A Thing of Beauty

The old abandoned fountain in the
Arcade, which since the water was
shut off years ago, has been turned
into a community cuspidor, has been
trasformed into thing of beauty un-
der the skillful touch of Charley
Duerr, the Arcade florist. Great
clusters of red and green attract the
attention of all and serve to call at
tention to the wonderful display of
flowers and potted plants in the ad-
joining store.

BISBEE MOBBERS WIN

Washington The United states
supreme court has upheld lower fed
eral courts in quashing indictments
against several members of the mob
that deported 1850 workers from Bis
bee, Arizona, in July 1917. The fed
eral courts held that the indictments
interfered with the police powers of
Arizona and that federal statutes
did not apply.
Arizona courts have dismissed in
dictments against the mobbers and
the supreme courts decision closes
federal courts to the victims.

considerably short in October of
earning that months pro rata share

LOW WAGES INJURE u. s.

Washington In urging higher
wage standards for employees of the
forest service, Chief Forester Greeley
says, in his annual report,
"The real injury from low salaries
is not to employees of the government,
who can take care of themselves by
seeking other positions but to the
government ITSELF"
The report states that capable
woodsmen can no longer be secured
at pre-war rates and that filling their
places with unseasoned men may be
responsible for fire losses greater
than the cost of capable men.
