where he has placed them on display.
 The Bisbee Review speaks of them as follows:
 It is simply impossible to describe these crystals, or stalagmites, or what ever they may be. People rave about beautiful specimens of coral from the blue depths of the sea, but never was there a coral as delicate and beautiful as these crystals from a black, un- slightly, commonplace cave in a copper mine in the depths of our ugly noun tains here at home. One of these speci- mems resembles a great, white flower, it's crevices and creases and deep frost work tracery being every whit as deli cate and beautiful as the petals of a flower. And it is snow white-glitter- ing, gleaming white.
 Another specimen resembles the roots and stump of a small shrub and it is ivory white, and has long tendril and wine tracery, rather than the flower petal effect of the white crystal
 In looking at these most beautiful white ctystals that have come from such a dark and gloomy home as a mountain cave, one cannot help but wonder at the whim and fancy of Ma ture in this creation. Surely no crystal palace or onyx cave or show place of

FORHOARD|NC SUGAR ANDFtOUR, FAMILY IF
 C[ARKDALE |S FINED

As the outcome of the first case of household boarding to come to the at tention of the enforcement division of the food administration, George Gilbert of Clarkdale has been permitted to contribute $25 to the Red Cross, and a sack of sugar to war charities.
 On September z Gilbert, intending to move to Prescott, made a shipment of household goods to the latter point. The goods were packed in boxes and a sus- picion was aroused that one of them contained a sack of sugar and a sack of flour.
 Acting upon information furnished by E. w. Carroll, deputy county food administrator at Jerome, County Food Administrator H. D. Aitllen ordered the goods held and examined. The exami- nation disclosed a 4Spound sack of wheat flour and a sack of granulated sugar weighing 73 pounds net. The presence of the latter was considered evidence of boarding, and this was con- firmed by Mrs Gilbert when she called for the goods.
 She explained that she had purchased the sack of sugar from a Chinese store in Phoenix nearly year ago. This in connection with a detailed record OI sugar purchases by the Gilbert family from the T. F. Miller company of Clarkdale., showing regular purchases from January to July inclusive of this year, conclusively established the charge of boarding.
 When faced with the seriousness of l the situation, the Gilberts disavowed any intention of wrong doing, and stated their willingness to submit to l a voluntary fine. A contribution ot 1 S25 was suggested and this was ap- | proved by the federal food admins l trator. The sugar is held by the food 1 authorities and will be turned over tt ] war charities.

Amendment 100

There is a general misunderstanding regarding Inc workmcn's Compensation act which will appear the official ballot at the election week from next Tuesday as Amendment 1OO No day has recently passed that has not brought to this office inquiry concerning it. Many inqurers had impression that the act was proposed by organized labor that the labor leaders were urging it's adoption

It has the support of business men, em- blowing corporations and taxpayers who have made study of it It has the support also of many union men and a few labor leaders, but all the radical labor leaders. without exception. against it. op- posing bitterly and many of them grossly mis- representing it.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-All clocks in the United States should stop for one hour at , a. III. Sunday morning, October 27, and then again take up the procession of the hours.
 The country will then be back upon a sun-time basis, and finished with its first seven months of daylight saving experiment. Some minor diff ficulty in transportation and industry will be involved in this return to nor nal time, but for most people, the change will mean nothing more than an extra hour of sleep on Sunday morning, a belated return of the hour they lost in March when clock hands were jumped forward 50 minutes by act of congress,
 Practically. clock hands are set for ward with less trouble than they are set back, due to the mechanical ar rangemact of their interiors. The average householder does not need to be warned but it may be well to un- | derstand that the best plan will be | to stop the clock Saturday night, and start it right again Sunday morning. |. The telegraph clocks-Of which there are 5O,0 now in operation by the Western Union company, electrically wound and set-will have to be prop erly adjusted by the company's force, which is now planning to do the work on Sunday, except in locations where the users are awake at night them selves, and can be given special keys with which to do the setting. The | delicate master clocks which correct thte 50,000 every hour will be changed 1 at the same time, as will be the gov ernments radio and wire signaling ar rangement which is the scientific basi. | of the time system.
 Adjusting railroad train movements proceeding over the time changing

PEACE PROPOSALS
 WARM FROM GUNS
 LETTER DESCRIBES

Some of the discomforts experienced by the boys over there are described in a letter received from Corporal George Peter by his father D. J. Peters. It is an interesting letter and we are now sending over to the Ger mans" Corporal Peters is in the first line, he says. Following is the letter;
 FRANCE, Sept P, 191S Dear Dad:
 It has now been several days since l have written to you all, and also a long time since l heard from you, this is the first time I have had any time paper or ink, so will try and make the best of it.
 At last we are up on the first line eNd are busy sending warm peace proposals over to the Germans. I like it much better than back of the lines, as there is something doing most all the time. One learns things very fast up here, and believe me, one of the first things you learn to do is to kiss the ground and do it quick. I have all the skin off my face now from go- ing to the ground so much.
 It rains most of the time up here so it makes things rather disagreeable. am writing to you while in the shel- ter of an old German dug out, which the Germans left in a great hurry They left most everything. I have several helmets. rifles, and other Ger man things, which 1 have found close by, but they are so common up here that it don't pay to save them. I haven't had a shave or a change of underclothes or socks for a long time, and if I don't get somewhere so that I can clean up soon I expect the ''cooties" will take full possession of me. Sherman said war was hell" l don't think Sherman knew what war was Tall When I get back I will have lots of interesting things to tell that I cannot tell in my letters.
 I have been in the army almost q year now, and I think that another year will let me out, at least I hope so I think that the Germans are getting about all the war they want, and they have also found out that the Ameri- cans don't fight with kid gloves on.
 I was very glad to get your letter and I think you done fine in the store and I hope the war won't effect the business too much.
 Don't expect mail too often from me for a while for I doubt if I will be able to write very often, but will dc the best I can.
 Give my love to all and don't worry

same time, the complicated system Of train orders and train schedules is such that the railroad administration general order specifically puts it up to local arrangements to use their own discretion and to protect train move ments by other methods if they find it necessary. At any rate. Sunday morning must find the railroads throughout the five time belts in the United States moving trains on the regular schedule and in the new time, so far as it is possible.
 Evidently day light saving was a distinct success. for Chairman Baruch of the War Industries Board asked congress to extend the hour-ahead system through the coming winter. The senate unanimously passed a bill to enact his recommendation into law but the bill died in the house. Senator Calder who fathered the | law, has declared that extra daylight saved s2000000 in gas bills for the people The fuel administration esti- | mated that on the seven month basis | 1.250000 tons of coal had been saved, to relieve possible winter shortage. Definite reports from St. Louis said consumption of coal had dropped 17.5 | tons per thousand population.
 These estimates were worked out by comparing the coal consumption of central stations with previous years,
 to determine how much less electri-
 cal energy and gas for lighting had
 been utilized.
 These were the demonstrabe fea-
 lures, and enthusiasts for the daylight
 saving plan placed no limit on the ex
 tra health and enjoyment of life se
 cured by the masses of people who
 found themselves free to use the out
 doors under the sun for an extra hour
 after concluding work. Charles Lath-
 rop Pack, head of the national war
 garden commission, asserts that the
 crop from the home plots this years is
 worth s525000000, an increase of 51 per cent over the 1917 results, and
 gives much credit to the evening day light hour for the result.

Open Letter to Senator Golfer
 FIFTH LETTER

 Hon. Fred T. Colter, Phoenix, Arizona Dear Senator Colter:- In your letter of the twenty-thrd you ask me, Are there no principles at stake in this campaign which you are willing to defend?' Again you state, 'Get down to the real issues of this campaign, Senator Wilkinson" Your anxiety to discuss other issues suggests your discomfiture when looking the Constitution squarely in the face You, fellow Senator of mine, sworn with me to defend the Constitution, seek office to which the Constitution says you are not eligible ill words clear and certain that he who runs may read and interpret. Then when responsive to my oath State Senator, l call the attention of yourself and of my constituents to the fact of your ineligibty you plead with me to discuss issues of State with you.
 It were the height of absurdity to publicly discuss with you the program you would carry out if Gov ernor at time when you under the Constitution are not eligible to become Governor For me there is but one principle at stake in your campaign, and that one I shall defend with all energy.
 conceive it to be my high mission in rounding out my term of office as State Senator to see to it that my constituents understood that you, in your race for Governor are running in direct opposition to the Constitution.
 Very sincerely yours,
 H.B. WILKINSON,
 State Senator, Maricopa County. P S.-LEST YOU FORGET
