Making Over Blankets.

An old blanket which seems to have
passed its days of usefulness may be
practically made over. Wash it and
cover on both sides with cheesecloth.
Tack it at intervals to form little tufts
with bright colored yarn. Overcast,
buttonhole or brier stitch the edges
with yarn, according to your time and
fancy. Thus you have new, durable,
sanitary bed cover which is pretty, in
expensive and admirable as throw"
for nap or coolish nights in summer.

CoIors For Stout Women.

Yellow increases the natural size of
stout women. Satin also makes her
look larger. Light blues should never
be worn, but dark blues may be chosen
according to ones complexion require
ments. White is stationary. Black,
seal brown, navy blue and the deepest
of crimsons are all tones that make
the wearer look simmer. Therefore
reverse this order and you will possess
a good line of colors for the thin wo.
man to adopt.

Some seem to think opportunity ought

1914 the House did this the same day the president made the request. In both cases the Senate took more time. The Senate in 1S46 received the measure on the same day that the president asked for it and the House passed it. The Senate considered it that day and the next, and passed it by a vote of 42 to 2. The house held a night session, and at once concurred in the senate amendment.
 The administration of Herrera and Huerta followed the same tactics in 1846 and 1914. Huerta seems almost reincarnatiOn of Herrera. Both fol lowed the policy of standing off the demands of the United States by ap- bearing to agree with them, but al- ways suggesting a modification which necessitated another delay. The same policy had been followed by Herrera's predecessors.
 The first overt act against Mexico was committed by | naval officer, Commodore Jones, in the nineteenth century and by a naval officer, Ad- piral Fletcher, in the twentieth
 The navy blockaded the Atlantic coast of Mexico at once, Commodore Conner being the Badger of 1S46. And Vera Cruz was the center of interest in both blockades. The navy perform ed some dashing exploits, but the real parallel to 1914 was on the Pacific coast, where Commouures Sloat and Stockton landed men and seized cities Sloat seized Monterey and San Fran cisco, as Fletcher seized Vera Cruz, before war had been declared, as far as he knew. In Sloat's case it had been, but he was not officially in formed of it for a month afterward; as there was no telegraph to Cali6or- nia in those days.

HOW LANGUAGE MOVES

Few scholars are aware of the great changes through which the English language has passed in successive cen turies, says the Scrapbook. Follow ing are specimens of the Lords prayer as used at various periods in English history.

EX-RANGER BILLY OLDS
 WAS KILLED BY WIFE

Word has reached the sheriff's of flee at Tombstone, of the death of Deputy Sheriff Billy Olds at Pearce, Friday. He was shot by his wife, the bullet striking him in the breast, and he died few moments after wards. No particulars of the shoot ing or of what was the cause were received. Sheriff Wheeler left at once for Pearce to investigate the circumstances of the killing.
 Billy Olds came to Arizona from Texas about twelve years ago. Be fore that he had been a member of the Texas rangers and after coming here under Captain Rynning and continued in the service under Captain Wheeler.
 Since the abolition of the Arizona rangers Olds has been employed as deputy sheriff.
 Mrs. Olds, wife of the dead man, was taken to Tombstone by Sheriff wheeler, ana IS detained at the cOun- ty jail. No charge rests against her. The sheriff and district attorney will consult and determine what course shall be pursued with Mrs. Olds.
 Olds retained consciousness after the shot; but he was speechless to the time of his death. Scott Gatliff and another man heard the shot and ran into the house. They helped place Olds on a bed. Mrs. Olds had previously told them that Olds had been shot accidentally. He shook his head in the negative. A few minutes later his heart ceased to beat.
 Olds was well known in Yuma.

HISTORIC FORCES AT WORK IN
 MEXICO

To have recognized Huerta and giv- en his moral support, would have been to deny all the proper tendencies
 of the age in which we live The civil
 war must have come in any case, for the people of Mexico would not have submitted to a government of tyranny
 established through treachery and as sassination. To balance the personal character of the bandit Villa against that of the soldier Huerta, was not to arrive at any conclusions worth the at
 tention of the student of politics and history. Villa came to the forefront because he happened to be a fight front because he happened to be fight ing man who had identified himself with an irrepressible revolution. This revolution means the breakup of an old regime. Whatever the results may be as regards the issues of war, there can be no return to the kind of govern ment in Mexico that formerly main tained order and that Huerta would have tried to perpetuate. As a result of this conflict there must be the clear beginning of system that will devel- op the peon into a citizen Mexico needs reconstruction. Those American military and civilian experts who have accomplished splendid police, sanitary, education, and other reforms in Porto Rico, Cuba, Panama, and the Philip pines, could render assistance of aA most inconceivable value to our Mex

dollars. It is none of our business how Rockefeller got his money, for we are not losing any sleep watching for burglars or adding up columns of fig ures to prove that man can or can , not make a million dollars honestly in a lifetime of one thousand years, more or less. But it is our right, and the right of the people generally of the United States, to enter protest concerning the acts of this man with reference to the Colorado coal strike, and to question the sincerity of his son. whom the old man says is the boss" in this particular instance, in managing a Sunday school class and in giving advice to the young men of 1 America as to moral turpitude.
 No matter whether the coal miners in the Colorado district are wrong or ] not, they never could be wrong to the same extent that man like John D. Rockefeller, hiding behind the mask and cloak of son who breaches reli- zion to a Sunday school class in New York City on Sunday and stays in the Standard Oil office week days, is wrong in permitting innocent lives by the scores to be sacrificed when he has the power to call halt.
 Tell us that the man who has con- trol of a situation like that in Colo rado can refuse to use power couch ed in his hands, which is supreme, to save the lives of men, women and children, and ever reach the "pearly gates" we hear so much about, and we will mock such statement, for 1t is a lie, a subterfuge, a disgrace to the man who utters it.
 John D. Rockefeller could have saved every life which was sacrificed in the labor strike of Colorado with one word, and he would not have known, so far as money is concerned, that he had spoken that word. Tell us that such man as that should have any standing with the people of this country, much less that he has favor with the God of universes and Master of destinies?
 Were the writer of these lines member of the Sunday school class Of John Rockefeller Jr., he would fear that. if such manifestations were pos sible, he would be stricken with bolt from the skies while listening to the advice of a man upon whose head was the blood of the innocent women and children who bit the dust in Colorado in labor war which he could have settled without even missing a penny of his incomprehensible wealth, wrung from the sweat of the brows of the working men of America.

OUR BIGGEST REAL ESTATE CON.
 CERN

The Department of the Interior ot the United States does land business that runs into millions of acres. With. in the past few years Uncle Sam has been seriously taking up the question of larger homestead entries, and in cases where soil is not especially plu ductive the 160 acre limit has been increased to allow the settler 32O acres, thereby overcoming the difficulties where dry farming and grazing are necessary. Quites recently 600,000 acres in central eastern Oregon have been disignated to be opened to en- larged entry. There have also been designations of 2,47O in Montana 300.- 900 in New Mexico, 130,0OO in Arizona, 100000 acres in Wyoming, and 250,000 acres in North Dakota

THE BIG MAN

Like Henry E.. Huntington is to Los Angeles, and John D. Spreckles to San Diego, so is Eugene F. San, guinetti to this section. Yuma devef opment when in need of friend can always depend on Yuma's merchant prince.
 No city ever amounted to hill of beans that hadn't it's big man. Big men are not self constituted, but the progressive people who get behind and boost select their own big men. Many a man who thinks he is a big one can scarcely be seen crawling between heaven and earth.

|S THE
 BIC QUALIFICATION

l Just few words of warning to some
 of our timid and misguided near pro-
 gressives, who become panic stricken at the first intimation that there is go- ing to be stiff fight put up by those who are opposed to the Progressive l party, not so much on account if it's platform or principles, but for the
 reason that it stands between them
 and the political pie counter.
 A progressive who is not willing to fight and vote for his party principles and his party nominees, regardless of the chances of winning the election this fall is not worthy of the name, Progressive, and is not worthy to fol
 low the leadership of such men as Roosevelt, Beveridge and Johnson. A true Progressive will move in a straight line toward the common en-
 emy, the corrupt Republican boss and
 crooked big business combined with the subsidized press, regardless of the missiles and Instructions thrown in his
 way.
 The true Progressive would rather vote for Progressive Democrat any
 time than support an old line, stand pat Republican, for the reason that the | Democrats in their national convention | at Baltimore proved their ability to | regulate their corrupt political bosses to the rear, something the Republi-
 cans failed to do at Chicago; and at
 this time, are completely in control of that class of undesirable citizens. The rank and file of the Progressive party are made up of the class of
 citizens, who in times of war offer
 themselves as soldiers to fight their
 countyr's battles. They realize the fact that there are battles to be fought
 n times of so called peace, that re quire the same self sacrifice as are
 those in times of armed strife.
 The Progressive party, will, when
 placed in power, eliminate the condi- lions, that have caused the present
 great industrial unrest, and in some | localities actual war between labo-
 and capital.
 The Progressive voter who grows i'm
 patient and is looking backward to-
 ward that old decrepit, corrupt organi-
 zation to which he formerly belonged I and better repair to his closet, get
 down on his knees, and ask Him, the
 God of the universe for guidance, an6
 strength, and then, after having had | communion with 'the giver of every good and perfect gift which includes | wisdom and righteousness, he still re. | tains any longing in his heart for re-
 union with the old stand pat gang, he
 might as we'll go back, for he is a lost | soul, the Devil has claimed his own.
