George Middleton, whose fourth vol

an Interesting letter from IbBen in re-

the eloinent dramatlst said
81 consider It injurious to a dramatic
work that 1t should be made accessible
means of n stage performance. 1 believe
that the regulation of the Theatre Royal
to this effect has acted repressively on
dramatic production in Denmark. Il Is,
at all events. q fact that such production
has shown no tendency 30 increase since
tho regulation in question was passed
This is only natural; as things noware,
n new play can never be considered and
Judged apart from its surroundings, pure
ly and simply as literary work. The
judgment will always comprehend both
the play and Its performance; these two
entirely different things are mixed UP to-
gether; and the chief attention Of the
acting and the actors than by the play

NOT RUN, HE WRITES
Would Refuse Presidential
Nomination, E. C. Stokes
Quotes Him
DECLARES HE is
OUT OF POLITICS

TRENTON, N. j.. Aug. 20.-Asso-
ciate Justice Charles E. Hughes. of
the United States Supreme Court. en-
phatically refused to permit his name
to be considered as a candidate for
the Republican nomination for Presi-
dent, according to a statement made
yesterday by Edward c. Stokes, for
merly governor of New Jersey. Mr..
Stokes says Justice Hughes wishes to
set at rest for all time the idea that
he might become a Presidential can
didate, and he would decline even If
nominated
Justice Hughes wrote in reply to
letter sent him by Mr. Stokes a
few weeks ago Mr.. Stokes suggest
ed that Justice Hughes permit his
name to be used on the broad ground
of his availability. his duty TO his
country and because of the confidence
the people had in him. incidentally
Mr. Stokes, who is a personal friend
of the Justice and like him a gradu-
ate of the Brown University. stated
that a great number of the residents
of New Jersey wished him to run for
the Presidency.
Mr.. Stokes statement was accept
ed here as representing the unalter-
able decision of Justice Hughes. II
was recalled that upon his appoint
ment to the bench, Justice Hughes
declared he never would become a
candidate for an executive Office. and
that in 1912. he steadfastly resisted
attempts of his friends to get him to
! become a candidate for the Republi-
can nomination in the hope it would
avert the threatened split in the par
ty that took place after the nomina-
tion of President Taft.

Such Weather

Nowhere could weather and eli mate be found to excel that which we have been enjoying for the last few weeks. Fine cool nights for sleeping, and warm but not hot days for summing, if you have any spare time and for work if you have not. Just sunshine and dry health giving atmosphere day after day. Such dryness at anoth- CT time in the year might spell dis aster for the farmers but now it is only a blessing, giving them the best possible conditions for reap ing, thrashing and storing or dls- posing of the harvest already theirs.
 But the supreme joy in this sea- son comes with getting out among the trees and hills, there to bask in the sunshine amid the falling lea yes and the squirrels and chip hunks busy with the autumn s harvest. There, away from the work and stress of life, one seems to get in touch with the great in- telligence that ordered all things. How completely out of harmony with nature seems the terrible European jangle! How very for tunate Is he who is an American citizen! After winter there is no time like spring time and after summer there is no time like the autumn.

HOW TO MAKE DRIED APPLES
Simple Method Which Will Insure Success if Directions Are
 Closely Followed.

Peel, core and slice the apples Place them on platters, wooden trays, or any other convenient receptacle and place them in the sunshine. Take them in at night and during rains; it is impossible to secure good dried fruit unless they are protected from moisture. Protect them from flies and other insects with netting, and place them out of the dust as far as possible. Continue the drying until the fruit has lost more than half it's weight; if necessary, it may be placed in the oven for two or three hours at the end. Tie the dried fruit in paper sacks, using a double thickness if thin skin sacks are used, and suspend them from the ceiling of the dryest room available.
 When ready to use the dried fruit, wash it well, soak it for six hours or longer, and throw away the liquid drained off. Then cook the fruit for several hours at temperature slight ly below the boiling point.-Mothers' Magazine.

USE PAPER JARS FOR JELLY
Have Advantage of Being More Easily Packed Without Danger
 of Breaking.

The paper family, already so help full to the housewife, has a new mem- Der included in it's circle-the paper jelly glass. It is of paraffin paper, like the drinking cup, and comes in several sizes, from two ounces to IS ounces. The eight-ounce size costs about 15 cents a dozen The advan- tage of the paper cup is that it can be packed more easily without danger of breaking and with less weight than the heavy glass jars. Again, there are many times when we want to give glass of jelly to a friend and when we do not like to ask for the return of the glass. Yet the cost of many glasses is quite an item as contrasted with the cost of the paper tumbler. Also we often want to take a glass of jelly to a picnic and then we do not want the weight and bother of a heavy container. Here is where the paper cup has a distinct and perma- nent place with the housewife.

We Want Those Oiled Streets

There is no question about Will jams needing oil on her streets, and there is no doubt about the people wanting to see this oil applied. It only remains to finish preparing the streets and then to get the ne- cessary machinery and begin work. The main business streets need the oil most, and these should receive first attention, bat none of them are as yet fully prepared for oiling, altho much improvement has been made upon them of late. Many of the gutters need further deepening and in a good many places the road bed should be smoother.
 If the same amount of progress made upon our streets this year can be made during the next few years to come, we will then have better streets than any other town in northern Arizona with the pos sible exception of Flagstaff-and even Flagstaff will not be excepted unless her paving progresses much faster than at present.
