GARDNER FAVORS GREATER
REVENUE FOR STATE SCHOOLS

AS part of his program of leg
islation, Governor Gardner is
quoted as favoring an increase in the
collateral inheritance tax which
SHOULD produce revenue to run the
University of Missouri and the School
of Mines at Rolla." He is also quot
ed as favoring the enactment of a gen
eral inheritance tax of two to three
per cent which he believes would
Weld million dollars yearly and a
privilege tax upon the capital stock
and the surplus of all corporations in
the State, which would produce ano-
Their million yearly Of revenue.

STARTLING RESULTS
IN PENNINGTON

People report incredible results
from simple lavoptik eye wash. A
girl suffering from weak, strained
eyes was helped by one application.
Her mother could hardly read or sew
because of eye pains. After one week
her trouble was gone. A small bot
tie of lavoptik is guaranteed to help
EVERY CASE of weak, strained or

From time to time, story comes
along from Somewhere in England,
or Somewhere in France, or some
where elsewhere, which shows that
"the official routine of the official de-
partment" is receiving much buffet
ing in these times. A certain COM
mander on a certain front decided, af-
ter careful thought, that he needed
certain things, and needed them very
much. He sent his list to headquar-
tiers, and, after long delay, came a
sheaf of official forms full Of detailed
inquiry as to why he wanted each
thing he had asked for. The command
err thought over the matter for day
or two. Finally he took his courage in
both hands, and blue pencil in one
of them, and, so the story goes, wrote
across each of the forms the legend,
81 want these things because there is
war on over here" He got them
without further question.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

(From Christian Science Monitor.)
Paris has not yet recovered from the
order, issued by the Minister of Fine
Arts, that no evening dress is to be
worn in the State-subsidized theatres
until the end of the war. Evening
dress, apparently, is frivolous. M.
Clemenceau, very naturally, wants to
know whether M. Deschanel should be
allowed to wear the dress coat in
which he presides at the sittings Of
the Chamber, and further, whether it
would not be advisable to warn the
audiences of the Coincide that they
must weep and not laugh when Mo
liere is given. Paris is of opinion that
for a Minister who is ode province"
to presume to instruct the capital in
sheer matter of taste is going very
far

JEWS CELEBRATE
SUCCOTH FEAST
No Distinctive Ceremonies VIII u,
Carried Out, Say
Officials.

The last two days of the Feast of
Tabernacles, or Succoth, will be cele-
brated by the Jews of Tulsa today and
tomorrow. No distinctive ceremonies
will be engaged in, but each family
takes part in feasts at the home.
The holiday today is called the Feast
Of Conclusion, that tomorrow win be
the day of Rejoicing for the Law.
The sentiment of the feast is rooted
deep in the ancient agricultural life of
Israel Succoth was one of the great
pilgrimage festivals The other two
were Passover and the Feast of Weeks.
Each of these was at the harvest time
of some particular crop. on these
three occasions the people from all
over the land of Canaan would journey
to the Holy City and spend the festival
there. This feast, Succoth, known
also as the Feast of 1ngathering. was
at the time of the gathering in of
fruits. The booths. therefore, may be
reminiscent of the booths erected by
the busy harvesters as temporary
dwellings in the field. The palm
branches and the willows, the myrtle
and citron still borne in procession
around the synagogue on this feast
also suggest this ancient harvest set
ting.
Succoth was the last of the three
harvest festivals; and as it ushered in
the winter season when rain was
needed for next years crop, a water
service was held in the temple; and
to this day the prayers for the last
day of Succoth include special prayers
for rain, which are continued in the
services until the timew the spring
harvest comes again with the feast of
Passover.

EASTERN WOOL BUSINESS
WANT CLASSED WOOL

Sheepmen Of Arizona will be inter-
ested in the following telegram re-
ceived by Professor Barnes, the Uni.
versity Livestock Specialist of the Ex-
tension Department, from w. I.
Ritch, international Wool Expert, who
recently visited the state:
australian greasy wool second
quality selling in London auction sales
at siXty-seven cents per pound and
first quality for sixty-nine cents. New
Zealand and Australian clip com
Wandered by British government ow-
ing to scarcity. Overflow English or
ders sent to Canadian wooden mills,
Canadian manufacturers are in Bos-
ton market after classed wool but
cannot buy the wool unless it has
been properly classed."
This information will be good news
to western sheep men, but is one of
the strongest and most urgent argu-
ment for the erection by Arizona
flock owners of modern shearing
sheds where their wool can be classed
ready for manufacturers.
Information has also been received
that the reminder of the classed wool
in Wyoming, Montana and other west
ern states was sold on November "a,
for Al cents per pound in the grease.
Mr.. Ritch claims that the majority of
Arizona wool is superior to the wool
which has just been sold He exam
ined the wool of James Scott of Pine
dale, Arizona, and he has just in
formed US that Mr.. SCOTS wool is
worth three cents per pound more
than the wool just sold. Such state
ments coming from wool expert of
Mr.. Ritch's standing certainly speaks
well for Arizona WOOL Arizona
sheepmen cannot afford to continue
to be without shearing sheds in which
the wool can be classed, which should
put them in a position to secure from
fifteen to twenty per cent more per
pound for their wool. Figuring on
this basis the loss last year was some
thing over 100000 which would be
more than enough to erect model
shearing shed in every county.-S. w.

FOREST SERVICE MAY
ADOPT WIRELESS SYSTEM

A message received at Albuquerque
from District Forester Redington,
who is inspecting the Apache Nation
al Forest in Arizona, states that a
wireless message was transmitted
from the Baseline ranger station to
Clifton The distance is 40 miles.
This is believed to be the first time
that wireless has been used in trans
acting National Forest business.
The outfit was installed by Forest
Ranger Warner and Ray Potter of
Clifton and cost $75. An ordinary
telephone line between Clifton and
Baseline would cost at least 500 per
mile, or $4,000. ....
The transmittal Of the message
demonstrates the practicability Of
overcoming the heavy static" incl
dent to the dry climate of the South
west, and Forest officers hope that
wireless telephony will be the next
development in the National Forest
communication system. Wireless tel
ephony would eliminate the cost of
special telegraph operators incident to
an ordinary wireless system and
would be of incalculable value in COM
batting forest fires and transacting
general forest business.

SUGGEST GOOD TOOTH BRUSH
FOR CHRISTMAS PRESENT

Out Of 330,179 school children ex-
amined in the city Of New York, in
1914, 1914 POT, or $500, suffered from
defective teeth. This exceeded the
sum total Of all the other defects
noted by nearly $4,000. Defective
teeth impair general health and i'm
pede school progress. Disorders of the
digestive tract, tuberculosis and va
rious other diseases frequently are
preceded by diseased conditions in the
mouth. There is direct relationship
between dental development and
mental development, and it is abso-
lutely essential to good work in
schools that children's teeth be main
tanned in healthy condition. The
Public Health Service recommends
that a good tooth brush be included in
the list Of Christmas presents for
every American child and that its-use
be made part Of the daily training.
II this recommendation is carried out
the United States will have more
healthy children this year than last
and their chances of growing up into
useful, healthy men and women will
be increased.

SOUNDS LIKE HFTY.CEN7
WOOL To- GROWERS
NEXT SPRING

The wool growers of this section of
the country have every reason to be-
lieve that this year wool will reach
the highest point in the history of the
business. Some believe, from advance
information received that unsecured
wool from the ranges will touch fifty
cents a pound.
AS evidence that such is the case,
T. E. Pollock received the following
telegram last Friday:
Boston, Mass, Dec. Is, 1916.
T. f. Pollock,
Flagstaff, Arizona.
Recent cable advices offering best
greasy capes, similar choice Arizonas,
to cost 81 cents landed; equal $1.S0

sirable qualities there sold. Would
like your permission to scour about
as bags of Soto Navajo shipment B.

SALTER BROS. & CO."
Figuring on the basis of $1.20 for
secured wool and the attendant de-
duction for securing, the price at the
figures quoted would be at least AZ
cents for wool, and believe that such
early quotations will mean fifty cent
wool before wool is ready for ship
ment," remarked Mr.. Pollock, in con-
versation relative to the startling in
formation received.
There is no question but was condi-
tons have brought about this condi-
ton, and one that can not be changed
for couple years to come. The pro-
duction of wool and meats can not be
Immediately affected by the coming of
peace in Europe, as thousands of fac
tory products can. Time is the one
element in producing wool and meat,
and one that can not be overcome. In
factory products such as used in
making war, there is big slump
coming when peace is declared.
An option at forty cents per pound
for million pounds of wool was re-
fused by Mr.. Pollock short time ago,
made by a Boston wool buyer.
