the brilliant Senator from Misss-
sippi, man of extraordinary in
tellectual power and intellectual
integrity, stated upon the floor of
the Senate that they had reduced
the duty upon rice as low as they
could without destroying the in
dustry. That is Republicanism.
That is Republican protection.
No Republican wants more duty
than to protect the industry. He
does want sufficient to protect the
industry, so that they put duty
upon rice to protect the industry,
and they took it off of wheat, off
of corn, OFF of hay, and every 9TH
er product which grows In our
fields. When the attention of the
Senator was called to the fact that
he had left the corn grower of
the North exposed. he ridiculed
us very successfully. because he Is

he says: Do the Senators think

LITERARY SOCIETIES
 HOLD JOINT MEETING

The two new societies, the Literati and the Adelphian, which were found- ed only last fall, held a joint-meeting on Tuesday night. This was the first meeting of the school year and the program was an extra fine one.
 The best talent of both societies was upon the rostrum, and there was rendered one of the finest programs of the year. The societies have been very active since their birth, and two or three contests have been held be- tween them. Already, preparations are being made for the annual con test, which will take place early next fall.
 Nothing could be of better benefit and service to student than the training these societies offer. They are great assets to both the students and to the Northern Arizona Normal School. ...

|ASHURST |S WALLOPED WITH HEARTY
 GOOD WILL BY BOTH SIDES OF SENATE

Henry Ashurst, the cowboy orator from Arizona, was sat upon with force and violence in the Senate. Se- nator Ashurst is forever announcing with a movie actor gesture of de- fance that no Senator shall censor his remarks.
 But on this occasion the illustrious Henry was scored until at the close of the incident he was sitting down behind his desk pale and confused. He looked like a bad little boy who had been spanked.
 The fuss came up over an Indian committee report. The Senator is chairman of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs. When the Indian bill came before the Senate there was ad- ded on motion of Senator Jones of Washington an amendment to have the books of the Indian Bureau gone over by board of government eff ciency experts. The House having also passed a bill, each legislative body appointed conferees. Ashurst was one of the conferees of the Sen ate, his job, of course, being to insist that all the Senate provisions be made into law.
 When the bill was brought back to the Senate this morning it was dis covered that the efficiency experts had been eliminated. Chagrined at the elimination of this important amend ment, one of the Senators asked if the House conferees had refused to consent to the Senate amendment
 Nerve of Ashurst
 "Oh, mo- said Senator Ashurst in top lofty manner, "Those conferees were eager to have the amendment retained" Henry coyly confessed that he had reversed the action of the Senate and cut the amendment out himself. He had vetoed the Senate

KILL FLIES NOW AND
 SAVE LATER TROUBLE

Much can be accomplished by swat ting the few flies now, whereas if you wait till warm weather when they are in swarms neither swatting, trapping nor poisoning will keep them from being a great health men ace.
 Controlling the fly nuisance NOW is the easiest and most sensible way of keeping flies down later.
 Don't take for granted that an other cold spell will kill them out or that the few seen flying around can do no harm.
 A fly is a fly. Dr. W. A. Evans of Chicago tells here what one fly left over from winter is capable of doing. He assumes that the fly is a female, that the season and conditions are normal and that every female matched will live to full maturity and lay her quota of eggs.
 "She would begin laying about April and her daughters would have been ready to lay about May l. The females of the second crop would lay in May and their young would be ready to lay about June 1. After that we figure that to pass through the stages-egg, larva, pupa, fly to fly, ready to lay-would require twenty-four days. This would mean five crops by October 1. 1 The calculated number of descend, ants of this old lady on October 1 next, would be 31 quintillions, 22C quadrillions, or 31,22O,000, ,000, ,000,' 900 ,0O0-Health Bulletin.

JOINT CONFERENCE OF
 GOOD ROADS PEOPLE

Getting together for good roads and more roads in Arizona is to be the slogan of the Road Conference called for Phoenix, May l5 and 16.
 The annual meeting of the State Good Roads Association is always an affair of great interest and this year the addition of the conference of the Arizona Highway Engineers will make the session still more import ant. The Hon. Lamar Cobb, state engineer, as well as County Engineers from all parts of Arizona are at work on papers covering the road building in their respective parts of the state.
 Representatives from Texas, Cali fornia and New Mexico have been in vited to attend, and tell of the road problems in these important neighbor states. The Mayor of Phoenix will welcome the delegates on behalf of the Capital City, and the Governor of Arizona will be asked to add a word of greeting.
 Surface Treatment of Caliche Roads"
 Yuma County Construction"
 Bridge Building in Apache Coun- ty."
 "The Need for Permanent Bridges"
 Desirable Features of Highway Laws"
 are just few of the important sub jects planned for discussion. A com plete program is in preparation and will be issued in a very few days.
 Boards of Supervisors, cities and towns, and all commercial organiza- tions are all entitled to representa- tion at the conference Large delega- tions have already been appointed by several counties and prominent speak CTS from several parts of Arizona have promised to attend. Arizona will give two full days to discussion of road topics and May 18th and 18th will be notable in the story of road building in Arizona.

before the battery blast of indigna- tion that swept across the chamber from such men as Henry Cabot Lodge, Reed Shoot and Senator Gal finger he began to get cold feet. He then sought to shift the blame on the Secretary of the Interior.
 He said a report of the Secretary of the Interior had declined to con sent to the amendment"
 The words were hardly out of his mouth before Senator Stone rose from the Democratic side and de- manded to know the details. He said if the Secretary of the Interior had attempted to prohibit the Senators from passing laws, he wanted to know it.
 Ashurst tried to stammer out a nasty retort, but he was so fabber- gasted that Senator Myers of Mon tana tried to come to his rescue. He in turn was blown of his feet by John Sharp Williams who wanted to know about the Secretary of the Interior placing an embargo on the Senate.
 Ashurst Quits Cold
 With his own party turned against him and the whole Senate glaring at him, Ashurst slunk into his seat and Senator Myers cuddled up to him and they both sat pale and stricken and speeches.. Finally the incident struck the funny bone of Senator Lodge and he began to laugh.
 Finding that the storm was lifting somewhat, Senator Ashurst got up and in a meek, faint voice, asked un- animous consent that his own con ference report be rejected and it was done. Like a bad little boy he has been sent back to hold the conference over again. This time he will not attempt to set aside the decrees of the United States Senate.

DESPERATE OUTLAWS ROB
 STORE AT CAMP VERDE

With Indian trailers from Ft. Me Dowell leading the way, Sheriff Joe Young, accompanied by Deputies Hawkins, Joe Cook, Guy Bozarth, Roy Young and John Spears, is closing in on the bandits who blew open and footed the safe in R, w. Wingfield's store at Camp Verde early Tuesday morning. The last word from the sheriff stated that the trail was lead ing through Cherry creek.
 That the robbery was committed by Lee Cuthbert and an associate, is the belief at the sheriff's office here, as it was learned that Cuthbert, who is said to have served several terms in the State prison, was seen in the vicinity of the store Monday after noon.
 Sheriffs and deputies all over the State have been notified of the rob bery and are watching out for the pair. Cuthbert is so well known by officers of the law that his escape, should he be the bandit, it practically impossible.
 A $200 reward for the capture of the criminals has already been offered and as the store contained the Camp Verde postoffice, a reward will prob ably be given by the postoffice authori- ties for the apprehension of the ban dits.
 The loot secured included a num- Der of checks, S4OO in silver, $4OO in currency, and $1O0 in gold. The of fense of breaking into a postoffice brings the case under Federal juris- diction with long sentence in prison in the result of conviction. ,
 That there is no possible escape for the pair who did the job, is the opi- nion of Under Sheriff Tom Marks who has been busy the past "A hours noti- flying the sheriff's at Globe, Ray Roosevelt, Phoenix and Payson, be- sides sheriffs of counties further south.-Journal Miner.

An Honest Man

Out in the young countries of the world they have a pushful way of going out of bushes
 Sandy Macfarlane and Patrick Hoo Ian were travelling together in one of these "outposts of empire" and at one stage of their wild career took pass age in an old-fashioned coach.
 "Just like the good old times" said Sandy, settling down in his corner for the night.
 Patrick said nothing. He was al- ready asleep.
 The coach rumbled on peacefully, when suddenly the dreamers were awakened by cries from the driver, Looking out of the window, Sandy's face came in direct contact with the unsympathetic eye of a highwayman and the muzzle of a long revolver, Sandy sat down again suddenly.
 "Hands up!" exclaimed the husky robber.
 But his order was quite unneces- sary, as all the travellers had their hands we'll above their heads, with the exception of Sandy, who was al- ready unloading his pockets.
 Pat" whispered he, pressing some money into his friends pocket, ''here's that gold piece I borrowed yesterday" ..

Perfectly Safe

One of our southern friends saw old Uncle Timothy starting away on a fishing exposition, and knowing how hard his wife worked, thought it a good time to reprove him for his lazi- ness.

 "Yas-suh," replied the old colored man. "It's all right. Nah wife don need no watching. She'll wuk jes' as hard as if I was dah."

Story Slightly Twisted

A young Mexican found nugget on Indian creek near Flagstaff lately and small boom has resulted. A number of claims have been staked out and arrangements are being made to prospect the ground thoroughly. Several good nuggets have been found in the vicinity, which is about six miles from Fagstaff-Phoenix Messenger.
 Persons are not allowed to pick up gold nuggets here like that, and aside from that they haint no Indian creek around here.

Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas, is his younger and less prosperous days, was writ ing Roman de Feuilleton for a French newspaper. He was paid for the story by the line, and to make the pay amount to something he wrote like this:
 "Yesw
 "Noy
 "What them"
 'You diew
 "Neverw
 "Traitorw
 "Villianw
 To get out of paying for all that white space, the newspaper changed it's system, and sent word to Dumas that thereafter he was to be paid by the letter instead of by the line. Thereupon he introduced very com ical stuttering character into the story, who had the floor most of the time, and talked like this:
 "M-m-m-m- monsieur, v-vvous ave2 t-t-t-t-t-tort, ct vous etex un ILL., lache"
 The newspaper was glad to go back to payment by the line, and had nc sooner done so than the stutterine gentleman, to the sorrow of the read CTS, fell into the Seine one day anC perished because he could not get out the words: "Au secours"
