The strike was Illegal under the Lever
food and fuel act and said that the up
holding of this act was the only ques~
ton before the court.
At one stage he indicated that the
right to strike was not applicable TO
the case because none of the defend
ants to the proceedings was earning
his living by working as a miner, but
he allowed the argument to proceed on
the theory that the union officials
were proper agents of the miners, car
wing out orders given by their prin-
cipals.
Almost Immediately, however, the
court threw the discussion back to the
wartime powers of the fuel and food
control law and advised the defense
attorneys not to waste time by argu-
ing other questions. Judge Anderson
next stifled this line OF debate also by
announcing that he was going TO hold

One of the most interesting features
of the mornings parade from an edu-

Covert arrived in Phoenix with his
outfit attracted much attention on the
streets.
'Dandelion," the jennet mule which
is furnishing the motive power for the
trans continental trip, also furnished
the original inspiration for the jour
ney. Covert describes her as being
unusually intelligent, although at the
time he first made her acquaintance
she was a wild, wild quadraped. Gov
ert is paralyzed from his waist down,
but he pushed his tricycle. up to the
opening in the corral in New York
where "Dandelion" was performing
and offered to mount her. The mule
at first seemed at loss to know
whether to use her hind legs Or her
tongue on the newcomer. She finally
decided upon the latter reception, and
according to her owner, betrayed the
first sigh of affection in her life by
licking the hand of the invalid. The
owner decided that the mule preferred
SONerI ana turned ner over. NOT
knowing exactly how to use his new
acquisition, Covert finally decided
upon the unique method of crossing
the continent.
Starts from New York
Covert started the trip from New
York June 2, 1916, with only the mule
as companion. He found it was easier
to lead the mule than drive 1t, so he
attached shafts to her collar which
connect in front with his three wheel
vehicle. This forward position also
assured him safety from the rather
treacherous heels. Over the back of
the mule he slung a pack of post
cards, which he sells to pay the ex-
penses of the trip

the cart and the velocipede and both

The strange caravan arrived here
from Tucson. Covert says he expects
to finish his journey at San Diego
but he isn't sure just what time he
will arrive there. He isn't trying to
break any speed records.

NO ACCIDENT FAIR

The fair commissioners highly COM
mended Bush Anderson, who had
charge of traffic. for this remarkabls
record. The least number OF paid
automobile admissions for any one day
was 500. The maximum was reached
yesterday with the total of 2,000 These
figures do not include the great num-
Der of commercial trucks and other
motor vehicles which passed through
the gates without paying admission.
1t is also estimated the number of
cars parked outside the fair grounds,
but in the immediate vicinity, exceeded
the number which passed through the
gates.

seeking to uphold it's own laws
and in asking its courts to aid It.
These men have done an illegal act
from which irreparable injury re-
suits to the complainant"
The injunction, prepared by the at
torney generals department in Wash
ington, repeated the restraining order
of October 81, which forbade the issu-
ing of any messages of elaboration or
encouragement to the strikers. and
also tied up the UNIONS relief funds.
1t then provided the mandate for can
collation. of the strike call in the fol-
lowing language And they (the de-
fendants) are further enjoined from
permitting the strike order issued on
or about October To- 1919, to the
miners and mine workers in the BIZ
luminous coal fields of the United
States, to take effect on midnight of
October 81, 1919, to longer remain in
effect, commanding them to desist
from aiding such strike by permitting
said strike order to remain in effect,
and commanding them to issue a with
drawal and cancellation of said strike
order and communicate the same to
district or local unions committees
and members of the International
United Mine Workers of America as
! fully and completely as the said strike
order has been heretofore distributed
and circulated to the said organiza-
ton, it's members, district or local
unions or any committee
Next Move November 20
If left to pursue its normal course,
the injunction proceedings probably
will rest until November 70. The de-
PENDANTS have until that date to file q
formal answer and whens that time ex-
pires it is within the province of the
government attorneys to ask that the
temporary injunction issued today be
made permanent.
1t was pointed out by government
officials that this was expected to re-
suit. inasmuch as Judge Anderson de-
cided the issues in the case today.
Attorneys of the miners indicated
they will take the case to the United
States circuit court of appeals in Chi
cago at the earliest possible date
Such action, however. will not affect
the injunction proceedings nor the
governments plan to ask that the
temporary injunction be made perma-
neht on November 20. In the mean
time it is pointed out the courts order
to call off the strike must be carried
out.

1t is the haphazard farmer who is always
complaining and bemoaning the fates which
he thinks have been pursuing him all his life.
He'll tell you bunch of hard luck" which
is in reality only his failure or inability to
get out of the rut." He is the man who Wis
its the State Fair, sees lot of good things, yet
fails to act upon the information he secures.
The good farmer is good business man,
he uses business methods, keeps a record of
expenditures and when he harvests his crops,
he knows whether he has made money on
them or not. He is the man that checks" his
dairy herd with Babcock tester, and knows
exactly which cows are productive and which
are boarders. He is the man who conserves
his soil. He knows that he cannot continually
take from his ground and give nothing back.
He does not think that just because he
made" good yield of cotton on "that east
forty" this year, he will make similar crop
next year.
He knows that he must not only fertilize
but he must rotate his crops if he would con-
tinue to reap money making crop. He is the
man that takes the returns from his crop and
apportions it in improvements which make for
greater efficiency. He builds barns for his inn
plements, milk houses for his cattle, comfort
able living quarters for his family and his
hired help. He knows that next year he can't
expect to get such great prices for his cotton,
and he makes provision for such decline
He knows that dairy herd will bring in a
steady income throughout the year, and that
the products of the dairy always bring good
prices. He knows the value of the Babcock
tester, and he uses it in proving his cows.
The merchants and the banks compete for
his business, for he's successful.
His employees like to work for him. His
children stay at home, receive good educa-
ton, and make good citizens. Most of the
really good farmers are dairymen.
Let this department assist you in getting
into the dairy business.
Our farm experts are practical men who
KNOW BY DOING" just how best to care
for stock and arrange crops, buildings and all
other farm matters. They will be glad to
assist any farmer or dairyman free of charge.
