By far the most inquiries have been received by

remains that the interest is very lively one,
indeed. -.A"- ~
The unions, too, are demanding more light on
the league There has been indication yet Of
opposition in any of the union ranks, even from
quarters where opposition might have been expect

what the league intends to do, four official organ

These men are going to all parts Of the state

thusiast for political action by the workers.
"It is time," he said, 'that we begin to break
down the party lines. The workers need have no
differences as Republicans or Democrats. AS Re-
publicans or Democrats they serve simply to fill
the ranks of the parties. They get nothing. They
are aligned against each other.

RAIL MEN ARE
INTERESTED

Requests have come
from all the railroad
brotherhood locals in St.
Paul for information
about the league. Fire
men in St. Paul and Min
neapolis have offered to
work as volunteer organ
izers to boost the league
and enroll members.
Other states are begin
ming to investigate the
step taken by the Min
nesota workers.
1t has been neces-
sary to point out
recently. that the
league is a political
organization rather
than a political par

have candidates at
the election next

KEROSENE MEANS LESS WORK
FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

No woman likes to be housewife
drudge. She wants time for ever so
many other things than cooking and
cleaning. By using kerosene instead
of coal or wood much of the old-time
work and dirt is eliminated.
A clean, pure kerosene like the
Standard Oil Company's Pearl Oil,
assures the housewife cool, clean
kitchen the year around. All the
drudgery of handling the heavy coal
and ashes is done away with and
there is no dust nor dirt nor odor.
Unlike coal or wood, kerosene lights
at the touch of match, so that there
is no waiting for the fire to come up.
Pearl Oil is economical and can be
readily procured everywhere. 1t is
always the same high quality whether
it is bought in gallon cans or in
bulk, although there is saving by
buying in bulk. 1t is easy to handle
and gives all the convenience of gas
Being refined and re-refined by a
special process the impurities have
been removed and it burns up clean
without smoke or odor.

WAR FOOD DOES NOT SELL WELL
 IN PRESCOTT

In common with other cities in Arizona, Prescott is not causing any mail congestion with its orders for army foodstuffs.
 In the week since the sale started through the parcel post, less than $1 $1OOO-considerably less-was sent out for army grub, according to Post master A. J. Herndon. One eXplana- ton heard in some quarters was that local merchants are meeting the war departments prices, but this is said to be impossible by merchants them selves.
 A considerable addition has been made to the first list iOf available stocks, and there may now be bought such delicacies as canned pineapple and pumpkin.
 The new order regarding postage was received yesterday. This en- ables all to buy at the first zone rate although Prescott is in the fourth zone from Fl Paso, the cource ot supply. The charge is Sc for the frs pound and 1c for each additiona pound, up to 125 pounds.

LYONS IS INNOCENT OF
 EMBEZzLING

Oscar A. Lyons, a railroad clerk at Winslow, was cleared of charge of embezzlement in the United States court yesterday on his explanation of the signature he placed in indorse- ment on a Santa Fe time check. The trial had been practically completed Saturday when court adjourned oyer the week end.
 The check was made out to Ernest A. Kuhr. The Santa Fe payroll records at Winslow showed that a man named Ernest A. Kuhn worked for the company There is thought to have been a typographical error either on the payroll or on the check
 The inducements on the check however, were in the names of E. A. Kube and the defendant
 Lyons story was that Kube came to him for help to get his check cashed. He was not known and no body wanted to cash it for him. So Lyons merely endorsed the check SC that Kube could get his money.
 The jury reached a quick verdict ot not guilty.
