IN LEGAL FIGHT ID
 STAY EXECUTION IF SIMPL|C|O TORRES

Simplicio Torres may not be hanged at the Arizona state prison at Florence Friday of this week in eXtenuation of the crime of murder of which he was convicted and given the death penalty.
 As predicted, the attorneys for Torres are making an eleventh-hour fight to delay the execution.
 With the execution but few hours away, there were filed yesterday after noon in the office of the clerk of the supreme court an application for a writ of habeaS corpus to compel the bringing of Torres to this city and an application for a writ of nnandamus for an order compelling the warden of the state prison to have Torres examined for his sanity. The applications were prepared by Attorneys F. C. Struck meyer and Clarence Johns of Phoenix and Attorney Abbey of Florence.
 It was announced that the supreme court would act on both the application for the writ of habeaS corpus and that for a writ of mandamus at 10 o'clock this morning. Should they be granted, they would automatically stay the ex- ecution. The state will be represented this morning by F.. B. Whitney, assist ant attorney general.
 Simplicio Torres was convicted of the murder of Vic b. Melik, town mar shal of Williams, about a year ago.

MAIN LINE TIE-UP
 SANTA F MAY BE SOON FELT. HERE

Although all Santa Fe passenger trans were sent out of Phoenix on scheduled time yesterday, reports re- ceived here indicate passenger service on the main line was brought to a halt last night. Two passenger trains on the main line of the Santa Fe were held at Wlnslow and one at Williams, ac- cordlng to unofficial dispatches re- ceived here
 No instructions relative to the tie-up on the main line had been received by local officials of the Santa Fe at late hour last night. Fred Cruice, assistant general freight and passenger agent for the railway company here, called the dispatcher at Ash Fork about mid night last night and learned that east bound train No. 10, due at 10 o'clock, had not arrived and was not expected F. NJ. Robinson of Flagstaff, who is stopping here at the Jefferson hotel called The Republican office last night and said he had learned over the long distance telephone from Flagstaff that no passenger train had passed through there yesterday. Flagstaff is on the main line of the Santa Fe. MT. Cruice said he had not received orders yet eancelinG any passenger trains to or from Phoenix
 Officials of the Arizona Eastern re- ceived reports yesterday that all pas senger trains on the Southern Pacific were being operated nearly on sched- ule. Press Bancroft, an official of the Arizona Eastern here, received the fol- lowing telegram from the general freight and passenger agent at Tucson yesterday:
 .All yesterdays passenger trains and those of this morning left Los Angeles on schedule and will continue to do so."
 Only a very small proportion Of the general run of freight is being received in Phoenix now, according to railroad officials here. Local freight to various points in the state reached by branch lines is continuing to move without much interruption, but shipments from points outside the state have nearly stopped. Only two cars of freight from the main line of the Southern Pacific l were reported received here at the Ari- 1 zona Eastern freight yards yesterday. l The extra freight train, which generally l brings many carloads of merchandise | from the main line of the Santa F'e to | points the Phoenix branch was not 1 run yesterday. The local freight train over this branch of the Santa Fe was operated as usual. Officials of both | railroads here said there has been no | change in orders relative to the embar- l goes. Neither the Santa Fe nor the 1 Arizona Eastern (Southern Pacific) is | accepting livestock or perishabie | freight, and dead freight is being | accepted only subject to delay.

The Kid has been up against it hard

The Kid has been up against it hard this spring. In the first place he got q very late start to the training camp. But as late as it was it found several men still holding out. The Reds had something on the White Sox in playing ball, but not a thing when it came to holding out. Weaver, Risberg, Kerr and Cicotte caused him some worry.
 But the team IS in pretty good shape despite the late arrival of the stars. It finishes the training season in better shape than some others who had the advantage of an earlier start and less trouble with holdouts.
 There seems to be an epidemic of "holes'' in the big league infields this season. Gleason has one that is caus- ing trouble. Chick Gandil is not with

 This is the conclusion from figures presented by the department of labor, resulting from a study covering prices and wages during this period. The relative wholesale price figures for -earious groups of commodities col .ected in the month of November for he year 1913-1919, inclusive, show hat the dollar, which in 1913 was worth 100 cents, was worth. in 1919, only l3.9 cents.

THIS APPLIES TO
WlNNEMUCCA, TOO

There are many things that cannot
be done in a town the size of Phoebe
which can be done in a city. That's
why you'll find more cooperation in
the smaller towns. The people learn
that II anything is accomplished 1t
must be through cooperation. When
a public movement comes up in a
city there's usually enough people for
it to make a big clamor and it goes
through. In a small town, to get by,
combined support of everyone. If
there are but a few citizens opposed
to it, those few are sufficient to dis
courage the majority favoring it.
1t takes cooperation of the whole
hearted sort to put anything across
in towns this size, even to getting III
a good newspaper. Everyone must
be willing to help, to telephone the
editor or bring into the office little
items he or she is interested in and
which will in every case be of inter-
est to someone else. The small-town
paper cannot employ reporters to go
out and dig up the news and bring it
into the Office. 1t must depend upon
you and your neighbor to keep it
posted, to get marriages and births
and deaths, accounts of visitors and
sales and business changes, crop con-
ditions and, in fact, everything Of in
terest in your town or neighborhood
to send those things or bring them
to the office. Just as you cooperate
to make the paper better and brighter
and more reliable, so will the other
fellow.
At the same time the fact that you
cooperate and support a home in
stitution will spur the editor on to
greater energy and it will be possible
to turn out a paper the citizens will
be proud of-one which will put this
community in a mighty good light
with people in distant towns and
cities where it is being read.-GPioche

The three functions Of money are
to serve as a medium of exchange, a
measure of value and to prove the
superiority Of its possessOrs over the
rest Of us. This latter Is the most
difficult Of the three.
There are other things in the world
than money, but they cannot be OBJ
tanned without it. If we spend our
lives grubbing money, we don't want
the other things. They're too dear.
The only really happy man is one
who has a sunny disposition and no
money. And his disposition won't
stay sunny very long. Neither will
his creditors.
Philosophers have often explained
why the poor r happier than the
rich, but they have w succeeded
in explaining why those who have
experienced both conditions always
choose the check book.
The money we have measures our
misery and the money we spend mea-
sures our happiness. 1t isn't getting
money that brings enjoyment, it's
spending it. But if we get rid of il
all, we 60 to the poorhouse. Money
is the most elusive and contradictory
thing in creation, except a comp
troller of the treasury decision. There
is no question about 1.-THE man whit
invented money was a woman.

HOME STORE
SERVICE


The typical store clerk in Winnie
mucca is a very different sort of
person from what you would see in
some big city department store. The
home store clerk has been under the
direct training of the proprietor. He
has come into personal contact with
the man who knows all the ms and
outs of the business. Consequently,
it is comparatively easy for the clerk
who has any spirit and ambition to
acquire an intimate familiarity with
the goods that are being handled.
AS a result, the home store clerk
is something more than a mechani-
cal slot machine, who performs SIM
ply the function of finding the goods
and handing theta over the counter.
He can tell you a lot as to what kind
of purchase pays best, what other
people are finding satisfactory. One
could afford to pay more for goods
bought with this kind Of intelligent
help, only this is not necessary under
the efficient modern systems of retail
distribution.
