BETTER STAY ON THE FARM

There is one thing We should Ike

II Is true. of course. that the farm
er does not now gel all the profit he
ought Ia gct--nor all h. j. goin. tr
ect-but il j. also true that the work
ingman in the country fares better
than the workingman in town. Read

pressive farmer-and You will. min,

all prosperity is the farm. But the
one best sign is that the farmers I

R. |. SLOANE'S
 PRIZE ROUTE
First to Report Complete Complement of Mail Box es; Brother John Second; Cleaning Up Postal De- liVerieS

As the postal department is insistent that every recipient of the free de- livery of mail shall provide a suitable mail receptacle or box for the recep- tion of their mail, there has been quite a little rivalry among the carriers of the Phoenix postoffIce as to which one would first have a clean record. That is, which one could report a box at every residence or place of delivery on his route.
 This honor fell to Rollin C. Sloane, carrier No. 7, who reported on Sep tem)er 29 that there was not 9 single place on his route not provided with a receptaacle for mail. MT. Sloane'S name will be reported to the depart ment at Washington and he will re- ceiVe special commendation for his good work in this particular.
 John B. Sloane carrier No 10, brother of Rollin c. Sloane, was only a couple of days behind his brother in making a similar report for his route. Carrier No. Y reports there is only one residence on his route with out a mail receptacle, and carriers No ? and No. report there are only two on each of their routes. There are only three on carrier No. II and No. 15s routes and there are only six on carrier 6's route.
 When Postmaster Wood inauGurated the campaign in this regard only two thirds of the houses were provided with proper receptacles for mail. At the present time 97 per cent of the resi- dences of Phoenix have made pro- vision for the reception of the mail.
 Hereafter. houses that have become vacant and are re-occupied will not be given delivery of mail until they have provided a receptacle for same. Also in extreme cases a similar course will be pursued with those who consistently re- fuse to provide mail receptacles. On rush days they will only get late deliveries or no delivery as the eXigency of the situation may demand.
 The theory is that if the recipients Of mail care so little for it's delivery as not to provide a proper receptacle for the deposit of same. there will be little harm done if it is not delivered at all, or at best, late. The idea is that peo- pie who really care for service and want their mail and provide for it's re- ceptiOn should have service in prefer encc to those who are indifferent.

FRED JACOBS IS BACK
 FROM LONG AUTO TOUR

Mir and Mrs. Fred Jacobs have re- turned from a 32 days vacation trip in Ford automobile, having covered 3119 miles in the 32 days. During the entire trip MT. Jacobs reported no trouble worth mentioning. They toured the Pacific coast and visited both fairs. The trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco, 5o5 miles, was made in two days.
 Returning, they visited the Grand Canon. In speaking of the trip yes terday and of his delight in being in the Salt River Valley again, MT. Ja- cobs simply said:
 T never knew how wonderful Ari- zona was until I got away from it. Now you just spread it on as thick as YOU know how and I will certainly endorse everything that can ever be said about the Salt River Valley as the big farming belt"

SEWER PROBLEM STILL
 PERPLEXES OFFIC|ALs s

The asylum sewer problem came before the board of control again yesterday, when the question of the life of the present city sewer and the probability of it's having to be re- newed came before the board for consideration. The meeting was in reality a continuation of the one held a week ago, when a committee from the city commission met with the board.
 In connection with the present sewer on East Washington street, the board considered the contingency of the state being required by the agreement to pay on two bond issues. It is stated that the existing sewer is of concrete pipe and may have to be renewed in the near future. No final action was taken.

army. The standing army of this
country is 100000 men, with an eXpen-
diture of s150,Ooo.0oO (Mexican) which
figures are one third of the total rev.
enue of the government. 1t is most
unsatisfactory to note that when trou-
BILE came we dared not put this army
in the field against our enemy. The
standing army Of Japan is 100000 with
an expenditure of $4,000, 900 (Mexican)
A comparison Of the above will read
ilya show that there is something
wrong in our expenditure, which can
be reduced.
"'The troops recruited since the Rev.
olution, and the remnant Of the Pre-
stationary forces in the provinces are
not worthy of the name of soldiers, and
should all be disbanded. Governors
and high military commanders of the
provinces should be rebukcd for
amassng wealth regardless of the well
fare of the ration. Strict measures
should be adopted to punish Irregular
tiles and corruption on the part of the
officers, and INSTRUMENTATION and DISC
bedience among the troops
IF the above suggestions be follow
ed out faithfully there will be hope for
the country. The treaty with Japan
has been concluded and the people feel
shame and humiliation they have
been aroused rs never before by a
sense of nationality"

SUMMER PEOPLE
COMING TO Maine
BY The THOUSANDS

Approximately 5000 people reached
Portland yesterday from points toward
New York and for the most part west
of Boston, says the Press of July 2.
In addition to these the travel from
Boston and points this side of that city
was heavy. 1t is impossible to even
guess at the total number who came
into Maine because they were coming
frol directions and at all hours.
York trains were given the
a FAY for one night and in con-
r. they all came in just about
on TIM Instead of two trains that
come every day there were seven yes
terday. The train known as No. 1853
came in two sections, No. came in
three and the so-called American Ex-
press train due at 92s. came in two
sections one being made up wholly of
express cars, there being nine Of these
in the train. In all As sleepers came
to Maine from New York leaving the
is city Wednesday night and reaching
here yesterday morning. A little more
than twothirds of these were sent on
to various points and some of the bal
ance were made up into a ID H"
train and sent right back, to come
again with another big rush today and
tomorrow
The Maine Central made every prep
aration to handle the traffic in good
shape and it was done without any
serious delays. Supt. +. F.. Sanborn
took personal charge in the Union
station having a gang of ~ men under
mis- direction who worked entirely
apart from the regular station crew
under Mr.. Haskell These latter
people found plenty to do to handle
the regular traffic, leaving the special
wholly to Mr.. Sanborn.
About $50 boys and girls for the
various camps with their councillors
and instructors made up the grand
rush of the early morning. These in
cluded people for Camp Casco at West
Poland, Trip Lake camp at Poland,
Camp Androscoggin at Wayne, Camp
kineo and Camp Kineowatha at Will
ton, the camps at Monmouth and some
others for other points.
