DICTIONARIES

The dictionary is the official ware house for words which aren't being used.
 The English language contains about 200,000 words. some of which are not used once~.a year, even Dy lecturers who are trying to explain sociology to womens club. If any one man had tc repemDer all of these words he would become demented under the strain and would be taken tenderly away while trying to buy rutabages Irolh the vegetable man in words of seven syllables. For this reason the dictionary was invented by Samuel Johnson and several annexes were add ed by Noah Webster. It is a neat strong volume weighing about ten pounds and on-explosive.
 The dictionary contains all the words which have gotten into respectable company in the English language These same words when recklessly ar ranged have caused wars murders and lectures on free love. But the diction- ary Is strictly neutral. It arranges it's words alphabetically so that the entire collection can be read, even by a hot tempered man, without causing the slightest ill-feeling
 The dictionary has about 1000 pages and on each page there are many words which would cause a successful business man to blink violently and change the subject. If a common citi- zen were to learn any one page of the dictionary thoroughly he could intro duce words into his conversation which would cause college professors to view hlm with sudden respect and invite him to tea But no one does this. We proWl the fields hunting for four leaVed clovers and are joyful and gay when we find an edible toadstool after half days search; but no one thinks of breaking into the dictionary and hunting out a few dozen swivel -jointed double-action, submersible words with which to soak a proud stranger in moment of need.
 With the aid of a dictionary. q man might compose an eloquent letter, not word of which could be read bv q. college graduate. Gu the other hand a baseball reporter can compose a thrilling story, scarcely any word of Which can be found in the dictionary. In spite of it's capacity, the man who puts all his faith in this fat and dig nified volume finds himself full of wonderment and ignorance whenever he attempts to fathom a few swift re- marks between boarding school girls or college gentlemen pursuing knowl- edge with megaphones and football pennants.

NEW ENGLAND PROFITS
 FROM BIG WAR ORDERS
Half Billion Estimated Total of Orders. Allies Buy 500 Speed Craft to
 Scout for Submarines

New England will profit to the extent of half billion dollars by war orders now being rushed to completion, ac- cording to an article in a New London, Connecticut paper, received yesterday by W. S. Cone, the project manager. Every factory is running at full speed, and the brow of industry is fairly fev- erish. Machine shops, erected to build such things as typewriters and sewing machines, even, are being utilized. the equipment having been devoted to such articles of war need as are possible to be constructed there.
 One order is for five hundred speed craft, capable of moving at a rate of nearly thirty knots an hour and draw ing but 30 inches of water. These are ordered by Great Britain as coast guards against submarines. Official tests under the eyes of representatives of the allies prove the boats seaworthy and fast enough to engage in scout duty Their light draft will make them prac- tically invulnerable to torpedo attacks, while their great speed will also be an asset.
 Automobile, motor, arms and a great number of other factories are receiv- ing war orders every day. Connecticut alone will produce $300,000,0 900 worth of war materials on orders already filed, it is said.

IF AMERICA WENT TO WAR

It always seems to me that if the United States enters the it will naturally devote it's attention to the liberation of Belgium. It appears to me too, that such plan would have the additional merit of enthusiastically arousng the whole of the American people to their task. It would also give the Ameri army, assurnng such raised, definite work of its own. untrammeed by precedent and free from friction that would arise through it's cooperation with armies speaking a different language or having entirely different traditions It is certain that the American character and the American genius for n- vention would bring bear this ideas which the Americans would prefer to carry out in their way.
 An American army would start with an enormous advantage existing armies It would have knowledge of the' experiences and mistakes of the last year. and it would bring that invaluable essen tial a and clear eve, to bear problems which have befogSed those who have been overconcentrat- ing for long.Lerd Northcliffe in North American

THE COUNTRY CLUB
Editor Republican:


 The Country Club of Phoenix is soon to open for the seasn. I want to make a plea to the business and professional men of the city for a better support of this institution. It is well known that the Country Club of Phoenix is not as well supported as it should be. MT. Business man. do you know that annually for a great many years we have had hun dreds of people come to this city who have plenty of money to spend and whose principal recreation is the game of golf whose idea was to spend the season here, but left after playing one round of golf at the Phoenix golf course(O. Do you know that Tucson recognizes this and has recently completed a golf course second to none in the south west, total cost of golf course and club. huse $5O,OOO? If we ever want this city to become a place ire ouented by the people who spend money, we'll have to have a golf course. And we will never get it till the business and professional men of the city join the club. Play the game by all means, it will add years to your life. but join and support the club whether you play the game or not, because it will put money in your pockets.
 I am speaking for myself only when l say that it is no help to the club to have continual reference made in the society columns to the exclusive Country Club setn If I know the spirit of the club, it sig nifies welcome and good fellowship to any one of good character who desires to join. It is exclusive only in the mind of the society editor. Let's make a real club that will at tract the right kind of people to tine city.

 There are a good many poor peop-
 le on this earth and | don't believe there ought to be. I don't believe there NEED be, either.
 If everybody made it his business
 to attend to his own business. sole ly-there would be fewer poor. It's
 truer than you think. From the moment that some men-and that means MOST-arise from their beds
 ir the morning (and a mans a
 sucker who arises before that time)
 until they go to sleep again they have devoted three -fourths of their
 time to the profitless task of atten-
 ding to other peoples business-to the detriment of their own affairs.
 When a man sits down to the
 breakfast table (and that is the pro :
 per form, unless a boil-) and begins
 his little talk with the family, such as: Whats the matter with your
 washwoman? Why didn't she come
 yesterday? If she would attend to business, she might not have to wash
 for a living" And, If we had some
 honest men in the commission we
 might get a milk ordinance which
 would eliminate this hay from our

"The paper ought to come out and say so and so?' Then on the street car-on until the office is reached-"he" gossip. At the office-"HaVe you heard about Cid Penry-he ought to have done so and so.' ''Why don't Jones adver-
 tise?'' T should think Smith could
 see that he's wrong" etc, and so on
 all day long-eight hours at the of flee and six of them spent in min ding other peoples business. This don't mean that men are all grouches, or cranks or even un- pleasant.
 It DOES mean that if you an- alyzed your time you would find that two-thirds of it is spent in worrying, or thinking. or worse - talking about things with which you should not be concerned-plainer, with things which are utterly none of your business
 If all of that energy was applied in our own interests and with the same amount of zeal it is a cer- | tainty that we would soon note an appreciable increase in our business
 affairs.
 Personally I have never tried at tending to my own business (never had enugh Of it to work on) though
 I feel sure that I had rather man age it in my own way, even at that. Now take this column of 'Uncen- sored Sense" It is devoted to the business of attending to other peop- les business and this is one of the

 The Mexican who would take up arms for Mexico in the event of trouble with the United States is no more popular with the natives of Arizona than he is with the people Of Texas. For the most part an unde- sirable element of Mexicans comes into this state, usually in the border mining and cattle districts, and is responsible for most of the crimes. They are not to be classed with our substantial Spanish American cit izens.
 "The trouble has been confined entirely to the border counties of Texas, and in importance may be compared to the negro rebellion of 1S31, in Virginia, headed by Nat Fur ner. Any citizen ofArizona is just as safe here as he would be in rural New England or in the District of Columbia
