Kenosha let factory proposition
and big one slip away from it with
out even an effort on Friday afternoon
when two representatives of the Gar
ment Makers association of Chicago,
came to Kenosha looking for chance
to open big plant in Kenosha. The
proposition was not an alluring one to
either the Kenosha Retailers associa-
tion or the 'Kenosha Manufacturer s
association and after the men had held
conferences with the secretaries of
these organization they took the first
train out Of town, evidently convinced
that Kenosha was not the place for
making garments.
The men represented plants which
have been either closed or their bust
ness badly interfered with by the
strike of the garment workers in Chi
cago. They came here hoping to be
able to lease a vacant factory in which
operations might be started at once.
They stated that they wanted to start
with the employment of at least two
hundred girls or women and the first
question was how they could secure
this number in Kenosha.
"Well, just at present." started in
Secretary Shearer of the Manufacture
er's association, eve are advertising
for three hundred girls and women to
fill places in factories in Kenosha We
have not been able to meet our own
demand here yet and the chances for
garment workers might not be as good
here as in some other cities. -
When the two men were told that
women and even girls working in Keno
sha factories were earning in some
cases more than twenty-five dollars a
week they threw up their hands.
Kenosha is no town for u.s. said
one of the men as he started for the
train. The men declared that they
had hoped by coming out into the
country towns that it would be posi-
BILE to find much different conditions.
''We are looking for a town where the
men were all employed and where the
women had trouble finding employ
ment," one of them told Sheriff Stahl,
who acted as the official pilot for the
party. 1t was admitted that the help
in the garment factories did not get
big wages, but one of the officials of a
company with which one of the men
was connected had recently explained
that the girls were not really being
employed at 1922 week.
just as matter of enlightenment
the two men were shown some of the
figures paid to Kenosha factory work
ers and women factory workers at that.
This further convinced the two men
that Kenosha was not the place they
were seeking for the location of the
ia tory. Let's 90 back and try
Waukegan" was the final shot that
one of the men fred as they left the
offices of the local men.
Sheriff Stahl pleaded an alibi and
he declared that he had never seen the
men until they came to his Office pre-

Compliments to Editor Breen

The Editor of the News was called to Flagstaff last Saturday, on business, and while there called at the office of the Sun. The News must compliment Editor Breen on the fine business that he has built up, and the fine office and equipment which he has earned by years of persistent and hard labor. Equipped with large cylinder press and folder, with brand new Chandler & Price jobber in addi- tion to all the other machinery and materials essential to his business, he is prepared to give Flagstaff a newspaper and printing plant which are a great credit to the town. MT. Breen deserves much credit for what he has done, and his town owes him a great deal for the boosting and advertising which he has given it, nor should. it be forgotten that he has done much for the county. 4ts

500 Riddles to be Made Glad

Plans for the municipal Christ mas tree are progressing and it is assured that the occasion will prove a great success. It is esti- mated by those in charge that there will be as many as five hundred kiddies to be made glad on that night. That is quite mob all by itself to say nothing of the parents the big kiddies- that will be there, too. Liberal contributions will in- deed be necessary on the part of all friends of Santa Claus to raise the necessary funds, but we under stand that the necessary iberality has been shown and that all of the candy bags will be full.
 It is a pleasure to think that none of the children are to be over looked---that old Santa's pack will hold enough for once to go clear around. If you know of any child ren who might be overlooked, you will do a good in turning in their names to the committee. -a1

is seen.
 A great many people disagree with Governor Hunt on the ques- tion of capital punishment, but they do not see in that any grounds for evoking a recall There are states in which the voice of big capital is stronger than that of the people but Arizona is not one of those. It is doubtful if the recall will ever amount to anything more than a lot of buster. If by any chance it does get so far as the bal let box, it will be overwhelmingly defeated there. Neither the mine owners nor their periodicals are making any friends by this recall bluff.

Are you Dry Farming, Farm CT $?

f .+s
 The last season should have proved great lesson to the farm- CTS of Coconino County, in the value of dry farming methods. Those farmers who did fall blow ing so as to hold the winters mois- ture, and then were able to seed their ground as soon as they could get into the fields (with no delay of plowing) raised crops. The season was not of the best but it seems to have been nearly as good as the average in this country. The farmer who is going to make a go of it will have to manage to raise crops on just such years. Dry farming properly followed will enable him to do so.
 Incidentally, some of the farm CTS who have tried dry farming and know a great deal more about it than the editor, might help some Jf their neighbors by contributing an article or series of articles to the News. It wont cost you any thing for the space and you will make friend of the News if you will do so.

@ Williams, Ariz. Dec. 8, 1915 To THE EDITOR: .c How Sarasota, Florida, Made a Park in a Day 6f

"One of the unique things in our civic history was our Park Day. The city had a strip of ground along the bay front 6O0x5O feet which was in dreadful condition and no money to park it. We de- cided to make city park of it and went to every man in town asking him to donate days labor or it's equivalent in money, The Mayor issued proclamation making it holiday. The results were surpris- ing. Over 300 men and boys were at work on these grounds during the day, and as many as 30 teams and wagons. Grading was done, dirt hauled in, trees planted, grass planted. etc. The Boy Scouts were on duty and the Camp Fire Girls passed ice water. The Woman's Club served free dinners in the dining room of a nearby hotel. At night tremendous amount had been accomplished and the mayor declared it was the best "all-get to-. gether" day Sarasota had ever had. Later the city took up the work and finished it, and the club plac- ed beautiful big mission benches at intervals all along the bay front"
 The residents of Williams are as energetic, enterprising, and have as much pride as Sarasota, Florida, or any other place.
 What was accomplished in Sara sota can be duplicated here.
 The strip of ground between the road on the East side of the Santa Fe reservoir, and the water, could be made into an inviting park, which would give pleasure to many persons who enjoy a rest in the open ar, and the beauty of this Canyon.
 Ii the Sarasota plan was adopted, Williams could have as pretty park as any town of its size, and at small expense, and labor.
 If all arrangements were ready | by next spring, one ''all-get-togeth- CT" day, would make the Williams park reality.

Inside the frame exca- vate to depth of about eight inches Then begin by placing thin layer of light material such as straw, leaves or pine needles. On this place a layer of from six to ten inches u(the thickness of the layer depending upon the eli mate, season and amount of forcing desired) ot fresh horse manure. Mois a layer of sand or light soil from two to three inches deep.
 The temperature may run high for day or two. In that case the pota- toes should not be placed until the temperature is about so or S5 degrees Fahrenheit. Then the roots are to be bedded, placing them so that they do not touch each other. Cover with sand or light soil so that the tops of the potatoes are F inches under the sur face, Aid to have the top of the bed come above the level of the soil on the outside of the frame. The bed should be kept moist but not wet, and the temperature will have to be watch ed for a while. The temperature may be allowed to run up to S5 or 90 de- grees Fahrenheit for a few days, but it should be kept as near S0-S5 de- grees, and it will gradually fall to about 50 degrees Fahrenheit at plant ing time.
 A cover for the frame can be made of glass sash or muslin frame if it desirable to force more rapidly. Glass sash while more expensive at the out set. can be used for many purposes and for a period of several years, while the muslin or cloth will have to be renewed every year.
 If in no great hurry for the slips, beds can be made out doors with ar tificial heat. The beds are made by blowing a back furrow about four or five feet wide.
 The plants can be hurried some by blowing under a layer of manure.

BURN INFECTIOUS MATERIAL
Way Diseases That Kill Cattle, Hogs
 and Poultry Are Stopped.

During the course of year it is usually necessary to dispose of many dead animals on the average farm Especially is this true on a poultry and stock farm. There is always more or less loss among poultry and hogs, and an occasional loss among cattle and horses, besides trimmings and offals from birds and animals that are being dressed for table use,
 Many times this material is simply removed some distance from the buildings and there allowed to decay. If the material contains anything of an infectious nature. such as, tuber- culosis, hog cholera chicken cholera

 Furnish Directions For Shipping.

If you have had trouble getting a good stand of clover or alfalfa, 1t may be because your land is sour. These two crops are very sensitive to acid or sour conditions, and will not do well on such soils. The acidity of soils is due to the lack of lime, and it can only be corrected by the appli- cation of finely ground limestone. slaked lime, lime kiln ashes, or some other substance containing lime Any one who suspects that his soil is acid may have it tested free by the Ar kansas Agricultural Experiment Sta tion at Fayetteville. Full directions for taking and shipping the samples will be sent to all who apply at the Experiment Station.

 Rains are an agency for the spread of infectious diseases. They wash polluted material into wells, contami- mating water used for household pur- poses. Continued loss of fiocks and herds is often due to carelessness in disposing of the dead animals. All such material should be burned at once, as it not only kills the infec- tion, but prevents spread of dis ease.
 A furnace for burning the carcasses of small animals, such as hogs. chick ems and others, can be constructed very easily with brick or stone. For burning larger animals two ditches should be dug in the shape of cross, so the fire will always have sufficient draught. Much difficulty is often ex- perienced in burning large carcasses because the fuel is placed around and over the carcass, when it should be placed directly under it.
