we beg to tender our sincere condolences
upon their irreparable loss. Carlos"
as he was well-known to his friends,
was a kindly, ~good-natured fellow, al
ways ready to give assistance by word
or deed to those calling upon him; and
for the good deeds done in private and
in quiet, he will be sadly missed by a
great many.
He was our friend, having known each
other from early manhood, and his death
in the prime of life we sincerely deplore.
Our sincere hope, however, is, that he
will, in the hereafter, meet the full re-
ward due his life on earth.

There are big tasks lying before wo- men-tasks that need such wisdom as we get from combined study, tasks that need the altruism we get from working together. tasks that need the energy we get from combination of effort. We want homes where the big things ere made big and the little things are made unimportant. where children can be well-born and joyous and grow up to noble citizenship, where the family income is made to serve the highest family interests. where there are vigor- ous American bodies and minds. We want communities that are extensions of the home. where we shall be friends with each other. we people of all races and creeds, where good schools. high standards of public health, recrea- lion. beauty shall tempt the finest type of people to come and live with us and bring up their children. We can not get these things unless we all work to- gether. We must put them into daily intercourse and into politicis.

 of Womens Clubs.
 Mrs. P. J. Flannigan of Bisbee, presi- dent of the Arizona Federation of Wo- mems Clubs. was in Phoenix early in the week when she announced that she planned to visit practically all the clubs in the state during the year.

 Mrs. H. A. Guild, auditor of the General Federation of Women's Clubs and past president of the State Fed eration. has returned from Washington where she attended three days ses- sion of the general board. American ism, citizenship training and the social and industrial welfare of women and children were the chief topics dis cussed while the budget was arranged for the year. The following editorial appeared in the Washington Herald during the session:

INDIAN SUM Err.

And now the days of Indian summer!
When Sol still smiles in kindly,
cheerful mood,
And cobwebs lie across the meadow,
Where lalks had nested for their
little brood.
The haze low-hanging dims the land
scape,
The tinted leaves are flashing in
the sun;
The air is still, and all is peaceful,
AS though each pressing duty had
been done.
But when the outward view is tran
A tragedy may hidden be, inside
Each little leaf, so gently falling,
May be little cherished hope that
died.
All, well! All nature gives promise
That what is dead shall surely live
again;
So let us hope and love and labor
To garner gladness, all insensible
to pain.
&C. f. Wadsworth.

Senator Harding last Saturday
made some remark in a speech about
France having sent her spokesman
to him informally to ask about Ameri-
ca taking the lead for an association
of nations. The wording of the mat
ter by newspaper reporters caused
President Wilson to write Senator
Harding, asking if he had been cor
rectly quoted, as, if he had, it APP
peared that the French government
had passed over the head of President
Wilson and opened negotiations with
the republican candidate Mr.. Hard
ing promptly answered, disclaimng
that the French government had APP
preached him and giving the real Ian
guage used by him, which indicates
that no improperly had occurred, no
reference having been made by Mr..
Harding to the French government.

The J. H. Hess family were in

auto tires. Saturday Mr.. Hess was
in town and found an auto with tires
that made track like those of the
purloiners of the chickens, and en-
deavored to get the sheriff on the
case; but he had to go home before

reached home he found that the
chickens had been returned to the
barn lot. He therefore desires II
thank the parties for their return.

Three weeks ago the outlook was
that the republican ticket would
sweep the country and that Harding
would be elected by big majority
over Cox. But since then great
change had eveidently taken place.
Senator Harding's surrender to SEN
atol Borah and his declaration against
the League of Nations, with or with
cut reservations, has cost the party
the support of such men as Herbert
Parsons of New York, who declared
that he must resign as a member of
the republican county committee and
support Cox. His action is said to
have influenced vast numbers of 9TH
er republicans, especially in the East,
to desert Harding A presidential
election is seldom settled until the
votes are cost, and this year no one
can be sure of the outcome before

of about three million dollars; and it
may be possible to irrigate the Quin-

For the purpose of facilitating rec

constitution, and all voters are urged
to keep this in mind when they go to
the polls on Nov. 2 to vote. Do not
forget this important matter. Rec
lamation of the arid lands through ir-
rigation will add untold millions TO
the valuation of the state, but the
state needs the right to condemn
land for right-of- purposes the
same as the railroads have had.
