ARIZONA BOYS IN CAMP
How Troop "A" of the First U.

Cavalry Live
 A letter from J. D. Raudebaugh to W. J. Gregg tells of the soldier life of the Flagstaff boys who enlisted in the cowboy regiment and who are known as "Teddy's Terrors." The let ter will be of interest to many of our readers and is as follows:
 "Friend All will endeavor to give you short description of militia ry life in our new quarters. We are quartered in Roosevelt hall, four miles from San Antonio, Tex. We now have nearly 400 men and all ex- cept the guards are supposed to be in bed at 10 o'clock p. m., all out after that hour get to visit the guard house for eighteen hours. We, that is, Troop A, under Capt. W. O. O'Neill, have not had a single man in the guard house yet.
 "Our eating is well--lots of it, but, oh, how it is prepared. Seven of the boys are detailed as cooks to serve in that capacity for three days, when they are relieved by others until every one has served as cook. We get plen- ty of coffee, boiled beef, salt pork, and three days out of ten, potatoes boiled with their jackets on, raw onions and once day we get soup or stew (Mul- Hgan the boys call it,) and it is all the leavings boiled together. Three days in the week we get crackers the rest of the week we have biscuits and all that is left is saved for "canon balls" I shall wear one over my heart, as l know no Spanish bullet can pierce it.
 "A of Troop A have uniforms. The suit is of brown sea weed and looks like common ducling, but is much lighter and stronger. Leggings, brown. Hats with 2h inch brim and of slate color, and a air of govern ment shoes. They are heavy, but easy on the feet. Each has a blanket, a horse or saddle blanket, and poncho, the latter of light rubber, as cover for our bed, or to throw over one when riding in the rain. Our horses are bay and I got good one, year old. thought he would not buck, but this morning at guard mount he shook me up in a lively way.
 q am excused from all guard and drill duty, as I am serving as post master. l have to stay two hours each day in the tent and the first sergeant calls for each troops mail, and the rest of the time I gather mail and sell photographs. I have sold over 100. I enclose photos of tour mascot" a mountain lion, and "our dog" a favorite with everybody, our regimental flag and the hall building.
 "All the boys are broke and Dan Hogan says he will have to ask our people to soon take up collection for us, but I don't think it will be necessary as we will have pay day. can loan money $1 for $1.50 per month, and I am afraid that it won't last long long enough for me to get back what I have loaned out.
 "Our arms and ammunition are ex- petced tomorrow and if they come we will leave for Galveston in few days as Arizona and Oklahoma were here first and all four troops are under Ma jor Brodie, we will have orders to move first. We each received tin plates, frying pans, with folding hand les, tin cup; knife, fork and spoon, all marked U. s.

Should Discard Bad
Business Methods

For some time past The Times has
observed that a considerable number
of farmers, who live in the trade ter
ritory that really belongs to Farm
ington, have a habit of going else
where to do their trading. For in
stance, Fredericktown, Coffman and
Mine La Motto draw trade that should
come to this city, when distance and
convenience is considered.
Further investigation along this
line has developed the fact that many
of those who are habitually going to
other points to trade have the idea
that other places Gan and do supply
their needs more satisfactorily. One
of the causes for such feeling appears
to be that at other places farmers
can get cash for their products, while
in Pennington they are compelled to
"trade it OUT, or receive trade checks,
or slips, if they are to receive the best
prices for their produce.
The Times believes there is more or
less misapprehension of the real con-
ditions that have fnstilled this idea
in the minds of many of the producers.
The facts are. that they can get cash
for their produce in Pennington, as
well as elsewhere, though the cash
price may be little Niess than if they
should atrade it out" In other plac-
es it is the cash price that controls
the sale of produce, and with the cash
the seller has the privilege OF trad
| ing wherever he desires.
That is about all there is to it. But
it is the effect that counts against
| Farmingon. There is no doubt but
Pennington merchants can pay. as
much, in cash, for all kinds of farm
products as can be secured in any sur
rounding towns. The trading check
doubtless came into use here through
a desire on the part of our merchants
to "pay little more" than merchants
in other, places were paying, and were
| therefore compelled to pay in trade
checks" ..
| 1t occurs to The Times that if the
use of the "trade check" was dispens.
ed with, and that the merchants woulc
pav for all produce in cash, that II
would be a more successful plan FOL
all Pennington merchants. The!
would in this way hold all their pres
ent trade, which would be increased
by winning back" trade that is nov
going elsewhere. There is natura
opposition among many people to th'
! "trade check, whether right o
wrong. But that there is such a feel
ing of opposition to the "trade check
; we know, from the mouths Of thos
, who are carrying trade checks. Whel
! you attempt to force people to trad
!. with you, then, the chances are, yo1
arouse their opposition. There |
!, I, small doubt that it would be to tn
advantage of every merchant in Farm
= ington if the "trade check" wer
r thrown aside, and cash only were use
\ in buying produce. Then, the chanc
y es are, the farmer who brings hi
i produce to your store would buy a
a many goods, and pay for them in casf
o as though he were compelled to &C
cept trade checks. This is an i'm
: portant matter. 1t is up to you, MI
e Merchant. What do you think abou

Mrs. Moothart has been since last
