\ BRIGHT IDE A.

The suggestion has been made hy
the McNican commissioners on the in
tcruouonal board Of mediation now
in session at Sew London that neu-
ual zones. twenty miles wide ON each
side OF the border be established and
pauolcd Jointly by the troops Of Mex
leo ana the United States, the rnhabit-
ants on both sides to be disarmcd.
OF all the brilliant ideas that have
originated at New London during the
sessions Of the commission this is cas-
iy Che most sparkling We can i'm
aaiuc, for instance, that the people Of
Texas, who sttll cherish a lively rccol-
lection of tine Alamo, would take en-
Enthusiastically TO this suggestion. We
can also imagine that citizens Of our
own state, remembering Columbus
would glow with gladncs at the idea
of diaarmins and placing their lives
and property at the mercy Of a Joint
patrol while Arizonans living near tho
border would grow hystcrical with de-
light aD such prospect
OF course the proposition ia too alb
aurd 10 warrant serious consideration.
II lis mentioned only for the purpose
of calling attention once moro TO the
opcra-boufrc character of the pro

abb QJERQUE DAY.

II should be- @ matter of patriotic
pride for every citizen Of Albuquerque
10 attend the state fair today. Tho
gay will be observed generally as a
holiday. and there win be- few who
can truthfully say that they can not
afford either tho time or the money
required for the trip.
This is Albuquerqucs own day at
the fair aud u is mp 10 Albuquerque
60 show her appreciation Of the bon-
Gifts that the fnlr brings her Her
merchants have been made more
prosperous. her advantages a4 con-
yention city and a general center Of
population and progress have been
emphasized, money has flowed more
freely through the channels OF trade
In her borders and her people
have enjoyed as never before tho
genuine pleasure Of playing host
to the entire state. An this Al
buquerque owes 10 the fair and it IT,
fitting that she should in some SUBJ
stantial way show hor recognition Of
these blessings.
II is always the case that the at
tendance on Albuquerque day makes
the difference between financial sue
oess and failure in any state fair. ON
the other five days Of the week the
management does well to break even.
Il rs on albuquerque day that the
ledger must be- made TO show a ball
auco on the ught side if there is to
be such balance.
Last year under Robert E. Pumcy
a new standard was act for the fair
but In setting it deficit of several
thousand dollars was incurred
Through tho mmnconco Of Mr. Put
uey this deficit was mudo good and
the account was squared TO PrcH
dent Southland fen the task of Swing
a state fair fully up to the standard
set by Nr Putncy and making il pay
for Itself Tho task was one which
would have appalled, the ordinary
man. but hy the exercise OF wise
economy and q patient determination
Mr. Southord has accomplished it
provided his follow towusmcn stand

in making this country the most

DO Is The home economies that
loom I'D large and in this way one
learns the truth of the saying:
Small things are not small IT great
results come OF them"
Thrift, in the home, should have
as its highest exponent, the wife
and mother. Her aim should be
always to conserve and TO improve
living conditions by the strict prac-
tiCc Of home economies She should
study the markets each morning
just as her husband does. Shel
should watch the pennies as the
business man watches them in his
transactions; she should keep
family budget and personally do
her own marketing. She should
learn TO cook and serve the foods
She buys without waste.

than any written word. Ii is the
LITTLE savings begun in the first
years Of married life that met the
payments on the little homes Of the
widows, the little savings that
reached to dollars and then sull
larger sums, which were invested,
or which paid the lie insurance
and educated the children. Pos
sIbly the greatest benefit Of all
coming from the home where the
housewife is thrifty will be the
frugal habits inherited BY the chill

HOW OUR TWO ARBOR
 DAYS ORIGINATED

This is one of Arizona's Arbor Days. It enjoys the distinction which so far as we know belongs to no other state of having two. The second prob ably resulted from a suggestion by Hon, E. E. Ellinwood, then resident of Flagstaff. Governor Brodie had issued the usual proclamation for the people to plant trees and vines and Mir. Ellinwood on receipt of the pro- clamation sent a communication to the governor stating that he was a law abiding citizen, desirous of com plying with all official requests and commands. He therefore made re- quisition upon the governor for a quantity of dynamite to blast holes in the soil of Flagstaff, which is always frozen solid early in February, in order that he might find an excava- tion for the roots of the trees and vines. The legislature than in session designated another Arbor Day for the northern and mountainous parts of Arizona,-Phoenix Republican.

A Dirge

My friend is dead, while yet so young! Pneumonia in his starboard lung defied the learned physicians skill and laughed to scorn the healing pill. And all his days he was on guard against disease; kept watch and ward to see that no disgusting germ should through his mouth or nostrils squirm. And when convinced that some disease was throwing microbes on the breeze he breathed through an tiseptic gauze-took all the care. that ever was. While others scratched for fame and wealth, he only thought about his health and studied up the playhouse rules of all the foremost health-fad schools. He used sani- tary bed and lived on milk and oat- meal bread and, walked nine miles in rain or blast each day before he broke his fast. His life has closed before it's noon, and l, who care no picayune for rules laid down by mortal man, but and drink what'er 1 can, am here to mourn my friends decease and wish his spirit joy and peace.

Narrow Escape

The other week gentleman was travelling in railway carriage with several soldiers returning from the front They were discussing their experiences and showing the relics they had got. At the end of their conversation the gentleman turned to an elderly soldier who had been silent, and said:
 "Have you got anything to show to your friends 2"
 Thereupon the soldier addressed drew knocker out of his pocket and exclaimed: q was knocking at the door of pub in France one day, and a Jack Johnson blew the house away, leaving the knocker in my hand"
