HAVE COMFORTABLE
 STALLS FOR HORSES
It Often Happens That Places Where Animals Are Kept Are
 Entirely Too Narrow.

A horse cannot talk and tell his owner in the morning that he has been uncomfortable during the night, but if such is the case and the trouble continues the effect will show in his work, or more serious trouble may follow. Sometimes the stalls are bad ly constructed, made too narrow or the horses feet wear holes which are neglected.
 One of the greatest evils is having a stall too narrow. It may not have been properly constructed in the first place or perhaps has been made for a small horse. If the barn changes hands or is rented and larger horse put in it, this horse may have cifi- culty in rising and so because of his dread of lying down on that account remains on his feet longer than is good for him. Again a board or two may become dislodged and net being re- placed at once occasions draft.
 In a number of barns that have come under nay observation too little care has been used as to the situa- tion of the stalls. Quite often they are placed on the north side of a building owing to such a position be- ing handler or not interfering with other arrangements about the barn. Instead, it is best to have them on the south side of building or If on the north side they should have a rr~r- sufficient size, the flooring should be level and the stalls themselves kept ip good condition

Arizona.

The Big Jim Mining Company at Oatman is planning extensive develop ment work.
 The drift from the lower level of the Golconda Extension is being driv- en in excellent milling grade ore.
 "Copperfield drill shows forty-six feet of ore and no signs of bottom" !" reads a telegram from Kingman, in Mohave county.
 The Gilt Edge, the newest mine in the oatman field that is interesting the public, is about to install machin- cry to get quicker results in shaft sinking.
 The work being done in the Whet- stone mining district, few miles from Turner. is much more active than has ever been undertaken in the history of the district.
 The phenomenal record of produc- tion for Arizona was reached in 1915 by gold, silver. copper. lead and zinc, amounting to almost s9o.0O0. 900, jump ing in one year from s6O.OOO.OOO.
 Eighty tons of concentrates and high-grade ores are being shipped daily from the plant of the Magma Copper Company to the Hayden shelter. and it is expected that the output will be steadily increased.
 Mining activity continues to in crease in the Paradise part of the country and more ore is being sent out at the present time than for mum. Der of years past Ore is being hauled 10 San Simon and to Rodeo.

 this country sixty odd years ago, Joining Welsh colony in south ern Wisconsin. colony hardly sec ond, IL Is said in size and in the mark which 1t made on the state. to that which entered into the life of central New York much more than half century ago.
 The Celtic people are more or less emotional. and perhaps the accent should be placed on the more rather than on the less. In the greater men whom the Celts have contributed to public life, the emotionalism while marked, has always shown the effect of the steadying hands of thought and of conscience. Emotionalism does not run away with Lloyd-George of Wales and Of England, nor does it run away with his cousin, Joseph E. Davies of Washington and Wisconsin, for this chieftain of the federal trade commis- sion is a cousin of the man now most fin the public eye in the British islands.
 IL is within the range of possibilities that if two or three years ago some great corporation official of the United States should have consulted a for tune teller she would have looked at his palm and said: Look out. for a dark, handsome man is about to stand in your path" Mir. Davies is a dark man, and it is no fattery at all to say that he is handsome one. He became the commissioner of corpera- tions soon after Mir Wilson was in- augurated president If the United States. Many men had picked Joseph E. Davies for cabinet position, and there are those to say that the proph- ecy of such a place for him event ually may not go unfulflled. The bureau of corporations. as It's name implies. looked after corporation mat ters. It was a check on illegal doings OF the part of great concerns of the country and 1t was also intended as a help to such corporations as wanted to obey the law to the last letter and who wanted to know definitely just what the latter was.
 Joseph F. Davies is a man of con siderable brawn, and he would not be where he is probably if he were not . man of more than considerable brain. He comes by both by inherit ance, for his father was a blacksmith. of ''the muscles of his brawny-arms- werestrong-asiro species. MT. Davies mother was the daughter of a barrister. She was of Welsh and French extraction. thereby keeping the Ceit blood in MT. Davies virtually undiluted. The mother was one of

 two years. She came to this country many years ago on a lecture tour. At Watertown. Wis, she met and married the father of the present chief of the ! federal trade commissioner.
 There is one incident in the career
 Of Joseph F. Davies which Washington | politicians account remarkable. The
 chairman of the trade commission. as | everybody knows. is a Democrat.
 After MT. Wilson had been elected
 men all over the country began to
 write to him urging the appointment of the Wisconsin man 70 a cabinet po- sition. Mir. Davies knew nothing about these efforts in his behalf. His | mother was in England and ill The | son went abroad to care for her and
 to bring her back to this country as ] soon as she was able to travel. He
 was compelled to stay in England for
 months and was entirely out Of di-
 rect touch with political affairs and his own concerns in this land.
 At that time the Wisconsin legisla- | ture was Republican. In the body
 were a good many former students of | the University of Wisconsin, of which
 Mir Davies is graduate. One night ! four Republican members and Dem p
 cratic member Of the legislature hap pened to meet. The Republicans said: Joseph Davies is an able. high-mind- ed man. He ought to have a place
 in President Wilson's cabinet" It Is
 needless to say perhaps that the
 Democratic member coincided instant ly with what his Republican col leagues had said.
 Then the Republican suggestion was l that the senate and assembly of Wis i consin should adopt resolutions recom- | mending Davies for a cabinet position | The Democratic member said, That
 would be fine, but you can't get Republican legislature to do it.
 What was the result? The Repub-
 lican assembly by unanimous vote
 passed the resolution and the Repub- | llCdu Seudlc iuSldutly lOliONtI suit- Joseph E. Davies is under forty years of age and he Is one of group
 of young men whom President Wilson called as governmental aids in his
 administration. In positions just be-
 low that of cabinet rank there are
 today in Washington many young
 men, or young as the world looks on
 age when considering the responsibili-
 ties which 1t must bear.
 One finds a genial host in the of- flee of the commissions chairman.
 MT. Davies has the Celtic temperament
 which makes for hospitality and good nature. Until a Celt reaches the point of righteous indignation and is there
 fore likely to explode. he is as DO lite as nature ever allowed any man to be. It makes little difference wheth- CT the Celt Is Irish. Highland Scotch,

The government Of the United

that it is intended as a formal avowal
OF deliberately hostile action against

IN pursuance of the object for which
they were sent there, Notwithstanding
the fact that those objects not only in
yolve no unfriendly intention towards

to assist that government in protecting

the United States against irresponsible
and insurgent bands of rebel maraud-

government to demand the immediate
release of h prisoners taken in the
encounter at Carrizal, together with

Ell Paso, Tex. June 27.-With re.
ports that thousands Of persons in
northern Mexico are on the verge Of
starvation and that the economic sit

fears were also expressed that some
of the natives might attack an Ameri-

said they fought as beasts over bits Of
