Some Dogsoned Fine Mutton.

A Warrensburg man who has been
missing meat from his smokehouse all
fall and suspected one of his neigh
bors, set trap by killing an old
family dog and dressing the carcass
to resemble mutton. Sure enough. it
was stolen at night, and the next day
about breakfast time, dropping in on
the suspects, he found them devOur-
ing the sheep" Being invited to
take pot luck" he declined, saying
he had just had breakfast, and then
told them of the joke he had played
on somebody" The family listened
without smile and then made an ex-
cuse to go out the back door. As the
visitor left heard voices out in the
back yard saying something that
sounded like New York. Clinton,
Mo-, Democrat.

Too Much Credit Business.

There is too much credit business
done in the small towns of the coun-
try and much of it will have to be
discontinued if the country merchant
is to compete mucn longer with the
mail order houses Many persons in
the small country towns ask for
credit-and get it-who do not need
it and do not deserve it, Every bust
ness should be conducted with as
little credit business as possible, and
the time is not far distant when
practically all of it will have to be
eliminated. On the other hand the
merchants who do extend credit are
often lax in making collections They
present bills perhaps or even once a
year when they ought to demand a
monthly settlement of all accounts.
The extension of the parcels post is
going TO compel the country merch-
ant to revise many of his business
methods and the first of them will be
to demand cash from people who ask
credit from the local business man
and send their money to the mail
order houses.-Sedan Times-Star.

then apply itself to about five or six
of the most meritorious propositions

The growth of language and chance

Thirty years ago people used the

words have exchanged places, or
significance. Recipe is the first word

the state fair Ever since the or ganization of the fair several years ago, the Indian residents of MaricDpa county and all Arizona have taken as much pride in the success of the fair as have their white brethren, and they annually eXpend as much time and substance in making it a sue cess as do the white race. This year was no exception to the rule. The students at the United States Indian school situated three miles north of the city, turned out nearly one thous- and strong yesterday and presented a parade that for general all-round precision and military bearing stamp ed it with distinction and reflected immense credit not only upon the Indians themselves, but upon the managers of that feature of the weeks events.
 There are no people in this section who turn out a greater proportion of the population to see the fair than do the Indians. To, the poor Indian :" has almost ceased to exist in this section. To. the wealthy. intelligent, patriotic, self-respecting Indian" has taken it's place. There were thous- andS of. them at the fair yesterday Many of them were graduates of the Indian schools, others of them fathers of students at the school, stiu others of them interested in the modern achievements of the race. To say that they were pleased st the show ing but poorly expresses the feeling they must have had as the steady ranks of boys and girls, to the mar tlal strains of an Indian band play ing modern music, marched by the grand stand, wheeled into quarter column and repassed before the throngs of spectators that were in the grandsta1d and on the fence
 The cadet battalion passed in re view before Major Grinstead, com mandant of the school, and saluted. with all the snap of veterans. Sol dlers in the grand stand and boxes spoke in cOmmendation of the fine appearance the students made and when the day was finally over the Indians had added another day of achievement to the many good things they have shown at Arizona's state fair.

would provide for the standardization of half of the reserves held by the regional banks in the proposed sys- tenn. This proposition would be placed under the complete control of a federal reserve board and would be located in Washington to be ad- ministered for the aid. and con venience of the entire banking sys- tenn.
 There was finally voted upon a proposal for the modification of the plan proposed by Senator Reed of Missouri. who suggested it as a means of composing the wide differences among the members of the commit tee. Senator Reed and Senator Hitchcock joined with the republi- cans in voting for the plan which was opposed by Senators Owen, Pomerene, Hollis, O'Gorman and ShafrOth.
 Senator owen was plainly agitated over the progress of affairs in the committee. After the vote on the Reed proposal he declared that if given an opportunity he would dem onstrate the plan would not work. Senator Reed declared that he was willing to be convinced and it was arranged that Senator Owen should

make an argument on the point to- morrow.
 This plan would deplete the re sources of the various regional banks to a degree which the supporters of the scheme have not thought of" said Senator Owen, after the committee adjourned tonight. T will under take to show that regional banks would be hampered and restricted in their rediscount operations if this plan prevails. The matter is still pending.'
 President Wilson sent for Senator Weeks of Massachusetts, republican member of the banking and currency committee, and discussed the situa- ton with him for an hour tonight It is understood that Weeks has compromise plan in which Senator Hoke smith of Georgia is said to have endorsed the interest of many Democrats and which would retain many features of the house bill and that the president told Weeks just what parts of the bill he considered fundamental.

 T!:e Cattle

 Frank Reed Sanders again came to the front with the Dutch Belted cattle, the prize herd of the United states, and comprised the sole con- tributor to the event in this lot with twenty splendid specimens
 Sanders and Butler, of Mesa, and the University of Arizona were the contributors to the Guernsey division of the parade, the former with seven head and the latter with three
 Though there Were not as many cattle shown in the Holstcin division as there were in some of the others, there were more men entered as owners in this line than in any save the Jerseys. George Kay. of Phoenix contributed two head: StanIed How ard, Of Glendale, 15: J. R. Bradshaw. of Phoenix, four. the University of Arizona, two, and c. w. Davidson. three.
 The Jerseys were the biggest line m the parade and there were more cattle enterd in this class than in any of tn others. Frank Loss had nine, Bradshaw. of Glendale, five; McArtllur, of Phoenix. six; University of Afizona, ,; N. II. Locke, of Cali fornia. twelve; w. Appletree, of Mesa twelve, and W. H. Bukey, of Mesa. eight

 BaTtIott-Heard Land and Cattle company were the sole contributors of short horns with eleven.
 Following in the wake of the cattle was the large float of the Palm Olive Poultry ranch of Glendale, showine, in profuse numbers the prize stock of that ranch. They were the beautiful and the tame white Ieghorn, one of the recognized best home and laying chickens.
