HE MET TIE NEW GENERAL
Canadian officer Omitted Some of His
Decorations, and Was Not Rec
ognized by Lieutenant.

Ccl R. Of the Canadian forces
had iGst been promoted general and
assigned to the command of a brigade
at the front. His native m0desty was
not impaired by his new rank. He put
on his cap an almost invisible little
bronze ornament and pinned on his
shoulders two crossed sabers, likewise
bronze and almost invisible. In the
press of business, relates d correspond
ent. he neglected to add the red band
of the staff, the blue brassard, or the
scarlet and gold fancies that properly
adorn the collar of a general officer Of
his Britannia majestys army. A cou-
pie of weeks had passed and he hadn't
yet found time to go to town and buy
all the things that make one look like
a person of really high rank. And all
the time he was living with Spartan
simplicity in his dugout.
One day into the dugOut blew a very
young Heutenant--a lieutenant of in
fantry, In spite of cavalier style of
conversation.
"Howdo," said the lieutenant. DIRTY
hole, what? Rotten sort of sewer
you've got to live in. Staff's taken all
the decent places, ] suppose. l say,

"a lot of questions about the service,
Russia, difficulty of getting leave, the
acceptance of the polite offer of Gig
arette.)
"Well," said the lieutenant at last,
I'm told you chaps have got new
general. What sort is he?"
"Oh," replied General r., "a pretty
fair sort"
you've got to show me-" said the
lieutenant, whose language showed
traces of both American and insular
British influence.
"In that case" said General r.,
smiling, Just look him over"
The young lieutenant looked. He
took stock of tunlc that didn't show
a patch of red anywhere. Then he
caught sight of the crossed sabcrs, and
leapcd to his feet, redder than the red

General R. continued to smile

How the Condor Is CAUGHT.

Many birds cannot fly straight up.
They must rise at a very gentle incline.
They must get onward motion before
their wings can get full effect of the
air. 1t is said that the mode of taking
the condor is to build pen, say, forty
Of fifty feet In diameter and six feet
high and put a carcass in the middle
of it. The condor alights, but cannot
again rise at an angle which will take
him over the fence.
Many heavy bodied, short winged
ducks rise from the water at so small
an angle that they must use both feet
and wings for thirty or forty feet in
OF der to get onward motion enough to
give effectiveness to their wings by
meeting larger masses OF still air.

Trees should be cut in winter. as
timber dries more slowly nj that time
of year and there is little danger of
damage from season checking. Logs
can be handled most economically in
the winter months as four times as
many logs can be hauled on Sle1s as
on wheels. If the logs or posts are cut
In winter they become we'll seasoned
before they are set, and proper season
ing is the most economical preServa-
tive treatment one San give to posts

CARNATIONS, such as railroads, tele-
graph and telephone companies that
use enormous quantities of timber
specify that ii must be cut between
October 1 and March l. Experience
has shown that best results have been
obtained by cutting the trees at this
time.

knew The BIBLE
FEATHER NeaIe," an Evangelist OF
WashIngton'S Time.
Advised Young Preachers to Commit
the Holy Writ to Memory,
as He Did.

In these days when Billy Sunday oc-
cuples public attention, we recall an
evangelist preacher of Washington's
time, says an exchange. 1t was late
In life when Father Neale" was con-
verted and so great was his zeal that
he embraced every possible chance to
preach, and then preached as long as
the people would stay to hear him.
Full of anecdotes and fond of humor-
Gus stories, he amused the crowds that
gathered around him and often con-
yerted some wandering sheep. He was
Il carpenter by trade, and when he was
not preaching he was working, for he
never took any money from his au-
diences. His only book was the Bible,
and when he found young preacher
using a Concordance to aid him in find
ing texts he would say:
do as / do, study the Bible till you
know 1t by heart" And he had studied
It 50 thoroughly that he knew the least
Incidents recorded In 1t, and could cite
them whenever they would come In
play. Once he heard a minister trying
to prove that the people could not have
been immersed in the Jordan because
that river was so small that man
could dam ii up with his foot At the
close of the sermon Father Neale got
up and said:
II don't pretend to have any great
book learnin'. but there's one book /
do know, and that's the Bible. That's
my book. Now, our brother here says
the Jordan IS so small that YOU may
stop 1t with your foot. His books may
tell him 50, but my book tells me an
other story. | read In the Bible how
David, when he was flying from Absa-
lOm, rad wanted TO cross that same
river, had to hire boat to carry him
overt That's what my book tells me !"
Some Of Father Neale's recollections
Of Washington are little known to the
readers of today, and some have never
been published. Here is an anecdote
found In an old journal;
zone of Washngton's habits he
mentioned as brought to Mount Yer
non from the camp where everything
was sacrificed to dispatch. Whenever
Washington received note by priv
ate messenger he never asked the
bearer into the house, but usually took
the letter himself at the front door
and read 1t standing with his head
bare In the open air. II II required
verbal reply he gave it, and dismissed
the bearer; or If he must write. he re-
tired to his Office, wrote the answer,
and bringing II out delivered 1t TO the
messenger with his own hand
Father Neale states that he was
once engaged doing some carpenter
work on one of the northeast windows
that opens upon the front piazza of
the mansion at Mount Vernon. and
several ladies' were taking tea on the
c0llonade. Washington was walking
up and down joining In the conversa-
ton. One of the ladies asked him his
opinion of some of the battles of Ma
poleon. the fame of which was then
ringing through the world Washing
tons reply, as heard by Father Neale,
was In these words: Something more
than the art of man achieved those
bnttles."

RECORD WEEK FOR HALEY.
Local Office of War Trade Board
Handles Big Volume
of Business.

During the seven days ending
Wednesday night, the largest
volume of business that has ever
passed through the local Office of
the war trade board was handled
by Special Agent William T. Hal
ey and his staff of assistants.
The business Of the local branch
has grown steadily ever since it
was established. There was no
especial item of export or import
that contributed to the size of
the business last week, but it
covered everything that goes
through Nogales as a port of
entry.

TO
BE FILED BY
JULY 21ST
SOLDIER VOTE CAUSE FOR
ADVANCING DATE
Ballots Must Be Printed i'm Time
to Mail to Boys
in Trenches.

The change in the law to pro-
vide for exercise of the elective
franchise by soldiers in the
armies of the United Safes whose
residences are in Arizona. and
who are legal voters in the state.
but who are absent on service,
has given rise to some questions
of Interpretation which have
been referred to Attorney Gen.
eral Wylie Jones for solution.
The time for filing nomination
petitions was changed g from
twenty days to not less than for
ty nor more than sixty days be-
fore the primary election; and
clerks of boards of supervisors
are instructed to send a ballot to
every soldier from that county
not less than forty days before e
the primary.
A point was raised that unless
petitions were filed more than
forty days before the primary,
candidates could not get their
names upon the official ballot,
copies of which must be forward
ed to soldiers, etc. So there
arose question that was re-
ferred to the attorney general,
Should the ballots be held oper
for printing until expiration Of
the time to the period of forty
days before the election for filing
the nomination petitions, OF
should they be printed in time
to give the clerks of boards al
the time necessary to meet the
requirements of the law about
sending copies of ballots to sol
diers not less than forty days be-
fore the primary? Mr.. Jones
ruled that the ballots shall be
printed at least ten days before
the date on which copies are to
be sent soldiers. AS the first Of
August is the date of the limit
forty days before for sending the
ballots to soldiers, ten days be.
fore that date will be the 21st Of
July. So, then, all petitions
must be filed not later than July
|21. Anything later will find the
ballots printed, and the benef.
ciary of belated petitions will
fail to get upon the official pr
mary ballot.

has 3 pounds of sugar per capita
for all purposes.
Evidently, if sugar is taken
from Nogales into Mexico, it
means that the allowance for
Nogales people is cut down just
that much.
l propose to put it up to the
individual merchant. He must
know that sugar he sells is not
intended to go i nto Mexico.
IF merchants are found selling
sugar to go across the line,
drastic action will be taken The
customs officials cannot stop
people from taking the sugar
across the line, under the ruling
of the revenue department. But
such packages must be accom-
panied by manifest, and that
will show from whom the sugar
was purchased.
Merchants who disregard the
rule not to sell for export to
Mexico will find that their supply
of sugar will be cut off entirely,
and they may also have their
doors closed permanently"
The othor new sugar regula-
tions go into effect this month
and dealers, hotels, restauran is
and manufacturers hereafter
cannot purchase sugar without
permit from the county food
administrator.
Chairman Ben Evans of the
hotel and restaurant section of
the local food administration
received a message from M. T
Grier, state chairman of the hotel
and restaurant section, instruct
ling him regarding the new regul
ations to be applied to public
eating places. They will here
after be allowed 8 pounds ot
sugar for every 80 meals served
and will have to have permits
for the purchase of this sugar.
