Picked her up at-wait'll I get it-yeah, in front of 129 South Quincy, where all the rolling mill hands live, see? And the kid was spilling the tears and said she had seen Santy Claus and was out l following him up. And O'Shea has an Irish heart and a couple of spalpeens of his own and so he grabs her up and wraps her in his overcoat and brings her in and then wants me to listen to some stuff she told him, see2 And while I know OShea hits the bottle once in a while-I didn't catch any thing on his breath and so I'm telling you the story just like he told it to me only I think it is all razberries and you birds can suit yourself about rum ming it, see?

A Citizen Police

From many The Republican has been given endorsement of it's recent suggestion for the organization of citizen police namely to assist in the enforcement of regulations Many citizens have spoken of the frequent and dangerous viola tions of the ordinance that have under their observation. Some of them have said that they ported these violations the authorities who naturally and properly requested them to sign com plaints They did not like as private citizens do but some them said that as members of citi- zens' police they would occupy different footing Then they would feel at liberty not only to make formal complaint but to make arrests.
 Phoenix has not enough patrolmen and perhaps cannot afford enough sufficiently police the business district say nothing of the outlying tricts where most of the serious accidents place. The police We believe vigilant and in the congested district fairly enforcing the regu- lations. That the regulations are observed there leaves doubt that drivers are aware of them and obey them when they are under the official eye; that therefore the violation of them outside the scope of enforcement is wilful An argus-eyed citi- zen police forge would have beneficial in the outer districts.
 There is. too. more than the usual volume of law lessness in the city. We have had frequent rob- berries hold-ups and burglaries Sneak thievery has become prevalent. A policeman can not be summoned until long after the crime has taken place and the marauder has disappeared There should be some one more citizens in each block empowered to act and we think most citizens who would volunteer for such service would act willingly and promptly as member of citizen police force when as purely private and unattached citizen would hesitate to interfere.
 It appears essential that something should be done if the town, if pedestrians and law-abding drivers of automobiles be given protection which they may rightly claim.

CHRISTMAS CANDLES

 Through the holy night, Bring back childhood's dreaming
 By Christmas candlelight. On the hearth rug resting
 At my mothers knee, I sent my fancy questing
 Untold joys for me. Friendly gods beseeching
 Such a future grandi- Tremblingly half reaching
 For my mothers hand. Candles twinkling brightly;
 All the flaming spears Promising 10 light me Through splendid after-years. Gone from me my mother, Lost to me my dream; Still, the wide world over

BRITISH WORK MOST THURSDAY

What is the best work day in Amer ica? In England it is Thursday.
 That is the finding of industrial re- search board investigators of that country. The London Chronicle re- ports that over a period of 20 weeks the output was registered and "Sriphs were made.
 The workers gave their best on Wednesday and Thursdays, but the output on Saturday was invariably low. When doubled (to equalize the time) it is often less than 75 per cent of that on other days.
 Another important conclusion was that the skilled workman is much more regular in his output than the worker not so well qualified. He does not get the tired Saturday feeling" so soon.
 In some factories the output rises until Friday, but among the less skilled workmen it was found that Thursday was the best working day.
 An important consideration which the investigators kept in mind was that of the atmospheric condition in which work is done. Records of the air conditions have been taken with the output records.
 In various plants the Saturday out put was so low that employers found it unprofitable to operate, so they closed their establishments on that day. From this it would appear that on a half day the worker does not give the average of a half day of produc- ton.

FARM NOTES
snunre Dealing Farmers

"If ever the producers of a food crop
had a chance to squeeze the market for
all the traffic would bear, the oppor-
tunity came to the California Walnut
Growers Association, comprising so
per cent. of the growers of the state
with the 1919 crops" writes Freeman
TiIden in The Country Gentleman of
February 18th. The crop was 50,0OO,-
90 pounds, u. 600, 900 pounds above the
previous year. but the market was bare
of nuts and the French harvest was
light and of poorer quality.
So the trade held its breath in antici-
patton of a staggering opening price.
Then came the announcement, thirty
one and a half cents a pound. much less
than was expected and less than the in
dependents were charging. Brokers ana
even retailers wired their congratula-
lions; spa commented on the
fairness and conservatism of the assoc
citation. Within forty-eight hours or
ders were booked for every pound of
nuts in sight.
The fact that the association has an
able manager and a broad-minded
board of directors caused this square
dealing with the nsum These men
do not concern themselves alone with
the crop; they also look to the future
of their industry. The service of the
association to its members is not con-
fined to its warehouses, splendidly
equipped for grading and packing the
nuts; it also help them to get big,
highly-quality yields.

Agree On Dyestuffs Bill

The subcommittee of the Senate
Finance Committee has agreed on the
dyestuffs bill.
The purpose of this legislation is to
regulate the importation of coal tar
products and to promote the establish
ment of the manufacture thereof in the
United States. A method of importa-
ton restrictions to be controlled by
the United States tariff commission has
been adopted.
The bill, as framed now, prohibits the
entry into this country of a long list OF
coal tar products unless the United
States Tariff Commission shall state
that such article or a satisfactory sub
stitute therefor is not manufactured
and offered for sale by the manufac-
turer in the United States or any of its
possessions on reasonable terms as to
quality. price and delivery. Also that
such article is required for use by an
actual consumer in the United States
or in any of its possessions; provided,
that the said commission may, in its
discretion. permit the sale or the eX-
portation of such article"
1t is believed that the dyestuffs Dill
will pass at the present session of Con-
gress n that the Senate proposition
will prevail over the House bill.
Senator Simmons thinks the Demo-
Gratis will support the principles en-
bodied in the bill to be reported to the
finance committee by the sub-commit-
tee. He said he is willing to protect
the American dye makers, but he woul
also safeguard the domestic consumer.
He may offer amendments to make GER
tain that the manufacture of coal tar
products cannot oug the
