 The Democrat is right in saying that in the past the producing mining companies have been generous in their aid for advertising Arizona, but is it to be expected that they shall bear the greater part Of the burden that would be entailed if the Democrats suggestion is to be carried out2 It is the land owner and not the mine owner who would secure the greater benefit. For the land owner and the merchant money expended for fsx> hibits at San Francisco and San Diego Is an investment. 10 the pro- ducing mine owner it is a contribution rom which he would expect no re- turn. It is possible that the mining companies of Arizona may do some thing of the kind but if so it will be an act of generosity upon their part.

THE WHITE SISTER

There is q deluge of dramas on the
stage today that are called problem
plays. These dramatic offerings for
.ttahs most part deal with an unfortun-
ate victim who through the wiles of
the .rillain is tricked into the primrose
path. There is class who delight in
such plot, but for the most part the
laws which govern the conduct Of wo-
men are irrevocable. These plays are
seldom finished when they are over to
use paradox, and leave a bad taste.
While they are pungent and striking
still they are not the kind one would
care to take his wife, mother or
sweetheart to see. The White Sister,
which comes to the Victor Theater as
the opening attraction for one night,
Monday, February 1st, is as clean as
the name implies. It deals with love
as no other drama has ever dared. The
play is a triumph Of righteousness and
commands the respect of every intel
igent and serious minded person in
America.

MAY LOSE BUTTER NAME
Dairy Commissioner Winkjer Says
Use Of Hand Separator is Chief
rs Reason

Minnesota s prestige as the banner
butter state Of the country is being
endangered by the hand cream sepa-
rator, according to State Dairy and
Food Commission Winkjer.
Mr.. Winkjer points out the danger
in. his biennial report made public
Wednesday.
The trouble is that farmers using
hand separators let the cream accu'
mnlate until they have supply suffi-
cient to pay them to haul it to the
creamery. For this reason it is never
as fresh. Also where cream so sepa-
rated is shipped long distances to mar
ket it is likely to spoil.
The creameries to which the farmers
haul their milk every day, the separat-
ing being done at the creamery, are
the ones that are taking the butter
prizes, says Mr.. Winkjer.

FINED FOR CONTEMPT
w. w. BARRON, ATTORNEY FROM
BRAINERD, FOUND GUILTY
OF CONTEMPT

w. w. Barron of the firm of Russell
& Barron Of Brainerd was arraigned
before Judge Of Probate E.. F.. Shaw
charged with contempt of court. He
was fined $25 and costs with the
ultimatum Of spending thirty days in
the county jail. A stay Of ten days was
granted.
On January II and 21 Barron, who
is the attorney in charge Of the claim
Of H. H. Baker of Brainerd against
the, Chas. Moores estate, wrote
two letters in which he stated that
he had not been treated with
common business courtesy, as his let
ters in regard to the decision in the
Moores' estate had not been answered.
In the latter Of the letters he states
that if he did not receive a reply he
would come here in person and ascer.
tain the cause why his letters were not
answered. These letters were received
during Mr.. Shaw's absence while he
was attending his fathers funeral at
Baltimore.
Being of the opinion that Barron had
not shown the proper respect in his
letters to the court, Mr.. Shaw sum-
moned Barron to appear before the
court on Saturday, January 25, and
show cause, if any he had, wh he
should not make an apology or pay a
fine for his style Of correspondence.
Deputy Sheriff Paul Felix served
the summons on Barron Friday and he
arrived Saturday to answer the charge
preferred against him. He interposed
a demurrer and an order for the
quashing Of the charge and desired to
have it fled but this right was denied
him.
The Judge states that it has been
customary to send copy Of tho de-
cision to the claimants Of an estate
and that in due time after q decision
was arrived at, the claimants in the
Mooers estate will receive copies Of
it. .-
The attorneys Of this city state that
it is the first time in their recollection
that an attorney has been charged with
contempt Of court in this county.
Several times, though not q usual
occurrence, persons have been arraign-
ed for contempt Of court because of
refusal to appear as witnesses but
never has there been case similar to
this one. 80

"EXPREsSED" BY POST
Fruit Cake Given to Express Company
Is Returned to Sender at Postoffice

Duluth News-Tribune: If you went
to an express office and paid dollar
to send a package to Canada and =
few weeks later received a notice from
the postoffice that your package was
returned because it violated the postal
rules, would it surprise you?
It surprised Mrs. A. M. Hall, 1923
First avenue East, who yesterday
learned for the first time that some
of the express companies of Duluth
were using the parcel post to deliver
packages.
A few weeks ago Mrs. Hall took a
fruit cake weighing six pounds to an
express office and paid 81 to have
it sent to Montreal. The fruit cake
was later deposited in the mails with
"a cents in parcels post stamps. It's
overweight was not noticed in the To-
cal office as the express company
figured out the zone rate and mailed
it. ~ ~'."t'.& ~
The package was refused in Canada
as it exceeded the most weight to
foreign countries, which is 4 pounds
and 6 ounces.
Postmaster General Hitchcock made
a ruling on Jan. II in which it is
held. that the parcel post system ap'
plies only to the United States and
when sending parcels :: ont Of the
country the regular stamps should be
used.
Mrs. Hall didn't remember what ex'
press company she gave the package
to, but with her fruit cake under he1
arm, she left tho postoffice yesterday
morning, determined to find out and
have the mistake remedied.
