ONE OF the great evils In trade
unions is political indifference.
Some of the trade unionists have
one bee in heir bonnet while
others have bee of different
breed. This indifference many
times causes hard feelings ald
forces the political combatants to
tell each other their real names.
We 6ud that this political bee does
not make honey for trade unions,
and seldom does it pass the pure
food inspection. 1t never has
enough h4vor to keep the union
men united nor will it ever have.
As long as trades unionists are in
the political hive SO long will this
Indifference remain, and the enc
mics of organized labor will al
ways furnish enough vinegar to
keep the hive swarmi1g. Why
not cut out that buzzing and get
down to real unionism

WINDING THE CLOCK.
Follow This system and You May Get
More Accurate Time.

Follow This system and You May Get
More Accurate Time.
You cannot secure the best services
from a good watch or clock unless you
know how to wind them so as to cause
the least wear and irregularity in their
delicate machinery.
A watch should be wound at the
same time every day. If allowed to
run down or even almost do so and
then wound up until it will not wind
any further 1t cannot do as perfect
work as a watch that is not allowed
to run to its full capacity or wound
up until 1t Is as tight as 1t can be
made.
IL watch Is wound both morning
and evening at about the same hour
and the key is given only enough turns
to wind II little less than half what
Ii could be wound the watch will run
more evenly, wear much longer and
keep more accurate time than if 1t Is
wound up tight once day.
A watch spring will last longer If 1t
In wound when there is the least ex-
treme of temperature, and morning
and evening are. of course, the best in
that respect.
1t Is more or less dangerous to wind
a watch during heavy electric storm,
and II is best to avoid winding while
on an electric car.
An eight day clock should be wound
twice a week at as regular periods as
possible to secure the best results.
Never allow the clock to run down,
and IL possible do not wind it until 1t
" tight.
Learn by experience Just how many
turns of the key II takes to wind the
clock to run eight days and then when
half OF the week is gone wind the
clock by giving the key just half as
many turns as it would require to wind
It all the way. More accurate time
will be had and 1t will avoid placing
any of the parts In a strain, which Is
frequently the cause of good clocks
giving out In some particular before
they have served half as long as they
should.
A little attention to this advice will
lengthen the life of any watch or clock
and make 1t better dmepiece.-New
York American.

THE Liberal League will be. one
OF the strongest organizations in
the next few weeks. The members
of this organization will use their
influence and votes to offset the
whims of some fanatics who are
trying to tell the peple what they
shall eat and driuk. Their funny
ideas will only effect one class Of
people and that is the working
class who will loose their jobs If
the state goes dry. The Liberal
League should be supported and
every workingman should become

A FAMOUS MlsER.
Cooke Died Wealthy After a Life Of
Petty Saving and Trickery.

Cooke Died Wealthy After a Life of
Petty Saving and Triokery.
Thomas Cooke, known as the "rsling-
ton miser," left at his death more than
$500 900. His whole life was one Of pen
ury. petty saving and petty trickery.
he made 1t a habit In order to get
meals for nothing to fall I'm a pretended
at in front Of house at dinner time
and on recovering he would naturally
be invited TO share the meal, which he
always did after the proper amount of
protestahon. Often he would pretend
10 these kind people that they had saw
ed his life, would make great fuss
over them and tell them he intended
TO remember them or their children In
his will.
One man, poor relation, occasional
y sent him small presents OF butter.
This angered Cooke, who said to him I:
why send me such driblets, you who
are to get thousands and thousands at
my deathf Send me a firkin." The
nrkin and several more We're sent, but
neither this legacy nor any of the 9th
ers came to reality.
Like many men shrewd In petty
ways, he was easily deceived In mat
terS out of his own line. Thus once
when his horse was sick he was too
mean to pay horse doctor and asked
advice Of quack, who told him he
must take thirty onions, drill hole
through each, put them on string, put
the necklace around the horses neck
and let 1t stay there. The expense OF
thirty onions was too much; he bought
fifteen, and when, after many days,
they had served their purpose, he took
them to the servant and ordered her to
make an onion porridge for the days

Retail Clerksl Why SO few OF

There is no union in the city that
has secured as much benefits for
its members as the clerks have,
and why some of them will stall on

out. Every member of this union
should have been in line and as
sisted ip making it success. The

follows: One ounce of precipitated
chalk, half an ounce of carbonate of
soda, half an ounce OF powdered orris
root. Mix yell together and pass three
times through q sieve. Place In a bot

UNIFORM RULES FOR
WEIGHING FREIGHT

Uniform rules governing the weigh
ing and re-weighing of freight when
have been adopted by practically all
the railroads of the company were ap-
proved by the corporation commission
Yesterday and will be put into effect
in Arizona at once.
The rules provide for the re-welgh-
ing of freight in carload lots in case OF
accident to shipment in transit, on ap-
plication of consignor or conslgnee, OF
in order to verify weighing on other
scales. An important feature OF the
new rules is the tolerance clause estap-
fishing the minimum difference IN
weights due to variation in scales or
weighing which may be permitted
without correction of the billed weight
The minimum tolerance on all carload
freight. including coal and coke Is 5oo
mounds. or one per cent of the weight.
On shipments of ashes, Stag, gravel, ore.
brick and stone, the minimum toi'r-
ance allowed is 1000 lbs.
The American Railway ASSOCIATION
adopted uniform rules governing
weighing after an extensive investlea-
tion recently by the interstate com
nerce commission, which has approved
the rules as they now STAND.

AND
AGRICULTURE

To-day you can't say. Send the fool
of the family to the farm. Today the
successful farmer is an educated man
Thus, Professor Stanley F. Morse,
superintendent of the agricultural ex-
tension service of the University of
Arizona, College of Agriculture, before
a large crowd in the auditorium of the
Monroe school last night Prof. Morse
was delivering his able lecture on "Cul-
ture and Agriculture" a part of the Y.
NJ C. A. lecture course.
1t was the speakers purpose to show
the beginning of agriculture the begin
ming of culture. and the development of
the two alongside each other down
through the ages since man began to
reason. Culture is coordinate with,
and an ontgrowth of agriculture, ac
cordng to the speaker
agriculture is a very complex and
scientific subject. 1t is not now pos
sible to relegate the men of lesser men
tai equipment to the task of tilling the
soil, because it takes an educated man
| to be good farmer.
THE farmer of today is not ashamed
| of his culture, as used to be the case.
| Neither is the cultured man of today
! embarrassed at being tiller of the soil"
History, which agriculture has made
| in other communities of this earth is
being repeated right here in the Salt
River valley. According to Prof.
Morse, if his theories are sound, the
Salt River valley will one day be one
of the seats of culture Of the United
States.
The extension work of the University,
| which is one of the methods, the educa-
tors are using to bring culture to the
agriculturist was touched upon by the
speaker He mentions the fact that q
farm advisor would today be selected
out of some half dozen applicants
brought here by the university to serve
the farmers of Maricopa county.
Farmers Meeting
call has been issued for a meeting
of the farmers at the Water Users
building today to go over with PROT
Morse the applicants for the position of
farm advisor. The meeting is at two
o'clock.
