Wonderful Growth.

Milton Fields and Ed Kidwell,
two of the county's prominent
sheep growers, of near Concord,
purchased two yearling thorough
bred Hampshiredown bucks of
Charles Asbury, of Mt. 0livet, on
May 16, paying $25 each for
them. At that time they weigh
ed l26 and 12O pounds, respect
lively. These two bucks were
weighed again on July 16, just
two months later, and they
weighed 1853 and 1870 pounds,
making a gain of forty-eight and
fifty-four pounds each. This is
a remarkable gain in weight and

OF a WIFE
FLOSSIE SMITH
q wonder if I have told you, Mar
gle, that Washington is the city OF
castles. In this regard its hotels are
good illustration. The ShOreham, a
small hotel only about three blocks
from the white house, is the hotel OF
the administration. Here can be seen
almost every day at luncheon the
members of the cabinet, the secre-
tary to the president and other men
connected with the administration
who are known to be particularly his
friends.
It was here that Congressman
Smith had dOmiciled his frivolous lit
tie wife, Florence, who was always
called FlOssie, by her intimates.
"The name was perfectly express
sive of the woman, and Alma told me
a story before l met Mrs. Smith
which illustrated her point. 1t con-
cerned the assistant librarian at the
Congressional library.
"The assistant was a bachelor and
! has on this account greatly worried
one of his sisters, who thought every
man should make at least one good
woman unhappy by marrying her.
"a girl named Flossie seemed much
! impressed by the librarian, and his
sister said to him: Why don't you
marry that little girl who seems to
be so much in love with you, broth
| er mine?'
You surely don't want me to
marry that girl, sister? She is Flos-
sic by name and very Flossie by ma
turep
Flossie! Flossie! What on earth
do you mean by iOssie by nature!
why, my dear sister, a girl who
is Flossie by nature is one who would
not wear a porous plaster without
threading baby ribbon through the
holes

Then we both laughed, for we
knew nothing about the work in
hand.
" I'll tell you what you do. Go up
10 the ShOreham and see FlOssie. She

and at the present moment haven't
an idea about anything, and my con-

Looking at young Congressman
Smith, Margie, I could see that while
he was a man of splendid mind and
presumably fine ideals, yet just now
he was so consumed with the excite
ment and dissatisfaction over his
Job that he could think of nothing
else.
I'll confess that I did not want
to go to work very badly that day,
for Alma had had word from Tom
Perry that morning that JEFF Perry

his car with him.

Bisbee War Denounced
Arizona Governor Lectures Both
Sides in |. w. w. Deportations

PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. 2o.-Both sides
in the controversy between alleged In
dustrial Workers Of the World mem
bers and the Citizens Loyalty League,
of Bisbee, which on July IL deported
more than twelve hundred strikers and
svmpathizers, were taken to task in a
statement to-day by Governor Camp
bell, who recently investigated the War
rem district troubles.
Methods of deporting men without
due process of law were declared by
the Governor 10 be without justifica-
ton, while the tactics alleged 10 have
been adopted by members of the Indus
trial Workers of the World were char
acterized as a "stench in the nostrlls
of decent Americans"
The Governors statement was in the
form of q letter to Sheriff Wheeler
and County Attorney Ross of Cochise
County and Mayor Ericsson of Bisbee.
The Governor said that "henceforth |
shall look to the officials Of Cocfise and
all Arizona counties for cooperation in
enforcement of the laws. IL would be
a disgraceful blot on the history of this
state if we, the responsible officials, are
obliged to admit that our proper func-
tions for the administration of law and
order have broken down and that mar
tal law must be invoked"

to the terms of the Marine Trades
Council. The company is the four

This meeting is expected 10 ratfy the
plans Of the Marine Trades Council

into every shipyard on the Atlantic
seaboard.
The question of tying up yards
which have granted the unions de-
msnds and Ct calling out men in the
Brooklyn Navy Yard to back up the
demands Of the men still on strike is
also expected to come up for discus
sion, but il is no. thought that any
definite action will be taken.
The navy yard workers declare they
have no grievance that would warrant
thew striking. The mechanics are
pleased with the treatment given them
by Secretary Daniels, who has received
several delegations o. workmen and
has satisfactorily adjusted wage SEIZED
ules. The only difference now stand.
ing between the men and the govern
ment concerns payment for overtime
work.
Machinists in every shipyard on
Staten Island, most Of which have gov
eminent contracts, were called out
during the day. The plant Of the
Standard Shipbuilding Company, on
Shooters Island, which has been work
ing under difficulties for weeks, was
completely paralyzed when its machin'

"Your actions in and out of Con-

Your remarks are in direct conflict
