where he could build a dam. He ex- plored and found it to be true and since then one of the ponds over Durham way has been called Miller's pond. MT. Miller can recall his boy hood days in Middletown and the stripped bass he caught in the Con- necticut river. The water was soI pure in those days the vessels always filled their casks in the river. Now it is a sorry contrast. Shad were so plentiful in the Connecticut then that they sold for 12 1-2 to 25 cents apiece. MT. Mnlers father always salted half a tub full, but salt shad was never g. favoriae dish with his sons. The Cleopatra and Bunker Hill were the river steamers in those days and their paddlewheels were capable of stirring up some muss. It was within a few years that MT. Miller disposed of his fathers house | in South Farms, Middletown, to Frank H. FrisseIl, superintendent of the Russell Manufacturing Co. of that place, who moved the old house and erected a residence Wpon the site. His grandfather's old house,
 nearly 200 years old, is s2so stand

TO KEEP CORN MEAL

w. E. Doty, a Miami baker, is au- thority for. the statement that no housewife should exper:snce the slightest difficulty in keeping corn meal or milo maize meal on hand dur ing the summer, even throughout the hottest weather without contamination by weevil if the proper precautions are observed
 Meal in sacks, he says, should be set on small platform to keep it off the floor, and so arranged that there is an air space on all sides. The outside of the sack should be carefully dusted at least once week. In addition fresh hops should be sprinkled around the sacks. These hops grow wild in many portions of Arizona. z &A l'a@~
 This is method which MT. Doty has followed in his bakery and which can be adapted by any housewife to meet her needs. Meal placed in open bins does not keep so well. 1t has more of a chance to heat and the in- sect which lays the egg for the weevil has better opportunity to get into the meal than when it is contained in a cotton bag "1

Hawkins CANDIDATE
Continued from Page

Continued from Page l) In 1893, MT. Hawkins was elect: ed to the House of Representa- lives to represent Midland and 29 other counties, and during the ferm was author of the law crea ting the Livestock Sanita- ry Commission, of5Texas, which has been productive of very good results. He was later dis trict attorney of the 23nd Jud icial District. In 1901. he was again elected a member of the House, of Representatives, and in the same year became known ,astheo author .s of the# School Land Law, which opened up the western part of the state to thousands of families and add ed millions of dolalrs to the tax rolls of the state. MT. flaw kin's political record is a most unique one in that he has never taken advantage of political position to secure further grip on public patronage and has al ways refused to allow his name to be used as candidate to succeed himself. In 1904 he was elected to the State Senate from the Abilene district, and was the author of the law pro viding for state and county de- positories, which keep the state funds in circulation, and each year yieldsa revenue more than sufficient to pay the expenses of the treasury department"
 MT. Hawkins came here from Texas just after statehood and lost no time getting acquainted.
 He is 100 per cent American and is ever ready to do all he can in the worldwide war to make the world safe for demo- cracy.
 He announces that he is the candidate of no particular fac ton of the Democratic party or of any clique or combination of any kind, and that, if elected he will stand for square deal for every individual and legitimate interest in this state.
 He is in favor of law and or der, and believes that all things should be done decently and in order, and that the law should be interpreted as it is written, just. as one looks at the clock and announces the time of day.
 He has practised law for more than 25 years and refers to any member of the Phoenix bar as to his qualifications.
 He is a lifelong Democrat and is not afraid to express his views upon any public question, and give a reason for the faith that is in him.
 More particular statements of his views will be given out from time to time as the cam paign progresses.
