SARTORIAL BARBARITIES.
Man Was Never More Uncomfortabl
Clothed Than at Present.

Having advised men to throw away
their hats to save their hair, and dis
card tight or stiff collars for reasons
as obvious as various, we are asked,
how far is the campaign for men 6
sartorial relief going? What next?
There are number of things men
would do we'll to discard for health's
and comforts and convenience's sake.
Cuffs, of course, should be thrown off
with starched collars. Everybody
agrees that stiff cuffs, whether de-
tachable or not, are nuisance. They
serve no purpose whatever except to
give the wearer conventional,
"well-groomed" appearance. Soft
ones, and many of us have already
taken to them, protect the wrist
from the coat sleeve (aye, why the
coat sleeve?) and look just as we'll
when you get used to them.
But cuffs are minor nuisances COM
pared to garters that bind the leg,
and to suspenders and belts. It
union suits" serve as undergar-
ments, why not as outer ones? Union
suits worn exteriorly would eliminate
belt or suspenders and, what is al
most as important-vests. Why wear
vest, anyhow? AS we'll wear cor
set, except that a corset has no
pockets so far as our information
goes. A hatless, collorless, cuffless,
suspenderless, beltless man in a
comfortable, loose union suit and
sandals sandals, either with or
without socks-would, when the
sight of him became familiar, "look''
better than the curiously hated and
clothed man.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Behlnd

intimation tonight that the Wash
ineton government had determined TO
maintain a military status quo be-
yond the border until the Mexican de
facto government mad demonstrated
it's ability to capture or crush Villa

titions of the Columbus raid.
In the interim it is understood the
American troops will be so placed as
tn safeguard the border towns by vir-
tually policing the area south of the
line where Gen. Carranza has been
heretofore unable to check bandit op'
erations.
Secretary Baker announced the ap-
proval of the redisposition plan, after
consulting with the president today
over a Joint report submitted by Ma
ior Gen. Funston and Major Gen.
Scott. chief of staff, in conference on
the border. The plan was proposed
by Gen. Funston and concurred in by
Gen. Scott. The secretary announced
the administrations decision as fol-
lows:
Purpose of RedispositiOn.
"Gen. Funston has recommended a
redisposition of the forces in Mexico
for the purpose of recuperation and
opportunity for further cooperation
with the forces of the de facto gov
ernment of Mexico. The recon-
mendation has been approved and its
execution left to his discretion"
Later the secretary dictated the

Irish Repartee.

Sir Robert Finlay, M. P, lawyer,
has been speaking vigorously in the
house of commons on the advisability
of making food contraband as we'll as
articles of war, as far as Germany is
concerned, according to the Boston
Globe.
Sir Robert was once in Ireland
when he met an Irish drover with a
number Of cattle going along coun-
try road. Where are you going to-"
he inquired of the son of Erin. =
''To Waterfold Fair, your honor.
tIndeed?. And how much do you
expect to get for the animals?" ask
3 ed Sir Robert.
Sure, an if get eight pounds
! each 1 shall not do badly" answered
Pat. -; ...:..
"Ah, that's sample of your coun-
try said Sir Robert. ''*Now, if you
would take them to England you
would average ID pounds EACH
The Irishman, knowing full we'll
that he could not afford the journey
to England, and feeling trifie hurt
at the implied poverty of his native
land, looked indignant for moment,
but suddenly his face frightened.
Just so, yer honor" he retorted,
and if yez was to take the Lakes of
Killarney to purgatory yez would get

FOREST FIRE BURNS
 OVER 500 ACRES

A forest fire near the Saginaw camps, burned over a area of 600 acres, the first of the week, before it was stopped. The fire was dis covered Sunday, and the high wind that day was largely respons1- ble for the difficulty experienced in putting out the blaze.
 Before the confagration was over, all of the men at the two Sag inaw camps and all other available men had been called into service.
 MT. Greene, local Forest Super visor, left by auto for the scene of the fire, Monday morning, and re- turned Tuesday. The fire was completely under control and for the most part extinguished, by Tuesday,
 All of the timber burned was in the district belonging to the Sag inaw Manistee Lumber Go. No estimate of the loss is as yet avail able.
 This is one of the most serious fires that has occurred for several years.

TWO OFFICES WEST END
 OUGHT ALWAYS ID GET

As the time for the primary elec- tion draws near, we hear consider able discussion on the streets con- corning available candidates for the offices that are to be filled.
 For the past four years the west ern end of the county has not been particularly fortunate in securing the election of that quota of her candidates for the various county officers to which it's wealth and population entitle it. We are not in a querulous or complaining mood, but merely make th1s state ment as fact in order to impress 1t upon the minds of the leaders of the political parties, in the hope that at the forthcoming primary they will select the best men obtain able as their candidates at the November election. ..@
 There are two offices to be filled which the generosity of our friends in the east end of the county will possibly concede belong to us. Up to within the past four years there existed within both the democratic and republican parties an unwrit- ten, tentative agreement to the effect that the eastern end of the county was entitled to the state senatorship and the western end to the legislative representative. Why, in justice to the interests of both sections of the county, can this old understanding not be renewed?
 But possibly the one office in which the taxpayers of western Coconino are most generally in- terested is that of electing one member of the board of supervisors. The just,ce of our claim in this respect was recognized in all por- tions of the county at the last election, and through the splendid support given Hon. R. T. Brown in the eastern end of the county, he was elected. Mir. Brown has announcd his determination not to seek reelection. It therefore be- hooves the Democrats in this end of the county to take an inventory
 of their available timber for this important office, and to unite upon and support their strongest man.
 A number of good men have al- ready been suggested, and within the past week the name of MT. w.. c. Rittenhouse has been added to the list He has not, as yet, con- senteo to make the race; but his friends are certain that If he will do so, he will make one of the strongest and best candidates his party can put forth. Mir. Ritten- house has been one of the leading merchants of Williams for the past nine CT ten years. He is thor ough up to-date business man in every respect. Honest, capable,
 popular. he possesses in marked degree all the essentials required to make one of the best supervisors
 Coconino county ever had. Two
 years ago he was elected city clerk of Williams by one of the largest ,, majorities ever given a candidate / for city office. Should he con- / sent to make the race for super visor, someone will have to get up :, ana hustle to keep him from being : chairman of the board, for, since < he lived in Flagstaff prior 10 locat- :, ing here, he is almost as well and !, ,vorably known there as he is In Williams.

BAND BOYS DANCE MAY 27

The boys of the Barnes Band will give their annual dance, for the purpose of raising funds for the Band Boys encampment, May 27.
 The boys are busy selling tickets and are meeting with exceptionally encouraging results. There is a probability that larger number of tickets will be sold than were sold for the Royal Neighbor's dance.
 A dollar paid for one of these tickets, not only gives the pur- chases admissi on to one of the best of the season's dances, but at the same time is a boost for the worthy cause of helping the boys to have a successful encampment.
