A sa5.ooo BOAR

Did you notice that Frank Wise S Sons. of Cicero. Ind, sold their prize Poland China. boar last week for $35,- 900? Get it right thirty five THOUSAND dollars,
 Mighty fine animal no doubt, but who'd want such an expensive cr1tter on the ranch? Why. a man would worry himself into the grave taking care Of him. No man who planked down $35,000 for an animal would trust him to the care of the hired hands.
 AIenated Affection
 To give this razor back the atten- tion the price warrants would require so much of your time that the rest of the ranch would go to rack and ruin. No crops planted. weeds taking the garden off wood box empty-and the wife would be forced to sue you for divorce on the ground that somebody else had "hogged" all your attention and affection.
 Can you imagine yourself getting a night of real sleep with $35.00o porker out in your pig pen? Yes, that's about the only place you could get your sleep-in your imagination Every creak of the barbed wire fence break ing the still of the night would give you reason to believe that your thirty five thousand iron men were walking off. The only way you could make sure of yourself would be by putting up a concrete wall around the ranch with moat outside of it and armed guards on top like the teeth of a comb.
 And it would probably be just your luck, while the guards were pulling off a poker game down at the far corner of the ranch, to have His F'atneSs breaH out of his pen and set his $35,O00 dollar roofing apparatus to work tun- neling under the wall. Then what would happen? Why, in two minutes he'd come out of the other. end of the hole, flop into the moat and you'd have only s35,000 worth of 'watered stock on your hands.
 When He Scratches
 No siree. Owning thirty five thousand dollar boar isn't what it's cracked up to be. Think of the waste attendant upon even his most inno- cent daily habits. The whole thing would narrow itself down to a race between your money back before he exercised it away. Consider his bristles At the price, this critter ought to bristle with wealth. Each bristle on his back would be worth-wen a nickle piece wouldn't make them any stiffer than they actually are. Now, hog likes to scratch. And every time our prize pork would scratch he'd rub off dollars worth of hair. easily. You can readily see where you'd get off if this aristocrat got prickly heat or some other itch. You would have to keep him in d smoothly padded pen and such luXuriant surroundings would make him lazier than nature made him.
 A Chance to Recover Unusual animals like this might of course. permit of employing unusual methods of bringing in revenue, such as charging the neighbors to hear him grunt at so much per. Although they say aristocrats-man or beast-usuaI- ly are a dis -gruntled lot
 Take it as a whole and a s35,0oO boa r on the ranch would be something of a bore.

ONLY TWO MORE DAYS
 IN WHICH ID FINISH CENSUS IN THIS CITY

There are two more days for taking the census of Phoenix. The work is progressing satisfactorily under coop eration between the supervisor and the committees which have volunteered 10 help in the location of persons whose names appeared to have been over looked.
 It has been found that in several cases when men or women reported that they had not been visited by an enumerator, the latter had done his duty. He had either seen the man of the house at his office or elsewhere and secured from him all the necessary data. Or he had obtained it at the house from the wife who neglected to tell her husband.
 This failure on the part of the heads of the family to take each other into their confidence in the matter of the census has put enumerators to lot oi unnecessary trouble

WE ECHO "AMENID

You may have seen the following letter ere this, but it so accurately re- fleets the experiences and state of mind of the majority of us, that we re- print it here. We clipped it from an exchange some time ago and our inn pression is that it has seen the light of day in papers here and abroad.
 Dear sir: I have your letter re- questing a donation for what you con- sider a very worthy cause. I flatter myself that I have a spirit of loyalty and generosity. I have contributed to each and every object that has been presented to me. but I certainly have to decline to help the cause for the following reasons:
 I have been held up, held down. sand bagged, walked on, sat on spat on, rolled over flattened out, and squeezed, first by the United States government for the federal war tax, the excess profits tax, the Liberty loan bonds. and the bonds of matrimony; in the state of New York for the state tax. the highway tax, the income tax, surtax, the auto tax, school tax, dog tax. cat tax and syntax. I have been held down to brass tacks by every society and organization that the mind of man can invent to attract what you have or may not have, from the Society of St. John the Baptist, the G. A. R., the Women's Relief corps the Mems Re-
  the husbandless, the childless, the con- scienceless, the Navy league. the Bel gian Baby league, the Red Cross, the Green cross, the double cross, and every other cross of all colors. and by the Children's Home, the Dorcas so- ciety, the various hospitals, including the Lying-in hospital, the lying-out hospital, as well as some other lying institutions.
 My income has decreased in volume owing to government restrictions and prosecutions of properties I am inter ested in, and because I will not sell all that I have and go to beg. borrow, and steal I have been cussed and dis cussed. boycotted, talked about, lied to and about, held up, hung up. robbed, and nearly ruined. and the only reason am clinging to life is my curiosity to see what in hell is coming next. Yours truly,
 New York

 Charges of inefficiency were filed against Asphalt Foreman Patrick H Lynch, 23 South KarloV avenue. Su perintendent Of Streets Thomas II. Byrne alleges that Lynch allowed his men to cover thirty manholes with two inch layer of stone and asphalt in paving Elston avenue.
 The inefficiency consisted. probably. in Lynch's failure to do a good joh of covering up".

Republicans to Blame

There is not much partisanship in
the discussion, but it creeps into
'The New York Worlds" explana-
tion of the failure of 1919:
"The year 1919 will have few mourn
ers. Heralded as the year of peace, it
has been q year of war after the war.
1t has been a year of disappointed
hopes and frustrated ideals, a year of
the profiteer and the reactionary, a
year of greed and sordidness and base
partisanship.
"Twelve months ago to-day every
body believed that 1919 would mark
the beginning of new era in the re-
lations between labor and capital, be-
tween individuals and government, and
between nation and nation. The be-
ginning of 1920 sees all these relation
ships more tangled and snarled than
they were last New Year.

more from politics than from radical

clans than it is from sedition. For a
year the Republicans have devoted

been 50 ready to meet them.
There is everything to face and
nothing to fear. 1t was for
