JAIL BIRDS MAY
GO TO FRONT

Paris, Nov. 4.-The protection from
German shells enjoyed by conyicts
through their own misdeeds, while the
law abiding men Of France able to
bear arms are making such heavy sac
rifices, has raised a discussion as to
the propriety of sending to the front
of all able bodied men now in prison.
"Jail-bird slackers" is the name Civ
en- to men sentenced in 1914 or pre-
lviously to periods of confinement that
have carried them over the first two
years Of the war. A law recently in
troduced in the chamber of deputies
by Pierre Rameil and Andre Hesse
lcontemplates the incorporation of GER
tain categories of these men. The
proposition was received with consid-
cradle satisfaction until a study Of the
question developed forcible objections.
A great many people held that it would
be according too much honor to allow
convicts to fight at the front alongside
the gallant soldier of the republic
Others held that the results would
scarcely justify the experiment, while
the number Of recruits that could be
obtained this way, estimated at the
ministry of justice between 5000 and
4000 would furnish too small an ef-
fort to justify the risk 1t would be
necessary to provide an organization
absolutely separate and distinct from
any other arm of the service to pre-
went contact between convicts and the
soldiers of the regular army.
A great many prisoners have begged
| for the privilege of a suspension of
their sentence to permit them to go to
the front, and have thus appealed with
some force to the sentiment of charit-
ably-minded people. There are prece-
dents, however, showing that the men
who have gone to the front to clear
themselves of stains upon their record
have not in every case justified the
hope that was entertained.

KOREA'S TRADE
HAS RECOVERED

Seoul, Korea, Nov. 4.-Oficial
investigation shows that Korea has
gradually recovered from the blow
dealt her trade by the European war
last year. The export Of cow hides
shows a great increase, due to the
large demand for them by Japan to
meet the large order for army boots
from Russia. In Korea, some 1000, 900
yen worth Of boots and ammunition
pouches were exported to Russia.
Partly as material for the chemical
industry that has developed in Japan
to reach markets monopolized by Ger
many, and partly to meet the general
demand in the market owing to the
shortage of stock, the export, from
Korea of rice, linseed, tallow, cotton
alum, gold ore, coal and dye stuffs
greatly increased.
A decrease was generally seen in
articles imported from Europe, a re-
markable falling off being witnessed
in. the figures of wheat -four, con-
densed milk, salted herring alcohol,
aniline dye stuffs, iron and dynamite
Imports from the mother country, how
ever, Increased and Japanese goods
took the place Of foreign articles es-
pecially wheat flour, petroleum, iron
nails and plate glass.
The deduction is that Korea will
| more and more depend on Japan for
her necessities.
Peking, Nov. 4. - During the six
| months from July to December, 1915,
| Japanese firms are said to have realiz-
ed profit of $60.000.00O silver from
Chinese brass cash bought in the
| northern provinces of the republic
| This cash is the old fashioned Chinese
| money, with square holes in the
| center. Much of it is very old and
| it's value as a circulating medium is
so far below the market value Of the
| metal it contains that there is a profit
of at least 200 per cent in buying the
| old coin and melting it down.

"Unscrupulous potato dealers in %Ae

Leslie Welter, prominent Moorhead

Mr.. Welter said that it wasn't so
very long ago that people in the states
some distance from Minnesota had a
Red river valley lay. Some were Of the
opinion that it lay near the twin
cities; others had no idea at all.
Mr.. Welter illustrated that point by

down one of the main business streets,
that Red river valley potatoes were
for sale within. and decided to find
out if this were true.

to see samples of his Red river val

THE WAGE FARMERS FRIEND(?) HUH!

The governors much vauuted love for the citizens who must ''eat their bread in the sweat of their brows' IS, if genuine, one of the most complete reversals of form that Ari- zona politics has seen in some years.
 His record in the territorial legislature indicates that this love for the down trodden working man is growth of but recent date and leads to suspicion that it is a growth cultivated for the express purpose of enlist ing the support Of the worknmen in the ad- vancement of his political ambitions.
 By grace of the labor vote of Gila coun- ty, the governor was member of the twenty fourth territorial legislature. At that time all heads of families were exempt by law from attachment execution, and forced sale for the payment of debts as to personal prop erty not exceeding in value the sum of $5Qo."
 The purpose of this provision of the law was to prevent hard hearted creditors from taking the workngman's household furniture for debt.
 The governor was in the mercantile bus- ness at that time and had accounts that he could not collect, the debtors coming under the provisions of the exempting clause of the statute. His friend Murphy introduced in the lower house "an act to regulate homesteads and exemptions" containing twenty-four sections and, at the end of Sec. I9, the joker capitalized i'll tie quotation, was neatly in- serted. It .cof the s.sD pc Of clause tc ;nc effect: ''nor shall said rroperty be excerpt WHEN THE DEBT OWING IS FOR THE COMMON NECESSARIES or LIFE FURNISHED WITHIN THE TER RITORY OF ARIZONA, for wages Of la borers, mechanics or servants for services performed within this territory or for prop ety obtained under false pretenses-"
 The bill was passed by the lower house, without the joker being discovered and, when it was sent up to the council for final action the records, (page 324 of the official journal,) read
 On motion of Mr. Hunt the rules were suspended, House Bill No. g was read third time by title, placed on final passage and passed by the following vote: Ayes, Blacke- ley, Cleveland, Dickerman, Hogue, Hunt, Lockwood, Mcintyre, O'Neill, Reemer, Scott, Weedin, MT. President

 His garb was strange and odd compared to the well dressed throng Of the twentieth century. On his back strapped one of those hideous signs of the sandwich man and the wording was strange
 As he walked and mingled with the gay throng, they gazed in ridcule at his bare legs: his cloak of red, but marveled at the trick of the sun as 1t formed halo around his hair of gold.
 The politician turned and muttered: T wonder what his graft is?" The business man came up to the door as he passed and wondered what he was selling. The fashion, able minister stepped aside to allow him to pass and whispered ''Shamefulr' as he look ed upon his bare legs. The girl of the street turned with half quizzical glance and nut tered: T should know him." The police man on the beat stopped him and asked what he was selling and if he had license. In a voice full of sorrow and pathos, he an- swered ''I am advertising the brotherhood of man.

On Saturday last occurred the mar riage of Senorita Paulina Cordova and Pedro Martinez. These young people are popular among the Mexi- can colony where they have always taken an active part in social affairs. The wedding dance which was given in their honor Saturday evening at the Princess Theatre was one of the most brilliant nuptial affairs to be- given in Clifton for some time. The floor of the spacious auditorium was crowded with a gay throng of danc- CTS who eagerly responded to the rhythmic strains of a Mexican or chestra. A special train from Mo renci and Metcalf brought a large dele gation of friends of the young couple who joined in the festivities until a late hour.

Judging from the columns of Dunbar's Weekly last week two bad and bold men en- ticed him into room in the Adams Hotel and by the use of money attempted political seduction. Dunbar left the room in the hctel with the money. One can readily picture the desperate struggle that took place in that room We can see in our minds eye these bold bad men begging, pleading, coaxing and threatening while the editor of Dunbars Weekly stoutly defended his editorial virtue. All other efforts unavailing, last resort, there was rush; knock out blow on the editors jaw, and oblivion. Then these politi- cal williams hog-tied and gagged the prostrate editors hoved three hundred dollars into his pocket and beat a nasty retreat. All the agonies of humiliation and injured innocence were endured by this sensitive editor caught unawares. But, according to all accounts, Dunbar still has the money.
