ne Looked Upon the Apple When IL Was

Western Electric Warming Pad
Marketed by the Western Electric Company, los
West 10th Street, New York


MO MATTER how miserable" you may
~ be, a little heat applied at the right
Il time and in the right place is great
comforter. Also, it helps many times to check
more serious troubles. Hence the fond cling
ing to our old family friend, the hot-wster bag
No matter what the misery" may be-
whether it is grandpas govt, mothers neu-
ralgic headache, or the working Of the inexora-
BILE law of cause and effect after Johnny's raid
on a neighboring apple orchard-the appilca-
ton of this soft pad of eiderdown with the
warm and charitable heart brings immediate
comfort. There is only one case Of "cold feet"
it will not relieve, and as rule only father is
subject to that variety of discomfort.
But the rubber hot-water bag is likely to
spring a leak at the time when it is most
needed, and the metal one is not only hard and
unsynpathetic, but also is often too hot or
too cold.
That is why the Western Electric Warming
Pad. which is SOFT flexible and comforting, In
addition to being under thermostatic control
that shuts off the current at $50 degrees
Fahrenheit, is a personal luxury that one
would not willingly be without 1t fits the
pain, wherever that may be, and it can no more
grow hot enough to burn than 1t can grow cold
while the current is on.
The switch can easily he operated in the
dark. Turn it TO the indented surface when
no more heat is desired. A series of one, two
and three projections indicate the three heats
low, medium and high.
When electricity is 10 cents per kllowatt
hour it costs from one-foUrth to three-fourths
of cent per hour to heat the pad

Uneedit Gas Iron

Made by the Rosenbsum Manufacturing Co"
pany, 1897 Bleeeker Street, New fork lily
The self heating iron has so Enthusiastically
established its claim to be regarded as one
NJ the essentials of an efficient housenoid
continent that even the most conservative
housewife now admits its usefulness as say
or not only of time and labor, but OF fuei. In
.1ese DAYS, time and labor and fuel are very
much to be taken into account IN reckoning
the budget of household expenses and any saw
;nos in these directions are so much clear gain.
The housewife who imagines that there are
onlv two kinds of irons, the old fiat and the
electric, is very much mistaken. Nowadays 10
have gas in the house instead of electricity does
not mean that one must go without the con-
venience Of self-heating iron. The modern
gas iron is wonderfully efficient, easy to manip-
ulate and convenient to USE
The Uneedit Gas Iron weighs five pounds and
is adapted particularly to the lighter WORK
But. if sufficient pressure be exerted, 1t does
quite as we'll with the heavier pieces, such as
linen table napery. Also the wooden handle
means comfort to the worker, for the hands
are never blistered and holder is unnecessary.
Nor will your gas bill be increased to any
startling degree by the use Of this iron, for
when gas is 81 per thousand cubic feet the fuel
needed for keeping it at the right degree OF
heat for three hours steady work costs exactly
one cent.
The Uneedit Gas Iron is made Of nickel
plated cast iron. An ebonized wooden handle
is attached to the top by steel supports. The
cover, which is hinged at the back, raises for
lighting A tubular burner inside the iron
rests on the bottom, and may be removed for
cleaning. Connection is made with the gas
burner by six feet of flexible metallic tubing
Price, $3.50.

the more plebeian growths OF Mother

largely substituted. Like everything

BELIEVES BUCKWHEAT
 WOULD BE GREAT CROP HERE

When the cold stormy winter drives fellow in the four walls of his shack, and he is jamed down in one corner out of the way of the madam of the house and the "trundle-bed- trash" is trying to trample the covers off his toes, puts one to thinking. For some time have been thinking about some thing that pleased me very much. While travelling in southwestern Colo rado few years ago l saw large field of buckwheat. The first I had seen for over forty years. It took my memory back to when I was a boy in Northeastern Ohio, and watched the red-breasted robbin and the meadow lark, perched on the shocks of buck wheat singing their beautiful little songs. The field I saw in Colorado showed by the numerous shocks of buckwheat to the acre to be very heavy yield. This was in Montezuma Valley, near Cortez. l also saw as fine potatoes as are grown any where. There the altitude is about

FORMER COUNTY ATTORNEY
 IS SUED FOR DIVORCE

The other side of the story was told by James Loy in his answer to the suit for divorce brought by his wife,. Mrs. Mary Loy, several days ago. As Loy is an attornew he did not have to employ the service of one to defend the action.
 In general all the averments of the plaintiffs complaint are denied and although the marriage is admitted the defendant disagrees with the plaintiff as to the date thereof. According to the answer the defendant is the in- jured party and iu substantiation of that claim he alleges that "the plain tiff left defendant in Prescott on or about the 10th day of November, 1913, for California, with the understanding and agreement that she would return in about a month." Her absence, it seems was prolonged until the End day of September, 1916, although "de- fendant had requested her often to re- turn during the spring and early sum- mer months of 1914" and went so far as to twice purchase tickets before she returned to the family roof. Her stay there, however, was brief, lasting only from the End of September, 1916, to November 10th of the same year, a period of about 67 days, when she went to Phoenix "where she has resid- ed ever since without the will or con- sent of the defendant"
 I.oy admitted that he and the plain tiff intermarried at Phoenix, but con- troverts the date set forth in the com plaint of his wife, saying it was not on the 18th day of April, 1901, but on the 17th day of April, 1902, that the ceremony took place. While admitting that the couple have a child II years of age Loy combats the idea that it would be for the best interests of the boy to remain under the care and in the custody of the motber, and also denies that $25 a month is a reason able amount for this support. While in the denying line he also puts neg ative on the assertion of friend wife that he has failed to provide her with the necessaries of life and that she has been compelled to rely on her n, nthar apd othar raIatiuac fnr food and clothing, and asserts that he was a liberal provider, giving her every thing conducive to comfort, particu- larly during the time she resided with him. AS to her prayer for support pende lite he says she can come to her home here and lack for nothing while the suit it in progress.-Prescott Min CT. .

GOV. CAMPBELL ONLY SAYS

Governor Campbell was in highly concentrated state of good humor last Saturday night. when hundreds of people crowded the Adams hotel lobby to shake hands with the chief execut- i've. When asked for a statement, that the people of the state might know his attitude as to the decision, the governor had the following to say:
 "INfeel gratified with the decision and only regret that it was not un- animous, as had confidently expected it to be. My confidence in our courts is and has always been strong, and today's action but confirms that opin- ion. This same confidence is held by me in the integrity of the superior court, in which the elction contest is on trial, and firmly and honestly be- lieve it will find me to have been legally elected governor, as heretofore shown by the official returns.
 "With the strength of this faith I will enter upon my new duties and responsibilities as though no contest was in progress, pledging again to the people of Arizona the very best that is in me-"

the same as it is here, but over three hundred miles northeast of Flagstaff. I have been told that potatoes, and buckwheat grow we'll in the same soil and climate.
 What is the matter with few farmers getting a little seed and try ing it out and if success, start a buckwheat industry in Northern Ari- zona? It would require a small roll ing mill, that could be attached to some electric or steam power.
 What brought this to mind was a recent article in Bahbitts Bulletin re- lative to an interview by MT. David Babbitt with managers of the Reid, Murdock & Co. wholesale grocers, re- lative to the high cost of living, in which the manager quoted prices of canned goods in July 1st, 1864.
 It would be safe bet that the pres ent manager of the Reid Murdock & Co.,, was not in business in 1864 or he would have remembered at that time the people of the U. s. were taking care of two presidents, one a Federal and one a Confederate. At that time we were taking care of two great armies grasping at each others throats and spilling blood, as if it was

of no value. There was no gold or silver in circulation. Uncle Sam's credit was so low that S1 in gold was worth 286 cents in paper money. I remember a man whose home was in my neighborhood, but happened to be in the South when the rebellion broke out. He joined the Confederate army. When the war closed he returned home, wearing a pair of boots that cost him $150.00 Confederate money. Cheap money makes high prices, but at the present time, thanks to the powers to be, Uncle Sam's paper is worth 100 cents in gold. We are not at war at the present time, only with Old Mexico and the bootleggers. It does not seem that there has been blood enough split so far to justify such high cost of living as we are enjoying" at the present time, but what is the use of looking backward. Let us look forward to tn near future when we can furnish all Arizona and the southwest with the finest potatoes, and great stocks of "fapjacks," that would melt in your mouth:' They are good for the boys, and make the girls rosy checked.

CAMPBELL WILL RETAIN
 HUNTS MEN SHORT TIME

"I am not going to make any ap- pointments during the contest" stated Governor Campbell Monday.
 q shall expect loyalty and courtesy from all Hunt appointees, and shall work with them to the end that the government of the state shall go on smoothly and without hitch. Unless there is g. disposition to work against me in my de facto position, and the teeth of the incumbents are shown in a beligerent manner, I shall allow all the present appointees to hold their of fees until the matter of the contest is settled.
 There is no reason why there should be partisan loyalty on the part of anyone at the state house, and shall exact and expect to receive the best that is in every one holding an appointive office"
 The above statement will probably be good news to the hordes of Hunt appointees at the state house and in other towns of the state. Practically every office holder whose tenure of service depends on the governor, has been worrying lately, as to when his term would be up. The fact that Gov, ernor Campbell will not relieve them during the contest, at least gives them new lease on life.

.NAVAJ0S VISIT GREAT
 FATHER IN WASHINGTON

A party of Navajo chiefs dressed in full regalia left Gallup for Wash ington, D. C., swhere they have an ap- pointment to see the Big Chief Wood row Wilson on some important busi- ness which concerns the welfare of their tribe and people.
 There were nine Navajos in the party altogether which gathered at Gallup last week and left with Father Weber, who goes with them as their guide and adviser as well as inter preter. Father Weber is the head for many years of the school and mission at St. Michaels, Ariz., and is the author of the first dictionary of the Navajo language ever printed.
 The Navajos who went are among the wisest and most influential in the tribe which numbers over 27,000 In- dians all told. They include Atcitty Neg or Old Platero of Castillo Lake, Nose Gilson of Thoreau, Sam Gray of Marine Lake, and Petaga of the Ra- nah Navajos. Chee Dodge of Crys- tai, Ariz., is the only representative from that portion of the tribe and is the wealtiest and best educated Indian in the delegation. Chee Dodge is the owner of thousands of cattle and sheep and is said to be worth well over $200,000. He keeps several auto mobiles busy most of the time looking after his interests in western New Mexico and Arizona.
 The Indians left wearing their finest turquoise and silver beads, their priceless silver belts and other orna- ments suitable for the occasion of meeting Washington" as the head of the government its always referred to in their language. It is understood that the conference concerns matters of great importance to the Indians, chiefly grazing and range problems.

SHOULD AMEND STATE LAW
 TO HELP PUBLIC LIBRARIES

A correspondent in the last issue of the Coconino Sun very righteously complains that it is unfair to compel the Woman's Club of that city to bear the expense of maintaining the public library, when it has been demonstrat- ed it is such general public benefit to the old as well as the young peo- pie. This should not be. A public library should be maintained with a tax levy on the property, and the present law on the statue books should be amended to permit of such tax.
 The law as it stands at present gives to cities having 5000 population or over the right to levy tax of one half mill to establish and maintain public libraries, enacted probably with the idea that people living in town of less than 5000 had no use for such an institution. We will say to the Sun correspondent that the way to help the woman's club of Flagstaff is to get busy with your senator, Hugh Campbell, and have him offer a amendment to the present law reduc- ing the population required from 5000 to 2000, and then have the city trus- tees make levy to support the lib- rary in manner that such a laudable institution demands. Every incorpo- rated city should be given the power to make tax levy for a public lib- rary, as it will bring greater and bet ter returns to the community for the money expended than any other levy made.
 Now is the time to get action on this matter while the legislature is in session, and write to your senator and member of the house. Let the woman's club get busy. Members of the legi- stature have their ears to the ground always.-Winslow Mail.
