BLUE AID GRAY WILL
 MEET K WASHINGTON

Especial to the Yuma Daily Examiner)
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. l. AS a courtesy to the men who wore the gray during the Civil War, the Citizens Committee of Washington, has decided to extend an invitation to the staff officers of the Confederate Veterans Union to attend the Forty ninth Annual Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic which is to be held in Washington, September 27 to October 8. This action has been taken with the full accord and Appro- val of the officials of the Grand Army.
 The meeting of the Blue and Gray on the Gettysburg battlefield two years ago testified to the amicable relation ship existing between the two organi- zations and the invitation to the Con- federates at this time is in keeping with the spirit exhibited at Gettys- burg.
 Many of the veterans of the war w I1II SdISnOQ IuS lOO1- 1865 will answer the roll call for the. last time when the Grand Army of the Republic gathers in this city for the Forty-ninth annual encampment and Fiftieth anniversary of the Grand Re view, September 27-October 9 Most of them are seventy years or more and they are fast passing off life's stage.
 Undoubtedly it will be the last great. reunion of Civil War veterans, and as such every effort is being made by of ficers of the C. A. R., the citizens com mittee of Washington, the president of the United States and high officials of the war and navy departments to make. 1t an event which will live in memory until the last veteran responds to the final summons.

WEST YUMA WATER USERS
 RECEIVE GOOD NEWS
(By Benjamin Franklin Fly)

Hold your breath, yor good folks who live in West Yumal 1 have good news for you!
 The old steam pumping plant, located on the bank of the river in the Reclamation grounds, the same old pump that for over ten years has been sucking mud and water out of the river for you to use for irrigating the lands that lie above the canal, the same old pump that you have blessed and cussed uphill and down-hill, is to be dis mantled and sold at auction to the highest bidder!
 This doesn't mean that you are to be denied water for ir- rigation purposes! Nor does it mean that a new pump is to be placed where the old one now stands
 Noterbit of itl You are to have a brand, spanking, new gas pumping plant!
 This will be located on the bank of the main siphon canal. Water will be pumped from the canal to your high lands-a lift of not to exceed three or four feet, as against a lift of 14 to 16 feet at the river.
 Instead of getting water so thick with silt and sand that one drink of it puts sand enough in a chickens craw to last it a lifetime, you will get water that has first gone through the settling basin" at the dam, Lagun& and purifies itself al the way down to Yuma,
 And all of this will be done at oncei
 Manager Lawson gave me this good piece of news this morning, and what he says, goesi
 The river has been unusually low for the past month, and, naturally, the ditches carrying the water direct from the river by means of the old pumping plant, have become badly clogged with mud, so much so, in fact, that it has been a difficult matter to supply the high lands" in West Yuma with suf- ficlent water. This will now all be changed, thanks to the order just issued by Manager Lawson.
 The amount of second feet" of water in the Colorado river has been less this year, and particularly this summer than ever before in it's history. am indebted to MT. Mcconnell, chief draftsman at reclamation headquarters, for the appended table of figures, showing the minimum discharge per second feet, during the month of Aug ust 1903 to and including August 1915. 1

Writer'S Criticisms Of the Relations Of
Most MiddIe-CIass Fathero 70
Their Families.

Someone has said that the great
est effort of civilization up to date has
been attaching man to the family"
writes Mary Ware bennett in the Gen.
fury. Very likely, but in many ways
the attachment has been bad for him
and bad for the family. It has devel-
oped in him pernicious type Of pride
which had led him to deem women and
children az possessions-a pride no
less false when sugar-coated with SEN
tmental or chivalrous talk of the my
wife, or mother, my sister, my chill
dren" variety.
Mems families have been for the
most part either source of this false
pride or else milestone round their
necks; sometimes both. Most middle
class men are hopelessly dulled and
stupefied by mere grubbing to get the
family bills paid. In the "wage-slave'
class, both the men and the women
share the same stupid fate, the women
always getting the worst of 1t, how
ever, for collaborating is added to their
other labe-s. Men have been apt to
assume that their responsibilities to
women and children were wholly dis
charged by merely paying over cash,
without much personal service. Both
men and women have meant well, but
the men have been rather stupldly
selfish and the women stupidity un-
selfish.

About the Mace.

Probably not one person in q thou
sand knows that when they see the
mace of any city or corporation car
ried in procession it is carried upside
down. The gloritied head, with its or
namented scrollwork, carving, gliding
and decoration, is really the bottom
aud not the top OF the mace, for the
narrow end which used to bear spike
Is really the top, and in England when
The king is present the mace Is al
ways carried with the small end up
ward.
The base, which started out by be-
Ing only small knob, so grew In
years, both in size and ornateness,
that it could not be carried comfort
ably in the hand. Hence the reason
for the reversal was for greater ease;
the heavier end or bake was carried
over tho shoulder, and in course OF
time came to be looked upon as the
top,

Glenburn Advance: Nick Roles
threshed two pieces Of wheat near his
residence Tuesday afternoon. Both
fields we're marquis and yielded SO
and 81 bushels per acre. Mr.. Roles
says the field that went SO bushels
was seeded with screenings and mus
tard seed and a few wild oats, figur-
ing on using it for hog pasture. How
ever, after the hogs had failed to eat
up the field he shut it off and threshed
33 bushels to the acre of No. 1 wheat,
that weighed 62 pounds to the bushel.
A Montana farmer, writing to q
friend here, was trying to give some
idea of the productiveness of the soil
out there. He said that they had ia
NOW the grass off the sod house floor
every day to find the baby. One family
near had twin babies with only one
cradle, and the kid that had to sleeI
on the floor grew twice as fast as the
other. Where the soil is richest man
dares not stand on one foot any length
of time lest that leg become longer
and bother his walking.

soME ANTID0TEs FOR POISON
Worth Preserving, Since Quick Action
10 the AlI-lmportant Point to
Be Considered.

The first thing to do In case OF
poisoning is to summon physician
without delay, telling him what has
happened, so that he may bring q
stomach pump and other necessities
with him.
The next thing to do Is to give the
patient an emetic. The sooner and
more complete the vomiting, the bet
ter chance for recovery. Whatever is
given should be repeated and repeat
ed until complete nausea empties the
stomach.
If there is a tendency to drowsi.
ness, the patient must be kept awake
by exercise.
When 1t is not known what poi.
son has been taken, follow these direc-
lions:
Mix in a pitcher of warm water two
heaping teaspoonfuls Of common salt
and one teaspoonful Of mustard to
each pint of water. Give glassful after
glassful until vomiting is severe.
Also give the whites Of one or two
eggs or a cupful Of strong black coffee.
Carbolic Acid-Doses of weak spir-
its of ammonia, If the patient can
swallow. Stomach pump as soon al
possible
Oxalic Acid-Magnesia or chalk and
water in large doses, repeated fire.
Quently.
Ammonia - Vinegar in frequent
Doses
Opium or Laudanum - Emetic Of
mustard and water; keep the patient
in motion and use a stomach pump
as soon as possible. Also give strong
black coffee.
Acknowledgements; or better, fresh
" prepared hydrated oxide Of iron.
Corrosive Sublimate-White of eggs
mixed with water until patient vomits
freely.
Saltpeter-Mustard and water. Aft.
erward give mucilage and small d ses
Of laudanum.
Oil of Vitriol or Aqua Fortis-Large
doses of magnesia and water.
