the Gila delegation, the delivery of seven out of twelve delegates is said to have been promised by man who cannot swing a single vote. The same condition prevails in the Navajo county delegation. Cameron's princi- pal workers claim his support in much better shape than the opposition sus poets.
 Never has the reublican state con vention shown such ocG aspects as this Not only are all the delegations send ing a majority of their members. but some of the combinations are startling in extreme. The air is full Of -umors. All delegations are doing more or less caucusing. Promises are flying thick and fast but the original line of cleav age seems to obtain etrOngly as ever. Every delegation with the possible eX- ception of Yuma is split. Maricopa is given the credit for being sphinxlike and liable to pull off most anything. Accepting the claims of Cameron packers as well based, the observer | finds two elements in opposition.

 Due to the unusual activity of Pima county delegates, caucusing every hour with delegates from practically every other county except those of Maricopa and Yuma, Maricopa county supporters of Cameron became very ac- tive late this afternoon.

At the beginning of the world war
Brody was thriving commercial cen
ter with a population approaching 20-
900, more than two-thirds of whom
were Jews. Its prosperity was checked
to some extent about 40 years ago,
when, after having enjoyed the privi-
leges of a free commercial city for
exactly 100 years, its charter was with
drawn.
Less than half a century before
Brody was created a town in the sew
enteenth century it was the scene of
an important battle in which the Poles
commanded by their famous grand
hetman, Stanislaus Ponieckpolski, de-
feated Tartar army. This was the
last battle of Ponieckpolskis dis
tinguished career. For a quarter of O
century he was at war with Turks and
Swedes, his initiation in military
science being somewhat disastrous, for
he was captured by the Turks in his
first important engagement and was
held in close confinement for three
years at Constantinople. Upon his re-
lease in 1862 he was placed in com.
mand of the Polish republics forces
and with force of 25,0O0 defeated co.
600 Tartars at Martynow. His achieve
ments against the army of Gustavus
Adolphus were no less noteworthy thar
his long series of victories whereby he
succeeded in keeping the Ukraine un
der Polish rule.

in 1901, destroyed 1000 houses, Will,

CAUSES FOR THANKS
Season is a Time for All to Re-
member the Blessings of
the Year.

M to you? Does it mean only
w a day of special feasting?
Does it bring to you only the
pleasure of rich foods and elaborate
meals? Or do you remember in the
midst of feasting that it is a day for
giving thanks? We should all take
the time from this day, filed with
pleasures, to look back over the past
year and remember all the blessings
for which we have to be thankful
No matter how much sorrow and
trouble may have to come to us in
the past II months, there have been
many blessings as we'll if we will stop
to consider them. Perhaps at the
time of trouble we were blinded to the
blessings, but now, if we look back
with clearer judgment, we can see that
they were there all the time, some
times blessings in disguise, but bless
ings none the less.
We can surely afford to spare from
this whole day of pleasure a couple of
hours for silent retrospection and ap-
probation. Let us each slip away
of the day and give ourselves up to
a mental review of the past year, with
a special eye to the benefits we have
received. 1t will come as a surprise
to many to see how many the blessings
have been and how comparatively few
the nisfortunes.
There is first of all, health. Those
who have sound health never stop to
be grateful for it, it seems so much
a part of them. And yet were these
healthy ones laid on a sick bed for
months at time they would soon
realize how much of blessing health
really is. The chronic invalids in their
beds and wheeled chairs appreciate TO
the full the blessings of good health.
Let those of us, then, who are we'll
and strong be thankful for our health.
Then there is love. Those of us who
have the devoted love of mother or
father, of a sister or brother, of a
child or husband, will do well to send
up an extra pean of thanksgiving for
the blessing of this love. Only too
often, the only ones who appreciate
the full blessing of love are those
who have lost all earthly ties.
If the family circle about the fes-
tive board is unbroken is not that a
reason for full rejoicing? When SO
many fathers, husbands, brothers and
sons are falling on every side in Eu
ropes inhuman war we should give
thanks with all our hearts that oul
own dear ones go unframed.
So each of us will find, if we search
our minds, that we have many bless
ings to be thankful for. 1t is only the
hardened heart which feels no graft.
tude. And we should all fill our minds
with love and appreciation on Thanks
giving day, of the great good we have
received in the past and the hope to
be more worthy of it in the future.

TURKEY AN ''|DJUT'
At Least That Is the Opinion
Farmer Has of the Great
American Bird.

OUSEWlN ES contemplating the
IL annual Thanksgiving dinner lit
tie realize the months of prep
aration which preceded the
feast. Their cranberries are on the
market. Turkeys, dressed and ready
for the oven; huge yellow pumpkins,
with the earth still clinging to their
gaudy sides; oranges, apples, grapes
and nuts all await the call of the cpl
cure.
A trip to a market gives the 1ayInan
an insight into the real business of
Thanksgiving, and incidentally a guam
tity of rural folk lore which Is illu-
minating. Wandering around the wag-
ons which line the sidewalks of the
market space, reporter the other day
came upon an old resident of Virginia
"a man with whiskers and magnifi-
cent quid of tobacco and a small sup
ply of turkeys, the last named alive
and protesting vigorously against the
confinement of their crates.
After a little preliminary CONVEX
sation the old farmer dilated upon the
ways of the great American fete bird
and in his conversation knocked the
pedestal upon which the fowl is placed
squarely from under Its feet.
Biggest fool bird in the world" he
confided to the reporter. '"They amt
nothin in the world that I've ever
found that's as big an idjut as tur-
key"
"In what way?" was asked.
"In every way" replied the farmer

you ever know, for instance, that q
turkey can drown itself during a rain

"What!" CALCULATED the reporter.

there birds hold up their heads during
a rainstorm exactly as if they was
trying to swallow the whole creation.
Naturally, they can't drink the entire
output. And l tell you as a fact,
that I've found cases where they man
aged to drown themselves"
Continuing on the peculiarities of
the bird. the old man said
They're helpless critters, too. Amt

Does that apply to wild turkeys as
well as the tame ones?" asked the re
porter.
The old man spat thoughtfully ant
profusely at a chip of wood in tn,
street. He hit the mark.
"As to that" he said, 81 can't exact
