Lace Crochet in Night Gowns

However much we admire and Won
der at the marvellous ingenuity that
adapts machinery to lace making, and
however pretty machine-made lace
may be, they can never hold the same
place I'm the regard Of women that
handmade laces hold. This Is the rea-
son that everyone is so industriously
crocheting and knitting and making
tatting In these busy days. Even busi-
ness women, on elevated trains or cars,
going to and from offices, often prefer
lace-making to reading, and probably
have about as much definite knowledge
Of current events as those who devote
themselves everyday to newspapers. At
all events they have something to show
for their time.
Handmade laces are more durable
than those made by machines-as a
rule-and they make the most accept
able of gifts to woman friends. Just
now yokes for gowns, or corset covers,
or combinations, appear to have seized
the attention OF those who know how
to crochet. The time spent on them
is well invested for they will wear al
most lifetime II made of strong,
mercerized cotton thread. Even those
of finer threads are strong.

The yoke is not an unusual pattern, so
that anyone familiar with the work
will know how to make one like 1t. A

knotted loops of the ribbon form the

STALE MILK CAUSES SCOURS
Pals and Utensils Used In Feeding
Calves Must Be Kept Clean to
Avoid Diseases.

Old or stale milk often causes indi-

to miss feed than to have n feed Of
sour milk Pals and utensils must be
kept clean.
A good rule Is to keep the calf pals
as clean as the milk pals. The hand

PREVENT cows LYING DOWN
Iowa Man Has Practical and Inexpen-
slve Device Attached to the
lmmovable StanchIon.

In the summer or spring, or at other
times after rains, the yards around
the barn are muddy. The cows are
driven into the barn preparatory to
milking. They are fastened In the
stanchions. The result is that the
floors become dirty and dusty. The
mud comes of the feet and adheres
to the platform on which the cows
stand. Again, 1t is not infrequent for
cow to lie down on the dirty plat
form, and another COW to urinate on
that cows tail. 1t Is rare thing that
two or three cows out Of ten will not
lie down before you are ready to
milk. To prevent them from lying
down for an hour or more while you
are milking, Is the object Of the device
here illustrated, writes ]. N. Muncey

MINSTREL SHOW ID BE GIVEN BY
 ELKS
Preparations Being Made for Big Pro- Guction-AII Local TaIent-Officers For Ensuing Year EIected-New Members Initiated.

The local lodge B. P. O. Elks are making preparations for one of the biggest and best minstrel shows ever presented to the Clifton public by an all home aggregation. The details have been tentatively worked out and according to the program thus lar arranged consists of the best talent to be procured among the members of the district.
 As outlined by the committee in charge the ensemble will consist of twenty members, while eight jolly end men will furnish an abundance of fun. Special costumes will be se- cured and the setting while not elab- crate will be pleasing to the eye. The jokes will be new and up to date and the musical selections have been chosen. with great care and great deal of pains will be taken in drilling the chorus to perfection.
 The date for the performance has not yet been set but will be announc- ed later. The whole affair will be under local supervision, no outside aid being solicited. The first appear apce will be in Clifton and it is the intention of those in charge to also favor Morenci and Metcalf with performance.
 Some excellent talent is to be found among the membership in the district and the success of the affair is assured from the start. The proceeds of the performances will be devoted to char itable purposes. which in itself should be the means of filling the house at each performance, and it is hoped that the boys efforts will be rewarded with large crowds when the dates are decid ed upon.
 The regular meeting of Clifton Lodge No. 1174, B. P. O. Elks was held on Wednesday evening of this week at which time officers for the ensuing year were elected. Five new memb- CTS were also initiated. This was one of the largest meetings of the lodge in some time, there being present 115 members besides several visiting brothers Following the business meeting and initiation refreshments were served and the remainder of the evening was devoted to sociability. Those to penetrate the mysteries of the order were F. L.. Adams, w. M. Ryan, M. D. Siddle, E. M. Watson and Geo. D. Martin. The officers se- lected for the ensuing term are as follows: Exalted Ruler, E. c. Fitz- gerald; Esteemed Leading Knight, A. w. LiddeIl; Esteemed Loyal Knight, D. Rodney Ellis; Esteemed Lecturing Knight, G. L. Cashion; Secretary, Louis Bernstein; Treasurer, J. B. Brown; Tiler, H. E. Corder; Trustees J. G. Cooper and R. H. Pringle. Past Exalted Ruler F.

Information is being eagerly await ed from Mogollon by the Board of Supervisors and Greenlee County Chamber of Commerce to the effect that the directors of the Socorro Min ing and Milling Company have fol- lowed the lead of the Mogollon Mines Company and will authorize their General Manager to cooperate in building the cutoff highway connect ing Clifton and Mogollon.
 As stated before in these columns, MT J. s. Kidder, general manager of the Mogollon Mines Co.,, has receiv- ed authority from his company to en- ter upon the enterprise and the mat ter is now under consideration by the directors of the Socorro Co.,, in the same district, and the indications are that their decision will be favorable.
 The distance from Clifton to an in- tersection with the present Silver City-Mogollon road is approximately 5 miles. Eighteen miles lying with in Greenlee county, Arizona, and sev- enteen miles in Grant county, New Mexico. The cooperative plan pro- rosed is that Greenlee county would build the highway to the New Mexico line and the Mining companies of the Mogollon district would complete the road on the New Mexico side. The survey already completed on the New Mexico side by the mining companies shows that there are no serious grades to be encountered and automo- piles can already cover fourteen miles Of the proposed road, except at several points The cost to the mining com- panies on the New Mexico portion of the new road would be paratively II oIoh Ivy fn thousand dollars for f1rst-class high way. The Greenlee county part of the highway would be more expensive, a preliminary estimate placing the cost at approximately seventy-five thous- and dollars.
 The Mogollon Mines Company alone has spent $116,222 25 for haulage charges between Silver City and Mo- gollon during the past three years and this probably represents not more than one-third of the total cost of the haulage into Mogollon as the freight hauled by the Socorro Mining and Milling Company averages somewhat higher than that of the Mogollon Mines Co.,, and in addition, the town freight, including that of mum. Der of small properties and saw mill operating for the benefit of Mogollon adds about as much as is paid for haul age by one of the mining companies.
 The haulage cost from Silver-City to Mogollon is $23 % per ton or $1. 15 per hundred. It is safely estimated that this haulage cost can be reduced 9 per cent by the building of the Clifton-Mogollon road and large part of this money spent for haulage would find its way into the business chan DelS of this county

PA[AT|AL HOTEL ID BE BUILT AT
 ROOSEVELT

The biggest tourist hotel project ever planned for Arizona, carrying with it an expenditure of $3OO,OOO, has just be- come known.
 The Southern Pacific railrdad is going to erect on the shores of Roose- velt lake the biggest and most lux urlous hotel in the southwest. It was announced yesterday that land to the extent of several hundred acres had been leased and that the hotel would be completed within the next nine months.
 The fact that the Southern Pacific is going to build a hotel at Roosevelt will come as a welcome surprise to the people of the Salt River valley If there ever was an ideal site for a tourist hotel it is at Roosevelt. The weather is never cold there, in spite Of the fact that it is in the mountains. The water in the lake is cool the year round, and bathing is to be enjoyed almost any month.
 As planned by the Southern Pacific, the new hotel will occupy the site of the Webb lodge, which at present does service as hostelry at the dam.
 The building itself is to cost $250,- oeG, while another $100,000 will be spent in beautifying the grounds. One of the specially inviting features will be large pleasure boat to be built for the use of guests at the hotel There is no finer fishing in the world than at the lake. It is expected hun dreds of disciples of Izaak Walton will take advantage of the superior boat ing facilities of the dam, and make the new hotel their headquarters
 The island which lies just back of the dam is to be converted into a fairy paradise. Small boats will run be- tween it and the hotel on the main land. Golf links and tennis courts will be laid out on the island.
 The Webb lodge will be torn down and the land around it will be leveled and beautified by expert landscape ar lists in the employ of the railroad con- pany.
 Every year the Southern Pacific brings hundreds of tourists over the Apache Trail, via Roosevelt, into Phoe- nix. With the completion of the hotel this will mean a ten-fold increase in their number. With the added hotel facilities, it is expected that a goodly share of the people making the trip to the coast for pleasure will stop at the dam.
 No doubt with the erection of the hotel, steps will be taken to see that the Apache Trail is put in better re- pair. This will mean that hundreds of machines from Phoenix will make the trip, to spend the weekend and enjoy the fishing.
 Vice President E. O. Mccormick of the Espee, with a party of officials, has just returned from the dam.

GOVERNOR PLEDGES ID GUARD THE
 BORDER

PHOENIX, March 3-Gov. Thomas F. Campbell has pledged Arizona's manhood, Arizona's wealth, and Ari- zona's natural resources to the last iota to President Wilson in case of war.
 The governor who stands for all things patriotic, has in answer to a query from the New York World, wired that organ that not only himself believes the presidents wisdom and judgment entitle him to the support of congress and the nation, but that in event of war he will see that Ari- zona protects her own borders, with her own men; furnish her full quota of volunteers, and that he himself will offer his services and full regiment of cavalry at his back
 Following is a copy of the wire he sent out last night to the World:
 q believe President Wolson's
 wisdom and judgment entitle him
 tc the fullest confidence and CO.,
 operation of congress in this cri-
 sis. Arizona stands to man
 squarely behind our president.
 This state will furnish in a pinch
 such as the Zimmerman note
 forecasts not only enough men to
 protect our Mexican border, but a
 full quota of volunteers; and if
 war is declared, I'll offer to raise
 within our borders and within
 short time a cavalry regiment
 that shall not be second in person
 nel and fitness to the Rough Rid
 CTS in 1S98."
 In regard to raising regiment of cavalry, the governor is not by any means using just words to inspire in the people a whole-souled patriotism and belief that Arizona is to do her share to protect the flag, but he is in deadly earnest. He has always been an advocate of preparedness and of using Arizona's cowpunchers to or ganize an especially powerful branch of the mounted arm of the service.
 That he will be successful in his attempt, there is no doubt. There are hundreds of expert horsemen in the state who are personal friends of the governor and would be more than will ling to follow him to Valhalla or any where else he asked.
 The first offer of men he has re- ceived has come from Chloride and lis from J. T. Degnan. The wire. which was received by the governor at Globe last night, is as follows:
 Tn the event you are going to raise a regiment of cavalry as referred to in the Associated Press dispatches. Mojave county may be counted upon to furnish one complete company of men,
 There is not the shadow of a doubt in the minds of those close to the gov ernor that he will make good his offer and that in case of war Phoenix will probably be the mobilizing point for the regiment
