DON'T WHIP CHILD IN ANGER

It is absurd to whip child who is overcome by anger. The best thing Q do let him alone and let his passion itself If he could be taken before the anger gets the upper hand of him he might be controlled. What the parent should do is to study the things which will the childs anger and then avoid these things. It is the height folly for parent to excite in child and then try control it by punishment It is than folly t is brutal and is likely to ruin the child-Mothers s Magazine.

The lumber cut of the United States

Yellow pine led oil other varieties Of
wood in the total cut, with 14,7OO,OOO,-

entire amount of lumber produced IN
the country. Douglas fir is next, with
Il cut of 4,431 $4,000 feet.

NEW STYLES HIT FACTORIES
Lessened Demand for Ingram Carpets
and Rugs Put Number Of Plants
Out Of Business.

Changes in styles have had q disas-
trous effect upon many Of the carpet
factories of the United States during
the past few years, according to Uncle
Sam. A report of the census bureau
shows that the number of carpet fac
tories declined from 1870 in 1909 to 81
in 1914. Several Of these went out of
business, Uncle Sam says chiefly on
account Of the lessened demand for in.
grain carpets and rugs, due to a
change in styles.
The total value of products in 1914
was less by S2,O59,9G7, or 90 per cent,
than the corresponding total for the
preceding census.
The chief constituent material of
the carpet and rug industry is wool,
either in raw or in partially prepared
form. The raw wool used in 1914
amounted to 52,552, 449 pounds and
cost SIC, 493, 743, as compared with g.

CRANDALL AND DODGE CLAIM THEY WERE

Harry Crandall ano Jack Dodge. two Phoenix youths who journcycd to Tucson Sunday to compete in the mo- torcyclc road race, between that town and Oracle, returned to Phoenix last evening very peevcd, indeed.
 According to Crandall and Dodge, they were handed an exceedingly raw and dirty deal. It was rank fear on the part of the Tucson riders, which prevented the two crusaders from get ting into the race. All sorts of subter- fuges were tried by the Tucsonitcs to keep them out of the race.
 Crandall who was very wroth in ad- dition to being pccVed, stated thusly: I was in Tucson on the Thursday be- fore the race. talked to some of the promoters of the race. and received no inti1ation that the entries were to close that night. pulled out for the south of the state, and when l came back in q day or so, was told that the entries Lad closed the night l had left for the south.

 They tried to bar me on that and l showed them their mistake. Then
 they sprung the proposition that it
 was d closed race, and only club mem-
 bers could compete. It was sure some dirty deal, and just wait until the next race they have, I'm going to go in and
 show them how to ride bit. I'll take every cent they can put up In addition to all this, Ellie Wilson chimed in and said that never has there been a time when a race has been held in Phoenix that an invita- tiOn has not been sent to the Tucson
 riders. That they did not compete, was their fault, and not the fault of
 the Phoenix authorities.
 Crandall and Dodge went to a deal of trouble to get ready for the race at Tucson, they worked their engines over. and spent then time and money
 to make the trip, only to be barred out.
