The board of education, realiz-

has been sorely taxed many times
by the inopportune visits Of chill
dren from schools asking for ex-
aminations, have decided to pre-
pare q room for free clinic ex-

give for this purpose. :.
In case you can assist us and
we have children who desire
your services, we will see that
you are notified so that there will
be no need Of your coming to the
clinic unless there is work to be
done.
We also plan to have the nurse
see that the child is at the room

parent if possible. She will be
ready TO render any assistance
necessary, giving whatever his

ciate anything that you may do in

The health committee took action
on the matter OF clinic when the
doctors reported that their Offices
were being crowded with children
and that they came at times when the
doctors otherwise we're engaged. This
was felt to be the best solution OF
the problem.

A NEW YEARS TALE
By Leon Feraru.

tered Abe as he watched his neighbour
Jake, who was jokingly calling to the
passers-by to honor his pushcart. He
must be crazy to be making fun all day
long, when tomorrow is such a sacred
Ion Tow and he hasn't a decent coat
on his back to go to shul in"
Abe's vehicle-store was filled to the top
with a creamy foam of lace, "a penny
yard His patrons made up of the
weaker sex, were rare and particular
His "Hey, Missus, here is a bargain for
you!" had no echo in the purses of the
matrons hurrying along Grand street
laden with bundles and baskets.
"How can he be SO happy?" Abe
mumbled to himself, as his neighbor,
Jake, was laughing again with clear
and jingling voice.
Jakes pushcart was beside Abe's end
to end Abe wore little salt and pep
per mustache above his thin and blood
less lips, had two big and sorrowful
eyes, and a tragic nose, which seemed
to be always mourning. Although not yet
forty, Abe was round-shouldered and
worn out Jake, however, with his blond
goatee and his twinkling little eyes, was
strong and elastic like a steel bar He
spoke with volubility, emphasizing his
speech with an endless laughter. Every
accidental customer was offered a joke
or witty remark as a reward for his
purchase
"A penny a button! Be it golden but
ton or pair of diamond cuff buttOns!"
His pushcart was full of glimmering
pieces of tin and cOlOred glass. He pass
ed his hand over his heap of merchandise
like miser caressing his treasure.
"A penny button! Two for two cents!
If you pay three cents for one, l accept
the bargain!"
That was the way he made people stop
to look at his display of buttons. Then,
once he had the attention of the crowd
he would talk and laugh and joke with
them.
A collarless bum stopped to look with
admiring glances at the multi-cOlOred
limitations of precious stones.
"Its no use your wasting time here
sir You don't need my bargains
And he continued to urge the people
who gathered around his cart.
Buy now, while the shine lasts. To-
morrow they will be rusty
The men laughed. Some OF them
bought few pennies worth of buttons,
although there was no sign of depletion on
Jake's pushcart
Abe could not understand why his laces
did not bring him the same happiness
that the buttons seemed to offer to
Jake. He knew that Jake had the same
troubles he had, and the same sorrows.
How was it that Jake was SO happy, when
he, Abe felt SO utterly miserable?
"Say jake" he questioned him in Yid-
DISH in moment of leisure when Jake's
audience had dispersed, maybe you are
a millionaire"
'Why am l a millionaire?" answered
Jake with question. "Only millionaire
can joke like that, while selling tin but
tons!" objected the mournful Abe.
"Whv shouldn't 7 iOko?"

extraordinary meal.
His head, however, was for once full
of plans. He certainly was not crazy, that
Jake. A new light began to dawn in the
mind of the peddlar. Abe knew that the
hardships he was enduring had killed all
the energy that was in him. He knew
that he was sinking deeper into misery
because he had forgotten his God. And
now, on the threshold of new year, God
sent divine inspiration.
When he reached his tiny rear flat,
the two rooms were full of the vapOr
of boiling water. 1t always panied him
to think that Minnie, his wife, was taking
in washing Now, it was warm and close
inside, although the evening was cool
and sweet The noises in the street did
not cease even at that moment of arm
istice between labor and holiday. The
trains on the elevated tracks ratified past
every three minutes, overshadowing the
houses like the wings of a terrific night.
"The children are sleeping" was Min
MES greeting.
'Have they had supper?"
Eyes. Bread and butter and tea"
In the folding bed, which now occupied
almost the whole living room and kitchen
combined, slept three curly-headed little
Riddles. The gas light did not seem to
trouble their rest. The girls were lying
in each others embrace. The little boy
was smiling in his sleep.
"Have you done good business to-
day."

ring and bread and drank his tea with
out saying word. Then, when Minnie
had cleared the table, he spoke with sud-
den energy.
81 think it is high time to withdraw
our little savings from the bank and open
a small store right here, on Allen Street."
Minnie trembled
81 fear we will lose the little we have"
81 am not afraid of losing it. We must
try. I am tired of my pushcart. There
is nothing like trying. know of store
we can rent. Let's try. The new year
will bring us luck. And next year, when
Rosh Hashana will come, we will well
come the new years as BELTS good Jews"
'My prayer will fill the shul tomorrow"
Lets hope and God will have mercy
on U.S."
God, help u.s."
Abe opened a small lace store on Allen
Street. Customers came and increased.
Abe wondered why he had not done it
long ago. After few months of business
he began to save money. Leah and Annie
and Harold were going to school, and his
wife helped him attend to the store. OF
course, he sold the same foam of laces,
the same insertions and edgings. But
now the twisted and braided and knotted
concentrations laying in gay colored
boxes filled three whole walls from floor
to ceiling
At night, when he locked the double
doors of his store and put out the lights
he would go home to his snug three-room
ed tenement where a table spread with
warm and tasty supper waited for him.

buttons. And these pearls, emeralds,
bookstores, opals, rubies, sapphires,
amethysts, garnets."
One by one, he threw back into the
pushcart the glittering stones, which
sparkled and trembled in the brightness
of the sunshine. They looked like red
and blue and yellow and black and purple
drops of water trickling down from his
fist into a cistern of Kaleidoscope gems.
"They are not tin and glass. They
are pure gold and perfect diamonds.
am not Jake, the pedlar. I am Jacob
Bardishevsky, the wealthy jeweler."
Abe looked at him in amazement.
"No, sir! / am not mad"
And Jake leaned over and shaking his
blonde goatee whispered into Abe's trans
parent ear,
81 am as happy as millionaire"
Don't make fool of me, Jake" spoke
Abe, 81 know that your children have no
shoes, the same as my children-that
your wife is probably working as hard as
my wife-that your bottoms bring you no
larger income than my laces. | am sure
that the new year will bring us no better
fortune"
"That's your mistake" shouted Jake.
And again bending over to Abe's ear he
whispered,
81 always have hope in the new year."
"Hope?" exclaimed Abe, 81 have no
hope!"
"That's the trouble with you, Abe. You
are losing the talisman God put into your
heart"
Then with a serious mask on his
features, Jake resumed:
"Do not lose that precious gift that is
within us. God put it there with His own
sacred hand, glorified be His name for
ever! Live, struggle and hope!"
AS though ashamed of his seriousness,
Jake again gathered up handful OF but
tons and began to pour them into his
pushcart.
Real gold and diamonds, l tell you!
l am not Jake, the collar pedlar. am
the wealthy jeweler. | am millionaire.
| am Rothschild. | sell it for penny
just for fun. Come, good people, come
and get a baragin Only a penny

ruptedly. Abe went back to his laces,
graver and more thoughtful than before
The words Jake spoke to him had
strange effect upon him. Abe did not
know Jake intimately. He had met him
daily on the sidewalk. That was all. He
knew no details about his life, nor did he
underste nd his character. To him he
was merely man identified with the
long line of pushcarts, his fellow-pedlar
assigned by destiny to the role of fight
ing near him the battle Of existence. Yes,
he was right. Why lose hope? Why not
believe that God has a day reserved for
him, when he will reach that blessed
moment of luck?
1t was late in the evening when Abe
started for home The creamy foam of
lace still filled the cart he pushed before

DAIRYING GREATEST
Former Arizona Man Says This Indus try Will Soon Take Precedence
 In Arizona

A great deal of interest has been manifested locally in the rapid growth of the dairy business in Phoenix. One of the farmer pioneers is D. O. Lively, who in the middle nineties was in con tact with and interested in thorough bred dairy and high grade beef herds in Salt River Valley and other parts of Arizona. MT. Lively now of Los Angeles recently had occasion to check up present conditions as com pared with the conditions twenty yaers ago, and is very enthusiastic regard ing the rapid development of this i'm portant industry of the Salt River valley, and predicts that before long dairying will be one of the greatest industries in the state. Mir Lively is offering an especially fine, tuber- culin tested herd that due to personal conditions he finds it necessary to sell at this time. In the herd is one bull that is the son of 1852 pound COW. and great grandson of the King Of Pontiacs. MT.

AN Objection to the Income Tax

The Douglas International usually lends its ap- proval of official democratic conduct in national affairs but withholds it from that feature of the bill amending the income law We object it. too, but for the same reason that that his share of the is already vastly heavy. Our objection is that it is geographically unfair in tended like much other legislation by the present congress, to favor especially the south. The exemp tons provided in the bill leave still large incomes inaccessible to the tax gatherer.
 But there is objection urged by the Inter national in behalf of the -proletarat that member of the body polite. The International would have the exemption far reduced that incomes of than 5000 $500 should bear share of the burden for. says the International, Tt would give our popuationa much needed acquaintance with the of government and it would excite lively interest in all parts of the country in the coec tion of moneys due on big incomes hidden
 Desirable acquaintance with the machinery of government may be- the average citizen would probably prefer forego it than to pay a tuition amounting to two per cent of his income of say 5000 $500. Twenty dollars taken from 5000 O s30 taken from Sl500 doesn't seem to be much but it is deal the who already finds difficult to keep from slipping backward
 The exemption should be sufficiently high that the tax the income would impose a real ship the who pays it and the bigger the in- beyond a certain figure the greater should be the

The Improved Temperature of Tucson

Napoleon is said to have reduced the stature of the French people by two three inches by his fearful drains upon the manhood of France for his war of world d-conquest. That great achieve ment but nothing in comparison with what Editor Allan B. Jaynes of the Tucson Citizen has plished in the way peace though hardly by peace ful methods for Tucson He has improved the climate of the Santa Cruz valley by looping off three degrees of temperature. It took MT. Jaynes almost long make this reduction it did Napeoleon shorten Frenchmen.
 The readers of The Republican have from time to time been apprised of the warfare between Mir. Jaynes and the national weather bureau. The bureau had been taking observations at the Magnetic Ob- servatory and the results showed a temperature in excess of that of Phoenix by an average of two degrees. That result appeared absurd to Mir Jaynes, who regarded altitude important factor in tenn perature the altitude of Tucson being somewhat higher than that of Phoenix according to Jaynes' formula the temperature should be lower
 If the temperatures of Phoenix and Tucson had thus been brought into comparison MT. Jaynes probably would not have objected to the Magnetic Observatory showing: he did care a continental. a Persian coin. known a dam how hot it might be Tucson just it in Phoenix
 Mir. Jaynes further complained because only temperature. the maximum, taken at the Mag netic Observatory. thus ranking Tucson with the station at Tatoosh, island off the Washington coast papably unfair that Tucson with it's culture and refinement should thus be leveled with Tatoosh whose inhabitants mostly uncouth Eskimos.
 But for years the national weather bureau was obdurate. The dispute waxed acrimonious. The bureau replied hoty to MT. Jaynes' charges of archaeological fraud. It is probable that entente between the weather bureau and MT. Jaynes would never have been reached but for political events which quietly shaping themselves and of which the weather bureau until they actually in shape Frank H. Hitchcock, a poten- tialy powerful political parsonage, personal friend and business associate of MT. Jaynes single handed and alone attempting procure the nomination the reluctant Charles Evans Hughes for the pres dency. That brought about and Mir Jaynes became the national republican committeeman from Arizona Now he provided with Arehimedean lever by which the national weather bureau might be lifted of it's boots. It appeared reasonably certain that MT Hughes would be elected and if so Mir. Hitchcock would be without to his ear. Likewise the mcrophonc plants of Editor National Committeeman Jaynes for meteorological reform especially with respect to Arizona It appeared evidently to the national director the with the editor than to surrender gnominiously to the national committeeman.
 Hence it was decided to raise Tucson above the level of Tatoosh and give Tucson both minimum and maximum temperatures taken not by proxy at the distant Magnetic Observatory but at Washington Park within the corporate limits of Tucson.
