GREAT IS THE cHAUTAuoUA
institution Has Established Itself Firmly In the Hearts and the
 Homes of All Americans.

Great is the chautauqua- Only those who keep in touch with the small town and rural conditions can appre- ciate how great is this highly modern movement, how widely it has spread. how intensively its promoters are cul- tivating the territory. how edifying and uplifting and soul-satisfying it has become. Even to the student of the chautauqua it is surprising to find that nowadays the town of 1,200 to 1,50O population is regarded as backward" unless it holds chautauqua assembly in the course of the summer, with four or five days of oratory, music. lee lures, humorous entertainments and classes for instruction along various lines. This year considerable num- Der of the smaller towns in Missouri, to mention but one state, are to be Initiated into the chautauqua order. Next year other towns, catching the happy infection. will fall into line.
 Until times comparatively recent the ordinary town relied chiefly for It's public entertainment upon the Fourth of July oration delivered by some politician of more or less note, who poured forth spread-eagle pyro- technics from the lofty height of plank rostrum built for the occasion In the picnic grove and was heard only by the graybeards, while the younger element was popping fire crackers, drinking pink lemonade, dancing the pre-tango steps on rough board platform under the trees, and otherwise diverting themselves so that they might miss the agony of hearing the Declaration of Indepen- dence read monotonously by the town clerk or the high school principal. The cld-time Independence day oration still is heard here and there, but the chautuaqua has diminished it's glory.

As like loans are to be used for bridge purposes only. this will be so used, and the fifteen thousand dollars designat- ed by the legislature will be used for road building; ten thousand dollars on the road east from Winslow and five thousand dol lars on the road east from Hol- brook. Repayment of this loan is made from the seventy-five cent fund of the State road tax and interest at the rate of five per cent is charged on all defer red payments. third of the county annual apportionment must be used for this purpose.

The Father of ALI Novels.

A great branch of literature, un- doubtedly the most widely popular and one in which England showed the way to the world, is the novel. In the year l74O readers were de- lighted with a new kind of book, prose romance not of legend, but of their own day and manners. It was the pioneer novel, was called Pamela" the work of Samuel Richardson, a London printer, and the great success it met with soon brought forth a host of others.

ATTRACTIONS OF CAMP

One of the attractions of the camp is a Mexican orchestra which ren ders frequent concerts and plays for impromptu dances. Every day hunt ing parties go out and come back laden with quail and rabbits. Now and then a deer is brought in.
 Until few days ago reports were persistent that strikers were coming down from Clifton to destroy the colony. Many of the strikers be leved that it was really a concen. tration camp for strike breakers and that when the time came an attempt would be made to take possession oi the mines and works. A committee of Duncan business men went up to Clifton to explain that this was not the case. that the refugees would be the last persons in the world to start trouble. As a result the mu, tual feeling of distrast existing be tween Duncan and the strike zone has largely passed away.
 The refugee colony is without a definite name. Frank Mclean. may or of the colony, has offered s10 to the person suggesting the most suitable name. He asks that sug- gestions be mailed to him at T n. can.

, DUNCAN. Ariz.. Nov. S.-Nearly 400 strikers from Clifton, Morenci and Metcalf are living at the Dun can refugee camp, where the Shan non, Detroit and Arizona Copper companies are feeding, clothing and housing, absolutely free of charge, all their former employees who care to join the colony.
 These companies have adopted new and unique plan in meeting their industrial troubles. They ap- pear to regard their workmen as wards to be taken care of in times of stress. Hence the Duncan camp.
 ALL ARE WELCOME
 Any former employe who desires to join the colony is made welcome No questions are asked. It makes no difference if a man has been strike leader and a rabid Western Federation man. he is told to make himself right at home.
 Every train from the north brings its quota of refugees from Clifton. Morenci and Metcalf, while scores have walked from the strike zone to the refugee camp. The trains are closely watched by the strikers. who have given orders that federation members must remain in the district til the strike is settled, but a great many are eluding the vigilance of the pickets Many have got away from Morenci by pretending to go over the hills for wood
 When a single man arrives he is assigned to a bunk and a place in the mess hall He is also given a credit slip good at the Duncan stores for clothing. tobacco or any thing else that he may reasonably desire. A married man is given a furnished tent for himself and fam fly and supplied with a credit slip good for food as well as for cloth ing and tobacco.

Moneu Bonoped For Bridges

At the last meeting of the state legislature, fifteen thous- and dollars was designated to be expended in Navajo County for roads and bridges. This sum was indicated to be taken from the twenty-five cent fund of the State road tax. It has been the general supposltion that this would be used for the construc- ticn of the bridge over the Little Colorado River, three miles above Holbrook. Upon repre- seutation by the state engineer before the board of supervisors this week that it would cost about twenty thousand dollars to build the bridge according to his plans, and a request that the county apply for loan from the state.

THE EARLY FRUITS.

ONE # the marves of modern life is the early date when spring
fruits n vegetables begin to appear in the markets. Some years &
they almost Away went north in Il wilted condition. With modern facni
ties, thesc products of southern ATTITUDES appear in northern towns at
this time If year, in marvelously fresh condition.
For tie great majority of people prcnaturcly carly food products are
a lmposs Die luxury. But the growing wealth of the country is sgnifed
by the III lbr of people who today feel that they can anord to buy these
early gard n products. For people OF mean, it is a hcalthnl way Of spend
stimulants.
Also TIT cst of thcse early products has not increased al much as
would expect They are raised in so much larger quantities that CON.
pelltion Keeps prices somewhere within reason. Regular markets having
