New Band Organized

An enterprise that will be another
boost for Clio was consummated Thurs
day evening, when steps were taken
which will lead to the town having a
first-class brass band. Geo. Dunbar, of
Flint, one of the best band masters in
the state was here and assisted in the
organization of the band and for time,
we understand, will act as instructor,
although there are several good must
clans among those who are interested
locally. The first rehearsal of the band
will be held next Thursday evening
when the full membership will be de-
cided upon. Following are the officers:
A. j. Amadon, president.
Albert Chase, vice president.
Leslie Gillett. secretary.
VIM. Wooison, treasurer.
Clyde Willard. Ralph Gillett, Herr.
Loomis, committee on bylaws.

1t all to God In prayer. Civilization
strikes them a blow when It should
give them a crown. and their only
friend is he who broke bread with
beggars and said: Come unto me all
ye that are weary and heavy laden and

Oh, America. The land OF the free
and the home OF the brave. the
worlds custodian of chivalry, the
champion Of human rights and the de-
fender OF the oppressed-shall we per-
NIT our maidens fair to be torn from
the hearthstono by the ruthless hand
of destiny and chained to the plow?
Shall we permit our faithful wives,
whom we covenanted with God to cher
ish and protect. to be hurled from the
home to the harvest field. and our
mothers dear to be driven from the old
arm chair to the cotton patch?
In rescuing our citizens from the

sea-"women and children first?"
There must be a readjustment of
the wage scale of industry so that the
women can be taken from the field or
given reasonable wage for her serv-
ices. Perhaps the issue has never been
fairly raised. but the Farmers Union.
with membership of ten Million puts
its organized forces squarely behind
the issue and we now enter upon the
docket of civilization the case Of THE

The Knocker

An exchange gives a pretty good
definition of knocker when it says:
after God finished making the rattle
snake, the toad and the vampire, He
had some awful substance left with
which he made knocker. A knocker
is a two-legged animal with a cork
screw soul, water sogged brain, and
a combination backbone made of jelly
and glue. Where other men carry their
hearts he carries tumor of decayed
principles. When the knocker comes
down the street, honest men turn their
backs, the angels weep tears in heaven,
and the devil shuts the gates of hell to
keep him out. y

New Market for Ivory.

Although in recent years the ivory
imported into London has decreased.
the falling OF has been caused by d
new market having been created by
the opening up of the Congo free state.
The ivory coming from that region Is
now sold in Antwerp, so that when the
quantities sent to both markets ara
put together the total imports actually

A thing that is having much to do with assistance of Bisbee to larger popularity with the people of the valley is the fact that many miners are taking up and improving homestead and land en- tries in the valleys.

ARIZONA SETTLERS
 ASSURED OF WOOD
Homesteaders in the Southern
 Valleys Are Protected in Their Rights to Timber

Within recent years, many set. tiers have come into the San simon. Animas and Sulphur Springs and other Valleys in southern Arizona and New Mexico. To improve their home steals, a large amount, of fuel wood and pos'.s is required. Such material Is given to the settlers under free use permits from the ne.ghboring mountains which are within the Chir. icahua and Coronado National For. ests.
 The Forest Service reports that during the pas. year over 1500 cords of wood and 3O,OO0 posts were used by these settlers. While small sales of cordwood for mining purposes are not lost sight of, since the most ac sessible timber in the mountains is reserved for the use of the home steaders who are already on lthe ground as well as for those to come Although the most accessible post ma terlal Is being rapidly used, there is great deal of timber left in the higher mountains anl it is estima',ed that at the present rate of consump ton, the Forests of southern Arizona will be able to supply the demand indefinitely.
