ssDO UNTO OTHERS. 2

Friends, have you ever asked
yourself the question: Is my
neighborhood any the better for
my presence in it," Has your
community life been such that
were you to move to some other
locality you would be really miss
ed, and missed with regretg
We believe that many of us who
consider ourselves good citizens
and good neighbOrs, if we were to
seriously consider this question,
would be somewhat puzzled to
find the correct answer.
We all know people OF our COM
mnnity of whom it were idle 10
ask this question. We know be-
yond question that they are a real
assest to any community that is so
fortunate as to claim them. Let
us. then, in the light Of their lives,
trnthfully and impartiallS judge
our own lives, and let us profit BY
that Judgment.
An of us know that good an
gel of the neighbOrhood. Ere
quently she is a frail little mite
of womanho0d. quiet and unaS-
Stunning, with the most humble APP
probation of her own virtues,
Yet whenever sickness or SORROW
develop in the countryside we
instinctively look to find her in
attendance, ready to effaee her
self in her ministrations to others;
giving of the faith of her own
large heart to sustain the falling
courage Of those in need.
And who does not know the
handy man of the community
lie is always busy, yet never so
busy that he can not grant a fav-
or to a neighbOr. He is the man
who, when he starts to a town, is
hailed by every housewife on his
route and loaded down with COM
missions and orders to be filler,
until frequently when returning
home his neighbors get most of
his load. He is also the man you
send for if you have sick horse
or COW; if your crops do not turn
out to suit you, you consult him.
You call ON him, If subscription
is to be circulated, and he is al
ways ready to not only chip in,
but he eheerfully takes the paper
from house to house and from man
to man until the object is attend
ed. In fact, when we contemplate
the number of "thankyes jobs
he gets through with in the run
of a year we often wonder how
ON earth he has found time to at
tend to his own affairs. But he I
has, and he has attended to them
well.
The truth is that we all waste
many valuable hours and days
that might better be given to these
kindly ministrations to others
comfort and pleasure. We pom
der our own cares and perplex-
tiles, burdens and sorrows, until
they loom as mountains in our
pathway, obscuring our neighbors
and their affairs, until we FREE
forget that they, too, have
cares and sorrows, many times
more grievous than our own.
1t would be Of real benefit to
rs if we could at times forget our
self, and enter into the joys and
sorrows Of others.
Try it, friend, and you will be
surprised to realize how soon the
ARE and sorrow have flown from
four own life and left naught but
Joy and peace in their stand

Christmas time is with us again
1t is ours to enjoy as we give joy
to Others, and, though half the
world is struggling beneath the
dark cloud Of war, the spirit Of
the Christ, which bringeth good
tidings and the incentive Of kind
III deeds to mankind, should be
made more prominent in the con-
duct Of those who yet remain to
conduct the affairs Of earth, until
the bitterness of war il blotted
from thu hearts Of humanity for
ever. Peace be with you.

State Fair News Notes

Great will be the harness races
at the Arizona State Fair to be
held at Phoenix November 9Th to
18th. Double the number of en-
tries have been received for the
different events than were received
last year, and while it was almost
impossible to fill some Of last years
races, 1t seems this year as if there
will be an overplus of entries.
1t is not only in horse racing
that greater interest is being
shown. The automobile enthusi-
asts of Texas, New Mexico and
Arizona are responding joyously
TO the call for the Tri-State Races,
and some speedy "boats" are be-
ing stripped and tuned up for the
track as we'll as the road race from
Douglas to Phoenix.
The farmers in the Salt River
Valley are taking greater interest
in this years fair than ever before,
and the different connties of the
state are laboring nightly to se~
cure representations that will en-
title them to prizes for the best
county exhibit.
From many different portions
of the state have come requests for
entry blanks of the Woman's De-
partment, and the ladies will GER
tainly be we'll represented.
Cowpunchers from as far north
as Montana and from the most
southern portions of Texas are
writing to ask for information and
signifying their intention of enter
ing the cowboy sports.
Cattle and sheep men are apply
ing for stalls and pens and already
new stalls are being erected to take
care of the excess over last year.
The spaces in the Auto Exhibit
Building have all been sold and
the Commercial Exhibit spaces are
going rapidly. Every one is opti-
mistic and the boosting fever seems
to have spread over the enIire
state.

The Tomato Crop

J. N. Christensen, the we'll
known rancher of the San Pedro
district, was a visitor in the city
yesterday on business matters, Mr
Christiansen reports that never be-
fore in the history of ranching in
the San Pedro valley has he seen
such large crop of tomatoes as
b S been raised this year. The
crop has been grown for the Ben
son Canning Factory, who has con-
tracted for the entire lot produced
this year.-Tombstone Prospector
Yes, the report is absolutely
correct. From the farming dis
tricts roundabout comes the news
that the tomato vines are making
renewed efors and yielding boun.
tifully. The farmers will be still
better prepared next year fol-
growing and marketing the crop,
the present season being the first
that many of the growers have
planted upon such a considerable
scale.

COTTON FUTURES
BILL IS ADOPTED
AFTER SPIRITED DEBATE HOUSE
AS A WHOLE VOTES
1O1 TO 20.
IDENTICAL WITH FORMER
Two Cents Pound Tax on Future Cot
ton Solo in Exchanges and Other
Similar Institutions.

Washington.-The house, sitting as
committee of the whole, adopted the
Lever cotton futures bill as an
amendment to the annual agricultural
measure, after spirited debate. The
vote was 1O1 to %. The Lever bill
is Identical with the former cotton
futures law, which was held uncon-
stitutional, by Federal Judge Hough
of New York on the ground that it
was a revenue bill which had improp-
erly originated in the senate, instead
of in the house.
Under the provisions of the meas
ure, tax of two cents pound would
be levied on all cotton sold for future
delivery in any exchange, board OF
trade, or similar institutions or
places of business"
Adoption of this measure came af-
ter the house had passed, by vote
Of 1874 to sc, a special rule providing
for consideration of the cotton future,
grain-trading, and federal warehouse
for agricultural products amendments,
as a rider on the agricultural appro-
priation measure. Under the rule, a
little more than five hours debate on
the amendments was permitted.
