 Concerning this pioneer of this sec. tion of the state the Phoenix Gazette last Sunday contained the following sketch of his life, and account of his death and ilIness:.
 Hon. W. M. Whipple died yesterday afternoon at the Sisters hospital af- ter an illness of more than a year. He had suspected nearly that long ago that he was suffering of a can cer of the stomach and a week ago last Friday he was told by physi- clans that his only hope lay in an op-i eration. He<submitted to it but the operation disclosed that the disease had made such inroads that there was no hope of recovery.
 MT. Whipple was 65 years of age and pioneer of Arizona He came to the territory in 1876 and assisted greatly in its development and con- tributed much to the upbuilding of the new state. He assisted in the construction of the Santa Fe railroad through the northern part of Arf- zona and also in the building of the A. & N. M. road from Clifton to I.ordsburg. He lived through the In- dian days of the territory and carved a ranch out of the desert in Graham county, where he was engaged for a quarter of a century in farming.
 MT. Whipple took a keen interest in public affairs and was a member from Greenlee county in the first state legislature in which he was an active figure. He was student of public matters, great reader and his recommendations were construc- tive.
 After retiring from public life he lived for time in Phoenix and then went to ranching in the Buckeye coun- try where he remained until his fail- ing health brought him back to Phoe- nix.
 He leaves widow, Marcia B. Whip ole. and two children, Lustre Edson and Charles Brainard Whipple. His former wife, Mrs. Polly A. Whipple, and three children, Hon. w. D Whip pie, member of the Senate, Mrs. F1ossy Hagan. and Violet Whipple, re- side in Greenlee county. J

Brakeman H. K. Leggett of the A. & N. M. road lost two and prob ably three toes, while about to mount the train at Guthrie Wednesday morn irg: In attempting to get on the train after attending to his duties, his foot slipped, throwing his foot under the revolving wheel, resulting in the amputation of the big and the second toe, and the mangling of the fourth tee on one of his feet. He was brought to the A. c. hospital as soon as possible and given attention. It is stated that two of his toes are of, while the third toe will likely have to be amputated. MT.

 This is only one case, think of the number in two years. It's your money MT. Taxpayer.
 '. It has always been conceded among all fair minded voters, that all districts should have representation on the Board of Supervisors without having to revert to Article No. 2401 of the Civil Code which provides for dividing the county into Supervisora1 districts, and which in this county is almost an impossibility to divide equally in population and assessed val .uation as the Article provides for. It has therefore been left to the hon. or of the voter and I believe that every voter in Greenlee county will be fair when they realize the importance of this distribution of officers.
 I am engaged in the output of Cop per which at the present is very much needed I have no deputy to do my work while I am campaigning and therefore cannot see everyone personally.

SEVEN REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR w. w. BUTTON

1. Morenci pays 6S6 per cent of the total taxes of Greenlee county which is expended by the Board of Supervisors, and is therefore entitled to representation on that Board.
 ?. On January 1st, 1915 there were about seven miles of completed road in this county. To day we pos sess one hundred miles of road which is unsurpassed in this state.
 3. I quit the campaign in 1916 to go to Albuquerque to secure the gov ernment appropriation for the Spring erville road. This is the ONLY coun ty in the United States receiving gov ernment aid at the present time.
 4. $250,000 .00 of this county's money will be expended on the Springerville road within the next two years You have received one hundred cents on the dollar in the past. will guarantee the same in

The tax rate IS hXed by the BOaru Of Supervisors and not by other off ces which are continually using it as political propaganda. Don't be mis- led.

PERGOLA NOW WIDELY USED
Adds to Beauty of Garden II 1t 10
Properly Constructed and Effec-
lively Placed.

Comparatively few gardens are now
complete without a pergOla of some
kind, though twenty years ago they
were almost unknown in America
They are, however, so useful in giving
variety to the garden, and have SO
much decorative value, that they are
widely used.
Pergolas need careful construction
and an effort should be made, before
building one, to choose a suitable po
sition for it, since, If pergola is sci
down with no apparent raison d'etre,
It becomes burden rather than help
in the garden scheme. 1t should lead
to some defined object-to a summer
house, or gate, or perhaps to terrace
steps; If it begins and ends for no ap
parent reason, it is certainly misplaced
In the gardens of La Mortola near
Bordighera, the pergola leads out to
q wide terrace with stone balustrade,
while beyond lies the wonderful blue Of
the Mediterranean and the gray rocks
of the Italian coast; and this view
gains double value from being framed
as it were, in a tunnel Of greenery.

NEED OF DEFINITE PROGRAM
To Strike at the Essential Rather
Than the Incidental Is Object Of
Best Commercial Bodies.

To strike at the essential rather
than the incidental, to get an organic
program and follow it unwaveringly
that is the object of the directors
and executives of well-organized COM
mercial associations today.
There was q time when citizens of
many communities had a mixture Of
right and wrong impressions about the
function of such organizations. They
were right in their recognition of the
need for central directing force, but
wrong in their assumption that such a
force could be made 100 per cent eff
cient without intelligent, broad-mind.

crete program, declares the Indian.
apolis Star.
So commercial organizations have
gone through an evolution. The ten
dency today Is to make them indis-
pensable business institutions-just as
necessary to well-rounded city life as
a public utility or any food or cloth
ing distributor. The tendency is to
make such organizations reflexes Of all
other business activity-a guardian of
commercial, social and civic interests
Citizens in their collective capacity
speak and act effectively through such
an organization.
Large chambers Of commerce In
many American cities have achieved
notable results fer their localities by
adopting definite program and stick
ing to it.
every community has its own prob
lens, but there are certain lines Of
work that have been found productive

tary of the Indianapolis chamber Of

"Panic Proof" Vies With Fire Proof.

According to a decision recently
made by Supreme Court Justice Gave
gan of New York the state industrial
commission may direct owners Of
buildings to make them panic proof"
even If they were previously fireproof.
The court said: "The reasonableness
of the commissions orders depends d.
rectly on the question, is the building
safe from the danger of panicP Panic
may result from causes not confined
to a factory building itself nor af-
fected by its fireproof character. II
may be caused by smoke alone, or by
fire in building adjoining or in the
immediate neighborhood, or by con-
flagration, or by a hostile attack in
time Of war from land, sea or air, or
by earthquake, or even by a false
alarm"

But the boys came, both together,
and the family group set out together.
Carol and Hartley-one Of her high
school admirers-led off by running a
race down the parsonage walk. And
Lark, old, worn and grave, brought up
the rear with Jim Forrest. Jim was
favorite attendant of the twins. He
had been graduated from high school
the year previous, and was finishing
off at the agricultural college in Ames.
But Ames was not far from home, and
he was still frequently on hand to
squire the twins when squires were In
demand.
| For this broad-minded devotion the
twins gave him deep-seated gratitude
and affection and he always stood high
in their favor.
"Are you scared, Lark" he asked
her as they walked slowly down the
street toward the church.

solemnly, "but I'm perfectly cavern

Mad Artists.

Quite a number of eminent artists
have been victims Of brain disorder.
Sir Edwin Landseer, towards the
close Of his life, showed signs of in
sanity, while the eccentricities of Tur-
ner were quite of the insane order.
Amongst other eminent artists 1t
might be mentioned that Sir Thomas
Lawrence suffered from a symptom of
brain disorder; David Wilkie lost
power Of attention, and ultimately had
a nervous seizure which made his
speech incoherent; while Romney suf-
fered so much from the hallucination
that his talent would desert him that
at the height Of his fame he thought
Of relinquishing his art altogether.

broke forth, when they walked sedate-
ly out and took their seats along the
side of the platform-an antediluvian
custom which has long been discarded
by everything but Sunday schools and
graduating classes.
The program went along smoothly
with no more stumbles than is custom
airy at such affairs, and nicely punctu-
ated with hand clippings. When the
superintendent read, "Recitation-Aiiss
Carol Starr" the applause was enthu-
siastic, for Carol was prime favorite
In church and school and town. With
sweet and charming nonchalance she
tripped to the front of the platform
and gave graceful inclination Of her
proud young head in response to the
applause. Then her voice rang out
and the room was hushed. Nobody ever
worried when Carol spoke q piece
Things always went all right. And
back to her place she walked, her face
flushed, her heart swelling high with
the qualification Of good deed well
done.
"Carol," Lark whispered. "I-rm
scared"
Instantly the triumph left Carols
heart. you're not" she whispered
passionately, gripping her twins hand
closely, "you are not, you're all right.
Lark trembled more violently. Her
head swayed little. Bright flashes
Of light were binding her eyes, and her
ears were ringing. "I-can't," she NUT
tered thickly. 'I'm sick"
Carol leaned close to her and began
a violent train of conversation, for the
purpose of distracting her attention.
Lark grew more pale.
"Recitation-Miss Lark Starr"
Again the applause rang out.
Lark did not move. II can't" she
whispered again. II can't"
Lark, Lark" begged Carol desper-
ately. "You must go, you must. The
wind went drifting DER the lea,'-it's
easy enough. Go on, Lark. You must"
Lark shook her head. Minimum"
she murmured indistinctly.

there. He's expecting you, Lark. You

Lark tried to rise. She could not.
She could not see her fathers clear en-

can do anything, if you try. Prudence
says so."
People were craning their necks, and
peering curiously up to the second row
where the twins sat side by side. The
other performers nudged one another.
smiling significantly.
II can't" Lark whispered, "I'm sick"
"Lark-Lark," called the superin-
tendent.
Carol sighed bitterly. Evidently it
was up to her. With a grim face, she
rose from her chair and started out on
the platform. The superintendent
stared at her, his lips parting. The
people stared at her too, and smiled,
and then laughed. Panic-stricken her
eyes sought her fathers face. He nod
ded quickly, and his eyes approved.
Good" His lips formed the word,
and Carol did not falter again. The
applause was nearly drowned with
laughter as Carol advanced for her
second recitation.
THE wind went drifting DER the
lea," she began-her voice drifting
properly on the words-and so on to
the end Of the piece.
Most of the audience, knowing
Lark's temperament, had concluded
that fear prevented her appearance,
and understood that Carol had come to
her twins rescue for the reputation
of the parsonage. The applause was
deafening as she went back. 1t grew
louder as she sat down with a COM
forting little grin at Lark. Then as
the clapping continued, something OF
her natural impishness entered her
heart.
Lark" she whispered, Ego out and
make bow"
"Mercy!" gasped Lark. 81 didn't dc
anything"

Lark! Hurry! You've got to! Think
what joke it will be-"
Lark hesitated, but Carols domi
nance was compelling.
HIOp +nn ,,o,,
emptory order, and Lark arose from
her chair, stepped out before the as
tonished audience and made a slow
and graceful bow.
This time the applause ran riot. fol
people of less experience than those OF
Mount Mark could tell that the twins
were playing game. AS it continued
Carol caught Larkin's hand in hers
and together they stepped out once
more, laughing and bowling right and
left.
Lark was the last one in that night
for she and Jim celebrated her defeat
with two ice cream sodas apiece at the
corner drug store.
II disgraced the parsonage" she
said meekly, as she stepped into the
family circle, waiting to receive her.
Indeed you didn't" said Fairy. "It
was too bad, but Carol passed 1t of
nicely, and then, turning 1t into a joke
that way took all the embarrassment
out of it 1t was perfectly all right
and we weren't bit ashamed

when you made your bow" Connie SAID

family was down, no one ventured q
