one use the word "sockdolager," and
asked her little six-year-old brother
what it meant. '"Why." he replied,

church and the preacher gets tired
of talking, and he says, Let us now

An Industrious Farmer
AdvertiSeS His Business

w. E. Shumway is the first
farmer to have letter heads
printed at this Office and was
down Monday from Shumway to
receive the work. He calls his
place of business "Eastmont
Farm" and the success that Mr..
Shumway has made of EAST
mont" is known to almost every
one in this part of Navajo
county.
The farmer nowadays is re-
garded or classed rs a business
same as banker, mer-
chandise dealer or any other
firm that has wares" to sell.
The rapidly moving and up to
date times behooves him to keep
upswith the pace.
A few years ago the farmer
was little known-there was no
market then-and raised just
enough produce to supply him
from one year to another. Now
it is different. Everyone having
small piece of land raises a
crop from it, for he knows that
he can find a ready sale for all
he produces.
Why shouldn't a farmer ad-
vertise his business? Notwith-
standing the creed of the fore
most knocker. 1T PAYS TO

as following a lay off from mines
and railroads on account of any
thing like a depression.
This. he says, would do away
with a good deal of industrial
discomfort, would prove a saving
in the end and would promote a
better feeling between labor
and capital.
He recommends a minimum
wage for women sufficient to
allow them to live comfortably,
pointing out that it has been
said that a woman to live COM
fortably in Arizona must earn at
least ten or twelve dollars a
week.
The duties of the public de-
fender would be to defend those
unable to employ counsel.
In reference to the eighty per
cent law recently declared un-
constitutional, he points out that
according to records of Arizona
correction institutions, such as
the prison, asylum and indus
trial school, the state is being
burdened with a very large num-
Der of people who are of alien
extraction. These records, the
governor claims, show that be-
tween fifty and sixty per cent
of the persons confined in these
institutions are foreigners. This
raises the question, states the
governor, why a new state like
Arizona should have taxpayers
burdened like this merely be-
cause a few employers find profit
by importing immigrants OF all
description.
In his recommendation for a
revision of the registration and
primary laws he refers particu-
larly to the primary. He would
have it include the provision
that every elector must under
oath declare his party afiliation
at the time when he registers.
He further recommends for the
primary that any candidate re-
ceiving majority vote over all
other candidates be declared
elected without further election.

Jefferson Daily Larson
Passes Away Yesterday

Ono OF Snowflake S choicest
flowers was yesterday plucked
when at IL O'Clock noon occurred
the death of Jefferson DAILY Lar
son, son of Alof and May Fl. Lar
son. "Jeffy" was we'll known,
and, perhaps, had not an enemy
in the world. His death was
caused by inflammation of the
stomach followed by a severe
attack o f typhoid fever. He
was sick only two weeks but the
pain he endured during that
time was terrible. He was wait
ed upon by DR.. O. S. Brown of
Winslow and E. w. Farrar of
this place.
The exact cause of his sickness
is indefinite. Some, however.
attribute it to an accident he re-
ceived in youth. While in the
elementary grades of the gram
mar school, he was hurt inter-
nally in a game of football. 1t
is said that he has not enjoyed
perfect health since.
His birthday is unknown to
the writer, but he was seventeen
years old. He spent his en-
tire life in Snowflake and by his
uprightness gained the love
of all young people and the re-
spect of old. He is the elder of
the two unmarried sons of Mr..
and Mrs. Larson and the fourth
child they have lost.
His life was one clean, simple,
pure and honest. His soul will
appear before his Maker unspot-
ted for he was practically with
out guile. Any young man may
we'll profit by his example and
his memory will be a perpetual
stimulus for good.
In the social sphere he has
always been shining light,
taking an active part in public
from childhood. AS a reciter he
was famous.
He was very sedate and at the
time of his death was president
of the Sophomore class of the
S. S. A. His loyal classmates
showed their tribute by rever-
emily. constructing his coffin.
They will also, likely act as pail
bearers at his funeral.
Funeral services will be held
this afternoon, at 2 o'clock, in
the Stake House. 1t is presumed
that the Academy will dismiss
and turn out en- masse to pay
homage to their beloved COM
rade. In addition to this a large
number of other friends will be
in attendance despite the bleak
ness of the weather today.
| Immediately after the funeral
services his body will be inferred
in the cemetry.

The Motor Tourist in the West.

Recently the editor of a Chicago
automobile publication wrote the
adJutant general of Arizona ask
ing whether the militia would be
modified this summer to patrol
the motor highways in the remote
sections of the state or whether
the protection of the t~ransconti-
mental motor turists would be left
to mounted citizens posses.
Unfortunately the adjutant gen.
eral is unable to call out the Ari-
zona militia for this important
service, and experience has shown
that there is no reliance upon vol
untary citizens patrols. But it
is possible thrt a number of Apa-
che bucks from the San Carlos
reservation may be induced by the
Arizona Automobile Club to aban-
don the seat of the alfalfa mower
for the season and keep the main
auto highways clear of the horned
toads. A number of Yakima In
dams have likewise signified their
willingness to donate their services
and their automobiles to ferve in
a similar capacity on the highways
through the Washington wilder
ness where the blood-sucking wood
tick of the northwest has been
seen as late as l0l4. Should these
precautions prove insufficient, first
aid to the injured may be obtained
at the numerous camps of cowboys
along the principal auto trails.
Auto tourists from the East
should not emit to obtain a nom
