BOILING WATER.
u 10 Not Always Hot and Sometimes
May Be Barely Heated.

If you scald yourself with the tea
kettle you are apt to think that boiling
water is pretty hot proposition. But
boiling water is not always very hot
water and this is the way It happens.
when water boils ordinarily II Is be.
Vuse great heat has separated the tiny
PARTICLES of the water. forcing upward
and outward in lively bubbles the air
which Is contained In them. This Is
done in spite Of the downward pres.
\slre OF the atmosphere. After the wa
br has become hot enough to boil It
can get no hotter. because the air es.
capes as fast as 1t is sufficiently heated
to do so.
There are places on the earth where
the pressure Of the atmosphere upon
the water is so slight that it requires
but little heat to push apart the par
ticles and set free the air bubbles
which are confined in the water. so 1t
begins to boil before it becomes very
hot 1t ought hardly to be called cold
water, perhaps. but 1t is certainly far
from being as hot as ordinarily boil
ing water. This state Of things Is
found on all high mountain tops. as the
atmosphere grows weaker and its pres
sure less as one ascends.

The water began to boil almost i'm
mediately. but the potatoes did not
cook. All the afternoon and all the
night the water dubbed and boiled, but
still the potatoes were not cooked. The
boiling water was not hot enough.

WILSON'S PROGRESSIVISM
SHOWN BY HIS ACTIONS

President Wilson's progressive
ideas proven in legislation urged by
him and materialized into law
should appeal to the good sense Of
the true Progressives who were of
that party because of the faith that
was in them.
Equally do some of the Wilson
appointments show his progressive
tendencies. Notable among these
are the appointments of Brandeis to
the Supreme Court and Parry and
Rublee to the Federal Trade COM
mission.
Let it be remembered too that
these appointments were not forced
or made for political reasons, but
for merit and on principle. Rub
lees confirmation was prevented in
the Senate by Senator Gallinger.

First Load of New Tobacco.

Sam Brown, Tennessee tobacco
grower, residing near Dukedom, has
the distinction of bringing the first
load of this years crop of tobacco
to town this season. None of the
buyers here was expecting tobacco
at this early date and were not on
the lookout for it, But Johnny
Wilson made the best bid on it and
took it at 9k and 4c.
More tobacco is expected to come
in now in dribbles for the next few
weeks, when the season will begin
to open in full blast.-G Mayfield

GEN. SCOTT TEMPORARY WAR
cHIEF-GARRISoN QUITS
Washington, Feb. 11.-President
this afternoon issued formal order
designating Maj. Gen. Hugh L. Scott,
chief of staff, to act as secretary of
war, in place of Lindley M. Garrison,
resigned, for period not to exceed
80 days or until successor shall have
been appointed and qualified
Today speculation as to Garrison's
successor was buried beneath consid-
GRAFTON of differences between retir-
ing war secretary and president re-
garding measures of national defense.
That Garrison regarded their differ
ences to be of principle, not merely,
of methods, it is agreed, is shown by
his action in quitting and that of his
assistant, Henry S. Breckenridge, in
doing the same.
The immediate reason, it was be-
ieved today, was that Sec'y Garrison
considered humiliating a request
from the president regarding speech
he was scheduled to make yesterday
afternoon before United States Cham
Der of Commerce Garrison, the presi-
dent wrote him, should feel no hest
tation about expressing personal
views on both these subjects (the
Philippines and national defense)
but" he added, 81 hope you will be
kind enough to draw very carefully
distinction between your own indi-
vidual views and the views of the adj
ministration."
That the two designations were de-
cided upon suddenly was evident.
Sec'y Garrison up to within less than
an hour of the moment he was to
have spoken before the United States
Chamber of Commerce had not de-
cided upon definite action.

JOSE GARCIA HACKS
 ENEMY AS HE SLEEPS
Martin Leon Badly Wounded With Seven Razor Cuts; Garcia is Caught Within Few Min
 utes by Valenzuela

few minutes after Martin Leon, a paving gang employe, had been brought to the police station badly wounded last night, Policeman Val enzuela had Jose Garcia, the wielder Of the razor.
 Conflicting stories were told by the two as to the cause of the cutting Leon's account, thought by the police to be a true one, is that he had de- clined offers of Garcia in behalf of the latters woman, Ramona Munoz, and that Garcia became enraged and fell upon him as he lay in bed at his home at Maricopa and Third streets
 Leon was badly snicked up, though none of his cuts are serious He bore seven wounds, distributed over his body from his hands to his chest.
 Garcia was caught by Valenzuela after he had transported the Munoz woman to "Newtown." Garcia then returned and was found by the officer on South Fourth avenue, between Tonto and Hadley streets. He ob- jected to surrendering, and did so only after Nalen3uela had produced his gun. At the station he told Chief Brisbois that Leon was "monkeying with his wife"
 Leon's cuts were temporarily ban daged at the station, and then he was transferred to the Sisters hos pital.

LOCAL TIRE SELLERS
 OPEN GLOBE BRANCH

Another well-known Phoenix insti- tuition is about to celebrate it's pros- perity by opening up a branch house in one of the booming copper towns This time it is Payne and Saufley, the live-wire tire and automobile access sory dealers of North Central avenue and their new branch is to be located at Globe. Globe is one of the busiest spots in the country, from an automo- bile standpoint and Payne and Saufley will undoubtedly find the copper mag mates Of that section just as appreci- ative of good goods and high class ser vice as have the alfalfa barons and cattle kings of the Salt River Valley. Payne and Saufley, successors to Payne and Hart have been in business in Phoenix about two years and have made. 2 remarkable growth in this period.
 Diamond tires are the line they fea- ture although they have recently add cd tte United States line as well. The partners are both young, experienced automobile men and are able to sec things from the standpoint of the cus- toner. to which in no small degree is attributed the big business they are enjoying.

GRerublican A. p. Leased Wlrel


 WASHINGTON June 17.-Plans for the vigorous democratic campaign that will be directed from the White House will begin to take definite shape after Wilson has conferred with Vance Mccormick, the new chairman of the national committee and other party leaders, probably next week. The president probably will receive formal notification of his re-nomina- ton at Shadow Lawn. N. J.
 Hundreds of congratulatory mes- sages reached him today from all parts of the country. One of the first to come was from Vice President Marshall.
 The president spent the morning at a regular serni-weellly cabinet meet ing and in the afternoon motored with Mrs. Wilson. In the evening he read newspaper stories of the St. Louis convention, where his suffrage IpIank won the day only after a fight on the convention floor The White House made no comment on the con- vention.
 The presidents next speech will be mace before the New York Press club. Jun 30.

Rights and Privileges.

It is too often the case that employ
ers object to arbitration, claiming
that they are not willing to arbitrate
away their rights. The executives OF
CORPORATIONS often overlook the fact
that their corporations enjoy privileg-
es. rather than rights. These prlVl-
leges are conferred by tine State OF
South Carolina, and if they are not ex-
ercised in the interest of the people
Of the State, then the people, by force
of public opinion and through their
representatives in the legislature Will
take action to, control those privl'
leges.
If is favorite theme of employing
classes TO dwell upon the enforcement
Of laws as if property rights were the
only rights that exist; it is equally
the nabit OF the working classes to
dwell upon personal rights as if the
law intended that no other rights
should exist. 1t is the function OF the
law and courts and the body OF cltl-
zens in general to bring these two ex-
tremes upon middle ground.
The courts do not tolerate any ex-
tremes in either of these respects,
and the body of the citizens have kept
the balance will. l do not believe tnat
