman'S suffrage as
a part of their laws. | am extremely
desirous of carrying out the wishes
of the ladies of Arizona and shall GER
tainly do all | can to bring the quesl
tion to a vote in the Senate, and
hope by that time | may see my way
clear to overcome some obstacles
which trouble me very personally
with you ladies'"
So the league has adopted some
resolutions, certified to by it's pres
ident, Mrs. Pauline O'Neill, and it's sec
retary, Mrs. Ruth Biddings, reciting
that Arizona has voted, to 1, for
suffrage, that the Western States
@re unanimous for equal suffrage

should voice the majority vote fol-
their constituents and that, I'VE the

work the lessees may do, but also
what they may not do. The lessor
should not stop there but should keep
careful check OH the operations OF
the lessees and hold them to the
terms of the lease. A too common
practice of greedy and unscrupulous
lessees of mines is to gut the property
of ore without regard to the damage
that might thereby be done to the
mine. Too strong condemnation can
not be given the practice of some
lessees OF thus damaging or running
mines in order to get out all ore pos
sible before the expiration OF a lease.

On October |, the civil and crimi-
nal procedure of Arizona will be rad
ically changed, in accordance with the
provisions Of the First State Legis-
lature. Inasmuch as the printing OF
the code, with a ninety-day delivery
clause, has been awarded only during
the past weektoaPhoenix firm, much
confusion is expected to result. The
difficulty will be met to a degree by
the immediate printing of a phamplet

To outwit the moth, brush the furs
or clothing put into the bags or wrap
ping and into the box or drawer set
an uncorked two-ounce bottle of chic

moths, but any eggs which may be in

Lemon jelly, or In fact any gelatine
jelles may be remolded il they are
carefully softened by heat. Do not
allow the mixture to boil, or it will
ruin the flavor. Pour into wet molds
and chill.
Melted ice may be used in cakes,
cookies and puddings. Chocolate ice
cream, with the addition Of little
gelatine, may be nodded and served as
a jelly.
Never throw away even a very small
piece of soap. Save all the laundry
soap in one dish, the toilet soap in an

into it to make a good soap for the
hands. The laundry soap, after melt
