MEXICAN TOWN BURNED.

Mexican town for the second time in two months has been desolated by fire. Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock flames broke out in the new tent will lage, which was erected for the suf- ferers at the former fire of September ? at the 300 level.
 In few minutes several of the larger tent-houses had been consum- ed and it appeared that there would hardly be chance to save any of the houses or few of the effects of the occupants.
 The smoke rose high in the air and enveloped the whole of the northern part of the city.-Jerome Sun.

Y. M. C. A. CENTERS GODSEND
 FOR THE SOLDIER BOYS

The most humanizing organized ac- tivities of war time is the work of the Young Mems Christian Associations, in the training camps, at home, over seas and in the prison camps. Where ever our boys are. sent they will find the sign of the Red Triangle, the Ar my representative of this wonderful organization on hand to welcome them with it's tonic atmosphere of good cheer, sociability and clean liv- ing.
 For splendid constructive work this organization is carrying on is almost beyond description. Any one of the 150,000 of our boys now on the firing line in France and the millions at home in the training camps, would tell you the same thing this Arizona boy wrote to his folks at home:
 "I feel as if you ought to know something of the work of this life saver, the Y. M. c. A. Since the "Y" was opened the dance-hall on Hous- ton Street is deserted. You will re- call when I first landed here l wrote that we had the best crap-shooters and card sharks in the Army. Well, that is thing of the past here. The old cry of Come Baby Joe" and "Stay with me, Phoebe, is no more. The "Y" has the gang. Two of them have become checker fiends, one won the domino championship and the other two are playing on the basketball team and studying French.
 of you have loved ones at home, it is impossible to resist the open ink bottles and the pens and paper which are supplied free. It makes you ashamed to think the "Y" is more in- terested in your home folks than you are. You know that was Stacker when it comes to religion. That was partly due to the way it was handed to me. But the "Y" hands out re- ligion in doses that man can take. It tightens up the halter that gets loose when a man gets away from home.
 "Who pays?
 "I don't know, but whoever it is, God bless them. They are fathers of millions of boys"

stood at 30 cents pound. Within the last few months, the price has drop ped steadily until now it is register ed at 16 cents. Big holders of hides in Arizona have decided that another rise is scheduled and they have refus- ed to sell stock until better prices are offered.
 That there are nearly 10000 hides still held in storage here in Arizona was affirmed by well known Globe dealer who is among the big killers and dealers in beef in the state. When asked to outline the situation, he said: "From information in my posses sion, I believe that hides enough are now in storage in this state of Ari- zona to make at least one pair of shoes for every soldier enlisted under the colors of the United States"
 "Where are they stored and who owns these hides ?" he was asked.
 q own about 1000 of them and have them in storage here," was the unhesitating reply. "A Phoenix com pany has about 2,000 more hides. A firm in Flagstaff have about 1000. There is an outfit in Jerome with about 1,500 hides; one in Douglas with 1000 and one in Bisbee with 1000 more. This makes a total of at least 7,50O hides. A total of at least 2,5O0 or 5000 hides is held by other smaller dealers in the state. There is your total of 10000 hides at least"

WORLD FAMOUS BLITZEN
 AT THE ARIZONA FAIR

One of the big features of the Mo- tor Speed Contest to be held at the. State Fair, November 12-17, will be the appearance of the world famous speed creation, the 300 h. p. Blitzen Benz No. 2, which was driven a mile at Ormond Beach, Florida, by the late Bob Burman in 25 1-5 seconds. The Benz car will be driven here by the universally known speed demon "Wild Bill" Endicott, the veteran King of the Dirt Tracks, who holds the worlds mile record made on half mile track at Toledo, Ohio, in 1914. With the big Benz car this season Endicott feels confident that he will clip a fraction of time from some of the dirt track records he es- says to go after.
 A mile in 25 Is seconds is certainly a wonderful speed accomplishment. Think of it! Al miles in one hour! In five seconds falling body will drop distance of 1885 feet and in the same space of time, Bob Burman has travelled in the Blitzen Benz a distance of 1090 feet. Hence it is very easy to figure that an accident of any kind to the Blitzen Benz trav- cling at that rate, would have re- suited just as disastrously to his anat- omy as thousand foot fall from an aeroplane.
 MT. Ralph H. Hanlsinson has been designated by the International Mo tor Contests Association as the off cial referee of the meeting here, and he announces that such cars as the 290 h. p. Fiat Submarine, the famous Kansas City speed creation, the Swee- ney Special, the 120 h. p. Dusenburg, which has already shown speed of a fraction under Ill miles an hour at the Brighton Beach Speedway, New York, and dozen other high power ed cars, will contest.

Rosebud Sachet.
sake Of variety

An unusual sachet which would be
very attractive for the hat-box or to
keep among lingerie, is a tiny bunch of
rosebuds, such as are used for decorat-
ing boudoir caps, negligees, etc.
The heart of each rose, before being
coiled should be filled with ones favor
lite sachet. In a cluster of eight or
nine roses, the sachet will be large
enough to impart a delicate fragrance.
A sachet of this sort is extremely
dainty and the rosebuds the most cas-

wide and sewed into a little pocket at
one end of the sachet, then wrapped
around and around until 1t is the cor
rect size. A few leaves, cut out Of
green velvet, will be an attractive
contrast.

The Glove has been the text Of
jokes ever since men hit upon it
as means of Disgusting, or rather
overpowering, the odor of other
things which they had put into their
mouths The joke is perhaps near
ly as old as the Glove and as old as
man and his fondness for strong
drink, says the Washington Star.
Notwithstanding that the Glove
has been so useful as a humorous
subject, it. is really an important lit
tie thing in the commerce of the
world, and has been for many CEN

often called the Spice islands, small
group of islands at, the Indian arch

early navigators of the far, eastern

MRS. BI4ATCH. :

Msr. Harriet Stanton Blatch, long
leader in the woman suffrage
movement and president Of the Wo-

Seneca Falls, N. Y, 81 years ago to-
day. Her father was Henry Brewster
Stanton, a journalist and reformer,
and her mother, the famous Eliza
beth Cady Stantoh, at whose home
in Seneca Falls the worlds first
suffrage convention was held. Har-
riet Stanton imbibed suffrage senti-
ments from both her father and
mother, and at Vasssar, from which
she graduated in 1878, she was a

After leaving Vassar she pursued spe-

while abroad she met and fell in
love with an Englishman, Henry

1882. Mr.. Blatch was killed in the
summer of 1915 by coming in con-
tact with live wire blown down by
a storm in a roadway near the Long

troll until the opening years of the
seventeenth century, when the Dutch
took forcible possession of the Spice
islands Not content with the pro-
duce of the wild Glove trees, they set
out Glove plantation in the Nolucca
islands, as we'll ass in many of the
neighboring islands and these parts
of the world continue to this day to
be the chief source Of the supply of
cloves though they are now cultivat-
ed in a number of other lands, but
the cloves of the Indian archipelago
remain the standard Glove Of COM
merce.
The Glove tree has been introduce
ed into the western world and now is,
and for more than a century has
been, grown in Brazil, Guiana and
the West Indian islands. Glove trees
now grow in groves in the Island of
Mauritius, where plantations were set
out under the auspices of the French
in the eighteenth century, and in
Zanzibar and Penba. These last
named islands, off Of the coast of
Africa, have become important pro
ducers of cloves, Java and Sumatra

The word Glove has come down
from the French word "clou,"
which means a nail, because of the
remembrance, partly real and part

bears to a nail.

diment, it has long held a place IN
the distillation of liquor and il medl-
cine. Nearly everybody knows some
thing about oil of cloves, and most
persons at one time or another nave
used it as a remedy or palliative TOT
tooth ache, it being a valuable local
anesthetic which has found use In
professional dentistry as means OF
lowering the sensitiveness of the den
tine of a tooth undergoing repairs.
Oil of cloves is obtained from
cloves by distillation, and the prln-
cipal constituent of this volatile OIL
is called by chemists eugenol. An
other of the main constituents OF OIL
of cloves is hydrocarbOn. Most per-
sons by pressing hard upon a Glove.
or by biting it, have observed that IL
contains a very pungent Volatile OIL
In Pharmacopeia cloves are rated as
of value as a tonic and carmlnative'
but their principal employment IN
pharmacy is in connection with some
other remedy.

tree called by botanists "Egenla cary

grows from 80 to 40 feet tall. 1t mas
crimson flowers that bloom in clus-
tiers at the ends of small branch
es. These are usually from 10 to 20
flowers in a cluster. The leaves OF
the tree are large and oblong. The
cloves, which are the undevelope q
and unfolded buds, are at first white,
then light green and at the time they
are matured enough for. harvesting
are bright red.
In a dried Glove one can easily
identify the four sepals of the flower

Glove is formed by the four peta
which had not unfolded at the tin
of gathering the buds. 1t is sal,
that a Glove tree begins to bear when
it has reached the age of ten years, /
and if it remains healthy will con-
tinue to be productive until 1T has
passed the age of three-quarters OF
a century. The unripe buds are gem
orally beaten from the tree by poles
and are caught in sheets spread on
the ground. After being gathered |
they are dried in the gun. Glove !
planters generally harvest two crops |
a year from the same tree. The !
first crop comes into bearing in June
and the second crop in December.

goods as is SO often practiced.
IAll during the moTning session to-

which heretofore sold at standard
