THE PRICE OF WOOL

Raw wool is free of duty under
the new tariff. Naturally importa-
tions of wool have increased since
the act went into effect; but the
price of wool in the United States
is higher than it was a year ago,
when the article was subject to a
heavy duty.
The journal of Commerce reports,
in fact, that in only two years out
of the last twenty five have domestic
wool prices been higher than at pres
cent. Trade experts account for
this phenomenon on the ground that
there was an unusually extensive
slaughter of sheep year and half
ago bv growers who expected that
wool prices would drop out of sight
under the new tariff. If that theory
is correct the new tariff autOmatical-
ly Cancelled itself, so far as the pre-
sent effect on wool prices is con-
cerned. We all get excited about
politics sometimes. and lose sight of
the large fact that, after all, legis-
lation is only one factor among
twenty.

THE. 80 PER CENT LAW

Quite a howl has gone up in some
of the papers over the 80 per cent
law" and claims have been made
that the enforcement of the law will
depopulate the mining camps.
The facts regarding the 80 per
cent law" are that it will protect
American born minors of the United
States under 2l years of age against
the foreigners. But the law does
allow qualified electors or ali native
born citizens of the United States
to be employed at the mines or
elsewhere.
The law expressly states that the
employer shall employ not less
than 80 per cent qualified electors
or native born citizens of the United
States or some subdivision thereof. "

BREAK THIS GENTLY

In my own state, which is a great
manufacturing community, in the
city of Elizabeth, is a great plant,
known as the Singer Sewing Ma
chine plant. employing 10000 hands.
We put their products on the free
list. We were told on all sides in
Elizabeth that we were inviting
calamity and were inviting our own
defeat to advocate putting sewing
machines on the free list; but what
has been the result? 1t has been
the annual custom, at this time of
the year, of the Singer Sewing Ma
chine Company, during every year
that have had any knowledge of
it--and they have been there twenty
years or more--to close down for
one month, as they said, for repairs
and for other purposes. Within the

the Elizabeth Journal, the property
and voice in days past of the dis

entirely changed, and instead of
closing down the plant for four
weeks this year, they notified their

SWEETEST OF ALL

If all the babies on the earth
Are half as sweet as you,
And all the people knew their worth
And loved them just as true
AS love you, my pretty toad,
How different things would be,
For ev'ry man would have load
Of kids upon his knee.
And ev'ry kid would have home,
In ev'ry home kid
Would chase cat from base to dome
Just as his parents did,
Then ev'ry child would have some toys,
Just lots of pretty things,
There'd be jackknives and sleds fol
boys,
The girls have dolls and swings.
There'd be no kids to run aroun'
Out in the streets all day,
Instead of being down in town
They'd stay at home and play,
Or else they'd get their books and &c
To school as children should,
And teacher'd help them cause they d
Their lessons and be good.
And then I'd want great big home
With 0, so many rooms
All covered up from base to dome
With pretty vines and blooms.
And then I'd want great big lawn
With flowers everywhere
So that the girlies, every morn
Could play without care.
And near the house running creek
Filled to the overflow
Where all the little boys could sneak
And in swimming go.
And then I'd have just lots of trees
To hold the girlies' swings,
But shucks I'd need hundred knees
To hold my pretty things.

TRY THIS

A man with an uncanny manis
for Juggling with figures. producing
pencil and paper, commanded a
friend to put down the number OF
his living brothers. Multiply by
two. Add three. Multiply the re
suit by five, Add the number OF
living sisters. Multiply the result
by ten. Add the number of dead
brothers and sisters. Subtract Isl
from the result" 1t was done.
Now" he said, with a cunning
smile, the right hand figure will be
the number of deaths, the middle
figure the number of living sisters
and the lefthand figure the number
of living brothers"
And it was so.

SOME GRUMBLER

The grumbler is always with US.
He is a constant menace to our
nerves and we dread to meet him.
Nothing is done right, according to
his ideas, and although we have two
freight trains each day, he will not
get under one of them and let the
wheels grumble him into another
existence. We never meet him but
what we think of the following
story:
There was man who grumbIed
at everything
He wasn't satisfied even when
they tried him for murder and SEN
fenced him to be hung.
He grumbled about his cell by
day and about his mattress by night,
and on the morning fixed for his
execution, he grumbled about the

rest of the year.-By Senator James

BOOST THE COUNTY FAIR

| Inc Granam COunIy rdlr lnlS year
must be a success. The fair com.
mission has started out with the
firm determination of holding the
best county fair ever held in the
State and it is going to succeed in
every plan it makes for a record
breaking exhibition of the products
of the county.
Every man and woman in the
county is interested in the fair this
year more than ever, for it means
so much to all of us to have made
it the greatest, best and most inter,
esting county fair we have ever held.
We are all partners in the county
fair and each should do his or her
share in helping the fair commission
carry through its plans that will
bring Graham county to the front.
The fair commission invites the
cooperation of every farm products,
farm machinery and other things
pertaining to the farming industry
shall be on larger and grander
scale than ever before seen at a
county fair.
The fair commission also wishes
to have the active cooperation of
every business man in the county in
the conduct of the county fair, as
there is much to be done on lines
that the business men are especially
interested in, for a successful county
fair is one of the best advertise
ments that the business men of this
county could wish for.
The women of the county are
and should be more interested this
year in the county fair than ever
before. The fair commission wishes
to make the woman's department a
special feature of the fair, and this
can best be accomplished by the wo
men cooperating with the commits
sion in this work.
The teachers of the public schools
of the valley, as we'll as the Gila
Academy. can do much in a united
effort to have fine school exhibit,
one that will show the progress be-
ing made in our schools.
Graham county was the first
county in the State to institute the
annual county fair and every effort
should be put forth this year to
make it the banner county fair of
the State,
we are all interested. IL Is our
fair. We have the finest fair grounds
in the State and race track second
only to the Phoenix track. Our
races this year will bring together
the best race horses in the country,
horses that are entered for the big
stake events at the annual State
fair this fall. We have plenty of
room for exhibitions of every kind
and we can have the finest exhibits
that were ever placed before the
people anywhere.
Let US get together now and boost
the county fair and Graham county.

THE OFFENSIVE.

Rather oddly, it would seem, Ger
man military commentators are now
pointing out that Russia is a defeat
ed power because, they say, Russia
has failed in its offensive. 1t started
out to invade Germany, and has been
stalled. They, say that for a great
army to take offensive and fail in
it, is defeat
Assuming that the German an
alysis of conditions in Poland is true,
as to the weakening of the Russian
offensive and its failure to carry on
to its goal, surely the same analysis
must conclude that Germany has
failed at the west. An offensive army
cannot fight on the defensive. Yet
the Russian offensive in the east, and
the German offensive in the west,
have both been on the defensive a
good share of the time since the
war opened.
There could hardly be a more
graphic statement of the deadlocked
condition of the campaign at this
time, or a better justification for the
prophecies that the war has years
yet to run.

WORK, NOT CHARITY.

New York is meeting the problem
of its unemployed by commission
on unemployment and relief. In other
cities as a rule this burden is left
largely to the various charitable or
CARNATIONS which, in doing construc-
tive work among the needy and de-
pendent, endeavor to make them
self supporting. There may not be
the same need in minor cities for a
commission on unemployment as in
the much larger city of New York,
where the problem is far graver.
But everywhere the great need is
for work first and charity next. The
New York World puts it:
The great mass of these unfortunates
do not want aims. but work. They are
not looking for charity. but for the
chance OF earning a living. To center
effort on providing a gratuitous support
Is 10 roll up the problem In ever-increas-
ing proportions.
Productive work even in this distract
ed time has not become so rare boon
as to go by fsvor and not by worth.
Private capital is becoming exceptionally
abundant as the war scare wears down.
Public undertakings have been planned
and even financed which can be lone
to greater advantage now than later on.
Our own city unfoTtunates need work.
and all that is wanted to provide them
with work is more confidence and enter
prise and generous consideration and
faith in the future on the part OF our
business men.
Organized charity has helped won
derfully to direct relief work into
proper channels and prevent dupli-
cation Of effort. But its greatest
good to the community is the con-
structive work it does in putting
the weak and dependent upon their
feet and taking the burden Of their
support off of society. This is a
work in which the general public
can cooperate to larger extent
than it now does. It can aid the
present situation materially by Civ
ing money. 1t can aid more sub
stantially by helping the various
charitable organizations to find en-
ployment, temporary or permanent
for those dependent upon them.

The Turks promised, but being the

adequate provision for getting the
English colony out of the city at the
critical time, when there was great
danger of fanatical outbreaks and
bloodshed. Mr.. Morgenthau under

that called for the privilege of get
