 ARE ON LEAVE TO
 60 IN NEXT BATCH

Places will be left in the fourth con tingent for all those who have been discharged for periods of from thirty days to six months or more, accord ing to orders received from Federal Agent Breen at Phoenix by the dis trict board at Tucson Thursday.
 It had previously been ordered that those who had received exemptions for periods extending beyond the date of departure of the last contingent would go with the second draft if there was a second draft.
 The new order means that if mans temporary discharge expired even a year hence, he would go to whatever camp there is at that time as a mem- Der of the fourth contingent.

That Deputy Sheriff Percy Bowden has nose for whiskey was demon strated Thursday morning when he and O. E. Patterson of the sherin's force arrested Emil Nokolski and Pet CT Valenda on a charge of bootlegging The arrest was made on the road near Apache. The deputy sheriffs were out looking for bootleggers when Percy spied an automobile coming down the Rodeo road. The officers stopped the men and questioned them as to where they had been and where they were going and what they had. Both of the occupants of the car said they were coming from ROdeo and that they were on their way to Douglas. They said there was nothing in the car. While the men told fairly straight story, Sherin Bowden stated they act ed queerly and he thought a search necessary. so he wen through the ma chine. While he searched every part of the machine he could find nothing until it dawned on him that possibly the men had a false floor in the car. This pToved true. and when Percy and Patterson tore the floor from the car they were rewarded by finding little more than 100 bottles of whiskey They will probably be taken to Tombstone today.

A great victory has been won by the Arizona corporation commission in the case of Charles R. Mccormick and company, versus the Southern Pacific Railroad company, in which the plain tiffs sought to have the interstate com merce commission set aside certain freight rates established by the Arizo- no commission in 1914. Incidentally the victory practically assures the fu- ture of the northern Arizona lumber ing industry, which was placed in jeop- ardy with the bringing of the action. it is stated. Charles R. Mccormick and company sought to have the freight rates fixed by the Arizona com mission on lumber shipments from the northern Arizona mills to points in the southern part of the state increas- ed because they were discriminatory as against the San Pedro jobbers. Had this increase been allowed, it was claimed that the Arizona mills would have been unable to compete with San Pedro and thus their only favorable market would have been ciosed with the ultimate result that the mills could not long continue to operate.

canthema or Canterbury bells can be
transplanted to pots for house decora-
ton by soaking the soil about them
with water and lifting with n ball of
earth. The seeds of the ANIMALS should
be sown In April or early In May. The
seeds of biennials should be sown out
doors early in July, and the plants
may be thinned or transplanted to
temporary quarters as late as Octo-
ber.
The old practice of covering Canter-
bury bells with leaves through the win
ter is not satisfactory. Transplant
them 8 or 8 inches apart in a cold
frame, where they will make large
plants by spring and are as easily
cared for as pansles. In the spring
set them 1S to 20 inches apart in beds
where they are to bloom. In June and
July they flower most profusely, and
are in fine form a long time. They al
SO make beautiful pot plants for Eas-
ter. If sown early in good soil the
hardy perennials will bloom early the
next year. All varieties like rich,
sandy soil, with good drainage.

ric may be used instead of silk, with
good success. Small shepherd check,

black soutache braid will convert the
model into a perfect one-plece street

As pictured the dress is made of a
heavy silk crepe and fastens at the
front with white buttons, set close to-
gether, and loops of silk cord. Down
each side of the bodice at the back
and front n border design in soutache
braid provides a decoration In perfect
harmony with the dress. The design
Is widened at the shoulders to extend
to the arm's-eye. The sleeves are long
and without cuffs, but the braided pat
tern appears at the wrist and three
buttons, matching those that fasten the
dress, are set close together here. A
narrow, fiat sash of the material Is
finished at the end with a bit of hand
some fringe. 1t is tackled to the dress
and looped over at the front. The
neck is managed with the same re-
serve that characterizes the entire de-
sign, having narrow V-shaped
opening, small revers, and cape collar
at the back.

Whole Truth of Buddhism.

Dorm Zenshi, great Buddhist
priest, once lived on top of a tree in n
mountain; so people nicknaIned him
"owl priest" Someone interrupted
his meditations one day with the fol-
lowing question:
''What, in nutshell, is the truth of
Buddha's religionl"
''Eschew all sins and practice all
virtues" replied the priest without
opening his eyes.
"Oh, is that all?' said the man sar-
castically. Even child of three years
can say that"
''Yes, even a child of three years can
say that" rejoined the priest, "but an
old man of eighty years cannot put it
into practice."-Tokyo Advertiser.
