And destined not to have these necessares in anywhere nearly sufficient quantity this year if the farm labor shortage is not met promptly.
 Kansas is asking for 10000 additional harvesters from outside her boundaries. Michigan wants 24,90 farm workers The Michigan Farm Bureau reports that 57 farms in the will be worked this year, while other land which will be worked will show decreas cd production
 The labor shortage looms up mighty serious to the farmer It is going be equally serious for the town dweller although he does not seem to realize it yet 1t is time for friendly cooperation between these two groups.
 Tn Illinois Agricultural Association has instituted a back farm movement by which hopes to inter- who have had farm experience but who have left farms for city jobs returning to help the farmer for season least The association Is running faln labor clearing house.

wANrED-cARBoN COPY LEGISLATORS

The Douglas Dispatch is franticaly advertising in its editorial columns for legislative timber Urgent quests being made for candidates join the ranks of probable political martyrs. This is being done at the behest of the Douglas ring of political dOpesers who find themselves sorey in need of that certain brand of carbon copy representatives in the Arizona legsla ture that will follow the dicum of the ring to the letter
 In the face of the many previous sringng defeats the ring again gathering its forces for another drive to- ward the goal of grabbing the county seat In the past they have exercised kind of antics known to the inside nicacies of political grabbing until they finally succeeded in bringing the matter to direct vote of the people. The blow they received at the polls left them dazed for considerable period but they at ii again, and may look for almost anything.
 The ring be able to beautiful visions of Douglas the county of COchiSe county and they may be able to of wOuldbe carbon copy legislators work for he cause. but they still have the voting public of the county to contend with and this is the point they have constantly regarded all too lightly
 Douglas may be 95 per of Cochise county ill the minds of the ring and the egoism they display Ill pro- claiming that city ''the center of population is positive that they making the same old tlme-won mistake.
 Carbon copy legislators may do great things for the cause'' in the next legislature but when the day ap breaches for the county plumb to be dished the victor the Warren District will find itself deeply in debted the Douglas ring and the faithful carbon copy legislators.

NOVEL HOSPITALITY

Douglas. on the main line contender among Ari- zona cities for the palm of leadership has introduced new scheme of entertaining excursiOniss; the city of the smelters has patented a novel hospitality.
 According to the Douglas International 700 peo- pie from the town of NacOza Sonora invaded Douglas excursion The day Sunday-the day of e. creation and restand ball game staged ill the aft at which "a large crOwd'' attended But that part usual Excursonsts always treated with ball games and other games. The interesting feature of the entire affair." however is contained in the following position:
 1.-The general expression of the merchants about the city is the effect that the NacOzar distinct success. The visitors enjoyed them selves and the proed a reasonable extent. Many of the excursionsts came prepared to buy needed articles in Douglas having been advised that the mercantile 'establishmets would be open during the shopping hours of the day.
 1.-The J. C. Penny store, Levy Bros, the Bazaar and other of general character undoubtedly pro- fitted more than the speciality houses. though all who remained open did some business The Phelps Dodge store did not take advantage of the occasion to open its doors.
 ''The jewelry houses open, but the visitors apparently patronzed them very sparingly. Sea man TOssell, who have been conducting Red Star club sale, report satisfactory day as besides the cursionists, few belated local people took advan- tage of the opportunity to investigate and buy. The Style Shop feels we'll repaid for the time spent in opening up the store
 1.-The Leader Furniture and the Household did but little and if figured the basis of sales did not make expenses. Taking promotion and the general advancement of the city into consideration and in view of the fact that other stores Profted the man agement of these stores express full satisfaction with the results of the day.
 Wouldn't it be nice for Douglas to invite the people of Bisbee to to the Shelter City excursion and to have the stores remain open for the occasion that folks might spend their money there and help good cause7 Indeed, we believe Bisbee would enjoy it. In all fairness it should be remarked that every in Douglas did not remain open. At least did not We wonder what the excusonsts of Nacozar think of the matter? And we wonder: moreover, whether the few dollars that into the cash registers of the Douglas merchants make up for the feeling of the visitors who expected entertainment and received bargain day.
 One feature of the matter we commend-the utter fnkness of the Douglas International in warning of what we might expect, should excursion toward the main line city of Cochise.-Bisbee Review.
