THE ART OF OMISSION.

You can't tell very much about
man until you hear him talk.
Looks are very deceivlng.
And isn't il strange that the less
q man says, the greater he looms.
both now and later The greatest
code Of moral teaching In the world
is embodied in what Christ said
And vet everything He said could
he compacted into little vestpocket
book
II really takes very little 10
make human being happy.
Wholesome food. the right view
point and-a chance That is
about sill The tragedy OF poverty
and despair Is because Of the lack
Of these simple things
The art Of omission IL the whole
art Of life
To omit saying things that will
rot help or contribute. To omit
dong what viii but tear down.
Experience Is the flower Of
knowledge that comes to man as
ae learns 70 omit
MS world can get along very
nicely without a lot OF things that
y gets. Il needs lot Of things
that It d)esn't get The pleasurable
thing both % you and TO all is the
thlng that should not be omitted.
For instance, never omit doing
the thing or expressing the thought
thai YOU FEEL like doing or
expressing.

Mr.. Edwin Bjorkman, our represen-

he does not believe that our visitors
have enjoyed themselves more any

was because of the very adequate
and intelligent arrangements which
were made for the reception and care
of the guests.
May l express to you, and through
you to the others who were respon-
sible for the splendid treatment &C
corded these Scandinavian journal
lists, the sincere appreciation OF the

PORTO RICO WANTS [. W. P. HUNT FOR
 THEIR GOVERNOR
Petition Forwarded to President Will son Praying for the Appointment of Arizona's Present Governor. to Similar Position in Porto Riea.

The following is a. copy of a peti- tion for the appointment of Governor Geo. W. P. Hunt as Governor of Por- to Rico. These petitions are ping circulated in Porto Rico by members of a Labor organization known as the Federation 'Libre Trabajas de Porto Rico, of which Santiago Iglesias is president:
 To His Excellency, Woodrow Will son, President of the United States. We, the undersigned citizens of Porto Rico, having abiding faith in your declaration of Democracy, es- pecially wherein you have declared that 'it can be realized only by the determination of what the thinking peoples of the world desire, with their opportunity for justice and for social freedom and opportunity"
 Social freedom and industrial op- pcrtunity are today non-existent for the mass of the people of Porto Rico as has been plainly set forth by Gen. eral Mcintyre, chief of the Bureau of ] lnsular affairs, in these words: 'The unfortunate conditions of the l agricultural workers in Porto Rico and of the much more numerous agri- cultural people in Porto Rico who can I
 there for them, have been officially
 set forth in reports of Governors Of l Porto Rico, in the hearings before Congress, since the report of the first
 governor on occupation of Porto Ric0 l The facts which would be developed l by enquiry would show conditions
 much worse than they are painted by
 Mr. Iglesias, for the reason that Mir
 Iglesias' interest at present is in the sugar workers, who even at the low
 wage they are receiving, are of tho
 relative fortunate class in Porto
 Rico
 These things being so. and the aD- Dointmeot of Governor of the Ts- 1 land of Porto Rico by you being call ed for by the organic act of Porto
 Rico sometime during the year of 1918. we do most respectfully petition you to appoint to the said office of 1 Governor the Hon. Geo. w p. Hunt I new governor of the state of Ari zona, whose reputation officially and unOfficially for fair. sympathetic rela
 tions with the Spanish speaking peo ples of his state. and the English sDeaking workers as well, is of the hiehest.
 It is our conviction that the criti cal condition Of aftalrS ID the Island
 Of Porto Rico calls for the aDnoint

 ready made a public record of his
 friendly. fair and just dealings witF
 the working people and the people il general in their longing for justice and for social freedom and opportuni ty in the state of Arizona
 The situation in Porto Rico is beins 11cpd n tha diccrndit Of Porto Ripf in Spanish speaking countries. The story of injustice in Porto Rico has already been carried to the Spanict . speaking people of North and Soutf , America. and even to Europe. , The United States Government

In a statement to the Copper Era on Friday evening Dr. L. A. w. Burtch said the influenza-pneumonia situation in Greenlee county is inl- proving very gradually, although the new cases developed during the rast week have been more severe than during the first days of the epidemic. New cases in Clifton, Morenci and Metcalf during the week just ended have averaged about fifteen per day with the majority of new cases mak- ing their appearance in Clifton. On Thursday of this week 13 new cases were reported in Clifton, in Mcrenci and none in Metcalf. On Friday Clifton reported 16 rew 1 cases, Morenci1 new case and Met calf none

 In answer to the question: "Shon7d q theatres, churches, schools and ether places of public gathering be open ed now Dr. O. H. Brown, state health officer yesterday replied: ''No"
 Tt is quite evident they should not be opened at present ;" Dr. Brown continued. There is no use in open ing up now, only to be closed dowI aSaln later on. TO open now would do more injury to business and the state than to remain closed until the danger has passed.
 Tt is the history of Spanish influ enza that before it runs it's course A per cent of the population be comes affected.
 ''The problem is to develop immuni ty protection in the blood. This may be done successfully in two ways One is by contracting a mild form O the disease and the other is by vac cine, it seems. A mild form of tht disease puts living germs into tho system.
