was laid in his last resting place Mon
day morning.
"Doc as he was familiarly known
by most every one, was for % years
a member of Iron Molders Union No.
283, and was one of the charter mem
bers of that organization, serving for
number of years on it's grievance
committee. He always took an active
part in the affairs of his union and
was greatly instrumental in perfect
ing the strong organization which it
is today. He was always held in the
highest esteem by the officials of the
Estate Stove Co, where he was em-
ployed for many years. Previous to
the organization of the Stove Mold
ers Union, Brother MeCloud was a
member of several other molders
unions.
In January 1912 he was appointed
quarantine officer by the local board
of health which position he held at
the time of his death He was most
conscientious and faithful officer and
gained the respect of all with whom
he came in contact in his official ca
pacity He was also member of
Butler Aerie, Fraternal Order of
Eagles.
OF a jovial and gentle disposition,
always greeting his friends with a
smile, Brother McCloud was loved and
respected not only in the community
in which he lived but throughout the
entire city.
He leaves to mourn his loss his
widow Hannah McCloud, two sisters,
Mrs Belle Smith of this city and
Mrs Jessie Durfer of ST. Louis, Mo
and many other relatives to whom a
large circle of friends extend their
sympathy

Fewer people in proportion to the
population, he said, own their own

other civilized country in the world

Breeding the Singers

Likening the l. w W to lot of
mosquitoes, Frank Morrison carries
the simile by showing that these pests
are only bred in stagnant pools.
Stagnant pools of industrial eondi-
tions usually are found where there
is strong organization opposed to
labor combining for its own protec-
ton.
The point is clear. Where freedom
to join in collective bargaining is de-
MED there is a choking stagnation and
the gadflies breed-and sting. There
are sermons in stones and lessons in
stingers.

NEW RECORDS OF COLUMBIA
 RICH IN SONG

Columbia records are rich this month in the sort of songs that are as much a matter of current knowledge as the standings of the major leagues. Comment on how Van and Schenck sing "Ohi How She Can Sing" is superfluous for any one who has ever heard this popular team. Billy Murray sings in his inimitable manner on the reverse of this record And That Amt All" Irving and Jack Kauf- man obhge with contradictory tenor duet entitled Some Day You'll Be Sorry That You're Glad" coupled with Henry Burr's tenor solo, You're Making a Miser of Me"
 Irving Kaufman unburdens him. self of the advice, "Take Your Grille to the Movies of You Cant Make Love at Home)," and this is coupled with Arthur Fields ex- tremely individual rendering of Pig Latin Love-" a snappy song with lots of laughs in it. The Ster- ling Trio sings My Swanee Home" and on the reverse of this record Campbell and Burr tell about My Sugar-Coated Chocolate Boy" in a tenor duet.
 These are only a few among the many popular selections on the Au- gust Columbia records.

RANGE AND CROP CONDITIONS ARE
 GOOD IN STATE

The report of the weather bureau, United States department of agri culture, on weather, crop and range conditions in Arizona, issued yester- day, is as follows:
 Personal inspection of ranges and stock over the greater part of the state reveals the most satisfactory conditionss prevailing in years. Ex- cept along highways where over grazing is apparant pastures are generally excellent and browse has made a fine growth. Reservoirs are well filled and most water courses have running streams. Stockmen have begun to see the necessity of providing feed for hard winters and in many cases are growing crops of corn, milo, sorghums or hegari for supplementing pastures and browse. These crops are mak- ing an excellent showing in most parts of the state and in many places phenomenal exhibits are seen. Light to heavy rains have occurred during the past week re- storing pastures previously report ed as beginning to deteriorate, a condition particularly apparent near the Mexican border
 Owing to the scarcity of feed and severity of last winter much stock was sold so that there is now more grass than is needed for the stock on hand. It is prob able that more cattle and sheep will be wintered at the higher al titudes the coming. season owing to the abundance of forage.
 The picking of cotton in the Salt river valley was somewhat delay ed by showers but the ground has dried rapidly and picking was re- sulned. Five hunored acres short staple cotton in the Stafford dis trict looks well. Picking in the Yuma district progressed without interruption from the light show CTS in that section. Apples, peaches and pears in Coconino, Yavapai, Gila' and Cocbisc counties are well developed and an abundant crop.
