his product, and which in effect is merely his statement guaranteeing to assume all litigation that may accrue through the sale of his products.
 Congress will be urged to pass measure, and also to provide a law to fix the standard for all food products. In this connection it may be said that for many years there has been an at tempt made to secure a place in the cabinet for the administrative officer of the public health, and there have been many bills pending before con- gross, seeking to create greater pow CTS in reference to the manufacture, labelling, and sale of foods and drugs. In all probability this legislation might have succeeded better but for the fact that it has had for it's spon- Sers institutions like tie American Medical Association, whose political activities have brought them very close to the Hobby" class. The re- suit has been that patent medicine manufacturers and others have been in a position to successfully flight back" and instead of obtaining some good legislation that is undoubtedly great ly needed, the conflict between these interests has resulted in a deadlock.

10 BALES DAILY FROM
 CHANDLER COTTON GIN

CHANDLER, Ariz., Dec. 2.-Ten bales of cotton are being turned out by the Chandler cotton gin each day.
 The average cotton production in the Chandler district this year is above bale to the acre. It is just little bit higher than the most san- guine expected that it would be. No estimate can be made of the acreage that will be planted next year, but since the farmers are realizing such big profits it is certain that they will devote vastly more land to that crop.
 The latest improvement at Chand- Ter is an up-to-date set of stock yards just completed by the Arizona Eastern company. Chandler is becoming an cattle shipping point.
 Thousands of head of mountain cat tie are fatted on the alfalfa fields of that district each year.

O'SHAUCHNESSYs DIPLOMACY
 HAS SMOOTHED DELICATE POINTS

ficials may think of President Wilson and the rest of us, Nelson O'Shaugh- messy is not responsible for any of the friction or irritation that exists. It may be said, of course, that he has been aided by the advice of John Lind in the negotiations that have been pending for the last few months; but it is a safe guess that O'Shaugh- messy has been of more value to Lind than Lind's advice has been to Nelson O'Shaughnessy.
 It is gratifying to note that the state department has recognized MT. O'Shaughnessy' value and has spok- en in high praise of his services. If he does not move up to a higher posi- tion in the diplomatic service at no very distant day we will have to re- wise our opinion of President Wilson.
 But, after all, what else could, you expect of a man named O'Shaugh- messy y?-Tucson Citizen.

MILLENNIUM

When the last hobble skirt is for
 gotten,
 And the last new fad has been tried When the pannier fashion has faded And the "hipkess" craze has died, We shall rest, and faith, we shall need Be at peace for a season or two, Till the next freak or folly arises To torture our souls anew. And those who survive shall be happy, They shall fling away pounds of hair; They shall sit all day without aching, At ease in a rocking chair; They shall wear their own faces and figures,
 They shall walk as far as they
 please. And be able to cross a puddle Without sprawling on hands or
 knees. And few of the men will praise them, And none will admire the sight; For no one will dress for fashion, And no one for mans delight; But each for her own sweet comfort, And each in her own sweet way, Shall wear the things that she wishes, But the gods will weep that day.

 WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. D. While the country has long been heap ing it's laudations upon the pure food laws the severest critics of the pres ent statutes relating to that subject are found among those who have to administer the laws. At a recent con- ference of state pure food commission CTS and officials of the Department of Agriculture, it was declared that the federal pure food law is entirely in- adequate and that it should be re- pealed, to be replaced by more effec tive statutes.
 The chief point of attack pertains to the section of the law which per mits the use of a guarantee label to manufacturers. This is declared to be misleading to the people, most of whom believe that the products are, guaranteed by the government. AS a matter of fact, the only purpose of the label is to relieve the retail deal CTS from responsibility of being prose euted by users of goods, and to shift the prosecution to make the liability fall upon the manufacturer, who is identified by the serial number upon

final prominence to Madero The lat ter knew of his poweress-for Huerta is a great fighter-and made him his most prominent general It was put up to him to vanquish Orozco. Huerta did beat the rebel leader at Bachimba, but Orozco escaped to the north. It is said that this campaign netted him be- tween $5,OO0 and $1O,OOO a month il- legally. In his later conflict with Za- pata, Huerta gained his chief glory by firing at Zapata's troops while the lat ter were in a barley with Madero! Thus Indians recognize the laws of truce!
 ''The white blood in Huerta crops out as it nearly always does in half-breeds. in bad traits.
 He fights like wild cat. That's Indian.
 "He drinks like fish, That's the half-breed.
 "He1is a most licentious man. That's also the half-breed
 "Of these things Huerta is not ashamed. Indeed, on the other hand, he is proud of them. He is dissolute, always has been dissolute and intends to remain absolute to the end of his daysl
 "Only recently, in a gathering with some fellow officers at a grill, Huerta, in the spirit of joking inquired if any one remembered the time when, on the field, he siezed the wife of some one of his privates and, when the sol dier begged for her, he threatened to execute him.
 "Woman's virtue or mans integr-,y, as conceived by the twentieth century moral code means absolutely nothing to the man who laughs Uncle Sam in the face.
 "As matter of fact, Huerta intends to have his way abuuC everything in his life. He likes rough, licentious, scrappy life. He is sitting on the throne of Mexico for exactly what he can wrest from it. He doesn't care anything about the reconstruction of Mexico. He cares only for money 'swag. The more he can get the bet ter. It is said in Mexico that he scar cely ever pays a contractor unless double the amount of the bill is taken from the state coffers!"

If, when the muddle in Mexico is finally cleared up, a distinguished career in diplomacy is not opened up for Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the Ameir- can charge d'Affaires now in charge of the embassy in that country, we shall be greatly surprised and shall believe that an injustice has been done
 Prior to the sensational recall of the erstwhile Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson from his post, there were few people in the United States who had ever heard the name of Nelson O'Shaughnessy Now there are few who have not heard this name, and fewer still who will deny that it would have been far better for all concerned if he, instead of Wilson, had been ann bassador from the beginning. Indeed, in view of what we now know of MT. Wilson, it is not at al unlikely that the tact of O'Shaughnessy was alone responsible for his holding office as long as he did.
 O'Shaughnessy has done nothing spectacular or brilliant. That is just the point. The spectacular and brilli- ant have little place in diplomacy. But O'Shaughnessy has been "oh. the job" every minute of the time, and in a situation where he has had thou sand opportunities to make mistakes he has not as yet made one.

CONGRESS WANTS
 THE PENNY POSTAGE

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec D. One-cent postage promises to be one of the live issues to be fought out in the regular session of congress. No fewer than a dozen bills already have been introduced, and it is said about half of these provide for penny post age outright.
 It is pointed out by Members inter- ested in the general subject that the probable large increase in the parcel post revenue would make penny post age possibility without hampering the financial affairs of the postal ser vice. Others contend that the parcel post service should be given further opportunity to demonstrate it's earn ing capacity before possible large revenue loss to the Department is incurred
 Senator Burton of Ohio has mea- sure that provides for a first-class rate of one cent per ounce. Several other bills establish the one-cent rate where delivery is to Sbe made within the limits of the postoffice where the matter was mailed

PEN PICTURES OF TREATMENT
 MEXICANS

A correspondent of the London Times, who recently journeyed to Her mosillo for the purpose of interview ing General Venustiano Carranza for his paper, wrote the following pen pie ture of the Constitutional leader:
 file is a great reader: his serious studious face with deep vertical lines between the brows ,betrays the pale cast of thought. His eyes gleam pa- tiently and kindly through spectacles. His hair is dark still, but mouth and chin are hidden by heavy gray mus tache and beard, though the cheeks are shaved. His voice is gentle and his movements deliberate. He sits perfectly still listening to questions and answers them without hesitation, in an even tone, his hands loosely clasp ed, his eyes searching his interroga- tors face to see if his meaning is made clear"
 In the interview he is quoted as say ing: "Huerta outraged the constitution when he overthrow and murdered President Madero. He continues to outrage it when he attempts to govern it despotically as did Diaz, and refus- ing to administer fairly the laws which are equal for all. We Constitu- tionalists refuse to recognize who is returned at the fraudulent election. We shall execute anyone who does rec ognize him." The Times correspon- dent thought he must have been mis- taken or misunderstood Carranza and asked him to repeat the statement. The general did so with added em- phasis. ''To hear this scholarly and amiable old gentleman define so blood thirsty, and to us, so utterly unreason- able line of action made feel as if l was dreaming" says the English news paper writer.
 Such is the picture presented to the world of the Constitutional leader by an Englishman ,who is a disinterested observer, and following is a picture of General Victoriano Huerta, provisional president of Mexico, upon whom the United States government has repeat edIy visited peremtory notices that he must step down and out.

TERRIBLE LOSS IF LIFE ON GREAT

The federal government is taking cognizance of the conditions of traf- fic on the Great Lakes; and it is well since Loylds of London lost $7,500,OV0 through insurance during the recent storms.

 The construction of lake vessels is good for favorable conditions, but they lack sufficient safety for storm, or for crafts laden with ice, as is often the case in the late season. It is quite clear that the Great Lakes have not made. the progress in careful navi- gation that has been developed upon the high seas, as there is lack of engine power, and the holds of ships are not as a rule so divided that the cargoes can be prevented from shift ing.

MIX Inspection

With all the agitation that has been going on for years over purity in milk, it is somewhat surprising to learn that out of 184 American cities reporting, only forty-three spend five cents or more per capital to safeguard the public from the charges of dirty milk. It is further found that twenty cities-some of them containing more than 50000 inhabitants, reported that they were not spending any money for milk inspection. Bellingham, in the state of Washington, has won the booby prize, as although it reports milk inspection, the per capital spent during the past year was one-tenth of one cent. On the other hand, Way cross, Georgia, spent nineteen cents per capita.

 The birth rate of the native born Americans is decreasing. That has come as a result of prosperity, ease luxury and increased opportunities to pursue selfish pleasure.
