 After referring to the need of in creased production as the only meth cd of solving the high cost of living, the commission declares that while many strikes have been necessary to bring unjust employers to terms, i've also strongly assert that there have been a great many strikes which were. uncalled for and which should not have been ordered. We hold that during these dark times the union which goes on strike without provo cation of the most extreme nature is guilty of moral ltreachery to the gov ernment and people of the United States and of inhuman conduct toward the struggling peoples of Europe's helpless countries"
 The letter closes with a recommen- dation that the President and execu- tive council of the American Fedora tion of Labor take steps immediately to cancel and suspend all strikes now in progress in the United States and to prevent the calling of future strikes unless imperatively necessary for "such reasonable time as President Wilson may require to effect reduc- tion in the cost of living"

Bate, manager Ot the Fine Arts department of the Northern Ari- zona State Fair, is making plans for the bringing to the Fair of an ex- ceptionally beautiful art display from the Ten Painters Club of California. In addition to this, the Art Depart ment will present 100 enlarged scenic views, suitably framed and we'll hung. These pictures have been collected, by the manager of the Art Department with exceeding care, entailing time, energy and expense. These depict the principal natural wonders of Northern Arizona and will serve as an educa- tional medium whereby residents and visitors will glean some idea of the wonderful attractions to be had in Northern Arizona. This years collec- tion will not only come up to the stan dard but will excel any other collec- tion ever shown in the State of Ari- zona. ..

No pictures can be entered under more than one head, except that single en- tries may be entered in collections. The name of artist on the face of pictures must be covered and labels must be attached to the back of the frames or mounts showing entry num- Der. Any piece of work previously exhibited and receiving awards is not eligible for competition. Ed oh piece of china, metal work and ceramics must be marked with exhibitors num- Der. Original work only, except ceramics and copies, will be accepted for exhibition. All entries will pos itively close October 14th.

GUMMED THE CARDS

Editors have their troubles. One of these men who presides over the des- tinies of a Western newspaper is mourning the loss of two subscribers. One wrote asking how to raise his twins safely, while the other wanted to know how to rid his orchard of grasshoppers. The answers went for ward by mail, but by accident the editor put them in the wrong en- velopes, so that the man with the twins received the answer:
 Cover them safely with straw and set fire to it, and then the little pests, after jumping in the flames for a few minutes, will be speedily settled" And the man with the grasshoppers was told to "give castor oil and rub their gums with a bone."

FAVOR REUNION OF
 l5STH FAIR WEEK

PHOENIX, Sept. 9.-Adjutant Gent eral Walter S. Ingalls, is fathering a plan of reunion of the members of the famous 158th infantry on Thursday of the State Fair week. The 158th is essentially an Arizona regiment, probably the only regiment in the state having sufficient number of men resident in Arizona to make a reunion practicable. The date ten tatively set is Veterans Day at the fair, when the entire program will be turned over to the war veterans by the fair commission.

TEXAS SPEEDS UP ATTACK
 AGAINST CATTLE-FEVER TICK

The attack against the cattle-fever tick has reached unprecedented pro- portions in Texas. That is shown by reports to the Bureau of Animal In- dustry of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, which is cooper
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1919-09-20

ating with State and local officials to drive out the insect enemy of the livestock industry.
 Following are some of the straws that show how the wind is blowing against the tick:
 Cattle clippings in, July reached a total of 2,203,715 in Texas-the great est number ever recorded in any month since the campaign began.
 Brazos County has voted in favor of countrywide tick eradication. This fact is doubly significant, because Brazos County is in the third of the three zones set up by the State tick eradication law, and active work in the third zone is not to begin under the State law until 1922. Thus, Brazos County, like Harris County, shows it's determination to go ahead now and not to wait several years for the benefits of tick eradication. Brazos County evidently has dis counted arguments that tick eradica- tion could not be conducted effec- lively as a county proposition and has seen the opposite claim borne out in Harris and other counties. With ef- fective work, Brazos County will soon get rid of the tick, and thus another body blow will have been given to the parasite in it's stronghold.
 County Authorities Cooperating
 Progress of the work in the north ern part of Texas indicates that at least 20 counties will be ready next December 1 for release from the. Fed eral quarantine. Good cooperation, as whole, is being received from coun- ty authorities, who are prosecuting violations of the dipping law and the quarantine regulations. Three appi- cations for injunction suits to stop differentiation work were recently denied. It is stated, however, that recourse to legal action is becoming increasingly less necessary, as far mers and livestock owners in all sec tions are becoming fully aware of the necessity for 100 per cent dipping if,| the tick is to be 100 per cent elimin- ated.
 In Harris County approximately 1000 farms have been released recent ly from local quarantines requiring further dipping. Harris County, part l of the third zone, was released last year from Federal quarantine, and has been conducting "mopping up" work, and the release of 1000 farms from dipping requirements indicates that the county soon will be rid of | the comparatively small amount of in festation now present.
 An incident reported from Tarrant | County shows the menace that will | remain so long as ticks are not erad- icated. A stockman anxious to raise registered cattle imported a herd of good animals and placed them in a | pasture. Eleven, cows, valued at $10,000, died from tick fever. He now has constructed d vat of his own and is dip- ping his cattle every 9 days instead l of every IS days as he did before. His cattle now are in good condition. So long as ticks and tick fever are allowed to' remain, cattle brought in from other sections will be under the constant danger of dying from the disease.

Louisa May AIcot+

Once there were four little girls who lived ill big house in the country. They were very poor, but they had the happiest time of all.
 One of the girls was named Louisa She was very pretty and very strong. And she had a splendid brain in her head. She liked to study.
 Louisa liked to sit in @ corner by herself sometimes and write thoughts all day.
 When the little girls had finished their lessons, and had helped their mother to sew and clean they used to go in a big shed to play and the best play was theatricals.
 They made the shed into a theatre and grownUp people would come tC sec the Dla,-e Tho e.1 to climb on the hay now for stage, The plays Weic a,, -. I'd the Bean stalk, Cinderilla and The Pilgrims Progress. They used @ ladder for the bean stalk, and they would dress up in the same ways.
 They made a pumpkin out Of a wheelbarrow
 Louisa loved them all These plays 1 she wrote down. But, better than fun or writing, she l loved her mother. She helped her mother all she codld. Louisa worked very hard when she was big she used to sew for other peo- i pie.
 Every year she grew more unseifsh | and every year she worked harder. ! A publisher asked Louisa if she wanted to write a book for girls Lol1i-
 sd was not yeEy-Well, but she said: l !lI try 1 She wrote a book about the big 1 house and her father and mother, and she called it Little Women and she
 sent it to the publishers. l She sent one of her sisters to France 1 to study. l Never again did her dear mother have to do any hard work. 1 Louisa Alcott wrote many beautiful books, and she became one of the most famous women Of America. SUSETTE MENTAZ, Plainfe1d.

He was not one bit pretty. He had a big huma on his rack; he had long legs and a long neck and such a homcly head! But I used to like to hear about him.
 He was d camel. Did you ever see camel? In the countries where cam els live, the people ride on them. They cross the great deserts of sand on the backs Of camels. Do you think you would like to ride on one? The little children ride in 6 kind of basket.
 The people often travel many days in the great desert without finding any water. They always carry water with them in great leather bottles. But the camels themselves can go mary days without water. They do not get thirsty
 I wish you could see I baby camel it is such a queec little thing. His body is small, and his legs are very. very long. He has big black eyes. His hair is fluffy and yellow
 It is a funny sight to sec the cam els eat. The driver spreads a clcth on the ground and pours grain upon il. Then the cameis sit down on the ground around the cloth and eat. It is just like picnic.
